Hola peeps.
I’m here with the next part.

He stormed into the drawing room of his house where all his relatives were busy making arrangements. Sumo came running after him at his heels.
“Adi, where were u ? We were searching for u.”, called out Aditya’s caring mother. She was the only person whom Suman liked in his family.
Suman didn’t enter the room to keep out of everyone’s eyes. She kept fidgeting at her place helplessly.
“Maa, we need to head to Tiwari Killa right now.”, he declared firmly with a frowning face.
“Now ? But..”
“Maa something needs to be disclosed before this engagement, forget marriage. It’s very important. I’m going there, u all can follow me if u want.”
He smiled and left.
Now it was impossible for Sumo to stand still. She ran after him as fast as wind and boarded her car. Aditya’s family members were awe-stricken seeing her appear from nowhere and disappear out of the door after Aditya.
Sumo felt very helpless. She knew that she has the real truth but still doubted whether anyone will believe her. But someone was there who would be at her side, whatever be the situation. “Shravan”. The name gave her relief to some extent. She quickly dialed his number.
“Shravan where r u now ?”, she said breathlessly.
“I’m at home getting ready. Why ? Why r u talking like this Sumo ? Is everything all right ?”
“Shravan plz come to Tiwari Killa right now. Please I need u, it’s very urgent.”
“Why what happened?”
“I’ll tell u after u reach, plz come fast, bye.”
She cut the call without replying to his numerous ‘whys’ & ‘whats’ and drove her car as fast as she could.
Reaching the gate of her house she found Aditya’s car parked there and Aditya entering the house.
“I’m not much late.”, she sighed in relief as she didn’t want anything to happen in her absence.
As she got out Shravan called her from behind.
She looked into his eyes with a burden of pain inside and his eyes showed fret and care.
———–x———–
Both of them entered the house nervously and saw that everyone standing at their place and Aditya declaring something loudly.
Suman felt more uneasy seeing Nanu present there too.
“If u r sure that whatever he’s going to tell is fake, u need not worry. Let him finish his stories then you’ll disclose the truth.”, whispered Shravan, “But it would have been better if u’ve told the real thing to me earlier, u r not even telling now.”
“Do u think there’s any time left now, except to face?”, her voice was unsteady.
“I know u all r surprised to see me here now, I’m not early, I just came in time, because if I told u this at evening….it would have been much late.”
“Told what dear ?”, said Mamiji with a frowning face.
Everyone was surprised and thoughtful about the reason of his arrival. But no one noticed ShraMan standing…..the situation was such.
“Before two person tie the knots of their lives together, it’s indeed very important to know everything about each other, isn’t it ?”
“Yes, but we can’t understand what u r saying dear.”, said a curious relative.
“Whatever u r going to say, tell clearly. We don’t have time to hear such roundabout words.”, said Nanu.
“Yeah very well. Not much time left. So, I want to disclose a fact which was not known by either of the families. A fact about us— Suman and me.”
All glanced at each other with confusion and suddenly Aditya’s eyes fell on ShraMan standing at the doorway. He smiled at their pensive faces maliciously.
“It was a day”, Aditya began, “Our College had prepared for a trip for the last year students. Of course, Suman and I were included. We went to Asola for the trip. There’s nothing I want tell u about how beautifully we all friends spent that day, but the problem begun at dusk. “
Suman gulped. She didn’t have any idea what was he going to tell next. She wanted to protest, but her mouth refused to move.
Shravan was totally unaware of anything that had happened during the time he was at London. He was clueless.
Aditya continued.
“I and Suman were chatting merrily and strolling about when we realized we were lost in the way. It’s not that we didn’t try to get back, but alas, we were totally lost. It was a forested area so there was no signal in phone.”
“When it had grown much dark, both of us found a hut at the middle of the jungle….very luckily we found it as it started raining all of a sudden. Suman was very afraid. But I was with her….I wouldn’t allow any problems to even touch her. She was a bit comforted by my presence.”
