"Shravan" a voice ringed.
He bites is tongue and mutters "Gone" he turns and sees her standing with her hands on her waist.
"Chachi" he sighs. There was Kamini Malhotra the only family of Shravan.
"Chachi...how do you always come to know." He gives her a side hug and kisses her hairs.
"I am not your mother but still I have brought you up these many years..." She was interrupted by Shravan. "Chachi...who told you that. My mother just gave me birth but you were the one who made me.. who nurtured me so never say that again..you are more than a mother to me. You are my God to me."
"I know...but you must also know that your every step reaches my heart. Do I can sense you from anywhere my child" she caresses her cheek. " Come I will serve you dinner" she pulls him to the dining table and serves him his favourite dinner. Aloo ka paratha and dahi.
"Chachi" he calls munching his food.
"Ha beta."
"Chachi I have a concert tomorrow so don't wait for me. I will be late. Please sleep on time and I will instruct the servants accordingly." Shravan says. "Beta try to come early. I do find you aren't having proper sleep. You always work late night. It will take a toll on your health. Please beta." She requests. "I will definitely try. But what to do"
"It's okay have a good night." She stands up wiping his mouth. He hugs her for the last time and calls it a night.

"Suman....Suman" Manju was shouting at the door of her room. This breaks Suman sleep as she wakes up she finds that she had slept in same position hugging the photo frame. She hurriedly wakes up and opens the door.
"Mami"
"Ha Mami. Have you become kumbhkaran from last ten minutes I am calling you and you Queen Victoria was taking your beauty sleep" she chides her.
"No mami... I am sorry it's just I was a little exhausted so...I am really sorry." Suman apologieses for her mistake.
"Take this suit and get ready till 10' o clock. The boy's family is coming to see you and dare you reject them. I will sue you badly for it." She hands her over a old red coloured suit.
"But mami" she could even speak further Manju had left the place. She cries seeing the suit.
"Ma please do something. I don't wanna get married this early. Ma I wanna go to Delhi. Please Ma" she looks up and prays to God for his magic. Poor Girl....
"Suman is really beautiful." The boy eyes him from top to down..Suman feels uncomfortable with his gaze.
"Are our Suman is not only beautiful but also educated. She is also expert in household works." Manju banters his fake sweetness. Suman is shocked to see her talk like that about it.
"I think we should give them some lone time" the boy's mother speaks up. " Yeah yeah sure. Suman beta please take him to the terrace" she instructs her. Suman silently obeys her and takes him upstairs. They make themselves sit in the swing placed.
"Hi I am Aarav." He forwards his hand to her. She gives a tight lipped smile saying "Hello..I am Suman Tiwari" she distances herself a little.
"Suman means flower right?" He asks.
"Hmm.." she replies softly. "So you are" he touches her bare arms. "As soft" his hands travel to her waist " As sweet" he eyes her luscious lips. "As coloured" he holds her hand which was placed on her lap. She instantly looks at him and finds him quite wired. "Please" she jerks his hand off and stands up.
