It was Sunday when Shlok came to Astha's home...Chachi, Astha khan hai?

Wo apne room mein hai... Kalindi smiled...come have fruits with me, she made Shlok sit on chair...you early morning? Aur ye muuh kyon utra huya hai?

Mom scolded me again, I am not going back home... Shlok made an angry face...

Ok, kalindi smiled...let's have something to eat. She tried to feed him...

But Astha, I will call her, we will have together, saying Shlok ran to Astha's room upstairs...

Where he found Astha laying angrily on bed covering her face under pillow...

Hey asthu? Shlok caressed her back..kya huya?

Humm...she made a twisted face and turned her face again under pillow giving a look to Shlok...

Baba, btao to kya huya? Itni sadi huyi kyon ho subah subah?

She grinned her teeth, picked her face angrily and spoke..tumhe kya, jayo apni ladli chachi ke pass...bus mujhe hi koi pyar nahi krta...

Par mujhe bhi koi pyar nahi karta...shlok made puppy face..today mom gain scolded me for home work...and Chachi said you something? Shlok guessed...

Hum...Astha nodded in yes with sob...she scolded me for watching cartoons in the morning...bolo subah subah bhi koi bachon ko dantta hai?

Shlok got angry listening and held her hand...Let's go and he pulled her with him to the hall downstairs...

You people have come, let's have some food...kalindi smiled looking at them...

Chichi, apne asthu ko kya kha hai? Shlok spoke angrily...

Nothing...did she say something? Kalindi smiled...

Fir se jhooth? Astha shouted...aapne kha tha ap mujhe chod ke shlok ko apna beta bna lengi... to use hi rakh lo...main to chali hi jaaungi ghar chod ke...she made a crying puppy face...

Wo to tum itni shitani kar rhi thi, aur itne cartoons? Even repeat telecasts? isi liye maine kha tha budhu... Kaalindi smiled...

Dekhaa, dekha? Mom ne fir mujhe budhu kha...she cried looking at Shlok...

Agar ap Astha ko rulayengi to main bhi apke pass nahi rahunga, Shlok spoke angrily...let's go Astha...saying he held her hand and brought her out of house...

But where are you going? Kalindi spoke worriedly...

Ghar chod ke ja rahe hain hum log...assaying Shlok ran away with Astha...

These kids are going to make me mad...Kalindi mumbled and immediately called Anjali telling her about their stupidity...

Asthu, ye dekho apna naya ghar... Shlok made her sit in the puppy house, they both had made in the garden area of Niranjan's home...

Han, ab se main yhin rhungi...main ghar nai jaungi ..tum dekh lena... She made a puppy face...

To main tunhe chod ke khan janga? Main bhi yahin rahunga tumhare sath...Shlok wrapped his arm around her shoulder sitting near her...

Lekin shlok ye ghar to chota sa hai, aur yhan to TV bhi nhi hai...hum dono yhan kise rahenge? Astha spoke thinking...

Yaaa...you are right...Shlok too spoke thinking...ok, hum esa krenge. For time being isi ghar mein rahenge...fir jab main bda ho jaunga na, aur paise bhi launga, to hum ach sa ghar bnayenge...us mein sab kuch jaisa tum chahogi , vaisa hi hog...ab khush? He spoke innocently...

Haan, aur main achi achi video games bhi launga, aur hamein koi homework karne ko bhi nhi khega yhan pe...Shlok too spoke excitedly...

Lekin main usme mom ko nahi ane dungi...wo gandhi hain, mujhe dantti rehti hain... Astha made a sad face again... Lekin Anjali chcahi ko le ayenge, wo achi hai...

Lekin wo to mujhe dantti hai...main to kalindi chachi ko launga...Shlok shrugged his shoulders...

Nahi, tum unhe mere ghar pe nahi loge...Astha pulled his hair...

Aur meri mom ko tum nahi laogi...Shlok too pulled her hair...

