Swayam's POV
"How is she doing?" I asked, leaning back on my chair and slightly swirling it with my feet.
"She is all fit and fine, back to normal now." Sid replied and I sighed. I didn't know how to leave her in this condition but hearing this from him gave me a little relief. I had to go to Delhi tomorrow. I would have never even thought of leaving her in times like these but it is an important deal. Yes, I am going there to seal a deal with Mr. Farukh Ali, one of the richest people in the world and owner of one of the top MNC, AZ Pvt. Ltd.
This one deal and her dream will get an amazing take off in the market. When my PA had called me when I was in the hospital, telling me it's a big deal, I didn't think it will be this big. This is the biggest break Sharon will possibly get in her career. I rushed to the office because Mrs. Sharma had said it was very important and urgent, I knew it would be something worthy, else she wouldn't bother to disturb me, knowing very well where and what I am doing.
I wasn't let down when she said that his secretary had called in a few minutes before and he had requested to have a meeting with me as soon as possible. I quickly fixed my appearance then and there with a spare formals' set I had in my office and got on a conference call with him. Turns out that he wanted a much more personal matter to be looked after. His baby sister was getting married and he wanted us to plan and manage everything related to that event. His sister, Amira, was following my wife and the whole gang and their works and was super impressed by the team's work. She had made a wish to her brother about this and of course, he wanted to fulfil it.
I was so happy knowing this. This will not only get us a great client but will also open up our event managing business to other countries. I was looking forward to work with him for a long time now and he has come to me from the front. He was all praises about the work done in the charity event and I couldn't be more proud of my love. He was visiting Delhi with some work for a few days and proposed to meet me then. I tried once to budge the offer, given the situation here but he insisted and I couldn't deny it. After all, even the deal needs to be finalized officially.
I wanted to break this news to her soon after the meeting ended but I remembered that everyone had invited me for the small celebration at her place. I regretted just walking out from there, agreeing to her demand of staying with them. How will I live without her beside me, even if it is for few days? I immediately left the office to go, meet her.
When I saw her glaring and behaving cold towards me, I knew I was gone. She didn't talk to me the whole time and it somewhere hurt me. But the doctor's words kept ringing in my head, making me believe that all this is for her good. It was very much better when she herself proposed to be away. It pained my heart when I was leaving for my home and even had second thoughts of staying back but I knew I had to go. I thought of breaking this amazing news to her before leaving but I decided against it. It will be better if I confirm and seal the deal before I tell her. If some issue arises later, she will be disappointed and stress is not good for her.
"Swayam? Hello?" I heard Sid on the other side call out, bringing me out of my trance and back into the present.
"Yes... Yes. You were saying something?" I asked, clearing my throat.
"I was saying that she has become so tough to handle. She wasn't like this before but now, she even whines to eat medicine. Sometimes she just orders like a queen and sometimes, she blasts out like a volcano." He complained and that piqued my interest. I sat straight in my chair when it clicked to me that his description was so similar to something which my Sharon would do. Is it possible? I shook my head to shake off the thought. I am just overthinking about this. If she remembers anything, she would have said it to me first of all.
"Is she still angry with me?" I asked him in a low voice and heard him sigh at the other end. I didn't know why she was angry at me for such a long time. There was this heaviness in my heart, weighing down my entire mood every time I think about it. Did I do something unintentionally? Why is she acting so distant? Two days and still she isn't talking to me properly. I don't have the liberty to call her frequently given her medical condition but whenever I call, I just get curt, short replies and that's equally hurtful.
"I don't know Swayam... She is behaving very weird. Like a whole different person. It's like I don't know her at all now. At times she is normal but she was stabbing her food on the plate, constantly shifting her gaze between her mobile and into oblivion." He chuckled in the end but that alerted me even more.
"And what about her tantrums for eating medicine?" I asked, holding on to my breath.
"Oh don't ask that! It's like she hasn't had them ever. She makes pukish faces. She hates them like anything. We had a very tough time in these two days to make her eat her tablets." He replied and my eyes grew wide. This is not what Pia would do. This is something... My Sharon used to do. No! I am not going there! It will hurt if it's not true. I can't rise my hopes to get nothing in the end again.
"You know right? I said you what Dr. Gupta said to me..." I trailed off, leaning back again and closing my eyes. I slightly massaged my forehead with my fingertips to ease the growing headache. I couldn't sleep properly before because of her being in hospital and now, I wasn't able to sleep because she was not by my side. I guess the lack of sleep is getting to me now.
