Hello people!
Everyone is elated with ShraMan marriage news, it's like forum mai sabki shaadi ho rahi hai, that kind of happiness! I love! Cause honestly, mujhe bhi itni hi khushi hai jaise meri shadi ho rahi ho... To iss khushi ke mauke pe, meri taraf se ek OS... This shaadi has given me so many feels, I need to write them out nahi toh dil overflow ho jayega!
This is immediately after the court marriage, ShraMan visit TK and take everyone's blessings and just like that they are married. PreeKar bring them both home. They are in 'their' room. Ab aage!
Mrs. And Mr. Shravan Malhotra
Both of them just stood rooted in their respective spots. It had been 5 maybe 10 minutes since Preeti and Pushkar left. The silence in the room was deafening. Finally they both looked up, as if in tandem. The same question on both their faces, Are we actually married? A few moments later, that question became a sense of calm, they were married indeed! Words were never a necessity between the two, but they spoke as though reading each other, "AB KYA!" No sooner had the words left their mouths, they realized they had both jumped the gun. She in her self respect, he in his ego and now they were having this awkwardness they didn't know what to do about.
Finally, Shravan spoke, "Ab kya ka kya matlab? Shadi ke baad kya hota hai Sumo!"
"What the hell do you mean Shravan!" Suman almost yelled.
"I mean ab kya ab bolke kya matlab! Ab toh shaadi kar li hum dono ne.."
"Yeh sab tumhari galti hai!" She retorted.
"Meri? Oh hello madam! Jab nanaji ne poocha tab tumne bhi haan kaha tha.."
"Shadi ke liye haan ki thi Shravan, iske liye nahi."
"Screw dheela hai kya tumhara? Shadi ke liye haan kahi thi, iske liye nahi? Court marriage bhi shaadi hi hoti hai!"
"Aaise, PCT mai se utha kar le aaye aur papers sign karva diye, toh ho gayi shaadi!"
Shravan was flabbergasted. Didn't she want a simple wedding, no unnecessary expenditure. "Dekho, tumne kaha kharcha nahi karna hai, toh maine muft mai shadi karva di. Aur Indian law ke hisaab se..."
"Apna law na jhaado mujh pe, pata hai, legally hum husband wife hai"
Both of them kept staring at each other, mum, husband-wife? That's when it all sunk in, they were man and wife. Man and wife! A small smile crept up their faces. But soon their egos took over.
"Dekho, tumse shadi ki hai iska yeh matlab nahi ke tum jo chaho mere saath karo, samjhe tum!"
Shravan felt the weight of her words, but Shravan 2.0 decided to have some fun. After all she was his wife wasn't she!
"Sumo, sorry, Mrs. Suman Shravan Malhotra" He said with a twist in his lips, "Mai pati hoon tumhara!" Stressing every word. "Tum apne pati ko khush nahi karogi?" That glint was back in his eyes. He moved slowly towards Suman, while she backed up. Till she finally hit the mirror in the walk in wardrobe.
"Shr..Shravan paas mat ana mere", she whispered, although her face told a different story.
Shravan had decided to simply scare her, but try as he may he couldn't stop, not just yet. Her like this, here in his room, no their room, as his wife, suddenly stirred something in him. He always wanted to be married to her, he dreamt of this day. He wondered how her lips would feel against his.
Sumo saw him looking intently at her. His eyes turning hues darker. She saw red but why couldn't she budge. His eyes had love? Stop it Sumo, Pyaar nahi karta woh tum se.
"Sumo.." his voice hoarse.
"Hmmm.."
"Mujhe bhook lagi hai!" He said laughing.
"Kya!"
"Bhook lagi hai mujhe, tumhe kya laga? Oooh! Haww Sumo! Kitni besharam ho tum! Jao pati ko khush karo! Khana!"
Suman gaped at him in disbelief. This man would be the end of her. She wanted to slap him right then, why didn't he just kiss her. She thought getting him food would be a better option. Her thoughts were going into dangered territory.
Stop right there Mr. Newly married Malhotra, he had scolded himself when he almost lost himself to her. Control your hormones.. You two have a lot to clear. He just thought it wrong on his part to exercise his rights when he didn't even know what his wife thought of him, and he was yet to tell her his part in the Aditya fiasco. A part of him was guilty, but he was happy. Sumo, his Sumo was his wife! "Biwi" He breathed out.
At that moment Suman walked in with a tray of food for both of them. She saw him standing right where she left him, staring into nothingness, a smile graced his lips, contentment on his face. What did he say? Biwi? Was he actually happy with all of this. Sumo's own heart did a backflip. She always wanted to be his. But then they had a lot of issues to settle.
"Shravan"
"Biwi"
"Shravan" She said cocking her brow.
"Biwi" He said smiling.
"SHRAVAN!"
"Haan, kya hai! Mujhe mera naam pata hai. Chilla kyun rahi ho!"
"Pagal ho kya tum, kabse awaz de rahi hoon aur tum Biwi biwi ka jhaap kar rahe ho!"
"Maine kab kaha biwi?", his mask had slipped. Damn it!
"Mera sirf screw dheela hai, tumhare paas toh dimag hi nahi hai!"
"Kuch bhi..", he said, taking the tray from her and placing it on the table.
"Aao, tum bhi kuch kha lo, subha se khaya nahi hai."
She was bemused, he remembered she hadn't eaten. But this joke of a marriage had her irked. "Nahi, aur tumhe yeh jatane ki zaroorat nahi ke tumhe meri kitni parvah hai."
