.
Yesterday astha Who realised the love and need that she could see in shlok's eyes and his fear of her leaving him alone decided to go with her heart and love and choose to stay with shlok for life as he himself was averse to divorce but this time mainly for himself.
So now astha Is going to the agni mansion as the real bahu and wife unlike before when it was for only shlok's love that she went Irrespective of other Important matters she should have considered , which were staring in her face and which she ignored, like anjali's dislike for her and her constant warnings to astha of the consequences if she pursued shlok, the insults heaped on her parents constantly, the differences between their families status, and why NA was eager to have her as bahu, and mainly the past love of shlok, swati, which she was aware from the beginning as she had seen shlok 's strong reactions whenever the issue came forward but which she ignored because shlok covered it up by marrying her in the temple.
But after marriage , when she started to realise that shlok might have cheated her(I for one doubt it as I go with the theory that though shlok may have or acted to hate her , he definitely loved her too as far as the facts that stood clear and the reason behind shlok's drama and baba's and his insults, could have been his ego as well ,as astha insulted him many times and to teach astha a lesson that life was not as easy as it looked and people were not what they potrayed outside but could be evil within as to even take a life ,or viceversa and that her actions could backfire on her and cause her harm )astha had to go through a nig8htmare of shlok's hate she never expected and with only her love for shlok which guided her through it .
When kalindi came to know of it by circumstances , she pressurized astha to file for divorce even when astha was not ready for it and astha had no choice as both kalindi and shlok were pulling her both ways and out of guilt that she had not listened to her mother before and so faced such troubles, this time she agreed to her mother and applied for divorce even though her heart was not ready to leave shlok.After the court's decision of six months trial to save the relationship, when this time she had to stay with shlok she came to realise many things like shlok's problems and insecurities regarding the swati issue and how his past was affecting him by not allowing him to move forward and his actual nature which was soft , caring and trustworthy as she herself experienced and then again fell in love with the real shlok and by confessing her love openly astha came out of it more stronger than before in love, understanding, trust, and mainly as a person, who knew what she wanted and went for it daringly, without thinking or fearing failure and still having no expectations except love more stronger.
When before she allowed every one to influence her decisions regarding her life even shlok now adtha took the decision herself completely even without shlok pressurizing her as before.Now Astha even convinced kalindi , who is the most important person and who she listened to,about her decision by telling her ,shlok loved her and this time it was astha's decision too without any presssure from anyone like last time.This time she took the decision fully aware of shlok'spast and nature and his fears and insecurities and his hate she thought he had for her ,and somewhere a little bit of love he had for her and by which she could make him realise the love he may have for her.
Open your eyes girl, he not only loves you like mad, he can't stay one second without you in his life.If you had divorced him, he would have moved heaven and earth even dear baba, who is already scared of your hold on baccha,to bring you back or followed you everywhere you went and made your life hell, untill you came back to him.
Now astha has arrived and her real journey as ASTHA SHLOK AGNIHOTRI will start and it's definitely not going to be as easy as it looks even though shlok loves her.She will have to fight so many battles,like aditi and especially like shlok's past with swati which is yet to be resolved, against lies, NA,injustice and suppression of women,shady deals in business, helping jyoti and anjali's parents,helping sojal for her rights, and maybe show shlok his father's real face if he already doesn't know,etc,and maybe shlok himself many times but ASTHA will win the war in the end with shlok by her side as her guide, lover, husband and protecter but sometimes enemy too.
As for her naughty behaviour with shlok and her challenge that she will make them come together as husband and wife, (because shlok told her that her childishness and her not thinking of his fathers POV and if by chance she hurts his family , she will have to separate herself from him, even though she loves him, they will never be husband and wife in real physicalsense),is her right as wife and lover and astha can do anything with her dear husband as she wants.IT'S completely between an husband and wife , how they behave with each other as that is the most intimate relationship between a man and woman , but when love enters than all barriers and curtains will come down by itself, as deep love is there in ashlok's relation, whether they like or not , or know it or not.
GO ASTHA GET YOUR PATIDEV , HE'S ALREADY READY , THAT'S WHY HE'S SACRED OF COMING NEAR YOU, DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE TO YOU AS HIS EGO WON'T ALLOW HIM, BUT WILL BE HAPPY WITH A BITE OR TWO, LIKE A SMALL BOY(SCARED OF BABA) WHO WANTS TO RESIST THE FORBIDDEN CAKE BUT IS TEMPTED TO GOBBLE IT UP AND DEFINITELY WILL IN THE END. HAPPY MARRIED LIFE , ASHLOK.
