TODAY SHLOK'S QUESTION TO ASTHA ABOUT TRUSTING HER BABA BLINDLY ...SHLOK'S DRUNKEN CONFESSION OF LOVE TO ASTHA EVEN THOUGH SHLOK THOUGHT ASTHA WAS WRONG ACCORDING TO SHLOK'S POV ...AND SHLOK'S DREAM OF ASTHA'S UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER TO SHLOK WITH LOVE AND TRUST TOO...IIN THE MATTER OF BABA ESPECIALLY ...SEEMED TO CLEARLY STATE SHLOK'S POINT OF VIEW TO ASTHA ...ABOUT HIS BABA AND... SHLOK HIMSELF TOO MAYBE ::::::::::WHICH ASTHA HERSELF SEEMED TO DO FOR HER OWN BABA ...WHEN SHLOK HAD SHOWN PROOFS THAT HER BABA WAS WRONG ...ASTHA NOT ONLY GAVE IN TO SHLOK...BUT HAD ALSO ASKED SHLOK TO DESTROY THE PROOFS AGAINST HER BABA ...FOR WHICH HE COULD HAVE BEEN PUBLICALY HUMILIATED AND GONE TO JAIL TOO ...SHOWING THAT ASTHA WOULD DO THE SAME FOR HER BABA ...JUST AS SHLOK WAS DOING TO HIS BABA TOO .. BLINDLY ...OR CONSCIOUSLY. ...WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION ::::::: JUST AS ASTHA SAID WOULD LOVE SHLOK MORE... WHEN WRONG...TO BRING HIM BACK TO THE RIGHT PATH::::
WELL IF YESTERDAY SHLOK ...WHO LOVED AND WAS MISSING ASTHA VERY MUCH . ... FOUND OUT THAT ASTHA IS NOT GOING TO SURRENDER TO HIM WITH LOVE ... EASILY ...EK BAAR PHIR... BECAUSE SHLOK HIMSELF WAS MISSING ASTHA TO HIS CORE AS ASTHA HAD BECOME HIS LIFE...AND SO DREAMT THAT ASTHA HERSELF HAD COME TO SURRENDER TO HIM ...BECAUSE ASTHA ALSO COULD NOT STAY AWAY FROM SHLOK EVEN FOR A MINUTE ...AND ALSO REALISED THAT WITHOUT THEIR LOVE TOGETHER EVERYTHING ELSE WAS A WASTE ... AND SO ACCEPTED HER MISTAKES AS WELL AS TO TRUST SHLOK'S TRUST IN THE MATTER OF BABA ...NEVER TO SPEAK ILL OR GO AGAINST BABA IN ANYWAY AS WHOEVER WENT AGAINST BABA WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BECOME SHLOK'S ENEMY TOO ...CLEARLY STATING SHLOK'S... POV ...OF BABA'S PLACE IN HIS LIFE AS WELL AS ASTHA'S PLACE IN HIS HEART TOO...GOD LIKE BABA WITH LOVING DEVOTION AND ABOVE ALL IN SUBMISSION ...AND ASTHA WITH LOVE AND HIS LIFE TOO WHO SHLOK COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT AT ALL AS HIS WIFE AND LOVER . ...BOTH SEEMED TO BE IMPORTANT TO SHLOK ...WHOM SHLOK LOVED VERY MUCH ...
Shlok's drunken confession to astha that ...shlok loved astha very much and couldn't stop himself from loving astha or living without her for even a second ...EVEN THOUGH SHLOK THOUGHT ASTHA WAS WRONG ...IN HIS POV...AS ASTHA HAD PUBLICALY HUMILIATED BABA AND SHLOK TOO...DRAGGING THEIR FAMILY NAME AND IMAGE IN MEDIA THROUGH MEDIA MANY TIMES ... .BROKEN HER PROMISES TO SHLOK MANY TIMES ...AND GOING AGAINST DEAR BABA NOW WHICH RESULTED IN DIVISION OF SHLOK'S HOUSE AND FAMILY ...TO WHICH SHLOK SEEMED TO GIVE A LOT OF IMPORTANCE ...WAS IN A WAY ...SHLOK ALSO STATING CLEARLY ...THAT SHLOK WILL LOVE BABA TOO WITH COMPLETE LOVE AND DEVOTION. ...WHETHER GOOD OR BAD ...ONLY TILL WHEN WILL SHLOK AGNIHOTRI WILL HOLD ON TO HIS LOVE AND DEVOTION TO BOTH ASTHA AND BABA IS ...UNCERTAIN. ...
