Part 22
5 years earlier
Anjali was fuming in anger after seen them so close. She was surprised that if they married under contract ... then why they behaved likes real couple. She could senses something fishy in the whole marriage thing. she knew that Shlok was not involved with anyone so how could be it possible to fall in love with a random girl like Aastha overnight and even married to her while he knew that Nimay also liked her...
"oh so Shlok that is the reason behind your sudden decision of marriage... you snatched again my son happiness... his love but I promise you that I will not let you be happy with your life... now let's play the game... one year marriage contract will be your headache now..." Anjali thought cunningly and smiled slyly.
********...************
Aastha and Shlok came to dining room where all family members were waiting for them. Aastha wore her simple usual attire. Anjali saw her and commented satirically
"Aastha you are not a typical middle class girl now... you are now Agnihotri's Daughter in law so you should look like that..." Aastha looked Shlok after heard her comment.
"I think Mrs Anjali Agnihotri I didn't give you any right ever to speak in my matters. She is my wife and she will live as per her own wish..." Shlok frowned his eyes.
"But Shlok she is right... son... Aastha is now Agnihotri and she should look like an Agnihotri family." his grandfather supported to Anjali first time in life. Shlok looked him irritatingly and wondered he agreed with the woman.
Aastha who was hearing... jumped in the conversation.
"sorry grand pa... I didn't think about this but I will take care from now..." she said and looked towards Shlok.
"Where is your Mangal sutra and vermilion on your forehead at least you should take care about that..." Anjali again added the fuel when Aastha looked at her with burnt eyes
"Sorry but Shlok doesn't believe in all this showoff so I don't think it is necessary to wear that..." she said and looked to Shlok.
"Yes ... she is right... no need for all the sign... we have trust on each other... that's enough..." his serious tone made Aastha started to chough. She didn't expect this type of reply from him. Shlok looked her with sharp gaze on her antics and gave her a glass of water with slight angry expression which only she could see.
She took the glass with smirked and smiled mockingly. Shlok finished his breakfast and left the table as he was getting late for office.
"Aastha come fast... we are getting late..." he ordered her while his grandfather and NA his father looked him with surprise.
"What do you mean... why are you taking her office with you?" his grandfather asked with some confusion.
"Grand pa... she is my assistant also so she will go with me..." he replied in casual tone. Aastha went to take her bag. His grandfather was shockingly surprised on his answer. When Aastha returned from room, he asked
"What do you mean...? Aastha do you also want to work in office as assistant... I mean beta you are Agnihotri DIL now so you don't need to do small job like that..." he said in affectionate tone. Aastha felt so touched while Shlok looked furious on this wasting of time.
"Grand pa... I am doing this job for my family so that I can support them , I want to do this and Shlok doesn't has any objection on this matter." She said very wisely.
"But beta you don't need to do job for help them..." Grand father said when she interrupted
"Thanks grand pa but I don't like any favors in the name of Agnihotri. They are my responsibility and let me handle that. Sorry if I offended you..." she gave the clear and cut answer and left for office with Shlok.
"Oh god... I cannot find any weakness of them like this..." Anjali fumed inside her mind.
************...*******
"Where are we going... this is not the way to office..." she looked him with confusion.
"Just sit quietly... we are going for shopping..." he replied in firm tone. She was reluctant so again asked
"We are? I will not go with you anywhere... first drop me to office then do whatever you want ..." she said in stubborn tone. Shlok looked her with burning eyes.
"I cannot buy girly stuff so you have to come with me..." he grinned and mocked her.
"But I don't need your favor..." she said with attitude
"I don't give you any favor even I don't want to do that but they are right you are now Agnihotri DIL so you should look like that..." he became irritated and said in snobbish way.
"Oh my god... please save me... this man wants to change my originality..." she prayed to god with slight dramatic way. Shlok looked her with grin and irritation. He frowned his eyebrows.
