The Lost Memories: 1
Outside the Reunion Party:
The story begins right after Shravan insults Sumo at the Reunion Party. Sumo runs to her car to get as far away from Shravan as possible. She opens the car door, sits inside and slams it shut. All of the memories come rushing back into her mind. How Shravan had purposely got her excited about this party, making her soar high in the sky and then, all at once dragging her down into the dirt. Sumo put her head on the steering wheel and started crying.
Shravan was fed up with this party. The only reason he had thrown it was to get back at Sumo. To make her feel the same way that he had felt when she ignored him. He had no other reason to stay so he left for the Malhotra Mansion, his next goal was to leave India entirely. There was no way that he would be able to stay anywhere near that "selfish" girl.
Sumo was crying in her car for about 20 minutes now when her phone beeps.
Preeti's text: Di, where are you? We are all waiting.....Please come soon.
Sumo: Oh shoot, I completely forgot about dropping everyone at the airport! Now your done Sumo!! Hurry, Hurry (talking to herself)
She whipped off all of her tears and set out driving in full speed trying to get back to the Tiwari Killa so that she would be able to get her family to the airport at the right time!!
Tiwari Killa:
Manju Mami is going on, giving a lecture to the rest of the family about Suman's carelessness. The rest of the family is helplessly listening to her ramble while they stood there with all of their luggage in their hands.
Manju: I told you to book a taxi!! But no, all you guys do is believe Suman's sweet talking and listen to whatever she says!! Now I will be late for my flight and my poor son will be waiting for me.
Nanu: Manju, you know that Suman is a responsible girl! Some emergency might have come up and that is why she is running late. (trying to explain patiently)
Mamaji: Yes Manju, Suman never behaves like this, you know that right? It must have been something serious and that is why she hasn't returned yet.
Manju: Emergency?! Emergency?! Well why do these "emergencies" always come up when I am trying to meet my son!
Preeti: Mummy, please calm down. I think we should just call the taxi and leave. Suman di has the house keys and I will text her and tell her not to worry.
Manju: Your right Preeti, if we depend on that girl we will miss our flight.
Nanu: Ok, call the taxi. And Preeti be sure to tell Suman not to worry about us.
The Tiwari family leaves for the airport. Thankfully that catch the Taxi and reach just in time to board their flight.
Back to the Reunion Party:
Pushkar finally manages to find a date who will accompany him to enter the party. After going in he learns about the deeds that his brother has done.
Pushkar: (to himself) I can't believe you did all of this Bhaiya. You have no idea how Sumo must be feeling! I need to call her!!
Pushkar takes his phone out to call Sumo but she does not pick up. He tries a couple more times but no luck. Every single time her phone just rings but no one answers. Pushkar decides to message her. His message is sent and received but not yet seen by her, which he can tell by seeing the two white ticks.
Pushkar: (to himself) Why isn't she picking up?! I hope she is fine, she was so excited and now.......I need to go and check on her!! (Worried)
Pushkar rushes to the Tiwari Killa to find a lock on the door. Just then he remembers that the entire family was supposed to go to America and that they must have left by then. But Sumo had not yet arrived and her car was missing too.
Pushkar: (to himself) Where did she go??? Sumo!! Where are you...... God Bhaiya, why would you do such a thing, I have to talk to him!
Pushkar takes his car and drives back to the Malhotra Mansion. He is relieved to see that Shravan was home. At least one of them was, he thought. He quickly parked the car and rushed inside to Shravan's room.
Shravan was sitting on the couch with his hands on his head, in deep thought. For some reason he wasn't feeling happy at the success of his plans. Suddenly Pushkar barged into his room.
Shravan: Pushkar? What happened?
Pushkar: WHAT HAPPENED!? Your asking me? I should be asking you!! What happened!
Shravan: What are you taking about?
Pushkar: You know exactly what I am talking about!
Shravan: Pushkar I do not want to talk about anything related to the party, and I am very tired so please leave and let me go to sleep. (Annoyed)
Pushkar: I don't care if you don't want to talk, but I definitely do!........(taking a deep breath) What on earth were you thinking huh? Why did you do that to her?! Why Bhaiya!?
Shravan: I don't want to talk about Suman, so please leave me alone!
Pushkar: Bhaiya! Please don't even! I will not leave until I clear this matter!
