THE CASE
It was midnight around when, Suman woke up feeling the emptiness of the bed and the warmth she is used to wake up with. She opened one eye to see where her dear Hubby was. She shot up and sat on the bed when she discovered Shravan was not on the bed sleeping. She checked the time, it was 3 am. She turned on the lamp and looked around in the room to find where Shravan was..
She got down the bed hurriedly and checked the balcony whether he was there.. but he wasn't there. She tensed up. She thought he would be in Khush's room making her go back to bed as their four years old only daughter used to wake up in the midnight having crazy nightmares like her doll got stole or something at which she cries like anything. So it was possible that Shravan might be there.
She instantly got out of the room and entered Khush's room only to find it empty except Khush sleeping in her bed. Now this was weird. She hurried up and went downstairs to check the kitchen, launch, lawn, terrace and every corner of the house to find Shravan.. But all in vain.
She suddenly remembered the incident which happened two days back when Shravan discussed a very dangerous case of a very horrible criminal with his client which made her sweat with tension. She havent talk to Shravan for like 48 hours.
TWO DAYS BACK...
"Haan bolo! Kiya? Wo keh rha wo mujhe nahi chore ga agar maine case lara?" He smirked while talking on the phone with his clients. A pair of highly alert ears were listening to his chat.
"Us ko bol do wo mera kuch nahi bigaarh skta. Jo kr sakta hai karle" He smirked again. A shiver ran down the spine of Suman.
"Aray tum tension mat lo, Main sambhaal loon ga us Vikrant ko" He turned around only to find a horriffied Suman sitting on the bed staring blankly at him with tears brimming in her eyes.. threatening to fall anytime.
"Acha main tumse bad me baat krta ho" he quickly cut the call and went to Suman. He kneeled down infront of her instantly and cupped her faced.
"Kia hoa baby?" Shravan asked being beyond worried. "Shr..Shravan" she stammered and words stuck within her.
"Shravan ki jaan.. Bolo na" He wiped her tears which fell down her cheeks by now.
"Ye..Ye Vikrant Singhania ke bare me baat kr rhe the na tum who did the murder." she barely whispered. He nodded. "Shra..van wo to..bohut..khatarnaak.." she wasnt able to speak. He was confused, then the reality dawned at him. He widen his eyes when he realized that the case he was trying to hide from his wife for the past 30 days, was now opened up infront of her.
He quickly picked her up and settled her in his lap. "Sumoo.. Sumoo listen.. Dekho roona band kro! Wo kuch nahi kr skta tumhare Pati ka.. Please listen na Jaan.." but she hugged him tightly and weeped snuggled in his chest. He caressed her back to pacify her.
"Maine.. *sniff* Manaa kra tha na *sniff sniff* is case ko mat lenaa.. *sniff*" she managed to say in between her sobs. "Sshh Baby.. you know ab to 2 din me meri hearing hai last.. or phir Vikrant jail me... I can not back off now" he tried to make her understand. She suddenly looked at him in horror.
"You..hid..this..from..me..." She was stunned. She instantly tried to get out of his lap but he held her tight as if he feared that if she left.. he'll probably die.
"Hey Hey.. Dekho! Agar tumhe btata to tum mujhe ye case fight krne deti?" She nodded her head in disapproval. "See! Tum mujhe nahi krne deti, isi liye maine nhi btaya" but his devil was way angry yet afraid. "Shravan tum smjhte kion nahi ke wo kitna khatarnaak hai! Tumhe kuch ho gaya to mera or Khush ka kia hoga?" She said angrily with fresh tears flowing down her eyes.
"Sumoo.." he tried again but this time she was in no mood of listening. She raised her palm signaling him to stop saying whatever he was trying to say. She wiped her tears with the back of her hands and her body stiffen straight. Shravan was confused. She reluctantly got out of his lap and stood infront of him with a straight face.
"Shravan Fine.. You don't have any idea what I am thinking. You think i am wrong, you think i forbid you from doing your job. So fine.. Go on and Good Luck" Saying so she marched out of the bedroom. Shravan rushed behind her. "Jaan.. Baby.. Shona.. Listennn" he kept on calling but she wasnt interested in listening.
"Aree bhaiya kia hoa? Sumo itne ghusse me?" Pushkar came out of his room. Shravan looked at him helplessly. "Oh Shit no! Case?" He asked being horrifying-ly. He nodded.
Suman instantly turned back and looked at Pushkar. "Tu jaanta tha" Suman asked being shocked to her core.
