❤️Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope❤️

It feels different as everything seems to be alright now. After many days he is feeling like a weight has been lifted off his chest and is filled with immense strength.

He smiled at the good morning text he got from his love. Daily he would get texts and calls from her, he would be greeted by her smile and her wonderful coffee as soon as he enters the office.

It was like everything is like before when she started working again in his office. It feels nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is her claustrophobia.

She doesn't have it anymore, it has gone with her memory loss and he was happy that she is free from it now. She has also learnt the work very quickly and Neha would help her whenever she needs help in something.

But it doesn't mean that he will be careless in her matter now. He is more conscious about her health than herself. He takes care of her food, exercise, work, stress and her health. He doesn't want anything wrong happening with her now as she had suffered a lot already.

His friends say that he is being over protective and possessive but he doesn't care. All he cares is about Anu that she is safe, healthy and infront of him. He does not want to lose her for any reason and no matter what happens he will not leave her.

Siddharth smiles thinking about their encounter earlier in the lunch when they went out to a restaurant. She acted like a possessive girlfriend which she is but he didn't mind it at all as he enjoyed watching her claiming him as hers infront of all those women.

And they say he is over possessive.

Overall they are happy and progressing their lives with new memories. They eat lunch together and he would pick up and drop her home daily. That is the only time they get with each other and they are fine with that. In this time only they have got to known each other especially Anu.

Siddharth knows everything about her but Anu doesn't and she is very keen in knowing each and everything about her Siddu. She got to know about his likes, dislikes, his habits, his anger, his laughs, his hobbies.......... everything.

Siddharth was more than she thought he is. He is a momma's boy and behaves childishly whenever he wants to be. He is too sensitive, too vulnerable especially when it is about her and so she is careful around him because she doesn't want to hurt him.

She felt like she needed to protect him from all the pain and sorrow in this world. She doesn't know if it happens with everyone in love or it is just happening with her but all she wants is to protect him.

He is more close to her mother than she is with her and the fun part is her mother takes his side more than her own daughter. She even doubts that her mother loves him more than her.

But she didn't mind it at all infact it amazes her seeing their bond as she never saw such a bond between a future mother in law and a future Son in law.

She rolled her eyes at the choice of her words as she heard them say a lot of times. It was their favourite game to irritate her by always teasing her by saying future son in law and mother in law.

Have you ever seen any mother teasing her own daughter by calling your boyfriend future son in law?

Have you seen any boyfriend teaming against his girlfriend with her mother to irritate her?

It happens with her regularly.

At first she used to be shocked but again she got used to it and she learnt very well not to involve in their talks when they are together.

In between all this, she also got to know about Karthik and Riya. Karthik says that it was her who encouraged him to confess to Riya and she is the reason of their happiness today.

She didn't know what she did but she was happy seeing them happy. Her instincts were right about Raj and Neha too and they are going to get married soon.

Recently, her mother gave her all the things that they had kept hidden from her. Her photos, wall collages, Siddharth's things which she had kept in his memory, his photos along with her dairy.

She had read each and every word in the diary and got to know some of her past. She understood how much Siddharth meant to her by reading what she had written in it about him. She had loved him so much that she had sacrificed her love for his well being and safety.

But the most heart wrenching part of the diary was from where Siddharth continued to write his thoughts in her diary. He wrote how much he had suffered daily without her. He wrote how he had felt when she was in coma. He wrote how happy he was when she woke up and how  distraught he was when he got to know about her memory loss.

After reading it, she immediately went to see him. She cried hugging him chanting that she loves him so much and Siddharth got worried as to why she is crying so much all of a sudden. He consoled her by saying that he loves her too and will never leave her.

Reading her diary helped her in understanding the flashes of memory she used to get and she was happy at last she was able to connect them to her past. She even remembered some of her past but she didn't said anything to anyone as she doesn't want to disappoint them if she is unable to remember the whole thing.

She is just cherishing each and every moment of her life with Siddharth and some parts of memory she can remember nowadays.

Anu looked into the mirror and smiled when she saw the chain on her neck. From the time she woke up from the coma, this chain and locket is on her neck. She thought that it was just a jewellery she wore it always but she didn't know it's importance until recently.

She always liked this locket and didn't had the heart to remove it. She felt incomplete or like something was missing whenever she used to not wear it. Now she understood why did she feel like that as it's just not the locket but it was his love.

It was Karthik who told her about the locket and how much it meant to her. He had even narrated an incident of him trying to find out whether she wore it or not. She laughed out loudly  finding the whole incident very funny and Karthik narrated some more incidents of hers.

She couldn't believe her ears when he told her about how she behaved when she was drunk and she looked down badly embarrassed when Karthik was laughing while narrating it.