Shravan: Pushk-----
Pushkar: You set all of this up right?! The party, the couple entry, you even invited her best friend! All of this just so she would come and you could insult her!! Why? Why did you have to rip her alive like that Bhaiya?
Shravan: That is what she deserves!!! And why should I care about her? Did she ever care about me?! About my feeling?!
Pushkar: BHAIYA SHE WAS A TEENAGER! SHE MADE A MISTAKE!! (Irritated and angry)
Shravan: So what!? I did the same! And now we are equal!
Pushkar: Wrong! You didn't do the same, you didn't make a mistake!!! You did it on purpose! It was REVENGE, not a mistake!!
Shravan: SO WHAT PUSHKAR!? I don't care!! I don't care about her or her feelings! And what's the difference because she never cared about mine!
Pushkar: What feelings huh Bhaiya??? I didn't even know that you had feeling? It's unfortunate to say that you not the same Shravan that left us behind ten years ago. You know why? Because that Shravan had a heart, and this one does not!
Shravan could not believe what Pushkar had just said. Of course he had a heart, it was a broken one but it was a heart. His anger overtook his mind and within a second he slapped Pushkar. As soon as the action was done he realized what he had just done. He had slapped his younger brother, his only friend left. Pushkar stood there shocked, with his hand on the cheek that was now red.
Pushkar: I'm not shocked Bhaiya, you just proved me right. YOU ARE NOT THE SHRAVAN BHAIYA THAT LOVED ME MORE THAN ANYONE.
Shravan: Pushkar, please I'm sorry. You know how much I love you right. Please Pushkar, forgive me. I'm really sorry. (Feeling guilty)
Pushkar: What do you know about love!? (Angry) Didn't you see it in her eyes?
Shravan: Pushkar who are you talking about? (Confused)
Pushkar: Who do you think? SUMO!! She has been in love with you for the past ten years!!!! Are you seriously that blind! Can you not see anything new past your ego!? BHAIYA SHE LOVES YOU!!!
Shravan: PUSHKAR? What are you saying? This is not true, she is just doing this because now I am a successful person. People would do anything to meet me, to know me, to be my friend!! She wants me for her own reputation! She wants to use me like she has been using since our childhood!
Pushkar: Your right, I didn't think that was true too. I thought she just considered you a friend, that she was using you, until........
Shravan: Until what?
Pushkar: Until one day, I was at her house. She told me to get something out of her closet. And do you know what I found in there? I found a box of letters!! All saying sorry. TO YOU!! She had hundreds of letters asking forgiveness!! SHE LOVED YOU!! SHE LOVES YOU!! She wrote what her heart wanted, all down in them, but never sent them!! And her heart wanted you!!!
Shravan: (speechless) Pushkar?
Pushkar: Bhaiya, you know who was the happiest person when they found out you were returning?? SUMO! She was so eager to meet you, to apologize, to be friends again, and to be more than that! But sadly her Shravan never came back!!
Shravan: (with tears in his eyes) Sumo loved me? Oh my god what did I do!! Sumo.......
Pushkar: what huh? Now you feel bad, you broke her to pieces today and---------
Pushkar is interrupted by a phone call.
On phone:
Pushkar: Hello? Who is this?
Pushkar: Hello? Who is this?
Police: This is the police, sir, am I talking with Pushkar Malhotra?
Pushkar: Police? Yes! This is Pushkar.
Police: Are you related to Miss Suman Tiwari?
Pushkar: Yes! She is my friend, is everything alright?? Is she ok??
Police: I'm sorry to inform you, but Miss Suman has been in a severe car accident.
Pushkar: WHAT?????!!!!!!
Police: She is admitted in the hospital, please come here as soon as possible.
Pushkar hangs up the phone and falls to the bed.
Shravan: PUSHKAR WHAT HAPPENED? Pushkar say something!!
Pushkar: Sumo.......
Shravan: Pushkar what happened to her??
Pushkar: Bhaiya she got into an accident. She's at the hospital. (Tearing in his eyes)
Both of the brothers ran to there car with tears in there eyes. Shravan stomped on the gas pedal and zoomed to the hospital. Both running into the emergency section as soon as possible to meet the police asnd doctor, who were standing there waiting for them.
Shravan: Sumo!!! Doctor how is she? When did this all happen.
Doctor: I'm sorry sir, she is still critical we are trying our best.
Pushkar: (tears falling out) But how did all of his happen???
