Chapter 2
,,Chachi! Chachi! "
Aastha didn't want to open her eyes. After all the tensed week she finally slept peacefully- in the arms of her husband.
,,Chachi what are you doing with Chachu in Bed?"
Aastha suddenly opened her eyes as she heard Kavya laughing. She sat up and saw Kavya standing in the middle of the room; the door wide open.
,,SHLOK!" Aastha shooke him and tried to wake him up but he just caught her hand and tried to pull her closer. She blushed smiling but still tried to wake him up.
,,Kya Hua Aastha? I am tired let me sleep for god's sake." Shlok woke up and looked around. His eyes caught his niece giggling seeing him half naked. And full of scratch marks and love bites.
,, Kavya beta go and play please. Your Chachi and I will follow you in a bit okay?"
Kavya nodded and closed the door behind her. Aastha sighed in relieve and looked for her Night Dress. ,, That was so embarrassing Shlok. What if she tells anyone what she saw?" She turned around and looked at him, looking at her. Shlok looked at Aastha as if he has never ever seen anyone as beautiful as her. For him she looked like an angel-his Angel.
,, Why are you staring at me like this?"
,, You are the most beautiful person in this entire World. I am admiring your Beauty."
Aastha blushed and ran to the Bathroom. She didn't trust her emotions and herself when she was with Shlok and she knew if she wouldn't leave right now they would start all over again. A Smile appeared on Aasthas Face and a Voice in her Head told her: If she was really honest. That was exactly what she wanted. She wanted him whenever possible. Both of them were insatiable for each other.
After a while both of them had a shower and were getting ready to go downstairs.
,, Shlok can you help me tie my dori?"
Aastha tried it herself but she failed, her arms were too short. Shlok laughed and went closer to help her. His lips drove over her neck and he kissed her softly. Aastha smiled and Shlok hugged her from behind.
,, Aastha!"
,,Kya Hua?"
,, We have to tell everyone about your Pregnancy."
Aasthas smile disappeared and she became quiet. She was afraid of his Father and of what he was capable of anything. What is she was having a girl? What would he do to her and her baby? He could easily manipulate Shlok...after all Shlok loved his Father but what would happen if Shlok would get to know the True Face of his Father?
He would be broken and Aastha couldn't see him sad. If his Heart broke she would be the one with the pain.
Shlok seemed to see she was upset and got scared.
,,Aastha? Kya Hua? Are you fine? Do you have any pain? Is the Baby ok? Should we see a doctor?".
Aastha turned half around and smiled at him.
,, Nahi Shlok I am Fine really. You don't need to worry lekin..."
,,Lekin Kya?"
,,Lekin I have a question...And I am afraid of your answer."
Shlok was confused. Why was she afraid of his answer? What could her question be?
,,Ask me anything you want honey." He looked at her with the feeling that something was wrong; that something was bothering her.
,, Would...Would you be angry if we would have a baby girl? I mean would you only be happy if we would have a boy? I know every Man wants an heir."
Aastha could not look at him; she was afraid he would see her fear. The fear of his Father and want he wanted and what he could do if things were not going the way he wanted them too. Shlok wanted his Father to be happy so would he even differentiate between a girl and boy?
The loving husband he was Shlok immediately saw her fear and decided to tease her. After all he was Shlok Agnihotri, no matter how much he would fall in love with her he would always stay the same man he was; teasing, challenging.
,,Well Aastha...You know what my Baba thinks. He wants a grandson, someone who would carry our Name, someone who will be like him." He started and Aastha looked away to hide her tears; she felt pity for her unborn child. Slowly her hands caressed her stomach which was still flat. His Hands soon followed hers and she looked up.
,, But what I want matters, right? I want a little Aastha. I want a little Princess. She needs to be like you: loving, caring, naughty , a little drama queen of course after all she would be our Daughter. But most importantly...do you want to know why I want a little Aastha? I want my daughter to change the life of a man like you changed mine." Shlok turned Aastha around and his fingers touched her cheeks.
,, I want her to smile and see the world as a place in which everything is possible. I want her to love and to be free. Our Daughter will find a man who will love her more than we ever could. He will take care of her and she will make his Life complete. The way you completed mine. Aastha without you I am nothing. I need you more than the air I breathe and I want our daughter to be loved the way I love you.
That's why I want a daughter. So you don't need to be concerned. No matter if it's a boy or a girl I will love him or her till the day I die."
Aastha could not control her emotions and hugged Shlok tightly.
His Thoughts just confirmed her that he would be an amazing father, he would love his child no matter if it was a boy or a girl. They had equal rights for him.
,, Thank you Shlok. Today you proved me why I was right in loving you. I love you." She kissed him softly and he kissed her back. Her hands found their way to his collar and she played with his buttons. He smiled at her desire for him.
