Imaginary Episode #16 - Love me like you do...

Everyone can see the calm rage on his face, when he took time to remove his watch ... Aditya will pay for my Sumo's tears by his blood ... in his bliend fury Aditya lost his image, courage and respect... in front of everyone including his mother ... no Sharavns's mother.

no one was able to stop him when ramnath requested Suman to stop him...

A simple tug on his arm and he stood still... its his love who is asking him to stop...

Shravan stood there trying to calm his rioting nerves. He was at a loss of words. Only one thought rang in his mind. Sumo wasn't happy, this jerk didn't deserve her, what do I do!

He looked up to see sumo staring intently at him. He couldn't decipher her right then. Was she angry? Was she confused at his behaviour? Was she upset he came to her rescue? Wait, is that a glint of tears forming in her eyes? Oh that Aditya is a dead man. He made his sumo cry. He's is going to pay... wait what? His sumo? Did he still claim her as his?

He just kept looking into her deep brown eyes. Oh he could drown. What surprised him was that she didn't tare away her eyes. As if drowning in his was taking away all her worries.

To anyone else who saw the two, the temperature had risen. Their orbs penetrating each others souls.

"Sumo"
She didnt reply
"Sumo" he called her again. Still no response
He shook her. She ran in his arms and hugged him tightly.
He was too shocked to react but hugged her back.
She sobbed clutching his shirt.
"I...I ...am sorry shravan " she said between her sobs.

He looked at her in disbelief. This girl was apologising him when she was not at fault. He was so blind in his rage he insulted her, called her names. He was so ashamed of himself.

"Sumo ...listen to me. You were never wrong. It should be me who must be apologising. I failed as a friend sumo. I failed. I didnt trust my best friend. I let you down . Sorry." He said .

"Nahi Shravan, tum galat nahi the.. galti meri thi. I pushed you away!"

"Sumo! After everything I did, everything I said, tum abhi yeh kahogi?"

"Haan shravan, kyunki tum aaise nahi ho. Tum kisi ka dil jaan kar kabhi nahi dukhate aur mai toh tumhari sumo hoon. Maine jo kia, tumhe bohot dard diya, tumne jo kia woh sirf us dard ka ehsaas tha, tum jo mehsoos kar rahe the, tum chahte the mai bhi mehsoos karoon"

Shravan had lost her at 'tumhari sumo'. Everything else after just made his heart soar higher and higher in an unending euphoria.

"Tumhari sumo" He breathe out

"Haan?" Sumo asked a bit bewildered.

"Tumne kaha, tumhari sumo." His eyes glittering with pride. "MERI SUMO?"

And blush crept up her face. Had she just admitted that to him? So easily?

Shravan kept looking on, "Kaho na.. meri ho tum?"

---------

"Sumo?"
"Huh?"
"Kahan kho gayi? Kuch puch raha hoon tumse!"
"Haan bolo na?"
Tch tch...
"Tum kiski Sumo ho?"
"Abhi toh kaha tha!"
"Kitna bolti ho tum! pata hi nahi chala kya keh rahi thi...phirse bolo na!"
"Achha thik hai! Tum batao, Sumo kiski hai?"

A ridiculously shy grin slowly crept up His face, the corners of his smile reaching his eyes, crinkling them at the edges.
She LOVED that smile. He never smiled at anyone like that except HER. Yes, she had noticed it.
And then, with utterly magnificent grace, he lazily strode up to her, as she backed away towards the door, her heart hammering in her chest.
Sliding his hand behind her waist and pulling her close, he locked the door behind her with the free hand. Then, he brought that hand up and held her chin, tilting her face so that she looked right into his eyes and in a painfully husky voice, breathed, "Sumo sirf Meri hai."
And then leaned down to touch his lips to her forehead, almost reverentially.
