Pyaar Ka Bandhan
Part1
It was their first anniversary...shlok was about to leave his office early..as he had promised Astha to take her out for a dinner...
His thoughts were wandering around the kind of scene that he could expect at home with his wife...all naughty...
He remembered the morning...she was sitting at the dining table and sipping her coffee...
As soon as he sat at the table for his breakfast...astha had asked him...
Astha:shlok you remember what day is today?...her eyes pleaded him not to say that he does not remember...
He gave a soft smile...
Shlok:Astha my sweetheart...I know today is our first anniversary...
She smiled in relief and happiness...
Astha:So are we going out today???she asked expectantly...
Shlok:Of course jaan...we will celebrate our occasion...we will go out dinner today to a special place...I have made all the arrangements and it is going to be memorable night for us...he said reassuringly...
Astha was surprised to know that shlok had planned for their night and she was quite happy about it...right from that moment her wait for the memorable night started...
As shlok left for office...Astha stopped him...
She was about to say...don't forget...come early...but she did not...
She thought it was unnecessary since he had made the plans for the night...
She just gave him a warm smile and said...Bye...
But here he was...late again...
He tried to call Astha several times but she did not pick his call...he did not forget...he wanted to come early but some last minute work held him up late and the traffic ended all his hopes...
He was angry on himself...as he disappointed his wife once again...
They have had a lot of fights because of this...though he hated such fights there was never a single fight where he gave up his stand of defending his work...
Astha would say...I don't mind you working late...but at least on some days you can put your wife ahead of your work... her tone would sometimes be of anger, sometimes desperation and sometimes helplessness...he imagined the kind of argument they would have...but something about the fight made him smile...
There was a stage in fight which he always liked...it is the climax where he emerges as the winner...
He invariably emerges the winner in all the heated arguments...but there was nothing that he does which makes him the winner...it was always because of Astha...
She would never let the fight go beyond the night...she would come back to me...her eyes swollen from crying but she will bear a warm smile...It's alright shlok...I understand... she would say...
She would talk exuberantly to cheer me up...shlok self thought...
This one thing about her...made him realize how lucky he is to get such a wonderful girl to share his life with...
He knew that was not going to happen in today's fight...it made him smile even more...
He entered his home...astha was sitting on the couch...she was crying...
Seeing her like this only a smile touched his lips...and he walked straight to her...
Astha looked at him...expecting him to give his excuses...
He didn't say a single word...and quietly took her in his arms and kissed her with all his might...
It made her shocked...she was not expecting this...she was expecting a fight...as per routine...but then she faked anger...
Astha:You are again late????...her voice sounded a little harsh...
He slowly kissed her earlobe and whispered to her...
Shlok:Please can we skip the part F(Fight) and move onto part L(Love) tonight????...
She at once understood his code words...as these were the words they always use during their fights...
She answered back in the same way as his...teasing him a little...
Astha:But I think we should add a part C(Celebration) before our part L(Love)...she spoke pulling him close by his collar...
He saw the beautiful smile which he wished to see that night...he knew it was going to be different this night...
Shlok:Part C????...I don't understand...
Astha:Part C...means celebration...
Shlok:Celebration????...
Astha:I knew it that you will be again late...so in anger I made a small cake for two of us...
Shlok grinned and pulled her even more closer...In anger...are you sure???...
Astha:I guess it was anger...or...no I think it was...may be love...and they both started laughing together...
Shlok knew that she cann't get actually mad on him...as she loves him a lot...and surely she has made the cake to make the night special for both of them...
Shlok:So where is our anniversary cake???...he was getting impatient about it...
She hold his hand and led him to the hall...which was simply but nicely decorated with flowers and candles...
Astha:Here is our cake patidev...she said pointing towards the table...
