Today after returning from astha's house when astha was happily praising her patidev for his good behaviour towards astha's family when she hurt's her foot and shloky boy who had a bad tummy himself couldn't resist helping astha by holding onto her hand to help her upstairs,(It looks like shloky is given the sweet punishment of saving astha because of hurting her in the past, and shloky uses it to hold on to dear wifey and never misses a chance to hold her),when astha saw aditi and couldn't resist showing of how much shlok cared for her, but aditi in retaliation told astha that she knew that astha and shlok were not sleeping together, so will use this to separate them.So astha now decides to put aditi in her place, so says that she needs aditi's help and takes her to her room, where shloky is suffering from indigestion, given very lovingly by sasubai, and hands over the sleeping mat to aditi and asks her to keep it in the storeroom as the mat had bedbugs and then escorts aditi outside the room and closes the door on her face and also closes the window curtains(thank god sense at last).
Now shloky boy's antennae are completely up and all his senses start to go haywire and at first out of fear asks astha what she is doing and where she's going to sleep, to which astha answers that she will sleep here only, and without specifying where, she goes to change.
When astha came out , shloky is already in bed and playing with his dear wifey's gift cellphone, indicating that he is thinking about her and was actually expecting astha to sleep on the bed with him.But when dear astha goes directly to the couch and starts to set the pillow, shloky boy looks at astha like what is she doing on the couch instead of the bed with him but when astha tells him goodnight , he resigned to himself that this girl never uses her brains and puts off the light and went to sleep, well I think he tried to sleep but couldn't(indigestion maybe) and so was just closing his eyes, when to his luck, astha in her restless sleep saw a rat and went into a tizzy and tried to wake shloky, but shloky boy saw his chance and decided not to get up, even after astha creates a ruckus that could wake an elephant, so astha in her fear jumped into the bed near shloky and tries to wake him up but shloky was not giving up his chance at having wifey with him , so didn't get up.Astha now in fear holds on to shloky boy and goes to sleep,then(with his attraction music in the BG which confirms that he was not sleeping but acting)shloky boy holds dear wifey's hand and goes to sleep.
In the morning when aditi came into the room with tea she found shlok and astha on the bed together, when shlok woke up and saw aditi he puts astha's hand aside without any surprise that she's sleeping near him(again confirming that he knew what happened at night)and now adtha also woke up and saw aditi seeing them together and smiles happily but decides to put on a act for shloky that she's still sleeping.
shloky now decides to tease his dear wifey , and so comes and wakes her up and asks her what she's doing in his bed and when she answers that she has the right as his wife and doesn't need an excuse to sleep on the bed with him, he makes faces as if he was irritated but was most happy that she was at last taking her rights as his wife because now shloky boy didn't have to face the task of telling her his innermost feelings that he loved her and wanted her very much and so could keep his ego intact.
But again astha decided to throw the ball in his court by thinking that if she could make him say 'I LOVE YOU 'atleast once then it would be ok. but when shloky tells her not to think much as her brain won't function much or will go out of order, adtha says that she doesn't know about her brain but as he knows everything about her heart , why doesn't he guess what her heart is thinking now and when shloky says that he is not god(now where did this gyaan come from)to read her mind, astha blurts out that she was thinking of saying 'I ..., and when she stops , shloky boy latches on to it like a lifeline and comes closer to her and asks her to say what she meant by ,'I..., one thing that shloky is really addicted to is astha saying 'I love you 'all the time to him .
Astha though acts like a batameeze is really very shy when it comes to the actual act whereas even though shlok acts uninterested does the actual kaminapan...
Today ,at that moment he reminded me of old shlok who kept on making astha say 'I love you', all the time , BAAR BAAR EK BAAR PHIR, miss that loving shlok a lot , and I never for a moment doubted shlok's love for astha even then and definitely not now,,, come what may,,, even the swati tsunami,it may create a lot of grief for both shlok and astha, but it will come and go but ASHLOK will definitely survive their deep love, which is their they destiny.
