Aditya couldn't decipher anything but was sure about something that was strange... He didn't know why he felt like detached from something... For some unknown reason he kept his eyes on Suman every now and then...

   Throughout the travel, Suman was sitting silent, clasping her hands together... Leaning over the window frame, she was looking something far away..yet, her eyeballs were fixed in one point... It seemed that she was frozen and was at an alternate universe.... Suddenly, a lone teardrop escaped from her eyes... At times, she smiled...

Fighting with scare and awe, Aditya continued to observe her...

He thought that it was not fair to disturb her as she was going through emotions. Moreover, Neeraj was following them as a fact of strength...

He will talk to me....! He will smile at me!!!!

Suman's words revoked his thoughts... He never seen her  emotionally broken... And, now...he himself developed a kind of excitement to see Shravan and to know more about his relationship with Suman...above all, he wanted to know more about the ISRO's tie with Shravan... To be Frank, his enquire nature stood up high...

  Aditya walked with Neeraj towards the ICU block...

    As per suman's instructions already the block was guarded with police officials..some with uniform while others in casual attire....

Accepting the wishes of the policemen, Neeraj walked fast and Aditya matched his speed..

In a thought, Neeraj stopped and surprised to see Suman at the end of the corridor...she was hesitating as though she's going to be torn apart emotionally...

    Neeraj went to her and grasped her shoulders...

" Suman...you have faced so many  difficulties to see Shravan like this... Then, what's the point in hesitating...? Come with me"

He didn't expect her to reply... He made her to walk with him...

   There was only a door now that separates suman and Shravan... Her heartbeat was galloping that she could hear her heart thumping loudly... Literally, she felt like racing down the street in frigid air... Her chest was heavy... Each breath was a knife in her chest...

Two more steps....

Her legs were growing weaker and more rubbery with every step...

Wizzzz...

Neeraj pushed the door to open...

Next moment. ... He left suman and approached shravan hurriedly...

Shravan was sitting on the bed, resting his head on the bedframe supported with pillows... IV  line was intact and ECG was connected to the monitor... His head bandage was reduced in size and his wounds were dry and medicated...His right hand was supported with a sling bandage to his shoulder... He looked weak...He was  sleeping with the effect of the medicines...

He was wide awaken when Neeraj opened the door...or,  may be the intuition in him would have awaken him that Suman was there...

  Neeraj saw Shravan with pitiful eyes...he touched his head softly...

" Shravan...I am one of the reasons why you are here... forgive me man..."

He said from heart in guilt ridden....

Shravan tried to smile...

" Not at all uncle... you are my suman's father... How could you do anything wrong to me ?"

He stammered to speak continuously...

Neeraj patted his shoulders...

Although Shravan was talking with Neeraj, his eyes were fixed at Suman in the door step... His eyes were inviting her to come near him..  His lips were quivering out of packed emotions...

Suman stepped towards Shravan in slow pace... As she took each step, her eyes began to sprung tears...soon, her subtle cry turned to wild sob...

Neeraj let her to cry out her agony..

  She was beside him now...she knelt down and cupped his face...

" Sshhravaan...".

She gathered all her energy to call his name ...still, her voice chocked...

  " Suman...I thought I was dead..." He said and  Tears threatened to come out of his eyes... Literally, he spoke for the first time to her...

  She looked him up...

" Issss hhhh"

She hissed and patted his shoulders...

" Shravan...I was broken and shattered without you...seeing you smiling and talking is like,  I got life again.. "

She spoke  in-between crying...

" Shravan...I felt like a mother who's seeing her baby first time... I wanted to embrace you with all my love"

She embraced him to her and there's no way she is going to stop her cry... Shravan couldn't control himself and stroked her back fondly...

" Suman...I am with you..and I won't leave you for any reason"

He promised...

The heat of emotion was in the air until they settle down... Neeraj wasn't ready to disturb them and settled on the couch with a magazine...

   Shravan  tried to get up,but struggled...

She made him to lie down again... He held her arms and threw a suspected look at Aditya who was standing in front of him and witnessing all the happenings...

Suman shrunk her brows and assured Shravan that Aditya was harmless...

" Suman...I have to talk with you personally...I was...I was..."

He gulped and tried to speak his destiny...

" Shravan... I know you and everything is under control...now,what you need is ,rest..."

She adjusted his pillows and blankets...

" Shravan..we need your  answers for so many questions..but, you are very weak and ...I don't want to spoil my happiness immediately... please...will you let me be with you for some time?"

She asked with fake anger and pouted at him...

He smiled heartily...

" I love you Shravan"

She whispered softly and winked at him...

Shravan sighed in relief.. He smiled at her and pointed Neeraj and Aditya 's presence...

Aditya's eyes didn't miss the duo's gestures... Momentarily, he walked towards Suman and saluted...

" Excuse me...I will stay outside..."

He didn't stand there at the next second...In a wink, he rushed outside..

Now only Suman realized that Aditya was there and was watching them...

This is going to be tough for you Aditya..but, this is the truth...!!

Suman thought... She  felt bad for Aditya and believed that Aditya would be okay soon...

Aditya looked the blank wall that rose high infront of him... Undoubtedly, now he had understood their relationship... He understood why Suman  involved herself in every aspect of the case...

 
From the day he met her, he was attracted to her courage, intelligence and bold stance... He wanted to know about her and to work with her more... probably... that's what he meant for?!?!

Surely, Aditya was broken inside... But it wasn't hurting...perhaps, he wasn't loving her at all and it was a kind of infactuation?!?! Or , admiration?!?!

He  tried to convince him....
