Shraman Short Stories - EDKV

The Lost Memories: 1

Outside the Reunion Party:

The story begins right after Shravan insults Sumo at the Reunion Party. Sumo runs to her car to get as far away from Shravan as possible. She opens the car door, sits inside and slams it shut. All of the memories come rushing back into her mind. How Shravan had purposely got her excited about this party, making her soar high in the sky and then, all at once dragging her down into the dirt. Sumo put her head on the steering wheel and started crying.

Shravan was fed up with this party. The only reason he had thrown it was to get back at Sumo. To make her feel the same way that he had felt when she ignored him. He had no other reason to stay so he left for the Malhotra Mansion, his next goal was to leave India entirely. There was no way that he would be able to stay anywhere near that "selfish" girl.

Sumo was crying in her car for about 20 minutes now when her phone beeps.

Preeti's text: Di, where are you? We are all waiting.....Please come soon.

Sumo: Oh shoot, I completely forgot about dropping everyone at the airport! Now your done Sumo!! Hurry, Hurry (talking to herself)

She whipped off all of her tears and set out driving in full speed trying to get back to the Tiwari Killa so that she would be able to get her family to the airport at the right time!!

Tiwari Killa:

Manju Mami is going on, giving a lecture to the rest of the family about Suman's carelessness. The rest of the family is helplessly listening to her ramble while they stood there with all of their luggage in their hands.

Manju: I told you to book a taxi!! But no, all you guys do is believe Suman's sweet talking and listen to whatever she says!! Now I will be late for my flight and my poor son will be waiting for me.

Nanu: Manju, you know that Suman is a responsible girl! Some emergency might have come up and that is why she is running late. (trying to explain patiently)

Mamaji: Yes Manju, Suman never behaves like this, you know that right? It must have been something serious and that is why she hasn't returned yet.

Manju: Emergency?! Emergency?! Well why do these "emergencies" always come up when I am trying to meet my son!

Preeti: Mummy, please calm down. I think we should just call the taxi and leave. Suman di has the house keys and I will text her and tell her not to worry.

Manju: Your right Preeti, if we depend on that girl we will miss our flight.

Nanu: Ok, call the taxi. And Preeti be sure to tell Suman not to worry about us.

The Tiwari family leaves for the airport. Thankfully that catch the Taxi and reach just in time to board their flight.

Back to the Reunion Party:

Pushkar finally manages to find a date who will accompany him to enter the party. After going in he learns about the deeds that his brother has done.

Pushkar: (to himself) I can't believe you did all of this Bhaiya. You have no idea how Sumo must be feeling! I need to call her!!

Pushkar takes his phone out to call Sumo but she does not pick up. He tries a couple more times but no luck. Every single time her phone just rings but no one answers. Pushkar decides to message her. His message is sent and received but not yet seen by her, which he can tell by seeing the two white ticks.

Pushkar: (to himself) Why isn't she picking up?! I hope she is fine, she was so excited and now.......I need to go and check on her!! (Worried)
