Shravan was at the cafeteria. ..this has been his practice since a month.  whenever he wanted to refresh , he visited the cafeteria and now, the waiter boy has become a good friend of shravan. In the same way, shravan was sipping the cinnamon flavoured coffee which is a bit bitter , like his life.

     While enjoying the coffee, shravan saw a couple who were fighting at each other. ..shravan was looking at them calmly. By the time, the fight turned into a tight hug. ..they apologised to each other .shravan was wondered at their behaviour. How could they act negatively and positively in a very short period.

   The waiter might have understood shravan s jerk.

Waiter : sir. ..they are our regular customers. ..an adorable couple too. .whenever they had misunderstanding, they used to do this. ..we got used to it. .. (he smiled )but sir, true love forgives anything ...am I right .? Misunderstanding  is the worst kind of separation a couple may have. ..by the way, have a nice day sir. ..

   He sighed and left. Actually, he was advicing shravan  on his  desperate state. The one and only reason is sumo. ..sumo was behaving strangely after pushkar preethi s engagement. ..at first, shravan thought that she might be under stress in handling pct and wedding issues at one go.

   But, after Aditya 's arrival, shravan spotted fault in Sumo's every act. Shravan felt that sumo is avoiding him particularly. Aditya was a college friend of sumo and pushkar. In that case, shravan ' s hands were tied to do anything.

   Even today, the mehandi function was going on. ..shravan didn't want to be there and just left. That too was  a positive thing. ..now, shravan had the words. ..

" true love can forgive anything "

Shravan   decided to give a try.

Malhothra mansion :

   Shravan was wandering around the his room. ..He called sumo, after a long thought with a lot of  positivity.

   " Tring. ..Tring. ..tring. .."

Shravan :sumo. .. (actually, he was calling the name with all the love. )

Other end : shravan. .? Preethi here. Di went outside to finish some work. ..any thing important. ?

Shravan :  at this late night. ? That too lonely. ?

Shravan was at worries in a short time.

Preethi : no shravan. .don't worry. ..Di went with Aditya. .

Shravan s mind drained all his positivity which he had for sumo. ..an uncontrollable rage occupied his mind. ..He cut the call and threw away the phone. ..

" why sumo. .? "

His out bursted shout hit the walls hugely. ..

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

  Shravan was working on his files. ..kamini chachi was in a try to add more charm to pushkar. Lala ji. ..as usual, teasing her.

Though, shravan was concentrating on the files. .His thoughts raced backwards to yesterday's incident. shravan consoled himself that there was nothing wrong with sumo to go out with Aditya. .after all , he was her friend. .no matter what happens, I had to rectify our misunderstanding. ..He said to him determined.

 
    Sumo : lala ji. .. (she entered the house with a hesitation )

Lala ji :  oh. ..Suman puthar. Come in. .

   Lala ji excited to see sumo since he loved her and her dishes.

Sumo : chachi ji. ..this is the sacred ribbon that should be worn by all the women. I came to give it to you. .

Lala ji :   oh. ..even I could wear. .

Telling that, lala ji made kamini and pushkar to wear the ribbon. ..He tied to himself. While all these conversations are going on, shravan kept his eyes on files. He didn't even let her to whether he was there or no.

Lala ji insisted shravan to tie the ribbon. He tried to do it by himself. But, failed. He looked lala ji who was busy with a call. He didn't want her to help. Hence, he kept on trying. Finally, sumo came forward herself to tie ..even then, she carefully avoided his eyes. So as shravan. He looked at the floor, and his eyes found a treasure in Sumo's mehandi designed palms. It was a "S"..the alphabet, that shraman  share in their  names.

    He had a sharp look at her eyes. As she knew his question, he turned away. Shravan held her wrist, and showed the "s " to her. His eyes were throwing a query that left unanswered .she pulled her hand and yet to go.

Vandy called sumo to help her at the kitchen. While doing that, Aditya entered the kitchen, by sniffing the  aroma .He stand at the other side, and took Sumo's hands to see her mehandi design.

Aditya : oye .sumo. ..it's beautiful. Your to be husband will love you more it seems. Wait. ..what is this "s " meant for. .?

Shravan :  It's shravan. ..S for shravan. ..right sumo. .?

 
   Actually, after seeing his name on her hands, he was boosted with love and naughtiness. However, she won't accept that it's shravan s name. So. .He decided to act diplomatic. When Aditya entered kitchen. ..He too followed. ..

Aditya : sumo. ..is it so. ?

Before sumo could answer, he sneaked in. .

Shravan :  then. ..whom do you think ..

Aditya saw sumo with disbelief. Sumo cleared her throat, to speak.

  Sumo : actually. ..

Shravan threw a seductive smile at sumo and winked mischievously.
That's it. She couldn't swipe her vision from him and blabbering to Aditya. ...she nodded a plus mark repeatedly that left Aditya even more confused.

Shravan 's pov :
    

      That was  the haldi function. I was expecting sumo curiously to see her face after the previous day s incident. I carefully sent Aditya to Tiwari killa  as he would be the mess creator between us.

   I peeped out at the entrance again, there she was. ..my gorgeous lady. I wore a widened smile in my face. I welcomed her by saying namaste. .she looked me stangely.

