Brilliant chapter and the prologue was sublime.

I love that Astha is starting to see sense and fight her attraction towards Shlok.

Also loved Sojal becoming brave and putting her child first.

Very nicely done update & enjoyed reading it!! and LOL on the bet for the bed - the cvs could take inspiration from your fun take... and love that astha is one or way or the other going to get the bed - waiting to see if she wins to keep it all to herself or loose to have Shlok share the bed, and for ashlok fans Astha still wins even if she looses per the bet ;) look forward to more of your work 👍🏼

Hi guys, I just had to write this today after watching our Ashlok's lovely dance. I know I said Aditi won't be there for a long time but a plot twist came in my brain and I just couldn't help it. It's an extra long chapter. The longest I have written for a fanfiction till date. As always I hope you enjoy it. Please hit the like button. It would make my day. I also love to read what you think because I'm written this for the die hard Ashlokians. Ok, enough of me. On to the tale!
Chapter 3. Of dates and plans.
Astha was getting ready for office.
And office meant sharing a cabin with him. And the last time that had happened...
Red roses and broken vases had been the prequel to yet another heartbreaking experience for Astha. All the romantic things about Valentines day had been smashed and drenched in rain and tears.
Only 29 days to go and here she was, going on a romantic date with the husband who had married her only to make her life hell.
'No matter what he does tonight, I'm not letting him win. And no way I am sleeping with him on the same bed. That will kill me.
He can try what he wants, no matter how much decorations and candles he lights, he is going to lose.' Astha thought.
" I better leave before Baba makes me go with this Akdu"
Ladies and not so gentlemen, today The Shlok Agnihotri is absolutely and totally beyond sanity. He did a very stupid thing.
'What was I thinking? I'll prove how romantic I am? Even if I bring this girl the moon itself she will feel it is not satisfactory. Idea meri hi thi! Main nahi floor pe sone wala! Phass gaya ab tu Shlok! ' Shlok ran a hand through his raven hair, messing it up.
"Kya hua Shlok? (What happened Shlok ?) Itne pareshan kyun lag rahe ho?" Aditi had appeared out of thin air. Again
"Shlok? Are kya huan? Won't you tell your old friend? I always have solutions. " the girl simpered, smiling .
Solutions?
" Astha... Astha ko romantic dinner pe lejana hai. (I want to take Astha on a romantic date)" Shlok replied, knowing that if he played it the right way, his problems would be solved. And Astha's would begin.
" Bass? Itni si baat? Such a small thing. Mere pass toh bahot sare ideas hai. My boyfriend calls me a matchmaker! I can help." Aditi smiled.
" I know what I am going to do. Bas I need your help. Remember we had a little argument in the morning ? My sweet wife is still angry with me. So if the dinner is not romantic she's going to sleep on the floor. We sort of had a little bet... And long story short no matter how romantic I make it, the romantic date will be unsatisfactory for my Astha. I don't want her sleeping on the floor. I need you to be a judge of sorts. And you need to say the date is super romantic. Friend ho toh madat karo." Shlok made a puppy face.
" Oh no! And you agreed to such a bet? What were you thinking? " Aditi was shocked " Now you must make an effort to make the date romantic. I have high standards for what I consider super romantic. Hint: Candles and Chocolate" Aditi winked.
"So you will help me? " Shlok made a grateful face.
"Only for Astha Di. And besides, I want something from you." Aditi's face grew impish.
" What ? " Shlok asked.
" My boyfriends parents want him to get married. We want to marry each other but his parent and my dad are super traditional. So I need you to suggest my boyfriends name to my father. My father will approve because Karans family is rich and traditional. " Aditi pleaded.
" Oh..We have another romantic? Naam kya hain uska?" Shlok taunted.
Aditi blushed "Karan. Karan Kapoor"
" Karan Kapoor. Aditi Kapoor. Hmm..." Shlok teased.
"Shut up! Help karoge ya nahi? " Aditi whispered.
" Help. Definitely" Shlok and Aditi shook hands.
" Thanks. You don't know what a favour you are doing. I'm going to tell Karan about this!" Aditi started to run to her room.
" Hey wait. I'll tell you the venue. Come there by 8. Don't be late ok? I'll text you the details." Shlok reminded her.
Aditi nodded "Okay yaar ! I'm going now!"
The pest almost skipped to her room in happiness.
" Now wait and watch Astha, I'm going to win this thing. Now I only need to set up that romantic date." Shlok smirked, happy with the way things were going. He made his way to his car, ready for his next step.
'What to do? What to do?? If he wins this thing I'm never going to get a full nights sleep! His taunts will never end and the worst thing is that I can't stop thinking about him! Oh bappa! Help me please! ' Astha's frantic thoughts were distracting her from getting any real work done. Her pen lay on the table, untouched and mocking her. She shifted in her chair a bit, trying to expel thoughts of that rakshas from her brain.
The door swung open.
" Hi sweetheart! Sorry I was late .I had some arrangements to make" It was the devil himself, smirking as if he'd won a noble prize or something.
"Toh office Ka kamm sirf mein kahungi? Perhaps you forgot that I am your 50% partner and not your secretary." Astha glared at him.
" I know. But I was just a few minutes late" Shlok smirked " You can't live without me for even that? Immediately you got so angry? "
