CHAPTER-3.

Shlok stood dumb struck for a few seconds,trying to understand what had just happened..

Time seemed to stand still..For a few seconds..

Someone had fallen onto his lap he realized finally,and slowly he looked down to see whom he had just caught in his arms..

He was almost sure,he knew who it would be.

And he was right,he realized.

His eyes first fell on the hand that were holding onto his shirt collar for dear life..

TINKLE..TINKLE..

Those bangles tinkled again,as she clasped him tighter,making his heart rate increase suddenly,illogically but definitely..

The milky colored delicate hands..Perfectly soft and tender,as it seemed from afar..He could not help wondering if those delicate soft hands were as soft as it seemed to him..

Time enough for that..

The strange wayward thought passed through his brain..While at the same time his eyes slowly moved down..Slowly,as if relishing every discovery he made of the strange enigma called Astha Kirloskar,correction, now Mrs. Astha Agnihotri..

His eyes traced the green bangles,the sign of her belonging to him,he thought with a highly satisfied smug smile.

Then his eyes took in the petite form wrapped in that red saree..She felt so soft and light and perfect in his arms..She was soft like..He did not know what she was soft like,but he was loving the feel of her in his arms.

Shlok could not help but relish the strange pleasure he was getting from just holding her in his arms.

His dark eyes darkened,as they moved along her saree wrapped figure..Her heaving chest..And as if of its own accord,his hand around her waist tightened..Pulling her closer to his hard male body..

His eyes made its way to the final destination..Her face..He was almost celebrating his victory at finally being able to see her face,when all his hopes got dashed by what he saw..

Infact victory was a bit delayed,he decided,as his eyes encountered dark silky tresses of hair..The wild open tresses covered her face completely,and kept him from rejoicing his victory..

But Shlok Agnihotri had also learned not to give up so easily..Not when victory was so close..He was adamant to see her face at any cost today itself..

He was just getting ready to shift his position and free his hand to remove those silky tresses and see her face when they were interrupted..

"ASTHA!ASTHA BETI ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"Anjali Agnihotri came running to the kitchen..

Before Shlok knew what was happening,Astha had set herself down from his lap,and turned his back to him to face the concerned Anjali.

She mumbled something about being fine,and had vanished from the kitchen before Shlok knew what had happened.

An amused Anjali only added to his anger and annoyance,as for the rest of the day his brand new wife simply became invisible to him..

It was finally night again,and Shlok was strolling in his room like a caged tiger..

"DAMN!Where is she?!"He cursed himself for the upteempth time.

Finally sighing loudly,he sat on the rocking chair facing window looking onto the garden outside..

Fate worked in strange ways..He could not help but think..He,Shlok agnihotri was now awaiting the arrival of his one day old wife..It really was strange..

Shlok Agnohotri the renowned and most eligible bachelor of Indian Times was now waiting like a lovelorn idiot,just to see his wife's face..

The face he had not wanted to see so arrogantly,he remembered suddenly..

A strange emotion passed through his body..

It was as if fate was now mocking him by not letting him see the self same face,he had so arrogantly declared he never wanted to see.

He did not know why he was so desperate to see her face now..But it was as if some strange strings were pulling at him,and asking him to do so..It was as if there was no way out of it..

"What is it about you Astha..?What is it..?"He murmured thoughtfully,leaning against the back of his rocking chair..

He was just about to close his eyes,when he saw it..

Frowning he squinted his eyes,and looked harder,when he saw it again..He was right!He had not been wrong the first time..

Without further thought,he ran downstairs..

It was a full moon night..The fragrances of rose and jasmine,scented the air of the garden,but Shlok was unmindful to it..His attention was fixed somewhere else completely..

He walked across some more bushes,when he saw the shadow again..It was still a few feet away,when he stopped..

"Dil hai chhota sa chhotee see aasha

Mastee bhare mann kee bholee see aasha

Chaand taaro ko chhune kee aasha

Aasmaan me udane kee aasha.."

The shadow was singing in a very familiar voice..It was no one other than his wife..!The realization hit him hard..

What an enigma she really is..!There I'm expecting her to come to the room,and here she is..He could not stop himself from thinking.

A smile came across his lips,when she seemed to vanish out of his sight..

Squinting ,as his eyes tried to adapt to the lights and shadows of the moonlit garden,he looked into the bushes,not sure where she had vanished into,when from somewhere at his left he heard the soft musical voice again..

"Mehak jaau mai aaj toh aise

Phul bagiya me mehke hain jaise

Baadalo kee mai odhu chunariya

Jhum jaau mai banake baavariya

Apanee chhotee me baandh lu duniya.."

Shlok could not help but smile again..

So that was what she wanted..He could not help thinking..

His little wife,was truly..

She was gone again!

"Now where did she go..?!"He cursed himself..

He looked around frantically,but all he could see was bushes and rose plants,and a saree aanchal blowing in the wind..

She had stopped singing he realized as he walked closer to her..He suddenly missed her beautiful soft voice..

He was now only a few steps behind her petite form..Her shadow fell behind her,as she stood looking up at the moon..

Shlok stopped for a moment..

From where he stood,he could see her shadowy profile only,which was covered by her open long tresses..

A few steps and he would see that mysterious face..The face everyone seemed to have praised so much..

TINKLE..TINKLE..

Shlok smiled again..He was loving the sound of those bangles..

She was so close now..

Shlok did not think twice,as his hands encircled her waist from behind and pulled her close up against his hard body..

A soft gasp escaped her lips,but strangely she did not scream,as any normal girl would have done so..

"I don't think it's safe..to walk around in the garden..alone..so late..at night..Mrs. Agnihotri.."He whispered huskily into her ears..
