Part-14
I am your hubby na at present? Then tell me, tumhare according main good hubby hun ya nahi? He asked looking into her eyes...
Astha was shocked on listening his question...she just stammered on listening...
Han han btao... we have been friends for two years but that was just a group friendship, we understood each other in last one month the most...he smiled and now I can say you are the best one I have ever met in my life...so caring, so much understanding... Shlok spoke smiling holding her hands in his hands... And what about you?
(You are the best person shlok, I have ever met...first man to touch me, one who made me a lady from a carefree girl...maybe you are the one, whom I love now...but I can't say all this because i know you don't belong to me...you are someone else's treasure safe in my hands...who trusted me to let me near you...)
Umm...me? She smiled...I had always thought my husband should be at good position, working, and rich, understanding, with strong self-respect and...
Ummm...you are nice, understanding, responsible, rich...
Wow...so many good qualities in me...thanks thanks thanks...he held her shoulders...
Listen yaar...but the main quality is missing...work, self-respect? How can a girl stay happy with a man if she will have to ask to her in-laws for each and every small requirement instead of her hubby?
Shlok looked at her unexpectedly...she looked at and caressed his face...Shlok, not only me but Swati will also never like that you depend on your parents to fulfill her every need...
Ii think you are right yaar..kal raat koi sis baat se jhagda huya hmara...he spoke...so, now I too think, I should go to office...
That's good...Astha smiled...come let's have breakfast, then we will leave together...bhookh lgi hogi tumhe...
How do you know, I didn't have breakfast? Shlok smiled...
Patidev ho mere tum...she winked at him...itna to pta hi hai ke office ke naam pe khana bahar hi aya hoga tumhara...now come let's go...
As Atsha turned to go...Shlok held her hand...Astha...
She turned to see him...
Do you think, I will be able to work in office...he asked her...
Astha smiled and moved closer...I am sure Shlok, you will not just work but will handle entire Agnihotri group easily and with full responsibility...
Thanks for keeping trust in me...actually making me trust on myself...he too smiled...while Astha moved out of room yet Shlok was still standing there ...
Now what? she came back...ab chalo we are getting late...she smiled holding his hand taking him out...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They both came downstairs...while Avdhoot and Kalindi were waiting for them...
Astha beta, I was coming to call you both for breakfast...
Ya Mom, feeling quite hungry... Astha smiled...
And me too aunty...Shlok sat next to her...while Avdhoot also joined them for breakfast...
Shlok, aaj subah subah yhan? Sab thik to hai na? Avdhoot asked curiously to know if they are succeeding in their mission to bring them closer..
Uncle , actually I am going to join Dad's office today. Shlok smiled... wahi discuss karna tha astha ke sath... Actually iski help ke bina b meri gadi nahi chalti...
That's good, Kalindi smiled...best of luck...
Thanks Aunty...shlok smiled getting up from breakfast and touching Avdhoot and kalindi's feet...they both blessed him...and avdhoot went to their room followed by kalindi to take his office bag...
Shlok was about to leave...when Astha stopped him...
Shlok wiat...Astha stopped him and fed her dahi shakkar ...
Ye kay ahai ab? He asked...
Mom ne khha tha, naye kaam e jane se pehle ye kha ke jana chahiye... Shubh hota hai...
Tum aur tumahre superstitions...he spoke irritatingly...
Nahi khana? Astha made a puppy face...
He smiled and held her hand and put spoon in his mouth...They both shared a speaking smile, when Astha moved closer...putting his arms around his neck...
Aaahaaa...ye kya hai? Shlok spoke naughtily...
Shut up...Astha smiled shyly and slowly settled his shirt's collar and buttoned the top two buttons of his shirt...while Shlok was looking at her lovingly...
You are going to office Mr. not to a party...cloth yourself properly...saying she unfolded his sleeves too and settled his hair with her hands...
He smiled...to sham ko shopping pe chlein? Main kuch business suits le lunga? And then dinner?
Shlok...she punched her...subah office join karna haia ur sham ko shopping? Chup chap office jayo...
Thik hai, jar ha hun main...Shlok showed her fake anger...but sham ko we all are partying with my first income... He winked at her...
Astha just smiled and waved him bye as well as good luck...
While Avdhoot and Kalindi were smiling seeing them happy together...
I wish bappa, one day they will be together... very soon...kalindi folded her hands...while Avdhoot left with Astha for office...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
It was evening when Shlok was back from office, he had taken Sojal with him and called Varad and Astha at club for party...
On th every first day party? Astha smiled...
Astha tum to janti ho, bhai just needs no reason to party...aur aj to it's a big day for him...finally he spent complete eight hours in office for the first time,.,.,.,.,.,.Sojal winked ta astha...both shared a laugh while Shlok glared at Sojal...
When someone tapped Astha's shoulder from back...Astha?
As she turned, she jumped with joy... Vini? Here?
Hey astha...a smart boy saw her puling her for warm hug...
Astha held his hands...vini, after so much time? Wow its great...
