Hello all. So what's up? Time for a new chapter. But before that, I should thank you all. I couldn't decipher that you people would love this tedha Shravan so much! I thought some of you might give me gali, as I ruined the character of Shravan. But little did I imagine that it would be the most liked chapter of this ff. Thank you so much for that.
So our ShraMan are married now. Now how they will behave! What's there in their destiny. .let's see. This one is also Suman's POV.
And yes you people must be wanting Shravan's POV. But not now! You will have it.. But later.
This chapter is for Deepti (Deltadawn) how could you end Hide and Seek! Arghhh!
Chapter 20
"I am sorry Sumo...really I am, but you left me with no choice... I had to.. " his tears said more than what he uttered.
He had always done this. When I was ready to be with him he pushed me away; now that I was going away, he was not ready to leave me! I sighed and nodded.. ."May be I was destined to it.. ."
"You can talk to yourself later on.. Now can we go.. We need to sort out things first. " I should stop talking to myself when I think, now that Mr Shravan Malhotra would going to be by my side all the time.
"What work? "
"Suman, you need to collect your clothes and other important things from your ex-fiancee's house. It's not that I can't buy you new clothes, but we don't have enough time. We have to leave for Mumbai soon. "
"I have to go to Aditya's house... " I mumbled.
"You have to.." then he came near me and said softly "Don't worry I'll be with you. "
"It's okay Shravan, you don't need to..." It wouldn't be a intrigued idea of Adi and Shravan, being in the same room, at least not now.
"I am not asking Suman, I am informing you, okay!" He took my hand into his, again and pulled.
"How could you Sumo, how could you... Myjhe pehele hi samajh lena chahiye tha... You just forgot everything.. Right! The way he insulted you infront of everyone, those words...you just forgot every damn thing...tera ghar bachana sirf ek natak hai... " Adi's voice was quivering because of anger.
"Adi mein..." and I looked at Shravan! He was looking at Adi with a small smile, as if he was doing some stand up comedy, unbelievable!
"Adi mein.. I am really sorry.. I know ke..."
"You don't know anything Sumo.."
Suddenly he leaped towards me only to be collided with a wall... Shravan. . Within a blink he was standing in front of me, covering me from the glare of Aditya.
"Don't even you dare..." Shravan growled.
"Shravan... Please.. ." I put my hand on his upper arm.. ."Adi main yahan sirf apna saman lene ayi hoon...I know ki tujhe bura lag raha hai.. Par.. ."
"It's okay Suman...we can understand.. " said Aditya's papa, who was sitting silently by far.
"Abhi shaadi ho gayi hai... Aur kuch kehni ki zarrorat nahin.. .But Shravan.. Beta.. Yeh tumhe bahut mehengi padegi.. "
"Koi baat nahin uncle, Shravan Malhotra ko shasti cheezon ki sokh bhi nahin hai... " he smiled.
I never really liked Aditya or his father, but his mother was a gem. She was crying only.. Fidgeting with her anchal.. "Aunty..."
She just looked at me and nodded.
We boarded our flight to Mumbai. Pushkar came to meet us in the airport. He even tried to make some joke... Like that he would call me bhabi or Sumo bhabhi.. .I didn't really pay attention to.
I was thinking hard, now that I was married, I had to live with Shravan, that too with in his house, in his room. But somehow the idea of me being in his room and his house made me a bit agitated; not that I hadn't been there, I had, even on his bed.. .but the situation was different then, and Shravan too. Now Shravan had become the whole of a new person, who I didn't know at all. I looked at him, he was looking outside of the car, but I could see the reflection of his face on the window glass; he was expressionless.
First we went to my house, actually nanu's. Nanu was standing on the porch. Pushkar might have told to Preety. His face was calm, but his eyes weren't. I bent to touch his feet.. "Zaroorat nahin hai... "
"Nanu... "
"Koi baat nahin Suman.. Badi ho gayi ho... Mere pair choo k kya karoge! Manjuuu" he shouted.
"Ji babuji.. ." Mami ji came there with a bag in her hand.
"Yeh lo... Ab in sabki yahan zaroorat nahin hai.. Yahan pe jitna saman reh gaya tha tumhara woh le jao.. ." she said.