Police: She was driving her car past the stop light. I guess she was very distracted or in a hurry but she ran through a red light. Unfortunately a truck hit her car in full speed. The entire car rolled over the side of the hill. With much difficulty we took her out and brought her here. When we looked through her stuff, we found her phone with multiple miss calls from you which is why I called to inform. Now that you guys are here, I will take a leave.
The police left and the doctor went inside to the room with Sumo. Shravan and Pushkar followed him until they were stopped to go any further. They looked through the small window to get a glimpse of Sumo. She laid there, on the bed, lifeless. Shravan was crying now. His hands fisted and full of guilt. Pushkar was also sobbing seeing his best friend lay there. The girl that was always jumping around, laughing, smiling, and fighting with the world was now on the hospital bed. Pushkar looked towards Shravan.
Pushkar: Bhaiya if anything, and I mean anything happens to Sumo, I will never forgive you.
Shravan: Pus-------
Pushkar: Just shut up Bhaiya!! This is all YOUR FAULT! And I promise if anything happens to her then I will forget that I ever had a brother named Shravan!
Pushkar stormed out to the counter to handle the hospital formalities, leaving behind a devastated Shravan.
Shravan: (to himself) Sumo? Sumo please, I'm sorry. Won't you forgive your Shravan? Please Sumo, wake up. I won't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to you. Please Sumo, I promise I will make everything better. Please Sumo just wake up one time.
Pushkar walks back to Shravan and glares at him. Just then the doctor comes out.
Doctor: Miss Suman is awake now. You may see her.
Pushkar and Shravan rush into the room with a smile of relief on their faces. Sumo is laying there, with her eyes open. However upon seeing Pushkar and Shravan, she does not respond.
Pushkar: Sumo!!! Are you crazy, you have no idea how scared I was!!
Shravan: Sumo? (With tears in his eyes)
Sumo: Sumo? Who is that? (Confused and serious)
Pushkar: (shocked) Sumo! What are you saying?! You know that I call you Sumo! Bhaiya is that one that gave you that name!!
Sumo: Bhaiya? Pushkar, who is this guy with you? Are you the doctor? (To Shravan)
Shravan: Sumo! It's me Shravan! (Confused)
Sumo: Who is Shravan and who is Sumo?! Pushkar, my name is Suman! Remember. And who are you?! (Pointing at Shravan)
Pushkar: Shravan Bhaiya! You don't remember him?? He is your childhood best friend. Sumo your name is Suman but everyone calls you Sumo!
Sumo: I don't know what your talking about Pushkar! And where is everyone??
Pushkar: Your family went to America tonight, remember anything????
Sumo: (suddenly remembering she had to drop them off) Pushkar!! I had to drop them off!! Let's go!! (Trying to get up)
Shravan: Sumo what are you doing?! You need rest!! And don't worry about your family, they made it to the airport and are on their flight.
Shravan and Pushkar leave the room. Both shocked and confused as to what was going on. They both spoke to the doctor who went inside to do the routine checkup. After about 30 minutes the doctor came back outside.
Shravan: Doctor! Is she fine? Why doesn't she remember me? What's going on?? (Worried)
Doctor: Mr. Malhotra, I'm sorry to say but she has a rare form of Amnesia. She seems to not remember anything related to you. What exactly happened before the accident.
Shravan and Pushkar explain the incidents of the night to the doctor. After thinking for a long time, he came to a conclusion.
Doctor: Well this makes much more sense now. Miss Suman had gone through a traumatic incident before the accident. Her entire mind was focused on you, it seems like. Therefore after being hit on the left lobe of the brain, she seems to have forgotten every memory related to you. This is any extremely rare condition, however, it is the brains way of dealing with trauma. Since she was so hurt by the incidents prior to the accident, her brain is protecting herself by blocking any memory connected to you. It's called a defense mechanism.
Shravan: (devastated) Sumo forgot me? How can she forget me?! She loves me and------
Pushkar: AND WHAT BHAIYA! This is all your fault! You hurt her so much, you ripped her into pieces and now your asking why she forgot you!!
Shravan: Pushkar I love her!!!! I love her damn it! And I won't let her forget me! NO! Sumo is mine! I will make sure she remembers everything!!!
Shravan tells Pushkar that he has a plan to revive all of her memories, and leaves. Pushkar takes Sumo home after she gets a discharge. Since no one was at the Tiwari Killa anymore they decided to take her to the Malhotra Mansion. Everyone there was already informed on her condition and ready to help out. When she entered the place she seemed to remember everything, except Shravan.