Day one, and she had already staked his heart. "Sumo, for better or for worse, we are married. Toh tumhe kuch hua toh naam mujh pe hi aayega. Chup chaap baitho aur kha lo kuch."
Fuming she obliged. They ate in silence stealing sly glances at each other. Both were content to be married to the love of their lives, but their egos and guilts held heavier.
--------------------
"Mai tumhare saath nahi sone wali."
Shravan who was engrossed in next is what was taken aback. "Kya?"
"Mai tumhare saath nahi soongi Shravan", she said plainly.
"Mai tumhe apne saath sone ke liye force karne bhi nahi wala tha!"
"Tum force kar bhi nahi sakte"
"Mai karna hi nahi chahta"
"Tum kya kuch karoge."
"Tum chahti ho mai kuch karoon?"
"Maine aaisa kab kaha?"
"Abhi! As if tum chahti ho ke mai kuch karoon", he said narrowing his eyes.
"Maine kaha tum mujhe apne saath sone ke liye majboor nahi kar sakte, agar chaho toh bhi nahi."
"Sumo, tumhe samjh aa raha hai tum bol kya rahi ho."
"Haan yehi ke mai tumhare saath nahi sone wali..."Her voice trailed, when she realized what she said and what it may have implied.
Shravan laughed, it had been ages he laughed like that. With no inhibitions. Suman just kept looking at him. He looked so at peace. When he laughed like this, she felt her Shravan was back. Why couldn't he be like this always. Sumo ka Shravan.
Shravan composed himself and looked at her admiring him. He felt happy. Genuinely. But then his guilt bobbed its ugly head. He walked towards his bed, grabbed his pillow and placed it on the sofa. "Mai yahan so jaoonga, tum bed pe so jao"
"Nahi. Room tumhara. Bed tumhara. Tum kyun sofa pe sooge"
"Sumo, Room humara. Bed bhi humara. But kyunki tum "MERE" saath nahi so sakti, I'll sleep here." He gestured with his hands.
Sumo contemplated and then when she spoke, it was Shravan's chance to be shocked. "Hum bed share kar lete hai."
His eyes grew wide and jaw fell open.
"Maine kaha bed share kar lete hai, iss baar sahi bola maine, saath sone ki baat nahi ki." She sure thought herself intelligent.
"Par? Kya?"
"Dekho, hum bachpan se ek doosre ko jaante hai."
"Haan"
"Hum dost bhi hai-the-hai.. haan toh dost reh chuke hai pehle"
"Haan"
"Itna bharosa toh hai tum pe ke tum aaisi koi harkat nahi karoge jisse mujhe uss tarhe ki takleef ho"
Guilt was back, if it ever left it was back.
"Sumo"
"Dekho Shravan, mai bharosa karti hoon tumpe. Shayad khud pe karti hoon usse zyada. Haan mai shocked hoon ke humari iss tarha shadi hui hai, par bharosa hai ke tum kuch galat nahi hone doge"
Right now, if guilt was water, he was at Niagara. He was going to drown. Sumo saw his face change emotions, but she couldn't quite put a finger on why?
"Shravan, mai right side pe so jaati hoon, kyunki tum hamesha left pe sote ho, aage tumhari marzi."
Isko yaad hai mai left mai sota hoon, thought Shravan. She trusts me. And look at me. No. No. I did nothing wrong. Maine jo kaha hoga galat tha par accha hi hua na. Sumo uss chomu se bach gayi. Usse bach gayi par mere saath phas gayi. Mai kaunsa accha hoon. Mai bhi toh... his thoughts took a back seat when he saw Sumo peacefully sleeping in his, correction their bed. It was a sight to behold.
All the guilt, all the ego, all the issues ek taraf aur Sumo ko aaise dekhna ek taraf. Yeh hamesha aaisi kyun nahi hoti, shaant, pyaari. He walked close to the bed, sat on his side, popped himself on his elbow and admired her. "Bohot pyari lag rahi ho Sumo. Meri Sumo. Meri biwi." He grinned like the fool he was.
Sumo hadn't slept. She was merely lying down. When she heard Shravan's proclamations. Like hell sleep would envelope her now. She slowly opened her eyes only to meet his. Deep and full of love. Oh how she could drown in them.
"Pyaari lag rahi thi?"
Shravan's smile faultered. Day one of marriage and he had already dropped his guard twice! Damn his heart.
"Nahi"
"Tumne kaha! Maine Suna!"
"Oh madam! Aap so rahi thi, koi sapna dekha hoga. Waise bhi tumhara toh sapna hi hai na ke mai tumhe pyaari ya aaisa kuch boloon."
"Tumhe kaise pata!", she bit her tongue. Damn! What was with his eyes today! She just couldn't keep any control over herself.
"Kya kaha?"
"Kuch nahi."
"Sumo!"
"Shravan"
They both smiled, cause deep down they knew what they meant to the other. They both wished it was this simple. They both sighed cause it was not.
"Good night Su.. nahi.. biwi"
"Good night chash... nahi pati"
They turned to opposite sides, grinning widely, contentment in their hearts as they let themselves drift to sleep. They may have slept off at the very edges of the bed, but they managed to be pulled into each other, as though they subconsciously found each other. Suman's head rested on Shravan's chest. Both of Shravan's hands encircled her, as if to protect her from the world. Snuggled slept newly married Mrs. And Mr. Malhotra. This as they say, was just the beginning.
