I know I started off my last SS and left it midway! My apologies for that but I somehow lost connect with that story and it would have been dishonest to continue just for the sake of it. Here is another version and I have really thought through this and will stick with it until completion :)
This story starts from the scene here https://youtu.be/ymveLawN-RM?t=16m20s
Preeti walks into Suman's room and sees that Suman's dinner plate is still untouched. Suman is sitting there staring into nothing.
Preeti: Di aapne abhi tak khana nahi khaya? Ye kya baat huyee??
No response from Suman.
Suman Di, please thoda sa kha lo. Yahan aap kuch nahi kha rahe aur waha Shravan..sab chale gaye lekin wo akela baitha hai...na kisi se baat kar raha hai, na kuch khaya hai, arey paani tak nahi piya usne.
Suman still doesn't react. This makes Preeti worried. She tries to make Suman eat again.
Preeti: achcha Shravan ki baat chodo, aap kuch to kha lo..
Seeing no response from Suman, Preeti thinks its better to give Suman some space for now. She leaves from her room. As she comes out, she sees Shravan, sitting there alone, worried.
Preeti: Shravan, mujhe lagta hai tumhe aab ghar jana chahiye. Waha bhi sab log pareshan ho rahe honge na.
Shravan is in trance, he doesn't appear to have heard Preeti. Preeti touches Shravan's shoulder and shakes it a little bit in order to catch his attention and says again.
Preeti: Shravan, mai keh rahi thi ki tumhe abhi ghar jana chahiye aur kuch kha bhi lena chahiye.
Shravan comes out of his trance. Seeing Preeti, he holds her hand and asks her in a shaking voice.
Shravan: Preeti, tum Sumo se mili? Kaisi hai wo? Tumse kuch kaha usne? Khana khaya? So gayee kya?
Preeti: Nahi, Di ne na mujhse baat ki, na khana khaya hai aur mujhe nahi lagta aaj ki raat wo so payengi :(
Shravan has tears in his eyes. He considers going in and talking to Sumo, scolding her to eat, sleep but he thinks to himself- Kya ab mujhe wo haq raha hai? Maine usse jo bhi kaha uske baad kya wo pehle ki tarah apne dard mujhse baatengi?
Preeti interrupts his thought.
Preeti: Shravan, mujhe lagta hai hume thode time ke liye Di ko akela chodna chahiye. Aj jo kuch bhi hua, uske baad unhe samhalne ka waqt dena chahiye, Mujhe lagta hai abhi unhe disturb karna theek nahi hoga, tum abhi ghar jao. Kal subah chale ana?
Shravan sees her point and gets up to leave. He glances at the closed door of Suman's room. It again reminds him of how he broke it in the morning to save Sumo from Aditya. He shivers remembering what he saw inside that room today. Looking away, he leaves from there and comes back home.
At Shravan's home, Shravan punching the bag in his black vest, thinking to himself:
Kyun?? Kyun mai itna affect ho raha hoon aj Sumo ke sath jo bhi hua usase? Maine to usase saare rishte tod diye the na? To phir mujhe itna farak kyun pad raha hai? Kyun mai chah ke bhi usase anjaan nahi ban pa raha?
Kya aj Sumo ke sath jo bhi hua usake liye mai jimmedaar hoon? Kahi na kahi iska lena dena maine kal Aaditya se jo kaha usase to nahi? Kyun hamesha Sumo ki saari pareshaniyon ki wajah mai bann jata hoon? (Punches the bag). Aur kyun usase mujhe itni taqleef hoti hai? Mai ye to nahi chahta tha ki Sumo ke sath aisa kuch ho par Kya mai yahi nahi chahta tha ki Sumo pareshaan ho? To phir uski pareshani se mai itna pareshan kyun hoon?
Itna gussa aa raha hai aj khudpe. Uss Aditya ki to jaan hi le leta mai...Pushkar ko to maine keh diya ki Sumo ki jagah koi aur ladki bhi hoti tab bhi mai yahi karta, par kya sach me mai kisi aur ladki ko uss situation se nikalne ke alawa aur kuch karta? Jab maine Sumo ko Aditya se bacha liya tha to use itna peeta kyun? Kyun mai apne ap ko rok nahi paya? Kyun abhi bhi sochta hoon to uss leechad ko marne ka man karta hai? Ye tum kya kar rahi ho Sumo mere saath? Kyun mujhe aisi jagah lakar khada kar diya hai jaha se mai na tumhe chod sakta hoon, na bhool sakta hoon aur na hi sath chal sakta hoon...
He punches the bag one last time in frustration and goes back to his room. He is trying to sleep but all these thoughts are making him anxious. He lies in bed, eyes wide open, thinking about all that happened since morning, trying to collect his thoughts..He hears a knock on the door and Ramnath calling "Shravan???"
Shravan suddenly closes his eyes and pretends to be asleep. Ramnath comes inside and sees Shravan sleeping. He thinks to himself "Chalo achcha hai..mujhe laga tha aaj Suman ke sath jo hua uske baad Shravan wapas pareshaan ho gaya hoga. Shanti se so raha hai, achcha hai." He adjusts the blanket on Shravan and leaves.
Shravan opens his eyes and thinks to himself again-
Kyun abhi maine papa ke samne sone ka natak kiya? Mai papa se baat nahi karna chahta tha kyunki mujhe pata tha wo phir se Sumo aur mere rishte ke bare me baat karenge aur mujhe abhi Sumo ke baare me kuch galat nahi sunana tha..par kyun? Poori duniya me maine sirf papa ko ye haq diya hai ki wo mere aur Sumo ke rishte ke baare me baat kar sake par aj unse bhi baat karne ka man kyun nahi kiya? Aisa laga jaise mai bardasht nahi kar paunga agar wo Sumo ke bare me kuch ulta seedha bol de...Kyun Sumo Kyun?
Half screen shows Shravan restless in his bed while the other half shows Sumo wide awake looking out of the window of her room with no expression in her eyes..
