Ok uncle, I am taking her with me...its her first day to adha din hi kafi hai...he almost pleaded...
Avdhoot smiled... As you wish...after all she is your wife yet...
Shlok got a bit confused listening wife word, but brushing the thought, he went to Astha's cabin ...while Astha as discussing some file with an employee...
Without knocking, he opened the gate and shouted...surprise...
Shlok...Astha jumped with shock...you here?

Itna confidence? A naughty Smile appeared on Astha's face automatically...Mr. Shlok Agnihotri...such a big change...for the first time, you are not afraid of Swati?
Yaar she is in meeting till evening...he smiled...aur waaise bhi agar fansa bhi to tum ho na bachane ke liye? He winked at Astha..
Astha punched him hard...you stupid...opportunist...
Shlok held her hands...no Astha, I am not... I agree she is my girlfriend...but now I can say, you are my best friend too... if she is an important part of my life, you are also an integral part of my life...
If I need to spend time with her for our relationship, I also love to be with you...
So no worries now...
Astha smiled on listening him...(Its easy for you to explain everything Shlok, but my life becomes tough , just one more day and our relation will be over)
Meanwhile, they had reached restaurant,
Astha, please order...Shlok spoke seeing menu, I never understand what to order...
Astha held menu and stated to order...while Shlok was looking at her surprisingly...
As the waiter went away...Astha , how did you know? I mean all you ordered, is my favorite...
Ya, I know...Astha smiled, that's why I ordered...
But how? Shlok was surprised...
Astha scratched her head.. are budhu...we have been together for one complete month...
Yaar itna to swati bhi nahi janti meri likes and dislikes...Shlok murmured...
Said something? Astha asked...
n...no... he smiled...and they had good time for the whole evening talking and sitting in park...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two days passed like this and the day of their divorce was today...
Judge checked their documents and called them...
So Mrs. Astha and Mr. Shlok Agnihotri...you want mutual divorce? He asked...
Yes sir...both spoke in unison with full confidence while Shlok a bit confuse and Atsha hiding her sadness...
May I know the reason? Judge looked at their faces...
Actually sir...i love someone else... Shlok spoke directly...
And you didn't know at the time of wedding? He asked to Astha...
I knew sir...but I had some other reasons... she spoke...but now we can't stay together...please allow our divorce...
The judge was asking those few more questions, when suddenly three persons (goons) came inside with knifes and one gun...
What is all this? Judge shouted...security...
The men were afraid as if they were running from any other trial...
Astha held shlok's hand in fear... But a man pulled Astha towards him and placed knife on her neck...agar koi aga aya to I will kill this girl...
Astha...shok shouted worriedly...
Shlok...Astha too shouted...
When suddenly Shlok picked the chair and threw it on the man keeping knife on Astha... another man tried to attack with knife on Shlok, but shlok's hand got a cut , in the meantime, security had come to cat the goons...
Astha...Shlok ran to her...Astha tum thik ho na? He took her face into his palms...
Hummm...she nodded while he pulled her into a tight hug...thank god...mujhe to lga tha...
But your hand...Astha immediately held his hand...took his handkerchief form his pocket and tied it where it was bleeding...
Soon doctor had also arrived and he gave first aid to Shlok...
After one hour proceeding started again...
So you two want divorce? But I can see how much you care for each other ...judge spoke...
They looked at each other in question...finally Astha spoke...sir, we are not just husband and wife, we are friends too...or agar meri jgah koi aur bhi hota to bhi Shlok yahi karta...
But... judge spoke...i think, one month is too early to decide anything about divorce, so this court give you time of six months to stay together, to know each other more...then we will decide...
No...they both shouted...no sir... We need divorce...
That's final ...judge smiled while leaving...
Shlok...Astha almost cried...no...
Shlok too lowered his face irritatingly...no way...
Outside the court room, judge shook hand with Avdhoot and Niranjan... Mr. Agnihotri, Mr. Kirloskar...you were right... Your plan was right...you said na there is little hope in their relation? But I am sure, there is complete hope in their relation...they just need time together...
Saying he left from there while Astha and Shlok came outside with almost crying faces thinking what to do next?
