Shravan was trying his best to hide his face. He was counting for him not to be seen. After a minute moving the card off his face he looked at the door and did not find the person.

He took a sign of relief and took the cold water glass near his lips

"Hi handsome!" A voice just next to him nearly choked shravan but he managed.

What the fuck??? Did he wanna give me a heart attack or something?

Shravan closed his eyes and calmed himself down. Moments later, he opened his eyes and passed a fake smile just for courtesy.

"I did not know even destiny want us to meet often." He said ever so sweetly moving his index finger on his face

Noo!!! Not again!

"Listen whatever your name is. I m not interested so please leave me alone" shravan said moving a little back to make a safe distance

"How can you forget my name so easily. Lemme introduce myslef again.Hey i m Cob!" Cob held his hand out to shake

"Okay Cob i m busy." Shravan said rolling his eyes not taking the offer

"You know what you look more handsome while doing that?" He tried to hold shravan's hand

What the hell is happening in my life???

Does he know nothing about consent???

"Listen" pointing his finger at cob shravan tried to say something but the water glass near cob's hand spilled on shravan's shirt

"ohh i m so sorry!! Let me help you." Cob said more like over reacted and got a little close to shravan

Somebody please help me!!!!

Is anyone listening????

Where is that stupid girl??

"Cob leave it okay i can do it" shravan said while cob was still busy rubbing tissue paper on his wet shirt

"I m just helping you honey!" He smiled

"I can do it myself" shravan's voice a pitch higher

"Shravan? Cob?" A voice turn both of them toward the speaker

I never liked her entry so much before

Like right now i can even hug her

My saviour!!!!

I will not fight with you from now on....okay cut that

I will try to not fight with you!

"Su you here what a surprise??" Cob hugged her and shravan got a minute to relax!

Phewwwwww!!!!!!! Finally!

"What are you doing here with shravan? You guyss know each other?" She asked looking first at cob and then at shravan

"NNNOOOOOOO" both suman and cob jumped the way shravan said that no.. To loud for many heads to turn toward them

"Okay" suman said looking at his face in confusion

"You guyss know each other??" Cob asked looking at shravan with a smile

"Yeah he is my husband" suman said pointing her chin at shravan

Huhhh!!! Take that you moron!

Shravan unknown to her was feeling so proud right then when she said that.

"Husband?" Cob murmured

"Yess H U S B A N D husband!!" Shravan spelled husband looking at Cob's not so happy face

Suman who was trying to get what was happening there. She was totally confused from his behaviour.

"Okay Su byee!! I have a flight to catch at 8." Cob said faking a smile

"Come have lunch with us?" She took his hand and make him sit

"But Su

"No but yaa we did not know when will we meet again. So plz" she said pouting at cob

"Okay" cob said stealing a glance at shravan

"Suman let me go i have an imp meeting" shravan said not being interested

"What is the problem with you two?? I really m hungry so cut the crap and let me order. No one is going anywhere." done with their behaviour suman yelled at them making them glued to their places

Suman ordered for them and shravan moved his chair more closer to suman making distance from Cob.

Suman rolled her eyes at shravan when she looked at him behaving strange.

They had their dinner in silence. Moving out suman was saying bye to cob for the last time while shravan was already in the car waiting for her.

Driving the car shravan can feel her staring at him. Too adamant to look away. Not able to take the torture anymore he asked

"What? Say it!"

"That should be my question. Whats with your behaviour there? Say it!"

"How will you react when someone is after you?"

"Means??" she asked confused

"He was literally all over me if you took a little more time in the washroom." Shravan shook his head saying that with a horrid face

Suman who was ready to retort back open her mouth to say something but the next secomd close it.

Shravan who was looking at the road heard sound of someone giggling.

He then looked at her and saw her palm coverimg her mouth to control her laughter

"Ha ha ha very funny!" Shravan said sarcastically

And the soft giggles turned into the loud laughter as she was not able to control herself now.

Soon he was also smiling with her as she could not stop laughing.

♤♤♤

Shravan was sleeping straight and suman was looking at his side face while lying next to the pillows in between them.

As the clock strike at 12'o clock. She smiled and hold his hand in hers carefully not to wake him up and kissed his knuckles.

"Happy Birthday Chashmish"

♤♤♤

Suman was making a cake when kamini entered the kitchen looking at her new polished nails.

"Suman you are making cake. Is something special today?" She asked with her sugary smile

"Yes chachi..its shravan's birthday and i wanna make it special" suman was too happy today cz she want to surprise him at night

"But shravan" before kamini can say anything her mind start working and she smirked looking at her

"Yeah sure. Let me know if you want any help. I m here. Okay!" She said touching her shoulder and make her way out. Now i cant wait for the night show! Its gonna be fun.

Suman knew shravan wont come before 8 cz according to pushkar he had a meeting at 5 which can take hours.

In the morning he left early when she was in kitchen making his favourite coffee.

She did not even saw his face and her chance of wishing him first has already gone.

Does not matter if i did not get the chance of wishing him first but i can make it special!!!

Since they married he never left so early. When she asked pushkar, he told her his schedule today is so packed up.

He intentionally told his PA to arrange so many meetings.

Kamini chachi thinks i dont know what is cooking in her head. But i know it all.

Because there are two people here who cares for me so much. Papa and pushkar obviuosly!

They already told me that shravan after that stupid breakup does not celebrate his birthday.

He stay away from everyone so that no one can wish him.

But still i want to do this cz the shravan i knew, loved celebrating his birthday. He used to remind me even before his birthday month started.

