Dear all. ..

  I was overwhelmed with your responses for this tiny story. ..to be frank, I wasn't sure of writing this track ...on other hand, I couldn't stop me thinking on the single knot repeatedly. ..

    The incident behind this tiny track is a birthday party which I have attended. ..

  During the party, a little girl asked me for  cake. ..i cut and gave it to her...immediately after five minutes, she came again asking for a cake. ..

  Being a strict mother. .(.!!!), I  told the girl not to eat too much of sweets. ..my sister held my hand. ..

" sissy. ..she's not the one you gave. ..they are identical twins. .."   I sheepishly smiled and managed the situation. ..(imagine this poor soul )...

  There sparkled this idea. ..

Am I boring you. .? Let's go to the  story then. ..

    I wrote this entire track at Suman's pov. ..now, let this epilogue be in Shravan's pov. ..

   Here's a single stroke of this story in a nutshell. ...

------------------------------------------------------

         Shravan's pov :

     I was clueless how beautiful she's until I see her blushing. ..

  She was miraculously stunning ...While she stepped in with her mom, I was literally fell down at her beauty. ..she sat beside my mom and throughout she chose to look at the floor. ..

   I had an opportunity to see her for  every wink. ..and I didn't missed a single chance. ..I was carving to see her reaction after seeing me and bhaiya. ..

And. ..yes. . I did. ..she was  surprised  beyond the world. ..the next moment was a sheer blissful to watch. ..

   " oho. ..twins. .? "

" how would you identify them. ? "

" are they both identical with character too. .? "

   Her relatives shot their queries to my mom. ..

  I didn't took that conversation to much concern...I was watching her so lovingly and my memories backtracked to the day when I met her for the very first time. ..

   It was the reopening day for the juniors. ..it would be fun around the college with ragging stuffs. ..I was not fond of such things. ..hence, I chose to  stay alone to go through with the previous day s  notes. ..

   " excuse me. ..can you please accompany me till my classroom. .? "

  I broke up from the book. ..I was surprised to see her.as I know well, she's new. .must be a first year student. ..

     Though she had asked my help boldly, I could see her nervousness at her eyes. ..

  I did what she wanted. ..on that time, I had no idea that I would fell in love with her  ....

       On fresher's day, I got to know her name. ..Suman Tiwari. ...

   When she was asked to propose me as a task. ..I didn't had any feelings. ..it was  the same when she called me ' Brother '...

    Within a week, she had become the star of the  batch. ..she was the talk of my classmates. ..it was her beauty and intelligence that made the boys to have an eye on her. ..

  
   I was a deaf to their gossips. ..i had learnt that she's a daughter of a lawyer couple who were one of the big shots of the city. .. it wouldn't be wrong, if I say, our boys had become the bodyguards of suman Tiwari. ..

   On the other side, she wasn't disturbed by anyone. ..she had her own way to live the life. ..

  
    It was a evening of a weekend. . I went to the near by  orphanage to donate. ..there I heard  a familiar feminine laugh. ..

   I followed the laugh and find suman playing with the children. ..Firstly, I looked her in disbelief. ..because, at her age, girls would prefer to while away at malls and cinemas. ..

  She stood unique in my view. ..for the very first time, she seemed to be beautiful ...later, I came to know that she was a regular visitor who brought smile in their faces. ..

It was the point when I started to stake out her. ..

On my mission. .. I found  out that she's secretly observing me. ..

     To a note, she used to park her scooty beside my pulsar. ..she used to choose the just opposite seat to me in canteen. ..

   My orders in the canteen were copied by her. ..hence, my favourites had bocome hers too. ..

    I wasn't sure of her feelings. ..

I was late to the college on that day. .she hasn't seen me in the morning. .. when she met me in library accidentally ,her  face was apparently gleefull. ..her eyes moistened for a second. ..

    Though she managed to conceal it quickly, I couldn't. ..her innocent  face entitled my heart as hers. ...as days grew she had become the strongest weakness of me. ..I began to love her. ..

  I thought to wait till the exams get completed. ..

    Before that, I got an emergency call from London. ..I was asked to return immediately as my family wanted me for important reasons. ..

    I made arrangements to shift my regular course to the distance education system. ...

   I wished to say suman about my go back. ..I didn't decide to  propose her on that day. ..

   But, I couldn't stop me saying 'I love you '  to her ...

It was an orangy red morning. ..as she had model exams , she had been earlier to the college. ..I knew for some reason she love to start her day after seeing me. ..

    
While she's prancing at the stairs. ..I called her. ..

   She's  surprised. ..it was evident. ..till now, I had no idea of proposing her. ..

   Her wavey hair. ...innocent eyes. ..glossy lips. ..pure heart. ...i was  lost in to her more or less. ..

