I'll wait for tomorrow to see u'r next. Thank you for writing so well. Take a bow, take it now!😃

Chapter XVII

Shlok heard the sound of a broken glass and thought that she might get hurt. He rushed to the hall. Astha stood there totally lost.

'Are you ok?'

'Why are you asking? Who cares?'

'Oh, Mrs. Agnihotri is not in the mood... see you later then'

'No, later you won't see me, dear. Come out and fight like a man and not a filthy snake.'

Shlok squinted and immediately estimated the situation rightly. She was furious; he had never seen her that way. His sweet romantic girl flew away and he was left only with a desperate vampire cat that was bloodthirsty, she craved for his blood. The changes he observed astonished him: her eyes were shining like stars, she looked full of life, when did she grow taller? His shy wife could shout and that was very loud. Instantly he recognized the signs - she was balancing 'on the edge' that was why she had broken the mirror. That was the crucial moment he was facing; he was ready, expected it but Astha appeared to be more patient than Shlok had predicted. What were his options? His brains worked very fast calculating possibilities and taking into the account potential consequences.

She knew all or nearly all but he had no intention to deny anything. His tiny wife wanted to fight, oh, he loved that. At last!

'I hate you!!! A monster! Filth!' she cried out.

'I see. We have a new stage in our relationship. I'm glad. You'd better hate me for what I am than love for what I'm not' calmly answered her husband.

'Have you ever loved me? Every time you slept with me you felt nothing?!' she shouted though knew the answer. 'Answer me'

"I'd better not, Astha and stop asking' heard she.

'Then remember this, Mr. Agnihotri... you have never been making love to your wife, you've just had sex with her. So live with the fact that you have never tasted that experience and will never have... It takes three to make love: him, her and God so you've missed that regrettably. Now listen to me, Mr. Shlok Agnihotri, the planet is round, we meet people twice and one day you'll meet me again. On that day you'll crouch' Astha was furious.

'Are you threatening me, baby?' coldly smiled Shlok.

'The baby promises' hissed Astha.

For the first time in many years he was really excited and emotions flooded through him like water through a broken dam. What a feeling it was! He sensed life running though his veins. Somebody was courageous enough to challenge him and this somebody' was a foot shorter. Shlok was enjoying his anger: a great, strong and powerful feeling made him realize it was useless to deny his nature; he was very emotional and passionate. Life has changed his demeanor but not the essence of him. Somehow that girl has found the strings unseen for others; the strings hidden even from him. Everybody around saw the shining facade of success and prosperity, she saw him.

Astha started moving closer, she kept on accusing him in all deadly sins and then... everything he has ever felt before was nothing in comparison with the rage he experienced when she slapped him...No one in the whole world has ever dared to slap him. It was unthinkable. He was out of words... She set him on fire, he wanted to kill her. At that very moment she raised her hand to slap him again

'Don't you dare ever to repeat it, baby. Understood? Next time I'll hit you back, harder...' he said chiseling out each word separately.

They stood in that damn hall among the pieces of the broken glass and saw nothing except each other. Both were breathing heavily. If somebody had thrown a nuclear bomb on the city at that very moment they wouldn't have noticed.

'I want a divorce' she dropped. She turned around but then suddenly froze. Slowly she turned back to him saying 'I want money as well. I want much money. Let me anticipate your question and explain you why should you see to this important issue. Thirty million would cost you my interview in all newspapers explaining to the whole world how generous, kind and understanding Mr. Shlok Agnihotri is. In case you choose another option every person in this country and beyond will know what a filthy traitor and calculative rat you are. I bet all your business partners would be happy to know about your nice traits of character like loyalty for example or tendency to fake facts or may be even documents. There's always a choice, Mr. Shlok Agnihotri. Always. What do you choose?'

Oh my😳 hr reactn ws much intense than expctd! Glad she askd fr huge alimony ..bt so sad Shlok denied feelng anythng evrytim they wr togethr😭 Its goin to b tough to patch them up c.s! Btw me phirst😎
