Shravan was waiting at the coffee shop. He read the message that he had been sent to sumo for the 100th time.

     " Sumo. ....where ever you are. ...whatever you are doing with. ..let it off. ..come for a coffee with me. ..its my day. .shravan s day. ..❤"

      But why she didn't read the message yet. .should I call her once more. ..wait shravan. .you have waited for her from your childhood. ..few more hours won't harm in anyway. ..let her come. .

At Tiwari killa :

   Sumo was at cloud nine after reading  shravan s message that too with a heart emoji. ...oh my god. ...she was jumping litrelly 😀😀😀 she took her mother's photo and hugged.

    " Ma. ..your sumo is so happy today. she won't be alone anymore after today. ..shravan s going to propose me. ..and the lo...ng wait is over now. I got shravan as my love. .He will love me in a way that I won't long for love and care after then. Oh. .oh. ..shravan  I am struggling to breathe. ....getting late sumo. ...get ready. .fast. ." Let me call shravan to tell him that I am on the way. ..

    " knock. .knock. ..knock. .."

   Sumo opened the door and surprised to see ramnath and mamiji. .

  "Uncle. ..you. ..come in uncle. ...let me get something for you to drink. ..."

  Shravan lost his patience by the time waiting for sumo. Even then  he waited with a smile by remembering his childhood wait for her. Even today his wait lengthens until she comes. His smile widen even more when he sees sumo coming towards him.

Shravan:  hi sumo. ..It was quite a busy day. .is it so. ..what would you like to have. ..?

Sumo : ( nodded her head ) h
a an. ..shravan ...pct in home , preethi s wedding. ..really now a days I had tough times. .I am lucky enough to have you unwind me from toughest times. ...tell me shravan. ..why did you called me. ..anything important. ...

   Shravan:  Sumo. ...Yeh... kind.. of important thing. ...( he mumbled by seeing her determined eyes. The courage he had till now had vanished. Hesitation and a fear of rejection made him trembled. He had an adrenaline rush. They both had lot of fights, hugs touches. ..in  childhood days. But now, he couldn't get to face her. It's hard for him to look into her eyes. )

  Sumo :  shravan. . am so tired. ..shall we go for coffee. ..It will take time for you to speak I think. ..coffee  (she smiled teasingly ).

   Even after the coffee they both maintained silence. .They started walking towards the parking area.

Shravan :   Sumo. ..you look so tired. Why don't you get help from others. .how can you manage pct and marriage together. ..yeah. .you are a sumo wrestler. ...but ...see dark circles around ur eyes. .u look pale too. ..I am there for you to help 24×7. ..am I not a stranger anyhow. ..right  (shravan tried to be casual. He wanted the moment to be a light hearted one )

Sumo :  shravan. ..you are my only friend whatever I can ask for. .do you know shravan. ..I wish to have a life partner who takes care of me like you. ..nanu will get me a boy like that. ..and you know my likes and dislikes, obviously you will select a good boy for me. .right  (sighed in relief )

    Shravan s face turned down in a disappointment. His heart weeped silently. ..so she s ready letting me go off. ..she didn't want me as her love. ..I am only a good friend of sumo. ..I can't be her life partner. .is it so. ?but sumo. .i need you in my life. This is not the time may be. ..its clear that you are not a girl  that I thought. ..i need to  understand you more. .let the time intervene in this matter. ..

Sumo :  shravan. ..you wanted to say  something. ...

Shravan :  I just forgot sumo. ..but I promise  I will say that to you somehow. ..may be later (he managed to laugh. ..)

Sumo :   ok then. It's already late. .I think we should leave now. ..take care shravan. ..bye. ..

Shravan :  bye sumo. ..give me a call after reaching home. ...

Shravan drove his car to home. Sumo can't hold her anymore. Somehow she managed the day as fair play. .but the emotional turmoil inside  made  her to sobb loudly. She cried badly in thought of her fate.

    Shravan. ..I love you so much. .its only you in my life as friend, lover, life partner who can love and care about me. ..i will keep on loving you even if you despise me. ..but my fate drove me to say all those things to you shravan. .The words which I hate most. ..I know how you have broken inside. ...but I was in a situation to act like that. .its time to repay my gratitude to the family that had given me everything. ..sorry shravan. ..Please stay strong. .. I  miss you shravan. ...I miss you. ... (she sobbed uncontrollably)

At malhothra mansion

Shravan entered home with absence of mind. Ramnath s voice made shravan to come back to earth.

Ramnath :  beta. ..where have you been. ..its too late now. ..had dinner why you look so dull. ..

Shravan :  papa. .. (didn't want to see his face, answered in a robotic pace )just went to meet an old friend. ..yeah  I dined out as well. ..feeling sleepy. ..good night  papa. ..

Ramnath :  shravan. ..come here  (made him to sit neat him )  I am a lawyer. ..more than that your father. ..u  can't hide anything from me. .now tell me. .what happened. ... (patted his back gently in a reassuring gesture )

Shravan : ( looked his eyes directly)papa. ..I met sumo  ...I wanted to propose her that I love her so much. ..but she didn't want to it seems. ..I am only her friend as for as she thinks. ...I am. ... (he paused. ...)

  Ramnath :beta. ..sumo s a good girl. .I know. .but I don't think that she  deserves you. ..who you are. ..shravan malhothra. ...the bestest lawyer in Delhi. ..handsome, intelligent, well settled. ..and so on. ..Suman Tiwari. .I told you  about her. ..she is self determined girl. .before her self respect nothing worths. ...even the family. ...leave her. ...cheer up man. .you deserve better girl. ..

    Shravan got shocked by his father's statement. ..He knows that he didn't like sumo after his mother's incident  though he tried to convince him. ...that though sumo s a self determined girl. ..she balances her work and family equally. ...He gave permission to shravan after a long hesitance. ...but this time shravan had a disapproved look on his father. ....let's see what happens next. In this thought he got up to go to his room. ..ramnath too got up and patted shravan s back. ..by this time a duly signed blank cheque fell down from his packet. ..shravan took the cheque and see a accusing look at ramnath. ..

"Papa...its not safe to keep a signed blank cheque. .."and he keep it in his pocket " may be you need this for another instance like today. ..right. .."

Ramnath was staring at shravan who walks up to his room. ..did he know today s incident. ..but how could he. .did sumo tell him anything. ..no. .I m sure. .she won't. ..

With a confusion, he headed towards his room. ...
