Part-36

Before going to Astha , Shlok had been to her doctor...

What? Doctor was shocked...Mr. Agnihotri, do you know, what are you saying...

Yes doctor... I know what I am saying...just do as I am saying, I have all the right to keep or get the baby aborted as I am the father... Just abort the baby, I am giving you consent...

But this is illegal... Doctor said...

Then make it legal...Astha is unmarried...she is too weak to carry the baby...you may abort the baby in abnormal conditions...

No Mr. Agnihotri, she is doing for you and moreover my profession doesn't allow me for the same, neither she will agree..

I don't need her permission doctor... I want her safe future, her this step will take her nowhere if something happens to me before...so please help me...Shlok requested...

Mr. Agnihotri, you are taking me into confusion...if you are right at your place, as you love her... She is also right at her plce...as she loves you too...she is doing this for you only... I think you should take time to understand and atleast discuss with her before any decision...after all its not just your baby, it's her baby too...or it is because, somewhere you have doubt, its not yours... doctor left sentence incomplete...

No doctor, never in my worst dreams...i know my Astha better...he shouted suddenly but calmed down after few moments...By the way doctor, will it be safe for her, if baby is aborted? Shlok asked...

Just fifteen days are left till her first trimester completes...it may be safe if decision is take before that...but I will still oppose your decision...Astha has very much expectation from her step...please try to understand...

you are going to abort this child...now... Shlok declared...but with quite difficulty closing his eyes away from Astha...

What? Astha was shocked on listening...are you mad, Shlok?

Yes, I am...I don't need a baby...he closed his eyes when Astha saw a tear drop at the corner of his eye...

(so, shlok, you are trying to be hard, but still same? You are speaking something else but your eyes? ) But Shlok, once baby is born, you will be fine...

I am fine or no...but no baby...got it? Suddenly Shlok shouted...i have talked to doctor, she herself is saying, you are too weak to carry a baby...so you are going to abort the baby...

You talked to doctor? Astha was shocked...

I don't need permission for your welfare Astha...Shlok shouted...

A painful smile appeared on Astha's face...by the way Shlok, who gave you the right about my baby?

I am the Father Demn... Shlok was really angry with pain...

Astha spoke quite painfully with tight tongue... who said, you are the father of baby? Did I say so?

Astha...Shlok raised his hand and was about to hit her...when doctor came there interfering... Mr. Agnihotri...stop it...

Giving angry look to Astha as well doctor , he left the place stamping his feet...Astha was feeling quite low, doctor checked her and called nurse...Sister give following medicines to Astha immediately... after few minutes, Astha spoke...I am fine doctor...had Shlok asked you for my abortion?

Yes...Doctor nodded, I told him, and we need your consent as well...i knew you will never agree... Don't worry Astha... Doctor smiled assuring her...

I understand doctor, don't worry...he is like this only..i knew, his reaction will be same whenever he will come to know... Astha too smiled...This is his love for me...

By the way I really don't understand your relation with each other...both are going to any extent for each other...doctor smiled...

Actually doctor, he loves me so much that he can't think anything beyond me...and he has a bad quality...he is very negative...one thing goes wrong, he think, everything will be negative in is life... Astha smiled...but don't worry, I will make him understand soon...

I just hope so...doctor sighed...anyways, take rest now...I don't need more variations in your BP anymore...

Next day Astha was discharged from the hospital, Shlok was also there. But Astha had not spoken to him since yesterday even after each hour, Shlok was going to check her...

As they reached home... Astha laid on bed... When Varun spoke to Gauri... Gauri, I think, you must be staying at home for few days...

I was also thinking so...vaise... Anjali auntie was saying to shift Astha at their home but she didn't agree...Gauri said...don't worry, I will take care of her at home...

There is no such need Gauri...Astha spoke. i can take care of myself...

Ya, we can see that stupid... Gauri made an angry face...now listen carefully , doctor had advised bed rest for you...no spices, no oily food, no heavy thing, no work, picking and placing things...only healthy diet...and moreover you will not be alone even for a minute... Ok?

Ok meri maa.. Astha smiled...

Yes, she said right...finally Shlok spoke...Astha is going to abort the baby... Shlok spoke again...

What? Both Varun and Gauri were shocked... Shlok, you have gone mad... once she had said no, means no... moreover we are by her side...

But as a father, I don't need baby...his voice was shard and firm..

I already told you Shlok, this is not your baby... Astha spoke again...

Just shut up and stop your crap Astha... Shlok shouted again...This is just my baby, I don't need any proof from you, but I don't need baby even... so you are going to abort baby...that's final..

And i have told you my decision too... and if you don't need it , then why tears were in your eyes, when you asked me to abort it for the first time? Astha too shouted...listening Shlok just turned his face away trying to hide his tears...

Relax Astha, don't get hyper...Gauri tried to relax her...

So that is your final decision? Shlok looked into her eyes...

Yes...Astha too replied looking into his eyes keeping eye contact...

Ok, choose anyone...me or baby... I had decided to be with you since the time I have...but now decision is yours... Have this baby and forget me...

Astha was dumbstruck on listening...Shlok...she whispered... how can you...

Yes Astha, its final...you are doing this for me only. What if I leave from your life forever... So choice is all yours... give me your decision since morning...saying he was about to leave the room...

When Astha called him...wait Shlok...he turned back...

You don't need to wait since morning...i give my decision now...

Shlok looked at her while Varun and Gauri were also standing shocked, what was going around...

Astha slowly took her hand on her stomach and caressed it...i chose my baby over you Shlok...I Love you...but I love my baby as well...and I know you too love it... so I chose someone whom we both love very much over the one whom I love very much...saying, she closed her eyes...while all were standing shocked there specially Shlok...he had never expected Astha's such decision...

And i have told you my decision too... and if you don't need it , then why tears were in your eyes, when you asked me to abort it for the first time? Astha too shouted...listening Shlok just turned his face away trying to hide his tears...

Relax Astha, don't get hyper...Gauri tried to relax her...

So that is your final decision? Shlok looked into her eyes...

Yes...Astha too replied looking into his eyes keeping eye contact...

Ok, choose anyone...me or baby... I had decided to be with you since the time I have...but now decision is yours... Have this baby and forget me...

Astha was dumbstruck on listening...Shlok...she whispered... how can you...

Yes Astha, its final...you are doing this for me only. What if I leave from your life forever... So choice is all yours... give me your decision since morning...saying he was about to leave the room...

When Astha called him...wait Shlok...he turned back...

You don't need to wait since morning...i give my decision now...
