Suman dialled Shravan's number waiting to talk to him. Their wedding was tomorrow and she had to make sure that he wasn't going to run away.

" Missing me a lot? ", A teasing voice greeted her.

" nope not at all. ", Suman popped the p as she spoke.

" Accha. Liar. Anyway tell me why you called. ", Shravan adjusted himself comfortably on the bed. Their call wasn't going to end that soon.

" I just wanted to check whether you were packing to leave. ", Suman said carefully not wanting to bring a wave of guilt over Shravan.

" You are right I am actually packing. ", Shravan said as he controlled his smile.

"Packing to go for our honeymoon soon. ", He teased her and Suman blushed.

" Shut up Shravan. ", Suman played with her fingers as her cheeks had a light tinge of red.

Shravan laughed," Okay Okay relax. I ain't going to tease you any more."

Suman immediately looked up from her hands and smiled.

" I can't believe we are going to get married tomorrow Shravan. We are going to...", Suman chirped excitedly, her happiness knew nothing bounds.

" I know Suman. I am so happy Muma and Papa forgave me. Trust me, I wasn't happy seeing them mot talking to me and so silent. There were also very upset that I didn't tell them anything. ", Shravan explained but with a smile on his face.

" I am surprised even Eric forgave you. I mean he was too upset hearing what you did to me. I didn't expect to forgive you that fast. ", Suman added and Shravan agreed.

" I begged him so much to forgive me. It wasn't that easy though he really sought of liked you. ", Shravan said and Suman was surprised.

" Well. At least he understood and let us be together. He is very nice.  If you hadn't apologized that day. I can promise you I would have been daring Eric by now. He is a very nice person. ", Suman said and Shravan scoffed.

" Well I am always on time for everything. I am so perfect you know...", Shravan boasted.

" Shut up. Sometimes, I actually have to think how I fell in love with you. "

" And I have to think how I fell in love with you. ", Shravan spoke

" I think it's late now. We should go and sleep. It's gonna be a long long night.",Shravan added on as a teasing smile graced his face.

Suman abruptly ended the call and looked around the room blushing.
Her cheeks were crimson red and her hands slowly rubbed against each other.

" Why did he have to talk about it?", Suman thought to herself before going for her beauty sleep.

                         |||||
Suman ascended the stairs dressed in her bridal gown, her jewelleries and her hair were on pint. She looked aesthetically beautiful. Everyone's eyes turned towards her as Shravan slowly got up and streched his arms towards her. She held his hand and as he walked her towards the altar.

" You are looking ethereal  ", Shravan complimented her as they both sat down.

The priest chanted the mantras as he put the vermilion on her hair parting and made her wear the mangalsutra.
They also finished their seven vows promising to be with each other for eternity.
They exchange their garlands with a little bit of fun and masti.

Suman sobbed as she sat in the car after giving a last glance to her crying parents and sister.

Shravan put his arm around her as she continued making his Sherwani wet.

" Stop crying Suman. You will still get to call them. You aren't going to  a different world. ", Shravan tried to explain it to her.

" I know but...", Suman started of to say but was cut off by a kiss from Shravan.
The kiss was everything she needed, it gave her the assurance that he was going to there with her forever, was going to love and pamper her like the way her parents did to her all these years. He was going to protect her from all evils.
She hugged him even tighter after the kiss.

" I love you so much Shravan. ", Suman mumbled against his chest.

" I love you a lot too. ", Shravan confessed back and wrapped his arm around her till they reached the Malhotra Mansion.

Suman cleared all traces of tears that were left behind and wiped of all the mascara which had smudged.

" Better now ?", Shravan asked her as they approached the Malhotra Mansion.
Suman nodded in return and they stood outside the Malhotra Mansion. They finished all the rituals which were needed and went to their room.

Suman stood in front of the dresser as she slowly removed her jewellery awaiting for Shravan to return.

She zoned out looking at herself in the bridal dress. She was in her heaven, where she hoped to be. Though not rid of all problems of Life, from now she had someone to accompany her through all these ups and downs. From today, she was Mrs Suman Shravan Malhotra and she had return whatever he does for her by living up to their name.

" What are you thinking of ?", Shravan's had encircled her waist from the back and his chin rested on her shoulder.

" Just thinking how I became Mrs Suman Malhotra from Ms Suman Tiwari. ", Suman mumbled as she slightly leans back onto him.

" If not for my stupid actions, you would have been in my arms almost 2 months ago. ", Shravan said while Suman smiles.

"Relax Shravan. Don't be so harsh on yourself. Whatever happens , happens for good.", Suman turned and hugged him.

Shravan sighs...

"Promise me that you aren't going to think about it anymore.", Suman said and Shravan agreed.

                                                                    Meeting you was fate

Be coming your friend was a choice

Loving you was something I had no control over
