Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

She went to his room to wipe makeup off because Pushkar teased. She was in the washroom when Shravan entered the room. Shravan had to change his shirt because someone accidentally dropped something on it.

"Kahan chali gayi tu? Bhaiya abhi apne room mein gaye hai, aaja, unke aate hi mil lena"
Message from Pushkar flashed on screen.

"Ye yahan kamre mein hai aur main....ugh....sumo..ab kya karu? I hope isee washroom se kaam na ho bas"
She slightly opened the door to have a look at him. She couldn't resist to have a look at him, obviously.
She peeped out to saw a shirtless with 6 packs, handsome guy who is her Shravan, the same guy who used to be thin and chashmish. She obviously went through his social media profile several times just in a day but seeing himself right in front of her, just a few meters away was very different. Her mouth was slightly open and she was kind of shocked and was unconsciously watching him change his shirt. It was obviously wrong to watch someone like this and as soon as she realized that she shut the door a little loud.
Hearing the sound Shravan walked in the direction but was stopped hearing Pushkar's voice.

"Bhaiya, chalein?"
He said from downstairs.

He went and she took a sigh of relief.

She came outside the washroom, saw that even after looking at the book, he didn't touch it.
It was placed differently as it's pages were facing the person and not the hardcover, the way it is generally placed. It was his idea.

She went to open the door to leave, but she realized that she left her phone in the bathroom. She went to take it and Shravan entered again.
She was coming out of the bathroom and he was coming in to the room and they countered each other in the middle of the room.

"Shravan"
Words came out of her mouth, she couldn't hold them back. It was just a mere whisper.

"Sumo"
He experienced the same thing.

Two childhood best friends were meeting after so long, their lives, their memories came rushing. The waits, the longings were now getting over, the hugs, the tears wanted to make their place but ah, the misunderstandings, the anger, the pain came in the way of these best friends who were head over heels in love with each other, though they didn't want to accept this but they couldn't stopped caring and thinking about each other.

He quickly realized and moved his gaze in different direction. She realized seeing him.

"I'm sorry, wo main washroom use karne aayi thi"

"Hmm"
He said and moved to his table.

"Aaaa...Hi"
She said after a while and got no response.
She thought to leave but Pushkar came.

"Arey wah, aap dono mil liye? Chalo accha hai, ab wapas aap pahle jaise ho jao aur sumo tu please bhaiya ko iss baar jaane se rok le"

"Pahle jaise kuch nahi hai chote, kuch ho bhi nahi sakta aur maine rukna chorh diya hai, chahe koi kitni hi koshish kar le"
He said this looking at Suman and she could listen to the pain in his voice.

"Kyu bhaiya, aapko iss baar yahin rukna hai, bas!"

"Haha, abhi neeche sab wait kar rahe honge, baad mein baat karenge"
He spoke to make the situation light.

"Aur haan, chote, Bahadur ji (house helper) ko keh dena meri koi bhi cheez ko galat tareeke se na rakhe, mujhe kitabein ulti bilkul pasand nahi"
He said eyeing the book shelf and then Sumo.

Flashback

Suman saw Shravan wandering around so she secretly went to him. Suman was concerned with her image in school so she doesn't used talk with him there as he was nerdy and not cool according to her group. She was famous and didn't want to ruin her image. It was immaturity of her and this she realized after Shravan went.
She went to him and like always he told her to go to library. He used to do this. Whenever he had to give something to her in school, he used to use this trick.

"Kya hai ye Shravan, mujhe library aana pasand nahi aur ye yahin sab chipata hai"
She talked to herself while going in the library.

Shravan came to help as she was unable to find it and sat pretending to tie his shoe so that no one can find out about their friendship.

"Kahan rakha hai duffer, jaldi bata"

"Tumhe kuch alag nahi lag raha iss shelf mein?"

"Aaaa..ye book, ye book ulti rakhi hai!"

She took out the book and at the last page, she found circus tickets, which he placed for her.

"Ohhhh, thank you thank you, I love it."
She said and went after rubbing her hand over his hairs.

---

"Bhaiya? Sumo? Aap dono ka ek dusre ko ghur kar maarna khatam ho gaya ho to chalein? Main Bahadur ji se kah dunga, wo dhyaan rakhenge"

"Haan chal chote, yaha ruk kar kya karna hai?!"

He both went and before exiting Shravan looked at her the last time, she also had her eyes on him.

Suman thought to leave the party without telling anyone and went to her car. She tried starting it but in one or two tries, it didn't start. She, in frustration, put her head in the steering wheel. She knew that the car is not the reason for her frustration. Her car, almost all the times, had these things going on. But she loved it so she didn't want to replace it.
The frustration of her was from herself that why didn't she realized the importance of their friendship and why couldn't she stop him from going away. Only if she knew, that he won't be coming back for years.
She kept her head like that, few tears made their way and after a while, she again tried starting her car, this time it did and she drove away.
Shravan watched this from a distance. He didn't have hate towards her but he was being driven by his anger.
