Ek Duje Ke Vaaste: Love, Friendship, or Something More? Epi 17

Hi…How r u all? All fine? Sry for a late update, I forgot to post it.
Before I get started I wanted to ask wht’s wrong with TU EDKV squad? I’m not that disappointed with fewer comments on my last update, coz I can understand u all r busy. I just hope u can manage reading it. What I’m upset abt is less ffs/shots. Before it use to more than 4-5 epis of diff ff updated each day nd now!!! Hardly 2-3. Ik u aIl r busy somewhere but hey I’m busy too. I got my Diploma exams coming soon yet I can manage 10-15 mins a day just to read all of ur ffs nd comment some of my stupid thoughts. Can’t u guys do tht much for me? Just post some epis…Short if so but do post. I miss all those who have been inactive. Pls come online nd just say a hi to me somewhere. Direct msg me or comment on one of my very old epi or reply on my comment on any other’s ff…anywhere!! Just let me know u didn’t pass out. I miss u guys…Pls b back….

Kkk enough of emotional melodrama..now the epi:

Recap: Suman comes to Rahul (her to be hubby)’s bday party nd gets to knw he works in Malhotra Associates Company. Shravan nd PreeKar also at the party.

Epi 17

Suman *nervous*: Shr..Shravan mai woh…
Shravan *faking a smile*: Looking nice
Suman *Confused*: Umm…thanks…Waise dekho hum dono matching pahna hai. *points at his blazar pin and the cloth on his pocket, then at her dress*
Shravan *cold*: Par tum toh mere partner nahi ho, so does it matter now?
Suman: Sorry…Pls listen to me…

Shravan: It’s okay Sumo. Jabse tumhari shaadi ki baat samne ayi hai, u…u have been hiding things from me. I don’t know what’s ur problem with me. I guess u don’t trust me enough *Suman nods a no* but it’s fine. *He bends his muscles to smile* I do…
Suman *high tone*: Areh mere baat toh suno. Ek sec ke liye chup kodoge? Let me speak.
Shravan: U don’t have to prove urself. Girl….I trust u despite of however lies u tell me.
Suman’s heart was filled with guilt. She knew she should’ve shared the Ritik topic with him…wait…he was lying to her too…He said it’s fine when both knew it wasn’t…
Suman *coughed to clear her tone*: Jhut tumne bhi bola

Ritik on the stage: Ladies and gentlemen, cake toh baadme bhi cut sakti hu, no hurry. Come on everyone join me on the dance stage.
A girl walks to Shravan
Girl: Hi handsome *Shravan ignores while Suman’s eyes grew wide* Oh charming bomb, wanna dance with me
Shravan: Talking to me?
Girl: No, to the hottest guy present here. *clutches the collar of Shravan’s blazar* Let’s go. I’m dying to dance with u
Shravan: Excuse me…Ummm pls…pls move ur hand *points at his blazar collar*
Girl: Oh shy ho. It’s okay baby. I would love to
Suman finally spoke who couldn’t take it anymore: Excuse me woh

Ritik: Suman come let’s dance. *grabs Suman’s wrist and pulls her to the dance floor*
Ritik kept his one hand on her waist and the other holding her hand, while she kept her left hand on his shoulder. Her back was pointing towards Shravan. He couldn’t just see them together any more. It was enough to make his mind toxic. He couldn’t believe his simple Sumo wore backless gown. She has changed so much! Yet she looked splendid. He couldn’t remove eye from her back for a second until that girl interrupted putting her hands around his neck.

Shravan: Excuse me, pls leave me alone.
Girl: Lambu, dance!!!
Shravan *pissed off*: Look pls go. Nd for ur kind info, I’m already taken *wait…did he just say he’s taken? But…by whom? Shravan was never so confused with his words…Then, involuntarily, his eyes caught Suman*
Girl *notices Shravan staring at Suman*: Acha….So Ritik ka partner ke sang naaaa? *humming her words and giving a teasing look* Hottie, I really wish I could help u, but Ritik is my bestie!!! No way can I let his lady go off hand.
Shravan *realizing the girl isn’t “so” bad*: Nahi nahi…Tumhari bestie ka partner mera bestie hai.

Girl: Aha…So bestie wala love shove right?
Shravan looked down. He had no clue what to say. Why was all off a sudden it so hard for admit to the fact she was just his friend and nothing more? And…if it was love, then why couldn’t he stick to his love? How come he was standing near the beer stalk nd watching his lady with another guy? It wasn’t love then….

