Helloww my lovelies! Here's the next update for you all!
"Sumo?! Are you serious right now?"
He says exasperatedly. He couldn't believe this woman.
"Arre yaar shravan i'm sorry. Mai kya karti naanu ne itna kaam dediya! Aaj subah hi!"
She cried over the phone trying to make her point. Sadness and somewhat anger engulfed her when she got burdened with more work.
"Tum ne kaha tha ye do din sirf mere honge."
He said frustrated.
"Sorry mai-" she started to say but he hung up.
Why couldn't he understand?
He buttoned up the rest of his shirt and went through the file one last time. He had a court hearing today and it was the final one for the week. He had cancelled all.meeting for.that night and the next 2 days because sumo had said she was free. Now he was left with just one hearing for the day and hours of free time. He was miffed and how.
He left his room unbeknownst to another pair of ears that had been eavesdropping on him.
She went around the city to places nanu had asked her to visit and her final stop was the court. She parked her vintage vehicle in the parking area and quickly gathered the files that she had to give to an advocate. She crossed the parking area when she noticed his car resting under the shade of a tree. She smiled. So he was there too.
She looked for the advocate nanu had asked her to meet and finisher allt he work nanu had asked her to do. She then slyly went around with her ear opened, listening carefully for his voice. She crossed 2 court rooms when she heard him. She peeped through the ajar door and slid in. He was in the middle of an argument. Facing the judge. She sat on the last bench without anyone noticing and stared at him. The way he was engrossed in presenting his work was always fascinating to her. The way his hands moved, his expressions, sturdy and confident, sometimes bordering on cocky. She could watch him all day. He turned around in the middle of a speech and stopped midsentence when his eyes rested on her. He went blank for a second and continued looking down at his file. After a good 5 seconds, he cleared his throat and spoke up again, finishing his appeal. He then resumed his chair as the judge made a decision. He turned around to see if she was really there or was he hallucinating and sure enough, there she was. Seated in the far corner, smiling at him.
The judgement was declared and it was in his favour, the court was adjourned and people started to pool out. A few lawyers congratulated him and he shook hands with his clients. Everyone left the room but he stayed gathering papers. She walked up to him slowly from the behind and snaked her arms around his torso. He stopped for a second then resumed collecting papers.
"You have no business here. Kyun aayi ho?"
He asks plainly.
"Apne boyfriend se milne aayi thi." She responds.
"You dint have to. Kya zaroorat thi session mei aane ki. Distracted me in front of everyone...ab sach sach batao kyun aayi thi!"
She huffs and snuggles to his side to move to his front.
"Naanu ke kaam se aayi thi...tumhari car dekhi bahar..."
He doesnt respond or even look at her.
"Shravan tum mujhse abhi bhi ghussa ho?" She whines.
He finally looks at her. She's making her worried puppy eyes and he knows he cant take it. His heart melts like a candle. He sighs and place shis hands on her shoulders.
"Haan. Hoon mai ghussa. Ye tumhari aankhei aise mat banao. Mujhe barabar ghussa bhi nahi hone deti.tum!" He playfully hit her cheek with his fingers. She gasps then keeps quiet looking at him with scrunched up eyebrows. He expects her to hit back instantly but she doesnt.
He looks at her questioningly so she says "i would love to play-slap you too shravan malhotra. But i dont want to cut myself on that jawline of your's". She smiles and snakes her arms around his neck.
He smiles at her compliment, giving in. He wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close. " i'm still mad at you."
She gives him a straight face and leans in to kiss him but he moves his head backwards, eyes wide. "Sumo, we're in a courtroom."
"So?" She asks nonchalantly. He is pleasantly surprised by her advances but he needed her to stay as far away from his place of as possible. He dint want the courtroom too to become a part of his memories with her. How will he be able to concentrate on his cases then?
"Arre koi bhi aajata hai idhar. And this is my place of work!" He replies helplessly looking around to make sure that they're alone.
"PCT mei mujhe i love you bolne se pehle soncha tha ki woh mera place of work hai?" She asks.
"Tum mujhe yahan i love you bolne aayi ho?"
"Nahi. Mai tumhe ye kehne aayi ki that i want you!" Her declaration of desire send shivers down his spine as he sees it flash in her eyes. He swoops down and plants a deep kiss on her. "Khatam kardiye mai ne kaam jaldi. Free hoon." He smiles. "PCT jao aur sara kaam khatam karo. See you at dinner. Tayyar rehna..." he says huskily. She bites her lip just thinking about things she wanted to do and he breathes heavily before letting her go. Sumo, he stops her and places the t points of success on her. She smiles then picks up her bag and walks away.