"Yeah. You don't worry, we all are there for her here." He reassured me and I hummed in response. We both stayed silent for a few seconds.
"Okay then, you take care of yourself Swayam. Call me anytime, whenever you need." Sid said the usual lines as every time and a faint, tired laugh escaped my lips.
"As if I didn't trouble you enough." I chuckled and heard him follow at the other end.
"Even though you spammed me with messages and calls in these two days, I wouldn't call it trouble... It's the least I can do." He said and I felt so grateful for having him with her.
"Thank you Sid, for everything!" I said, feeling overwhelmed.
"Come on now! I don't want thank-yous and that shit. She is my Pia and I will do anything for her." He replied, chiding me for thanking him again and I chuckled.
"Okay Swayam, mom's calling me so I got to go now... Talk to you later." He said and hung up after we bid bye. I heaved a deep breath, relaxing in my chair. The past couple of days were tiresome. I had to go to Delhi for the deal and I was entirely caught up with preparing a convincing offer from our side. Though they have already said they want us, we want to show that we are worthy of their trust. If everything goes well, this might result in a long term asset for our company. And along with this, I had piled up work to complete which I hadn't done with everything going around. Work kept me occupied and gave me a great distraction from the urge of running to her every other minute.
The things Sid said rang again and again in my mind, as much as I tried to brush them off. I didn't want to think of it but my mind was going in circles, again and again behind the same thing. The way she behaved on the call this morning flashed in my mind.
*flashback*
"Hi!" I wished as soon as the call was answered, sounding like an excited little kid who got to talk to his crush. I waited for her reply but all I got was her 'hmm' in return.
"How are you?" I asked and heard her mumble something inaudible at the other end.
"Good." She replied curtly and I sighed. Till when will she be angry like this? What is she so angry about? This is definitely something else... She just can't be angry at me for answering the call or coming to the party late.
"What is it, Pia?" I asked, keeping my voice as low as possible. I could hear her deep breathing at the other end and I waited patiently for her to reply.
"Nothing." I got the monosyllable reply again and I ran a hand through my hair, walking towards the balcony in need of some fresh air.
"Oww!" A yelp of pain left my mouth when my little toe finger hit the edge of the door when I was walking out through it.
"Swayam! What happened?" I heard her panicked voice at the other end which made me smile. This is the longest she has spoken in a while. I bent down and pressed on the little finger to ease the pain.
"Nothing, just hit my leg on the edge of the door." I said, hissing a little in pain.
"The same old Swayam, as careless as a child! Such a baby he is!" I heard her mumble at the other side which made me freeze. Same old? Careless as a child? Baby? It brought back the memories of the time when Sharon used to scold me when I would get hurt by my carelessness. She used to say me I am as careless as a child. How come Pia said the same thing? Did I hear it right?
"What did you say?" I asked back immediately and she remained quiet.
"Pia, what did you just say?" I asked again, biting my lip in anticipation.
"Noth... Nothing!" She stuttered while saying but I felt disappointed at her reply. For a moment I thought that my Sharon could be back but whom am I even kidding to. I am not that lucky to get her back like this. My fate loves to just hit me in my face, again and again, only showing me disappointments every time. This must just be a coincidence. Yes. This is just a coincidence.
"Hello?" She called out on not getting any response and closed my eyes, gulping down the lump formed in my throat.
"I got to go, bye." I hung up even before I could hear her reply. I sat down on the couch like a seat on the balcony, staring into oblivion.
*flashback ends*
Her speaking the same words back then and now, her behaviour which Sid was talking about didn't fit in for Pia. I feel something is odd. Something is definitely not like before with her. And all of a sudden, so much of anger towards me? What did I even do? I felt my head would burst with all these things going on.
I went home after my work was done and loneliness hit me as soon as I stepped into our room. It is so quiet here, nothing like how it was when she was here. I missed her every second and her absence was bothering me now. My room is no longer where I can rest. It has become more of a depressing-four-walled room. I spent the majority of my time at home either in the study, or spending some time with mom. She knew how low I was these days and supported me in whatever I wanted to do all the time in the past few days.
I went to the closet to get changed but another wave of sadness hit me when I saw her dark blue dress lying on the seat there. Probably she must have taken it out to wear in the small surprise party for me. Everything would have been alright if she wouldn't have gone into the storeroom, only if I would have been more careful, she would have been with me now, celebrating my success. Without her, I don't even feel the excitement or happiness of getting the award any more. Sometimes I just think it's all because of the award letter that she was in the hospital for those days. Do I really deserve the award?
