Letters To Sumo (Daily Episode Take) May 16th-/May 20th (pg.9) - Page 8

Reya Reya 🤗soo happy to see you back ...loved your letters thankfully there was not much daal in it 😆 yes shravan does miss his mother a lot ...he does vaguely remember tasting it...and love the way sumo is trying to bring the mother-son together...Nanu was absolutely right if both of them sit and talk then the misunderstandings can be sorted out...but this job can be done by sumo alone...neither of them want to go near each other...how we humans remember things that we were close to a thing or a person in spite of so many years ...that is the beauty of human emotions...absolutely brilliant letters and totally enjoyed your summary of the week...Till then take care.😃

Letters to Sumo- May 16^th- May 20^th

Sumo, My Sumo,

Can I just say how much I hate it when we fight ? I do, I really hate that we lock heads because our outlook on life is so different. See, I can accept that we both think differently but I just don't like it when we fight about differences. You are my constant in life, Sumo. You are one person I will always need. You are my person. You are my anchor..you hold me steady. And we fight, you say mean things to each other. I say words I wish I could take back. When we fight, you walk away from me, I hate watching you walk away from me. I hate fighting with you because when we fight..I can't call you to hear your voice, I can't tease you, and I can't bicker with you. I can't be your Shravan when we fight...and honestly, being your Shravan is my favourite version of myself.

But Your Shravan is different from Shravan Maltorta, they are two different people. You have to understand that. Who I am with you, I can't be with anyone else. How I feel about you, my best friend, who is a woman is not how I feel about other women. Shravan Maltorta can't change, Sumo ! It might not make sense to you that I hate women solely on my mother's abandonment. But think about it, Sumo. A mother is a boy's first true love. She is the one who is suppose to nurture you, she is one who is suppose to teach you how to love and care for other people. A mother is supposed to teach her son how to treat women with respect and dignity. A mother is a boy's first example of what a woman is suppose to be. And my Ma wasn't any of that ! She didn't love me ! She didn't stay with me and my dad ! She left us ! She left us !

And despite it all..I still love her..I still miss her. I hate that I love her..I hate that I still think of her. I think of how life could have been if my Ma had stayed with us. I think about...about her. I try to imagine how she looks now, is she just as beautiful as she was before ? I think about why she left us..I think that if she ever loved me...and if she loved me..then why she leave me ? Why did my Ma leave me ?

- Shravan

Sumo's Box of Memories : May 16^th- May 20

You know, I find it so odd that the man I love is helping my family find a ladka' for me. Or maybe you wouldn't find it weird cause you don't know that I love you. Just like I didn't know you loved me all those years ago. We really gotta work on our timing. Okay, I should probably be more serious because there are important things I have to tell.

Like the fact that I did indeed make that daal you love so much. Or more importantly that it was your Ma that taught me how to make the daal you love so much. Shravan, you may have forgotten that the dall recipe you love so much is your Ma's but you haven't forgotten the essence of her love, have you ? Ten years is a long time, Shravan. A long time for the heart to heal, for the wounds to heal..but we didn't forget each other..and you haven't forgotten your Ma either. The aroma of the daal reminds you of her..the taste of the daal reminds you of her love. You still remember her. You still love her.

Shravan, you know my Nanu says that there is no problem that can't be solved if you two sit down and talk about it. I think your parents had a small misunderstanding that led to years of separation. I know that when you find out that I have met her, you are going to be upset at me...actually, you are pretty much going to be livid about it. But I am doing this for you...I want you to know your Ma again. I want you to have your mother in your life. Parents leave a vacany in your heart that no other love will ever fill. I miss my parents so much, I would do anything even if to have them back for a few moments, just so I could tell them how much I love them. I want you to have that chance. I want you to be happy, Shravan. And that can only happen if you fight your demons..if you fight your fears and if you let the past go, if you let of the tight grip you have on it. You are only hurting yourself, Shravan. And it hurts my heart to see you hurting.

I love you Shravan and your happiness means everything to me. I am trying to find a way to give your Ma back to you...

- Your Sumo

Yes...the story is starting to get really interesting with the parallel tracks of ShraMan's love story and Nirmala

Am I glad to see you!!!!!

Loved both the letters!!

Top notch.. and only now I realise how I've missed your letters!

@ Bold: My favourite lines! Sumo is in the very DNA of Shravan Malhotra, he tries and will try to lessen the effect she has on him, but he will only end up intensifying his feelings. I've mentioned before, for Shravan, the only thing that ever matters is Sumo.. What she thinks, how she feels... it's like she is engraved in his very soul.❤️

@ Red: Being your Shravan is my favourite version of myself.. Sigh so many feels with this one sentence .. Totally love it!

Why did my Ma leave me? A painfully deep question. This question is all that resonates through Shravan's mind.. the guy is so distraught, he never really came to terms with the fact that a mother, his mother could do such a thing. So he does the next best thing, claim that all women are alike. If all women are alike, the blame on his mother isn't so grave anymore..

Enough said.. Welcome back you lovely creature!!

Until next time🤗

Me Cheerleader 🤗 I swear you are the only soul who gets excited about these letters 😆

@Bold : Now that's exactly why I love Sumo!! She's so selfless.. And when it comes to Shravan, she will go to any lengths for his happiness.. And Shravan, likewise.. you gotta love these two❤️

The ubiquitous dal.. He knows the recipe but forgot who used to make it.. Somewhere I feel he knows that Sumo made that dal, thats why he's so into it😆

I like how Sumo knows his exact reaction when he does figure out what she's upto.. But she will go ahead with her plans cause she wants Shravan to have the chance she never had

@ Red : My absolute favourite lines! Take a bow for bringing it out so beautifully.. This inherent need these two have to see each other happy, just melts my heart❤️

Now that you're back, I hope you keep writing these awesome letters!

Cheerleader signing out🤗

Cheerleader 🤗 Can i just mention how much I loved it that you gave me a response for each letter ? ❤️
