Now shravan and sumo were on peace mode. ..they handshaked to each other and relished their favourite street foods. ..they shared and fought for their share funnily. ..

It has been a long time since they spend time together as friends. .it was a heart filling moment for them. ..

  Shravan brought sumo to shop. ..they purchased as they wish. ..Sooner, it was time to go to house. .

Shravan drove to the park which was near to Tiwari killa. ..sumo wondered why he drove there. ..
Shravan and sumo seated in  the haunted park. ..shravan was silent for sometime. ..

" sumo. ..I knew it would be hurting you more ..but it hurts me more that I hide it from you. .try to understand me. .Please "

He was started to expel everything. ..sumo  was set to hear him. ..

" sumo. ..I loved you so much. .from my childhood. .whenever I  came to propose you. ..you had  broken my heart. .in some way. ...but my love for you kept on increasing. .."

His eyes were filled with enormous love. ..sumo looked him shockingly about his display of love. ..

" but. On that day ..I saw Aditya and his mom nirmala. ..I was out of my mind. ..she asked nanu about the  marriage for Aditya and you. ..it peaked my rage. ..and. ..you were ready to accept it for nanu. .."

His throat chocked. A lone tear ran down to his cheeks. ..sumo remembered the day he called and enquired about marriage proposal. ..

" I was tensed. ..I was worried. ..I was scared that I may miss you. ..my sumo. ..how could i see you marrying another person even after I know that you too love me. ."

   He kept on telling and sumo listened him without any expression. ..

" sumo. ..my whole wilderness turned to nirmala ahuja. ..she was the one who took away everything from me. ..my happiness,childhood, my sumo. ..everything. .. she was the reason why I left you at my childhood. ..in every way, she took my happiness away "

Sumo could understand the pain he underwent. ..she had tears in her eyes. ..In some way, sumo too had broken his heart at their childhood. ..she felt guilty for that even now. .

Shravan continued. ..

" sumo. ..this time too she tried to take my sumo from me. ..sumo. ..you are the only person I have in my  life to love...i decided to make an effort to retain you. .."

Shravan was scared to continue further...sumo looked him keenly. ..shravan sighed. His body stiffened. He gazed at sumo with a rigid face. ..

" sumo. ..I met Aditya the day before wedding. I made him to drink. ..I ...."

Shravan paused. ..

" I told him that you are marrying him only for money. ..for pct and for  the upliftment of its workers. ..I mentioned about the investments he gonna do with pct. .."

"  And. ..I told him that. ..you are in love with someone. ..I told him that you have planned to elope after marriage once he confirm with the pct  investment. .."

  Sumo's eyes brimmed with tears. ..she looked him furiously. ..

"   is there anything left untold. . shravan. ."

He simply stood as rooted. He couldn't face her eyes. ..

" shravan. ..I was ashamed to say that I too loved you. ..am I money minded. .? "

She had been shocked with his words. .though pct was her life goal...she stood with her head up in ups and downs of pct 's growth. ..she raised her finger in front of him. ..

" And you have detained my character ...shravan. ..do you know  about the true love. .? If you love a person truly, you can't bear them shattering. ..you will find your happiness on theirs. ..i am sure. ..you didn't love me. ..if you loved me truly, you wouldn't have disastered my reputation. ..it was not to retain me. ..it was to revenge your mother. .."

She collapsed by crying. ..shravan stepped to hold her. ..

"Stop there shravan.
.don't even think to come near me...I am ashamed to say you as my friend. ..you are nothing to me. ..  neither a friend  nor a husband ..I am ashamed ..."  she cried so badly. ..

Shravan could do nothing but to see her pain and heartbreak. ..

" do you know shravan. ..though, I was angry with you because of our court wedding yet I decided to be a loyal wife. ..but. ..what have you done to me. ..how I will get my reputation back. ..you broke my trust shravan. ..you played with my self respect. .."

" listen shravan. ..henceforth, we are apart. ..I live in MM   only for  nanu. ..but. .never have a dream that I will forgive you. .."

Sumo was yet to go. ..

" sumo. ..I knew I was wrong. ..I did this because I loved you. ..I  am sorry. ..I am ready to bear the punishment. ..Please forgive me. .
"

  Sumo didn't mind his words. ..her broken heart didn't have a second thought to forgive him. ..shravan held her wrist. ..

" sumo. ..no matter how long it takes. ..I will wait for you to feel my love. .."

Sumo left his hand and went to the car. ..

After reaching house. ..sumo went to room with anger. ..shravan followed her with the purchased items. ..ramnath who had just returned noticed them with painful eyes. ..

Later, sumo came to kitchen to get water. she saw ramnath at the living room. .she knew well that he don't like her. ..hence she looked the earth when he looked her. .

" sumo. .."

Ramnath called her. .sumo went near him. .

" suman beta. ..I saw you were angry with shravan. ..I exactly don't know why. ..it's your personal issue. ..i shouldn't mind. .but. . I want to tell you one thing. ..yes. ..I didn't liked you frankly only because of nirmala. ..now, I agree with you. ..your love is stronger than me. ..you were married now. .I want a promise from you. ..I loved shravan more than me. ..whatever I did, it was for his happiness. .."

"  I have earned lot of money, material, property, reputation... everything .though I reared him sophisticated, he prefered to be simple. ..I bought everything he needed except his mother's love. ..I loved him more than his mother but not like his mother. .."

" Beta. ..when he told me that he was in love with you. ..I decided to make you  stay  away only because of nirmala. ..I wouldn't bear if shravan abandon me. ..I had a guilt somewhere that I betray my son with his love. ..now, I feel relaxed. .."

" Beta. ..promise me. ..you would be a mother to him. ..that's all I wanted. ..Make him the happiest man in the world. .."

Sumo was actually scared to see ramnath. ..but she was stunned to hear his words from heart. ..she had tears in her eyes out of joy. ..

" Papa. ..don't worry. ..I will be a mother to him. ..I will make him the happiest person. ..but. . . I need sometime. .."

"  I can understand beta. .." He patted her back gently and wished her good night. ..

" go sleep. ..it's already late. ..good night. .."

" goodnight papa. .."

She too wished and left to the room. ..how ironical. ..sumo was not ready to accept shravan even as her friend, but she had promised that she would be a mother for him. ....

Sumo saw shravan  sleeping in the couch so calmly. ..but this time, she was blazing inside. ..she wanted to kick him like anything.

She wanted to grasp  his gorgeous hair to make him winced with pain, she wanted to slap him heavily,  she wanted to break his lengthy bones  .. ..she clasped her fingers as she could not do what she had imagined. ...she slammed into bed to sleep. ...