Girl: Awww…Lambu toh lal hogaya!!! Okay, itna handsome ho ki I really can’t leave u like this. Come lets dance *Grabbed his hands and pulled him to the dance floor.*
Shravan *shocked*: Hey I said I don’t wanna dance *looked at Suman who seemed very comfortable doing different steps with her to-be husband*
Girl: Look lambu, hum dono ke dance karnese donoka hi faeda hai. Agar tumhari bestie hume ek sath dekhar jealous hui toh samajhna she takes u more than a bestie. Agar jealousy se kuch zyada hi jogae toh 100% she LOVES u. And mujhe nahi lagta koibhi ladki hai joh TUMHARI hotness to resist karsakta hai. *Shravan smiled remembering how Suman reacted whenever she saw him shirtless*

Shravan *Pulling the girl enough close to dance freely*: ooookaaaayyyy….Aur tumhara kya faeda?
Girl: I can dance with a handsome hunk for a night! *Winks and surrounds her hands around his shoulder*
Both were on their ease. While the girl let herself on him completely, his eyes were mostly towards his lady who didn’t even seem to notice him. How could she? That stupid Ritik was blocking her vision with his giant body.
Girl: Jaali?
Shravan *frustrated*: She isn’t even noticing me
Girl: Bhul jao. Ladki tumko friendzone kardia. *laughs slightly*
Shravan *angry*: Friendzone nd Shravan Malhotra? Just wait and watch what I am. *smirks*

-Suman’s side-

Ritik: So, Ms. Suman say me about u
Suman *uncomfortable*: Nothing *Realized neither Shravan, nor that stupid girl was near the beer stalk*
Ritik *pulling her even closer by her waist*: Come on Suman…I’ll be ur husband. Feel free. What attracts u? What makes u feel happy? Tell me what u like and don’t like in boys
Suman *tensed + annoyed*: Thik hai…I have an obsession towards “angry young man” type guys *smiling at her words* Like u knw those boys who r hard to the world but melts to their own. I LOVE them!!!
Ritik *confused*: Okkkkaaaay…Like SRK?

Suman: Seriously? He is a flirt. I don’t like him. Like uk Fawad Khan…Ritik Roshan…Akshay Kumar…
Suddenly her eye catches an enormous muscular body with a tiny little figure. Wait…Is that…is that Shravan with that cheap girl? Her eyes grew wider and wider…She could just see his back. How come he is so comfortable with an unknown girl? His hands perfectly traced her waist and their centimeters of gap would be erased any moment. Her mind went all insecure for a while.

-Shravan’s side-

Girl: Done…She likes u
Shravan: Obv she likes me. I’m her best friend
Girl: Areh lambu tumhare brain kya ghutno pe hai?
Shravan: Oxford Graduate. Tumhara bestie ka boss.
Girl: But love ke mamle mei fail…Damn she likes u not in the sense of a Best Friend Forever but in the sense of Boy Friend Forever.
Shravan *not listening to her words carefully*: I knw….*realizing what she said* Kya!?!?!?!?!?

Girl: Areh mu toh band kado. Nd yah ladki jail. Her eyes her even wider than ur mouth. *Shravan tries to turn around when she pulls him closer* Seriously? Y r u turning around?
Shravan: To see her reaction
Girl: U seriously need some love classes. *shravan gives an uninterested look* okay fine…But if u turn around then she’ll understand. Wait lets switch spots so that u can see her. Remember, 1. Don’t look at her directly. 2. Play with ur hands coz she can see my back clearly from her angle. 3. Enjoy!!! *Shravan follows*

-Suman’s side-

Suman wouldn’t believe her eyes…Was her vision cheating with her? 1stly, she was blaming that girl, but now when Shravan turned around, it was clear. He was enjoying her company. He smiled at her. Their comfort while dancing…
Ritik *impressed by her previous words*: Wow ur choice is so unique. That makes me fall for u * he bends towards her* Like I’m melting to my own *suman went all unprepared*
Suman: Ritik plea…

She was about to pull him away when her eyes met Shravan’s…His eyes…wider than ever… maybe he never expected to see her in this state…but she had justification which he didn’t. He was also enjoying with another girl. She smiled at Ritik and lifted herself to his face. Shravan’s eyes grew wider. He just fell from the space without a rocket. He couldn’t see more. He turned his vision towards his partner

Suman relieved and whispered to Ritik’s ears: Saadi toh hone do…
Ritik: Well we r marrying for sure. I won’t let u go…
Suman *interrupted*: Bohat kuch samne ana baki hai. Uske baad dekna…
She knew the moment he’ll find her walk into Shravan’s cabin the next morning; he would step back from this marriage voluntarily. So now all she needs to do is…ensure for the last time what Shravan feels for her…

-Shravan’s side-

Shravan was lost..Did he really see that right? Or was that an imagination? Worst imagination ever!!! Or worst R-E-A-L-I-T-Y ever!!! His Sumo. She was his property…but Ritik didn’t force himself on her…she intentionally took that step…

Girl: Shakal ka tera kyu bajgae?
Shravan *angry*: To hell with Suman Tiwari. Look I don’t wanna dance anymore. Pls I’m done.
Girl: Areh hua kya?
Shravan: Khud hi dekhlo *he let his hands off her waist and to her hands. Then pushed her around so that she could take a glace then pulled her back. What made him go pale was the way she grabbed his shirt collar making sure her body lean on his*
Shravan: Excuse me?
Girl: Shut up. Tumhari dost tera hai. Sidha toh kuch samajta nahi. She is completely lost with Ritik. Aab tum kuch bhi nahi kadoge. It’s all up to me. And if now also she doesn’t get jealous or react, give up.
Shravan *nervous*: Tu..tum kya..kya ka..karna chahte ho?
Girl: The game begins now….

Precap: Probably the last epi
