A new thread, a new chapter! What more could I want! Thank you all, for loving this FF so much! Okay, without further Ado, let's start the chapter!
This chapter is for Ritu (Sadia.ritu), here comes your update.
And of course Mayuri for reading whole of Destined in one day, and yes, she still survived!
Chapter 25
I had to talk to Shravan, what had he done, he just literally sabotaged the Ahujas! I just walked through the corridor, wishing, I were in a tank! " Yeh sochta Kya Hai, apne aap ko! Kuch bhi karega!"
I knocked the door, and it was open! " Shravannn..."but he was nowhere to be found, " bathroom mein Hai Kya! Koi baat nahin abto main baat karke jaungi!"
Then only I heard series of thuds, from the lawn, that was attached with his room. "Shravan.." I went there to see, and what I saw was something I didn't expect!
Shravan with a punching bag!
He was hitting the bag, with so much force, the bag itself had crumbled in many places. " Yeh pura pagal ho Gaya Hai lagta hai! "
I stared at him for another whole minute, failing to understand, the emotions I was feeling that particular point! Seeing Shravan like this was my dream! Every punch was causing his muscles to move, I didn't realise, he had been working out lately! I knew he was fit before his accident, I have seen his photographs, he was going back to his good old days, the days, where I wasn't a part of his life! At one minute I felt immense happiness and pride, that Shravan had overcome his incapabilities, but at other point, the sadness collided with happiness, he wasn't the same Shravan I fell in love with! I sighed! Might be too loudly, Shravan looked at me.
" Tum yahan?"
" Mujhse to keh rahe the ki tum bahut tired ho, aur yahan pe boxing!" I tried to be nonchalant!
" Logon ko nahin maar sakte na, isiliye yeh hi sahi!" He took a step towards me, and I took a step behind involuntarily! Looking at me, he stopped, his face betrayed for a second, he looked hurt!
" I am not going to hurt you!"
" Really?" Why couldn't he see the amount of mental pain he was giving me, why couldn't he understand, whatever he was doing, it just, shoving me away from him.
" You really think I'll ..." He nodded," Sorry for scaring you!"
" Why Shravan why did you do this?"
" What?"
"To Ahujas!"
He pulled out his gloves from his hands, and threw them somewhere in the lawn, and took deliberate step towards me, " you very well know Suman! "
"Shravan, but they are practically destroyed.."
"They deserve it!" He gritted his teeth.
" Really, like this! What was their fault, Aditya told me the truth of you and your family! Right? "
" No! This happened to him, because he touched you, or I would say, this was, your fault!"
" My fault!" His mind was just like a puzzle, a difficult puzzle!
" Yes, tumhe kidnap karke le Gaya, aur tum usse hi gale laga k ro rahi thi!"
" Shravan, you are sick! I am sorry, that I came here to talk!" How could he think so low of me! Feeling an urge to throw up, I turned my face, I just didn't want to see his face.
"Sumo..." He thundered pulling me by my hand, he picked up his phone from the table, did something in it and shoved it hard in my hand. "Suno isse..."
I pressed the play button, it was the recording of his phone call, where Aditya said, it was me who hugged him, and he had real fun of it! Instantly my eyes flew up to Shravan's face, and his eyes were just a pool of disgust " so I am sick right!"
"Shravan..." This was the reason he reacted like that. Then only I realised how it feel to be objectified, how it feel to be touched by someone else!
I didn't know, when my eyes started brimming with tears, but I did feel a soft pull, I did feel, two large hands encircled me, I did feel, the protectiveness, the comfort flooded me by just that mere small gesture. I just wanted to stay there for life, I longed for that so long, that I wanted to bury me, into that body, body that was tensing up, with every movement my hand was making!
"Sumo.. " a whisper broke my trance. I was suddenly hyper aware of the hands that was just getting more and more tightened. My mind shouted at me to move from there, but my heart, thudded loudly in my chest protesting, this was something my heart needed, this was something my heart had missed, it had missed the warmth, it had missed the sound of the other heart, it had missed the smell, it had missed every single square inch of this body, it had missed him! It needed him, yes my heart needed him.
"Bhaiya..." A shadow moved too fast, " oops I am sorry, I am sorry!"
I pulled out from my heaven, and looked at him. He seemed royally pissed! He was looking at the door, with a murderous glare, " idiot" he gritted his teeth!
...And I burst into laughter! Shravan, just nooded and shouted, " ab aa bhi jaa! Waise bhi Jo karna Tha, woh to tu Kar hi chuka Hai!"
" Mujhe kaise pata hoga bhaiya, kuch der pehele Sumo aapko murder karne wali thi, achanak se, woh aap ko gale lagayegi, mujhe kaise patah hoga! Woh bhi..." He paused, " whatever, mujhe aapse zaroori baat karni hai." He looked at me and then nodded at Shravan. Then and there Shravan growled clenching his fists.
"Sumo tu jaa yahan se..." Pushkar said.
" Is this about Aditya? You people hiding something from me right? " I didn't know why my hair in the scalp prickled, something terribly bad had happened.