AND WHAT SHLOK WILL DO ...IF TRUTH IS REVEALED...OR BOTH BABA ...AND ESPECIALLY BIWI'S SITUATION WILL BE ...IF SHLOK AGNIHOTRI ...STRIKES BACK ...AT ASTHA OR BABA BOTH ...OR EVEN MOTHER ANJALI ESPECIALLY FOR KEEPING HIM IN THE DARK ...AND PLAYING WITH HIS LIFE INSTEAD OF SAVING HIM OR HELPING HIM AS SHLOK ALREADY HATES HER FOR BETRAYING HIS TRUST AND LOVE EVEN THOUGH LOVES HER TOO VERY MUCH ...FOR PLAYING WITH HIS FEELINGS AND HEART ...!!!!!??????.. ..WITH LOVE ...
SHLOK SEEMS NOT TO KNOW BABA'S BLOCKING OF MONEY TO ANJALI AND ASTHA. ..AS ASTHA TOO HAS NOT INFORMED SHLOK ABOUT THE MATTER ...WHICH SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE FIRST TO SEE IF SHLOK COULD OR WOULD HAVE HELPED HER AND ANJALI IN ANYWAY ...AND MAYBE SHLOK HIMSELF WOULD NOT HELP ASTHA ...AS HE TOO LIKE BABA WANTS HIS BIWI ASTHA BACK WITH HIM IN ANYWAY ...BUT ATLEAST ASTHA SHOULD HAVE TRIED FIRST TO TALK TO SHLOK ...AND THEN TAKEN PROPER ACTION ...INSTEAD OF TAKING ANJALI TO THE OFFICE WITHOUT EVEN INFORMING SHLOK ABOUT IT ...AND RESOLVING THE MATTER AT HOME ...ITSELF ... OR ...
SHLOK NOW SEEMED TO BE SLOWLY BECOMING DEPRESSED BY BOTH BABA AND ASTHA TOO ...AS SHLOK NOW WAS NOT RESPONDING TO BABA AS BEFORE WITH LOVE AND CARE BUT INSTEAD SEEMED TO BE WITHDRAWN FROM BABA TOO... AS SHLOK DIDN'T PICK UP ASTHA'S ANKLET WHICH FELL FROM HIS HANDS...AS NOW SHLOK REALISED THAT ASTHA MAY NOT COME EASILY TO HIM THIS TIME ...AND SO SHLOK MAY NOT ONLY DISTANCE HIMSELF EMOTIONALLY FROM ASTHA SLOWLY BUT MAYBE START GOING AGAINST ASTHA HIMSELF . ...AND MAY BREAK THE RELATIONSHIP TOO INTO TWO...AS SHLOK DID TO THE PAPER BY TEARING IT INTO TWO ...BECAUSE ASTHA HAD FOUGHT AND USED HER HALF RIGHTS AND DIVISION AGAINST SHLOK FOR THE PAPER INSTEAD OF GIVING IN TO SHLOK ...AS SHLOK HAD ASKED ASTHA THAT HE WILL READ IT FIRST AND GIVE IT TO HER FOR READING ... OR ASKING SHLOK WITH LOVE ...WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE SHLOK GIVE IT TO ASTHA AS WHOLE AS SHLOK ALWAYS GAVE INTO ASTHA ...EVEN AT THE COST OF HIS LIFE MANY TIMES . ...INSTEAD OF SHLOK RENDERING THE PAPER USELESS COMPLETELY. ...LIKE SHLOK MAY DO TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP...EITHER BY EMOTIONAL DISTANCE OR CUTTING HIMSELF OFF ONCE MORE LIKE HE DID TO MOTHER ANJALI WHO HE LOVES BUT HATES NOW ... ...TOO ...BY ASTHA BEING ADAMANT ABOUT PROVING HER POV ...OR TRUTH WITH EGO ...INSTEAD OF GIVING INTO SHLOK ...WITH COMPLETE LOVE.. ...AND THEN DIRECTING SHLOK TO THE TRUTH HIMSELF. ...GIVING SHLOK'S LOVE FOR BABA ...DUE RESPECT ...AND THEN LEAVING THE DECISION TO SHLOK HIMSELF. ...