She heard some stories of them from her parents, some stories from Raj and Neha, some stories from Dr. Ramesh, some stories from Karthik, some even from their staff too...... All these overwhelmed her to the extent that she cried for three days sitting in her room. They were happy moments too but she cried for the pain she had caused him and he beared it all silently and that's why may be he never speaks about the past.

Siddu had no idea of her crying as she didn't show him actually how she felt.
She heard something or the other from everyone about her past but Siddharth doesn't speak about the past at all until she asks him something maybe because most of the memories were painful.

At the mere thought of him makes her want to see him now and so she went to his floor. She knocked on his door but didn't get any reply. She frowned and went inside slowly to see him sleeping resting his head on the table.

This new project is making him restless and tired. He didn't sleep atleast for 4 hours daily from last 3 days and immersed himself wholly into this project.

She moved all the files and arranged them at a corner. She removed his laptop a little away from his head and looked at him. She surely must have done something good to get someone like him.

She slowly brushed his hair away from his forehead and admired him. She decreased the temperature of the A/c and sat on the couch staring at him. She walked to the glass window from where she can see the whole city and stood there staring off into the distance.

She looked at him when she heard a sound and saw that he was shuffling. She went near him and caressed his hair. He smiled in his sleep feeling her and she smiled looking at his smile.

This man infront of her had done so much for her including loving her and she always gets goosebumps reading his part of the diary. She wondered if she should tell him that she got to know everything about their past or not.

Sometimes she thinks that he doesn't want her to know because he always dodges the topic and avoid speaking about it.

She kissed his forehead and sat back on the couch. She saw the time, it is 6:00 pm and she decided she wouldn't leave him in the office today.

She sat there just looking at him and she couldn't get enough of him. She could just live by staring at him all day.

Looking at his sleeping face, unknowingly she also fell asleep leaning her head back on the couch. It's been an hour since they are sleeping and Siddharth woke up at the sound of beeping of his phone.

He look startled at how he slept in the office and even more surprised to see Anu sleeping on the couch in a very uncomfortable position. He sighed looking at his files and then at her.

He grimaced at the thought that he wasn't giving enough time and attention to her. Past week was hectic with work and meetings. He hardly got time to see her and talk to her.

He got her back after facing many difficulties but now he doesn't even have time for her. From the time she had joined the office, he had been busy. Nowadays he doesn't even pick up and drop her or atleast doesn't even eat with her. This project is consuming a lot of his time and he wonders what she must be thinking.....maybe worst boyfriend ever.

He sighed sadly looking at her tired face and realised that she doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Infact no girl deserves the ignorance but she never complains.

He kneeled down before the couch and looked at the angelic face before him. He can't even imagine his life without her and smiled at her cute face. He was debating to wake her up as she needs to go home, it's already past 7 pm.

She jumped up in her place when her phone rang scaring her making Siddharth chuckle at her. She looked at her phone and saw it was her mom. She talked to her saying that she will be home soon and hanged up the call. She looked at the time with wide eyes as it's late and she needs to go home soon.

She looked at him who is watching her intently and raised her brows.

" You are up, come on let's go." She said getting up.

" Where?" He asked.

" Home." She shrugged.

" I still need to work, you go and take rest." He said looking away when she looked at him disappointed.

" But I was waiting for you only." She said looking down.

" Sorry Anu, I will make it up to you once this project is over." He said apologetically.

" I know you wouldn't listen to me." She sighed and cut him off when he was about to say something.

" You don't eat, you don't sleep.....You are not taking care of yourself properly.....atleast eat this." She muttered putting a bag on his desk.

She took her bag and walked towards the door.

" Wait." She heard him and before she could respond, she was enveloped in a tight hug.

" I am really sorry Anu......" He said and his voice cracked.

She frowned and looked at him. He had tears in his eyes and she cupped his cheeks.

" What's wrong?" She whispered.

" I am such a bad boyfriend who can't even give sometime to his girlfriend." He said looking down and she smiled.

" Who said that? You are the best boyfriend that anyone could ever get and I am so lucky to have you." She said looking into his eyes intently.

He looked at her and smiled warmly at her.

" No, I am lucky to have such an amazing and understanding girlfriend." He said kissing her forehead making her smile.

" Ok I will go now." She said and walked out of his cabin.

He looked outside the window and saw it was cloudy. It will rain and he immediately got reminded of the rainy night where he saw her fully drenched standing in the middle of the road in a daze.

It scared him so much looking at her like that. He got panicked and took his car keys along with his laptop and some files. Work can be managed but he cannot bear at the thought of something happening to her.

