I Need You! - A Shraman story

Part 13

Receptionist: (shaking hands with Shravan) Thank you Mr Malhotra, it was pleasure to serve you!

Sumo: Thanks to you too.

Receptionist: My pleasure Mrs Malhotra. So Mr Malhotra, you were asking for a driver right?

Shravan: Umm ya. When is he coming.

Receptionist: He is just 5 mins away. Aap breakfast nahi karenge?

Shravan: Nahi. Baad mein kar lenge.

Receptionist: Ok then, have a safe journey. Here, your driver came.

Driver: Namaste Bhaisabh, namaste bhabhijaan!

Sumo: Namaste Bhaiya! Aap Punjabi ho?

Driver: Nahi Bhabhijaan, mai Haryana se hu. Aur aap log?

Shravan: Hum Delhi rahte hai.

Driver: Accha ji. To chalte hai? Raste mein traffic bhi badh jaegi.

Sumo: Haan ji. Chaliye. Par hum ja kaha rahe hai Bhaiya!

Driver: Wo to hum...

Shravan: Bhaiya, Chalo Chalo. Hum late ho rahe hai.

Sumo frowned as her attempt to know failed. Sighing, she caught hold of her Chasmish and moved forward to their destinations.

After 2 hours.

Sumo: (noticing the nature) Shraaavvaan!!!!!!!! (shouting)

Shravan: (chuckling) Yes Motu?

Sumo: (irritated) Shravannnn! (pouts)

Shravan: (laughs and pecks her lips suddenly) Bolo.

Sumo: (too shocked to answer) Kya bolu?

Shravan: Sumo? Tum thik ho?

Sumo: Kya? Ha wo... Shravan hum Haridwar mein hai right?

Shravan: What? Haridwar? No...

Sumo: (whacking his arm hard) Chasmish, mujhse jhoot bolta hai? How dare you! (feigning anger)

Shravan: Aahhh! Sumooooooo! Ahhh.

Sumo: Natak mat kar Lambu. Nahi to aur pitega!

Shravan: (whispering) Stop it warna mai abhi tumhe kiss kar dunga. Wo bhi ekdum full fledged! Driver ka kya hoga mujhe nahi pata! (pecking her cheek) Soch lo.

Sumo: Kya? Tum mujhe abhi kisss.... (suddenly understanding) ....kkiiisss ke baare mein bol rahe the?

Shravan: Kya Sumo! Bola to tha. 'Kiss' k baare mein. (winking)

Sumo: Sshuut up! (blushing)

Shravan: Bhaiya, wo hume pehle hi Chandi Pahar jana hai.

Driver: Ha Bhaisabh, hum bas 10 minutes mein pohoch jayenge.

Sumo: Shravan, tumne mujhe pehle bhi to bol sakte the.

Shravan: But I like the sparkles in your eyes when I give you surprises.

Sumo: But you're annoying! (pouting)

Shravan: DON'T pout Sumo. Breakfast mein tumhe hi kha jaunga phir.

Sumo: Kyaaaa!!

Shravan: Kya nahi.. Haaa... (laughing loud)

Driver: Bhaisabh, hum a gaye. Udhar counter se tickets le lijiye ga ropeway ka.

Sumo: Thank you Bhaiya.

Driver: Koi baat nahi. Accha bhabhijaan, aap log puja denge hai na? To uske liye thaali upar se le lijiega.

Sumo: Thik hai. (smiles) Shravan?

Shravan: Ha?

Sumo: Jaana nahi hai?

Shravan: Ha ha, chalo. (intertwining their fingers)

Inside the cable car.

Sumo: (worried) Shravan?

Shravan: Ha? Kya hua Sumo? Tum thik ho?

Sumo: Shravan wo. Ye kitnaaa ucha hai. Mujhe darr lag rahi hai.

Shravan: (side hugging her) I'm here na?

Sumo: Tum mujhe girne nahi doge, right? (with twinkles in her eyes)

Shravan: Kabbhi nahi. I love you. (kisses her forehead)

Sumo: I love you too.

Shravan: To phir, ready? 1.. 2.. and...

Sumo: 3... Wuueeee!!!!!

They laugh and enjoy the beauty of Uttarkhand.

Inside the temple.

Pandit: Ab aap apni icchaye mata ko Boliye.

Sumo: (in her mind) Maa. Maine abhi tak mere liye kuch nahi maanga kisi se. Aj kuch chahiye. Mere Shravan ka khusi. Usko bas is duniya ki saari khusiya dijiye. Bohot kuch seh liya usne. Ab aur taakat nahi Hai usme. Aur Shravan ko kuch ho gaya to mai mar jaungi Maa. Woh aur Nanu hi to hai mere apne! (opens her eyes and sees him emotionally)

Shravan: (in his mind) Maa, ab Sumo hi mera sabkuch hai. Mai bohot selfish hu na, to bas mujhe apne liye hi sahi Sumo ki khushi chahiye. Bohot kuch seh liya usne. Bohot pyar karti hai wo sabhi se. Mujh se bhi. Mujhe bas ashirwad de dijiye ki mai usse aur bhi pyar de saku. Aur bhi khusiya. Bohot pyaar karta hu mai usse. Usse kuch ho gaya, to mai to mar jaunga. Uski har khwahishein puri kar dijiyega!

Shravan opens his eyes to see his love looking at him with those emotions which he wanted to see for the last 10 years. Shravan smiled at her to which she mouthed a silent 'Love you'. Shravan smiled broad.

Their eyelock gets disturbed with the constant ringing of Sumo's mobile.

Sumo: (answering the call) Hello? Ha Preeti bol. Ha, bol... Kya? Kya bol rahi hai tu?????

Shravan: (seeing her crying) Sumo? What happened? (cupping her face) Sumo?!

Sumo: Shhrr... Shravannnn​! Shravan.. Nanu!!!! (cries bitterly) Nanuuu...... (the puja thali drops from her hands and she cries loud hugging him tight)
