(astha didn't knew how to react. Now it was clear to her that shlok now knows everything that she was trying to hide. Now there is no way out than to face whatever comes her way. Well that was not a new thing. She is doing the same since a couple of months. Soon an unknown energy started to fill in astha. She was not scared anymore, because there was nothing to loose for her. Any normal husband would yell at his wife for doing such a prank, well shlok does that every day! So what more can he do??? She decided to break the silence, she took a deep breath and walked towards the table were the projector was kept. She turned it off. Then with a smile on her face she turned to face shlok )

Astha : toh aap ko sab pata he? Good! Meri toh sare tension hi khatam ho gaya! Kal Raat se yahi soch rahi thi ki me yeh baat apko kaise batau. Mene apko MR .SHLOK AGNIHOTRI ko ullu banaya (she laughed her heart out,and this irked shlok. He in a swift move grabbed astha's arms and pinned her to a near by wall)

Shlok : mrs. Astha shlok agnihotri tumhari itni himmat kit um mere saath mazak karo??? Agar tumne ek baar bhi socha hota ki me tumhara kya haal kar sakta hu oh tum aur tumhare who dost ye sab nahi kartey. Waise ajeeb dost he tumhare un logo ne tumhare saath milke ye sra natak kiya aur phir tumhe mera saamna akele karne ke liye bhej diy???

Astha : aapko kya lagta he shlok, ki me aapse darti hu??? Agar ha, toh aap galat sach rahe he mr.shlok agnihotri. Mere dil me aap ke liye sirf ek hi ehsaas he aur who he NAFRAT, NAFRAT samjhe aap. Aapse darna toh mene us did chod diya tha jis din aapne mere baba ko jail lejane ki dhamki di thi. Us din mujhe pata chal gaya tha ki aap kitna neeche gir sakte he.

Shlok : ASTHAAA

Astha : chillao mat! Chillana mujhe bhi aata he shlok! (astha pushed shlok hard, she she got out of his grip. Tears started to flow fro astha's eyes. ) aapo kabhi bhi apne alava kisi aur ka chehra dikha he??? Shlok aap itne khudgarz he ki aapko apne baba ka chehra bhi nahi dikhta he. Kabhi aapne socha he aap jo yeh sab kar rahe he use baba ko kitni takleef hoti he??? Nahi, kabhi nahi, kaise sochege aap? Aap ke paas toh dil hi nahi he. Sirf dimmag he aur who bhi shaitan ka. Ye sab jo aapki zindagi me ho raha he, us sab ko sudhar ne ke liye dimaag se nahi dil se sochna padta he! Aap janna chahte he na ki mene yeh sab kyu kiya??? Kyuki me aap ko pareshan dekhna chahti hu, tension me, aur aap ko kisi ke same niche dikhana tha mujhe, aap ka haara hua chehra dekhna chahti thi. Aapne mujhe itna dukh diya he aur who aapne baba ko neecha dikhane ke lye, me aapko usi baba ke nazro me girana chahti thi. Aur who mene kardiya. Kuch minute ke liye hi saki aapka sar mene aapke baba ke saamne jhuka diya he shlok, ab aap meri jaan bhi lelo mujhe koi dukh nahi he. Kyuki ab aapki aur meri is rishtey ki sachayi hum dono ke ghar wale jaante he.

(astha took the help of the wall to keep herself up from falling, but after all the emotional outburst there was hardly any energy left in her. So she slid down to the ground, she pulled her knees to her chest and rested her head onto them. She was panting, after some time she looked up to see shlok, she saw him sitting on the ground, his one leg pulled up and the other was kept straight. He had his eyes closed. Astha stared at him for some time. After a couple of minutes shlok looked up at astha. He slowly got up from the ground, he took slow steps towards astha, but she did not move an inch from were she was sitting. Shlok came to her sat down to her level. He gently took her hand in his, he slowly took them to his face and gently kissed them. Astha was schocked a small gasp escaped her lips. Shlok looked onto her face and smiled gently, he pulled her into a tight hug. Shlok hugged her for what seemed like eternity. After that he let go off her, smiled at her again and left her room leaving a confused astha behind )
