Astha... Shlok spoke hesitatingly... I want to marry Astha... I love her very much...
What? Avdhoot was shocked...handing him cheque forcefully with anger into his hand...ab to main ye paise bilkul bhi nahi rakh sakta...he spoke looking towards kalindi...
But uncle..I... Shlok tried to complete...
Main apne damaad se paise kaise le sakta hun ? Avdhoot smiled as well kalindi...
Ji? Shlok was shocked...
Kalindi told me about you and Astha...I am happy she got a boy like you in her life, who stands by her through all thick and thin... Avdhoot smiled...
Thanks Uncle...Shlok smiled too...
But beta, before that, we need to talk to your family too. What are their views... Kalindi spoke...
Aunti...i... Shlok hesitatingly spoke... I want to clear..i have just Astha as my family or my friends...Varun and Gauri... Agnihotri are my parents who give me everything, pay for me...but... I am never with them...
But they are your parents' beta, you need their permission too and they should be there ... Avdhoot spoke...
They will be, don't worry about them... Shlok smiled...
Ok, you may talk to them, then the things may be finalized... Avdhoot spoke... but marriage will be next year after July only when your study will be complete...
Yes Uncle, definitely. Marriage will be only after our study complete and I will join business... Thanks a lot uncle... He smiled...when Avdhoot looked at the gate. It was Astha standing there blushing listening the conversation... As they all saw them, she went away from there smiling...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Astha was smiling to herself lightening diya on the roof thinking about Shlok's marriage proposal...
When Kalindi came there...
Astha...
Ji ayii... She looked at her mother smiling...
Tum khush to ho na beta? I know, you love him very much,, you are going to live your life with him...
Astha blushed and hugged her mother...Kalindi too smiled hugging her...
Astha, mujhe tumse kuch aur baat karni thi..kalindi spoke hesitatingly...
Ji ayii...itna soch kyon rhi hain ap? Kahiye na... Astha held her ayii's hands..
Beta, wo... actually I wanted to say... it's a lot time for your and Shlok's marriage and you are already together... Yu know what I mean... What if anything goes wrong... jise hamari society allow na kare...
Ayii... You trust me na? Astha held her hands...I promise, there has been nothing so between us till now...
And I promise...nothing will go wrong till marriage aunti...shlok spoke politely coming there... We will never break your trust...Esa kuch nahi hoga, jiske kaaran aap logon ko sharminda hone pade...
Ayii... Kalindi smiled... aaj se tum mujhe ayii khaoge... She left Astha's hands...When Shlok held her hands...
So ayii, you should also trust to your children... and moreover you should be proud of your parenting... Astha can never let you feel down, she can make you proud only... Shlok smiled looking at Astha... Who has smile as well as a tear in her eye...
Listening Kalindi caressed them booth leaving them there... When Shlok moved to Astha cupping her face removed tear from her eye with his thumb... No more tears in your eyes... Mrs. Shlok Agnihotri... He spoke naughtily... To which Astha blushed and turned her face to be just pulled by Shlok into his arms...
So how did you like my surprise? Shlok spoke her from back placing his face on her shoulder...
It was shocking...I didn't expect so early from you...Astha smiled...
So, you were thinking I will wait for years to listen from you...No Astha...you are my life and I don't want to waste a single day of my life without you... The day, I join office, very next day, we will be married and then you will be mine...forever... he spoke placing small wet kisses on her neck...
Aahaan? Shlok, remember your promise to ayii just now...Astha tried to push him...
Ya, I remember the promise jaan, and will remember... He spoke huskily in her placing a kiss on her earlobe...but these seven months are going to be like seven births for me...
So let's go down, ayii baba will be waiting for us for Puja...Shlok spoke removing his hands from Astha moving ahead...
Shlok... Astha held shlok's hand...
Humm...he turned back...
Astha moved closer to him holding his both hands... I... I Love you... I love you more than my life...an di will love you and only you forever...saying Astha kissed shlok's lips...
A smile appeared on shlok's face taking her into his arms for hug...he held her hand a put a ring on her ring finger...
Astha was shocked as well as surprised on seeing it... how? I mean you were carrying it with you?
Yes...it was always with me since I told how much I love you... I was waiting for the day you will speak to me...
Listening Astha hugged Shlok tightly...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Six Months Later...
Shlok... Atleast listen to me yaar...Astha was pleading...
Astha, why do you bother me so much? I have told you once na that too two months before... I can't be with you anymore...just stay away from my life...Everything is finished...Shlok was shouting at Astha while Varun and Gauri were standing there almost in tears looking at them...
Shlok, I know, you don't want it... Astha caressed his face. But atleast tell me, why are you doing all this...
Because I don't love you anymore... Shlok shouted turning away from her... I don't need you in my life now...
And what about our dreams? We had seen together about our future...
Those were just dreams Astha...can never be fulfilled... So better for you just complete your study and go away from here... that would be best for you... I can't tolerate you anymore in my life... It's just two more months... till our exams... After that it would be better never show my face... saying Shlok left from there banging door at her...
Astha...please.. Gauri moved further... control yourself...
No Gauri. Astha held her hand... I am not weeping, you know in last two months, I didn't cry even once for shlok's behavior and i will not... I am just trying to know, why Shlok is doing all this. He is doing everything for some purpose...Varun, can't you tell, why all this is happening? Even you have shifted at his flat from hostel these days...
N..no Astha, its nothing so...actually he was feeling alone these days as he doesn't see you even... As you are our friend, he is also...due to you people misunderstanding's, we can't leave him even...
Ya, Astha nodded in yes...I can understand... Anyways... I wanted to tell him... I am going for conference of Management in Banglore for one week. You know I am the only one who has been selected from our college... I just wanted to see him, to talk to him... that I have...Astha smiled... Take care of him till I come...
Astha, you have been trying continuously since last two months to make up with him... Gauri spoke hesitatingly... when he is not interested anymore...why don't you move back?
Gauri? Astha was shocked on listening... You and Varun are together since last five years... Didn't' any misunderstandings ever occur between you two? Then could you leave each other?
Astha, but here is different case... Varun tried to make her understand... He doesn't want to see your face even... he has told you directly two months before... Then why?
First of all, you two clear me, why are you trying to convince me that we can't be together again...I will try to make up with him...I will try till my last breath...I had promised Shlok...we will be together since our last breath and we will be... Astha spoke... No matter what circumstances are...or atleast he may tell why he broke up with me? He didn't give me a single reason for asking me to move out of his life...or there is something that you two know and I don't... Astha looked at them suspiciously...
N..nn...no Astha...there is nothing so .. Gauri stammered...
Ok Varun, will you drop me to Airport? I am getting late... Saying she went to her room...While Varun and Gauri had tears in their eyes when Varun wiped Gauri's tears and hugged her...don't worry Gauri, everything will be fine...
Will there be? Gauri asked looking ta varun's eyes...
A tear too dropped from varun's eye... Gauri wiped that tear... Don't give false hope to yourself Varun... we both know, nothing can be fine... we can't help them in anyway...only thing we can do is... we may send Astha back to Pune as soon as exams are over and make everything easy for Shlok...
While Shlok was standing at the door listening everything and wiping his continuously flowing tears from his eyes... I am sorry Astha... I too love you very much and will Love you till last breath of my life...I am doing everything just for your wellness stupid...you will understand soon...
Thrill chaiye tha na, suspense chahiye tha...ab bhugto... and guesses are most welcome..yet i am sure you may get closer but can't imagine future track...