Kamini: Suman beta! Look, consider this you home ok? And don't feel shy at all! All of this is yours!
Sumo: Thank you Chachi!
Ramnath: Suman beta, please don't worry about anything. We are all over here for you ok?!
Shravan enters the house, wearing the same clothes that he used to wear as a teenager. A plaid shirt with jeans and the most important thing, his nerdy glasses. Sumo looks toward him, and he eagerly waits for a response, unfortunately he gets a blank face. Shravan stays strong, not wanting to lose any hope.
Pushkar: Bhaiya?! You look exactly like Sumo's Chasmish!! (Laughing)
Shravan: Shut up Pushkar! Anyways, Sumo you must be tired. I'll show you your room.
Vandy: Shravan I have gotten the guest room ready for her, don't worry.
Shravan: No bhabhi. Sumo with stay in my room. I will stay in the guest room.
Sumo: (uncomfortable) No Sh...Shravan I will stay in the guest room.
Shravan: No Sumo! I said that-------
Sumo: My name is Suman. (With a straight face)
Shravan: Suman, sorry. Please stay in my room. (Desperately)
Sumo: Ok fine. I will stay there, thank you.
Shravan: No problem.
Sumo: Umm can you please help me? (Looking at her bags)
Shravan is delighted to see Sumo asking for help. With a huge smile on his face. He carries her bags and escorts her to his room.
Shravan: Suman, all of this is yours to use. Feel free to take anything, and if you need anything let me know.
Sumo smiles at him and looks around at the room as if she had never been there before. Shravan stares at her.
Shravan: (in his mind) Sumo don't worry. I will fix everything, I promise. And soon this room with be yours and you will be mine.

***Part 2 of 2
Shravan went to sleep in the guest room. He was possessive about his room but Sumo was the most important thing for him. He had no idea that Sumo had felt for him the same way that he had felt for her. They had wasted so many years away from each other . And even after he returned he had made a grave mistake. Mistake? No, it wasn't a mistake, it was revenge and now he felt extremely sorry. He had hurt her, hurt her very much. And this reflected on her injury, she was so hurt that in order to survive the pain, she had to forget him.
Shravan: From now on Sumo, I will not let anything hurt you. I promise to give you our memories back. And every memory that I screwed up, I promise to fix.
Morning:
Shravan woke up that morning and recollected the things from the day before. A pang of guilt, once more hit him. He got out of bed and went to his room.
There she was. Suman to the world, but to him, Sumo. She slept peacefully on his bed. The fan was blowing her hair on her beautiful face. He could see the couple of stands that were bothering her. Shravan moved towards her and knelt besides the bed. He started to move the pieces of hair just then she opened her eyes.
Sumo: Ahhhh!! What are you doing by me!! Stay away or else I will beat you up!! (getting up with anger)
Shravan fell back at the sudden outburst of Sumo.
Shravan: Sumo, Sumo calm down. Relax.
Sumo: My name is Suman! Got that? And get out of this room, or else I will!! (shouting at him)
Shravan: No, no. Its ok I will leave.
Pushkar enters the room.
Pushkar: Bhaiya? Hey Sumo. How are you feeling now.
Sumo: Good Pushkar. Much better.
Shravan: Her name is Suman, right? (looking towards Sumo)
Sumo: Pushkar is my friend, he can call me whatever. But I don't even know who you are! (glaring at Shravan)
Pushkar: And that is why I am here, so that you can remember Shravan Bhaiya and everything can be back to normal.
Shravan: Suman, we are going to go to our school today.
Sumo: Ok fine, Pushkar can you help me dress this wound.
Shravan: I will do it. (Concerned)
Sumo: No! I asked Pushkar, and I think you should leave. (turning her head away)
Shravan feels pain in his heart. He can tolerate everything, but Suma's rejection always hurt him the most.
Pushkar: Actually.........Sumo, let Bhaiya do it, anyways I have to go to work. So you and Shravan Bhaiya go to the school together.
Sumo: But Pushkar-------
Pushkar: Sumo, as long as Bhaiya is with you nothing will happen. He will take good care of you, don't worry.
