Shlok:I myself is ashamed to tell you what I saw there.
Aastha:Shlok,I am asking you what did you see there?
S:When I went there that rascal was having fun with his girl friend in the bedroom.
Aastha was shocked.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
A:No,it's not true.It can't happen.Abhay won't cheat me.
S:Aastha,believe me.He is cheating you.
A:Shlok,how can you accuse Abhay of having an extra marital affair?Never forget that he is a husband who allowed his wife to spend time with her ex-boy friend.He trusts me that much.He did not have any problem with our meetings.
S:He encouraged our friendship only to get rid of you.So that in your absence he can be with his girl friend.
Aastha shouted:Enough Shlok.If you again talk ill of my husband I will forget that once upon a time you were someone of mine.
Shlok was shocked:Aastha...why should I lie?
A:May be because after spending time with me you felt like refreshing our old days.
S:Aastha...
A:But creating misunderstandings between us you can never get me Shlok.
Shlok was shattered:Aastha...how could you think that I will put your married life in trouble for my selfish needs?This is what you think of me?
Aastha remained silent for a moment.
S:I can never destroy your life.I always wanted you to be happy.
A:If you want me to be happy don't say a word against Abhay.I can't bear it.
Abhay was upset.
A:Again meeting you,becoming friends with you was a mistake.Now onwards there will be no contact between us.I don't want to see your face again.Leave from my life forever Shlok.
Shlok was shattered completely.
She walked away leaving Shlok in pain.
S:Aastha,how could you think like this about me?
Aastha reached home.Abhay was tensed whether Shlok had told her the truth.
He pretended to be innocent.
Abh:Hi sweet heart...how are your parents?
A:They are fine.Due to travelling I feel tired.Let me take rest.
Abh:Ok.
Aastha went to her room.
Abhay was relieved:Guess Shlok didn't tell anything to Aastha.
He smiled.
Aastha cried out in her room.
Shlok went home and cried.
After a week...
Aastha was getting bored.
A:I will ring up Abhay and talk.But he will be busy with his work now.
She hesitated to call him.Then she dialed his number.She heard the mobile ring in the bedroom.
A:That means Abhay forgot to take his mobile?
She picked up the mobile.
A:Oh!
She pressed gallery and looked at his solo pictures with a smile.Then she moved on to the video section.She clicked the video.She was shocked to see it.Because it was the romantic hot video of Abhay and a girl.
A:That means Shlok was telling the truth.What all did I tell Shlok?I hurt him.Oh!What did I do?
The mobile rang.She attended the call.She could hear a female voice.
"Hello Abhay...I am back from the US trip.Did Shlok tell Aastha about catching us red handed?If not we escaped.But delete the video we took during our stay in the resort.Otherwise what if Aastha finds them?Poor Aastha.She thinks that her husband is very busy.Actually her sweet husband is busy with his darling.Foolish Aastha is unaware of it".
Aastha was shattered.She cut the call and cried loudly.
In the evening Abhay came back.He saw Aastha staring at him.He found her strange.She took his mobile and played the video which embarrassed him.He was numb for a moment.
A:Abhay...why did you do this to me?I trusted you more than anybody else.But you were cheating me?
He kept quiet.
A:Give me an answer Abhay.
He burst out:Yes,I have a girl friend.What is the big deal about it?You are roaming around with a guy.Did I ever complain?If you can have a boy friend why can't I have a girl friend?
Tears dwelled in her eyes.
A:I can't believe that you can talk like this Abhay.You said you trust me.But now you are saying that I am having fun with Shlok.Shlok was my friend.Our friendship was pure.Still when he told me your truth I broke my friendship with him.
Abhay was shocked to know that Shlok had told her the truth.
A:I hate myself for hurting Shlok for a man like you.For the world you are the most wonderful husband.Not anymore Abhay.Your drama is over.I am going to expose you.
Abhay was shocked.His eyes turned red due to anger.
Abh:Let me see how you are going to expose me.
He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the store room.
He slapped her many times.He took out his belt and beat her hard.She cried loudly.Without bothering about her pain he kept beating her making her extremely weak.
He tied her to a chair and sealed her mouth with a cloth.
Abh:You tried to teach me a lesson.Right?Now I will teach you a lesson.You are going to suffer your entire life.
She looked at Abhay in fear.
Aastha cried ,but her cry turned out to be silent as her mouth was closed.
Abhay left the room with an evil smile.
She wept:Shlok...I have been punished for not believing you.
