Aastha pulled infront of Agnihotri institutions and parked. She sat there for a few minutes gathering her thoughts and trying to calm her nerves. Then she stepped out and walked upto his cabin.
He lifted his eyes off his screen, "You need to knock before you enter!" he said,leisurely sipping his coffee.
His mere words irritated her more, and spoke ignoring his remark "What made you leave from there all of sudden, without intimating anyone. Forget about others, weren't you even bothered about me, at least"
Shlok sneered at his one day old wife, "Bothered! about whom, Is it for the one least concerned about her husband, who has been waiting for her all over night" placing the coffee mug on his desk and continued, "But now, I should get your permission,is it?tell me! I'll keep in mind"
"Shlok.." she was completely baffled at his words.
"Where you were last night?" he asked in a careless tone, pressing his forehead.
She gazed at him with her red eyes and walked away with no reply.
Her overcoming tears are blinding her vision, making it hard to see other cars and vehicles in her path. She pulled over to a side of the road and unbuckled her seat belt. Inclining her head on the steering, she cried her heart out.
When we choose to love a person, we open ourselves to a great suffering. As the one you love, will be the one who hurts you. But how can one avoid the joy of loving without actually enduring !
The risk of loving is always worth taking!!
