Today's episode was mind blowing!!
Let's get to it, shall we!
Sirf tumhara - Sirf tumhari
"Chalo, tum bhi jagha dekh lo, mai chahti hoon sab ladke walon ki marzi se ho"
The thorns in her diction where not overlooked by shravan. He was getting used to the hurt. The constant taunts and the pain he felt each time she avoided him. He just wanted to shake the reason out of her, but refrained, his promise to himself didn't allow him to.
"Chalo" He silently followed her. He unlocked his car to which sumo curtly said, "We are going to see a hall I have selected, we will go in my car!"
Shravan didn't want to hear another mouthful so he simply agreed, locked his car, and quietly got into the passenger side of her's.
The ride was deathly silent. Shravan stole a few glances towards her, a few times he opened his mouth to reason with her but words never came.
They reached their destination, if there was one thing Shravan knew, this was no 5 star, heck this was no 2 star. Chachi would slay them all.. This hall simply couldn't be the venue.
"Chalo, yahin baithe rahoge"
Without an argument he stepped out of the car and followed Sumo into the hall.
----------------He looked around the place and felt a little uncomfortable.
The place was big,but dirt covered it all.
There were green algae near the lake that surrounded the place and it had crawled up the walls too.
Paint was coming of and broken pieces and garbage was kept shabbily in a corner.
He stopped at his place,taking in the surroundings,disappointment written on his face.
Suman saw him and said"Shravan chaloo! After all Kamini chachi ke sabse hone ke liye tumhara approval zaroori hai na."
Shravan sighed and they went inside!
----------------
He reluctantly went inside. The interior was no better than what he saw outside. The chandelier was covered with cobwebs. The place looked as if it had been closed for years.
"Sumo are you out of your mind. Hum yaha sangeet karayenge?? " He said in a furious tone.
"Kyun kya kharabi hai is jagah me?? "She snapped
"Kharabi jagah me nahi tumhare dimag me hai. Hum yaha function nhi kara rhe hain and thats final. Ise chaho to tum ladke walon ki zid samjh lo." He said with a finality .
He had enough of her stubborn attitude. If wants she him to be rude then let it be.
"Ab chalo yaha se hum dusre hotel chal rhe hain. And i wont take a no." He said and dragged her holding hands.
A 5 star hotel was booked for the sangeet. Kamini chachi was very happy.

-------------------
Shravan has arrived home and was sitting in his room when pushkar came inside his room and sit on the couch.
pushkar looked at shravan and asked " kya hua bhaiya aap itne gusse mein kyu ho"
"sumo ki wajah se " shravan replied in his angry voice leaning some towards pushkar.
Shravan continued saying "usse aisa kyu lagta hai ki sab kuch uski marzi ke hisaab se hoga, chachi ne 5 star hotel ke liye kaha tha ki sangeet 5 star hotel mein hoga par sumo ne toh ..."
Shravan stopped in mid sentence supressing his anger that was coming out through his words... And bowed his head down signing and heaving a calm breath to stop himself.
" par bhaiya..." pushkar tried to say
" nahi chote, har baar sumo ki marzi nhi chalegi, main bhi dekhta hu sangeet uske decide kiye hue hotel mein kaise hota hai" shravan said with authority in his voice cutting pushkar's sentence in between .
Next day.,
tiwari family and malhotra family gets together for sangeet rehearsals.
Kamini to shravan : dekh liyo shravan , iss bari koi bhi galti nhi honi chahiye, maine bardaasht ni karna ib ki baari..
"koi gadbad ni hogi chachi, aap tension na lo" shravan said smilingly convincing chachi .
"dekhte hai phir." chachi said not so convinced with shravan.
Everyone is rehearsing for the sangeet ceremony., pushkar with preeti, mama ji with mamiji, lalaji with kamini..