   I uttered those words. ..yes. ..I proposed her. ..she was looking at me with her large adoring eyes. ..she's utter confused at my transparency. ..

  She underwent a kind of pain when I said that I wouldn't come to the college then. ...

I hinted that I love her ...

Before I leave to London, I talked to Suman's parents about my wish. ..they're actually happy. ..it wasn't much difficult to ask my friends to take care of her as there's a tittle -tattle about my love for her. ..

   Until I reached London, I didn't know I would be away from suman for these years. ..bhaiya had met with an accident. ..I struggled to manage business and  to  support family. ..

    When we began a startup venture in Mumbai. ..bhaiya took the director post. ..

  I was yearning to see her. ..to hold her hands. ..to relish her innocent smile. ..to meet her adorable eyes. ...

   Actually, the interview was to select a secretary for me. .

  Bhaiya selected suman as he knew the  college which I had studied. ..He mailed me her biodata. ..I was literally jumping to meet her. ..

    I flew here and rushed to office. ..

   I met her in the lift ...after so many years. ..I expected her to hug me tightly. ..at least a contented smile. ..

   To my wonder,  she turned her face away. ..His innocent eyes were enraged. ..she's not even ready to look at me. ..I was shattered. ...

  On the same day evening, I dragged her with me to the dance floor . .my touch had an effect on her. ..she's back. ..I saw her heartfelt feelings for me in her eyes. ..

  
    The very next day, I understood the reason for her neglect, anger and disappointment. ..she didn't know me and bhaiya were identical twins. ..

  I decided to act hurriedly. ..now, I am here to relish her blushing  face. ..

   " Acha. ..chalo. ..let's begin. .."

  I came out of trance. ..

  Yes. ..we're going to be engaged. ..

  Amidst everyone, I knelt in front of her. ..

" suman. ..I take you to be my best friend, my faithful partner and my one true love. ..I will forever be there to laugh with you, to lift you at the tight moments, to love you unconditionally. .from this day onwards, you needn't to be alone. ..my heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. ..will you accept me to be your love. .?"

   She was speechless to my words. ..she rendered her hands to slid the ring which was the pride of our love. ..

   
   Out of everyone's cheers. ...we're engaged. ..

 
   Suman was strangely quite. ..I managed myself to barge in  her room. ..

   " suman. .."

She was busy in arranging her bangles. ..

" suman. .."

She turned to my second call. ..

" What shravan. .?"

She was angry with me. ..I jerked. ..

" mmmm. ..how dare you to call your senior by name. .?"

  I teased her. ..

" you could've stayed in college itself  if you're a senior. ..why did you come here. .."

  " because. ..I've learnt that  my jealous junior yearned to see me. .."

   " jealous. .?"  

" haan. .."

   I fueled her anger. ..

" shravan. ..just get out ..otherwise. .."

"Otherwise. ..?"

" I will kill you. .."  she rolled her eyes at me. ..

" Oh my god. ..see this injustice. ..is there anyone to save me. ..she's gonna kill me. ..Suman. ..remember ...i am your to be husband. .."

  I over acted theatrically. ..

" to be husband. .? Damn it. ..i had been living with you since I met you. ..you. ..you. .?"

" I ....I   ..?"

I induced her enrage. ..she fisted her palms and walked towards me. ..I understood her motive and started to walk away. ..

  " you're making fun of my feelings. ..you left me saying that you love me. ..I felt emptied without you. ..why you didn't contacted me. .?why you didn't cleared my confusions with your brother. .?"

 
  She chased me and I was caught at her arms. ..she started to punch me. ..

" sorry sumo. ..I was not in a situation to contact you. ..trust me. .."

At one point, she left me and stood at the window side. ..her eyes were shedding tears. ..

  I wiped her tears and said. ..

" suman. ..Please don't cry. ..everything is alright now. ..I promise you I won't leave you from now onwards. ..are you okay. .?"

 
She nodded multiple times. ..and muttered under her breath. ..

" sometimes when I say I am okay, I need you to look into my eyes, hug me tight and say -I know babe you're not. ..."

    I smiled at her tenderly. ..and looked deep into her eyes. ..

" you're not okay babe...."  I wishpered softly into her ears. ..

  
  She buried her face into my chest and sobbed. ...

" I missed you a lot shravan. .."

  I  hugged her to me closely. ..and said. ..

" I too missed you suman. ..I love you....I love you so much. .."

    I deepened my hug to show her  how badly I missed her. ..While my right hand caresses her hair. ..I pressed my lips at her shoulders. ...

   It was a moment of a   cold fire. ..a heat rain. ..a true lie. ..a silent  language . ..a sweet pain. ..a coloured blindness. ..

  A blend of emotions that   would last till their breath. ...
