CHAPTER: 11
Ahmedabad
"You look amazing!" exclaimed Shlok getting out of his chair seeing his wife walk toward him in the posh restaurant which she selected for its romantic ambience looking absolutely gorgeous wearing a LBD and high heels stilettos giving her an advantage of at least half an inch reaching Shlok's eyelevel. Helping her into her seat next to him continuing talking as he said next "Although I was not sure that you would show up I am glad you took the time because you were utterly worth waiting for". Astha smiled at him innocently and said "Oh did I keep you waiting long? I know I did say I will be here at 8 but I guess I didn't realize its 9:30 already. Oh poor darling. I hope you ordered something for yourself?" asked Astha patting her eyelashes at Shlok grilling him to get some sort of emotion out of him preferably anger as she knew he hated people being late as he was punctual himself and expected the same from people. "Oh I had some coffee before you came in" said Shlok sweetly knowing Astha's intention of being late and thought to himself the "some coffee" he drank must be in gallons but he omitted that part for her benefit and kept on waiting for her hoping she will show up. "So shall we order? What will you have?" Shlok asked Astha to which she said in presence of a waiting waiter ready to take their orders "I will have the house salad. But I think you will fancy Pumpkin ravioli here, it's a specialty. That's it thank you". "Are you sure a salad will do? I mean as I recall you had a pretty large appetite for a girl your size and I used to tease you about it. Are you on some sort of diet? I noticed you have shed all your baby fat." Asked Shlok in a concerned tone which irked Astha and said in an irritated voice "Yes Shlok I am on some sort of self imposed diet and yes I lost all my chubbiness because I am not that fat stupid girl anymore but a smart and independent woman". A little shaken by her outburst Shlok decided not to ask any more questions right now and risk driving her away with his interrogation decided to pacify her and stick to a neutral topic. "Anyhow you look beautiful just the way you are and being yourself. Now tell me what's going on in your life? What were you up to in the past four months?" asked Shlok looking fairly interested to which Astha retorted "Oh really you want to know what I was doing , with whom I was and where was I in the past months? As if you already didn't know the answer to that. Didn't your spy tell you that much? Either you don't pay him well or he is really bad at his job. But if you must know I got a job at an upcoming event management firm. Nothing fancy as Akriti but it's a nice job with good salary. Finally I can afford some place cheap to rent and move out of the hotel." "Wow. That's great you are enjoying yourself and are happy with your life and brand new job and everything. But does that mean you will never come back to Pune? And you don't need to move out of the hotel and find some place cheap. If you are not happy living in a hotel I can rent an apartment here in the city for you near to your office with a car and chauffeur so you don't have to travel around in rickshaws and buses everywhere." Said Shlok in a slightly pinched voice not really happy to see Astha thinking of settling here permanently but didn't say a word about his feelings to her as it will determine her to do the exact opposite thing he wanted from her. "I haven't really thought about that much in the future. I have signed a contract for a year so I don't know I might travel. I always wanted to travel around the world. Baba's retiring this year so I am thinking of taking a long break and take a trip somewhere with Aai, Baba and Ajju. As for the hotel and your offer for an apartment in the city thanks but no thanks. I want to move out of the hotel because I have self respect and I don't want you to pay a dime for me. I don't want your money or any more of your favour. It burdens me thinking I owe you something and that I am indebted to you giving you an upper hand. At first I didn't have a job or any money on me so I accepted your help thinking I deserved that after the way you treated me but now I have a job and some money so I don't want to accept anymore of your graciousness. Now if you will excuse me I have to use the powder room." Saying that Astha left her seat and headed towards the rest room.
