A long desperate night went by the atomising Mumbai. Last night was a dreadful one, she kept herself sane. She knew if she breaks he will be broken. Although not new for him. She knew it's hard to deliver the truth but acceptance was quite harder was known to her last night.

Mind and heart play their own game on a soul. And that innocent soul just rolls down to that part which is heavier on him. Keeping their heart open to someone is tough infact toughest, but he did. He did for her. To let her know she was no where at fault. It was their destiny that they lost everything at that age of innocence.

Suman thought herself lucky, at least she never witnessed her mother's death although her unconscious mind do make her remember of her mother lying dead in pool of blood. She was never told the real truth that her mother was murdered. She was informed that it was a suicide to save that innocence of 10 years old who finally came to the truth that her mum would never return to take her in a hug and say "Mumma loves you baby". The big jolt of truth hit her yesterday when Preeti revealed her the truth, truth of her life.

She was coming to terms of her life when again a lighting strikes her when she was informed about Shravan's surgery by Pushkar. And the toughest was to inform it to Shravan.

Suman entered his room with the help of her crutch slowly. She saw Shravan smile at her. She sat beside her. Shravan took her hand in his and kissed them. "Please don't strain your legs, your injuries are yet to recover dear" he said worried about her sprain in her ankle. "How can a man be so selfless?" She thought to herself.

"Shrav...Shravan...I need to tell you something" she said nervously her grip tightening on his hand. "Yeah tell me" he says looking at her. "Shr.. Shravan.. Actually..I mean" she wiped away her sweats with her other free hand. "Sumo...you know that you can tell me anything"

"Hmm..wo actually..your.. your reports have come up" Shravan somewhere knew it was related to his health and which was not a good one. He prepared himself for it and modded his head. "Actually..you...you have a cl..clot in your head..."She said cupping his face.."So..So...you...You need to undergo a minor surgery tomorrow"she said in a go.

"I am sorry Shravan..I am lying about the surgery to be minor." She said in her mind. "Don't lie me Sumo. Something major is there" he says when he finds her avoiding his gaze. "Ha..Ha..no..no Shravan th..this is only truth" she said.

"Ok..I trust you" he said with a smile. "Then why are you so worried about it Sumo. It's just a minor one. It will be over. Relax." He says and pulls her to sit on his bed. He also lifts him up and comes in position of half lying. "Sumo.. relax.. I am not leaving you so easily" he said jokingly. "Shut up" she whacked his arm. "I am not Letting you leave me so easily" he took her in a hug. "I love you" she says in the crook of his neck. "I love you too" he breaths up her scent.

"Sumo...."he says munching on apple.
"Hmm.."she says feeding him the other one. "Chachi is here!" He asked. "No Shravan she will be coming by tomorrow. She is not informed about your surgery. She will get worried." She says. "Yeah true. She loves me a lot" he smiles remembering the days of love and care from her.

"Mom used to scold me for my mischief but..but she would always hid me under her veil of love. She infact.. infact loves me more than Pushkar" he says. Suman keeps the plate aside and sits on his bed holding his hands in hers.

"Sumo...the day..the day I saw my mother lying there..."it choked him. Suman gives a warm press in his hand. "It's okay Shravan. If you don't wanna continue. We will discuss about this later."

"No Sumo.. it's enough of me holding and storing those emotions. Now this needs to open. It's high time. And no one better than you would understand me." He said. "I am always with you" she assured him.

"I was going to give a surprise to Mom and Dad. Their anniversary was coming up. But I didn't know that a big surprise was waiting for me." A pained chuckle came out of his throat.

Flashback

Dehradun

"Pushkar... Have you packed that gift?" Shravan asked Pushkar while packing up his stuffs and checking on other items. "Yes boss." Pushkar replies. After they complete their packing they throw themselves on the bed. "It's so long we will meet our parents" Shravan says. "Ya bhai. They have even shifted to Mumbai. Papa would come anytime soon. Let's get ready."Pushkar and Shravan run to the washroom to change into tees and pants. The cute little brothers were epitome of love, care and concern.

The two inseperable soul of Dehradun. Pushkar was know as shadow of Shravan. He used to follow him everywhere. He once said I will only work under you and no one can be my boss...

Soon Shyamnath comes to pick them up and they leave for the airport. They land on Mumbai after about 40 mins. "Bhai...this city is so big one." Pushkar just wondered about the high buildings touching the sky. "Bhai we will climb that building then we can see what's above the sky. I wonder what makes it black and blue." Pushkar cutely says. Shravan and Shyamnath laughs hearing him. "Idiot" he shakes off his head. As they were nearing the house they heard someone shouting.

