It has been a month since shravan left to London. Suman started to get along with the usual routines. Yet, she never stopped her habit of checking the phone for his messages though she knew that it won't happen. Any ways  pushkar consoled her that shravan was undergoing some courses and obviously he would have a little time to spend with. ...will it take more than a minute to call me or message me. ..am I not even worth for a minute for him. ..she fumed inside. ...

   "  Ek baat batau

If you want to be happy,

     Then bhool jaa usey

Jo bhool gaya tujhe "

And, this happens almost every day in her life nowadays. Her every day slogan " move on  sumo " but those words sounded from throat not from the heart. ....you desperate girl 😣😣😣enough of today's drama. ...just get ready to work. ...now. ....

Di. ..preethi came to the room. .."today evening we have our friend s birthday party. ..you know well that ma won't allow me to go. ..Plz join with me Di. ...she ll let me go with you. ..Plz Di. ...."

"My dear pretty preethi. ...even I need a break. ...let's go. ..happy. "
Both the sisters hugged and planned for evening's  party. ...

As always, sumo preferred a simple and gorgeous pink maxi with a light makeover. ..although her black hair was tied in an messy bun, a few irreverent strands danced a spellbinding kathak in the wind. Her face was flawless. Her piercing magnetic eyes and bronzed skin were an invitation for jealousy from any other girl. She looked like a cindrella of the evening. ..

Preethi on the other side chosen a dazzling red maxi with her own way of make ups. ..

  The two pretty ladies reached the party venue. Surprisingly, pushkar was there. ..

Sumo :  pushkar. ....what r u doing here. ..it's preethi  friend s birthday party. ..right. ..(sumo looked both in a confusing look )

Pushkar : Sumo. ..actually it's my friends party. ..you won't come if I tell you the truth. .that's why we had a plan like this. ...and sumo. ...u need a partner to enter into the party. ...somehow I managed a partner for the party. ...There he is. ...Plz adjust. ..hhh mm  .... have a great time. ..come preethi. .let's go. .. (they both went inside as couples )

     
Sumo had a look on the old man who was standing aside. The thick spectacles has screened his eyes. ..He had a shaggy beard that was trimmed neatly. His checked shirt hardly tried to cover his overgrown belly. ....though he looked genuine, sumo had a disapproved looked on him. ...

Sumo s pov :  pushkar. ..you stupid moron. ..you made me to stuck with the situation. ...I can't go home without preethi. ..what shall I do now. ..I will kill you if you ever been to my hand. ...but for now. .I have no choice. ...

  Sumo joined him to go inside the party hall. ...already the party was on. ...music, food, dance, fun. ...except preethi and pushkar. Sumo was tired in searching them. She rested in a couch near the dance floor.

    "Miss. Beautiful ....may I dance with you. .." Sumo turned towards the voice. The same old man..." sorry. ..not interested "Sumo said irritatedly.

    "See. .We  entered into the party as couples. .now it seems that you are not happy. ..why don't you join me for a dance. ..believe me. ..you will feel better. ..."the old man insisted her again.

"I said no " Sumo declined him politely yet strongly. But  the naughty Oldman made her to stand and dragged her t the dance floor momentarily. ...she had no any other choice but to dance with him. ..He swirled her into circles and made her to be close with him. ..He touched her back with his left hand and intertwined his right fingers with hers to  start a couple dance. ..sumo was much annoyed by this Oldman now. ..by dancing like that, they reached the corner of the hall where nobody left. ..This is it. .she can't take it anymore. ....

  Sumo :  just stop it. ..you old man. ...how dare you to touch me. ..don't you have morality that how to behave with a strange girl who is at your daughters age....If you are not an old man, I could have slapped you. .. ( sumo s face turned to red in anger )

Oldman :  chill baby. ..honestly, it's hard to tell you that how pretty you are even in anger. ...I might be old. ..but still a bachelor. ..age s just a number. ..It have my decipline. Now, I propose you from the bottom of my heart. ..It love you baby. ..will you be my girlfriend. ...

Sumo : you. ...stupid old man. ..how dare you to propose me. ..do you ever heard the name "shravan malhothra " one among the best lawyers. ..He s my to be husband. ...and you know what he is capable of. ...a misbehaving case on you. ...more than that. ..do you have any idea about his slap. ..its all enough. ...He will tear you into pieces if he knows that you have touched and proposed his own sumo. ..just leave alive before I ran out of my control. ...l leave you simply because of ur age. .. (she shouted at him with rage )

The old man mumbled "shravan malhothra. ...your to be husband. ...are you sure. .."

Sumo :we love each other. ..for God sake please leave. ... ( she turned to leave  ).

There is a long pause of silence. ......

"Well .....in that case, I too love you my dear to be wife "

Sumo  surprised to hear the voice and she turned to see him.  The old man has changed into handsome  ravishing  smile shravan 😀😀😀. Sumo s world paused for a second and she just ran to him who invited for a hug by widely spreading his hands. ....

  The unforgettable instant that a soul, clinging on to the purest memory of its previous life, longs for . the moment which only a few lucky men experience in their life. The moment when she enters his life. ...
Preethi and pushkar looked them with cheer that how a childhood friendship turned into a eternal love. ...❤
