Durga's POV

I was looking at my reflection in the mirror, this girl who was staring back at me was a different version of what she was years back, she was looking happy confident, and proud. She was looking beautiful in her red lehenga and jewelry, ready to be the better half of her soulmate.

I smiled at her, "Be brave, don't let your past ruin your present and future. Don't let anyone harm you again, don't let anyone exploit your weakness, you are stronger than they are, they don't know the paths you survived, the hell you visited, don't waste your tears and energy for them, because they don't deserve it. After some more time, you are going to be someone's wife, the wife of your beloved, the man who loves your soul. Happy married life soon to be Mrs. Durga Varma."

I wipe my tears and smiled again.

"Aww look at her smile..." Awwed Nithya pinching my cheeks.

"How can she not be, it's her big day, congrats Durga." Said Advika hugging me "You are looking very beautiful."

"How can she not be, she is my best friend." Said Nithya pulling me from Advika's hands to hers.

'This girl can't control her jealousy.' I thought and smiled.

"Durga..." I turned around hearing my mother's voice, she was standing at the door with my father, both had teary eyes.

"Mamma, dada..." I ran to them and hugged them both.

"You are looking so beautiful, baby..." Said Dada kissing my forehead.

I wiped their tears "I am so happy you both came. Where is grandma, she didn't come?"

Mamma and dada looked at each other and then at me. "You know her..." Said mamma looking down.

"I get it, mamma, it's ok... You guys are here, that's all I want." I said smiling at them.

My grandma didn't change a bit, she still hates me, while I was in Australia, she got bedridden, and her left side is paralyzed by a stroke. Rudr and I visited her when we came back but she refused to see me, she said she don't have a granddaughter.

But it didn't make me sad, I stopped caring about her, I am blessed with so many people who loves me unconditionally, grandma never loved me and I don't know what's it like to love her so it didn't matter to me anymore.

Maybe she has her own reasons for behaving like this to me, for being cruel. Maybe her family treated her like this and she also followed that path. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, the damages are already done and I am over it.

"Dudu..." Said Nayana hugging me.

"Hey you, where is Druv?" I asked her.

"He is with his friends, I came to thank you, thank you for giving me back my love Dudu." She said with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I tried many times, many times to make him understand it was not his fault, but... But he didn't listen and he left me..." She cried again and hugged me.

"Shh... It's ok love, I didn't know anything about your breakup, if I did I would have never let that happen. It's partly my fault too, and I had to fix that. You don't have to thank me Nayana, I did what I had to. I know how much you guys loved each other. I only have one request, I want both of you to be happy and be there for each others always, will you do that?"

"Always dudu, I am never going to leave him, no matter what happens."

"Dudu, Nayana?" Called my brother coming towards us. "Why are you both crying?"

"Nothing just happy tears," I said smiling at him. He smiled back pulling Nayana to his side.

Both were happy to be with each other, anyone can see their love. They break it off because of me but never stopped loving. Druv was guilty of what happened to me and he thought he can never protect his loved ones and he didn't find himself worthy of any love from anyone. I was so caught up with my fucked up life to see all the suffering of my family, I could have stopped this, I could have made him understand what happened to me was not his fault... But... But I ran away from everything and everyone.