He picks her up from PCT and she is dressed in a nice white chikankari, kali kurta. Hair worn down. She put on some nice make up too, some grey eyeshadow at the ends that made her eyes look bigger and a deep red lipstick that accentuated her plump lips. Shravan looked at her surprised. This was the first time he was seeing her with dark makeup and he liked it. It was subtle and suited her a little too well. "You look delicious." He says, not able to take his eyes away from her lips. "And you look hot" she replies. He was wesring a white tee with black jeans and a blazer. They drove over to the restuarant they had dined at before.
As soon as they walk in, they're greeted by Bunty. "Oh ho toh aaqir aa hi gaya toh is stage par!" He says loudly patting shravan vigourously on the back. "Hello bhabhiji! Mai ne toh isse bohot pehle kaha tha ki taadhna chorh aur aage badh! Lagta hai isne advice leli meri!" He says laughingly. Sumo just smiles at him forcefully as she doesnt know what to say to this man. They are shown to their table.
They order their food and sit silently. The firsat date. What does one talk about? Ususlly people talk about themselves so the other persoj knows them better butbthese two were far beyond that. So they talk about the 10 years of each other's life that they missed. The food arrives and they gobble it down between funny excerpts of each other's lives they missed.
Shravan's phone goes off and he answers it.
Shravan: ji chachi!
Kamini: shravan puttar kahan hai tu? Abhi tak ghar nahi aaya?
Shravan stalls and answers: haan chachi woh kuch dosto ke saath bahar hoon. Der hojayegi mujhe. Aap log dinner karlijiye!
Kamini: okay puttar ji!
He hangs up.
They resume talking. Soon they pay the bill and leave the restauarant. It starts to rain heavily as they drive over to tiwari killa. They get out of the car and instead of going in through the main door, they take their secret route from the terrace. They reach the terrace and splash around in the rain, getting drenched.
Shravan: toh sumo madam, kaisi lagi aapko hamari first official date?
Sumo: ummm...bohot achhi!
Shravan: are you sure? Lock kiya jaaye?
Sumo: 100%! Bas ek kami rehgayi!
Shravan: kiski?
Sumo: dance ki!
She says this and pulls him to dance with her, hands joined and moving in tandem with their bodies. They playfully ball dance and he lets her hold his hand and stretch and forcefully pulls her into him. She comes crashing into his chest. They look at each other as water poured down their faces. Bodies glued to each other. Her scarlet lips were parted as her breath came out short in anticipation. He had been looking at them all night and controlled himself. But not anymore.
He grabs ger face with one hand as he takes her lips in his. She responds with much fervour and fists his hair. They kiss passionately as the skies poured down on them. He feels her shiver against him and he pulls apart. She still shivers because of the cold. He takes her hand and they go down the stairs into the house. He takes off his soaked shoes and socks and places them in a corner. He then takes off his blazer and hangs it on one of the dining table chairs to let it dry, he ruffles his shirt to get rid of the excess water and runs his hands through hair to make it stay away from his face.
Sumo who had gone in looking for towels for them had come back to witness him in his plain white shirt, soaked and transparent, sticking to his body and his marvellous arms exposed as he ran his hands through his hair. Breath hitched in her throat as she felt a knotting ache in her lower belly.
Shravan looked around to see her staring at him. She looked scintiliating. Drenched to the bone, her hair ruffled as one of her hands towel dried it and had stopped midway. Her clothes sticking to her body, wet and transparent. He could see the shape of her bra underneath her kurta. Water trickled down from.her face to her neck and into the neck of her kurta.
He slowly walked towards her, making her toes curl. He stood right in front of her, looking for answers. Does she want him as much he wants her right now? What is he waiting for?
I want you so bad. Take me right now or i'll take you. She cant help herself from biting her crimson tinted lower lip as she looks at his. And that sets him off. "Ugh i love it when you do that!" He says as he captures them wih his. His hands are all over her and her hands all over him. His hands move to her butt as he lifts her and she wraps her legs around him. He pins her against a wall as they devour each other. She holds him by his jaw as he bites her lip and her lower lips and she flicks her tongue over his. His lips slid down to her neck which he furiously kisses and bites and suckles on. She moans loudly as the ache in her belly grows. She can feel his hardness against her as he pushes himself against her. She clutched the hair on the back of his head he burried himself in her neck and shoulders. Her nails claw his back as she returns his actions.
