CHAPTER-2.

"Astha beta..Serve the kheer you made to your baba.."Anjali's voice reached Shlok's ears as he walked down the stairs towards the dining table for breakfast.

His eyes instantly searched for her..He found her..!

Damn!Her back is turned to me again!He cursed himself,as he walked closer..But wait she's turning..!He waited with bated breath for her to turn,so that he could finally see..

"Arey Shlok beta!Come on have a sit!Your wife made kheer for all of us today!It's yummy!"He reluctantly moved his eyes away from her and smiled at his father.

By the time,only a few seconds later,when he returned his eyes to look at her,she was gone!

Damn!He thought irritatedly..Where did she vanish so quickly to?!He could not help thinking as he sat for breakfast.

"Here..Have paratha..Your favourite.."Anjali placed paratha on his plate,as soon as he sat.

Shlok was feeling impatient for no reason at all,his eyes trying to find her..But he could not see a trace of her anywhere..He was halfway done with his breakfast when he heard it..

TINKLE..TINKLE..TINKLE..TINKLE..

It's her!She's here!He thought with illogical pleasure..His senses tuned up to her..

TINKLE..TINKLE..

She was coming towards him!He thought with jubilation..That was when his brother called out..

"Astha..Can you please serve some more of your kheer?It's really so yummy!"Instantly Shlok looked up to see her..

His brother Varad had sat beside him,and Astha was serving him on the other side..He could only see his brother..

Damn!He cursed himself again.Just then he remembered the kheer..

That way he could see her!

"Ahem.."He cleared his throat.."I'd like some kheer too.."

His words seemed to bring about a sudden stillness in the cozy atmosphere of the dining area.As he looked up carefully,he noticed everyone was staring at him wide eyed..

He nearly colored up with embarrassment at everyone's reaction.

"What's wrong?!Can't I have kheer too?Is it illegal?!"He asked in an irritated voice..His temper rose as he heard his brother's muffled laughter,and noticed his father and uncle were trying hard to keep their face straight too.

"What's..-"

"Shlok beta!You never liked kheer before.."Anjali's soft voice interrupted him..As he looked up at her with confusion,he noticed she was wearing an all knowing naughty smile too..Just behind his uncle,who sat across the table from him,his sister-in-law was trying to hide her smile too..

"Well..Ummm..I just wanted to try it.."He stammered trying to hide his embarrassment..He had completely forgotten his dislike for kheer!How could he be so stupid?!!He could not help but mentally curse himself.

"But you hate everything that contains milk in it..Especially sweets..In fact a week back you exploded in anger when an elderly relative forced you to have some.."Anjali put in still wearing that all knowing smile.

"Well..I..Umm..It was just that.."To his utter embarrassment,he could not say anything in reply to that..

The atmosphere was getting intolerable for him to stay in..He was nearly blushing like a silly teenage girl!

"Okay..Maybe you want to taste your wife's cooking,then I'm serving you some kheer.."Anjali said teasingly..

Shlok instantly stood up..

"No..No need..I'm done with my breakfast!"He declared suddenly,as he hurried out of the dining room..His face colored up as a sudden burst of laughter from all his family members followed him out of the room..

Astha watched silently as Shlok walked out of the dining room,and then could not hide her embarrassed smile as everyone started laughing,so she hurried out of the room as well..

Little do they know that Shlok does not want anything to do with me..Was her thought as she hurried out.

Astha was standing at the window overlooking the front garden, her mind playing back flashbacks of the conversations she had heard between Shlok and someone on the phone,a few days before the wedding.

"No yaar!I'm not the least bit interested in her!NO!I'm not going to see her face even!I don't want to!"

"Yes..They had given a picture of her..No.I tore it..Yes.."

"I'm marrying her just for my family..If my parents had not so wated to,I'd never have married a traditional girl like her!NO!Yes I'll marry her..For my family..Yes.."

A stunned Astha had slowly walked away..He did not even want to see her face..He did not want to marry her..He was doing it for his parents only..Just like she was..But she had given up on her dreams for her family,and was ready to accept him as her husband..But he was not ready to see her face even..

At that moment Astha had decided to call off the wedding,but then,her parents,Ajju and her to be in-laws enthusiasm and happiness stopped her..

Something in her and cried out ,asking her to fight against this unwanted marriage by both..But she just could not make herself do it..She just could not be as selfish as that..But his insulting remark of not wanting to see her face had burned a hole in her..That was when she had decided..

"Shlok Agnihotri..I won't show you my face..Not ever.."

A stray tear had fallen from her eye,which she quickly rubbed off,and set about understanding her chores and duty from her brand new mother-in-law..

Shlok was hungry..Really hungry..He had not even had lunch with everyone,due to the morning's embarrassing incident.And he could not go to the office too as he had been given an enforced holiday due to his wedding.

But now he was sure,the coast would be clear,and maybe he could sneek into the kitchen and find something to eat..

Yes..It seems no one is about..I'll just look in the fridge and..He looked back out the door one more time to check and ensure once again that no one was really about.

Just as he kept walking forward with his eyes looking behind his shoulder,he bumped into something..Something fell onto the ground with a loud clutter and a squeak followed.

Before he knew what was happening he had just caught a soft,small,feminine body in red saree in his arms..Preventing her fall onto the hard kitchen floor...