Shyamnath and Shravan climbed down worried. They entered their house and found Kamini a crying mess. Shravan got terrified. "Chachi where is Mom and Dad?" He asked. "Beta..wo...wo...Shyam Ji they went to Priya's house. Suman had called her. It's giving me bad vibes and some shouts are also heard. Please go and check on them" she requested. "Lalaji...I will come with you" Shravan urged. "No beta. I will manage." Shyam makes him understand. "Please. I wanna see my mom and dad." He says.

Shravan had somewhere sensed of something very wrong. Shyamnath and Shravan came to the backyard of the house. And when they peeped inside it was the most shocking hell scene infront of their eyes. "Shravan..." Shyamnath hid him not allowing to see what's happening. Nirmala was being raped.

"Shravan you go back home. I am going inside to save them. Please please go back" he pushed him and went inside without looking back that the child wasn't gone. He stood there numb seeing his mom and dad in that condition. "Mom...Mom...Dad..Dad..." He whispered his lips quivering. Tears flowing. As soon as he heard two gunshots he came out of the reverie and saw Shyamnath and Ramnath in blood. And then one more gunshot and her mom was bleeding.

Sanjay exited the place. He immediately went inside the house and found a bedsheet there he covered his mom first and then ran to his dad. "Dad..Dad please please get up. Dad mum is bleeding get up." Then he crawled to Shyamnath. "Lalaji..lalaji please get up... lalaji" but non responded. "Mom..mom.." he patted her cheeks. And then found she was breathing. "Mom.." he smiled and his mother opened her eyes in pain. "Shravan..my boy" she smiled and lifted her hand to touch him. He took her hand in his and touched his cheeks. "Mom..mom" he cried. "Shravan... don't come here baby. Take Pushkar and Kamini and leave this place. Just go. And...and make us proud we are always in your heart baby. We love you a lot" she said tears flowing her eyes. "Mom.. please don't leave me. How will I be without you...Mom.. Don't do this to me. I love you a lot.. Mom. I love you" but his mom had closed her senses already to listen anything ever.

He left her hand. And he cried...he cried bitterly. Seeing blood everywhere made him mad.. completely mad about his fate. He suddenly hears his name called. "Sh.. Shravan" he turns back and finds Priya calling him. He runs to her. "Aunty...Aunty...where is Suman?" He asked. "Please promise me don't... don't let anything happen to her...protect her for life. ...and gi... give her a happy life." She requestes. "I promise aunty" he says.

Shravan runs back to home and informs Kamini about it. They immediately flee away to Delhi. They didn't even get time to remorse about their loss. A huge one. Shravan was now very different. A bottled person. No one knew what was going on in his mind. What he thinks? What he wants? He was just a emotionless soul breathing to live. But his one motto remain in his mind and that was Sanjay Sharma.

Flashback ends

Suman was crying with Shravan hearing him. His pain, agony. His sufferings. His struggle. She couldn't even imagine what was going within him. She wiped away Shravan's tears. "Shravan...I am really sorry for all this. I am sorry. I am...I am just too worst to call a human. To save my mum I destroyed everything. I destroyed your world. I broke you." She cried. "Sumo...Sumo..."he tried to sush her. "No..no Shravan you..you should hate me..I have..I have no rights to live. Shravan you should hate me." She freaked. "Sumo..." He took her in a tight hug and rubbed her back. "Sshhh...." Slowly she calmed down. And then hugged him back.

"Shravan...I am sorry.." she whispered. "It's okay Sumo. You are not at fault. Neither I. It was just to happen and it happened" he said calming her down. "Shravan will it affect our relationship ever?" She asked ever so softly. Shravan smiled burying his head into her neck and smelling her. "No..dear. That was your father and not you. Although you both share blood relation. But you both are different in person because you have Priya aunty in you. A similar replica of her. A kind hearted one." He said. Suman breaks off the hug.

"How can you be so forgiving Shravan" she asked looking at her lovingly. Shravan laughs at her question. "You had no fault then who am I to forgive you. You suffered as much as I had."

"Infact more than me. I had Chachi and Pushkar but you had none" he cupped her face. "No..Nanu was always there with me. He loves me a lot and cares for me a lot. Owh in that case. I didn't see him. I had totally forgotten about him. I have lot to say to him and also make you meet to him" she said with a smile. Shravan was shocked hearing her. He had completely forgotten about her psychic state. "Gosh! How can I.." he muttered underneath his breath. "Did you say anything?" She asks. "No nothing just little tired." He
said rubbing his temples.