I laid down on the bed, facing her side and felt my heart squeezed seeing it empty again. I haven't seen her for two days, no wonder every minute seems like hell to me. I turned and shifted my positions multiple times but sleep seemed to be very far from me.
Enough of this now! I want to meet her. I glanced over at my watch and the time was in my favour. She must be fast asleep by now and I can see her, meet her and she wouldn't know, which won't stress her out either. Great! I sighed getting up and taking my car keys.
The watchman didn't stop me since he knew me already and I somehow managed to climb up to her balcony with his help. Remind me why am I entering like a thief in my own in-laws' house? However I didn't ponder much on it, my excitement of seeing her after two long days was getting the best out of me. I quietly made my way to her side of the bed and smiled looking at her peaceful face. I felt warmth spread over my chest seeing her beautiful face in the dim room, lit with just the bed lamps. Oh, how I wanted to kiss her but I held myself back, not wanting to wake her up. I carefully sat down beside her and vent out every pent up feeling inside me. I tried to control myself but ended up crying, just by looking at her. I felt so light after everything was out of my system.
I changed my plan of going back and laid down on the other side of the bed instead. I sighed in content, finally seeing her beside me. I kissed her forehead lightly, unable to hold back anymore. My hands itched to pull her close and I gave in at last, slowly pulling her close to me. I closed my eyes and smiled when I felt her snuggle into me. I know Sharon, I know even you miss me. Once I am back from Delhi, I will take you back to our home. I cannot handle this distance anymore. I will sort everything, just one more day to go.

"We will be looking forward to work with you." I said, shaking my hands with Mr. Farukh briefly.
"It is our pleasure to be working with you, young man!" He replied, with equal enthusiasm and got up to leave. The deal was sealed and I was so happy for this big catch. Just when he was about to step out of his chair, the door clicked open and a lady stumbled inside, more like she wasn't ready to walk in. She raised her head and my eyes widened. She was Pia.
What is she doing here? That too entering like this? Our eyes connected and she bit the corner of her lower lip, her face flushing in embarrassment. Her eyes we're glistening slightly. There was something in her eyes, something deep, something strong which made me lose myself into it. I felt this heart fluttery feeling in me which I hadn't felt in a long time, ever since my Sharon had left me.
"Well, you didn't say that your wife is also here Mr. Shekhawat. We could have discussed this with her too." Mr. Farukh said sounding surprised and disappointed, dragging my attention from her and I glanced at him, before looking back at my wife, questioning her with my eyes of what to reply. Not only him, even I was surprised. Suddenly it struck me and I closed my eyes, trying to control myself. I am not hallucinating, am I? This has to be a dream!
"Err... Hello Mr. Ali, even he didn't know that I was coming." She replied with a polite smile and he seemed convinced with it. He walked towards the door, his PA and a couple of his officers trailing him and he halted at the door. I slowly made my way up to there and stood at a decent distance from them. I studied her and her body language, and it is definitely what I am thinking. My heart exploded, each part of my body rushing with blood and triumph. I blinked back my tears and swallowed the lump in my throat.
"It was nice meeting you, Sir. I am a little surprised you know me from before." Pia smiled, forwarding her hand and he chuckled.
"Well, who doesn't know about the Swayam Shekhawat's wife? It was nice seeing you too Mrs. Pia-" He was saying but I cut him off.
"Mrs. Sharon Shekhawat." I corrected him and could see from the corner of my eyes that she whipped her head in my direction in lightening speed, shocked. Her reaction did nothing but confirm my doubts. She is Sharon, not Pia. I knew it! I knew it from the moment she looked into my eyes!
"I thought her name was Pia?" He asked again, frowning.
"Yeah that too, but her actual name is Sharon." I clarified and he nodded, shaking hands with her. I looked at her to find her still looking at me with wide eyes. She spared a glance and faintly smiled at him when he left the room but my eyes didn't leave her. She turned back to me and gulped, still shocked. I felt anger bubbling inside me that I didn't know about her. She didn't tell me herself and I figured it out like some math problem. I was mad at her for hiding it from me that she knew she was Sharon.
How I wanted to pull her into my arms but why did she do this? I just wanted to kiss her right now as my Sharon and not as someone else. Finally! Finally she was back but I need to get this out of her mouth. I decided to play with her a little and make her taste her own medicine. I averted my eyes and tried to walk past her, out of the door but she rushed before me and shut it, not allowing me to step out.