Pushkar smiles at Suman and gives Shravan a reassuring look and then leaves. Shravan turns his head back to Suman who was staring at him. He takes a box of medicine from one of the cabinets and then sits on the side of the bed. He slowly removes the bandage that was on her forehead. In the process he glances at her eyes which were fixed on him. They were inches apart, and it felt so good to Shravan to be close to her. But he knew reality and that was that, no matter how close they may be physically she had no clue of his existentence. She did not remember their friendship let alone their love. Shravan was trying to stay strong, but it was getting harder and harder.
He finished the dressing and went to put the box of medicine back from where he had gotten it.
Sumo: Thank you.
Shravan: (turning back and smiling) Your welcome. Ummm....I think you should get ready so we can go.
Sumo: Yes, I will go now.
Shravan and Sumo leave together in Shravan's car. The drive for about 15 minutes when the car breaks down.
Suman is standing by the car as Shravan is trying to see if he can do anything to fix it. All of a sudden he sees a car approaching close to where Suman is standing. He runs up to her and pulls her into his arm, shielding her from anything that tired to hurt her.
For Suman it happened all of a sudden. She was staring at the ground and thinking about the things going on. She could love in his eyes, but also guilt. What had happened, she had no clue. She did not understand as to why he was the only person she couldn't remember. Something was missing and she need to know what. Were they really best friends, or were they more. And if that was the case then how did she end up like this? In all of these thoughts she completely forgot that she was on the edge of the road. Within a second, she found herself being pulling into him. He hugged her protectively and prevented her of getting hurt. She was shocked, but somehow, she found herself very comfortable in the position they were in. It felt good to her.
Shravan was no less. He was worried that she would get hurt, despite knowing that he no longer had any right over her, he still pulled her into his arms. He thought that as soon as the car passed she would protest or move back, but she remain there. It felt good to him, she seemed to trust him. She started to move out of the hug after a couple of minutes.
Shravan: (concerned) Are you ok?
Suman: Yeah, thank you.
Shravan smiled at her and was about to say something when the mechanic arrive. He explained the problem to the mechanic who got to work. Shravan went up to Suman and told her to sit in the car as it was much more safe. He made sure that she was properly seated and then went back outside.
Suman: (in her mind) Why can't I remember who he is. It feels so good to be around him but then it hurts. What is happening to me. Everyone says that we are friends, but in his eyes I can see more. I can't remember him though, and I can't trust him either, but somehow, my heart does.
As soon as the car is fixed Shravan comes back inside and they drive off.
Shravan spends the entire day taking her around school and redoing the things that they used to do in school. He takes her around to every class, the secret places that they would meet at and even the library. Unfortunately Suman does not remember Shravan as a part of any of her memories. All she knows is that she had a lot of friends in school, and that she was one of the popular kids, but there are a lot of memory gaps. No matter how much she tries she can't recall ever meeting a guy named Shravan.
Shravan feels defeated. He cannot bare this. Every time she treats him like a stranger, he dies a little on the inside. But after all this was his fault. He wanted her away from his life, but now that she was, he couldn't take it.
Suman: Shravan, umm I don't remember anything. I know that we must have had something, because I can see it in your eyes, but I don't know. I want to trust you but you are a stranger. At least that is how I feel. But despite everything, I still want to trust you.
Shravan: Suman its tot-------
Suman: Sumo, you can call me Sumo.
Shravan: (smiling) Sumo, it's totally fine. I understand. And the doctor said that it will take a while but your memory will defiantly be back. Don't worry. And also I wanted to say sorry about this morning. I shouldn't have come in like that with out your permission. Sorry.
Suman: You don't have to be sorry, it was your room.
Shravan: Sumo, do you want to know how you got your name?
Sumo: Yes! How did I go from Suman to Sumo?? (smiling)
Shravan spends the rest of the day explaining their friendship around school. The way that she was the popular kid and he was a nerd. How they used to hide to meet each other.
Sumo: What did we do after school? I mean, we must have had some good times together after that too.
Shravan: uhhh, actually..........Sumo I went to London for 10 years.
Sumo: What? You went to London?! Ok, but you must have come back here to meet me right? After all we were best friends!
Shravan: Sumo.........actually the thing is that some stuff happened between us and I got mad at you and decided to leave. I know it wasn't the right thing but---------
Sumo: What did I do?
Shravan: Nothing Sumo, and I don't think that you should worry about it.
Sumo: Shravan, you went to London for 10 years, I must have done something bad. Please tell me Shravan, maybe I will remember.
