Part 4

Shravan: You know what! Mujhe tumhari sugarcoatedbato se koi farak nhi padega. Tum hmesha mujhe matlab ke liye use krti aayi par jab mujhe introduce krne ki baari aayi to tumhari image tumhe bhot pyaari ho gyi. (gritting his teeth)

Suman: Nhi Shravan, ye sab maine bachpane me kia but believe me tumhare jaane ke baad mene tumhe har din miss kia h. (crying)

Shravan: (with sarcastic smile) Of course, miss to kia hi hoga. Ab koi hoga jo nhi tumhare kaam krne wala.

Suman: Nhi Shravan! Sach me mene tumhe bhot miss kia. Hmare saath guzare hue pal, har ek cheez. Mujhe pta chla ki tum meri life me kitne important ho. M tumhare jane ke baad itni upset thi ki mujhe depress...(she stopped)

Shravan: Kya hua? Chup kyu ho gyi? Kya keh rhi thit um? Tumhe depression hua? Tum depress ho nhi skti par kar zarur skti ho. You know what SUMAN TIWARI,tumhari inn bato me m nhi aane wala. Maana nhi to depression ka naatak. God! How low can you stoop?

Suman: Bas Shravan! Mene ab tak jo kaha sab sach tha.Tumhe pta h ki ma-papa ke jaane ke baad tum aur nanu hi mera sahaara the.Shravan: Oh please Suman! Tum ye cheeze mujhe to clear mat hi kro. You deserve to be lonely. You get it?Tum thi hi, sorry-sorry tum ho hi itni selfish ki sab tumhe chhod ke chle jate h. Pehle tumhare ma-papa aur phir m.Because. You. Deserve. It.(He then looked in her eyes that were staring to nothing.They were emotionless. He understood what he said just now made her vulnerable. Continuously tears were flowing from her eyes on her cheeks. He cursed within his breath to have spoken these words. He wasn't able to think of anything at that moment so he just moved out.)

(Suman's mind was rethinking what he said a momentago. She was feeling so weak. Tears weren't stopping.She felt her legs gave up and he fell on the floor with a thump. She didn't know what to do, how to react. Her best friend was responsible for her vulnerable condition.)

Suman: Mera..chashmish..badal..gya (between sobs)(That was all she could whisper before her silent cry turned to loud sobs. After around 20 mins, she composed herself and told herself to stay strong so she can earn well. She resumed her work absent-mindedly.)(Whole day Shravan couldn't focus on his work. So many emotions had surrounded him. He was frustrated, angry,concerned, and what not. He was regretting his last spoken words.)(Both of their nights spent tossing and turning on the irrespective beds only. They were both in a vulnerable state and unable to figure anything out.)

*Next day morning*

(Shravan was talking to a colleague outside his cabin when he saw Rahul moving towards cold storage room with bunch of tulips. He frowned and decided to see what was the matter. He saw Rahul taking a deep sigh and muttering something to himself. He stood behind a pillar to listen.)

Rahul: Aaj to finally Suman ko apne dil ki baat keh hi dunga. Tulips bhi h. Wo manaa kr hi nhi paegi. School me to depression me thi to bol nhi paaya, pure din books me lgi rehti thi, aur college me uss Shravan ki waja se manaa kr dia. Ab inn dono ki misunderstanding dur ho usse pehle hi propose kr deta hu.(with this he moved inside.)

Shravan: (thinking) Iski bato se kya sense bana? Sumo ne college me meri waja se ise manaa kyu kia? Aur ise hmari misunderstandings ke bare me kese pta? Aur ye depression kya keh rha tha? Abhi ke liye ise rokna hoga nhi to ye langur meri Sumo ko propose kr dega. I mean Suman Tiwari, the head chef.

Rahul: Hi Sumo! Wo tumse kuch kehna tha.

Suman: Rahul pls call me Suman. It's workplace.

Rahul: Ok Sorry, wo mujhe kehna tha ki I...I

(Shravan barges inside taking the attention of both.)

Rahul: Kabab me haddi(muttering)

Shravan: Rahul tum yaha? Wo aaj hmari meeting h to files ko jaldi check kro and tomorrow u have to go Euphoria regarding a case there.

(Rahul having no other choice left the cold storage room,followed by Shravan after glancing Sumo.)

Suman: Ye Qutub Minar yaha aaya kyu tha? Pta nhi kya krta h.

*In Afternoon*

(Shravan called Suman to his cabin. She went there.)

Shravan: Sit!

Suman: Sir aapne kis kaam ke liye bulaya h?

Shravan: (taking a sigh) See Ms. Suman, aap us Rahul se thoda duri banake rkhiye. Uske intentions sahi nhi h. Suman: Sir I thought aapne mujhe firm ke kisi kaam se bulaya hoga. Let me tell you, mere bachpan me sbki tarah mujhme mere best friend bhi chhodke chala gya tha. Uske baad se m apne issues khud solve krna seekh gyi hu.

Shravan: (standing up) Sumo tum smjh kyu nhi rhi ho, he is not a guy for you. Usse jitna dur rahogi utna acha h.(trying to be calm, concerned and a little angry)

Suman: (standing up too) Sir first thing I am Suman Tiwari, not Sumo. Aur second cheez, please don't interfere in my personal matters. I shall take your leave.(Without listening to him, she left. He became furious.)

That's it for today!

Happy weekend!