He made a run to the elevator and got inside. He got into his car and was on the road looking for her. She stood outside the office at a corner looking for an auto. He cursed himself for allowing her to travel alone in the night that too when it will be raining.

She was getting into an auto and so he swiftly drove towards her. He stopped the car and got out calling her. She stopped and looked back frowning. When she saw it was him, she got panicked as he looked worried.

" Siddu what happened?" She asked concerned.

" Nothing, I am taking you home." He said and dragged her towards the car.

He made her sit and he himself sat in the car relieving a sigh. All the time she just looked at him with wide eyes.

" You said that you still need to work." She asked him.

" Yeah, but it's not important more than you." Siddharth said clenching his fist still angry on himself.

" Are you okay Siddu?" She asked him.

" Yeah, perfectly fine." He said smiling at her who smiled back at him.

Her smile was enough for him to cool down and relax. By the time they reached her home, it started raining heavily.

" Siddu, come inside.....it's not safe for you to drive in such heavy rain." She said to him.

" No I will go, the work should be done till tomorrow." He said.

" Don't tell me you are going back to the office." She said angrily.

" No Anu, I will go home and work there." He explained.

She nodded her head reluctantly and got out of the car running towards the gate. That time only Anu's mother came outside and tapped on his window.

" Come inside." She said sternly and went taking Anu inside.

He sighed as he have no choice now other than to go inside. He killed the engine and went inside taking his bag.

Anu smirked at him while Anu's mother ordered them to get fresh up fast and come for dinner.

Anu went to her room while Siddharth went to the common bathroom in the hall but it was locked from inside. He thought maybe Uncle must be in there and went to Anu's room.

He stood awestruck seeing the room as the whole room was decorated by their pictures and most of them were his. He doesn't understand one thing from the start that how she will take his pictures without letting him know about it as some of them are of recently taken. He wasn't in her room once also after they had shifted here and he didn't expect her to decorate her room same as before like she used to do before memory loss.

He even saw her diary on the bed which means she must have read the whole thing and that means she got to know something about her past.

He doesn't mind if she knows but he doesn't want her to relive all that pain again because she had suffered a lot in the past and a brain haemorrhage is certainly not something to get reminded.

"What are you doing here?" He heard her and turned to see her who is standing there freshly showered.

" I always wonder how you take my pictures without letting me know." He asked going near her.

She laughed it off but he insisted her to tell.

" It's easy when you have a workalcholic boyfriend who forgets everything when he is doing work." She shrugs it off chuckling at his dumbstruck face.

" Except you." He said and she froze in her place.

He moved close to her and made her look at him in his eyes.

" I may forget anything or anyone but not you. You will be there in my every breath, in my every heart beat and in  every second of my life." He said seriously and she blinked back her tears.

She stood there staring at him.

"What?" He asked nervously.

" You know I think daily atleast for once that I must have done something really good to have you in my life." She said smiling and his heart felt warmth hearing her words.

" Have you both finished your shower?" They heard Anu's mother yelling from outside.

Siddharth hurriedly strutted towards the bathroom while Anu went outside to help her mother.

After a while Siddharth came outside along with Anu's father. They both chit chatted sitting on the dining table while Anu arranged everything for the dinner on the table.

They all started eating their dinner talking and laughing.

" Hmmm....I missed your cooking so much aunty." Siddharth said eating his favourite dish.

" Yeah you hardly come here nowadays." She said and he looked at her sighing.

" He is busy working non stop.....so much that he is not eating and sleeping also." Anu complained and Anu's mother looked at him sternly.

" I am eating aunty.....this project is very important, as whole staff worked very hard on it. So I am working hard on it to make it successful." Siddharth explained.

" Oh! I am very proud of you beta but you can't spoil your health because of it.....please take care of yourself." Anu's father said smiling at him.

" Yeah, your health is more important." Anu's mother agreed.

" That's what I say to him but he doesn't listen to me at all." Anu said huffing earning a glare from Siddharth.

" As if you take care of yourself." He said.

" Hey! I take care of myself unlike you." She said glaring at him.

" If I start listing about your carelessness, it will take a whole day for me to just narrate them." He said smirking at her who looked at him with wide open mouth and smacked his arm.

" Anu, stop troubling him and let him eat." Her mom scolded her.

" Ma! It's not fair.....why do you always take his side?" Anu whined while her father chuckled at them.

Both Siddharth and her mom looked at each other smirking which alarmed Anu.

" No! Don't even say it! Why did I even asked you?" She exclaimed loudly shaking her head in no.

Both of them looked at her smirking.

" Become he is my future Son in law." Her mother said proudly.

" Because she is my future Mother in Law." Siddharth said grinning at her.

Anu groaned loudly and looked at them angrily making all the three of them laugh at her.
