She shared it with him because he was the only person she was comfortable sharing that with..He had been that special to her...She always expected he would stick up to the Best friend part...Until the time came when he told her clearly he wouldn't be there even as a friend to her. Even as Suman read Shravan's letter she had been so ashamed of herself...she herself had not imagined this depth to his love. Because she had never had to measure her love..and now..even without her knowing it, fate through his actions is making her measure the depth of her love...she will not be the one to see it...He would be the one to see it...Just like she had said the night her wedding broke- even when he hated her, he couldn't bear to see her hurt..even if he claimed he would do it for any other girl...He may not call it love..It may not even be love...But the fact is, she knows she meant something to him..even through the harsh words he spoke...even though his hatred was only too visible and penetrating...still there were the few dying embers of their friendship!Sumo- If he named it for the light...he would have given her a second chance. But Pushkar has seen more of that light than Shravan himself..For Shravan, Sumo was the fearless bulldozer who could get anything done...more than love or respect..he simply adored her...worshipped her...That is why it is so difficult to let her have that power over him again..He very well knows he would become a puppy and she has the power to kick him out...It is this fear that feeds the tedha Shravan.Shravan has seen Sumo for who she is, ONLY ONCE. Even when she shared about her maa ka gehna, he had just shrugged it off..he had not got the importance until she explained about her childhood..That was the day he was truly moved. That was the ONLY GLIMPSE he has of Suman, the person..The rest is about the girl HE LOVES..HE WANTS...who could hurt HIM...Surely there will come a time when he stands back an looks at her. Asks himself this question- Who is Sumo? That is the day he would stop thinking about HIMSELF.π@ Red- Beautifully described. But even in those days, Shravan had sometimes had his way as small favours done in exchange for the things he did for her. They had not been soul mates back then, IMO. Had they been, he wouldn't have looked puzzled when she talked about her maa's gehne and wouldn't even have joked about it..though he did joke about it to make it light..Serious, sensitive Sumo had really FREAKED HIM out! π