Shravan explains to Sumo how he came to see her that day at school when his mom left. But instead of supporting him and concealing him, she mocked him in front of the entire school.
Sumo: WHAT?! Shravan, I did all of that to you and you are still here taking care of me!! (shocked) Why?! Shravan I am such a horrible person why would you stay with me?!
Shravan: Sumo, that's not true. Whatever you did was wrong but you were an innocent child who had lost both of your parents. All you wanted was people to be around you and talk to you so that you won't feel lonely.
Sumo: But Shravan, I hurt you. And despite everything that happen why would you stay here with me?
Shravan: Because I am no less. Sumo, you hurt me a lot that day but............but I hurt you too. (with guilt)
Sumo: What do you mean?
Shravan: Sumo, when I came back, I had so much hatred for you. In fact I am the reason you are in this condition.
Sumo: What???! (shocked and confused)
Shravan: I invited you to a reunion party. I asked you out as my date. And when we got to the party I insulted you in front of everyone the way that you had once done. I know what I did was wrong, but I was blinded by my desire of revenge. I wanted to get back at you and.........
Sumo: (with tears in her eyes) Shravan, you hated me that much? I guess I deserved---------
Shravan: NO SUMO! You did not deserve that! I admit that what you did was wrong but I shouldn't have done that to you. The truth was that you completely changed as you grew older and I failed to recognize it.
Sumo: But how did my accident happen?
Shravan: That night at the party, you left. But I still wasn't done, so I went outside and insulted you even more. You left, angry and hurt. On your way home a truck hit your car and........
Sumo: And I forgot you. But what you did was right, I needed to realize the mistakes I made. But I forgot you, how can I just forget you like that? I mean we were friend and friends fight all the time.
Shravan: Sumo, we weren't just friends.
Suman: What? (confused)
Shravan: We were............ Let me show you something!
Shravan drives Sumo back to the Tiwari Killa. He rushes to her room and pulls out a box of letters. The same box that Suman had stored carefully, since it contained her memories with Shravan. He had found that box when he came to prepare his plan to revive her memories. He takes the box and gives it to her.
Suman: What is this? (taking the box)
Shravan: Open it and you will understand everything. This is yours.
Suman opens the boxes and one by one starts reading all of the letters. There are hundreds of "sorries" and guilty confession letters. Tears are flowing from her eyes, and Shravan whips the off gently. Suman then picks up the letter that she wrote, where she confessed that she fell in love.
Dear Shravan,
I know that you are angry with me and left. I know that I was a horrible friend. I broke your heart and you left me alone. I'm sorry Shravan. The truth is that only after you left, I realized that I only had one true friend. You. Shravan, maybe in front of the school I have the most friend but the reality is that you are my only friend. Nothing has been the same since you left. I have nobody to talk to. Nobody to share my pain. There are many people I know from school, but my heart only wants to open up to you. Shravan, I miss you. I am so lonely and lost without you. Please Shravan, forgive me and come back. I need you, I need you so so much. I promise I will never make you do my work or taunt you in front of the class. Shravan I don't know whats happening to me. I feel scared. I don't what to be alone anymore, but I don't want anyone else's presence either. I only want yours. I only want you. I only see you. I only think about to. And I only........Shravan I only love you. I didn't know what love is until I lost you. I love you Shravan. Please come back. I will wait for forever if I have to, but just please come back.
Your Sumo. 1
Suman has tears streaming from her eyes. Shravan had already read this letter when he came to get Suman's things after she was discharged from the hospital. He had cried far more than her but this letter was now his strength. He needed this strengthen to hold him together and give Suman her memories back. Suman looks up and Shravan. All of the memories flashing in front of her eyes and she collapses right on the spot. Shravan quickly grabs her and tries to wake her up but no luck. He picks her up and lays her on the bed, sprinkling water on her face.
Shravan: Sumo?? Sumo, are you ok?
Sumo: (waking up) Shravan? Shravan, why? (crying) Why did you do this to me? (sobbing)
Shravan: (trying to hold her) Sumo, stop crying and tell me what you remember.
Sumo: Stay away from me Shravan!! I remember everything!! How you took my heart and tore it up into pieces!! EVERYTHING!!! Just leave me alone!!!! (crying)
Shravan: Sumo, please! I am sorry, I know what I did was wrong. But now I know that truth and I promise I won't hurt you again. (trying to convince her)
Sumo: I SAID LEAVE!! (pushing him away)
Shravan: Sumo please I am not leaving until I give an answer to your letter!
