Background : Shlok and Aastha soon going to marry and Aastha is still in search of the reason which made Shlok super cold and rude.
"Why Shlok? Why? Why does I feel like you are not the one whom I refers as Akdu?" Aastha was watching Shlok giving chocolates to the small kids in orphanage home !! When Shlok turned back , Aastha noticed his eyes were moist..!!
"Are you fine Shlok?" She asked him. Shlok nodded ; tried to get normal and headed towards car. Aastha followed him. Just to lightened the mood , Aastha started telling some irritating jokes which could not resist Shlok from shouting at her.
"Can't you just shut up?" Shlok starred angrily at her. Aastha, who was unaware about what happened to him ..!! "Stop the car" Aastha shouted. Shlok increased the speed. Astha looked at him and said calmly- "Stop the car Shlok! At least for the sake of Niranjan uncle" as she was very well aware of Shlok. Shlok stopped car suddenly. Aastha got out of the car followed by Shlok who was as usual angry on her to make him stop the car in between the ghats of Lonawala. "What do you want to do Aastha? Can't we lead to Pune peacefully?" He shouted at her. Aastha who was calm till now went near Shlok ; held his hands and with looking in his eyes said peacefully- " We are going to marry soon Shlok! Now, I want to know the reason behind this cold and rude Shlok Agnihotri" . Shlok pushed her back. "It's my life Aastha and I don't think I need to tell you everything. I am marrying you ; it does not mean that I will share everything with you. Infact I did not wanted to marry you. It was due to dad and his wish that I am here" .
"Don't try to give me that angry glares Mr. Shlok Agnihotri . I am quite used of it. And you too knows it very well that you loves me. And if you don't love me then why did you save me that day in your office when that goons were about to attack me?" - Aastha asked firmly.
Shlok tried to move his eyes away from her. He turned and said "It's just due to humanity; nothing else"
Aastha went infront of him . "Oh really? Then please tell me when did you learn the word HUMANITY Mr. Shlok Agnihotri? No one can know you better than me !! The person who can't even show mercy on the student just because she is a female can't know the meaning of humanity! It was just pure love Shlok. Accept it now. Don't try to hide it behind past"
"I want to go away from here Aastha. Right now . We can talk later. Let's go to Pune first. " Shlok tried to change the topic.
"Why do you want to go away from here Shlok? It's such a nice place! Anyone can love it . Even the Akdu like you " Aastha looked at him. He was trying to keep his eyes away from hers.
"Can't you get what I said? I WANT TO GO FROM HERE " - Shlok shouted again.
Aastha looked at him . "Why? Just because SHE died here? "
Shlok looked at her in shock. "Don't be so surprised Shlok. I know you loved her. I know you are not the one whom I calls Akdu . You are Shlok , Shlok with a heart. Yes, I did fall in love with you. I am in love with you . And I know it very well that I can't love a person who don't have feelings. But, I am in love with a person who used to suppress feelings ; who used to hate woman just because he thinks that he will be away from HER love which is the most important thing for him. Am I right Shlok?"
Shlok was bit shocked. Bit surprised . It started raining . Thundering never favored Aastha. It got her scared. She hugged him. He was still in his land of past. He suddenly hugged Aastha. Tears started rolling from his eyes.
"I am not Shlok Aastha. I am Anonymous who died few years ago. " - Shlok stated ; his voice seemed to be heavy ; flooded with emotions.
"Shlok can't die when Aastha is alive !! And I will not be dead Shlok" - Aastha hugged him ...!!!
