Here is Chapter 18.
After some time Adi again knocked her room's door.sumo opened the door and said irritatedly,
"ab kya hain?"
Adi entered the room and saw she was doing her packing.and the whole room was just not a less than a mess. Seeing this adi said,
"sumo tu yeh kya karrahi hain? tu thik to hain Na?
"Kya yaar kal meri sadi hain...To packing karrahi hu.after all kal ek murderer ki biwi banne jarahi hoon...Tu bata sadi ki arrangements ho gayi?
Aditya knew this new sumo,so he didn't argue with her.
"Ummm sumo mujhe tujse kuch batain karni hain..."
Sumo resumed her packing and said,"ha bol na... main sun rahi hoon"
"Sumo mujhe aisa kyu lagrahi hain ke tu yeh sadi apni revenge puri karke liye karrahi hain?"
Hearing this Suman stopped her work and smirking,"main kuch nehi karungi.. nature will take his reverge by his own way. Kyuki karma is a bitch"
"Dekh sumo main nehi janta tu shravan ke sath kya karegi.. lekin ek baat yaad rakh..Tu sadi ke baad na..Ms. suman tiwari nehi rahegi..Tu Mrs.suman shravan malhotra banegi...To agar asman mein kichar uraige na...To woh kudh tere muh mein ake giregi..."
saying these adi left her alone and sumo sent shravan a text-
'ready for the marriage, meet me tomorrow morning @ 10 cafe boomers.'
After sometime she got text from shravan-
'I'll be waiting 4 u :') '
****************************************************************************
The next morning shravan came the cafe at exact 9 am and found his sumo wearing a gorgeous magenta saree with golden bloues waiting for him.seeing this shravan passed her his breathtaking smile.but sumo didn't reciprocate him.
"Sumo tum... i mean tum.. Bohot khubsurat lagrahi ho.dulhan jaisi... Meri dulhan"
shravan said dreamily.
But Sumo ignored him and said,
"shravan main yeh sadi apne ma-papa ke karrahi hoon aur sadi se pehle mera kuch shart aur batain hain.agar mante ho to yeh sadi hogi.nehi to..
"Dekho sumo mujhe tumhari haar baat har shart bina janke hi manjur hain kyu ke main papa ko promise kiya hain.aur yeh shravan malhotra apne marte dam taq woh promise nehi todega."
"Good chalo pher.der kis baat ki?"
Shravan noded and left for the court.and the way they picked up preety and puskar as they need witness.
**************************************************************************
At Court room they found aditya was waiting for them while preekar were hell shocked and shravan was totally numb.he was just starring at his sumo.
"Are Adi, sab ready hain Na?" Sumo said.
"Ha..Woh.. woh.. ha..ho.."aditya was stemming seeing all.
Sumo came forward and took pen to sign the papers.while signing the papers,she said,
"Kya haklane lagi.hat yeha se.sign karne de hume.tujhe koi kam ho ya na ho lekin puskar aur preety di ke bohot sare kam hain.aur shravan to yeh sadi ke liye bohot hi excited hain..."
After sign the papers she passed the pen to shravan and said,
"aao shravan tum bhi sign kardo aur khatam karo tumhare sapne, tumhare promise."
"Woh... Shravan sign karne se pehle ye lo mangalsutra aur yeh lo sindur."aditya said while passing the vermilion and nuptial chain.
Shravan was about take them happily but stopped in between when he heard from sumo,
"offo adi... yeh sab kya faltu ke cheez ke padi hain...We are modern couple and we don't believe in these things.so keep it to yours.kyu Shravan?"
"No I believe in them but I respect your liking and dislikings.aur yeh sab dalke tumara bojh nehi baraunga.jisdin tumhe yeh sab chez par biswash ayegi sirf usidin main tumhe yeh sab pehnaungi.and I'll be waiting for for that day."he said and signed the papers silently.
