Part-8

Astha started crying...Shlok...where are we?

Hold yourself Astha, I myself don't know... Shlok held her...but she was crying badly...

Astha...shlok held from shoulders... control sweetie, nothing will happen...

But how will we go from here? How will we contact our family... Astha spoke...mob...mobile...she shouted... and checked her bag...which was still wrapped across her waist...she opened it on sand and found her mobile... But there was no range... Shlok too took his mobile from his pocket, his mobile was shut due to water.

Now how will we contact shlo...Astha started weeping again...

Astha...Shlok shaked her and pulled her into a hug...don't worry dear, we will soon find a way...you trust me?

Listening Astha's cries converted into sobs slowly almost finishing...yup...

Then trust me, I will keep you safely her and soon we will go back to our home...he cupped her face into his palms... ok?

Hum...she nodded...

Then no more cries...he wiped her tears...and moreover you are stronger than me yaar...waise to sara din mujhpe rob dalti rehti ho aur ab ro rhi ho? Shlok winked to lighten up her mood...

Astha too smiled at her joke and spoke hitting on his head...are budhu main to tere liye ro rhi hun...thinking what will swati do with you, when she will know, we were alone here...usne to akele ghumne se bhi mna kiya tha..hum to duniya mein hi akele reh guye...

Astha... Shlok made a punch at her and both started laughing...soon Shlok became serious and Astha too... don't worry dear, we will find a way...we are in see to koi cruise, koi boat to yhan ati hi hogi...we will wait for that... now you need to cool down, we will have to check on the island completely first for animals and danger and moreover how will we survive here till we get a way to be out form here...

Ya, you are right Shlok... But I am feeling thirsty...Astha spoke taking her bag... Taking water bottle from it...

As she drank few sips...shlok stopped her...wait Astha...we have just this one bottle, drink slowly...

Ya you are right Shlok...Astha spoke.

By the way Astha, aur kya ha tumhare bag mein...shlok tried to take her bag...

Hey don't touch a girl's bag...Astha snatched it form his hands and started checking it... umm, I have one more bottle of water, some snacks, biscuits, chocolates...a hand towel, one more t- shirt, I had purchased before entering the cruise...umm...paper soap...mouthwash, comb , a small cutter and some girly stuff, you don't need to know...

Wow...tumhare ass to baba ji ka pitara hai yaar...that's great... change your shirt...Shlok spoke...

What? Astha asked...you mean...kho na pyar hai?

What? Shlok held his head... Yaar hum fanse huye hain and you are remembering movies...madam wo filmy story thi , they got everything on deserted island, we will get nothing... We will have to manage somehow...

Yup, you are right Shlok... hamein thoda mom dad dhundte huye yhan lene aa jayenge...by the way time kya hoga shlok... astha spoke with a puppy face...

May be midday, she spoke looking at sun...first you change your top and we will hang it on the beach hurry up...

Ok, saying Astha moved towards rock...

Astha wait...shlok shouted...change here...

What? Astha looked at him in shock...are you mad?

No yaar...tum bhi na... Shlok jerked... I am just asking because we have not checked yet for any animal or any other danger here yet, that's why...ok, I turn my face, you change your t shirt...

Ya, you are right shlok...turn your side...

Shlok did the same and Astha changed her t-shirt giving to Shlok... Shlok broke a branch of the tree and hanged the t-shirt on it near beach so that it would be visible form any cruise or boat coming this side...

Both took mouthwash cleaning their mouth, had a bit water and few biscuits and moved forward looking here and there for animals or some living persons...shlok had taken small knife for her bag I his hand for safety and they both had taken long wood sticks in their hands to make way...

It was a small island without any dangerous animals and any person covered by sea from all sides...nothing was visible at long distances as they went on the top of a small rock to look for any life, but nothing was visible...

But something that they found for good was few fruit trees which were eatables and coconut trees...Shlok broke some coconuts from trees and they drank their water after breaking with stones...and had a few fruits , which was sufficient for the day for them...but they were really disappointed as whole day had passed but no boat, no cruise was visible till now...day was almost ending, starts were getting visible as well as cold due to middle of sea and water on all sides...