"Nanuuu.. " last time I tried to talk to him.
"Ho gaya ho to chalein.. ." Shravan came there and took my bag. I looked at him, how could he be just like this! Did he actually stop caring for me.
"Mujhe aise dekhne se nanaji wapas nahin ayenge... Chalo" then he turned to mamiji... "Aur haan yeh ghar k papers.. Aap nanaji ko de dijiega... "
"Chalo Suman, ghar pe sab wait kar rahe honge.. "
Somehow it felt familiar. I smiled! After my parents' death mamaji said the same thing. So again I had become an orphan.
"Welcome beta.. ." Maa did the aarti...me and Shravan touched her feet, then papa's
"Pushkar kab ayega beta.. ." Maa asked
"Woh Mr Berry ko power of attorney handover karke ayega. Waise bhi jo kaam tha wahan woh ho gaya.. " he looked at me then to his father. So papa knew and why it wasn't a surprise.
Everything was fine until the time to sleep. I dragged myself to Shravan's room. How I wished to be in his room, to be with him few months back. But right now I was feeling like to cry, to shout, to mop around. ..
I opened the door. The next thing I saw was Shravan with my suitcase, he was placing my clothes into one of his cupboards.
"What are you doing!" I almost jumped towards my suitcase.
"Tumhe kya lagta hai kya kar raha hoon main.. "
"Itni manners bhi nahin hai... Ladki ki bag nahin kholte... "
"You are my wife.. .yeh mat bhulna... Aur main sirf help kar raha tha.. .tumhe pasand nahin aya to sorry... " then he grabbed all my clothes which he placed in his cupboard and started throwing them all over room.
"Shravan.. ..kya kar rahe ho..." this was it..."Tum apne aap ko samajhte kya ho haan! Kuch bhi karoge...kuch bhi... "
"Kya kiya maine... " he asked nonchalantly.
"Kya kiya... Shravan... Aaj tumhari wajah se main apni nanu se nazrein nahin mila paa rahi thi... Aditya aur uske family ka kitna badnam hua...tumhe kuch fark nahin padta na usse... "
"Nahin... Aur ab bhi tumhe Aditya aur nana ji ki parwa hai.. " his voice was now an octave higher.
"Aditya ki nahin hai.. .but uncle aur aunty ki hai... Aur nanu.. He loves me... He cares for me... Tooo kyun na sochun... " I yelled between my sobs.
"Really... Aditya jo khud dhoke se shaadi kar raha tha tumse... Aur nanaji madad bhi kar rahein the. "
"Aditya ne jo kiya usme nanu ka kya kasoor! "
"Suman, kya nanaji ne tumse kaha tha ki main aur Pushkar tumhe wahan dhoondne aye the?"
He questioned.
"Tum wahan aye the... " now it was my turn to be shocked.
"Haan... Aur mujhe tabhi pata chal gaya tha unko pata hai ki tum kahan ho... Suman nanaji ne tumhe sirf use kiya hai... Agar woh tumse sach mein pyaar karte to tumse yeh baat nahin chupate. Unhe bass apni aur apne upar kya gaya ehsan yaad tha... Tum nahin... "
I sat on the bed, whatever he was saying logically it was sounding true! But nanu that too with me...
"So jao... " he was picking up my clothes from the floor... "Main thik se rakh doonga... "
"Main kahan soungi.. ." I brushed my tears away.
"Kahan matlab.. .insan kahan sota hai.. ."
"Myjhe. Tumhare sath nahin sona... "
"Tum mere bed pe pehele bhi so chuki ho.. Aur woh bhi mere sath.." he was truly annoyed this time.
"Tab ki baat aur thi.. ."
"Kyun ab kya mujhe resist nahin kar paoge! " he smirked and took a step forward.
"Shravan... " I got up from the bed..."Kya kar rahe ho... "
"Kyun technically tonight is our Suhaagraat right... " he put his arms around my waist and pulled me almost dashing me into him.
"Shravannm" a chill ran down my spine..
"Sumoo" I closed my eyes... It felt so right to hear Sumo from his lips, which were inches away from mine..