    She stepped inside and banged with a kid. .her beautiful saree was dotted with icecream flavours that the kid had with him. Oh. ..that's all I want. .not bad actually, god is helping me tremondously.

   Kamini chachi told sumo to clean up the mess. And sumo looked at me annoyingly.

Sumo's pov :

I was really astonished to see shravan s behaviour. I knew well that he loves me a lot.  I didn't expect his public display of love. .frankly, I was enjoying. My dear khadoos was cho chweet with his smile. ..the wink he showed at me. . oh my goodness!I felt a giant roller coaster in my belly.

  Anyways, he knew that I love him. The misunderstanding between us got cleared. Henceforth, I should stay away from him till preekar's wedding. After that, let me see. ..I sighed with mixed feelings.

    I scared to go to malhothra mansion. But, no way to escape. Mamiji told me strictly that I have to do the ritual. Somehow, I kept my mind in courage line as I knew well that Aditya would glued to me.

  The situation was tumbled down now. I saw smiling,handsome shravan at doorstep. I accepted his namaste. I didn't know that he was actually mean it or teasing me. My eyes wandered in search of Aditya. How ironical. ..

    In the meantime, a boy dashed on me and messed my saree with icecream. I need to clean it. I looked up and searched shravan. He was busy with pushkar. I went to Vandy bhabhi 's room. .It was engaged. In every other way, no room is vacant. Obviously, I had to choose shravan 's room. No. . I won't. What if, he comes there in between. Terrace. ..yeah. ..there is a tap. I could use that. I viewed the group for shravan. He was not there. Might be busy .With a smile, I stepped  stairs .

   Shravan 's pov :

     I knew sumo would prefer the terrace rather my room.  Before she could think, I sneaked in to the terrace. She started washing the cloth. she finished and yet to go down.

   I pulled her at wrist. She was  surprised to see me there.

Shravan :  Sumo. ..Please. .listen to me. .what's wrong with you. I can't imagine a life without you. You knew well that I called you to the cafeteria to propose. Why you are avoiding me. It's paining a lot. I can't overcome your rejection. I am sorry what I did to you in the past. Please forgive me. True love forgives anything. I wish to be with you till my life. Why can't you understand. ..

  I proposed her with the heart full thoughts that I had for her.

Sumo :  shravan. ..I knew you love me. .there was no any mistake on you too. The mistake was mine. .as a middle class girl. Yes. I love you. I omitted you by knowing that it will hurt you. In other way, I had no option. I scared that I may fell for you. But  I can't do that. Preethi s  wedding is important for me than my feeling.

    saying all this, I turned to see shravan. He was not there. I scared that again he might have misunderstood me.

Shravan :  hello madam. ..look down .I won't leave you so easily.
(He was lying on the chill floor )

Sumo :  shravan. .what you are doing. .?Get up.

Shravan : no. ..I am protesting against you. Until you accept my love, I  won't get up.

   Sumo's pov :

I could feel his love for me in his eyes. And he mean it. But. ..preekar s wedding is vital now. ..I tried to convince him. He pulled my hands and I fell exactly supine on him. He sneaked his hands at my waist. ..and pulled me close to him. Our nose tips were snuggling. Our lips were at close distance. He wishpered to my lips.

"Sumo. .We had waited for more than years. .even more wait was not fair at all. Consider me as your love. .l love you. ..will you. .. "

  Shravan could see heart full of love for him at her eyes. He knew well that she was struggling with his proximity. Instead of happiness,shravan saw downpour of tears in her eyes. She controlled herself and stood up.

"Shravan. ..I can't hide my love for you. But. ..now, preethi s wedding is more important. So sorry shravan for hurting you. "

Shravan cupped Sumo's face. "so. ..family comes first in front of our love. .?Sumo. ..try to understand. ..we both had involved in this case. .you want me to suffer. ..you want me to loose you. ..I think, this itself is too late. ..why don't you trust me. ..why don't you share your problem with me. .."

   Sumo smiled vaguely. "no shravan. ..I trust you but I can't share my problem with you. ..it's a punishment for me. .."

    Saying that she left MM. Shravan had a deep thinking. In either way he noticed her mentioning preethi s wedding.

__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

  That was a private party organised by shravan. .

" welcome my dear friends and family. .this party is not only to cherish preekar s wedding ...there is a surprise too. .."

Shravan spoke in front of all. He asked nanaji and his papa to come forward. Honestly, all had no idea where he would land.

   "Papa. ..Nanaji. you both are my mentor and I respect you. .I knew it may be wrong, but I have no other way .Will you allow me to marry sumo. .?"

    From the beginning, sumo was at confusion about shravan s act. Now she was left dumbfounded. Her vision vaguely due to tears. .her heart shivered at the soar of happiness. ..

Nanaji accepted shravan s request with happiness. ..ramnath had no other choice had to nod positively.

"Here I introduce my to be wife. .miss .Suman Tiwari. ..an independent, family centred, kindhearted, selfless, gorgeous. ..sumo. ..will you marry me. .?"

Shravan  asked cheeringly, Sumo nodded yes by witnessing ramnath. ...finally she won. ...her love won. ..all her good  qualities that were portrayed  as negative by ramnath was demolished by shravan himself. ...

After all, it's true love. ...right. .?