And there is one more thing i m gonna do. I will write chashmish on cake so that he will get to know i m his sumo.

Maybe then he will forget about his past and try to be happy. This is all what i want.

This will be a perfect birthday gift!! Isnt it???

But papa and pushkar thinks this is not a good plan.

Now if i planned all this then i cant back off?? Can i??? Because i m getting too many what ifs!!

No sumo you cant.. and just look at the bright side think what if he likes it??

Leaving all her pessimistic thoughts she concentrated on the cake.

With the help of vandy she decorated the living room with lights and balloons as perfect as it can be.

It was just a family affair she did not even invited tiwaris.

Because she was not sure if it is a right move. Still she went ahead.

Now everything is set everyone is home except shravan and papa.

Papa told me he is with a client so he will be home in 15 minutes but the important thing he said "shravan is coming home". I took him a minute to reach so we switched off the lights.

My heart is racing like it just finished a marathon.

And he is here!!!!!

As he came inside the living room. Lights got on with the birthday song sung by all of them in sync.

He was not moving from his place, his face was displaying the shock he got.

He glanced at everyone present there and then his face expressions changed from shock to anger.

"Who did this? he asked looking at pushkar.

Pushkar gulped looking at his brother's angry face. "Bhai"

Before pushkar can say anything suman came in front standing just opposite to shravan

"I did all this." She said looking straight into his eyes

You can do it sumo. Just say it.

"Who told you to do that?"

"No one but its your birthday."

"And i dont celebrate my birthday. I m sure pushkar must have told you that" he said giving a deadly glare to pushkar

"Yeah he did. But i want to do it."

Show him the cake you stupid before he murder you with his glares

Suman took the cake in her hands from the trolly and taking a step closer to him.

"Happy birthday

But before she can say chashmish the cake was already on floor thrown by him.

"bhaiya she was just

Shravan did not even let him complete "stop taking her side all the time pushkar"

Suman was just looking at the floor where the cake was lying.

She came out of trance by his high pitched voice making her shudder

"What the hell is your problem? I told you right to mind your own business then why?"

"Just for god sake stop poking your nose in everything. No one wants you here or atleast not me so stop acting like a wife. Actually you know what mistake is mine. I should not have laughed with you or talked nicely but that does not mean everything is okay between us. There is nothing like a couple between us so stop all this fake drama."

"Shravan stop talking like that to her" lalaji said to shravan

"I m sorry lalaji but she is responsible for all this. I dont know what her problem is. She did all this purposely so that she can take a dig at me. But i wont let that happen. You and your things in my room irritates me. I cant take you nonsense any longer. So stop this drama of yours and stay away from me as much as you can because i will never accept you as my wife."

Suman was listening to his outburst looking at the floor. She looked at him when he said the last line and a tear escaped from her eye.

She was hurt by his words is just an understatement.

She cant even express in words what she is going through right now.

Shravan went out blazing in fire. Taking his car out he increased the speed.

Suman went to their room and closed the door as the tears were not stoping. She looked at their room.

More than him she was angry on her for doing this.

You wanted to do all this. Now why are you crying??

He is not yours.

And he can never be

Stop acting like a teenager for god sake

He just told you the truth.

She went to the book shelf and start throwing her books out. Then she removed the colourful bed sheet and took out the frame. She went ahead and removed the bottles she hanged earlier. Still crying she threw them on floor in anger. Looking at the room all messed up she went outside and saw kamalji

"Remove all the colurful things from there and make the room just as he wanted" she said and went to the terrace. She needs some fresh air.

Sitting on the swing she looked at the sky, eyes all swollen up due to crying and she still have tears in her eyes.

Her hands were holding her legs as she placed her chin on her knees holding herself.

She wipped her tears when she felt someone sitting next to her.

"I m sorry it all happened because of me. If i didnot found you after so many years at tiwariji's place and told you about all his past and asked you for marring him. This wont happen."

"Papa please this was not your fault"

"No beta it was. But i was so blind for his happiness that i threw you into hell. When i saw you and him fighting for the first time. I saw him talking and smirking like a human. He wasnt smiling but at least was talking. When i came tiwarikilla i just wanted to know if you are married or not but i fought that you are sumo, his sumo and i asked you to marry him beacuse i thought only you can give me my old shravan back. But noo i was wrong."

"Stop blaming yourself. You just asked me to marry him but you did not imposed your decision on me. I did it with my will. So you are no where to be blamed."

"He does not deserve you" ramnath said as he wipped her tears holding her face making her chuckle

"Or maybe now i dont deserve my old chashmish?" She said smiling but the pain can be seen clearly.

Shravan was looking at the sky sitted on his car bonet. He was trying to calm himself down.

"You should not have talk to her like that" shravan heard from his right side. When he turned his head he saw himslef there.

"And why not?" Voice came from left. There was another him

"Because she did nothing."

"Taking a dig at someone is nothing for you?"

"Juzz she was just celebrating her husband's birthday. Is that too much for you?"

"But neither he asked for it nor he accept her as his wife"

"But she does and she showed it every damn time and they are married so technically she had every right."

"She knew that he did not want to celebrate still she pull that off. Why?"

"Mmm i dont know. Maybe she just want him to get over from his past and start afresh. Maybe she just wanted him to be happy."

"But may be she did all this just to make a fun of his past"

"Oh really? Did she ever do that before. She did not even asked what was the name of that girl. Just place your palm on your heart and tell me she ever made a fun of his past."

Shravan opened his eyes and saw his hand placed on his heart.

He looked around but no one was there.

Moving his hand in his hair he signed

"I think i just screwed."
