@Hemaji leave Virender. Yes he is regressive but he has not plotted the murder of his daughter. He wanted to marry her off by hook or crook as he believed her having affair will dent family's honor. A girl is not supposed to have choice, that's it about him. But yes if she died in the accident he wouldnt have cared much.

Will he ever realise Suman's value?

Chapter 253- The Night Safari

It has been two days since they were in Singapore. The trade fair was going smooth. There were enough customers for the Rashee stall. Demand was more for fabric painted duppattas and stolls than sarees and suits. Embroidered hankies were also moving fast. There was a Mrs Sudha Mehta who had come to their stall. Her family was in Singapore for the past 15 years and they had both whole sale and retail cloth business. During Sreedhar's last year visit the Mehta group had showed interest in having a partnership on the whole sale part and now the men were busy in finalizing the business formalities.

Mrs Mehta ran a chain of Indian boutiuqes in Singapore and she sourced unique pieces from India for them. She had come to the shop to see how Rashee as a brand was. Suman thought she liked them as she didn't tell anything explicitly as she told she will come back.

But that day she was looking forward to Singapore Night Safari. A park that was only open at night and Sreedhar had got passes for all of them to go at night. Since mornings were busy sight seeing was a problem, though Sudhir had planned one day post the fair for sight seeing. Sreedhar had felt one day is not enough but Sudhir told they cannot extend stay.

From then on Sreedhar was checking on how to spend the evenings wisely.

" Bhabi do you really want to see tigers and all so much closely " Vindhya asked. Renu laughed

" Vindhya don't tell me you are afraid . Do one thing, when we board the bus or whatever vehicle they give, sit beside Sudhir and trouble him. For a change I will sit near Suman" told Renu.

" Why are you guys not understanding. Cant we go somewhere and eat something nice. Why to watch tigers, reptiles and all" told Vindhya.

" Bhabi you complain Sudhir Jethji is not romancing you. See this is the perfect option for you to romance him. Seeing you terrified he will have no option but hold you" told Suman and laughed.

Vindhya blushed and pinched Suman slightly and Suman laughed more.

" Suman you are talking as if you know a lot about romance. Seeing lot of romance movies " asked Renu and Suman was startled a bit.

" Bhabi it is just that... " Suman tried to cover up, but Renu patted gently. " I was joking don't take it seriously". Then a customer came and soon they became busy and once the men came the day's work was almost over and they were packing up.

Soon they were for the night safari. Sreedhar looked at Suman who was wearing a violet cotton saree. He wanted to hold the delicate waist of her. He averted his eyes quickly. Anyways either Vindhya Bhabi or Renu Bhabi will sit beside her in the tram.

When the tram came Renu and Suman made sure Vindhya sat with Sudhir and Renu was about to get in with Suman when Tilak told

" My dear wife very rarely I get chance to spend time with you like this. I guess Suman and Sreedhar don't have problem being together. So you come with me " . Renu looked at Tilak and then she understood what he was implying and told Suman.

" Suman I hope you and Sreedhar can manage. Very rarely I get offers like this"

" No issues Bhabi, you please proceed with Jethji " told Suman. Sudhir and Vindhya looked at each other. Does Bhaiyya and Bhabi know. Their smile indicated they had some inkling. Anyways it was Singapore and Sree-Suman was with family. So the defense was always there why they were together.

Sreedhar couldn't believe his luck as Suman climbed beside him in the tram. As the tram started moving Suman looked into his eyes. His eyes indicated her to lean back. She indicated to listen to the person explaining about Safari and sat upright smiling at him. Sreedhar made a poker face and sat straight not looking at her instead concentrating on the safari and teasing Vindhya Bhabi now and then.

Suman at first joined them, but soon was disenchanted with the banter. She had not leaned back because she understood what he wanted. She was not sure whether it was right to go near him like that now. Why was he not understanding her dilemma. Her eyes brimmed with tears only to feel his hand over hers.

She turned and saw his eyes telling her he was just joking, had no intention to make her sad. He was spoilt for a moment, but he wont force her to anything which she was not comfortable.

Just then a tiger made a ferocious noise and instinctively Suman held Sreedhar's shoulder and closed her eyes and he put his arm around her waist holding her, till they passed the point where the tiger continued to make noise.

Once he left her , they looked into each other's eyes. Sreedhar smiled, Suman blushed as the tram came to a stop and the guide asked the travelers to move towards the place where cultural programs are happening.