Today when shlok saw astha coming to the office with mother anjali ...shlok along with baba looked angry and stunned at astha and aai both ...but looked towards baba first for his possible reaction ... and only when shlok realised that baba was angry ...did he angrily go forward to see to the matter ...as if trying to resolve the matter there and then without involving baba ...and save Mother Anjali too from baba's ire and possible retribution maybe ...only to be stopped by baba ...not to create a scene in the office in front of everyone ...which shlok followed as he knew that baba was right at that moment ...that family matters should be resolved and stay at home and not be made public ...like astha seems to always drag the matters out publicaly ... without any thought to the possible consequences to everyone concerned not only ...Agnihothri family but the Educational Institutes too ...shlok seemed really angry at astha for bringing mother anjali to office against baba's rules...raising up baba's ire against ...either anjali or astha too...but shlok went away from there at baba's insistence ...as shlok knew baba would deal with the situation calmly ...as image was very important to baba ...more than anything ...
But shlok now in his cabin ...gave not a thought to mother anjali's's presence in the office or baba's ire and anger...SHOWING THAT SHLOK WAS NOT LIKE BABA AND GAVE WOMEN TOO THEIR DUE AND FREEDOM ...EVEN THOUGH ACTED LIKE MCP...AT TIMES BUT ONLY WHEN IT CAME TO THEIR SAFETY OR LIMITS ..but instead seemed to be waiting for biwi astha's presence eagerly ...and seemed relieved... when astha came in hesitatingly...inside the cabin ... gauging shlok's reactions ...only to find patidevshlok ...busy working without even acknowledging astha ...making astha more nervous that shlok was angry just like baba ...tthat astha had brought anjali with her to office...and so was consoling herself from shlok's anger ... ...that whatever astha was doing was just because of ...baba had blocked their money ...and so needed to show baba ...what women can do too ...
BUT SEEMS ASTHA IS NERVOUS OF SHLOK AND HIS IRE MORE THAN ANYTHING AGAINST HER . ...AND SO GOES TO SHLOK ..TO RELIEVE HER BURDEN AND POV TO SHLOK ...AND NOW ASTHA ASKS SHLOK TO TRUST HER BLINDLY JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HER ONE YEAR LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP ...SHE WAS NOT EVEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPERLY AS SHE ALSO DIDN'T TRUST SHLOK IN MANY MATTERS HERSELF ...AND BROKE HER PROMISES TO SHLOK CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN HE HAD WARNED HER MANY TIMES NOT TOO ...WHEREAS SHE WAS FIGHTING WITH SHLOK FOR TRUSTING HIS OWN LOVING BABA BLINDLY ...(WHOM EVEN HIS MOTHER ANJALI HAD FOLLOWED BLINDLY WHETHER GOOD OR BAD EVEN AT THE COST OF HER OWN CHILDREN'S HAPPINESSS FOR REASONS GALORE ). ...WHO HAD LOOKED AFTER SHLOK FROM WHEN HE WAS BORN MAYBE 25 OR MORE YEARS ...WITHOUT PROOF TO AGAINST HIS OWN DEAR GOD LIKE BABA ...OR NOT EVEN KNOWING THE REAL TRUTH OR REASON PERTAINING TO THE FAMILY AND BABA TOO ...WHO WAS NOT ONLY SHLOK'S OWN BLOOD RELATED FATHER ...BUT WHO LOVED SHLOK VERY MUCH ...TO WHOM SHLOK WAS A STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS TOO ...AND GRANTED SHLOK WHATEVER HE WANTED WITH LOVE ...GOOD OR BAD ...EVEN ASTHA ...BY HOOK OR CROOK ...TOO...