"Move." I muttered, glaring at her. She looked scared, beautiful and cute. Really? Stop it Swayam! You are angry with her, remember this!
"Swayam, I-" That's it. I didn't let her complete it and pulled her upper arm, pushing her back against the wall next to the door, trapping her there with my arms on her either side of the wall. I had yearned to hear my name from her as my Sharon.
"Why? Why did you hide this from me for these many days?" I asked, gulping the hard lump in my throat. But why am I even asking this? One look into her eyes and I knew what inner battle she has been through. She might have probably wanted to be alone and away from everything to wrap her mind around it so that she won't hurt me unnecessarily. Her eyes held deep pain and hurt but she was looking at me with equal love and longing, just like me. I sighed and closed my eyes, calming down the rising rage in me.
"Swayam-" she sounded afraid but I cut her off again by stepping a little closed to her.
"Say my name once again, please." My voice cracked in the end and no matter how much I tried to be angry, a traitor tear slipped down my cheek. The expression on her face changed from scared to soft one and she wiped the tear off my cheek. Her fingers traced my jawline and she cupped my cheek, caressing it with her thumb. Her eyes were coated with a layer of water too and she was looking at me as if she wanted to memorize me once again.
"Swayam..." My name left as a whisper from her lips and my dam broke. Tears just kept flowing from my eyes and I smiled at her between the tears. She too was crying, looking at me with all the love. I cupped her face between my palms and nodded a no at her, telling her not to cry but my own tears didn't stop. I didn't understand they were the tears of happiness or tears of pain that I am finally letting go of. I leaned down and rested my forehead onto hers, both of us healing in each other's presence through flowing tears of silent cries which were cried being away from each other.
"I... I am sorry-" Pia said between her hiccups but I didn't let her complete it and smashed my lips against her's. It felt as if someone blew a new life in me. My heart beating rapidly as never before and the butterflies in my stomach doing their dance in a new routine. She responded immediately and started kissing me back. It was needy, both of us needing the warmth and healing from each other, wanting the love from each other. It felt blissful. There was a little salty taste to it as a result of our tears which were flowing even now but none of us seemed to care for it. I poured my everything into that one kiss. My fears of loosing her, my pain of these many years, my happiness on seeing her, my love for her, every little feeling I had for her and smiled slightly in between the kiss when I felt her returning it to me in equal vigour.
When we parted, panting heavily for oxygen, I could feel that none of us wanted to do that even with my eyes still closed. I feared this might all just be my hallucination, just be a mere dream of mine and it would break after I open my eyes. I couldn't believe that this was happening finally, after waiting for what seemed like ages. Gathering all of the courage I had in me, I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked back the blurriness due to tears but fresh ones made their way down my cheeks as soon as I saw her divine face. She rested her head against the wall and was breathing heavily. Her eyes were still closed but a beautiful smile was playing on her lips and her cheeks were flushed red. She looked gorgeous and she was all mine. This time, as Sharon and not as Pia.
My heart fluttered at the realisation and I cupped her face once again to which she opened her eyes slowly. She gave me a dazzling smile and I couldn't hold it back anymore. To be more precise, I didn't want to hold it anymore. I leaned in and kissed all over her face, wherever I could, every inch, every part. I felt as if if I won't do enough, she will disappear again. My mind didn't know any logic right now. I only wanted to cherish the person who was in front of me now. Suddenly I felt a push and she threw her arms around me, burying her face in the crook of my neck. I held her to me and just relished the feel of her in my arms once again.
"Are you really here?" I asked in my hoarse voice and felt her nod against my neck. I tightened my hold around her even more if that was possible. I kissed the side of her head and snuggled more into her hairs, not wanting to let go of her anytime soon.
"I am here..." She whispered in my ears and nothing sounded more reliving than those words from her mouth. She separated herself from my body and looked into my eyes, wiping off the tears from my face, making me realise that I was still crying.
"I am here Swayam... And this time, as Sharon, your Sharon!" She assured me, soothing my soul with her words. I broke down again and leaned my forehead on hers. Even her body shook, telling me that her state is no less than mine.
"I... I missed you..." I cried out in between my sobs. I tried to control them but it didn't seem to work.
"I missed you too... Tho... Though I didn't remember anything but my heart did feel hollow, it knew something was missing." She replied chuckling at the end and I joined her. We stayed like that for some more time and my heart seems to finally calm down. My tears stopped and I took a few deep breaths to bring my breathing back to normal.
