The Wait (ShraMan SS) | Completed

Part 1

It was a chilly Saturday night. Suman was standing in balcony, with a photo frame in her hand. ''Mom'' came a voice. She turned around to see Shriya, her 5 year old tot, coming towards her. Suman smiled and sat on a chair there, pulling Shriya in her lap. ''Yes Baby??''She asked.

''Mumma aap ro rahe the na??''Shriya asked.

''Nahi beta...mumma kyun royegi??'' Suman said trying to make herself sound normal.

Shriya took the photo frame from Sumo's hand and said '' Aap ko papa ki yaad aa rahi thi na?? ''

Suman looked at the photo frame and said ''Haan Beta''

''Don't worry mumma papa aa jayenge ''

Suman looked at her baby and smiled...Shriya had the same smile as her father, who used to light her heart every time he looked at her.

''haan Shriya baby, Paapa bas jaldi he aa rahe hai''

Suman looked back, it was Pushkar.

Pushkar smiled towards Sumo and Shriya ran towards him.

''Haan Chachu. Aap mummy ko batao na...woh roz raat ko papa ka photo frame dekhkar roti hai..''Looking towards Suman''Mummy aapko pata hai na aap rote waqt bilkul aache nahi dikhte ??''

Suman smiled recalling Shravan's pout on face, how he used to make Sumo stop crying by his cute pout n puppy eyes...Shriya did the same..aakhir beti kiske thi...

''Chalo Shriyu, aab mummy ko sone do, aur hum bhi jaate hai..Mai aapko roz ki tarah aapke papa ki ek kissa bataunga...''Pushkar said and went away with Shriya.

Sumo sat on the bed ...recalling her moments with Shravan...

An hour later Pushkar came to Suman, with two cups of coffee. He knocked on the door.

''aa jayo'' Suman replied.

''Pushkar, tu yaha?? Is waqt?? Kya hua ??Sab thik hai na??''

''Haan Haan Sumo , sab thik hai, tension mat le...tumhare kamre ka light on tha aur mujhe bhi neend nahi aa rahi thi isliye socha ek saath Coffee pi le''He said, handing a cup of coffee to Suman.

''Tujhe Bhaiya ki bohot Yaad aa rahi hai na??''

''Haan, 5 saal se use dekha nahi hai..Yaad me he jee rahi hun..''Suman said, a lone tear escaped her eye.

''Haan sumo, I know. Issiliye tujhe batane aaya tha ke Bhaiya ka call aaya tha...Situation under control hai Aur woh do teen din mein waapas aa rahe hai''

Suman face shone with happiness when she heard Pushkar's words.

''Kya??Tum sach keh rahe ho??Shravan ka call aaya tha??kab??Tumne mujhe bulaya kyun nahi??''

''Bulane hi aaya tha par tum Shriya ke saath thi....''

''Oh!!!''

Suman's happiness knew no bounds..her Shravan...Her chashmish was coming back...

''Chal, aab tu khushiya mana..Mai soone jaa raha hoo....Aur kal subhe saare family members ko yeh khush khabar de dena'' Pushkar smiled and went to his room.

Suman sat on the bed, smiling...Her shravan, her love of life was coming back after the long 5 years .....