"Tum chaho to couch pe so jao... "
That was it. I opened my eyes, and what I saw.. It almost lit fire in me... He was smiling at me mockingly! "Kyun main kyun sou couch pe... Tum souge... " I pushed him with all my force.
"Room mera hai... Mai couch pe nahin sounga.. And look at my height Suman, I won't even fit in that" so he was back to Suman.
"Mujhe nahin pata...that's your problem. Shaadi karne ko kaun bola tha... "
Something flickered in his eyes, he looked at me for a whole minute then sighed heavily.." Tum nahin samjhogi... Maine bahut sari ghalatiyan ki hai Suman, and I am sorry for that... But tum kisi aur ke sath... Main...I can't share you with anyone ...I... Chodo tum bed pe so jao.. Main couch pe manage kar loonga.. "
"Nahin it's okay tum yehin so jao... This bed is big enough for both of us! " he again looked at me, but this time he had again moved into his previous no-expression-at-all mode.
It was almost 1 in the night ..a sharp, loud crack sound broke into my ears, and I woke up with a jolt. I looked at Shravan he was sleeping like a over grown child!
Again a loud thud.
Then I realised, it was raining outside, and the sound that woke me up was nothing but a thunder. And a window of the room might have opened because of the storm.
"Shravan... Shravannn" I shook his shoulder.
"Hmmm" he didn't even open his eyes.
"Shravannn"
"Mmm kya hai Sumo sone dona.. .." at least he wasn't angry with me while sleeping.
"Shravan woh khidki khuli hui hai... Band kar dona... Shravannn... "
"Kya Sumo tum kardona... " he mumbled.
"Shravan mujhe dar lagta hai... I am scared of thunder... Shravannn" oh god! Now what would I do... "Hathi ghore gadhe sab kuch bech k so eaha hai yeh... Paas laite laite agar mar bhi gayi to bhi nahin uthega yeh! Hmpphhh! Bada pyaar karta hai... Nonsense!" I muttered under my breath! "Shravannn" one more time I shook his shoulder.
This time he got up... "Kya yaar Sumoo bachchi ho kya..." he got down from the bed and closed the window.
"Mujhe darr lagta hai.. To main kya karoon! "
"Haan... " he mumbled something unintelligible and walked towards bathroom like a zombie.
I was still sitting when he came back.. "baithi kyun ho... Aabto khidki bhi band kar di hai.. So jao.. "
"Mujhe aise neend nahin aati... Itne zorse awaz aa rahi hai... Par tum so jao mujhe tumhari koi zaroorat nahin hai... "
"Haan dekha maine.. ...good night... "
I laid on my bed, closed my eyes, hoping for sleep to come. After some time I might have been drifted into slumber but I could still hear the storm and thunder outside.
But slowly that converted into a soothing melodious rhythmic sound,...Dib-Dub-Dib-Dub...
A soft touch on my hair, and warm soft tickling breeze...and a light pressure on my waist... I snuggled into that rhythm and dozed off peacefully forgetting all the pain, all the sorrow, all the fear, It was only me and that sound... Dib-Dub-Dib-Dub.
I roused from my tranquility with that sound...such a peaceful sound.. I smiled... And with that sound; was accompanying a smell, a very familiar smell...I nestled more into that smell...then I felt a soft pillowy touch on my forehead, that trailed down to my eyes, my cheeks...my lips parted with anticipation...wait what was happening...my eyes flew open and I saw him.. .his face was inches from mine, his piercing eyes...I pushed ..."Kya kar rahe ho.. ."
"Main..." he was clearly embarrassed.
"Kya main Shravan... Fayda utha rahe the mera... "
He looked hurt.. "Main tumhara fayda... " he whispered and sprang out of the bed.
This is it. Though it didn't come out as I wanted to be. It was more a regular type. I am not good in writing soft love scenes so please bear with me. Har chapter mein to bomb blast nahin ho sakta! Hope you people will like it!
P. S Don't forget to comment or message... Will be waiting to hear you all. Sorry couldn't reply to you all as I was busy with my studies and exams. But those means a lot, trust me.
P. S. S. Of course excuse the typos.
