Shlok entered in the room slowly and closed the door behind and turned to see room lightened with candles all around with aroma fragrance... He slowly walked towards the bed decorated with flowers where a girl was sitting in the middle wearing red sari while her face was covered half with the veil...
Shlok's heart was beating fast as he was moving towards the bed...
With slow steps he reached near bed and sat near the girl...and moved near the girl...
With his shivering hands, he slowly picked the veil from girl's face...
It was Astha , his two hours old bride...Her eyes were closed while he slowly touched her chin to pick her face...Astha looked into his eyes and her hand automatically reached on his arm...
She slowly held his arm and suddenly pushed his hand away from her chin and pulled her dupatta from her head... Stop behaving like a hubby Shlok...see your face, you are shivering like really you are going to your bride for suhagraat...Astha held his shoulders laughing making him turn towards Mirror.
Ya same here...Shlok too controlled himself... I was also about to say same... what's all this? You are sitting here like really you are my bride...I was afraid...khi tum shadi ko sach mein dil pe to nahi le gyi...he winked at her with smile...
Shadi... Astha jerked her shoulders removing her jewelry... my foot...she made a face...you know I hate all this drama... but the way you were shivering while pulling my dupatta, I thought you took it seriously... She punched him friendly...
Actually yaar, I was afraid, what if our parents come to know, our marriage is just a contract between us to get our wishes fulfilled... Shlok shivered a bit... You know my dad...that hitler will kill me...
To kisne kha tha mujhse shadi kro...Astha jerked her shoulders... you could directly go and tell Niranjan uncle, what your demand was...
Yes, like I would have asked him and he must have granted...you know...how akdu that hitler is...shlok spoke thinking about Niranjan...he would love to kill me than fulfilling my wish... Shlok made a puppy face...but you, You had option...you could marry Akhil too...
Us Akhil se shadi karne se acha tha, I could jump into a well... Astha looked into his eyes...moreover my problem could be still same, jaise, he could stand by me for my dreams... But of course shloku...Astha wrapped her arm around shlok's shoulder...i knew I had just one option , by marrying each other, our problems will be solved sweetu...
Madam...your problem is solved...Shlok spoke, but my problem is still there...Shlok too wrapped his arm around her shoulder...now solve that...

Hum, Shlok sighed...I know dear...
Astha smiled thinking about their past...
**************************************************************************
It was group actually a gang of students Shlok, Astha, Swati, Sojal and Varad at Business Institute, they were best of friends, could do anything for each other...
Sojal and Varad were in love while shlok and Swati were in love with each other however Astha was the studious one from them with high ambitions in life to settle her own business, an event management company...
But despite of daughter of rich business man Avdhoot kirloskar...she was bound... bound in the regulations made by her parents, restrictions bound on her being girl... Her mother Kalindi never liked her life style as she was careless, more like boys... She wanted to fly high... Enjoy herself...she wanted to join her father's business... But Kalindi never allowed her...
She was always bound to wear salwar kameez, to follow all the rules of her house, not to speak loudly, not to listen music and many more...but she used to find out a way in between...
Her mother was completely against her management studies... just after her graduation, her parents had started looking for suitable match for her...but she used to make every boy say no with her tactics...finally her parents had agreed to let her continue her studies but there was problem again, she wanted to go abroad for MBA, but Avdhoot had declared, if she wants to continue her study, she will have to take admission only where Sojal was...so Astha had to join same institute.
Sojal was Avdhoot's best friend Niranjan's daughter who was also a businessman. Astha and Sojal were childhood friends...while Shlok was Sojal's twin brother, who was sent in boarding in junior school, had returned here for MBA as his five years old girlfriend Swati had took admission in MBA here in Pune , so he too joined the same institute inspite of his father's efforts to send him abroad.
Shlok was a carefree boy having aimless life as he knew, his father has a big business, big name and a huge bank account. If he had any aim in life, that was just to marry Swati... who was middle class girl...and he knew, his parents will never agree for same, as for them, social status matter more...
Somehow two years had passed like this...Shlok Swati together, while Sojal had found Varad as her love...but Astha still convincing her parents to let her settle her own Event management company...but she was shocked when, Avdhoot had declared her wedding with Akhil even without asking her, who was businessman in Mumbai having a big financial status...she had tried to convince Akhil a lot, but for Akhil, it was more a business deal than marriage...as being only daughter, Astha was going to be only beneficiary of Avhdoot's property.
There Shlok had joined his father's business after completion of studies and had tried a lot to convince Anjali and Niranjan for Swati but all in vain...
It was one evening when Swati told him she was going to US as she had got job there and had given him ultimatum of two months to convince his parents before she comes back otherwise she will leave him forever and he didn't want to lose her at any cost.
The same evening, Astha had come home and was crying a lot in front of Sojal and Shlok...while Varad was also there...
What should I do Sojal? Astha asked...instead of marrying that Akhil and killing my dreams, I think, I should kill myself... Astha spoke frustrated..
Ya, same here ...Shlok too sighed... I don't think, mom dad will ever agree... wo hitler ko apni jhuthi izzat jyada pyari hai instead of my happiness...and I can't stay away from Swati...
Yaar ajeeb problem hai...varad smiled... Your parents want you to marry akhil but you want to live life on your terms...he looked at Astha and you...he looked at Shlok... you want to marry Swati but your parents don't agree...
Don't be so happy Varad, Shlok punched him... They don't know about you and sojal yet...otherwise you will also be crying with us...this is your future too...
Bhai is right Varad, Sojal made a puppy face... If they don't agree for Swati, they will not agree for you even...
So what to do? They all were thinking... Some method, jisse all problem will be solved...
Suddenly Varad spoke... Shlok, your parent's don't agree for Swati because she is financially not too strong, but will they agree for Astha?
What? They all were shocked? Are you nuts?
No yaar...Varad shouted... First listen to me...
Shlok you wanna marry Swati?
Yes...Shlok replied...
And Astha you don't want to marry and settle your business for which you need money? Varad spoke with confidence...
Yes, but how will it solve your problem? Astha spoke with irritation...
Then listen...Astha you go to your parents and say them you can't marry Akhil because you love Shlok...
Your parents are friends na, they will agree and will ask Niranjan uncle for your marriage with Shlok...
Shlok, with some yes no, you will say yes...
Within one month... Astha you both will start fighting frequesntly and declare divorce...
What? They all were shocked...
Yes, you both will file divorce...after divorce, Shlok will convince his parents that you failed in getting proper match for me...now I will marry with my own choice...to avoid disrespect in society they will agree... And Astha you will ask for huge money for divorce from Shlok and he will pay you...then you may settle your life...
Astha thought for a moment and smiled... Good idea Varad...
But Astha your family's honor? Sojal asked...
Did they think about my wishes? Astha looked into her eyes...then why should I worry? What you say Shlok?
Umm... I too think its good idea. Just Swati agrees...
After long discussions it was final, and as they had decided... when Astha declared she loved Shlok...bot families had agreed, after a bit hesitation, Shlok too had agreed...
And the result was...they two were married today...
Let's see how their life takes turn after wedding...