"Jaan" Shravan stepped forward. "SUNLO TUM DONO! AJ SE LE KE CASE KI LAST HEARING TAK! TUM ME SE KOI MUJH SE BAAT NAHI KRE GA.. Or haan" she came forward towards Shravan and continued while marely whispering "Tum qareeb ane ki koshish bhi mat krna" which made Shravan go in a shock.
"WHATT!!??!!!" Shravan shouted in shock. But Suman ignored and continued her work going in the kitchen.
But within herself.. she was way too afraid.. What if something happens to Shravan.. she instantly called the commissioner and said to give security to her husband for the next three days but forbidded him to tell that she was the reason for this high security.
After the declaration, Shravan tried hard to talk to her but all in vain. She could do anything talk to anyone but him. When Khush came out she went straight to her Mom.
"Mumma.." here comes her bundle of happiness. She ran to her and got into her arms. Suman picked her up and Khush gave a peck on her cheek.
"Mumma ki jaan! Uth gayi ap! Chalo breakfast krwati ho ap ko" she beamed a smile at her. Khush nodded in no. "Kia hoa baby..?"
"Mumma ap papa she ghussha ho?" She asked. She was four and she never learnt how to say "S" properly.
Suman understood that she has been sent by Shravan becuase Khush was Daddy's Princess and his saviour. The bond between Father and Daughter was just something which made her heart swell with happiness whenever She watches the Father-Daughter duo playing or doing stuffs together.
"Ap ko papa ne bheja hai?" Suman narrowed her eyes. She nodded her head in positive but uttered "No Mumma" which made Suman chuckle.
"Mumma ap ke papa se baat nahi kr rhi.. or ap papa ki side nahi lo gi! Okay? Papa ki chamchi! Chalo ab or kuch nahi.. go to the breakfast table I am coming with your breakfast.." She said. Khush nodded and sighed. She was adorably the most awesome child anyone could ever think. She walked out of the kitchen and sat on the breakfast table.
Suman was looking at her from the kitchen window. She knew that anytime Shravan will be there with Khush.
And here he was. "Princess.. Kuch kaha mumma ne?" He asked hopefully to his princess. "Nahi papa mumma bohut ghussha hain" she made a sad face. Both the father and the daughter sighed and sat at the table.
After sometime Suman came at the table with Khush's Breakfast. "SEV KI SABZI" she squeeled. Suman nodded her head. This was Shravan and Khush both's favourite.
As Shravan was a late riser he used to have breakfast with his daughter after everyone had breakfast in the morning. Suman gave Shravan his breakfast and sat beside Khush ko feed her the food. Khush happily started eating her food which was being fed by her Mumma. Suddenly she stopped and looked at her papa. He was sadly eating his breakfast, khush knew how much her papa loved to eat his breakfast by mumma's hand.
Khush signaled Suman to feed him too but she glared at her so she became sad.
"Mumma Pleashe" she requested. "Khush ap apna breakfast kro.. Papa ki side lena band kro" Suman said to her little one. Shravan looked at Suman and pleaded with her eyes mouthing "Sorry" only to be ignored by her.
Khush can not see her father sad. She instantly got down from her chair and went to Shravan and told him to place her in his lap. He did so. She then made up a bite for him from his plate and fed him with her tiny hands which made Suman and Shravan both go in Awwee. She beamed her precious smile and him which made Shravan smile.
The days paced with struggle and Suman didnt talked to him as she declared before. There were manh tries but nothing worked. It was getting difficult for him as he never stayed away from his wife for the last 5 years of marriage.
THE PRESENT...
"Shravan kahan ho tum.. Kaheen Vikrant? Nahi!! Main use phone krti ho.. phone? Phone mera? Room! Room me hai" she ran up to her room and bumped into a tall figure whi held her by waist preventing her to fall on ground while she shut her eyes tightly. When she inhaled the very familiar scent of the person she shot open her eyes and stood straight.
"SHRAVAAANNN.." she threw herself in his arms and cried bitterly. She looked up at him and caressed his face. "Tum.. Tum theek ho na.. Mujhe lgaa tumhe.. wo Vikrant.. tum.. tum kaha thee.." she cried again. "Sumo Shh calm down. Main room me tha.. kab se wait kr rha tha tumhara.. tum kaha thi"
"Tum room me nahi the.. tum poore ghar me nahi the.. maine dekha.. main darr gayi thi Shravan!" She hugged him again. She was crying like anything while Shravan was patting her back to calm her down.
