Chapter 12
The Love I don't deserve
Please pick up! Please!" Aastha was constantly crying and tried calling Shlok but his phone was out of reach. She needed to tell him in person what happened else he would feel cheated on,
And wouldn't he be right? She cheated on him...even though unwillingly.
"Ma'am we arrived." The taxi driver said and she paid him. Aastha didn't even wait for the man to give her , her return money she ran inside the Agnihotri Educational Trust building and hoped Shlok would listen. Aastha was shaking and asked Shlok's PA to tell him that she wanted to see him right now.
"Mr. Agnihotri your wife is here. She wants to meet you and to be honest she looks a little bit pale."
Shlok's assistant walked in and brought in a teary eyed Aastha. She immediately hugged Shlok and began crying.
"Anand you can leave." He said to his assistant and as soon as he left he pulled Aastha a bit away to look into her face. She looked everywhere but in his eyes. Something was terribly wrong he knew it the moment she started crying. What happened to make her that emotional?
"Aastha, Look at me."
Aastha finally looked up to him and started kissing him passionately. He responded automatically and she pushed him on the sofa in his office. She came after him and started untying his tie. He was pleasantly shocked but knew why she initiated the love making: She was afraid and vulnerable.
"Aastha..."Shloks voice was soft abd brought her back to her senses. She blushed and he pulled her into his arms. He kept hugging her for a while; caressing her hair.
"Talk to me. Kya Hua? What is wrong? Did something happen? Or is that the Pregnancy?"
"Wooh...Karan...He...We..We were talking and had fun and relived our childhood when he suddenly tried to.."Her eyes darted away and she didn't know how to say what she wanted to. How could she explain to him that some other men, someone she consider her friend broke her trust and kissed her? How could she tell him that she kissed someone else despite him?
"When he tried what?" Shlok asked with anger visible in his voice. He could only guess what Karan could have done and he prayed to God his Guess would turn out to be false btu seeing his wife's state he was sure that bas***d did something unforgiveable.
"He tried kissing me..."
"Did he succeed? Did he kiss you and if yes why didn't you stop him?"
"I tried but..."
"But what?" Shlok stood up and started to throw everything around. Aastha held her abdomen in shock. She knew he would be mad but this mad?
"Tell me Aastha. Did you like it? Was it good? I bet it was since he was your first Love. Tell me did you go all the way with him despite being pregnant with my child? Did you finally fulfill one of your wishes: Kissing your Ex-Lover? Hmm? Come on tell me dammit!" He yelled and grabbed her forearms. She winced in pain and looked at him in utter disbelief. How could he manhandle her? How could he accuse her of sleeping with someone else or loving someone else?
"Do you really think I could do that? Kiss someone else? Or sleep with someone else? Did you really think that low of me? Does our Love mean nothing to you or our Baby?" She wanted to cry; cry for her bitter fate but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her weak. In the end he would believe he was right and she was regretting.
"Oh ho stop this Drama. I bet you regret marrying me hain na? If you want you can go back to your Lover. I won't mind." He pushed her away and she stumbled and fell on the floor.
Aastha couldn't believe that he really pushed her even though knowing that she was pregnant. She was hurt beyond imaginary and all she wanted was to rest and to be away from him and his accusation. Shlok suddenly realized what he just did and tried helping her up but she refused his help. He could see her pain in her eyes and for the first Time during their conversation regretting for speaking like that with her.
"I am sorry..." He heard himself saying and tried to hug her but she pushed him away gently but also firmly. She couldn't bear his touch right now, she needed time to think.
"I don't care. I will leave now we can talk as soon as you realized what you just have said to me." Aastha stormed out the office, leaving a dejected Shlok behind.

" Did you do what I asked you to do?" Niranjan asked and looked at the framed wedding picture of his Son and his daughter in law. After hearing the answer from the caller he smiled to himself.
"Thank you. One last thing: Did you send the pictures to my Son?Yes? Alright. Bye"
Anjali heard the conversation but could find any rational reasons for her Husband's happiness. What did the caller do to make her husband smile? And what photos were they talking about?
Did he again plan something to separate Shlok and Aastha? She needed to find out what was going on.

