Suman and Shravan, two people who craved for only one emotion in their lives, Love, and always fell short of it.
They wanted to run from only one thing- Pain, and were embraced only by it in every nook and corner of their lives.
Will they ever be...
Suman was sitting on the bed, still as a statue, her eyes fixed on the picture of her parents, and a layer of tears resting on her waterlines. Her heart was still thudding, the fear that had instilled in her soul at that one moment, terrified her.

What if Shravan didn't come at the right time?
Silently, she lay down on her bed, hiding her face in the pillow, trying to block out her own cries to be saved, that seemed to mingle in the air. Her own room, which was her small heaven now, scared her.
"Di?",a knock on her door, made her sober up and she sat straight.
She was Sumo for the world, she couldn't let Suman come out in open, with her own share of insecurities and vulnerabilities.
"Have some food, please?", Preeti requested and Suman shook her head. Food was the last on her to do list then.
" Even Shravan is sitting outside, aloof , and without food. He didn't leave even after Nanaji asked him to go", Preeti knew which nerve would have her stand up and act, specially now.
Suman looked at her, and then got out of her bed, picked up the plate and walked out of her room, only to freeze in her spot again.
There he sat, the man she had loved with all her heart, looking at the space. His face had a strange restlessness, his hands though lay interlaced, he was constantly moving his fingers, and his right leg shook aimlessly.

"Sharavan!", Her voice felt like ice to his sun burnt heart. It has been so long he had heard his name from her with so much adoration. He raised his eyes to look at her.
"Have something", she kept the plate on the table and he moved his eyes down again.