"Owh sorry. You take rest I will call nanu" she said grabbing her phone. "Aa .Sumo.." he pulls her hand. Suman turns back and arches her eyebrows. "What?"

"Please stay with me. Till I recover. Preeti has informed him about you. We both will go there together." He says. "Okay" and she sits by him caressing his hair. He felt her fingers so right. So perfect.

After about an hour. Suman came out of his room and saw Preeti and Pushkar sitting there. "Preeti-Pushkar. You bith go back home and take rest. I am here with him" she says keeping a hand on Pushkar's shoulder. She knew what impact was it on him.

"Pushkar." She called. And he looked at hee with teary eyes. "Bhai..will be fine na" he asks her. "I assure you that. He will be all good" she says Although unsure of her own words.

After sometime Preeti and Suman sit together and sipped on the tea. "How did you meet Shravan?" Suman asked her gaze fixed on the cup.

"Di..When I was in my first year in San Francisco. Shravan was a senior to me and so was Pushkar. They had missed many years of their study so they were just two years senior to me. Shravan was a reserved person and Pushkar was just opposite the most bubbly, chirpy amongst the two but his eyes did speak volumes about his pain and agony. He has a very beautiful smile" Preeti smiled describing Pushkar. Suman was happy for hee sister. After all her choice was a good one. She sensed they were deeply in love.

"Then.." preeti continued. "Shravan one day approached me saying he needed to talk to me regarding you. I wondered how come he knew about you. He called me to a cafe. Pushkar and I had become good friends as he was a bright students and both were in forensic department... So you know note exchange. I trusted him and went to meet Shravan. Their he narrated everything to me. I was shocked was an understatement at that point of time. Rage filled in me" her eyes emoting same.

"Then we three started working together under a agency which was intelligence service under cops. We then came to know about Sanjay Sharma and his business in Singapore. I provided them information about you" Suman heard all silently. She was quite astonished to hear these things from Preeti she never imagined Preeti would be a part of this. She was so innocent.

"We started our journey from San Francisco to California and then finally Singapore. I and Pushkar went there with our changed identity to collect information and came to know about Aarav. Shravan chose to be a singer. It helped him to hide his real identity and also a source of earnings." Suman looked at her shocked.

"It was our luck or your destiny. Sanjay Sharma himself had send Aarav for your marriage. Mum didn't know about it. She wanted to get rid off you. So why not by this means. I was glad when I came to know about it and informed Arjun about it back Delhi. And also your scholarship was for Delhi itself. And by God's grace everything was falling on place. Until this Aditya came into your life."

"Why did Shravan kill Aditya?" Suman asked. "Because he was also one of the members of Sanjay and also he was cheating on you with Urvashi." It was too much for her to digest. "What the hell! But why did Shravan didn't inform me about it?" She asked. "He didn't want you to panic. And then your marriage happened. After that Aarav started blackmailing Shravan that if you were not reached to him then he would unveil his truth and also kill you. Shravan had no option then to give them to you. To keep you safe."

"Did they come to know about your plans and therefore they caught Shravan?" She sipped on to her tea which was almost cold now. "Yes that was somewhere true as they had attacked me and Arjun here in Mumbai and put us captivated us."

"What? You..you were captivated. Didn't they torture you? Did you get hurt?" She asked checking on her. "Relax di I am absolutely fine. You don't know your little sissy is an under cop. So no one dare to touch her. Ok!" She Chuckled.

"Who rescued you?" Suman asked assured about the answer. "Obvio di. The Malhotra brothers and some of our member. Although they didn't touch me but Arjun was badly tortured. He is hospitalised and little better." She said.

"Arjun was also in this!" Suman asked. "Yeah. He worked as PA for Shravan managing his event and also a very good computer hacker. So we needed him."

"Rescuing me gave an alert to Sanjay that Shravan was a threat to him. And that was what Shravan wanted. He wanted to reach to you to save you" Suman saw how badly he was beaten and all he did was for her. She smiled.

"He was connected to Pushkar via Bluetooth. We didn't know about that he would be beaten so much. And he would land up like this. Then I and Pushkar with other three members rescued Arjun from there and when we were ready Shravan attacked Sanjay and Aarav and finally you were rescued and also Sanjay Sharma was caught" She sighed. And so did Suman.

"Shravan loves you a lot. You are quite lucky." Preeti keeps her hand on Suman's "So you are Preeti" she also smiles to her.

"This is not the end. The case of Sanjay Sharma is yet left to be heard in the court. And this time the fight is a TOUGH ONE......
