now you are matured enough to decide the goods and not goods. We leave the decision to you. But we are still angry on you that you have got a tattoo on his name!”
Poorna started laughing. She looked at Amit and his parents and her parents and said, “Tattoo is no more on your name Amit!”
Amit was puzzled. Poorna slowly showed up her shoulders. She had re-tattooed the previous one by prefixing and with a little design as “Sumit”.
Amit started laughing out loud. He was in tears. He said, “You were so confident that I would come back. You don’t know how much this would mean to me. It’s not easy to forgive what I have done.”
Poorna had not expected that things would end in this way. She was happy with the turn life had given her. She had thought she will never be able to forgive him but the same expression had formed out as love.
Amit presented her the ring and they were officially committed. He took her out and said, “Let us leave the rest to our parents”
Forty Nine: Happy Endings
Mohit and Purvi had happily settled. Their school got famous and as well many awards and recognition. Government was also aiding it financially. It grew out to be school with more than a thousand registrations running short courses of culture and dance. They also built a hostel and their program also had a Manali trip for registrants.
Aakash and Anwesha had settled in Pune, both working in the same company. With time the love only increased with sufficient number of fights at periodic intervals. They had started a NGO to help the poor kids and they got associated with Purvi’s dance school as well, funding two poor kids in every course.
Amit and Poorna had settled in Delhi. They used to fight as often as possible and in the same way love to. They both were working in different companies and had the most exciting life ever. Amit was loyal to Poorna and respected all her decisions. They had even got both of their parents to stay with them.
Every year, from December 20 to 31, it was a trademark holiday for all of them. The plan was to spend those days in Goa. They had promised to follow it forever! And they did!

It was a great stress buster and I have enjoyed writing every part of it. Literally. Writing this amidst my research works was so much of relief. My sincere “thank you” to all who have read it. It sure is a motivation to write more and better.
Finally, Today is the day, that will call you, a better tomorrow!
