Well, what can I say? I'm on a writing spree 😆 Anyway, this OS is based on a situation after the Sweekruthi Samaaroh gets over, assuming that Niranjan's truth is not seen by Aastha. I wanted a bit of Ashlok romance, without tension brewing up, and that's why I wrote this. A random writing, it is! Do pardon any mistakes.
P.S. I did not consider the fact that there may be readers who do not understand Hindi... Sorry 😳 English Translations are now added... Enjoy 😳
Romance Reloaded
Shlok tapped his feet and checked his watch for the tenth time in the last five minutes. He looked towards the door, while still pacing around inside the bedroom. It had been fifteen minutes since he called Aastha to the room, and she said she would be there in two minutes. The Sweekruthi Ceremony had gotten over almost an hour ago, and still there was no sign of her. The last time he checked on her, she was chit-chatting with one of those Aunties, who kept gossiping irrelevant things.
"Yeh ladki bhi na. Poori duniya ka kaam usey tabhi yaad ata hai, jab use mere paas aana hota hai. Aane do use, phir bataunga ke mujhe avoid karne ka anjaam kya hota hai"
"This girl! She remembers all the chores in the world, only when I call her close to me.let her come, I'll show her the consequences of avoiding me"
He smirked, as he heard the sound of her anklets increasing slowly, while she approached the door. Shlok took the chance to hide behind the door.
Aastha stepped into the room and found it empty. "Shlok bhi na. Pehle mujhe yahan pe bulaathe hain, aur phir khud hi gayab ho jaate hain. Akdoo kahin ke" "Shlok calls me to the room and then mysteriously disappears. Grumpy akdoo fellow"
She muttered under her breath. And then smiling to herself, recollecting her Akdoo husband, she said "Waise itne bhi akdoo nahin hain. Sweet hain, caring hain, aur aaj kal toh kuch zyada hi romantic hain. But jo bhi ho, hain bade hi hot mere patidev" "By the way, he isn't that bad after all. He's sweet, caring, and to top it all, he's too romantic nowadays. whatever be it, my hubby is quite hot"
Shlok, who was hiding behind the door, smiled to himself when he heard her talk. Giggling like a lovesick teenager, she proceeded towards the dressing table, to take off her heavy jewellery.
"Accha toh main itna bhi bura nahin hoon, ha?" "Oh, so I'm not that bad, eh?" Shlok crossed his arms at his chest and leaned against the door, after locking it. Aastha gasped and turned, as she saw him grinning at her. "Aap kahan the? Kab aaye? Maine toh aapko dekha hi nahi" "Where were you? When did you come here? Ii din't see you coming in at all." she said, hoping in vain that he did not hear her talking. "main?" he spoke as he drew the curtains closed. "Main toh yahin pe tha Aastha." "I was here itself Aastha" She stood still as though she was rooted to the ground, while he approached her in slow lazy strides.
"Aur kya keh rahi thi tum?" "And what were you saying?" Shlok spoke turning her towards the mirror to face their reflection in it, while scratching his head and faking forgetfulness. "Haan, yaad aya. Tum keh rahi thi ke main sweet hoon" "Ah yes, I remember, You were saying that I'm sweet" he stepped closer to her. "Caring hoon" he pulled her closer to him, making her back in contact with his chest. "Aur romantic ..." he said huskily, breathing into her ears. Aastha felt like her skin was on fire, as goose bumps ran over her.
"Shlok" she whispered, unable to overcome her shyness. "Mujhe change karna hai. Uske baad mujhe bahut kaam hai. Jaane deejiye Shlok" "I need to change clothes. I've got a lot of work after that. Llet me go Shlok" Shlok increased his grip on her arms and turned her to face him. "Change hi karna hai, toh main madad karta hoon" "I'll help you to change" Aastha's eyes grew as wide as a saucer. Before she could protest, he carried her and made her sit at the edge of the bed, while kneeling in front of her.
There was absolute silence between them, except for the tinkling of her bangles. One by one, he took off her bangles on her right hand, and placed soft kisses and caresses on her hand. He then repeated the same with her left hand. He got up, and sat next to her. Aastha tried to get up and run from him, but he held her hand, and shook his head in a "No", indicating her to be seated where she was. He then removed her earrings and kissed her ears. Aastha had a sharp intake of breath, as she felt his warm breath fanning her neck. He then removed her maang tika and kissed her forehead, dragging his lips along her cheeks. Aastha, by then, felt like she was hypnotised with his ministrations. He took off her nose ring, and kissed her nose.
"Aur bhi kuch kaha tha tumne." "You said something else too" He said tracing his index finger on her lower lip. Aastha had absolute no idea what was happening within her. Her heartbeat raced so fast as though she was being chased by a hungry lion. Her hands were cold and numb, while her face flushed hot. Her insides felt like it was turned into molten state. She shut her eyes, trying to control the berserk state of her being. "Tumne kaha tha ke main Hot hoon" "You said I'm hot as well.." he grinned at her, while watching her lower lip quiver, as his finger moved to her upper lip. And losing no time, he placed his lips on hers. Aastha felt like she had been electrocuted from head to toe. She responded to his kiss, without much delay. His lips were firm on hers, but he patient as well. He teased her, as he kept nibbling on her lip, while placing soft kisses. Shlok did this on purpose; he felt her getting frustrated with his teasing. He knew she wanted him to kiss her wholly, but waited for the inner tigress in her to be unleashed. It always turned him on when she was angry and wild, although he never said that to her. Aastha groaned as he kept toying with her lips.
Unable to take it anymore, she pulled him towards her by placing one hand on the back of his neck, and the other tangled in his hair. She kissed his mouth with a fiery passion; her nails scraping his scalp, while he cupped her face and pulled her closer. After what seemed like a breathless eternity, they broke apart. Both were flushed, dishelved and breathless. Her lips were slightly swollen and her hair was in an absolute mess. She withdrew her hand back, from Shlok's shirt. Aastha did not look him in the eye and was taken by surprise with her bold initial display of the intimacy.
Shlok leaned in for a second kiss. Aastha blushed and turned away, getting up to run out of the room, after managing to arrange her messy state. Shlok ran his fingers through his hair, and fell back on the bed, grinning at the memories of the victorious kiss. "Bhaag kar kahan jaaogi Aastha? Raat ko sone ke liye toh tumhe isi kamre mein aana hai" "Where will you run Aaastha? Tonight, you have to return to this very same room to sleep"