While rehearsing , kamini saw shraman and suman sitting alone in different corner of the hall looking at pushkar and preeti rehearsing. Kamini thought and said evilily in mind " yeh dono itte dur ache ni lag rahe bethe hue , bhaisaab aapne mere pushkar ka istemaal kiya apne puttar shravan ko uss suman se dur rakhne ke liye., ab main bhi dekhti hu ki yeh dono shravan aur suman ek dusre se kaise alag rehte hai..maine bhi aapke armaan ko pura ni hone dena"
thinking so..kamini said to lalaji "ek mint ( minute) ji , main avi aayi"
kamini takes a centre place in the hall and says " suno ji suno "
everyone diverted their attention towards kamini leaving their respective rehearsals in amid,shravan and sumo also.
kamin says "hum sab itni taiyaari shyaari kar rhe hai sangeet ke liye., par jin do logon ne iss shadi ka hona poasible kiya wo dono toh kuch kar hi ni rahe "
Everyone looks on confused at kamini ., and shravan and suman looks at each other confused as them. Kamini notices all their confused faces and says " le., ni samjh aayi.. Oh ho. Arre bhai apne sharvan aur suman ,,inn dono ki wajah se hi toh yeh shadi ho ri hegi aur yeh dono hi kuch ni kar re. .e koi gal hui. ,he.."
Shravan and sumo looks at each other understanding the situation.
Kamini says " inn dono ko bhi dance karna padega sangeet mein. Aur wo bhi ek saath. Aakir bachpan ke dost hai bhai "
everyone is happy except ramnath.
Ramnath was so irked by her announcement and wanted to say something but could not because nanu said " yeh baat bilkul sahi kahi kamini ne"
Kamini says with a big smile in her face😃 " e changa hai ji., chalo bai shravan aur sumo , tum dono uss peeche wale bade kamre mein jakar rehearsal kar lo kyunki yaha pe toh jagah hai ni,thik hai..toh chalo phir jao...jao bhai. Kiska intezar kar rhe ho "
shravan and suman looks at each other...full of hesitation but they don't have another option as its family's wish.
Sumo looks at ramnath for a second out of worry but walks away towards the room when shravan told her "chale" slowly. And suman agreed by a nod..
Ramanth just looks on their retreating figure with an angry look on his face failed to do something to stop them.🤣
Suman was fearful. Wasn't it enough that he surrounded her almost everywhere these days and now she had to dance with him. Why wasn't Ramnath Uncle doing anything?
She stealthily glanced towards the door, hoping to be interrupted when she was unexpectedly yanked against his hard chest. His hand snaked around her waist, waiting for her to grab his shoulders.
She had to break this. There was no way she could look into those brooding eyes; she couldn't risk getting swamped away in the heady sensation of being in his arms.
"Kya kar rahe ho Shravan? Tum bohot tall ho. Our height difference won't allow us to do this smoothly." , she said pushing him slightly and looking everywhere but him.
She had just begun to turn away when he caught her elbow and again hauled her up against him.
"Do what smoothly?" he whispered as she grabbed his shoulders, not wanting to risk a fall as he dipped her.
They twirled around, mostly Shravan gliding Sumo as she tightly held him; their rhythm matching the beats. Sumo avoided his eyes, looking at him would certainly be a mistake.
He couldn't take it anymore.
He thumped her against the wall, zeroing in on her.
"What else do you think our height difference won't allow Sumo?", he said bending low, making sure she looked straight into his eyes.
"Wo..wo.." Sumo stuttered, the closeness was too much for her. His musky scent toying with her mind.
"Wo..wo..kya Sumo? Tell me taki hum wo sab kar ke dekh le jo tumhe lagta hai hum nahi kar sakte." his breath made hair on her face dance around.
"Shravan...hum nahi kar sakte." Of all the times, she had to loose her voice at the most critical moment! Duniya bhar se ladti hai and abhi sari Sumo-giri ko tel lene jana tha!
"Remember reunion? Tab toh bada keh rahi thi ki 'Shravan mujhe kisi aur ke sath dance nahi karna' ab kya hua, Madam?" Shravan's words were the culprit but his hands were no less, all she could feel were the tingles as he grabbed her waist to steady her.
------------------------
With her heart racing at the speed of light, she dared a glance at him. His eyes captivated her and she felt her surroundings fade out until there was nothing left but the two of them. She gingerly touched his face, feeling the soft stubble. The walls she'd so excruciatingly built around her heart started to crack. Words crashed against her shut lips, wanting to escape. Her mind replayed the deal she'd made.
This wouldn't do. She looked away and broke free of his hold, immediately missing the warmth of his touch.
Shravan had had enough of her rejection. He dig his nails into his palms to keep from hitting the wall behind her. He grabbed her by her arms and pulled her close against him until nothing separated them.