"Sumo poora ghar dekh lia.. Washroom check kra tha? Main washroom gaya or jab bahar aya to Tum nhi thi.. mujhe lga paani laane gyi hogi but tum to wapis hi nhi ayi to main bahar agaya" she then realized what childhishness she did.
"Acha main dekho theek ho.. ab roona bnd kro.. or chalo room me" he was about to kiss her forehead when she stepped back making him remember thwt she wasnt talking to him and she was in SUMO mode again. She entered the room and went to bed switching off the light, though she wasnt able to sleep without the warmth but she faked the act that she was sleeping. After 15 minutes she was pulled slowly by two strong arms and was embraced within the masculine figure of her dear husband. She suppressed her smile and soon fell into deep slumber.

The next day it was the last hearing of Vikrant's case. Sumo high alerted the security around Shravan. She was the one to rise up the earliest because she was way too damn worried about the Case. Although she knew he'll win the case but she was scared.
It was 6 in the morning and she had to wake Shravan by 8 as the hearing was on 10. She used to do his tie and gave him a kiss on his cheek as Shravan always said it was lucky for him and he meant it. Whenever she wasnt there to do it.. the hearing would go bad. She was confused as she herself told him to stay away but if she wont wish him luck.. it wont be any good. She quickly placed his suit which he is going to wear for the hearing and placed all the things together on the sofa so Shravan dont face any problem.
She went to the washroom and came back to see Shravan roaming his hand on the bed to search for her because he was not used to of sleeping without her. She sighed and sat beside his sleeping figure. Shravan in his sleep found his Sumo and layed his head in her lap snuggling into her locking his arms around her waist. She giggled st his antics and caressed his hair. How much she say him to stay away.. she herself was not able to stay away from him.
Soon it was the time to wake him up. She placed a kiss on his cheek, forehead and nose. "Good Luck Baby.. Jeet ke ana" saying so she moved out of the bed placing his head on the pillow carefully. And set the alarm of 8:05 and went to the washroom. And then downstairs for making breakfast
Alarm rang and Shravan woke up with an empty bed. He sighed. He knew when his wife is in SUMO mode, no one can help him. He went to the washroom and took a bath and changed. He waited for Sumo to come and do his tie. He was sure she will come.. and there she was. She came inside the room with a straight face. Without looking into his eyes she did his tie. Shravan locked his hands around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Hey Jaan.. Look at me atleast.." When she was done she tried to get out of his hold and was successful. She instantly left the room leaving behind a sad Shravan.

Suman placed the breakfast on the table. Today Khush woke up early too to wish his papa Good Luck and do breakfast with him. He came downstairs and they had their breakfast and as usual.. if not His Jaan, His Princess fed him bites for his breakfast.
Sumo went into the kitchen and it was time for Shravan to leave. Khush came and tugged Sumo's kurta with her hand. Sumo raised an eyebrow at her in question.
"Mumma papa jaa rhe hain.. Will you not shay good luck?" She asked innocently. Shravan entered the kitchen as well.
"Sumo main jaa rha ho" Shravan announced. "Ok" she replied. "You wont wish me luck?" He asked. "Good Luck" she said without looking at him and continuing her work.
"Princess" he signaled. She closed her eyes with her hands and turned. Shravan pulled Sumo and quickly gave a peck on her lips. Sumo whacked his arm as their daughter was there too. Khush giggled and opened her eyes. He smiled sheepishly.
"Galti meri nahi thi.. You wished me Luck so badly." He pouted. "Acha ab main jaa rha ho" hearing this Sumo got nervous. Her Eyes welled up. "Jaan relax kuch nahi hoga.. See you wished me Luck ab to main haar hi nahi skta" he said to make her relax. Khush signaled him to take her in his arms. She gave a kiss to him on his cheeks and he beamed towards her.
"See.. Ab to kuch bhi ho jaye I will win it" he exclaimed and gave a side hug to Sumo before leaving and a kiss to Princess.
"BUBYEE PAPA LOVE YOU" she waved. "Byee Princess i love you and your mumma too" saying so he left.

"Mummaa papa cashe jeet gayee.. shee newshh dekho mummaa" khush squeeled watching the television which she was watching for the past hours just to hear her papa winning the case. While Suman was constantly praying to God to be with her Shravan.