Her fingers claw at her tshirt and she flawlessly pulls it over him in one move. She looks at his bare torso hungrily. He groaned at they she looked at him, eyes dark and hooded in desire. She pushes him to another wall, pinning him against it as she attacks his bare chest, kissing, biting and clawing at it. She bites down on his collar bones hard, making him hiss and groan. She moves down his front and he opens his eyes to look at her looking directly into his eyes as she kissed down his abs, her finger tips cold against his warm skin. She doesnt move her eyes from his as she stands up and brushed her hand against the waist band of his jeans and down the zipper. His breath hitches as her hand causes havoc in him. He slowly walks and she backtracks until they're in her room. "Take that dress off or i'm going to rip it to pieces" he warns her huskily. She readily pulls the hem up and pulls the dress over and takes it off. She stands in front of him, in a bra and a pair of white jeans. He moves towards her and she moves onto the bed, eye still unwavering from his. He looms over her and they stay like that. Breathing heavy, bodies steaming, the cold long forgotten. He leans in and kisses her gently. She arches her back and pulls him. He softly caresses her sides as they kiss. Suddenly, she pushes him down on the bed and straddles him. His hands move to her waist but she gets hold of his fore arms and pins them forcefully above his head. He is taken by surprise by her force and strength.
"Whoah! Whoah! Easy tigress!" He tells her. She just grinds against him in response and moans. He is spellbound at the sight in front of him. She looked lethal as she hovered over him, eyes closed tight as she moved against him. Her grip on him was stronger than he had ever expected.
"I dint know you were this wild." He says unbelievably.
"You have no idea how badly i want you. This is MY night shravan malhotra!" She says as she kisses him fiercely. He uses his force to flip them over so he is on top of her.
"Then i'm done being gentle..." he whispers, looking straight into her eyes, conveying that he was about to give her exactly what she wanted.
Groggily, she tries to open her eyes, unable to move. The room was dimly lit with early morning light. She looked at the mop of hair tickling her neck. He had burried his head in her arm as his arms were wrapped around her, encasing her like that tightly. She tried to wiggle to no avail. It was getting hot and she was stuck. She slumped back and wondered in her sleep what it was with him always ending up cuddling her while asleep. Not that she minded but she was just curious. He held on to her like he wouldn't let go. And then it struck her. And her eyes opened. She had realized this in jaipur too. He was devoid of affection. He had been alone all these years. He had pulled his guard up. And now that he had someone to hold on to, he did. Conciously or unconciously. She had lost too. But she had nanu and mausi and mamiji. He had no one. This made her eyes water. She mumbled his name trying wake him up and he responded with a deep "hmmm..?" She wiggled and he shifted so she could pull out her arms from under his grip. He sunk back into the pillows but she grabbed him and pulled him into her, placing kisses in his head. He shuffled closer to her, resting his head in the front of her neck that was faced towards him, arm engulfing her waist. She holds him to her like she wanted to satiate all the loss that he had felt. She drifted off again.
She woke up again after a few hours. He was still burried next to her. But his his arms were loose around her. She looked down, peering back at his head. His eyelashes tickled her chest. She saw him open her eyes and look up at her. "Uthgaye?" She asks him. "Hmm...bohot pehle" he replies deeply, snuggling. "Toh uthaya kyun nahi?" She asks with a yawn. "Uthaata toh tum hath jaati. I dint want you to move." Blood rushes to her cheeks as his breath hits her neck when he sighs. It wasnt the first time she was so close to him but he still had that effect on her.
"Sumo, i can feel your goosebumps. Stop poking me with them" he chuckled.
"Achha? You stop poking me with your wand then." He thinks for a while then responds.
"Cant help it. The chamber of secrets has been opened as well as the restricted section. I have to explore."
"Chhheee yaar..." she laughs.
"Tum kaho toh theek aur mai kahoon toh chhee?"
He plops himself on his elbows and looks at her. Her sleep face, smeared make up and her smile. She looked perfect to him. To wake up everyday and see her like this was something he didnt know he wanted so much. She smiled at his pink lips, pinker than usual and wiped the remnants of her lipstick off of them. He shuffled to place one elbow on each side of her she was under him.