Shlok caught up with Astha in mid stride and almost dragged her up to the nearest thing totally ignoring her protests, which turned out to be broom closet and locked it from inside. He noticed that big fat tears were rolling down her pretty cheeks and her face has gone all red especially her chubby nose which was of the shade of tomatoes. She tried to escape his gaze and struggled with Shlok and started fidgeting with the lock on the door. "I knew you can never change as they say that a leopard never change its spot. Here you are once again pinning me to you and showing your brute force and making me listen to you in your angry young man mode and god complex. But let me warn you Agnihotri that while you may not have changed but I have changed a lot. I am a lot stronger and definitely more mature thanks to you." Ignoring her panic attack Shlok burst out laughing trying very hard to get a grip on his anger and an array of emotions coursing his body as he took Astha in his arms by force and pinning her to the wall of closet angrily kissed her on the lips . He poured all his anger, heart ache, pain and love in that kiss as he gained entry to her mouth when an involuntary moan escaped from her mouth and feeling her resistance weakening. He murmured between the kisses as mutual lust and hunger for each other took them over and Astha started to kiss him back with same ferocity and hunger which surprised Shlok a bit as the shy girl he knew got replaced by a desirable wanton woman fuelling his desire even more and said "You are right. I may not have changed much but you sure have changed a lot. You no longer kiss like an inexperienced virgin but you are wrong also. The explosive chemistry is still there however much you deny it and loathe it."
"You are right. The lust between us is there now more than ever. But that's all that is. I still hate you but at the same time you are like a drug which I know is bad for me and I shouldn't use but like an addict I always end up taking it. I may not like your heart and soul much but I sure as hell can't resist your body. So shut up and concentrate. I want to scratch that itch which have been bugging for the last eight months and which I dream about every night" Said Astha angry at him and equally angry at herself for giving in her hormones making her do unspeakable things. "Hate as much as you like but you want me right now as much as I want you. I may be just a body to you right now but let me assure you soon you will be craving the while package -my body, my soul and definitely my heart. Now be a good, decent girl and get dressed properly my dear wife. Your hair is a mess and also your dress is half undone. "said Shlok grinning broadly seeing Astha's shocked face and unsatisfied demeanor when he started doing up the buttons in front of her dress he'd undone in passion much to her irk as she snapped and unlocked the closet and stepped out looking thoroughly wound up as he had left her wanting for more. Astha looked as if she have just risen up from a bed with her hair tousled and tangled up and flushed all over still wanting a repeat performance of last night thought Shlok satisfied with himself as he said to Astha "After you sweetheart. Our food will be getting cold.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pune
Next morning Sojal woke up with a satisfied smile and started blushing thinking about last night when she did things with Varad and the heights he took her making her realize that her whole body was aching with a slight pain which was sweet pain which she definitely would like to bear her whole life. She noticed a hickey on her neck making her toes curl at the pinnacle of passion she achieved last night with her very own husband for the first time in seven years. Suddenly she jumped out of the bed with a start seeing the alarm clock next to her side of the bed which was showing 8:30 am. She quickly pulled a night gown from her closet and wrapped a robe around it and ran for Kavya's room to wake her up finding her room empty. She went down stairs and found Kavya sitting on the dining table with a breakfast plate and a glass of milk. Thinking it was Rani's handiwork Sojal asked Kavya "Where is Baba?" to which she replied playing with her food and imitating her father's expression and dialogues the way he say it parroting each and every sentence from beginning to end without thinking anything in her innocence like often children did in front of adults "He went to office. He looked very upset and also a little angry. I asked him where you where this morning and he said you were sleeping probably tired and would wake up crying and hating yourself. He also said not to wake you up as you will be yourself again regretting everyting."
