Abhay smiled:Hi Shlok...Aastha has told me about you.
Shlok was stunned.
He thought:What did Aastha tell Abhay about me?
Abhay shook Shlok's hand.
Abhay looked at Aastha:Aastha,you got your friend after a long time.Get his mobile number and keep in touch with him.
Aastha smiled:Sure.
Aastha and Shlok exchanged their numbers.
A:Ok bye Shlok.See you later.
S:Bye.
Shlok was in a situation where he couldn't even shop properly.Without choosing saree for Swati he left from there.
Shlok was lost in his memories related to Aastha and meeting her now.
Swati noticed it:Shlok,what are you thinking?
S:Swati,I met Aastha and her husband today.
Swati was shocked.
Swa:Shlok...did you talk to them?
S:Ya.Both were very friendly with me.We exchanged our numbers.
Swati became insecure:Shlok,are you planning to restart your relationship with Aastha?
S:Swati...what are you saying?Aastha is married.She is very happy with her husband Abhay.How can you even think like that?
Swa:I don't know why Shlok...but I am scared of losing you.

S:You are the one who gave me strength when I was alone.I will not cheat you.
Swati became very emotional:Sorry Shlok.
Abhay was ready to go to office.
Aastha:Abhay,can't you take leave today?Shall we go out?
Abh:Aastha,you know that taking leave is not practical.Lots of work to do.
A:Sorry Abhay.But I feel bored.Fed up of always sitting at home.
Abh:Hang out with friends.
A:I have no friends.You know that.
Abh:You got your friend back Aastha.Shlok.Why don't you go out with Shlok?

Aastha was surprised:You have no problem with that?
Abhay cupped her face in his hands:Aastha...I trust you...I don't have any problem with that.
Aastha became emotional.
A:I am so lucky to have a husband like you.
Abhay patted her cheek softly:I am the one who is lucky to have a wife like you.
She smiled.
Abhay went to his office.
Aastha rang up Shlok.
A:Hello Shlok.
Shlok was surprised.
S:Aastha!
A:Are you busy?
S:Not really.Since my wedding is coming up,Baba told me not to work over time.After honeymoon I will go back to my work in a full fledged manner.
A:Before that can you spare a few days for me?
S:Means?
A:I'm bored.Want to go out.Abhay is very busy.So he told me to hang out with you.
Shlok was surprised:Did Abhay really say so?
A:Yes.That's why I called you.Shlok...please...shall we roam around?Please don't say no.
S:Ok.
Shlok and Aastha met outside.
A:Thank you so much Shlok.
S:Aastha,can I ask you some thing?Did you tell Abhay about everything?I mean...
Aastha rolled her eyes on him.
A:Yes Shlok.I had told him everything about the feelings we had for each other.But he trusts us.He is very sweet and innocent.I am a lucky wife.
Shlok smiled painfully.
Shlok-Aastha roamed around a lot.Then it started raining.
Aastha was excited:Shlok...rain...
She ran out of the car in rain and enjoyed herself in rain.

S:Aastha's craze for rain hasn't got over yet.
He got out of the car and pulled her inside.
A:Shlok!
S:You are drenched.You will feel sick.
He started driving the car.
He saw Aastha shivering.
On the way he saw a cottage.
S:Aastha,since you are drenched I think we will go to that cottage.Dry your clothes there.
A:But...
S:Don't worry.
Shlok took her to the cottage.
Aastha was shivering like hell.
S:Aastha,you wear my shirt as it's not that wet.Only a few rain drops fell on my shirt while taking you inside the car.
He put fire there.He removed his shirt and took it near the hearth to dry it.It became dry and he gave it to Aastha.
He turned back and sat.
Aastha removed her saree and hang it there.Behind the saree she stood and wore the shirt.
Unknowingly Shlok's eyes fell there.
He saw her shadow.
He thought:No...Aastha is some body else's wife now.I should not feel for her like before.
He turned off his face.Aastha came.
His eyes fell on her bare legs.
He controlled himself.
Aastha sat near him.
Aastha rang up Abhay and told her about the present condition.
Abhay:Don't worry Aastha.You can spend some time there.No problem.Shlok is right.IF you wear wet saree for a long time you will suffer from pneumonia.
A:Thanks Abhay.
She cut the call.
A:Shlok,because of me you are troubled.Right?
S:No.Nothing like that Aastha.
A:Thank you so much Shlok.Though I hurt you,without hating me you helped me a lot.
Shlok looked at her deeply:How can I hate you Aastha?
They had a deep eye lock.
Slowly both of them fell asleep close to each other.
Shlok opened his eyes after some hours and saw Aastha sleeping on his shoulder.
He extended his arm to wake her up.But he took his hand back.
S:Aastha...Aastha..
She opened her eyes.Realizing that she was sleeping on his shoulder she felt embarrassed.
A:Sorry Shlok...I...
S:Guess your clothes are dry now.Change now.I will go out and stand.

He went out and stood there.
Aastha wore the saree inside.
Shlok dropped Aastha back home.It was early morning.
Abhay:Thank you Shlok for taking care of my wife.
Shlok smiled and left from there.
He thought:Aastha is lucky to have a nice understanding husband like Abhay.Who else trusts his wife so much even after spending a night with her ex-boy friend?