"You have no idea how much I missed you... Every breath I took, every morning I woke up, every night I slept, every time I had food, all the time, it was just you who was on my mind. Our memories together, our time with each other, nothing even faded for a minute. I... I missed you so much, Sharon... I missed you!" I voiced out everything and tears slipped from her eyes.
"I know..." She whispered and I leaned a little back to have a look at her. She looked at me with hooded eyes and I frowned. She didn't look fine. I jerked her to me by her waist and her eyes opened fully before her head swayed slightly. Panic rushed in my veins at the sight and I quickly lifted her, walking towards my chair. I sat down and carefully placed her on my lap, patting her cheeks for her to stay awake.
"Hey! Sharon!" I called her out but felt my heart fall to the pit of my stomach when I saw her closing her eyes with a faint smile on her face. I took the water from the table and sprinkled it on her face. She opened her eyes slowly and I left a breath I didn't know I was holding onto.
"You okay?" I asked, tucking the hair strands off her face and she nodded, trying to get down from my lap. I held her tightly, halting her actions.
"Stay..." I whispered and she didn't protest anymore and rested her head on my shoulder. I didn't disturb her anymore and relaxed back in my chair, sighing in relief. This seemed so surreal, something which I only yearned for but never expected it so soon.
"Feeling better now?" I asked her after a few minutes and she mumbled a small yes. She took her head off my shoulder and looked at me.
"Here, have this." I forwarded the glass of water kept on the table to her lips and she drank it in one go. I kept back the glass, my gaze shifting back to her.
"I am okay." She whispered, smiling at me and I kissed her forehead.
"You scared me..." I said, throwing a fake glare at her and she bit her lower lip unconsciously. God! How I love it when she does that whenever she was guilty but it really wasn't her fault.
"I am sorry?" Her words came out more like a question and I knew they weren't only for this. She was sorry for everything because her eyes held that sorrow.
"Don't be..." I replied and her eyes twinkled.
"So you aren't mad at me anymore?" She asked like an excited kid, straightening herself on my lap and I chuckled at her, nodding my head in a no.
"How can I be angry with you for so long?" I asked and she gave me one of her charming smiles. My smile dropped as what happened a few minutes ago, played in my mind.
"You won't leave me again right?" I asked, fear evident in my voice and her hands went onto the back of my neck, travelling up into my hairs and she slightly massaged my scalp. I closed my eyes to feel the tension ease. My Sharon always did this whenever I was stressed.
"I am not going anywhere this time. Not now, not ever." She answered and placed a kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes and just held her near to me, snuggling more into her neck.
"Good. Because I won't let you go anywhere now." I mumbled and she smiled like a child but was replaced with a frown the next second.
"How did you know that I got my memory back without me hinting anything at all?" She asked frowning deeply and I chuckled at her, tucking her hair aside from her face.
"I know you more than you do yourself... You started behaving like your old self and not like the Pia I have known. And when you came all the way here, my doubts got confirmed. Only my Sharon would go to any extent to get what she wants, not Pia." I explained it to her and she gave me an impressed look.
"I must say you have got brains!" She mocked playfully and I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Oh yeah? I have not built this empire without brains baby." I whispered, pulling her a little close and heard her small, almost inaudible gasp. She glared at me and placed her hands on my chest, pushing me away.
"Why didn't you tell me about this trip or meeting? How bad is that that I got to know about this from your PA?" She asked sternly and I smiled, remembering the old times when she used to take my class for doing something wrong.
"I am sorry. I actually didn't want to stress you unnecessarily and this deal wasn't finalized yet. I wanted to give you a surprise of this! By the way, how much did you hear of our conversation?" I asked smirking in the end and her eyes widened.
"What? Come on now! I know you were eavesdropping." I added and nodded at her to answer it.
"Umm... Nothing more but got to know what deal this is and who he is." She smiled sheepishly at me and I chuckled at her cute face.
"Well, congratulations Mrs. Shekhawat for bagging this great opportunity. I hope you give it your best." I said in my professional tone.
"It is my pleasure sir." She replied back in the same tone and we both laughed heartily. My laughter died down eventually and I looked at her serene face.
"Sharon?" I called her out and felt her shiver in my arms. Damn! She still gets affected by my voice like that. Her eyes found mine and she held an intense emotion in them. She just hummed in response.