Sumo: What? This letter, well it no longer applies anymore! I hate you Shravan!!! (tearing the letter in half)
Shravan: (with tears in his eyes) Please Sumo, just once. Let me---------
Sumo: GET OUT! NOW!! Or I will leave, and I will not come back!!
Shravan stands up and leaves the house after taking a good look at her. He stands in front of his car and falls to the ground.
Shravan: (crying bitterly) I am so so so sorry Sumo..........please.........I won't be able to live without you.........I know I was wrong, but don't leave me. Don't hate me Sumo. (sobbing) I lov........
Shravan gets himself together and returns back home to Pushkar who was waiting for him. Pushkar runs up to him as soon as he sees is condition. Shravan explains to him everything that happened. How he showed her the letter, how she remembered everything, and also how she told him that she hates him.
Pushkar: Bhaiya don't worry. I know Sumo loves you, but she is just angry and hurt. I will fix all of this I promise.
Pushkar went back to the Tiwari Killa to try and talk with Sumo. At first she was in not interested to talk to him because she knew what the topic would be about. But thankfully Pushkar decided that is was best to leave the party and the last couple of days out of everything.
Pushkar: Sumo, can you come over for dinner at my house. I am all alone, actually the family went to some wedding and even Shravan Bhaiya left.
Sumo: Shravan left?
Pushkar: Ya, Bhaiya went back to London.
Sumo didn't say a word, after all she had told Shravan to leave. But despite everything, her heart hurt. It was happening all over again, and she did not want to break. She knew that she would have to stay strong and get used to this. Shravan was no longer the Chasmish she fell in love with. This Shravan was a whole new person, the old Shravan was somewhere lost. And she knew that she had a hand in losing her Chasmish. Whatever had happened, she would have to move on. And clearly Shravan did, which is why he ran off to London one more time.
Sumo: OK Pushkar, I will be there.
Pushkar tells her to come at 6 and then leaves. As soon as Pushkar left the house, the tears that she had been controlling fell out.
Sumo: (crying) Why Shravan?! Why do you always do this to me??!!
Sumo spent the rest of her day crying, but she knew that she would have to get over all of this soon. She whipped her tears and made her way to the Malhotra Mansion.
She entered the house to find it empty. She shouted Pushkar's name but no response came. She tried to call him but his phone was turned off. She kept on wondering where Pushkar had gone. Then she thought that he might be caught up in a meeting so she decided to wait.
She was walking around the house thinking about Shravan when she heard sounds coming from the garden. Curiou,s she went to make sure that no one had snuck into the house. On her way to the garden she grabbed a vase to be on the safe side.
As soon as she walked in the garden, the vase that she was holding in her hands, fell to the ground, shattering.
Sumo: SHRAVAN??!!! (surprised)
Shravan was sitting there with a piece of paper in his hands.
Shravan: Before you say anything, sorry. Pushkar planned all of this so whatever you want to say, say to him. But for now, I have something to tell you.
Sumo: What the hell is all of this Shrav----------
Shravan cuts her off and begins to read the piece of paper that was in his hands. What was this paper? The letter that he had wrote as a kid, confessing his love for Sumo
Shravan: (ending the letter) Is this love?
Sumo stood there with tears in her eyes.
Sumo: YES SHRAVAN!!! THIS IS LOVE!!
Sumo went running into Shravan's arms and embraced him as if letting go would be the same as letting go of life.
Shravan: (with tears in his eye) I love you Sumo!!! I love you so so so much!! I am sorry for everything I did.
Sumo: I love you too Shravan.
Shravan: Can we please start over?
Sumo lets go of the hug and walks out of the garden, leaving a confused Shravan behind. After about a mintue, she walks back in to a still, very confused Shravan.
Shravan: Sumo? (confused)
Sumo: Hi, my name is Suman, and my friend call me Sumo.
Shravan: (smiling) Hi my name is Shravan, and I only have one friend, who calls me Khadoos! But despite everything, I love her more than anything in the world. And today I want to ask her something.
Sumo: What?? (smiling)
Shravan: (getting down on his knees) Will you marry me? (holding out a ring)
Sumo: It's about time!!!!
Shravan slides the ring through her delicate fingers and gives him a kiss.
AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!