He had been meaning to ask her. He had to know.
Shravan: sumo?...
Sumo: hmm?
Shravan: ye kya tha?
Sumo: kya kya tha?
Shravan: last night?
Sumo looks at him confused: shravan, sab karke poochrahe ho kya tha? Practical exam kafi nahi tha? Text book definition chaahiye?
Shravan laughs: nahi i mean...tumhe ho kya gaya tha? You were very...whoah...
Sumo goes pink but tried to hide it: haan toh? Just because i dont pop a boner everytime you're around doesnt mean i dont have needs!
Shravan: i'm glad you dont. I dont think i'd ever have one if you do. They giggle.
She studies his face and combs his hair with fingers.
Sumo: tumhe cuddle karna chha lagta hai na?
Shravan thinks for a while and says: pata nahi? Do i cuddle?
Sumo: tumhe pata bhi nahi hai?
He sticks his lower lip out snd shakes his head in denial. Sumo stays quiet and looks down.
Shravan: sumo? Kya hua?...kyun poocha tum ne?
Sumo: tum jab chaho mujhe hug karsakte ho okay. Kahin bhi. Kabhi bhi. Jabhi bhi tumhe zaroorat mehsoos ho. Sote waqt bhi. Mai tumhare saath hoon. Hamesha. Okay?
Shravan is plain old confused but her declaration warms his heart. The thought of being able to rely on someone to just be held seemed so relieving.
Shravan: hua kya hai sumo?
Sumo thinks for a while and answers: tum jab sote ho toh mujhe aise lapat ke sote ho jaise mai tumhe churh kar bhaag jaungi. Mai ne pehle bhi notice kiya hai...tumhei achha lagta hai kisi se physically itne close rehna. Just for comfort. Tum mujhe lag jar aise so rahe the jaise chhote bache apne parents ke saath sote hain.
Shravan looks down at the mention of parents. So he had subconciously been finding comfort in her. But was it really that subconcious? He always found comfort in her.
He just bent down and places his lips against her forehead. She kissed his cheek and makes a face.
Sumo: ugh...you're salty!
Shravan: duh...so are you...it's sweat.
Sumo: ew!
Shravan: ew?! Ab ew horaha hai tumhe? Jab ye sweat wet tha tab ew nahi tha? Mujhe laga khajaogi tum mujhe! Pata nahi kahan kahan bite marks hain!
Sumo: hello! Same! I'll be surprised if i can walk.
He snickers: i was that good? Not my fault though! You wanted it!
Sumo: yeah i did. And i'm glad i got it. Otherwise i would have taken it from you!
Shravan: whoah! Wait up! Ms.tiwari, consent is not a joke!
Sumo: ofcourse its not. I would take consent and then you. Just like you took me.
Shravan: can we stop with the sex talk? It's not helping.
Sumo: okay. But one more thing.
Shravan: kya?
Sumo: we're not discussing this night ever again.
Shravan: pfft! Are you kidding me?! This night lives forever. How you went wet and wild on me because my wet tshirt was too sexy for you!
Sumo serves him a deadpan look.
Sumo: get up! Put some clothes on. I'll make breakfast!
Shravan: oh wow. Looks like i'm not your hooker anymore. No more sneaking out!
She gets off the bed and puts on a tshirt and tracks and heads to the kitchen.
She makes them breakfast. She pondered over last night. What had gotten into her? Now that she thought about it, she had surprised herself! She goes to the room after he doesnt answer to her calling him, he was in the shower. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She looked normal. But felt different. She could feel his effect on her. She could also see it along with the many bruise-like spoils of war he lad left on her. He called out to her asking for a towel. She opened her cupboard and took one out, handing it to him. Some stuff had tumbled out of the cupboard and she oicked it uo to put it back again. One of them was a pack of tampons. She'd need them soon. She thought as she oput it back in the cupboard.
She goes back to the kitchen and he joins her there. She makes him coffee and goes to shower. He sits on the living room sofa, checking his phone and sipping on the coffee. After 15 minutes or so, she joins him and they have breakfast together. She looks lost in thought. He looks at her ardently. At one point she stops eating so he asks her if she's alright.
Sumo: aaj date kya hai?
Shravan: 6th. Kyun? Kuch hai aaj?
Sumo: 6th september?
Shravan: haan...obviously...