But his smile vanished away as she bit him and entered her tongue in his mouth. They started playing a game only these two seemed to know and Shloks Hand touched her Waist to pull her closer. Aastha moaned in pleasure and she tried to undress him but he jerked away and tried to control his breath.
Usually his tiny little wife was pretty shy in bed but since she knew she was pregnant she had turn into a wild tigress which could not get enough of him. To his pleasure of course, he enjoyed her wild side.
,, Aastha I will hate myself for saying that but we really need to go down else everybody will stand infront of our door and I want be in a position to answer them."
He kissed her forehead and took her hand. She smiled.
,, Sorry Baby, I just can't control myself when I am with you." She said naughtily.
He laughed and together they walked down to share the good News.
Everybody was gathered in the Living room listening to Kavya and what she had to say about her school day. When Shlok and Aastha stood infront of their family, they saw the surprised faces. After weeks they finally seemed to be happy again.
Much to the dismay of Niranjan Agnihotri. He knew which effect Aasthas Love had on his son and that he changed into someone who wasn't like him at all.
,, Shlok Kya Hua? Is everything alright?" Varad approached and looked at his younger Brother and his Sister in Law. He had witnessed their fights over the past weeks and was much more than just happy to see them holding hands.
Shlok smiled. ,, Haan Dada Everything is alright. Actually more than Alright. I have to announce something very important."
Kavya ran to her Chachu and he picked her up;kissing her cheeks.
,,What is it Chachu?" she asked and Aastha blushed.
,, Well dear your Chachi and I are having a Baby. That means in a few month you will have someone to play with."
Kavya clapped in her Hands and kissed her Chachu.
The others were stunned by his revelation.
Did that mean...Aastha was pregnant?
,,Shlok...Aastha... Is that true? You are having a Baby?" Varad asked and Shlok and Aastha nodded. Everyone clapped and congratulated them on their good News.
For the first Time Anjali smiled and gave everyone Prasad and blessed Aastha.
Shlok just looked at his Father and waited for his reaction.
He could deal with his mother when she was rude or mean but not when she was nice. Because then he would only get reminded of the fact that he used to love his Mother more than everything but he could never forget her.
Niranjan smiled and hugged his son. At least he pretended to be happy for his sons happiness. He wanted a grandson and he was sure Shlok would make sure of it.
,, Shlok. Today you made me so happy. Tell me what do you wish for? I will give you everything after sharing these wonderful news with us. Never ever after that Swati Girl did I thought I would hear you saying you would become a father. Thank you my son for making us so happy." He hugged Shlok again and then went closer to Aastha.
Aastha immediately moved a few inches away which was noticed by Shlok.
,, Beta thank you for giving us the good News finally..." His smile didn't reach his eyes and Aastha looked down;suddenly feeling unwell.
Sojal tried hard to swallow her anger. She too wanted to have another child but her useless Husband was happy with his little girl. Of course Sojal loved her daughter but she needed a Son to gain a higher position in this family. Her Mother in Law always taunted her for having a girl. She hated Aastha even more now because there was a high chance that she could have a boy, a heir.
,,Baba... Can I ask you a favor?" Shlok looked at Aastha while speaking- he had noticed her discomfort.
,,Everything my dear Son."
,, I want to go out with Aastha. She needs some fresh air and please she should not do many household chores. "
Niranjan tried to smile and looked at his Wife. Automatically Anjali came closer and said: ,,What nonsense! Just because she is pregnant doesn't mean she is allowed to relax. She needs to do her chores, understood?".
Shlok looked at her in disbelief and turned to his Father.
,, Anjali what are you saying? She needs to rest." Anjali nodded and hid her pain. She was always the one to blame so her husband could keep his Face infront of his children. Shlok sighed in relieve and smiled.
,, Shlok I bet you are the happiest Man alive right know?" said his Uncle and laughed. Everyone joined him and Shlok smiled.
It was true he was happy. Happier then he ever thought he would be.
He had a wonderful Wife, a child on his way, his business better than ever. Shlok had everything a Man dreamed of but it was more that he had ever expected to get. After Swati he didn't dare to dream about Love and Happiness but then Aastha came into his Life. She changed everything and made him believe in Love again. If Shlok was honest since the beginning he kind of felt an attraction towards her which he excused with his hate for insulting his baba. But quietly and slowly she hade made a place in his heart and didn't leave him. Everything he had down was to make sure she would be his;only his.
And suddenly while looked at her face he realized wouldn't she really love him she would have left the day he declared he hated her but no...his tiny little wife decided to fight- to fight for their Love. He knew didn't deserve her Love but still she loved him and wanted him and he fell even more in Love with her.
