Epilogue:
After the Aditya fiasco, Shravan proposed and Sumo agreed. She always wanted to marry Shravan, but not like this and hence she has her inhibitions. She still thinks that Shravan married her out of pity and not love. She still thinks he doesn't like her though Shravan's actions speak otherwise. Shravan on the first night of marriage itself had explained to Suman that he married her out of his free will and that he does love her and that he will never exercise his 'rights' until she herself comes up to him and accepts 'him' as 'hers'. It's been a week into the marriage.
I'm in love with Ashiq tera from Happy Bhaag Jayegi, you'll will find the song intermittently conveying Shravan's inner feelings... I insist you guys listen to the song before reading this one.
Let's get on with it...
AASHIQ TERA
Suman was back from PCT, she noticed Shravan still wasn't back from office, why would he be? He was in this forced relation, no matter what he said.. No one wanted her, isn't that what he said! Ehsaan was what this was. Ramnath uncle hated her, goes without saying Shravan did too. But then why did his actions make her feel otherwise?
Preeti entered with two steaming cups of tea to find her sister lost in deep thought. "Di?"
Suman didn't respond. "Ehm, Ehm.. DI!!"
"Haan?"
"Di, kya hua? Kya soch rahe ho?" Preeti took a seat beside Suman on the sofa.
"Nahi kuch nahi. Bas kaam ke baare mai soch rahi thi."
"Di, aap jhoot bolne ki koshish karte bhi kyun ho?" Chipped Preeti, handing Suman a cup.
"Nahi sach mai, investors ke saath deal cancel kar di hai na maine, wajhe toh tum jaanti hi ho, toh PCT ke rent ke paise aur loan ke paise kahan se aayenge yeh soch rahi thi.."
"Par Di rent? Property toh Shravan ki hai, unhe rent deneki kya zaroorat? Aur rahi baat loan ki, toh PCT acche se chal raha hai, loan aap chukka doge, aur waise bhi Shravan hai na" She beamed.
---------
Shravan was returning from work. It had been a terribly busy day. Work was starting to take a toll on him, along with the fact that Sumo treated him like he was her "Owner". He had explained to her. Told her he hadn't meant his outbursts, that it was his hurt talking. But to no avail. It had been a week into marriage and Suman treated him like she owed him her life. Heck she had thought he needed her to keep him happy in bed! How he detested his words and actions. He was falling lower in his own eyes each day and yet each day he returned home with a new hope, today Sumo would understand. What was with the constant dizzy spells these days. He sighed as he ascended the stairs leading up to his room, his, not yet theirs. He was about to push the door open when he heard Preeti say, "Shravan hai na" Now he knew that listening to someone's conversation was wrong, even if it was one involving you and your wife. But he was desperate to know the content and what Sumo thought about him. So he stayed, ears glued to the door.
---------
"Preeti, please!" Sumo said rather loudly. "Tum jaanti ho humari shaadi kin halaton mai hui hai. Shravan mujhse rent maange na maange, mai uska aur ehsaan nahi le sakti!"
Ehsaan? Is that what this is? He thought.. His hopes came crashing down again.
Ehsaan.. "Mera pyaar ehsaan nahi Sumo" He thought to himself. Taking support from the adjacent wall.
"Mainu lagdi nahi koi dava ve
Mera rabb hi hai mera gavaah ve
Hunn tu kar mera faisla ve
Jo naal tere na jiya
Toh jeeke ki karaan"
"Par Di, woh pyaar karta hai aapse"
Sumo let out a chuckle, "Karta tha"
Shravan couldn't hold back his emotions and a tear made its way down his cheek, "Sumo, aaisa kya karoon ke tumhe mere pyaar ka yakeen ho jaye? Maine 12 saal tumhara intezaar kia hai, tum saath ho, toh maut bhi aasan hai.. yeh toh phir bhi zindagi hai"
"Teri nazro ke karam
Choote hain din-o-dharam
Kiye ja tu kiye ja
Abhi kuch aur sitam"
"Di lekin.. --"
"Mujhe Shravan ke baare mai aur baat nahi karni"
Preeti bowed her head in disbelief, gathered the cups and got up to leave, "Di, pyaar ko ek mauka deke dekho, zindagi bohot haseen lagne lagegi" Saying she left. One look at Shravan's pained face and she knew he heard. She gave an apologetic smile, Shravan returned the favor and stepped into the room.
