Still Holding On (EDKV 1) [Completed]

Part 6

(Party settled in the evening in a roof top restaurant. Everyone got invited to celebrate the ending of a complicated case.)

(Before leaving house)

Shravan (in mind): Tujhe kuch bhi baat nhi krni h usse. Bas case solve krne pr ek good job kehke khtm. Mat bhul 10 saal pehle usne kya kia tere saath.

Flashback

(Shraman were to their way to school. On reaching entrance)

Sumo: Shravan tu 5 min baad aana. Kisi ne hme saath dekh lia to mushkil ho jaegi.

(Shravan frowned but later agreed.)

(He didn't find it friendly that Sumo didn't speak to him in school. He thought that he will suddenly go to her and ask her to introduce him as her friend in front of her friends. But later he dropped the idea.)

(In afternoon, they got the news of prom party at that night and he asked Sumo to be his partner which he agreed.)

(In the evening, when Shravan was waiting for her, she came looking gorgeous. But, besides her, a partner other than Shravan.)

(Inside the hall)

Shravan: Sumo! Tum to mere saath aane wali thi na?

Sumo: Ha yaar! Pr phir Rahul ne mujhse pucha to m manaa nhi kr pai.

Shravan: Pr mujhe to kia na manaa (his voice a lil loud)

(Everyone looked at them.)

Sumo: Shravan dheere bol.

Shravan: Kyu? M kyu? Taki tumhare dosto ko pta na chl jae ki tum meri dost ho?

(Everyone looked shockingly at Sumo)

Sumo: Shravan aaram se baat kr.

Shravan: Nhi! Mujhe jaanna h ki kyu tumne esa kia. Mujhe kaha tumhare saath aaungi aur phir aa gyi Rahul ke saath?

Sumo: To kya glt kia mene. Ha? Apni shakal dekh. Chashmish, padhaku! Tere saath aake m apni image bigaadna nhi chahti thi.

(Shravan was shocked would be an understatement. Moreover, he was broken.)

Shravan: Jb mujhse apna kaam krwaya tb? Homework? Exam tk to mere bharose paas kia. Ab use and throw?

(Sumo stood silent.)

Shravan: Mere sahare iss class tk pahochi ho. Usi naate introduce krlo.

Sumo: Nhi kr skti tujhe introduce. Meri bhi ek reputation h. Nhi h tu school me mera dost. Smjha?

(Shravan was devastated. he ran out of the hall broken and decided to move London to study further as his dad was insisting.)

End

Shravan: Tum chahe kuch bhi kaho, m tumhe maaf nhi krunga!

(Sumo before leaving house.)

Sumo (in mind): Wo tera boss h Sumo. Tu guilty thi pr use nhi dikha wo. Usne jo kuch uss din kaha uske baad to uska chehra bhi nhi dekhna chahti. Pr karz chukane ke liye ye krna hoga. Kaash Pushkar kuch help kr pata. Itne sb me to use btane ka mauka hi nhi mila. Baad me dekhti h.

(Everyone reached the venue. All were having a nice time. Shravan was thinking not to think about her but her admiration was being the talk of the party. He was exhausted but couldn't do anything as Eric insisted to stay. All decided to play Truth and Dare. After Eric, Ria, and 2 more colleagues' turn, it was Shravan's turn. He wasn't interested but everyone forced him so he took Dare.)