Sumo: shravan...tumhe yaad hai hum jaipur kis date pe gaye the?
Shravan: yaad nahi...around 2 months ago?...
Sumo drops her fork and goes to her room. He finishes eating. She comes back with her phone in her hand and sits on the living room couch. Shravan casually walks over to see her face devoid of all colour. Her eyes are unfocused and wide.
"Hey...hey...sumo? Kya hua?" He asks her, getting worried.
"Woh mai..." she gulps down on nothing.
Shravan: tum kya? Whats wrong?
Sumo: woh mai...i missed my period...
Shravan who is crouching in front of her knits his eyebrows in confusion.
Shravan: oh...okay...dont worry...
Sumo: i never miss my period.
Shravan: sumo calm down. Shh.
Sumo: i never miss my date...i am never late.
Shravan: look mujhe pata nahi mai kya bolun...how late are you?
Sumo: 3 weeks...
He still had no idea what to say. But 3 weeks sounded bad by the way she said it
Shravan: do you want to go to a doctor? Fekhi mujhe sach mei nahi pata mai kya karu...
Sumo: shravan are you sure jaipur ko 2 months hogaye hain?
Shravan: nahi par tum baar baar ye kyun pooch rahi ho?!
Sumo: kyunki jaipur mei hum-!...
She looked at him helplessly her head dropping to one side as dread filled her.
Shravan: sumo pahelia bujhana bandh karo! Problem kya hai?
Sumo: jaipur mei...hum dono saath mei thi...us raat...we dint use any protection and...
She looks at him helplessly hoping he would understand what she was saying.
He still looks at her confused until realization dawns on him. Oh.
Sumo: i took the morning after pill...but they dont always work...
Shravan feels his mind exploding inside but she looked on the verge of a panic attack so he consoled her.
Shravan: look, sumo...i get it...its okay...it's going to be fine...just breathe.
She is losing her mind. She couldn't be pregnant. That can not happen. She dont show any othet symptoms. But she did feel more lethargic. But that could also be the workload. And how much she had wanted him in the past few days was new too. Was she? No. But what if? What will she tell everyone. She couldnt breathe. Her throat was closing up.
She started to hyperventilate and shravan grabbed her some water. She drank it. He rub her back, trying to calm her down.
Sumo: nahi...i'm probably over reacting...
Shravan: yeah you are...
Sumo looks at him: seriously? You think i'm over reacting?! Dont you think this could be a big deal shravan malhotra?!
She stood up, looking at him intently.
He was tongue tied. What is wrong with her?!
Shravan: look sumo! Mera woh matlab nahi tha mai bas-
Sumo: you dont get it! Agar mai sach mei pregnant hui toh qayamat aajayegi shravan! Naanu kya kahenge? Maamiji maardalengi mujhe!
Shravan: kuch nahi hoga sumo! Mai hoon tumhare saath-
Sumo: tumhare family wale kya sonchenge mere baare mei? Kaise moo dikhaungi mai---
Shravan: SHUT UP SUMO!! JUST SHUT UP!! he bellowed loudly making her stop.
She looked at him eyes wide still in shock and fear of the possibilities. He grabs her by the shoulders and makes her look at him..
Shravan: dekho meri taraf...mai hoon tumhare saath...mai kahin nahi jaane wala...kaha tha na mai ne tumse...it's not true yet, We could be completely wrong!...stop panicking! Kuch nahi hoga...!
She calms down and hugs him.
Sumo: aur kuch hogaya toh?
He stays quiet and responds after a few seconds.
Shravan: hum bhaag kar shaadi karlenge.
She looks up at his statement.
Sumo: bhaag kar shaadi? Kyun? Normal kyun nahi?
Shravan: okay normal hi sahi...
Sumo: is this you hopelessly proposing marriage to me?
Shravan: i'm.not hopeless. I'm actually hoping you'll want to marry me some day
He goes a bit worried now. He had no idea where all of this was coming from. But it seemed right. Hope she wants it too. Did he do this too early?
Sumo: are you serious? Mai bohot confused hoon...are you saying this just because i missed my period and i might be pregnant or do you really mean it?
Shravan: tum abhi mujhe confuse kar rahi ho!
Sumo: shravan...?
Shravan: sumo...?
Sumo: tum ek number ke pagal ho! She whacks his arm.
Shravan: tum jaisi pagal ladhki se pyaar karunga toh kuch asar hona hai na!
