Still Holding On (EDKV 1) [Completed]

Part 5

(Suman saw that girl. She was laying down like a statue. She started at her emotionless eyes, her trembling pis. She looked at the scratch marks on her hand. Tears made their way down her cheeks. Suman revived her past thinking about how she was in depression, not able to speak anything after what happened with her. A tear fell on the girl's hand bringing her to present surroundings. She saw Suman crying.)

Girl: Aap ro kyu rhe ho?

Suman: Oh! You can speak Hindi, what's your name?

Girl: Reena. M India me reh chuki hu isliye. Par aap ro kyu rhe ho?

(Shravan was outside the door. He saw through window glass Suman crying. He was gritting his teeth. Soon, what he saw was unbelievable. The girl who didn't speak for a whole week was talking to Suman. He wanted to go inside but stopped thinking about that the girl might get frightened.)

Suman: M aapko btaungi, pr usse pehle aap mujhe ye btao ki aapki haalat esi kyu h aur kisne ki?

Girl: Wo..wo..uncle (she sobbed uncontrollably) (not able to complete)

(Shravan thought it's time to go inside. He barged in the room scaring the girl.)

Girl: Didi...ye..ye (scared)

Suman: Umm..beta aap inse mat daro. Ye aapko insaaf dilaenge. Wo jinhone aapke saath ye kia h unhe punishment dilaenge. Par aapko inhe sab kuch sach btana hoga. Tbhi ye unhe punishment denge.

Girl: Sachi, aap unhe punishment doge? (towards Shravan)

Shravan: Ha beta, m dunga. Aap jo btaoge wo m record kr lunga aur phir unko saza dilwaunga.

(Girl noded.)

(Girl narrated everything. Suman kept holding her hand and caressing her hand assuring that she isn't alone and doesn't need to frighten. Shravan recorded everything. He was really surprised the way Suman tackled the situation. He was still amused that she made the girl speak.)

Shravan: (in his thoughts) Sumo pehle jesi nhi rhi. Bhot badal gyi. Uss din Rahul ne kaha meri waja se committed nhi hui aur aaj bhi uss bachi ko kese smbhala. Shayad wo badal gyi h. Pr ye Rahul ne jo kaha uska mtlb kya ho skta h. Mujhe college ke bare me Pushkar se puchna chaiye.

(All got this good news and appreciated Suman. Suman was hoping to help that girl and she was happy she could do this.)

Suman: Shravan ab to tumhare paas sare saboot h. Pls pehli hearing me hi case khtm krne ki koshish krna.

Shravan: Ya, don't worry. Waise I just must say you did a really job.

(Suman gives a faint smile.)

Shravan: But tell me one thing. Ye sab tumne kia kese, I mean...

Suman: Jab do logo ki situation similar ho, to sb apne aap ho jata h.

Shravan: What do you mean? Kahi ye...

Suman: M...mera..mera mtlb wo bhi ro rhi h, m bhi rone lgi isliye..

Shravan: Tum sach keh rhi ho?

(Just then Eric calls him and says him to come to office.)

Shravan: Ok, I will be there.

(He glances at Suman. They share a short eyelock and then Shravan leaves for office.)

*At office*

Eric: So today our head chef did a great job, It's really impressive.

(Everyone showed their smiles and looks at Suman.)

Eric: So the hearing is day after tomorrow. So I guess we can have a victory party tonight. What say?

Shravan: But Eric, let me just finish up the case you know.

Eric: Shravan, everyone has witnessed the way you were in rage today. Let them and you also have some good time. And talking about the case, you will surely win it. I have full trust on you.

So girls and boys, we'll be having a party tonight. Venue would be declared. Everyone, please show your presence esp. the star of the day Ms. Suman.

Suman: No sir, I can't join the party. I am sorry.

Eric: Please Suman you have to come.

Suman: Ok!

(Soon, they were back to the normal. Shravan hadn't forgotten what she did 10 years ago and Suman didn't forget their conversation in cold storage room.)
