Suman was losing herself down a cliff but just as she was about to fall off she heard someone.

"I'll kill your Shravan dangerously and painfully."

She lost her footing once at the cliff as her breath was going down. Doctor tried to give her chest thump so that she can breath but her pulse was going down and down. At the cliff she saw him. All bloodied and hurt severely. He screamed with pain and she screamed along with him but he fell off the cliff leaving her on the edge. She opened her eyes. Finally.

"Sumo! Sumo!"

"What did you do? Why Shravan? And how dare you?"

"I hurt myself. Just the way you did to yourself."

"I won't spare you. Chappal marungi."

"Sure! "

"Shravan please you go with the nurse you need medical treatment and we will save Suman. Though she already battled and won over death."

"Sumo! You said leaving me was not your choice but this time it is. You either leave me or live for me."

Shravan was taken to the other room for treatment while doctors worked on Suman. It was a hard ordeal of three hours. Shravan was sitting outside her room with lots of bandages now in hospital gown. Pushkar sat beside him and all others were also there but away from him so that he doesn't get angry again.

After three hours, Dr Ashwin came out and told Shravan.

"Shravan. She is fine now. Poison has been cleaned but her internal injuries would take at least a month to heal. We shall keep her under observation for 10 days here."

"Thank you so much doctor. I don't know what I would have done to myself if she..."

"Thanks to you. You brought her back to life."

"C..can I?"

"May be after a few hours. She is sleeping under effect of sedatives."

"Oh okay"

Nanaji came to Shravan after Dr Ashwin left. He asked for his forgiveness.
"Shravan please forgive this this old man of yours for the last time. I have always loved Suman like my Priya but I don't know when in haste of fulfilling my promise to Priya I started treating her as a burden and hurt her so much. I hurt you so much. If not for me she would have been fine and you wouldn't have to go through so much pain. I'm sorry."
Sometimes you hurt the ones you love the most unintentionally.

"I cannot say no to forgiving you because she loves you too much to blame you for anything. I know her she wouldn't blame anyone for anything." Shravan told the old man who was the mother figure in both his and Suman's life.

"Shravan!" Ramnath tried coming to him but Shravan raised a hand showing him not to move an inch.

"Not you Mr Malhotra and Mrs Ahuja as well. Sumo may have a big heart to forgive people but not me. I can't."

"Shravan?" Aditya was about to say something when Shravan barked at him.

"Now what do you want Aditya?"

"Why are you so angry boss? I didn't even know you both have such deep relations. I'm an outsider after all but a wanna be wedding planner. And my first would be yours and Suman's. Ain't hearing a NO brother. See ya" Aditya was calm and somewhat teasing at the end. He had for the first time witnessed such pure love which has no comparison of itself.

"What? And where are you going?" Shravan asked after him but he refused to turn and went off.
Shravan was amused for a few seconds but then ran inside her room.

He saw the tear marks. She must have been in pain since she woke up from death bed. He went near her and held her hand. He waited for her to wake up but the morning came slowly as he drifted off to sleep.

Suman woke up to the weight she felt over her hand. She tried turning to see but her abdomen didn't let her move. She winced of pain and pressure she felt in her stomach. This jolted up the weight on her hand, her Shravan.

"Sumo! Don't move. It will hurt. Can't you stay like that only?" He was worried but also angry.

"Why are you yelling at me?" She asked exasperated due to pain and his yelling.

"Then what do I do? Touch your feet and be a lost puppy over you. You freaking ate poison. Were you out of your mind? You..."

"It was rat poison biscuits. For a few hours it didn't even work I thought I won't die. And see I didn't. Well done Suman Tiwari. Back to hell. You know what Shravan now I don't even have a place to live. It was a silent promise that the day Mamiji gets her loan back I'll move out or be married off. Neither happened. I even sold PCT."

"What the heck? You sold PCT? Are you mad? Sumo you..."

"Shravan I planned it all to die but forgot to make my plan Shravan Malhotra proof." She said sarcastically.