"Why are you doing this Sumo?" he couldn't keep the anger bottled in anymore.
She flinched at the tone of his voice and bit down on her lips to control the wall of tears that formed behind her eyes.
Don't break, Sumo.
"Why am I doing what? Be specific." She said, forcing coldness into her voice.
"Specific? You want me to be specific?" He let go of her and stepped away. He took a deep breath , running a frustrated hand through his hair. "Why are you ignoring me? Why are you acting like we're strangers? Is that specific enough for you?"
Suman felt a blow to her heart with every word. She didn't mean to do any of this. She wanted nothing more than to make this all better. She just didn't know how.
"Why are you hurting me, Sumo?" he whispered.
Suman had never seen him look so hurt and vulnerable.
"I don't want to hurt you, Shravan." She couldn't hold back the tear that escaped her eye.
Shravan cupped her cheeks, looking directly into her broken eyes. "Please let me help you Sumo."
And she wanted to say it all to him. But the shackles holding her just kept getting tighter.
"I don't know how to do that." She said a small voice.
This wouldn't do. She looked away and broke free of his hold, immediately missing the warmth of his touch.

-------------------
Shravan nudged her chin so that he could look into her eyes. But she kept looking anywhere but him.
"Sumo please, jab mai tumse baat kar raha hoon, meri taraf dekho"
A tear made its way down Sumo's cheek. Shravan wiped it away gently with the pad of his thumb.
"Sumo" he said. His voice an octave lower and highly gentle. "Meri taraf dekho"
The vulnerability in his voice, Sumo couldn't take any longer. She couldn't deny him, not when he was being so broken and not when he sounded like that. She looked up to his eyes and immediately regretted it. There was no going back. His eyes bore into her soul. They carried so much love! For her! Why was life so cruel!!?
"Sumo, tum bharosa karti ho na mujhe pe?"
Sumo could only nod.
"Mujhe ek mauqa do mai sab theek kar doonga. Mujhe batao kya hua hai? Kya kar diya hai maine aaisa jo tum meri shaqal tak dekhna pasand nahi karti"
Sumo was dying a million deaths seeing him so hurt. The tears started flowing with a greater intensity.
"Shh-Shh- Sumo ro mat please. Tum roti ho toh mai saans nahi le pata. Andar sab kat sa jaata hai. Meri wajhe se roti ho toh mann karta hai khud ko mita doon"
Sumo clasped her hand on his mouth. "Kabhi mat bolna aaise! Kabhi nahi! Apni zindagi ko itna sasta mat samjho Shravan. Bohot hai jo sirf iss liye jeete hai ke tumhe khush dekh sake!"
Shravan gently moved her hands away from his lips, still held her hand in his close to his cheek, "Kya unn mai tum bhi shamil ho Sumo?"
She couldn't lie to him, not right now, to hell with the deal she had. "Haan Shravan, haan. Tum jab aaise dard mai hote ho toh mujhe bhi bohot dard hota hai, tumhe dard dene ke liye. Mujhse mat poocho kyun, main nahi bata sakti, par hum saath nahi ho sakte"
Shravan kissed the plam of her hand, "Tum bhool gayi sumo, asaan cheezon ka waise bhi mujhe koi shauq nahi hai" He smiled.
Sumo looked at him crossed.
"Sumo, tum mai - hum - hum hamesha se saath the. Kabhi ek doosre ko batane ki zaroorat nahi padi ke hum ek doosre ke liye kya hai. Pyaar shayad ek chota shabd hai yeh batane ke liye ke humare beech mai kya rishta hai. Toh mat nam do na isko. Tum nahi bata sakti, mat batao par yeh mat kaho ke kabhi saath nahi honge. Das saal pehle na tum ne socha tha na maine ke hum yahan, aaise ek saath honge, Kal kisi ne nahi dekha hai sumo. Apne Shravan par bharosa rakho. Humare rishte par bharosa rakho. Ek mauqa do isko, humko. Kyun ki sumo, Shravan sirf tumhara hai, sirf tumhara"
That was it. The resolve broke! She leapt into him, hugging him tight she wept. Wept at their fates. All the wile mumbling "Sumo sirf tumhari hai shravan, sirf tumhari"
-----------------------PRECAP:
