Sumo's pov :

 
  I sipped the hot coffee. .it glided down my throat bit by bit sometimes sweeter, sometimes bitter. ..like all the memories I had with shravan malhothra. ..

  
   It wasn't a big deal when I entered the classroom successfully without any senior 's eye on me. ..

     " thank you so much. .."

I thanked him sincerely. ..it seemed that he didn't bathered much. ..He left to his class with his branded smile. ..

      I  didn't worried much about him as I was gelled to my classmates easily. ..I didn't see him again in the premises. .perhaps, I didn't look for him. .?

 
I preferred to go to college  so early to escape from the seniors. ..it continued till the fresher's day. ...

No way I could escape then. ..

It was the fresher's day when we faced all  our seniors. ..

 
  And it was the day when I really knew who he was. ..

    We were asked to pick a pre prepared notes randomly. ..and do what it asked for. ..

     " Miss. Suman Tiwari. ."

I shivered to here my name. ..I stepped towards the senior who was holding the box. ..

The box, that gonna decide my fate. ..

I took one of the rolled papers with trembling hands. ..I unwrapped it and almost fainted...

  " read it loud, girl. .."

My senior said to me amused. ..I looked her with scare. ..she wiggled her brows. ..this itself created a huge fear ball in me. ..

  I had no option but to read it loud. ..

" I  have to propose Mr. shravan malhothra. .."

  I looked the crowd that was filled with pin drop silence. ..

   My stomach crushed  with anonymous creatures. ..now, who's this shravan malhothra. ..
Whether I have to do as they said. .? If I refuse, I may encounter with troubles till my final year. ..my grey matters warned me. ...

  I squeezed my eyes shut and was ready to go. ..

    Then, I saw him. ..coming towards me with his obvious radiant smile. ...

     'Shravan malhothra? '

   My heart bulged out to witness his steady gait. ..He really worth more than hundred proposals. ..I Continued to stare at him. ..He almost neared me. ..

" no. ..shravan. ..she need not be. .."

   My senior girl stopped him. ..I looked her baffled. ..

    was I disappointed. .?

  " It  must be written mistakenly. ..leave it. .."

Her eyes were filled with intense jealous. ..

   As usual, he didn't react much. ..He jerked his shoulders and turned to leave. ..

  " wait shravan. ..we have to give her an alternative task. ..miss suman. .call him ... brother and introduce yourself. .."

She smirked at me. ..

I sighed as I was protected from the embarrass ...

   I stepped down to him. ..

Calling him by the word brother wasn't much difficult for me. ..I happily rendered my hands at him. ..

" hello brother. ..I am suman Tiwari. ..first year BBA. .."

    He did a formal handshake and smiled. ..

" shravan malhothra. ..final year BBA. ..friends. .?"

   His warmth passed through my veins  and hit my heart. ..His smile sparkled a fire in me. ..

   I nodded on the spot. ..but felt bad later ,for calling him brother. .. 

 
    Even now, I couldn't find any reason why I felt so. ..may be I was attracted to him. ..an infatuation. .?

      My college days started to roll. ..

   In my first year, I started my everyday after seeing him.. we never conversed ...at times, we used to smile when we faced each other directly. ..

  I began to feel my days to be empty whenever he was absent to college. ..

  I started to wait for him, to see him, to smile at him. ..

    I felt myself to be an idiot. ..because, he was the prince charm of the entire college. ..Every girl wanted to be a friend of him at least. ..

   He was gentle, quite and intelligent in studies too. .He had never been a problem to anyone. ..He focused only his studies. ..

   In my view, he was the biggest problem in my life. ..I didn't know how I was lost to him. ..I could neither leave my feelings as just an attraction nor take it as a serious one. ..

     Things were going on their own. ...I let myself to go with the stream. .I never stopped looking at him. ..

    That's a autumn morning. ..that day, I had a revision test. ..I parked my scooty at parking lot and hurriedly leapt to the stairs. ..

   ' I have to see bro before entering to the exam hall. ..after all, he's my lucky champ. ..'

  I fixed  my thoughts. ..at once, i knocked my head   heavily. ...

'Brother. .? Is he really a brother to you. .?stop fooling yourself sumo. ..'

    Yes. ..I was right. ..I was fooling myself by cleverly concealing my feelings under the word ' bro '

First I have to stop calling him bro. ..I determined myself and hurried my way. ..

  " suman. .."

I stopped by hearing his voice. ..

'Bro. ..issshhhh. ..sumo. ..shravan...shravan  malhothra. .'

I turned with a flourishing smile. ..

  " suman. ..it would be helluva tough job for you. ..but, I need to do it now. ..Hold your breath. .."

My heartbeat raced between my ribs. ..what's the need. .?and what he's up to. .?

  I fixed my gaze on him. ..

  " suman. ..I love you. .."