Astha was getting sad by now... Shlok when will we go home...she spoke keeping her head on his shoulder...

Soon dear... we will go back actually hamein to ye bhi nahi pta, where are we? What isour distance from life...but don't worry, soon I will do something...just a matter of one or two days...hum...he smiled...

yup...Astha too smiled...Shlok...i am feeling cold. ...

Ya me too...let me do something...Shlok said... he collected dry woods from near by and collected a bit away from beach...

Lakdian to ikkathi ho gyi but fire? Shlok spoke worriedly...

Astha smiled...science nahi padi kya? She took two stones from near by and started rubbing them against each other, soon they got heated up...shlok bring dry grass near soon...Astha shouted...

Shlok immediately collected dry grass near stones and after hard work of half an hour, fire had started...

Finally, we succeeded, they both hi fived...

It was midnight, when Astha woke up with the noise of a cruise...

Shlok, shlok... she woke him up...

Han...he woke up lazily...

Cruise...there...she signaled...

Shlok got up immediately and started shouting...hey...here...we are... but due to darkness, no response...

As cruise passed by, Astha sat nearby...Shlok, one thing is clear...whatever our location is, we are at some approachable place...

Ya...I was also thinking the same astha...shlok too smiled...and this is a big hope. we have to wait for any cruise at day time...

Next day morning, they both got up and used a bit water to drink...had fruits...

Shlok, I am feeling hungry...Astha spoke...

Then have fruits...Shlok spoke giving her some fruit...

No yaar...its not working, I need some thing solid to eat...she made a puppy face...

Astha...would you like to eat fish?

What? Atsha shocked...are you mad? You know, I am veg...

Ok, two options...either eat fish or eat fruit...choice is all yours...

Shlok but...she hesitated...

Astha, you are not breaking your rule for happiness...but for your survival...decision is all yours...

But how will we cook that...she spoke hesitatingly...

On fire...he smiled moving in the sea removing his shirt to catch fish... And they had got their food...

Three days had passed like this, circumstances had taught them to survive, they had small amount of water to drink, fire to protect from cold at night, hut to protect from sunlight at day, fish and fruit to eat and other basic necessaries now but still Astha was sad today sitting on the beach waiting for any cruise, as from last three days they had seen at night...

Shlok came near her and sat wrapping his arm around his shoulder...

Astha looked at him teary eye and placed her head on his shoulder...he tightened his grip on her and caressed her face...don't worry Astha..i have promised we will be back to home soon...

Astha nodded in yes giving a faded smile...ya, I know shlok...but I am missing Mom Dad a lot... they must have known by now na, we are missing...

Humm...Shlok nodded, they must be looking for us by now...

Mom jab mujhe baat baat pe dantti thi, she interfered a lot, stopped me from wrong doings... Then I used to get angry... ab main wo sab feel karna chahti hun...

Shlok nodded in yes...ya astha same here...

Mujhe bhi dad ki bhut yaad aa rhi hai... He knows I call him Hitler...but he never stopped me... he knows I hate to go to office, he never forced me, and instead he always fulfilled my right and wrong wishes... even then I could never bond with him... same with mom, Sojal...they used to care for me always but I never valued them... but in last three days, I have missed them most even more than Swati...

Shlok, you know, why all this happened? Because ewe told them such a big lie to fulfill our wishes... Astha looked at him...

Yup Astha.. god punished us for our sin for thinking about hurting our parents... yaar, I think what if I would have asked them a bit hardly to get married to swati... if not today then tomorrow, they must have asked yes...as they fulfill all my wishes, even then I took a a wrong path...

Ya Shlok you are right... Ya I wanted to live my life but may be if I could make them understand my point of view I a better way then this could not be the situation today... A tear rolled over Astha's face...

Stop crying astha...Shlok wiped her tears...i promise, soon we will be back to our home and we will ask sorry from them , I know they will forgive us and we will tell them what we want...

Nina, what's problem with your Dad? something...