" A few minutes? It was half an hour! And if I was that late you you'd have kept yelling at me for hours. Thank god I'm not like you! " Astha muttered, flipping a page over without thinking of the words written on it.
" I would definitely have yelled at you. I can't live without you. " Shlok agreed
" Really? Then I'm sure you will die in 29 days " Astha said in a childish voice, avoiding looking at his face. He was going to kill her one day with these stupid filmy words. She had fallen for those petty pretty words once. Not anymore.
" In that case , all the more reason for us to stay together, right?" Shlok lifted her chin up and blew her a kiss. She gasped at the gesture and he smiled. " Tonight is going to be the best date in all of your life "
Astha just looked at him, dumbstruck.
" If you are already so speechless right now then you will surely faint tonight" Shlok patted her cheek and walked over to his own desk.
" Well then you better get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness" Astha muttered, flipping another page over.
Unknown to her, Shlok had heard her little thought.
' I'll definitely get down on my knees. I'm going to prove how much I love...' The thought came unexpectedly into his head, making him shake it like a wet dog, trying to clear his thoughts. Where the hell had love come into this? He, Shlok Agnihotri, did not feel that emotion. Definitely not for this slip of a girl who had dared to challenge him from the day they had first met.
Astha laughed at Shlok's antics. He just looked so ado... ' Oh no... not again. I can't think that he is cute! ' Astha scolded herself.
A knock on the door ended the couple's dilemma for the moment. The had to visit an important client at the Taj. It was an important lunch meeting and the hotel was in Koregaon park, a hot and happening part of the city. Shlok emailed the manager at the Taj about his important dinner arrangements. He stressed on the fact that everything had to be perfect surprise for his lovely wife. He then messaged Aditi about the venue. He also asked her to pick up a very special gift for Astha. It was only after he got a 'done ' reply from his sudden ally that Shlok could concentrate on the meeting. Luckily Astha had handled everything proficiently. He realised that his wife could be very professional and business-like when needed. Another little detail which endeared Shlok to his wife.
" I hope your wife likes the party, Mr Mathur. The 50th anniversary is a very big occasion." Astha smiled at the client . The client was very impressed indeed.
" Ofcourse she will, you have done an excellent job Mrs. Agnihotri." Mr Mathur turned to Shlok " You are a very lucky man, Mr Shlok. Your wife is a very talented, caring person"
" She is the light of my life." Shlok looked at Astha and smiled.
Finally the meeting ended. Astha was busy wrapping everything up when Shlok snatched the files from her hand and handed them to his assistant.
" Shlok? What are you doing? I have to tidy all of those files up. " Astha grabbed Shlok's arm in surprise, shocked that he would let an assistant do her job.
" I'm going to take my wife out for dinner." Shlok replied, removing her hand off his arm and taking it in his own large hand. They made their way over to the car. Shlok dismissed the driver and they got in the car.
" It's still 2 pm! Dinner is still hours away! And we have work to do! We have another meeting at 5 " Astha reminded him.
" Ten steps ahead of you, our schedule is very very empty today. We are going to enjoy today." Shlok clarified.
" Enjoy? Woh...Are you alright Shlok? Did you fall on your head? " Astha asked him concerned about his sudden nice husband act.
" Astha. Come on, I'm trying my best to make it up to you for being such spoil sport. Let's have some fun before dinner. A movie, street food , shopping. Whatever you want." Shlok smiled.
"I don't understand...why are you doing this? " Astha said in confusion.
" Because I haven't given you anything to be happy about since we got married. I just want to rectify my mistake. Can you give me a chance" Shlok made a puppy face at his bewildered wife.
" What ? But ? Okay. Anything I want?" Astha asked.
" Absolutely anything you want. " Shlok agreed. ' Except a divorce ' he added mentally.
" I want to go home . To My Mom and Dad. I want you to explain to them why you did this and then I want you to apologize for what you did. I want you to mean each and every word of it. Can you do that? That is the only thing that will make me happy. Can you do that? " She was offering him an ultimatum and at the same time daring him with her eyes not to disappoint her again . Not to hurt her again.
" Will that make you happy? If I tell your parents everything and if I ask for forgiveness will you be happy? " Shlok asked, looking at his wife's face.
" Yes. " Astha admitted, staring into his eyes with a determination.
" Then I will do it. But you have to make sure they will listen to me . To my whole story. " Shlok sighed, taking a deep breath.
" Main mere Baba ko phone karti hoon. I'll tell him to be home. Please don't insult my parents by yelling at them this time." Astha took her cellphone out of her handbag.
" I promise I won't yell. " Shlok started driving .
The closer they came to Astha's house , the more scared they felt.
One , because she was not sure how her parents would react.
And the other, because he had realized this was his only change to make sure their marriage lasted more than the 29 days that seemed like a very short time .
And both were contemplating a life without each other.

Next time I'll be serving Grilled Shlok with Kirloskar questions!

🥱 😆