-------
He kept his laptop bag on the table and headed straight to the washroom to freshen up. Sumo may think of this as a favor but he couldn't burden her more..
He stepped out to find her looking for clothes from her bag. He stepped up, "Sumo, maine kaha hai na tumse, wardrobe mai apna samaan rakh do, I have cleared half of it for you"
"Nahi."
"Nahi? Sumo itni si baat hai, tum maan kyun nahi leti" They had this conversation everyday, for the past week, Sumo however was unrelenting.
"Tum ne kaha shadi kar lo, maine ki. Tum ne kaha tum sofa pe sona chahte ho, mere saath bed pe nahi, maine maana, tum ne kaha PCT jao, apna kaam mat chodo, toh mai PCT gayi.. Ek wardrobe na lene ka faisla toh mujhe lene do!"
Shravan stood there dumbfounded! What was this? Ehsaan tak toh bardaasht ho gaya.. Yeh sab? Tumne kaha! This sounded like he ordered her into everything.
"Nahi sambhala dil mere sambhale
Isse kar dala tere hawale
Tu mitta de ya chahe bacha le
Jaa ishq pe mere chala le apni marziyan"
He spoke with whatever little strength he could find, " Sumo, Maine tum se request ki thi ke kya tum mujh se shaadi karogi, kyunki mai pyaar karta hoon tum se, maine kaha mai sofa pe so loonga kyunki mai tumhare dil pe apna haq chahta hoon, tumhare sha...ri.. " he was ashamed to even say it, he continued dejected, "PCT tumhara sapna hai, tumhari pehchaan hai, kya yeh mai nahi jaanta. Tumhe apni phechaan khote nahi dekh sakta tha iss liye kaha ke kaam karo. Aur tum pata nahi kya samjh baithi ho. Kiraya dogi tum mujhe? Sumo mujhe meri nazron itna bhi mat girao ke mai kabhi khada hi na ho paoon."
"Rent wali baat tum kaise jaante ho! Jaasosi kar rahe ho? Aur kya kya kar rahe ho Shravan!"
Shravan felt his feet would buck from under him, he pleaded, "Sumo bas kar jao please. Samjh kya rakha hai mujhe tumne"
"Mai kya tumhe samjhoon Shravan, tum khud bhi khud ko samjh nahi sakte. Pehle kehte ho nafrat hai, mai sabse khatarnaak kisam ki aurat hoon, no one wants me."
Shravan closed his eyes as a new bout of pain started to eat him up alive.
"Phir kehte ho galti hui, maaf kar do, shadi karogi? Pyaar hai! Tum ho kya Shravan! Chahte kya ho tum?!"
A feeble, "Tumhe.." Is all he could afford to say...
"Oh please! Tumhe!" She let out a sarcastic laugh, while clapping as though this was Shravan's best performance.
He had honestly had enough, he whispered hoarsely, " Maine jo kaha tumne suna. Jo dard mai, gusse mai, taqleef mai keh diya usko pakad ke baith gayi ho tum. Jo pyaar se, rehem ki bheek maangte hua kaha woh jhoot. Chalo maan liya nahi bharosa tumhe meri kisi baat pe. Par kya tum kabhi meri aankhe padh nahi paayi? Kehti ho ke tum insaano ko padh leti ho. Mujhe nahi padh saki tum Sumo? Mera dard nahi dikha tumhe? Marr raha tha roz har pal, mar raha hoon! Par tumhe yeh nahi dikhta.. poochti ho na tum, kya hoon mai? Mai kuch nahi hoon Sumo, sirf tumhari parchaayi hoon. Tum nahi toh Shravan kuch nahi."
"Oh sarhado ko na hoga gawara
Ki mille dil se dil koi awara
Main parinda hu tu hai sitara
Main apna aasman chunu tu apna aasman"
He continued, "Nahi matlab mujhe duniya se. Yeh shaan yeh rutba koi kaam ka nahi. Haar raha hoon mai Sumo, kyun nahi dikhta tumhe. Har roz ladta hoon khud se. Har roz haar jata hoon. Nahi bardasht mujhe tumhari ruswai.. Marr jaoonga Sumo, kasam hai, marr jaaonga.."