"I am really sorry for lying to you all these months when you were with me as Pia. I had no other way out. Mr. Gupta had strictly warned against telling you anything of our past directly or anything related to it. I was scared and didn't want to lose you again so I kept on building lies. It pained me so much when I said I wanted to move on from you but that was needed in order to make you agree for our marriage. I just wanted the best for you... It hurt me to lie to you but I had to do it. I am so sorry to say all those things, I didn't mean anythi-" My blabbering was cut short by her fingers on my lips. That's when I realised my eyes went moist again and a tear rolled down from hers's too. I knew that this would be one of the things which kept her away from me for these 3 days. Though she didn't ask this, I wanted to remove this guilt from me.
"Done with your rambling?" She asked and I kissed her finger on my lips to which she retreated her hand instantly.
"I feel so light that it is out now. You have no idea how much the guilt was eating me up." I said and she kissed my forehead.
"I understand..." She replied and we both smiled at each other. Our gaze connected and her eyes held the same old twinkle in them, the one which makes me fall in love with her all over again, the one which makes my heart flutter and spread warmth across my chest. I was lost in her eyes once again. Her deep brown eyes seemed to hypnotize mine because I was unable to look anywhere else.
"I love you, Sharon! I loved you all the time and will do till my last breath!" I confessed and tears brimmed in her eyes. She chuckled amidst her tears with a thick throaty sound.
"I love you too Swayam!" She replied and she smashed her lips against mine in a soothing kiss. I closed my eyes to relish the feeling of this. How different the confession was even when I already knew she did but the only thing that changed is that, now, she was confessing as my Sharon. That changed it all. She kissed me as my Sharon and nothing could be more blissful than that.
Her hands travelled to my hairs, massaging there softly and I held her neck and waist, pulling her more to me. The kiss was a long one but soft one at the same time, both of us pouring our love into it. We pulled out gasping a little and got lost in each other's eyes again. I never felt enough of getting lost in her. Every time I get the same heartwarming feeling looking at her. I guess some things never change.
Our reverie was broken by a knock on the door. She quickly slid off my lap, as a deer caught in the red light making me laugh. For a moment, I forgot thatvwe were in my Delhi office and there would be CCTV too. I made a mental note to check into that later and erase it. We both fixed our appearances and I ordered the person to come in. He was the Head Manager of this branch and he came in with some urgent file work. I went through it meanwhile Sharon sat on another chair and was listening intently and watching me with an intense gaze. He didn't wait for long and took his leave after a few minutes.
"We must be heading back home. I can't wait anymore to meet everyone, especially Maa. They must be longing just like you to see me right? How stupid it was of me to stay away for 3 days! I want to see their reactions when they would know about me." Sharon said lost in her thoughts and I smiled at her.
"I already arranged our private jet to take us back to Mumbai." I replied and her eyes widened.
"What was the need for it? We could have travelled by normal flight." She replied, frowning at me and I smirked at her.
"The tickets weren't available and how can I miss the opportunity to woo you by whatever I earned because it is all for you!" I said and she blushed a little. My eyes darted to my phone and an idea struck me.
"Well, there is a lot of time before we leave for the airport. So..." I trailed off getting up and she looked curious.
"So?" She asked, following my actions as I walked around the table towards her chair and leaned my back against the table, in front of her. I took the mobile and played a nice romantic song and she grinned at me.
"Can I have a dance with you milady?" I asked leaning over her and forwarding my hand open. She happily placed her hand in mine and I took her to the empty space in my cabin. We started to sway and I felt as if I am on cloud nine. We were dancing just like the old times. Laughing whenever we messed up a step, making faces when we were about to lose balance a couple of times, her blushing whenever I pulled her close and her enchanting smile that never left her face.
I felt complete. Her in my arms, us dancing, the very thing that bonded us together. Isn't this what I lived for? Isn't this what I was wishing for all these years? This is the very thing I was missing. God! I love her so much! Thank you for blessing me with this moment and for bringing her into my life once again. Yes, it hurt bad, it was miserable for me but every pain seemed to fade away right now. The dark times vanishing into the light of our love just like there is a morning after every night.
I guess love is this complicated thing. Beautiful but at the same time, difficult. It makes you cry and laugh at the same time, angry and guilty at the same time and even hurt and heal at the same time...
I realised that it was our love that didn't let us be away from each other. The magnet that pulled us both together even when I was unknown to her identity was this stupid little heart. She got attracted to me and fell in love with me all over again because the love she had for me never died down or vanished with her memory. Though her brain forgot me, her heart still fluttered for me. The invisible string between us is what kept us together. Our love brought us together.
Anyways, I cannot be happier that everything fell into place now. I smiled wider, looking at her and placed my lips on her forehead for a kiss again.
The only thing that matters now is her!
