Rekindled Love

Chapter 3

The next morning Suman got freshened up and was very well aware that she might bump into Shravan again. She kept herself strong and went down for breakfast .She didn't see him the whole day while she was at the hotel  .She was helping Pushkar with his speech and went out for a walk before the conference started . It was 4 pm and the event was about to start , Suman packed her nice dark maroon dress, with black stelletos. Vandy helped her put the outfit together . She looked at herself in the mirror with a slight nervousness of seeing him again.

" Sumo ! Be strong you can do this!" she clipped few tresses back leaving the rest of her long dark brown hair open.

She put on a nice necklace over her slender neck and made sure she was secured in her dress that went just above her knees. She looked beautiful yet elegant and grabbed her black folder with important documents before walking towards the door .

As soon as she opened the door Pushkar was there "ready?!"

She smile nodding trying to keep herself normal but still thinking of Shravan

Shravan was downstairs with one of his colleagues  in the banquet hall where the conference was held , there was round tables covered with white clothes and center pieces .There was a stage and a projector in the back .After the speeches there was a gala dinner for all .

Shravan was standing talking with his colleagues but kept glancing at the main entrance Suddenly he sees Suman walking in with Pushkar trying to find her seat .He noticed how beautiful she looked in her dress ,definitely making heads turn  ,her skin was glowing and subtle makeup was enchanting her features .He couldn't believe he was gazing at his lawful wife who he thought about during these two years .

Suman finally sees her name and then sees Shravan's name right beside her ! She was sure he did this on purpose, he was trying hard to interact with her since yesterday  ! Shravan came to the table as everyone settled to sit down, Pushkar saw this and wasn't going to switch seats hoping some conversation can start.

Suman sat down without turning her head to look at him , but he kept glancing at her feeling her tensed body  .People just started to talk amongst themselves and Suman opened her folder taking out the name of the guest speaker .She saw Shravan's name on the list and pursed her lips , feeling unsettled and uneasy .

The host started speaking announcing the name of the speakers up on stage , there were different people from different law firms promoting their accomplishments and plans for better justice system etc...Shravan noticed her being completely oblivious to him as if he didn't exist .This frustrated him he was hoping at least she would glance at him or make eyes contact but she didn't!

Shravan was next on stage and she swallowed looking down, as soon as he started speaking about Windsor Law firm, the firm he worked for. She slowly looked up only to see him speak with much confidence and enthusiasm making people laugh and clap ..Pushkar also smiled and somewhere felt proud of his cousin succeeding in his field ...Suman thought she could ignore him but his voice and the way his eyes kept glancing at her made her feel weak

"Pushkar , Ill be back .."

She left the hall going out for a bit , she sat on the divan with a glass of water lost in her thoughts .Shravan noticed that she wasn't there anymore and somewhere felt bad but finished his speech .After a while she also came back and sat  back on her spot next to him .,

A man sitting across them spoke up "That was a great speech Mr.Shravan You know what they say behind every Successful man there is a woman. I'm sure your wife is behind your success just like every man" He said in a jubilant voice

Shravan eyes met hers finally! They gazed on for few moments before another lawyer interrupted

"You must be a lucky man!"
