"Bhaiyaa Sumo came here to meet you and she was genuinely concerned for you.Why did you behave so rudely with her?" Pushkar asked while dressing my wound.
"Chote..."I tried to avoid the topic
"Bhaiya aaj koi bahana nahi chalega. Tell me whats the matter? You are pissed or shall I say jealous because Sumo is getting married. Isn't it right?" Pushakr said
"Chote mein kyun jealous hoonga? Infact I am happy that Sumo finally got someone who is meant for her" I tried contradicting what Pushkar had said but I knew he was right.
"Bhaiyaa you can hide it from everyone else even yourself but not me. Why did you slap Verma when he tried touching Sumo,why did you not go to london when Sumo requested you to stop even when you ignored Sir's request,
why did you cry sitting silently in the room when you came back from Sumo's parents house,why is she differnt from other women,why does her marrying someone else affect you to such a great extent that you end up hurting yourself?
Why bhaiyaa? The answer is simple,You love her,You LOVE SUMAN TIWARI bhaiya.Bhaiyaa go get your lady before its too late" Pushkar said knocking some senses into me
"Pushkar you are right, I love Sumo infact I never stopped loving her,I shouldn't have shouted at her that way,she was just dressing my wound,poor girl,I made her cry. How could I do that Chote?." I confessed
"Bhaiyaa jaoo Sumo ko bhaga laoo" Pushkar gave me a cheeky grin
"Par chote mujhe yeh nahi pata ke does Sumo feel the same for me or not?"I said tension growing inside me
"Bhaiyaaa mujhe toh yeh samajh nahi aata ke aap lawyer kaise ban gaye?Sumo loves you deeply. Why do you think she was so concern when you were completely broken after the news about Sir's plane crash,why was she so hell bent on staying with you even when you threw her
out of your life because she wanted to give you your Maa back and I am sure she agreed for the marriage cause a total blind man like you needed some push to realise what you feel for her. Infact if you go and talk to her right now also,she will behave as if nothing happened
between you both because she loves you and thats love,no matter how much you hurt her she will always be there beside you in your happiness and in your sadness. Bhaiyaa all these 10 years you were away,Sumo waited for you. There was not a single day she did not ask about you
either directly or indirectly." Pushkar confessed
"Thank You Chotee! I love You" I hugged Pushkar and kissed him on his cheek and ran away to get my Sumo
"Oh save it for Sumo please Bhaiya" I faintly heard Pushkar saying it
In Tiwari Mansion
I entered Sumo's room and there was she sitting still in the saree in the corner of her room so engrossed in crying that she did not even notice that I had entered in her room.
My heart ached seeing Sumo in such a state. It was all my fault,she was crying because of me. You did this to her and you have to mend her,my heart said.
"Sumo" I called her lightly tapping on her shoulder
"Shravan tum yahan kaise,kab aye?" Surprise cleary evident in her voice
"Sumo I am so sorry I was jus-" I tried explaining her but she cut me in between
"Shravan jaoo yahan see please jaooo" She said with her hands trying to push me with all the energy she had
"Sumo aaj nahi,aaj tumhe sunna padega" I caught hold of her hands and pulled her close and so she could not escape this time I took her hands at back of her back and held them there.
She tried protesting but I was keen on confessing and didn't let her.
"Sumo I am sorry,not only for today but for every single time I hurt you. Whether it be the Reunion party or about the Maa case. I am sorry. Abou today Sumo,I was jealous,yes I was cause I could not imagine you smiling cause of some other guy,marriage be a far thing.
And you know why? Because Sumo I Love You. SUMAN TIWARI I SHRAVAN MALHOTRA IS DEEPLY AND MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU. Just like there is no day without the sun,there is no Shravan without his Sumo. I am willing to grow old with you and I am ready to accept you as you are,
no changes no compromise. I LOVE YOU!" I confessed taking out everything I had in me
"I don't love you Shravan" Sumo said to my utter disbelieve
"Sumo if its about Jeevan,his and your family don't worry,I am there" I tried telling her thinking that maybe this was why she was not confessing
"Shravan I DO NOT LOVE YOU" She said a little louder
"Sumo what about all the things you did for me and all the moments we shared?What did they mean to you?" I said trying to keep my calm
"Shravan I did that all cause you are my friend and nothing else. Why don't you understand that I DO NOT LOVE YOU" she said
Now I was out of my senses. I knew she loved me then why the hell was she denying it?
I started moving towards her and she started moving away. She finally hit her cupboard and I took the advantage of that.
I blocked her there so she could not escape from me
"You don't feel anything even when I touch you like this?" I asked snaking my one hand on her bare waist
"No" she replied but some affect clearly evident in her voice
"Not even when I come so close" I said huskily leaning on her nape
"N..o.oo" She tried hard not to affected
"Not even when I kiss you like this" I said kissing on her nape
"N.o...ooo Shraaavaan" She said making my name sounding like a moan and it felt soo good hearing my name like that.
I bent a little forward just like the night in the kitchen of PreetiBhoj making her feel as if I was going to kiss her. She closed her eyes in anticipation. That moment I knew she loved me but I had to find the reason as to why she was denying it.
I did not kiss her and moved away. After sometime time when she realised that what she was thinking did not happen,she opened her eyes in surprise and confusion. Oh God how I adored her.
"You love me" I pecked on her lips and left