"Right. You almost died. I should not yell at you. Okay tell me this first whom did you sell PCT to?"

"Poorna!"

"Really! We might get it back then. And now listen to me, you are not going to go back to those bloodsuckers. You'll move into your parents house. Though you'll be in hospital for 10-15 days. Till then I'll get you married anyhow."

"No no way I'm not marrying Aditya. Please Shravan why don't you understand I can't spend my whole life with someone I don't even like. You have given me this life back naa then give me chance also to live a little please. By my choice." Shravan was disappointed with the fact he didn't know now if she would accept his proposal or not. But was happy too at least she opened up.

"I'm sorry." He apologized for making plans for her life which should be by her choice.

"You still have to apologize for other things too."

"Like?"

"Like why the hell did you hurt yourself. You're totally covered in bandages and you look in miserable pain. Shravan you know it hurts me to see you hurt." She was shouting though it hurt but she was angry.

"Isiliye " (that's why)

" Shravan! "

"Chappal kab marogi?" (When will you beat me with your sandals.)

"Let me get up from here. Then I'll tell you."

"Sumo."

"Hmm."

"I don't know what would you say after hearing this but even if your reply is in negative I would happily accept. Sumo! When I told about your marriage. I didn't mean with Aditya but Chashmish. The one you loved since years. He will be back for you."

"He is already here."

"So I never told you this but tried many times though failed. I have loved you ever since I knew what love is and may be even before that. The day we met for the first time since then I've fought with my destiny for your attention and affection later on. I love you Sumo. I loved you even when we were miles apart. I was all busy trying to hate you but still I bought a necklace for you with my first paycheck. I was angry on you still celebrated your birthday and my birthday with your pictures in my room alone. I know you've got this life back by fate. And its totally up for your choice. Leaving me was not your choice but staying with me till we lose all our teeth can be your choice. Whatever choice you make I'm with you."

"I shall make my choice with a lot of thinking and comparing all the pros and cons. Right?"

"You should."

"Hmm so my choice is to Live my whole leftover life with you if you promise me a few things."

"Really? Whatever you want. "

"Listen first. They might be difficult for you."

"Okay go ahead."

"One, the angry and scary Shravan Malhotra should not come back. "

"Promise. Plus there won't be any reason for him to be back if he gets Sumo by his side."

"Cheesy much. Two, I want a proper communication between us. I don't want any misunderstandings to break us again."

"Promise."

"Three, Make me fall in love with Shravan. I already love Chashmish but his appearance is occasional. I want to love every part of you."

"Guaranteed."

"Four, I want a Christian wedding."

"Need to tell that self acclaimed wedding planner."

"Who? Pushkar?"

"No. Aditya."

"No way."

"Ha ha ha"

"Shravan! Don't call them bloodsuckers. They are my family. However they are they took me in when my parents left me alone in this world." He was impressed and may be understood Suman out of Sumo. He fell for Suman this time.

"Hmm. Okay. Umm Sumo?" He was hesitant and this way the room took a silence.

"What?" She looked curious though she can see his nervousness.

"Can can I ....I mean Can I kiss you?" Now he finally let out the words. The room fell silent and there was a thick tension.

Few seconds later,she replied which took his breath away.

"If you know how to. I've no idea."

He got up from his chair and went near her. He bend down a little and kept the eye lock. It was getting hot in there quite fast. He slowly bend more and she closes her eyes. He put his lips on her forehead and left a lingering kiss there. She felt it as the sweetest thing someone ever could do. Then he moved down and kissed her eyes and nose. Her breathing became laboured which scared him. Doctor told him if got laboured breathing again she will have pain in her abdomen. So he just left a lingering kiss on her right cheek and got up. He took his seat when she opened her eyes.

"I love you Sumo."

"Isn't it easy to say. Why did you take so much time?"

"Der kar di naa." ( I got late right? ")

" This is my choice Shravan. Before it really gets late. To be love by you and Love you till the end. I love you too."
