ShraMan FF: Dil Najane Kya Kar Gaya

Chapter 9 - Make up after breakup

Shravan

My mind was raging in anger and memories, my head were aching bad. How could Sumo blame my dad for all the history our families had. Dad won't ever do something like this to someone! He is a good person. It was really hurtful of her to say such things about my dad. The midnight kiss seemed like a lost memory, Sumo doesn't even remember it. It was the least important things in my mind but I had to know the truth to this story. I have to talk to dad. I reached back home after the hiatus.

My room was a mess surprisingly; I arranged a few things here and there and then freshened up. Everyone had their breakfast and home enjoying their weekend. It was the right time to ask dad about it. He was skimming through some files.

"Dad, can I ask you something?" I sat beside him.

"yeah, go on!"

"what happened between you and the tiwaris?"

"tiwaris, how do you know them?" he sounded confused.

"well, I recently met Sumo.. Suman through Pushkar and Preeti, you know she is her sister" I lied.

"oh, yes Suman, you guys are friends now?"

"yeah, we are! Dad now can you answer my question?"

"Shravan look, tiwaris are history, yes I and Sameer were in a partnership for a while but things fell out between us"

"what happened?"

"well, we started a business together, it was going fine for a few years until we found out our office was an illegal space, police arrested us for that, I got bail and I tried to get Sameer out from all the court cases and jail time but I failed"

"so you did help him?"

"why wouldn't i! we were partners and great friends! But he really misunderstood me, he thought I didn't do anything for him and just saved myself from the case"

"dad there might have been something you could have done to save him from all this?"

"don't you think I didn't try all the ways, but it just kept happening until I had no way out of this problem"

"I trust you dad, I really do! Thanks for sharing it with me"

"I should have told you before but you already had a lot in this head of yours"

"yeah, I am glad you did now"

Pushkar arrived, "hi bhai, I wanted to ask you about that case..remember" he raised his brows.

"oh yes, I am coming you go to my room!" I went to my room seeing off dad.

"SO, WHAT HAPPENED?" he seemed more excited than ever

"what?" well I can't say everything that happened, do boys even share such things?

"c'mon bhai kal raat kya hua? Aap ghar leke gaye Sumo ko ya phir wahi pe the?"

"nahi kaha, wahi pe the, tu bata, Ria theek thak poch gayi thi na ghar?"

"ha bhai, she was totally out but I managed to sneak her to her room and came back, toh aapne Sumo ko bas bed pe chodke chale gaye?"

"uski halat hi nahi thi bedroom tak pochne ki, wo couch pe hi so gayi..."

"toh kuch bhi nahi hua aap dono ke beech?"

"Pushkar, kuch bhi nahi hua ---I laid her on the couch and she slept end of story" I blushed.

"Nahi kuch toh hua hai, aapki shakal bata rahi hai"

"it doesn't matter chote, subah hum dono ki ladai ho gayi and all this planning and stuff is over"

"why, what happened? I thought you guys were getting along!"

"until I met her mamaji and this whole outburst of history of malhotras and tiwaris was spilled, you knew about this?"

"barely, not the entire story, and honestly I didn't care. But I don't know how I and Preeti are gonna put our relationship up when the families don't even talk"

"don't worry we will figure a way out to unite these two families. Itne saal ho gaye hai, abh aur kitna ruth ke baithenge?"

"abhi aap wo chodo, aap Sumo ko message karo, she might be feeling sad about it"

"she wasn't polite either"

"don't you want to be friends with her? Dosti mein itna toh kar sakte ho aap"

"well, I guess you are right"

"chalo mein chalta hu"

A message won't do justice, a call would be better I thought. I called her but she didn't pick up. After my 5th attempt she yelled, "kya hai? Phone nahi uthana mujhe isliye nahi utha rahi hu toh tum pura din phone karte rahoge?"

I chuckled, she heard that and continued, "hasi aa rahi hai tumhe, mein phone rakh rahi hu"

"arey sunoo na Sumo, sorry na, haa mein pura din phone karta agar tum nahi uthati, abhi maaf bhi kardo"

"sacchi mein?"

"kya?"

"tum phone karte?"

"haa jab tak tum maan nahi jati"

"accha?"

"please Sumo, jo hua so hua, humari families ke jhagde ko lekar hum kyu jhagad rahe hai?"

"well you are right, par tumhe kuch aur bhi karna padega"

"kya?"

"tumhe mere saath ek pura din bitana padega, agle hafte 21st October hai, uss din"

"uss din kya hai?"

"oh, yes ofcourse tumhe kaise patha hoga? Patha laga lo aur mujhe ghar se pick karlena, tab shayad mein tumhe maaf karne ka soch lu"

"oh, challenge pe challenge, theek hai nikal lunga is date ka significance aur tumhe mana bhi lunga"

"dekhti hu!"

Now this was interesting. What was 21st October, god! But I don't think it will be something very hard?

Suman

Did I just ask Shravan to guess my birthday? A day just with him just like the old days, maybe I can show him the spots we used to hang out the most and he might remember me. This whole plan seemed so bygone and irrelevant now. I feel it is now more about us and our friendship. Pushkar after all this time, you gave a very good idea and I will forever be grateful for it!

Shravan, mein bhi dekhti hu tum kaise patha karte ho 21 october ko hai kya!