She tries hard to hold her smile in but she cant. She launches herself on him in a hug.
The doorbell rings and she goes to see it as shravan answers a call.
She opened the main door to see Kamini chachi standing at the door with a box. Her eyes go wide as panic srikes her. Oh f**k.
"Hello suman puttar!" Says kamini with a smile.
"Namaste chachiji" she says faking a smile absolute dread filling her. And on that very moment, shravan decided to yell "kaun hai sumo? And stops dead in his tracks as he sees kamini chachi at the door.
Kamini felt victorious! "Arre shravan puttar bhi yahan hai!"
Shravan: chachi aap yahan?
Kamini: haan tiwari ji aur manju ji se mil kar badhe din higaye the toh soncha mil aaoon!
Sumo: aunty actually ghar ke sab log yatra par gaye hue hain 2 din ke baad aayenge...
Kamini: ohhh achhaa...par shravan puttar tu yahan kya kar raha hai? Tu toh raat bhar ghar bhi nahi aaya! Abhi tak kal raat ke.kapdo mei hain!
Both of shravan and sumo look at each other in horror.
Shravan: haan chachi woh kal hum sab drunk ki thi toh mai apne dost ke ghar hi rukgaya...bunty ke ghar...mujhe subah nanaji se kich kaam tha toh mai yahan asya tha par sumo ne bataya ki woh gaye hue hain...
Kamini's insides leap with joy as her suspicions are confirmed. There was definitely a lot cooking between these two.
Kamini: achha toh mai chslti joon..kabhi aur ajaungi...chal shravan puttar! Ghar chalke fresh hojana haan!
Shravan looks at sumo then grabs his jacket from the living room amd leaves with kamini.
He turns around to look at her once and shrugs.
xxx
Shravan paced in his cabin as pushkar sat in his chair. He had managed to console Sumo about the pregnancy scare but the thpught scared him now. He was probably overreacting too! What was the possibility? Had she shown any other symptoms? No, right? Was he sure? Ohgod. Come on. But what if? Sumo pregmant with his child! Was he ready for that?! Was he ready for more responsibility?! But surely this was all just a misunderstanding.
Shravan: chhote?
Pushkar: hmm?
Shravan: tujhe pregnancy ke symptoms oata hai?
Pushkar is taken aback by this random question.
Pushkar: aap kyun pooch rahe ho?
Shravan: nahi woh ek case hai...ek client ke liye pooch raha tha...
Pushkar shrugs and answers: i dont too much but i know food patterns change hote hain, sex drive increase hojati hai, lethargy, morning sickness ...i guess...
Shravan: okay!...
He gets lost in thought. Sumo dint show any of these signs. Bit she did seem more tired. He had assured sumo that it'll be alright. But will it? Was he supposed to marry her just because she could be pregnant?! He still paces, a bit worried and looks up only when he sees the door to his cabin open. But before he registers what's happening, sumo flies into his arms, throwing herself at her with all her force. He staggers but holds her.
Sumo had not a worry in the world. Her relief was beyond comoare and she wanted to share it with him. She opens the door to see him standing in fron tof her so she just launches herself at him, hugging him with all her might.
"I just got my period! She says with a sigh. "OH! thankGOD!" he replies, hugging her tighter. "I have NEVER in my life been so happy about cramps!" She says her voice muffled in his hair.
"I cant tell you how relieved i am and i dont have to go through it!" He sighs.
"Errr...guys..." pushkar says hesitantly. He was reading through a case on shravan's computer and talking to him when out of nowhere sumo was there!
Sumo hadn't realized pushkar was in the room too and shravan had completely forgotten. They sprung apart immediately on hearing his voice and stood to face him.
"Tu yahan kya kar raha hai?" Sumo asks demandingly, acting smug to hide embarassment.
Pushkar was downright offended now. "Mai yahan kya kar raha hoon? Raat ke saadhe gyara baje hain. Ye mera office hai! Tu yahan kya kar rahi hai?" He asks. Shravan and suman just look at each other, trying to make excuses. And then pushkar's brain clicks. His mind recalls the words they were saying. And his eyes scrunch as he tries to put the oieces together.
Shravan and sumo look at each other trying to find an excuse and hoping pushkar didnt hear them. But the reaction on his face is evident. He figured it out. He's a lawyer after all!
"YOU TWO HOOKED UP!" Pushkar says with sudden incredibility, everything making sense now.