When she heard Khush's voice she ran to the launch and tears of happiness rolled down her eyes. Sumo sat beside khush and she jumped in Sumo's lap. She wiped her tears and said.. "Mumma ap roo kion rhi ho? Papa to cashe jeet gaye" she asked confusingly.
"Bas i am very happy! Acha papa ki chamchi! Papa ko mat btana that i cried" after all Sumo was Sumo! Her "DONT TALK TO ME" mode was still on! Because he fought the case. Though she was happy, but she was SUMO too. Khush nodded.
When Shravan returned home, Khush ran towards him and jumped in his arms. She kissed his cheek. "CONGRATULATION PAPA" she squeeled happily. "Thank You Princess" he kissed her forehead. "Mumma kaha hain?" He whispered. "Ooper" she pointed upstairs.
"Ghussa hain abhi bhi?" She nodded yes. Shravan sighed. "Papa ap ko pta hai.. jab ap cashe jeete to mumma roo rhi theen.. maine pocha reashon to unho ne kaha ke she ish very happy" She whispered. Shravan smiled widely. "Or btane mna kra tha ap ko" she added smiling sheepishly.
"Aww Papa ki Princess to papa ko sab btati hai! Hai na" they shared a hi-5. "Acha ab papa mumma ke paas jaa rhe hain un ko manane.. okay?" Khush nodded. "Good Luck" she gave a thumbs up. He smiled and ran upstairs.

As he entered the room, he saw Sumo standing infront of the mirror combing her hairs. He went to her and back hugged her and snuggled into the crook of neck rubbing his stubble. Sumo shivered. He smirked how he held a very strong effect on her. She tried to push him away but he was in no mood to leave her.
"Jaan" he whispered against her skin.
"Choro mujhe.. or door rho! Mana kra hai na qareeb ane" Suman said annoyingly. "Uh Uh.. you said case ki last hearing tak! And aj last hearing thi! Ab no more door rehna" he placed a kiss behind her ear. Suman closed her eyes because the effect he was having on her right now was something which was making her go all crazy.
"Shr..avan.. Khush ajaye gi hatoo" she warned him. "Nahi aye gi" he informed and snuggled closer.
"See Baby.. Main jeet gaya na! And kuch bhi nahi hoa! Tum fazool me dar rhi thi" he turned her to face him.
"Oh.. Tum jeet gaye? Congratulations" she passed a smile. He raised his eyebrow "Tumhe nahi maloom tha?" He asked. "Nahi" she lied.
"Haan jeet gaya.. Akhir mujhe good luck me five kisses mili thi.." she looked at him in confusion. "Ek meri princess se.. ek maine khud li thi tumse or baki..." she widen her eyes.
"BAAKI? BAAKI KISNE DI" she was all red with anger. He smirked. "Jawab do gay tum!?!" She almost shouted.
"Wo.. Baki.. wo jo 3 hai na kisses.. wo ksi ne subah di thi yahan, yahan, or yahan.. or kaha tha ke jeet ke ana" he pointed on his forehead, nose and cheek and smirked. Suman widened her eyes. He added, "Or koi mere jeetne ke baad roya bhi tha" he cupped her face and placed a kiss on both her eyes.
"Papa ki Chamchi" she blurted. "Correction! Papa ki Princess" he beamed at her. She smiled looking down. "So someone said ke door rho baat mat kro.. or subah itna pyaar..galat baat hai" he teased.
"Sab se galat baat to ye hai ke tum uthe we the.." she pouted. "Haan to tum uth ke chali gyi bed se, jab ke pta hai mujhe neend nahi aati" he complained. "Phir tum alarm lga ke mere kaan ke paas chor ke chali gyi! Itna teez alarm! Mere kaan sunn ho gaye the." He pouted making her chuckle. "Ooper se 2 din tk paas bhi nahi aane dia" he said irritatingly. "Sumo you are going to pay for it" he groaned angrily. "I'll half to pay when you'll catch me" saying so she pushed him with all the force and ran around the room giggling.
"JAAN YOU ARE GONE NOW" he groans again and starts chasing her. In no time he catches her and picks her up and land on bed with her. He lays her down and cages her between him by placing his legs and hands on each side of her.
"No one can save ya from me love" he says huskily. "Who wants to be saved?" She beamed. He smiles widely and kisses her like anything. He trails wet kisses from her lips to her collarbone uttering "I Love You" all the while.
"I Love You Too" she said closing her eyes. They spent the whole night making out love and telling how much they loved each other, and how these two days were horrible to spent without each other and promising each other not to lie or hide anything next time.