Yup...it feels great meeting school friends after years...by the way introduce nahi karwaogi apne friends se? Vinay, Astha's school friend smiled...
Oh ya...she smiled...Meet my friends Shlok, Sojal and Varad,...guys, he is Vinay, my school friend... she introduced all of them they all had hand shake...so what's up Astha? What's going on in life...
Umm just completed MBA last year now joined Dad's company...soon will start my own...Astha smiled...what about you?
I did engineering from IIT now working in MNC in US, just came to India last week...Vini smiled...
Wow..that's great...Astha smiled...while Shlok was feeling restless with Atsha continuously holding his hands...
When vini asked her... Hey dance?
Ya, why not , Astha too smiled...and moved with him on dance floor smiling at Sojal Varad and Shlok...
Waiter...shlok shouted turning towards bar hiding his restlessness...
Bhai ko aaj kya huya...Sojal asked varad...
Varad smiled... something is burning...he winked ta Sojal...
Yup, you are right...these days bhai spends more time with Astha than Swati...just hope he discovers his newly form feelings soon...they both smiled while Shlok was taking his third drink by then...
Varad, stop bhai, he never takes more than one... Sojal saw Shlok drinking continuously...
If you want...aag mein ghee dalun? Varad smirked looking at Sojal...saying he tapped shlok's shoulder...
Shlok turned with drink in his hands...
See, Astha is dancing beautifully...he made him look at astha who was dancing as well talking vini, both were laughing together...
In anger Shlok took one more peg and finished in one sip...
They are looking very good na? Varad looked at Shlok...umm, I think, that vini likes Astha...
Ya, I also think so...Sojal smiled...
Chao badiya hai...after divorce, Astha will also be happy with someone...fingers crossed...Varad spoke looking from corners of eyes towards Shlok...
Now Shlok was fuming in anger...when suddenly he started moving towards the dance floor...
Ab ayega mja...Varad and Sojal hugged each other...
There on dance floor, Shlok held vini's shoulder...Mr. Vinay...if you don't mind, may I have the pleasure to dance with my WIFE...he stressed...
WIFE? Vinay was almost shocked...Astha you got married? He looked at Astha...you didn't tell me...
Wo actually vini...we had contract marriage...soon to get divorce...
Marriage or contract marriage...Shlok stressed each and every word...she is my wife at the moment , my legal married wife...saying Shlok held Astha's hand pulling her into his arms tightly holding her from waist...
Ok Astha, see you later...saying vini left from there seeing jealousy as well as anger in Shlok's eyes and thinking its their personal matter...while Shlok pulled her close into his arms moving closer and closer...
Shlok, you are drunk? Astha was shocked...control yourself...she tried to move away...
Kyon ? us vini ke sath to bda dance ho rha tha, I am your husband... He looked into his eyes...
Shlok you have gone mad...saying Astha got herself free from his clutch while Sojal and Varad seeing everything suddenly turned their faces away not letting Atsha doubt them, when Astha ran outside the club to lawns...and Shlok followed her...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As she went outside , it was dark, when Shlok held her hand pulling her closer...
Shlok, leave me, you are out of senses now...Astha was irritated...
Why Astha? Why should I leave you? And how dare he to touch you... Shlok shouted pulling her closer that she almost stuck into him...
What's your problem Shlok? Why are you behaving so differently? Why are you so much...jealous? Astha shouted in anger...
Jealous? He muttered ... yes...I am jealous...i hated, when he touched you...i hated when he smiled with you...I hated when he danced with you...when he... Shlok placed his one hand on Astha's face caressing her...his voice had softened and deepened by then...when he looked into your eyes...you face...when he...
Shlok slowly held her hand placing on his heart... pta hai astha yhan dard huya, jab...jab usne tumhe chuya...
Astha had tears in her eyes listening...while Shlok had loosened his grip on her hand and his hand had slowly moved to her waist while his other hand was still on her face moving towards her hair...i really hated Astha, when I felt, he was more closer to you than me...he softly spoke into her ear...how can anyone feel you except me? Saying he slowly moved his face closer and suddenly placed his lips on her...
Astha was shocked at his action...but he was in mood to let her go...Astha closed her eyes tightly as if it was a dream and she didn't want it to break ever...
How can anyone touch you except me...You are just mine Atsha...just mine... he spoke picking his lips and sucked her lower lip...
She was completely smitten by these words, she felt like she's on some drug..
He entwined his fingers into her's and slowly came near her neck , He slowly started kissing her neck , showering soft wet kisses from the base of her neck to her earlobe , Astha's grip tightened on shlok.
He kissed her earlobe and whispered You are JUST MINE Astha... Saying he again moved towards her lips...this time for hard passionate kiss...her hands had slowly moved to his hair...
I wanted to listen same Shlok, from days...I wanted to tell you...how much I Love you...I ......Astha thought and finally opened her eyes , and her heart beat stopped seeing him so close to her , so close that their breaths collided ...
But soon she came back to reality...NO... ...This can't happen...ever...you belong to Swati only...she trusted me for you... suddenly she shouted pushing Shlok away and ran from there