“The rain increased and we decided to enter the hut. The hut was almost demolished-roofed, only some portions of the roof were left. We sat in a corner and waited for the rain to cease.”
Aditya paused and sighed. He closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing that moment.
“Two young minds, rather hearts, together congested at a lonely place. I don’t know whether our minds did or not…but our hearts confessed that maybe we had fallen for each other. We really failed to retain ourselves from getting intimate.”
Everyone was flabbergasted. Silence covered the atmosphere.
Shravan couldn’t believe in his ears. He looked at Sumo with disbelieve on his face.
“Sumo”, he whispered.
She nodded her head with mouth wide open. She never thought Aditya would utter such non-sense.
“I really don’t have the mouth to speak anything else about it, especially in front of the elders. I’m sorry but this is the truth. We really lost our virginity. No…nothing more about it I’ll say.
But one more thing I’ll add. I wanted to marry Sumo on this basis that I loved her, and obviously on this topic of that day also. I didn’t want her to get humiliated in front of others, even my reputation would have been down.”
“But now I’m a well-known businessman. This small thing won’t hamper my life. But still this matters to Suman, and I did care for that. But today I had something else on my mind. I decided that this marriage will not happen. Even our darling Suman insisted me to this fact that we won’t marry. And I don’t have a heart to pressurize her. Isn’t it Suman ?”
He said, turning towards her. Now she came in everyone’s near point. She was sobbing, not being tensed , but being angry. She tried to walk towards him, as if to slap him hard but Shravan held her wrist.
Shravan knew that any wrong action may lead everyone to believe in Aditya’s words.
Aditya left the house completing his say. Sumo fell on her knees crying as everyone glanced at each other tensed.
Shravan came to the middle and told confidently,
“Whatever is told is a clear fake. That f**king bastard wanted to ruin Suman’s life by making all of u misunderstand her. The…”
“So what is the real truth Shravan we will like to hear !!”, shouted Mamiji.
“It’s all ur internal family matters. And anyways, the engagement in not happening, we r going. Let’s go everyone.”, said a person among the other relatives.
Everyone nodded and left the room making the room’s ambience more explosive.
Shravan resumed after everybody’s departure.
“Sumo will tell the truth. That Aditya is no one on whom we should have faith. Let’s hear at least. Sumo plz tell us the truth. We want to hear from u.”
She stood up with difficulty & headed towards Nanu, who was sitting soullessly, breathing heavily.
“Nanu, if I’m alive today, it is totally because of u. Whatever ordination u have given me, I’ve learnt them and followed them with all my might. I’m not a sort of girl who will do such things. Whether anyone believes me or not, I really don’t care, but I’m sure u believe me.”
“So prove that u r not guilty. Just blabbering to Bapuji wouldn’t do.”, screamed Mamiji again.
“Manju give her a chance to speak.” shouted Mamaji, “We believe u Suman, speak up.”
“Sumo speak up, plz !!! Why r u not….”
“Shravan I think u should go. We don’t want any outsider to interfere in our family matters. We will talk to Suman. You leave now.” insisted Mamiji.
Shravan felt very bad at being called outsider. Nevertheless he left, but his heart didn’t cooperate. It was continuously telling him to retreat into the house and console Suman, hear the truth from her.
But being called an outsider was one of the greatest insults he could have heard from Suman’s family. He boarded his car and left.

I think this chapter was super boring. I don’t know how much sensitive is the truth which Aditya has told…even I fear it’s not up to your expectations. I’m really sorry, I am not a good writer, but I still tried my best.
Thinking why Suman didn’t protest ??? Will get to know soon.
Plz leave ur reviews. It encourages me very much.
Silent readers, do break ur silence sometimes, I really crave hearing from u all.
Next part will be updated as soon as I finish writing.
An advanve *HAPPY HOLI* to all !!
Loads Of Love !!!
