Dear friends,
Here is a really short OS inspired by today's precap. I know the title is bad but couldn't think of anything else. All opinions welcome.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shravan tossed and turned in his bed. He couldn't pretend to sleep any longer.It had been another sleepless night, each word Sumo said had been ringing in his ears. How dare she take that tone with him ! But Shravan couldn't hold himself back. Whatever she may say, she was his Sumo, he would take offence but not give up on her.He wanted to go to Tiwari Killa, to check on Naanu.It was quite early though. He showered and quickly dressed.Even Delhi seemed calm in the mornings.
"Remember Shravan" he told himself.
"Whatever she says don't take the bait. Just stay calm, thats the best way to deal with this."
Sumo tossed and turned in her bed as well. But she was physically too tired and she gave in. Anyway PCT was being taken care of, the wedding arrangements were almost done, she had hurt Shravan like hell, she knew, and she regretted each word she had said. Naanu needs me, I should rest so that I can take care of him when he is awake, she thought and slept.
But Shravan would not leave her alone like that, even in her dreams. Her subconsious was repeating the events of last Friday for her, when she was asleep and Shravan was in the car. How scared she had been ! What would have happened if something had gone wrong ? God forbid. In his arms, she had found peace, a feeling that she had longed for. Her mind started playing a trick.This is the perfect opportunity Sumo, tell him now, she heard a voice from inside. And as she fought the voice, she saw a car coming towards them."Quick" said the voice, "say it now !"
Shravan parked his car right outside Tiwari killa. No one was awake. He tried the secret knock, but Sumo must be sleeping too, he thought. Just then he gave the door a small nudge and it opened. They had forgotten to lock it at night. It was probably Sumo's work, but she must have been busy with Naanu.
Shravan quietly walked upstairs and opened the door. His eyes fell on Sumo, asleep on the floor. He walked upto her as if it was the most natural thing to do and bent one knee and looked at her. This was his Sumo. All he wanted was for her to accept him and not treat him like an outsider.
"Pyaari lag rahi ho Sumo, itni pyaari, jab jagi hui hoti ho to itni alag kyon ho jaati ho. Main tumhe woh baat batana chahto hoon, jo shayad tum mujhe kabhi nahi bolne dogi agar tum jagi ho"
"I love you Sumo" he said softly, just so that her ears could hear it atleast while she was asleep.
Sumo in return muttered "I love you Shravan, tum kab samjoge ?"
The Sumo in her dreams had decided it was time she told Shravan what mattered the most. The voice won.
Shravan smiled,is this why she was behaving like this ? Pagal ladki hai yeh !
"Yeh kaisi ladki se pyaar kar baita main" he thought. A day couldn't be more perfect. But she had to know, just like he knew.
He went to Naanu's desk and took a red felt pen from there. He bent down next to her and took her hand out of the blanket. Slowly he wrote "hravan" next to the "S". She turned again, but he gently patted her head and she went back to her dreams. Who would dare to question her now !
Shravan checked on Naanu. He seemed to be sleeping quite well. He then walked away from there, knowing the truth that had evaded him so long. He closed the door of Tiwari killa behind him, no one would know he had been here this morning, no one except Sumo of course ! It was their secret , the most beautiful one in the entire universe.
