•CHAPTER 6•

CHAPTER 6

Shravan opened the door to his apartment and switched on the lights. The apartment was large for at least 3 to 4 people to live but he lives alone.

Nothing was making sense to Shravan but a huge photo frame caught his attention. A photograph of Suman, him and Nana ji.

Till few days ago only he used to smile by looking at that picture, he smiled right now also but tears also fell down from his eyes.

There was one more photo frame with the picture of only Shravan and Suman. He went towards that picture and toched Suman's face.

"I missed you so much in these past years, in fact I miss you till date and will miss you forever!" Shravan said with a sad smile.

"I am feeling so guilty right now, I did a mistake by not listening to you that day when you were running after me" Shravan said.

"I loved you too, Sumo!" He said and kissed her picture.

Little did he know that his life will be taking a turn soon.

Shravan changed himself into nightwear and laid on the bed. From past 10 days he wasn't able to sleep, everything became a nightmare for him. But still he closed his trying to sleep, which will not happen.

Kya Kabhi Savera.. Ha Ha

Laata Hai Andhera.. Ha Ha

Sookhi Siyahi

Deti Hai Gawaahi

Sadiyon Puraani

Aisi Ik Kahaani

Reh Gayi, Reh Gayi

Ankahee..

Ankahee..

Shravan woke up, or let's say opened his eyes at 5 in the morning as he was not able to sleep. He did his morning chores and had a cup of coffee.

He sat down in his study to divert his mind and opened his laptop to see if there is any important mails. Luckily, there was none important mails.

He then saw some photograph of Suman, which was posted before accident. He was always looking forward to meet her after years but fate didn't let that happen.

*******

"Shravan how are you doing man?" Eric asked as Shravan entered in the office.

"I... I don't know!" Shravan replied honestly and went in his cabin with Eric following him.

"But why did you went to India all of a sudden?" Eric asked as Shravan haven't told him the reason.

"She is no more..." Shravan whispered loud enough for Eric to hear.

"What!? That is not possible!" Eric exclaimed.

"It happened" Shravan said and kept his head between his palms.

"Shravan, this can't happen!" Eric said making Shravan frustrated.

"It happened Eric, it happened!" Shravan shouted at him. Eric knew that he is in no mood to talk so he left his cabin leaving Shravan alone.

*******

"Hey, can you please go and give this file in that cabin?" Eric asked the new female worker.

"M...me?" She gulped as a lump was formed in her throat.

"Yeah, actually I have to go somewhere urgently right now. So can you please do it?" Eric asked her.

"Umm... Okay!" She said and Eric gave her the file and left from there.

God, please take care of everything.

The female employee went towards Shravan's cabin and knocked the door.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in!" Shravan's voice came from inside. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening the door.

Shravan saw the door of his cabin opening and who entered next shocked him to the core.

The glass of water which he was drinking got slipped from his hand and went crashing down to the floor.

How is this possible!?

"Sumo...." Her name slipped from his mouth in a whisper making her stop in her tracks. She looked up with a teary eyes meeting his shocked expression.

"How did you..." Suman didn't know what to say. She felt so happy that her Shravan identified her after all these years.

"What do you mean by 'How did you', how are you alive!?" Shravan stood up from his chair totally shocked.

"By breathing" Suman replied not knowing what to answer that question.

"But you died few days ago!" Shravan said.

"What!? No!" Suman snapped back.

"Oh please, I went to India just for your cremation and all!" Shravan said, everything was spinning around him.

"I did not die Shravan, I am here standing in front of you all alive breathing!" Suman said.

"Oh god!" Shravan rubbed his face. Nothing was making sense to him.

"When did I die!?" Suman asked not able to believe that he went to India for her cremation.

Like seriously!? When did I die!?

"On the night of my birthday!" Shravan said.

"Oh come on Shravan, I did not die!" Suman was getting frustrated with all this dying conversation.

"No you did!" Shravan said.

Sumo, calm down. He is your chashmish he will take time to understand.

"Okay fine I died, so now tell me did you saw my face when I died?" Suman asked and then it hits Shravan that no one actually saw the face of the body.

"No!" Shravan whispered loud enough only for Suman to hear.

"There you go with your answer. Anyways, I came here to give you this file!" Suman kept the file on his desk and left his cabin boiling in anger.

How can he think that I am dead!!