What will astha do when she will come to know her own dear baba had signed illegal papers ...illegally ...when he was not in his post ...as he had been suspended...just to get out of jail...as astha before too when shlok had proof that her baba had signed the tender papers ...which he shouldn't have as per rules ...indicating her baba may have taken bribe to sign the contract ...and so could go to jail...had given into shlok's blackmail...to stay with him as his wife ...AND ASTHA HERSELF ...ALSO HAD ASKED SHLOK TO DESTROY THE PROOFS AGAINST HER BABA ...AND HELP HIM NOT TO GO TO JAIL IN ANYWAY ...HOOK OR CROOK ...TO WHICH ASTHA HERSELF AGAIN PROMISED TO BE SHLOK'S WIFE COMPLETELY ACCORDING TO HIS WISHES ...IN EVERY SENSE..(EVEN THOUGH ASTHA HERSELF LOVED SHLOK AND WOULD HAVE SSURRENDERED TO HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN EVERYWAY... BUT HAD NOT WANTED TO GIVE INTO SHLOK FOR HIS HATE TOWARDS HER...AND SO TRIED TO ESCAPE FROM SHLOK TOO.) ...AND SO HAD GONE TO THE HONEYMOON WITH SHLOK TOO ...TO PROTECT HER OWN BABA FROM GOING TO JAIL...BY COVERING UP AVADHOOTS MISTAKE OF ... ILLEGAL SIGN AGAINST TRUTH TOO ...WHICH COULD HAVE COST AVADHOOT NOT ONLY HIS JOB ...BUT HIS REPUTATION AND SO MAYBE HIS LIFE TOO...WHICH ASTHA WANTED TO SAVE . ...HER BABA AND FAMILY FROM ...AT ANY COST ...EVEN TRUTH. iTSELF ...EVEN THOUGH TRIED TO PROTEST.
AND SO MAYBE ASTHA SHOULD STOP AND THINK FIRST ...WHEN GOING AGAINST ...SHLOK ..BABA...FAMILY ...AND THEIR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES. ...AND SLOWLY GO ABOUT EXPOSING TRUTH OF BABA TOO FAMILY... CAREFULLY WITH CAUTION... ...WHICH THEY MAY ALREADY KNOW AND ARE KEEPING QUIET FOR MANY REASONS...ESPECIALLY FOR ANJALI HERSELF AND HER PROTECTION OR FOLLOWING THEIR MOTHER BLINDLY FROM WHEN YOUNG ..WHICH HAS BECOME AN HABIT NOW DEEPLY INGRAINED IN THEIR MINDS AND NEEDS TIME AND CAUTION TO COME OUT OF IT ESPECIALLY WITH ANJALI'S HELP ITSELF. ... ...
BUT IT IS MAINLY ANJALI'S PROTEST AGAINST BABA'S ABUSE ...WITH ASTHA'S HELP ...WHICH COULD REALLY BRING ABOUT BETTER CHANGES IN HER FAMILY FOR THEIR HAPPINESS. ...BUT WHICH SHOULD BE DONE IN AN PROPER WAY ...NOT HAPHAZARDLY ...CREATING MORE CHAOUS... THAN SOLUTIONS ...
