"Suman!" Mamiji called out. "Kaha reh gayi yeh ladki?" She muttered to herself.

"Yahi hoon mamiji!" Suman replied as she hurriedly kept the invoices back in their original files.

As soon as she was about to head out, her eyes fell on the calender.

22 October it read.

It was exactly two months since she could walk perfectly on her own. Two months since she saw Shravan.

Two months since he left her. Again.

She sighed at her thoughts. When they had reconciled during the khosla case, never had she imagined a day to come where things would go back to square one. She hadn't, in her wildest dreams, thought there would come such a day where they would turn strangers. She still couldn't grasp on the reason behind him leaving them all of a sudden. Leaving her all of a sudden.

As angry as she was at him for leaving her, she was a little relieved too. He, at least, didn't have to stay with a manipulative father. He, atleast, won't be victim to his father's lies and deceit. From the day she came to know the real truth behind Nirmala leaving Shravan, her respect for Ramnath dissolved quicker than sugar dissolving in hot water.

She had so much to say, so much to reprimand him for. She had yet her feelings to confess. But alas, they remained and will remain hidden in her mind and heart.

"Ji Mamiji?"

"Kaha reh gayi thi? Waise Kamini Ji milne aayi hai tumse." Mamiji informed as soon as she came to her room.

"Kamini aunty? Mujhse milne kyu aayi?" Suman asked confused. The woman who hardly interacted with her had now, all of a sudden, come to meet her.

"Mujhe Kya pata? Waise hum aur Rachna zara bazaar hokar aate hai aur Babuji Mehra Saab ke yaha gaye hai." Manju informed and she nodded her head.

She quickly walked over to the sitting room where Kamini was sitting, waiting for her.

"Arrey Suman puttar! Kaisi hai tu?" Kamini asked sweetly, and Suman, for once, was taken aback by her friendly approach.

Inhe bukhaar toh nai chada na. She thought.

"Waise, I'm sorry main pehle aa hi nai payi. Voh main apni maayke mein thi na. Mujhe tumhare theek hone ki pata chalte hi fauren aayi, Tumse milne. Waise, how are you beta?" She asked.

"Much better aunty." Suman smiled.

"Yeh Shravan bhi na. Pata nai kyu achanak chala gaya. Bina kisi ko bataye. Arrey bhaisaab ko bhi nai bataya. Mujhe laga shayad tum dono ki misunderstanding door hote hi rahenga India mein, lekin voh toh chala gaya." Kamini said. She very well knew the misunderstanding regarding PCT still lingered between them, but she had to make up a story as an excuse for her to reveal the truth.

"Misunderstanding? Kaunsi aunty?" Suman asked.

"Arrey wahi. Jab Shravan Berry ka case lad raha tha, usse pata hi nai tha, ki PCT uski zameen par hai. Uss nikamme Berry ne chalaki se usse pata chalne hi nai diya." Kamini said as Suman widened her eyes in utter shock.

"Lekin Shravan ne to kaha usne jaan boojke-" she said still trying to comprehend all that Kamini told her but was interrupted by her.

"Usne toh yeh ghusse mein aake kaha. Lekin jab usse pata chala iss sab ke baare mein, usne khud, Berry ko ek zor ka thappar mara. Pushkar ki kasam." Kamini revealed and Suman was about to fall had Kamini not held her arm on time.

"Waise der aaye, durust aaye. Kam se kam tujhe ab toh sach pata chala hain na?" She said with a smile.

Kamini knew something was going on between Shravan and Suman. She knew the two loved each other, and yet were at loggerheads. She also knew that Ramnath would be infuriated if Suman had to become his daughter in law, all thanks to the Nirmala fiasco and so she planned this all. By now, a small part of hers also realised that Shravan was no more a threat and as much as Pushkar had a right over Malhotra Associates, Shravan too had. She knew she was previously wrong in wanting Shravan to leave his own family just so her sons would gain ownership and this was one way in which she could atleast attempt in bringing Shravan back to India.

"Ab main chalti hoon beta." Kamini said as she squeezed her arm with a smile and walked out, praying that Suman, somehow, brings Shravan back.

Now she also had to apologise to him and he wasn't there. Great! She thought guilty of her behaviour towards Shravan.
