DESTINIED : SuVan FF

8.

Suman's POV

I woke up due to the sunlight falling on my eyes, only to have a throbbing pain in my head.

Ugh. Why does my head hurt so much?

I noticed that I am still in my lehenga, but this time my blouse is also covered in blood.

How?

Oh, wait. I remember. I hugged Shravan and his kurta was covered in blood, so yeah.

I saw a glass of lemon water and a note kept beside.

Good morning, have this lemon water and get freshen up. Come to Malhotra house and then we will go to the hospital. I love you.

I smiled at the note and drank the lemon water. While freshing up I remembered about the house.

It's sold.

I have to empty it by afternoon.

I quickly got ready and went to the Malhotra house only to see Devraj uncle reading newspaper.

"Suman, good you woke up. Come sit here." He said and I gave him an awkward smile and sat on the other side of the sofa.

"Suman, I wanted to talk to you dear." He said keeping his newspaper aside.

"Oh okay." I said.

"I... I wanted to apologize." He said.

"For what uncle? I am the one who is at fault." I said.

"No dear, you are not."

"I am. I know this and I accept it. Uncle what happened 7 years ago wasn't your fault. It was your company's fault, you weren't the one who made vests of cheap quality." I said and took a deep breath, all those memories flooding back in front of my eyes.

"It is my fault Suman. I should have checked the vests. I should have--" I let his sentence hang in the air.

"Uncle, you should have checked the vests. I agree with that, but I also don't hold you responsible. These past 7 years I have only experienced pain. I thought.... I thought by fighting this case I am giving justice to papa, to all the soldiers who lost their life that day. But I was wrong, I was so wrong. What I want to do, I always do the opposite of it. I don't know why." I chuckled and wiped a lone tear that escaped my eyes.

"Come here." He said and I went towards him and sat down on the floor near him.

"Come sit, beside me." He said and I nodded in no.

"No, I like this." I said and he caressed my hair just how my father used to do.

"You grew up Suman." He stated.

"I know. I had to handle everything by my own, after all Maa-Papa weren't there to guide me." I said.

"I heard about the house." He said and I looked down.

"Suman, you can tell me anything you want. I am like your father only." He said and smiled at me.

'I am like your father only.'

Those words were enough for me to break down.

"I... I don't want to sell that house, uncle. My papa, my mumma and my daadu lived there and now... now Chachi sold it just for money." I cried and he hugged me.

"Don't cry dear. I will do something, don't worry. I am here right? I will do something." He said and I composed myself.

"I have to empty that house by afternoon." I said.

"I know, Shravan told me. And I want you to come here, live with us." He said and I looked at him shocked.

"What?"

"You heard me. Come live with us. You are like our daughter only." He said and I was on the verge of crying when Shravan came.

Shravan's POV

I saw them talking. I saw how Suman broke down and papa comforted her. I am happy that papa accepted her.

Before Suman could start crying again, I want there to lighten up the mood.

"Papa, why are you making this woman cry early in the morning?" I said and went beside Suman.

"She is yours, you look after her. I am going for a walk." Papa said and left us alone.

But wait, I did notice a blush on Suman's face when he said 'she is all yours'.

"So ma'am, what would you like for breakfast?" I asked her putting my arms around her waist pulling her closer.

"Shravan! Someone will come." She said and tried to get out of my embrace. But I'm also Shravan Malhotra, I won't let her go that easily.

"Oh, come on! No one is here. Chachu is at hospital, papa just went for a walk in front of your eyes. No one will come." I said.

"Okay." She said and wrapped her hands around my neck.

"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked again.

"You can cook?" She asked.

"Don't underestimate Shravan Malhotra, he can do anything. And by anything I mean anything." I said making her blush.

"Suman?"

"Hmm?"

"You will live with us, right?" I asked.

"I will." She said and kisses my cheeks.

"Now let's go and make some breakfast. I have to go to hospital also and check everything on Avni." She said and we both made our way towards the kitchen.