Astha now goes to shlok and asks shlok to trust her for once ...as their relationship was based on trust ...instead of trusting baba always ... BUT WHEN SHLOK ASKS ASTHA WHAT SHE WOULD DO IF SHLOK SAID THAT ASTHA'S BABA WAS WRONG ...TO WHICH ASTHA VERY QUICKLY WITHOUT EVEN THINKING SAYS THAT IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS HER BABA WAS NEVER WRONG ...AND REALISES HER FOLLY ...WHEN SHLOK SAYS ...THAT WAS WHAT EXACTLY WHAT HE FELT TO ABOUT HIS BABA AND WAS SUPPORTING HIS OWN BABA JUST LIKE SHE DID HERS... AND SO ASKED ASTHA TO UNDERSTAND HIS POV...TO WHICH ASTHA DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANSWER ...SO KEPT SILENT. ...AND WENT BACK...TO WORK ONCE MORE...worrying not only about patidev but also anjali who seemed to have been stuck in a weblike structure around NA...AND SO CLEVERLY ORDERS JUICE TO AAYI AS WELL AS SWEET LIME JUICE TO ... PATIDEVSHLOK TO COOL HIM DOWN FROM HIS ANGER ... ...AS NA WILL NOT MAR HIS IMAGE IN FRONT OF ANYONE...ESPECIALLY STAFF ...WHILE SHLOK WAS LOOKING AT ASTHA WITH A LONGING ...AND GOD SEEMED TO HAVE ANSWERED SHLOK'S PRAYING...AS NOW ...
Shlok seemed to have got a call from jyoti who seemed to bring Ashlok closer always. As even now jyoti called at a correct time as she maybe had a sixth sense...that her brother shlok needed love more than anything and so made small talk that anaya was missing shlok bringing a smile on his face ..and then jyoti asks for her favourite vahini astha... ..whom shlok says is present...but asks jyoti to call astha on her cell ...jolting astha ek baar phir ...that shlok was not even going to give her a right to his cell too ...but at jyoti's insistence shlok calls adths to talk to jyoti ...and then shlok when finds astha close to him slowly gets lost in astha talking to jyoti with longing looks fixed on astha with love and especially desire too ...whereas astha on realising shlok's longing look is also aware of patidev very much ...and adtha is happy when shlok drinks the lime juice she had ordered but shlok had rejected...at first ...but now after his intial hesitation ...looks to see biwi was happy ...now shlok drinks the juice ...more secularly and more surely as the juice was ordered by biwi but with love ...and so accepted it to tell astha that shlok will always accept whatever astha does to him with love and care and also showed his desire for astha ...even if it was a sweet lime juice ...when shlok had rejected the gulab jamun from her hands ...at jyoti's place ...
Now both Astha and shlok are in a bind with their egos and POV s. ...of why the other was not understanding their predicament...As astha was thinking that why shlok who had in their stranger game had declared that he could not live without astha for a second clearly ... but now was silent and not ending the separation ... even after the division of the house separating them both ...when astha didn't want to fight him anymore ...but couldn't bear baba and his evil thoughts and so couldn't even hold on to their relationship to anymore ...and so wanted shlok to understand her as she was giving support to truth...and that this time would not admit defeat untill she exposed baba's true face to shlok ...
ESPECIALLY FOR ANJALI'S TRUTH TO BE REVEALED...AS ONLY ANJALI CAN LEAD HER CHILDREN OUT OF BABA'S EVIL DARK INFLUENCES...TOWARDS... LOVE... AND HAPPINESS...AND SO NEEDS TO BE FIRST OUT OF SAHIB'S DARK ABUSIVE INFLUENCE...HERSELF..
Whereas shlok also was thinking ...that astha in her ego and stubborness ...to prove herself right ...was not even thinking about shlok himself. ...instead of saying sorry to baba and ending ASHLOK separation right there and then ...AS SHLOK NEEDS ASTHA'S LOVE AND SUPPORT NOW ...MORE THAN TRUTH...TO CARRY OUT HIS RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS ...ASTHA ...FAMILY ...ANJALI ...AGAINST BABA ...WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION ...RENDERING BABA USELESS FIRST ...AND THEN TAKING OVER ...FROM BABA ...AND MAKING BETTER CHANGES FOR EVERYONE'S HAPPINESS ::::
ASTHA COULD HAVE STARTED THEIR OWN BUSINESS WITH ANJALI'S HELP ...AND HER SKILLS AND EDUCATION ... TO SHOW THE MEN ...REAL WOMEN POWER...AND ABILITY...INSTEAD OF STILL RELAYING ON THEIR RIGHTS AS WIFE ..AND BAHU...(I GO WITH REKHA AND SOMEOTHERS ON THIS POINT...)