Sojal was shocked processing every word Kavya uttered about her father about what happened between them last night as anger started boiling inside her when she was in for another shock seeing Anjali coming out of kitchen carrying a plate of toasts. She quickly started pulling Kavya from her chair and said in a startled voice "Get down princess. Otherwise Aaji will not like it that you are sitting at the head of the family's chair" to which she replied in an innocent voice "No Aai, Aaji only made me sit here and then she made me breakfast asking me what I will like to eat. Also she woke me this morning, Bathe me and dressed me up for school. She has changed a lot and also she is a lot nicer than before. Now she is like the fairy god mother than the evil step mother in that Cinderella story." "Shh...Princess. Otherwise she will hear" said Sojal in a low voice hearing Kavya's earlier encounter with a lady which didn't really resemble her very strict and deeply rooted mother -in-law stuck in the shackles of age old traditions. "It's okay Sojal. Princess is right. I have changed a lot. I only told her to sit in Saha... I mean that man's chair which he no longer uses and I don't think now he will ever use. As for waking, bathing and dressing her up Varad asked me to do it before leaving for office early in the morning which I was happy to do. He also asked me not to disturb you in case you decided to sleep in as he thought you needed rest" said Anjali shocking his Daughter-in-law firstly by the use of the word Princess with which she addressed Kavya knowing she hated Sojal and Varad calling her that as she always used to call her as "Yeh ladki" and then by rest of the sentence which she uttered. Dumb folded she started giving up excuses as she nervously said "When did you get here? I am sorry Aai. I don't know how the alarm went off. I myself had set it for 6:00 am but may be it didn't work. I will have it repair and won't do it next time. I don't usually sleep in late..." when Anjali stopped her in her little outburst and said holding her hands "I got here early in the morning and it's okay Sojal Varad told me he swished off the alarm clock and I also didn't disturb you because I also thought you deserved some rest and peace after taking care of this huge house all by yourself for the past eight months." "Thanks Aai. I will make it up to you. You will see I will prove to be a great Daughter-in-law to you." Said Sojal sincerely to which Anjali replied softly with motherly concern and love shining from her face "Sojal dear first be a great wife to Varad because that is important for you. I know you are a great mother to Kavya already. As for being a good daughter-in-law I would prefer if you were to become a great daughter to me instead."
Sojal hugged Anjali tightly leaving her a bit shocked at first then melting up and hugged her back. Kavya also got down from her chair and said "I also want a hug" and hugged them both making Anjali aware of her and bending down to pick her up closer to her heart and closely hugging both Sojal and Kavya, enveloping them in the warmth of her motherly nest of love and care. "Now that is too much sugar dose for me. Get away from me you people. Oh Kavya you are getting heavier as it is difficult for Aaji to pick you. Now be a doll and get your bag from your room as it is you are getting late for school." Said Anjali laughing and smilling fondly, patting Sojal and the back and then bending down and kissing Kavya on the cheeks. After Kavya left for school, Anjali asked Sojal in kitchen "Is everything okay between you and Varad? I know your relationship with him has been strained lately and god knows I have not helped you both by adding the burdens of house hold duties and traditions on you and keeping you under my thumb pressuring you to be Daughter-In-Law of the year. But I swear to god dear it was never my intension to be Monster-in-law to you and evil grand mom to Kavya. It was a role I played to protect you all from the mask of honour and integrity which that man wore and face his wrath." Sojal took a moment to process all that Anjali said and then calmly replied "Yeah. Everything is fine between us never better. And I now know the reason for you being Smother-in-law to me and Monster Inc to Kavya so I forgive you. I talked to Shlok bhauji a week ago when he told me the truth about you and also baba. I couldn't believe it that he could do something like that but I guess he really was a good actor all these years. And you too. You always made me believe I was good for nothing and destroyed my self confidence. But seeing you for yourself today I really believed that what you were doing for all of us is worth a big thank you. So thank you" to which Anjali graciously said "I don't need a thank you for doing anything for my kids. But tell me something when I asked you Varad I detected a hind of anger in your voice. What is that all about?" "Nothing mush really Aai expect for the fact that my husband can never love me for who I am even if I serve him my life on a plate still he would doubt if I am genuinely dead or just faking it. There is no trust or as matter of fact no respect between us." Sojal confided into Anjali trusting her to give her support instead of sympathy making Anjali seriously thinking something for a minute and then said grinning evilly "Then it's time for you to make him realize how much you love him. It took seven years for you to destroy your relation with him so give it at least seven days to repair. Now forget everything else and listen to me. Do as I say and you can get him dancing to your tunes very soon. Now starts mission SAAT DIN, CHOKRA IN'."
Varad was in for a shock when he returned to his cabin from the trip to the printing press of his newspaper seeing a huge bouquet of dozens of red roses in heart shape. And then he was more shocked to see an envelope in the centre of the bouquet addressed in his name that read:
"Thanks for last night. You were great.
Love,
Xxoo S"