" Nothing that concerns you, Suman, just go and sleep!" Shravan ordered!
" No...I want to hear! You said, whatever happened to Ahujas was because of me right! So now I demand an explanation! I need to know! If you don't tell me Shravan, I swear, I would leave the house right now, and you will never see my face."
He looked at me, "Sumo just go from here!" His voice was so cold and detached, that I almost flinched!
" Nooo I want to hear! I am not going anywhere!"
" Fine, Pushkar tell her!" He folded his arms before his chest!
"Bhaiya ki gaari service ki liye ja rahi thi! It met with an accident. That's it. Driver Baal Baal bancha hai"
"To!! Yeh mujhe na batani wali Kya baat Hai! Pushkar Puri baat bata mujhe..." Pushkar looked at Shravan, who nodded " Pushkar bol mujhe.."
" Sumo, woh accident nahin Tha, kisine jaan bujh ke bhaiya ki gaari ki breaks k wires kaat diye the! Taki woh...Par aaj subah bhaiya dusri gaari mein office Gaye the Tere sath! Kyunki bhaiya ki gaari ki ac kaam nahin kar rahi thi! "
" And it must be Aditya!" I whispered, " oh my God! You..." I looked at Shravan, " dekha, yeh hota Hai natija! Tumko koi kuch bolke Gaya aur tum ...dekho, abhi ..."
" Sumo... Sumo don't panic! Dekho main yahin hoon!"
" Nahin tum dekho, main aisi ek accident dekh chuki hoon Shravan, mujhme firse wohi sab dekh ne ki himmat nahin Hai!"
"You still care about me!" He whispered.
" No I don't!" I paused, Pushkar already had left, " mujhe bass yeh..." I stopped again, seeing the expression on his face, he was smiling.
" Hans kyun rahe ho!"
" You still care about me!"
" No I don't!"
" Really Suman, agar mujhe kuch ho Jaye, to tumhe kuch fark nahin padega!" He frowned!
I flinched from inside, " nahin, mujhe koi fark nahin padega!"
" Hmm.. Thik Hai! To fir jao, yahan pe kyun khadi ho!" He barked!
It was five past five in the morning, still I didn't sleep a wink! Only thing, that kept coming back to my mind, was, someone had cut the breaks wire, and Shravan was not in that car, by sheer luck! Praying for the umpteenth time, for Shravan's well being, I got up, it was already seven in the morning.
Today, I didn't dare to wear a saree, I wore a simple light yellow kurti, paired with brown leggings! " This will do, I guess!"
Shravan seemed really happy with the clothe selection of mine, I was covered from top to bottom! He was literally bouncing!
"Chalo aaj koi natak nahin hoga!" I sighed, and got out from the car! Shravan halted in mid way. Before I could react, grabbing my hand he pulled me behind him. " Shravannn.."
" Gari mein baitho jaldi!" He ordered!
" Par kyun!"
" For once, do what you are told Suman! " He snarled. Then only I saw..."Aditya" I gasped.
He looked angry no very angry! He was standing at the main exit of the parking lot,waiting for us! Disheveled hair, grown beard, he looked like a complete lunatic! Shravan made me sit in the car almost tugging me! Did I see a smirk on Aditya's face! I rolled down the window glass, I needed to hear everything!
" So Mr Malhotra, biwi ko bacha rahe ho, khudki koi chinta nahin hai!" He shouted, while coming towards Shravan.
" Khudki chinta tumhe karni chahiye! Mujhe nahin!"
" Achcha! Ekbar banch Kya Gaye, itna confidence aa Gaya!"
" Confidence to mujhme Humesha hi Tha, basss logon ko samajh nahin Aya!"
"Good, main jo kehene Aya hoon, woh keh loon?" Dekho Shravan tumne Mera Jo bhi bigara Hai, woh to abhi sahi nahin hoga par tum agar mere papa ki licence wapas dilwa do, to bohut achcha hoga!" For some reasons Aditya looked straight to me! And my hair prickled!
" Tum isiliye aye ho yahan, bass?" Shravan seemed really unsure of something!
" Haan!" He smiled.
Shravan looked at me, and then nodded, " and you really think that I would help you!"
" Yup, I think so..."
" Kya main jaan sakta hoon kyun!"
" Kyunki..." He took out a gun and pointed towards Shravan!
For a whole minute, I didn't know, what to do, at first, thought of shouting, but then realised, if I did, Aditya would press the trigger for sure. But looking Shravan, standing in front of a gun point, I couldn't sit and see, I couldn't just come out of the car, Aditya might shoot Shravan! I took my phone and messaged Pushkar, " come fast at parking lot, Aditya with a gun, pointing at Shravan."
" Tum mujhe chahe maar daalo, ya fir kuch bhi Karo, main tumhara help nahin karne Wala! I will better die, rather helping you."
" Achcha to agar tum mar Gaye, to tumhari biwi meri!"
"Adityaaa" Shravan lunged at Aditya
All I could hear, an ear shattering sound, a gunshot sound!
So that's it for now! I don't know, whether the chapter is up to the mark or not! Just wrote it, whatever came to my mind!
