Shravan held Suman's hand as they approached Eric and Riya with their luggage. Eric waved them over enthusiastically.

"Hey Eric, bro! Wassup?" Shravan greeted.

"All good, you tell," Eric replied.

"Yeah, all fine."

Riya playfully nudged Shravan. "Shravan, did you forget me? Your sister?"

"Of course not, Riya! Wassup, lady?" Shravan responded with a grin.

Eric glanced at Suman curiously. "Hey bro, who's the girl with you?"

"Oh, meet Suman Shravan Malhotra, my wife," Shravan announced proudly.

Eric and Riya were taken aback. "What? Sumo? You married your Sumo?" they exclaimed in unison.

"Guys, I'll explain everything later, but for now, meet her," Shravan said.

Riya extended a warm hand to Suman. "Hey Sumo, I'm Riya, Shravan's sister—well, his sister by choice."

Suman smiled, shaking her hand. "Suman, Suman Shravan Malhotra. It's nice to meet you, Riya."

Eric leaned over to Shravan and whispered, "She's a tigress, huh? Seems a bit jealous seeing Riya."

Shravan chuckled. "Alright, guys, can you drop us at my apartment, please?"

Eric and Riya led them to their car. As they drove, Shravan and Suman sat in the back seat, while Eric and Riya took the front.

Shravan leaned over to Suman and whispered, "Sumo, please don't be jealous. They're both committed and married here."

Suman looked apologetic. "Sorry, I thought of it the wrong way."

"Shh, just rest now," Shravan said softly.

"But—"

"Sumo, it's a two-hour drive with London traffic. Get some sleep, baba," Shravan insisted.

Suman didn't argue further. She leaned into Shravan and soon fell asleep, hugging him.

In the front seat, Riya glanced back and noticed Shravan's thoughtful expression. "Shravan, bro, is something bothering you?"

Shravan sighed and quietly recounted the entire fiasco that had happened in India.

Riya listened intently. "I feel sorry for her, but don't worry. I'm here, and Sasha is too. We'll help her through this."

Eric congratulated Shravan. "By the way, congrats on your marriage, man."

"Thanks, Eric. And Riya, did you arrange everything for Sumo?" Shravan asked.

"Yeah, Eric and Adil helped clean the house, and Sasha and I arranged the wardrobe," Riya confirmed.

Soon, they reached the apartment where Shravan lived. The commotion woke Suman, and she rubbed her eyes, looking around.

"We're here," Shravan said gently.

For the first time in a long while, both Suman and Shravan felt hopeful. They had each other, and together, they would build a beautiful life, one moment at a time.



Shravan and Suman stood in awe in front of the grand apartment building. Suman was visibly stunned.

"Shravan, is this really your apartment?" Suman asked in disbelief.

Eric chuckled. "Yes, Sumo, it's real and right here on Earth."

Riya smiled warmly. "Yes, Suman, and feel free to make yourself at home. Everyone here is wonderful."

Suman smiled back at them. "Thank you so much."
