Sumo looked behind her and saw what she had left. She saw the happiness she had let go just a few days earlier. Sumo saw the people who's hands she had let go. They had hidden their tears so well, she could not even see them until now. When she looked around her, she found that what she though was bright and beautiful is now dull and dark. She stopped in her tracks and turned around. She knew that if she just listened to her heart, she would make the right choice so she closed her eyes. It was ironic, really, that she could see more clearly with her eyes closed than she could with her eyes open. 

Suddenly, she was at her destination, it was even more amazing than she had ever hoped. But something was still missing. Her heart still felt incomplete. Sumo turned around to see what more she could possibly need and then, she saw him: Shravan. She quickly opened her eyes and gasped. She notices how her heart started beating rapidly. It was in that moment she realized what he meant to her. It was in that moment she realized why she felt so empty. It was in that moment she realized he felt the same way. 

His face flashed before her eyes. It was the same time she had said er final farewell. She just now notices how when he told her to go and live out her dream, his tone was miserable and he refused to meet her eyes. It was as if he gazed in her eyes, his strength would crumble and he would never let her go. That moment she felt her heart twist at the memory of her first best friend and true love. She snapped out of her trance and ran back home.

She found him with a glum look on his face. Sumo ran towards Shravan with the biggest smile on her face. When he first saw her, he was in shock but when he saw the smile on her face, his confused expression turned into one of pure joy. He spread out his arms and when she embraced him, he spun her around. 

"I love you and I couldn't leave without you," she whispered into his ear, still in his arms. 

"O love you too, I always have since we were little kids. I can't loose you again." he confessed pulling away.

They both just stood there soaking in each other's presence. They both looked at the big tree where they had met years ago They saw a little bot resembling how Shravan had looked when he was a child. and a little girl just like Sumo. The little boy gave the girl a flower and she gladly accepted. The two kids hugged and the older pair looked back at each other, recalling the memory from years ago and smiling. They walked back home together, hand in hand and got ready for a new adventure together. And this time, she did not have to second guess herself because she had Sumo's Shravan.
