Chapter 6(A)
,,Shlok I feel like having Dinner. I am starving." Aastha said and turned away from Shlok to get dressed. He stopped her and she laid down back on the bed. Shlok stoop up, got dressed and brought something to eat. After their love making both of them were starving and needed some energy to maybe continue later. Shlok smiled and asked Sita to prepare two plates- He would like to eat in his room.
Niranjan passed by and greeted Shlok.
,, Son? You are here?"
Shlok felt like caught red handed and bend down to take blessings. His Father controlled his anger. Seems like that dumb called wasn't as dumb as he thought.
,, Haan Baba Who...Aastha didn't want to be alone so I decided to stay with her today."
,,Shlok It is good that you want to spend time with your Family, your wife but no one else can take care of our business the way you do. I don't want you to forget that."
Shlok stayed mum. His Father was right, he was the only one who took care of their Institute because it mattered to his Father but for Shlok Aastha was far more important. He didn't want to upset his father so he just nodded.
Niranjan smiled thinking he won over Aastha and left to talk with his Wife.
,,ANJALI" he entered their Room and pulled her close to his Body.
She was shaking in fear and looked into his eyes.
What went wrong? Why did he become the man he is today? Anjali thought while her Husband pushed her on the floor, causing her to fall against the bed.
She whined in pain and asked what she had done wrong.
,, You still ask me! It seems like you are losing control Anjali. Do you know what I just witnessed with my own eyes? My Son! My Shlok! Taking care of his wife as if he is her servant. He didn't even go to office. You need to control your Daughter in law better else I will show her , her real place in this house. Understood?" He went inside the bathroom to take a Shower. Niranjan wasn't a man to admit his loss but he knew if he would not do anything soon he could lose his son.
Shlok was still thinking about his Father and how he controlled his Anger. It was visible that his father did not like the Idea of Shlok taking care of Aastha.
But Why? Why would Baba be angry? Wasn't he the own who asked me to be with Aastha? Shlok thought and entered his Bedroom.
Their Bed was made and Aastha stood in front of the dressing table, talking on the phone. He admired her for a second and she smiled at him when she saw him.
,,Yes Mom I wanted to tell you that I am pregnant! ...Yes...Yes in my 2nd Month I did not know I was pregnant crazy right? ...Yes Shlok takes care of me and he is so happy...yes of course. No I am fine now I fainted due low sugar level but don't worry Shlok is with me...Yes." Aastha put on some bangles and wiped her Hair on one side of her Shoulder. Her Backless Nightdress showed her bare back and Shlok smiled seeing the love bites he had left their. It made him proud to think that he had marked her as his forever. Aastha stood up and looked at the food.
Well done she whisperd and said in the next Moment: ,, Ayi ? We will talk later ok? I will visit you soon with Shlok and then I will stay a couple of days." She hung up and sat down to look at the food he brought. He sat next to her and fed her with his own hands. Aastha smiled and they finished the food he brought within a few minutes.
,, That was so good." She kissed him. ,, Thanks."
Shlok pulled Aastha closer and caressed her arms. She smiled at closed her eyes.
,, Aastha...?"
,,Yes?"
,, I just met Baba."
Aastha looked up and tried to understand why he was telling her that.
,, So?"
,, He seemed angry... but maybe I am overreacting."
,, Why should he be angry?" Aastha asked and stood up. She didn't want him to see what she was thinking and feeling.
,, Well...because I stayed at home for you. He made it very clear but I wonder why?" Shlok was more talking to himself than to his Wife. What could she say? He wouldn't see the truth so Aastha decided just to listen and to do nothing. She needed to gather some more proofs before approaching Shlok again.
Shlok too stood up and was about to enter the bathroom as he saw Aastha slipping over her sandals. He got hold of her and carried her to the bed.
,,Are you alright?" he asked.
Aastha nodded her Head. ,, I knew you would catch me" she said teasingly.
,,Aastha!" He roared and Aastha became quiet. He was angry great.
She didn't dare to look him in the eyes because she knew he would start his lecture soon- her loveable patidev was overprotective.
,, Shlok you are too overprotective! Nothing happened I just slipped you know me very well. That happens sometimes then why are you getting angry?"
He sat beside her and caressed her face. She pouted.
,, Aastha you know me. I am always concerned when it has something to do with you."
He kissed her forehead causing her to smile. Shlok was too sweet to handle.
,, I must admit..:" she said while looking into his eyes. ,, I am somehow enjoying your extra care. It is a good feeling to be loved you know...".
Shlok laughed and kissed his little wife.
,, So what is wrong in me being overprotective?"
,, Nothing but that can change very fast." She smiled.
,,Aastha I am just afraid you could lose the baby.." He looked said even thinking of it.
Aastha knew he was right, she knew how easily she could lose a baby because it had happened before. That wasn't her first pregnancy, 2 weeks after their first Night Aastha discovered that she was carrying his child. When she tried to share with him the good News she met with a minor accident causing her to lose the child.
No one knew she had a miscarriage not even Shlok. He would have felt bad.
,,Are you angry?" she asked and tried to cuddle him. He looked away and nodded.
So he was angry after all!
,, Can I do something about it?"
He shoke his head. Aastha got frustrated how could she pacify him?
,,Are you sure?" She asked and sat on his lap. Her lips found his and they kissed each other softly.
,,Aastha.." he warned her and pushed her slightly away.
Both were quiet for a while until Shlok put his hand on her stomach and caressed her.
,, Are you as happy as me?" He asked.
She was confused. What kind of question was that?
,, Of Course I am why shouldn't I be?"
,, You look like someone who got the same Surprise twice." He saw her becoming rigid.
Did he knew about her miscarriage? No how could he? Now one knew about it except her and her doctor.
,, Shlok I am really happy. We are having a baby- so how can I be not happy?"
He wasn't convinced but decided to let it be. She would share her real thoughts pretty soon.
