Prologue
'Ek baar rokhlo Shlok, sab kuch chodkar, sabko chodkae aajaungi... Ek baar roklo...' Aastha's heart spoke with silent lips...
She is walking with a rolling bag to big designed house entrance which is an exit for her... This is the day after their divorce... She is leaving Agnihotri Mansion forever... She is leaving Shlok forever... After her confession to him there is no feeling in his heart... She couldn't melt this stone, burning his past to make him live in present...
'Agar tumne mujhe abhi nahi roka, mein kabhi tumhara nahi bann paungi, iss ke baad meri zindagi meri haath mein nahi hoga...' She wanted speak out these words.. But there is no hope of him stopping her... Before letting her feet out she stood still hearing his voice...
"Aastha rukho...!!!!" A wide cheeky smile spread on her face... As she shut her lashes tears pour down... Hearing her name from Shlok seeded hope in her heart...
As she turned, her hopes thrashed in moments, "Yeh divorce papers ka tumhari copy, bhulgayi ho..." He walked to her and handed her the papers...
She clutched them with shivering hands... She looked deep into his eyes with her moist eyes... She knows that her tears can never change him... She could see love in his eyes, but she prayed that he should never realize his love for her after this moment... Because realization after this will leave him with only pain... She cannot come back to him... She turned and left with Kalindi, who is waiting for her outside...