The two in question went pink.
"AND WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR---- YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!" he now yells with a loud gasp , shocked beyond apprehension.
"NAI!!!!" sumo tries to say.
Pushkar is even more shocked as the realization hits him. "Oh you two are so f**ked! Ohmygod!" He says as he moves to stand in front of them and looks at them expectantly.
They look at him wide eyed and not saying anything. Pushkar looks at them and says "well do i have to ask? Or am i supposed to assume what i am assuming and assume it's the truth?"
Shravan and sumo sigh and sit on the sofa. Pushkar sits in front of them, hands folded.
Shravan: Jaisa tu sonchraha hai, waisa kuch nahi hai.
Pushkar: achha toh aap dono ke beech mei kuch nahi hai. Okay. Banao banao. Aur banao mujhe! Abhi abhi jo mai ne dekha woh sab mazaaq tha!
Sumo: tu chup chaap baith aur sun!
Shravan: arre tujhe koi nahi bana raha hai!
Pushkar (now worried): matlab sumo, tu sach mei pregnant hai? Bhaiya aap baap banne wale ho? Is hi liye aap mujhse symptoms poochrahe the!!
Sumo: arre nahi hoon mai pregnant! Abhi toh kaha mai ne i got my period! It was just a scare!
Shravan: aisa kuch nahi hai!
Pushkar: okay. Shut up. Ab mujhe batao. clearly. Ho kya raha hai aap dono ke beech mei.
Shraman look at each other and smile. Thsi was Pushkar. They had to tell him. It woukd be unfair to him.
Shravan: we're dating. We're a couple. Official.
Pushkar loosens his arms and leans in with a smile and eyes widening. He looks at the teo in front of him and his heart sighs in relief. Atlast. They looked so in love. And it was out now. No going back.he was happy for them.
Pushkar (teasingly): chhupe rustom dono! Aaannn...waise itne chhupe bhi nahi!
Sumo: par ye baat hum teeno ke siwa koi nahi janta toh apna bada sa moo bandh rakh!
Pushkar: achha theek hai. But ab details toh do! Kab? Kahan? Kaise kuch toh! The two look at him questioningly so he adds : arre izhaar e mohabbat ki baat kar raha hoon! Baaqi sab toh i guess mujhe andaza hai...tabhi mai sonchu bhaiya jaipur se aakr itne khush kyun lag rehe the!
Shravan and sumo know there's no point in chiding him. This was bound to happen.
Shravan: kuch din pehle. PCT mei. Bas simple se. Aise hi boldiya! Kuch grand karne ki zarurat hi mehsoos nahi hui!
Pushkar looked at how happy and peaceful shravan looked from the inside. It warmed his heart to see what love had done to this man who had yearned for it for years. He could see his hard edges now become softer and he smiled wider. She was no different either. She glowed next to him. He had seen them together multiple times but now, they seemed different. They seemed complete.
But he couldn't let this opportunity to tease them go!
Pushkar: waise kaafi tezz chalrahi hai aaplog ki gaadhi na?
Sumo hits him with a cushion.
He laughs and shakes his head.
Pushkar: atlast! Dono ne admit kar hi liya. Mai bata nahi sakta mai kitna khush hoon aapke liye. Aur tere liye bhi! Ab mujhe aaplog ke hopeless excuses nahi sunne padhenge!
Sumo and shravan look at each other and then at him. Sumo gets up and walks over to pushkar. He stands up in question and sumo hugs him. He was her only friend except shravan. The only one she knew would be by her side all the time atleast. Pushkar smiled and hugged her back. He had seen this girl rise from ashes and build herself again and again. If there was anyone in this world who deserved a lifetime of happiness, it was these two. Shravan joins in on their hug.
Sumo sniffles and both the boys look at her questioningly.
"Tum kabse itni senti hogayi?!" Shravan asks her, confused with her behaviour.
"PMS bhaiya...ab aapko hi deal karna hai isse!" Pushkar retorts. Sumo slaps his arm.
It gets too late so the 3 of them head out fo the office. Shravan and sumo head towards his car and pushkar looks at them and realizes.
Pushkar: ofcourse. Kal raat bhi aap tiwari killa mei hi the honge...jaiye jaiye...be nice! No more scares please!
Sumo: mai maardalungi tujhe ek aur baar kuch kaha toh!
He laughs and walks towards the house as the 2 leave.