When Varad came there looking for them...and found them fighting badly pulling each other's hair...

Stop you two...he separated them... lekin mujhe to aane doge na apne ghr mein?

Of course bhai...ap to hmare sath hi rahoge... Astha smiled, but ab main is shloku ko bhi apne sath nahi rakhungi...huumm..She made a face...

To ghar kise banaogi uske bina? Varad smiled...

Hum... Astha made a thinking face again...and looked at Shlok... Tum mere sath rehna chahate ho?

Yes...Shlok asked pleading...

Ok on one condition...Astha spoke like a queen...

Shlok looked at her for her order...

I am feeling hungry, mujhe khana chahiye...

Ok madam...saying Shlok pretended to cook food in one corner...

Ye wala jhooth jhooth ka nahi, asli wala khana, I am really hungry bhai...she made a puppy face looking at Varad making circles on her tummy with her hand...

Ok, mom has made your favorite Noodles...Varad spoke, come with me...

But we are not going inside, Shlok spoke with anger...idhar jayo to Mom mujhe dantti hai, udhar chachi Astha ko...

Ok baba, forgive them this time, Varad smiled, next time, they will not scold you...

No...they both speak in unison...

To thik hai fir, Varad folded his hands on his chest...I am really feeling hungry, main to chla noodles khane..ab tum dono to... He left incomplete with a smile...

Ok Ok.. Astha spoke...Varad bhai this time we can forgive him...wo bhi ap keh rhe ho, is liye and you know, how much I love you...but un dono ko samjha lo, next time we will not accept their apology...Ok?

Shloku, homework kar liya? Astha spoke coming to his room...

Nup...he spoke without looking at her playing video game...

To wo kaun karega? She spoke angrily...

Tum kardo...can't you see, I am busy with my new game...

No, not at all... she chided him.

To tu kyon tension leti hai? Ja naa yhan se...saying he pushed her as she was covering his game... Astha fell on the floor as he pushed her...

She started crying and stood up, thik hai, main to yahi poochne ayi thi main homework kar deti hun, lekin ab bhugto khud hi... karna hai to karo nhi to kal punishment lena madam se...Saying she ran away from there..

Next day in the class...

Astha sat away from Shlok otherwise they used to sit together...Shlok stood up from his seated again sat with Astha but she shifted again, same thing repeated again and again till teacher came...and Astha shifted few seats away from him, now he could not do anything as teacher was standing there.

Astha looked at Shlok...he looked at with puppy face...since yesterday she had not talked to him...

but Astha showed him her injured elbow with angry eyes... he held his ears to say sorry...

Hummm...she twisted her face looking away...

When teacher announced...

Yes, show me your notebooks...teacher announced...and all who have not completed homework stand up at your seats...Astha took her notebooks from bag but she saw Shlok slowly standing as he had not completed homework...she knew teacher is going to punish Shlok...

She thought of something and put her copies back in the bag standing there...

Astha...teacher was shocked...even you didn't complete work? You are topper of the class even then?

I...i am sorry teacher...all Astha said...

Teacher was really angry toddy and she punished them to take ten rounds of the ground..

Both Astha and Shlok started taking rounds of ground..

Astha you had finished homework na? Then why? Shlok asked her...

Meri marji, tumhe kya? Astha spoke angrily... But Shlok knew, it was due to him only...he moved near her held her hand...I am sorry Astha..i am really sorry...form now onwards, I will always complete my homework and will never shout on you too...

Please forgive me this time...he held his ears with a tear in his eye...

Astha looked at him and could see pain on his face...she wiped his tears and hugged him...ok...let's take rounds otherwise wo moti teacher fir se chillyegi...Astha smiled holding his hand...

And I promise I will always complete my homework... Shlok too smiled...

humm..she twisted her face...aise fake promises to tum roz krte ho mujhse ...but jis din koi bada jhooth bola na, us din ke baad main tumhari shakal bhi nahi dekhungi...saying she started running in the ground...