They reached to best shopping outlet. Shlok instructed to the manager for best designers dresses and other most expensive stuff. Aastha was surprised why he was doing all this. She asked him
"Why are you doing all that... this was not including in our deal..." Shlok looked at her and muttered
"first don't talk about the deal here... we are in public place and if someone will hear that then it may be a problem because I am Shlok Agnihotri... and second I don't want to give any chance to Mrs. Anjali Agnihotri..." he hissed while she muttered back,
"Ok but you will not say anything between my shopping...I mean you will not interfere in that... I will take what I want." She smirked. She thought it was the best chance to take the revenge from him for his devilish acts.
"Ok buy what you want but it should be classy according to us not your type..." he taunted back on her fondness for bright colors.
She choose so many dresses and other stuff which were so beautiful. Shlok paid the bill looked at her
"Queen Victoria... she done lifetime shopping today... like she will not come again." He thought and walked out.
**********...***********
When Shlok came inside... she was trying to wear the saari... she didn't know how to wear saari so she was struggling. Shlok looked at her and saw the 6 meter long sari spread around her on the bed and the floor. He grinned to see all that and asked
"What the hell all that..." she turned on his firm voice. She replied in same tone as him
"Mrs. Anjali Agnihotri told me to wear this crap..." she muttered when he said in casual tone
"so wear it... what's the big deal..." She looked him helplessly
"I don't know how to wear sari because I never tried it..." she replied with some hesitation when he being little annoyed
"ohh don't you tell me that you don't know anything about it... I mean you are a girl and you don't know how to wear Sari..." he mocked her when she saw him fierce eyes and said
" I was not so girly type so I don't know but it seems you know about girls very well" she said with bit jealously.
"oh madam ... I hate you and I hate all the girls you know and now please just wind up all this mess and come in your real version of evil queen..." he said in teased tone and also threw the sari on her from the bed but his foot stuck in the scattered sari and he also fell down on bed with her. She fell on him and he looked her with furious eyes. He wanted to say something harsh but suddenly his mind rotated in devilish side so he smirked and pressed his hands on her bare waist. She stared him with prickling eyes but he looked unaffected from her gaze.
She tried to remove his hand by her tiny hands but he rolled her beneath him. She muttered on him
"Leave me you devil moron ..." she hissed on him when he looked in her eyes...
"Take your words back and say sorry first maybe I leave you..." he mocked her... she looked into his eyes and said
"Sorry my foot..." she was adamant while he was also snobbish
"Ok then pay the penalty..." he brought his face close to her and leaned on her to kiss her rosy lips. She clinched her eyes in reaction. He smiled wickedly and about to touch her lips when suddenly someone opened the door and came inside.
"Aaham ... Aaham... ups sorry wrong timing..." Nimay chuckled and left the room. While Shlok got up quickly and gave her a smirked look. She was embarrassed and fumed.
***********...*************
Present
Shlok was feeling restless after the last night. He was walking in his room here and there and failed to hold his emotions. He was longing to touch her, to feel her more after the last night. The barrier from past 5 years had been broken in previous night.
Aastha was in her room and searching the cloths in cupboard when he quietly came and shut the door behind him. He came to near her and took her in his arms from behind. She jumped in fear due to this sudden happening but when she felt his touch she looked him back.
He took her face in his one palm and kissed her hardened. She was shocked for some moment but later she also began to reciprocate to him. They kissed fiercely. He clasped her in his arms and moved his tongue inside her mouth. After the heated and impulsive kissing he parted away his lips for some air. She was also choking. He was looking charged and passionate once again. She looked him and asked
"What was this... are you insane... Alaap must be coming ..." she took her towel and walked towards the washroom. He also followed her quickly... pushed her inside and shut the door. She was surprised on his action.
"I want to make love with you once again..." he whispered in her ear and she flushed in red color from head to toe.
"Here..." she could not speak much. He pulled her in his hug
"Anywhere..." he kissed her neck like stewed man. He hurriedly rid off their clothes. She clutched the tap tightly when she felt his hot breathe on her skin. The cold water was starting to shower on them due to her action.
He pinned her to the wall and lift her little up. She tangled around him and closed the eyes when she felt him inside herself. They both became lost in the moment of passion... the cool breeze of water added the fuel in their desire.