"Dil ke aage ye aafat badi hai
Khwaishyein phir bhi zid pe adi hai
Hum se mayus hoga zamaana
Par zamane ki kisko padi hai"
Sumo felt pangs of hurt. Her heart was sinking. Had she been so blind? So oblivious to his pain? She knew he loved her, why did she choose not to believe him. "Shr..va.."
Shravan felt his world spin, he didn't know what happened, but he couldn't stand on his feet anymore.
"Shravan!!"
He fell on the bed with a thud. Sumo ran towards him. "Shravan? Shravan kya hua tumhe" She pats his cheeks only to realize he was burning with fever. Panic set in. "Shravan! Utho please! I'm sorry.. Mai.. pata nahi kyun.. please utho Shravan.." He didn't budge. Fear crept up her being. "Pushkar! Preeti! Koi doctor ko phone karo!" "Shravan!! Please!!"
------------
The doctor was rushed in, he checked Shravan, took a blood sample too. He asked, "Has he been under any kind of stress?"
No one knew what to say, the doctor understood. "His BP is very low, doesn't look like he's been getting any sleep, neither has he been eating properly. When was last he ate?" Another question unanswered.
"He's terribly weak. I'll put him on glucose and give him an injection for the fever too. I have taken a sample of blood, will have it tested and let you'll know. Although I suspect no illness, to me it looks psychological. Please take care of him and if the fever doesn't reduce or his condition deteriorates, call me. I'll take your leave now." Pushkar left to leave the doctor till his car. The rest of the family told Suman to take care of Shravan and that if anything she should call them. Preeti was the last one to leave but not before telling Suman, "Di, Your husband needs you. Take care of him."
---------------
Sumo was beyond guilty now. All his words rang in her ears, more so his "Marr jaaonga, kasam hai marr jaoonga" Sumo shivered. No! Nothing could happen to him. She would die if anything happened to him. She had been blessed to be married to her childhood love but she was so blind to see it.. She would bring him back. She had to.
She cupped his face between her hands, "Shravan, utho na. Mai bol rahi hoon utho! Mai apne Sumo avtar mai aa gayi na toh pachtaoge tum!" His eyes moved a bit but it went unnoticed by her.
She threw herself across his torso and wept, repeating herself over and over again.
Shravan had awoken and was awash with happiness hearing her declarations. With all his strength, he hugged her back. Suman got up with a jerk.
"Shravan!"
"Hmm.."
She whacked his arm hard. "Ahh"
"You deserve it! Harkaten hi aaisi hai tumhari!"
"Ab kya kar diya maine" he said, tired.
"Kya kar diya! Jaan nikal di meri aur poochte ho kya kar diya!"
Shravan smiled his blushed out happy smile.
"Has rahe ho! Hassi aa rahi hai!"
"Hosh baaton ka aksar nahi tha
Dil hamara toh shayar nahi tha
Tune likh di yeh taqdeer warna
Ishq wala muqaddar nahi tha"
She whacked him again. "Ahh Sumo lag raha hai!"
"Haan toh lagne ke liye hi maara tha, muft mai energy waste nahi kar rahi thi mai!"
Shravan just kept on smiling. Sumo was back! HIS Sumo was back!
Sumo couldn't help but wonder, what had she done to be blessed with this, THIS crazy cute husband of her's.
"Shravan..."
"Haan?"
She bent down to kiss his forehead and he closed his eyes in anticipation. The contact of her lips against his head felt like all his woes were disappearing into thin air. He sighed in bliss. "I love you" she whispered against his hair, a tear made its way down his cheek and unlike earlier in the evening he didn't bother hiding it from her..
"Shravan, shh... I'm sorry please don't..."
Fresh tears made their way down his face, she wept seeing him so. Was this how pained he was? "Su.. Sumo ... *sob* mai... "
"Kuch mat kaho Shravan, Mai jaanti hoon, tumhara pyaar hai hi itna gehra ke chah kar bhi mai ignore nahi kar payi..."
She kissed away his tears, he kissed away hers. Then night went on with silent proclamations, occasional sighs and immense cuddling.
They didn't know what tomorrow held and it didn't matter.
Their love was their promise...
Their love was their semblance...
Their love was their life...
Kehte hai pyaar saath ho toh maut bhi aasan ho jaati hai, yeh toh phir bhi zindagi hai...
"Aashiq..
Tera tera tera tera tera tera
Tera tera tera tera tera
Hua haan.."