"Yeeeeeee... Congratulations Mr.malhotra.... Finally tumhare I mean humare dreamy arrange marriage complete huyi."
she took his hand made a forcefull handshake.
"Sumo yeh sab kya hain? aise thodi na hote hain shadi? Maine aj tak to aisa shadi kabhi nehi dekhi"
Puskar Finally said.
"Are kabhi nehi dekha to ab dekhle.aur vaise bhi humlog unique hain, humare story unique hain to sadi bhi unique hogi na?To hogaya."
"Aaah... Humlog bhi na kya batain lekar baith gayi.. chalo chalo suman apne ghar chalo..."
preety said to change the topic.
Shraman noded and left for the home.in the car Sumo was looking outside and crying silently where Shravan driving like a robot.
Sumo(in mind): Shravaaaaaan..... aaj tumhe itna dard de ke bhi mujhe sukun kyu nehi milrahe hain? kyu?? ma-papa main shravan ke sath galat karrahi hu kya? ma-papa please mujhe koi rasta dekhao.aur shravan tum kyu chup ho?Mujhe per kyu nehi chillate?? jab bhi koi galat karti hu to tum mujhe rokhte ho na...To phir aaj kyu nehi roka mujhe? kya tum sach mein hi guilty feel karrahi ho?
kya sach mein tum.... nehi nehi sumo tu kya soch rahi hain.. woh ek khuni hain... sirf khuni...Tu ne jo bhi karrahi hain thik karrahi hain.sumo tu apne yeh dill ko apne kabu mein rakh.
Shravan (in mind): Sumo... Main janti hoon ke mujhe hurt karke tumhe kudh aur Taqleef horahi hain. Main janti hoon ke tumhare dimag Mujhe maf karne ke liye rokh raha hain.tumhe jo punishment de na hain de do sumo lekin please apni dill ki suno.
*********************************************************************
After reaching the home preety explained all post marriage rituals.and shraman did them silently.
When shraman was about to entered their room Puskar stopped them saying,
"kya bhaiya bhabi ko aise hi lejaogi kya?
Come on bhaiya, pick her up and go.and Bhabi please mana mat karna yeh malhotra khan dan ki rituals hain."
Hearing this both shraman felt awkward where Shravan asking permission from sumo through eyes.but sumo was looking everywhere but him.shravan took her gesture in positive way and picked her up and went to their room.in these time shraman were starring each other forgetting their surrounding, their bitter truth.
after reaching their room shravan put her down very carefully and said,
"take rest sumo aur agar kuch jarurat padhe to preety di aur Puskar hain unlogo ko bula lena.mujhe kuch kam hain."
At night When Sumo was arranging the bed Shravan came home and directly entered the room hesitately as he don't know how to start conversation.so he stood near a corner of the room.sumo saw him but she ignored him.
After some time he came to her and said,
"sumo... tum...bed pe..."
"sona hain to chup chap jake woh coach per so jao... Meri pass ane ke sochna bhi mat.aur tumne soch bhi kaise sakte ho ki main tum jaise ek khuni ke sath ek bed pe soyungi?
Sumo cut him and threw the pillow towards him.but unfortunately the pillow hit the table and thus his favorite camera broke as it was kept on the table.
The incident occurred all of a sudden that Shravan didn't save it from falling.even Sumo was also shocked as it happened unintentionally and she knew how much he loved this camera.
Flash back-
(One usual day Sumo was playing with his cameras.suddenly shravan screamed
"sumo sambhal ke...Woh koi khelne ki cheez nehi hain...Agar khelna hain to woh sab leke khelo..isko chorke... Yeh meri dadaji ke hain. meri sabse favorite camera.meri luck champ.)
But today shravan didn'tsay anything.he just sat on the floor picked it and sadly smiled.
"It's OK sumo.raat kafi hogaye.. tum so jao.and don't worry yeh khuni tumhare room mein kabhi paav nehi rakhega.
shravan said and left the room. ________________________________
