Do you mean that you don't understand the dictionary definition of either of those words? I assume that you don't mix them up with each other because they are completely different.
Why don't you give us an example of a sentence with the word "afraid" in it and we can see if your understanding is close to being correct?
"Suppose" is a little more difficult to use so we will stick with "afraid" for now.

Perhaps Srini is referring to this sort of usage:
I'm afraid I've done the wrong thing.
I suppose I've done the wrong thing.
I'm afraid this answer could be wrong.
I suppose this answer could be wrong.
I'm afraid I've done the wrong thing.
I suppose I've done the wrong thing.
I'm afraid this answer could be wrong.
I suppose this answer could be wrong.
