Still Holding On (EDKV 1) [Completed]

Part 14

So here, our Shravan realized his love for HIS Sumo and now he is on 'Mission Sumo Patao'(thanks for the name @AdhyaAzad)

2 days later...

Shravan called Sumo.

Shravan: Hello? Kaha ho? Kya kr rhi ho? Koi h kya aas paas? Arre chup kyu ho bolo na..

Suman: Offo! Bolne to do. PCT me hu, abhi order delivery ke liye ja rhi hu.

Shravan: Acha tum wait kro m lene aa rha hu.

Before Suman could reply, the call disconnected. 

Suman: Qutub Minar!!

Shravan arrived after sometime.

Suman: Mene apni car me pehle hi rakh rkhe h lunch boxes, to ab jaha chalna h mere saath hi chalo.

They both departed. After delivering boxes,

Suman: Ab btao kaha chale?

Shravan: Chalo India gate ki kulfi khane chalte h.

Suman: Okay!!

They reached India gate.

Sitting on the bonnet of the car, both were relishing kulfis obviously eyeing how much the other has eaten.

Suman: Bhaiya ek aur.

Shravan: Oh madam! Kitna khaogi? 6 kha chuki ho.

Suman: Mere khaane pr nazar mt lgao. Dusht insaan.

Shravan: Apne pati ko ese bologi?

Suman stopped eating. She started coughing seeing him with wide eyes, while Shravan realized what did he say.

When Suman went normal,

Suman: Kya kaha tumne?

Shravan: Kya bola? Apne..dost ko ese bologi?

Suman: Mene to kuch aur Suna.

Shravan: Apne kaan aur dimaag km chalao aur chalo.

Shraman sat in the car.

Shravan: Sumo wo tumse ek baat krni thi.

Sumo: Kya hua? Bolo.

Shravan: Wo actually kal hi mere liye ek rishta aaya. To mene socha h ki tum ek baar ladki se mil lo to.

Sumo felt a pang in her heart. All the coolness of kulfi left her mouth long ago.

Sumo: Kya? Tumhare liye rishta? Pr ese kese? Abhi to sb kuch sahi tha phir achanak...

Shravan: Arre achanak kya..rishta to aana hi tha. Wese ladki bhot achi h. Bhot beautiful and intelligent bhi. You know, beauty with brains.

Sumo: Oh beauty with brain! Apna brain chalao thoda. Ye kya baat hui? Koi ladki itni perfect nhi hoti. Smjhe? Arre tum ek baar me hi kese maan gye. Tumhe atleast milna chaiye usse. Do teen baar. I am sure, usme koi na koi kami hogi. Wo tumhe kitna samajh paegi?

Shravan: Ha to m mila na usse. Wo bhot understanding h. Koi demand bhi nhi, bilkul seedhi si h. Aur to aur, mujhe duniya me usse zyada koi samajh hi nhi skta. (Dramatically putting his hand on heart)

Sumo: Ye tum kya bakwaas kr rhe ho? Ese kese? Mujhse zyada na tumhe koi nhi jaanta. Use pta h ki tumhe bhindi pasand nhi? Use pta h ki tumhe capsicum se allergy h? Use pta h..

Shravan: Arre bs bs. Yaar abhi mila hu to wo koi antaryami to h nhi, jo sb apne aap jaan jaegi. Sb dheere dheere smjh jaegi na mere baare me. Mujhe to wo bhot achi lgi.

Sumo: Kya kuch bhi bol rhe ho? Tum hosh me to ho? Lawyer hoke kesi illiterate wali baate kr rhe ho. Main cheeze to pta honi chaiye ya nhi. Mujhe to kitna kuch pta h tumhare baare me. Ab tum ekdum se ese pehli meet me kisi ladki ko ha bol doge kya?

Shravan: Ab aur kya kru m Sumo? Wo papa ke friend ki beti h. Bhot zyada dedicated h meri taraf. Bhot simple si h phir bhi itni sundar h ki kya btau. (Dreamily)

Sumo: Tum..tumhara screw dheela h kya? Uncle ke dost ki beti h to maan gye. Are puri duniya me tumhare gharwalo ko wahi mili. Aur koi ladki nhi dikhi unhe aas paas?

Shravan: Ab aas paas me aur h hi koun. Aur ha, m to tumhe btana hi bhul gya, ki ek baar rishta pakka ho jaega to m tumse zyada nhi mil paunga. Ek to usse door hona itna mushkil aur upar se use acha nhi lgega na koi female best friend se mera mel-jhol shaadi ke baad.

Sumo put her hand on her ears.

Sumo: Bas karo tum. Tumse zyada pagal insaan to mene duniya me nhi dekha. Nanu bhi nani se 5-6 baar mile the tb jake maane the shaadi ke liye. Wo wedding courtship bhi to hoti h jisme pehle ache se jaante bujhte h apne partner ko. Tum wo karo, tumhe na usme pakka kuch jhol dikhai dega.

Shravan: Mujhe to ye nhi smjh aa rha tum usme gltiyan kyu dikhana chahti ho. Sb kuch acha chl rha h. Phir ek friend hone ke naate to tumhe mere liye khush hona chaiye.

Suman: Friend nhi best friend aur ha, nahi acha lg rha. Kisi aur ki tareed tumhare muh se. Tumne aaj tk mere alawa kisi ladki ki tareef nhi ki h. Aur uss ladki ne ek baar me tumpe pta nhi kya jadu kr dia. Mujhe nhi acha lg rha tumse kisi aur ki itni tareef sunke. Dard ho rha h bhot.

Shravan: Pr kyu Suman?

Suman: Kyunki...(she stopped)

Shravan: Bolo na..

Sumo: Tum apne office jao aur mujhe pct jane do. Aur koi baat mt kro mujhse.

She started driving and didn't say anything.

Shravan (in mind): Aag to lg chuki. Bs tumne end me control kr lia warna to tum bol deti. Pr ab to kuch bhi ho jae, tumse to bulwa ke hi rahunga. Dekhti jaiye Sumo madam, mene agar tumhare muh se mere liye wo 3 magical words na nikalwaye to mera naam bhi Shravan nhi. Thanks Anjali. Agar subah tumne mujhe ye trick na btai hoti to m to yuhi pagal hota rehta sochte hue ki kese pta kru Sumo ki feelings. Pr aaj jo mene tumhare chehre pr dard dekha, jo jealousy dekhi h na, usse pta lgta h tum kitni nakhush ho iss rishte se.

Sumo (in mind): Ye kya ho rha h mujhe? Sach kaha na Shravan ne, mujhe to khush hona chaiye uske rishte se, pr itni taqleef kyu ho rhi h? Aur m ye ka bolne ja rhi thi. Usse pyaar? Nahi, wo mera dost h. M ese kese uski khushiyon me nakhush ho skti hu. Uff! Itna confusion kyu ho rha h? Kya kru kuch smjh nhi aa rha.

They came to PCT and Shravan went to his office after abiding bye.
