It was 3 am and Shravan was tossing turning in his bed...sleep was last thing in his mind...he had to clear his head with all the crap that this last night had generated in his head...his parents were not divorced at least that what it seemed and her profile was updated as of 30 June 2016...so wasn't even an old one..he thot as he had gone to UK just after this his parents split.. he was oblivious to what happened after that..and he never tried to find out...he felt like an idiot..
The more he thought the list of questions became bigger with no answers to them
Why did the divorce dint happen?
After all his mother wanted to marry her boss and that's why she left them..so why?
Why she dint marry him?
Nothing was confirmed as of now but confusion was reeling his head..
how did his dad know that he had gone there to Tiwari Killa on Nirmala fiasco day.. He was going to the airport..no one knew he was going to visit Sumo to ...the more he thought the more he got entangled in the mess... did Sumo call dad there..but why will she..
who told Sumo about PCT demolishing being unintentional...in his haste and happiness of all the love he hadnt even asked her... OK...Pushkar .he thought...but why he dint mention it to me..
He had almost made up his mind to speak to Ramnath about what all he heard yesterday and the PCT demolishan..
But suddenly the day of Nirmala fiasco struck in his mind ...how his dad had misunderstood him..and how hurt he was...he dismissed the thought ...no directly talking was ruled out...he didn't want hurt his dad one more time..but he needed to clear his head with the mess so he had to find out ..if there was anything more than what met the eye...or was it only his doubt...he had to do this alone as... involving anyone might lead to a bigger mess he thought...and closed his eyes again .
His head still reeling with all these thoughts he fell asleep on his work table..
He got up about an hour later with a splitting headache...it was 6 am..
His phone was filled with lovey dovey mesg from Sumo...he smiled..replied to her mesgs ..
He then called her he needed to hear her voice a respite from this mess..and she answered almost immediately..he heard her say..
Arey Maine itne saare pyar bharemesgs bheje and u sent me love u that's all..arey kuch ache mushy se mesg bhejte..kahi Maine galat aadmi se tho pyar nahi kar liya..
She heard him say in an extremely tired but loving voice ab koi chance nahi hai waapis sochne ka now u r stuck with me for life...she smiled so heard he could almost hear her smile..
She asked bahut thake hue sound kar rahe ...raat bhar khushi ke maare naach rahe the kya...
He said nahi woh ...he paused...ek case mein uljha hoon kaafi tough hai..isliye bus..he hated lying to her but he himself wasn't sure so..what wud he tell her..
Breaking what was she was saying..in bw he asked her who told u about the PCT fiasco being unintentional...she was quite for sometime but then she said waise jisne bataya usne mana kiya tha batane ke liye..but I don't want any secrets between us...chachiji...
Shravan was confused.. yesterday she was with papa nodding her head in agreement of all that he said and b4 that she cleared this PCT mu to sumo..why..another question..
Shravan put his thought to rest and asked how is Preeti...and Sumo said..not fine..I think reactions going hey wire coz of the shock.. probably if we give sometime to ppl to settle down things wud fall in place...
Shravan thought till yesterday I would have thought on the same lines..but what happened..he dint want to tell Sumo..not now..till he had cleared his head..
After keeping down the phone Shravan thought Chachi seem to be everywhere ..when papa came to Tiwari Killa that dreadful day
The one clearing the mu..was chachi
Yesterday listening and attentively nodding to what papa was saying ...was chachi..
He had found his starting point... probably ending point too..just before the "finishing line"
He got up and after taking shower headed toward the kitchen he needed coffee..and found chachi making tea for herself...
He said Gud morning chachi..and she replied with sweetness gm puttarji..and contd...I cudnt sleep last night this preeti..tum Suman se kaho na preeti ko bolo pushkar se door rahe..she heard him say but chachi Pushkar loves Preeti... she realised she was complaining to the wrong person...she said anyway..kuch chahiye and he said yes coffee..
He dint want to have this conversation with chachi after what he had heard about she telling about Suman using preeti pusher crap...so himself ended that convo .. there was something else was in his mind..
He said chachi i want to ask u something please tell me the truth... one more thing I don't want u to mention this to Papa...Kamini was all ears as she might get another bomb to destroy ramnath Shravan relationship...
He asked without beating around the bush..
Papa aur maa ka divorce hua tha?.. Shravan felt a lil unfortable about addressing Nirmala as maa..but the fact that she declared in her profile him as her only child was making it a lil easier ...kamini was shocked initially but got elated
as this might lead her to completing her evil plans..
She asked him why do u ask now trying to act innocent and indicating that she doesn't want to tell on the contrary she was dying to tell him...
He said woh kuch padh raha tha tho..came across Nirmala Ahujas profile. He cudnt lie ...he continued...so that's why..I wanted to know..she said then u already know..u just want to confirm...she was happy..she din't have to do anything he himself was heading where she wanted to guide him..
She said " Nahi hua tha divorce..words almost piercing his ears. ..
He kept his expressions blank and asked kyon...
She said if u promise not to tell. Bhaisaab then I will tell u ...u know how touchy he is on this matter...
He said don't worry chachi I am equally or more bothered abt he being hurt so I won't tell him..
She was sure he cared fo his dad more than anything but for how along that wud remain seemed to b the question now..she almost chucked with happiness..then sobered down..
And what she said made Shravan actually doubt if she was telling the truth..
She said coz ur mom refused to give divorce to ur dad..
He almost not believing..said..she refused ..but she left us..she wanted to go with someone else why will she refuse for a divorce... it dint make sense..
Kamini said woh sab mujhe nahi pata as she dint want to land in trouble by divulging too much she knew she had given enuf food to Shravan s brain and knowing the good lawyer he was she was sure rest he will find out on his own..
Like reading shravans face of not believing her she said u can confirm with lalaji or for that matter ur own dad...her confidence shook Shravan...she couldn't have been lying so confidently...this time his gut kind of telling him that she as not lying...
To be continued...
Just sharing...I wanted to give a few cute Shraman moments in this part but keeping Shravan s state of mind and now that I have made this OS a detective series😲 ( which was not the original intention) rather than a romantic one I couldn't waiver from the plot myself..I have a very "one track mind"( no pun intended) 😉hence just stuck to this ...hope u all like it and give ur precious comments as usual..
Tick tock ...Tick tock...I am waiting for the clock to strike 10.pm...come soon Ek Duje Ke Vaaste!!