"Beta? Are you alright?" Kalindi turned to her daughter who was sitting on her bed. She wasn't looking happy; her hands constantly caressing her abdomen. Kalindi was happily shocked to see how far her Daughter was in her pregnancy. Soon she would hold her first grandchild in her hands. That Thought immediately causer her mood to get better.
"Haan Aayi. I am fine...I guess." Aastha looked at her Mother and smiled under tears that fell unchecked on her cheeks. How could she tell her mother that the man she adored was the cause for a major misunderstanding in her fragile marriage? She would feel responsible for encouraging Karan in proposing Aastha. If she would only knew what he had done Aastha thought sadly and looked at herself in the mirror. Her Eyes were red and swallowed and she looked pale. The only color in her face was the Sindoor which she carefully wiped away. She didn't feel worthy of it anymore.
Somehow Aastha felt ruined, how could Karan just kiss her like that= He knew how much she loved Shlok and even though she wasn't at fault she felt like she cheated on Shlok. She didn't feel pure and innocent anymore just because of a mere Kiss.
"Aastha you are the worst Liar on this world. Tell me what is wrong with you? Did you and Shlok have a fight?"
"Nothing Aayi...I am just very tired and... I would like to stay here for a while. " Aastha closed her eyes. It was evening now and Shlok hadn't called her once. She would bet her life that he was drinking somewhere to drown his pain.
Kalindi looked at her daughter and suddenly had a bad feeling. She was sad and something bothered her but she wasn't ready yet to talk about it. She caressed her hair and sat beside her.
"Do you need a Hug dear? Sometimes a hug can do more than a thousand words. I know something is bothering you but you don't want me to be sad- What about sharing that pain?"
Aastha started crying and hugged her mother tightly. She felt a lot better, somehow she felt that there was more to come but for now she could just share her pain silently with her mother.
"Sir your drink" The waiter handed Shlok another drink. He was still fuming with anger. How dare that bas***d Karan kiss his wife, his Aastha? Shlok literally was seeing red and was afraid what he could do to Aastha in his anger. He wanted o beat Karan blue and black for what he has done!
"Sir there is a letter for you." Shlok turned around to see what his assistant was talking about. He handed him envelope and left as silently as he came in. Confused Shlok opened the envelope and a handful of photograph fell on the table. Photos of Aastha and Karan. Both were laughing and hugging each other. One photo showed her kissing his cheek and holding his hand smiling into his Face. Karan smiling at Aastha and kissing her while her eyes were closed. Shlok felt like throwing up. Did Aastha lie to him about the Kiss being unwanted by her?
There was a note too stating: "Looks like your wife isn't as innocent as you thought".
He turned the note around. No name, nothing.
Shlok wasn't sure whether to believe Aastha or this note? Could he just judge her by the content of this photographs? Shouldn't he give her the chance to speak and to explain herself? Should he believe what he just had seen or should he believe his wife, the woman that never lied to him, the woman that never hided anything from him?

"Aastha?" A soft Voice woke her up and she opened her eyes with great difficulties. She felt someone caressing her cheeks and instantly knew who it was. Her body would always recognize his touch.
"Shlok.." she whispered and he switched on the light. Shlok was still wearing his suit and she could smell the alcohol even before he kissed her. Angry with him Aastha pushed him lightly away.
"You are drunk" She hissed and sat up straight. He had to help her a little since her stomach was in the way.
"Yes I am wifey and that because of you. I saw what happened between you and Karan. It didn't look like you were against him touching you." She looked at him blankly; hearing these words felt like someone stabbed her in her heart.
"Did you just accuse me of infidelity?"
The silence between them could have killed anyone. That could have been one of the worst things he had ever said to her.
"No..."He stumbled"No I-I am just a little drunk and confused. Aastha I have seen pictures and it looked like you liked it." He closed his eyes in pain but this time Aastha did not care that he was in pain. He had hurt her self-respect in the most terrible way: by questioning her character and her fidelity.
"I don't care that you are drunk and I don't care what you think you saw but what I care about is my self-respect. You hurt me a lot Shlok with what you said in the office and now again. I never thought you would fall that lover. And just for your Kind information: I never would cheat on you since I never even could think of another man the way I think about you, feel about you."
She looked into his eyes and he could see her pain, her honesty which his drunken mind failed to recognize. He wanted to say something but he didn't know what.
"You are my Husband Shlok, my everything and the father of my child so why would I cheat on you? You just proved that you don't trust me or my Love even after everything we have been through, after everything you made me go through and still I accepted you open heartedly." Her voice broke away and he saw her trying to swallow her tears away. He knew she didn't want him to see her broken state because even after accusing her she still did not wanted to see him in pain.
He tried to touch her face but she jerked his hands away. His drunken self-got angry at her rejection and he forcefully kissed her. She protested and tried to free herself.
"Shlok! You are hurting me please stop." But he didn't hear her. He started tearing off her clothes and kissed her jawline, her neck and the base of her throat. Aastha stiffened and couldn't understand how he would be able to force himself on her so she let him have his way. She closed her eyes and the sobs that cracked through her body were noticed by him. Suddenly Shlok was aware of what he was almost about to do: He almost had raped his own wife, his pregnant wife. He stood up and covered her semi naked body with a duvet. His eyes didn't meet her.
"I..." He started but did not know how to end. How could be do something like that to her? How could he not respect her rejection, her will? What was wrong with me, he thought bitterly and turned away. Shlok felt the tears on his cheeks and wiped them away angrily. Aastha failed to see his tears and just said in a shivering tone:" Just leave. Please I can't see your face right know. We can talk tomorrow when you are sober but not now and definitely not like this." Aastha was still shivering while putting back on her Night gown. For the first Time she detested his touch on her skin, his lips on her neck. He had insulted this part of their relationship badly and Aastha felt like throwing up remembering the way he had kissed her forcefully.
"I am sorry Aastha." Shlok left because he knew he had done the unthinkable and that both of them needed Time. A lot of Time. Suddenly he Realized that He did not deserve her Love.
