Shlok straightened. Aastha shot daggers with her look to her. Aastha "heyy hello who r u wat is the work u r doing here." Mala "hello aap kaun hain main iss company mein employee hoon." Aastha "main inki wife hoo aap jasakte yaha se I know people like u see urself how traditional u r and get out from here b4 I fire u." Shlok was enjoying this Aastha. She went away. Aastha saw him with killing looks. Shlok "kya baat hain itna jealous ho raha koi."(arey wa y r u so jealous) Aastha "Shlok aap na mere kasam hain kisi aur ladki se ... wo aap na..." and she lost words and hugged him and said "Teek hain I m sorry u can do whatever u want with me I will do as u say but please don't go to any other women only for that sake.." Shlok was shocked "Kya!!" and he understood and wanted to tease her and said "kya karu Aastha tum to maan hi nahi rahe hain kaise control karu main."(Wat to do Aastha u r not accepting it how can I control) Aastha "meri galti I m sorry I will do whatever u say but please I cant bear other women with u.." and she sobbed hugging him. Shlok "heyy Aastha don't cry meri jaan main sirf majak kar raha tha tum kitni sensitive ho na who said u all these rubbish Aastha achcha teek hain I will do whatever u want but not now mujhe bhoog lagi hain." Aastha laughed at her foolishness and kissed him on cheek. She also served him. Aastha "Shlok khana kaise hain."(Shlok hows the food) Shlok "Hmm achchi hain."(hmmm nice) Aastha "Tho ek baar I love u kahiye na please.." Shlok "Aastha.." Aastha made a puppy face.
Jyoti "Please don't do this please.." Bua "chup bilkul chup don't shout otherwise u don't have food for next two days." Jyoti "aap jaisa kahega vaisa hi karungi lekin please don't do this I beg this I wont run anywhere I don't want my baby to die." Abhay "Bua ye aise nahi sunenge give that injection." Jyoti "nahi nahi please don't do this I m sorry I wont run please I want this baby.." but her words went into their deaf ears. Abhay just dragged her hand pierced injection mercilessly into her hand. Jyoti shouted "Aai.." and drifted into unconsciousness. Anjali suddenly woke up. She was worried and tensed she didn't know y. Anjali called Varad and asked about her again. Varad "Aai I m on that work lekin thoda dar lag raha hain if baba comes to know about this." Anjali "nahi Varad no problem how slow it goes but he should not know about this." Varad "Haan Aai I know." Anjali "pata nahi kyun aisa lag raha hain mere beti takleef main hain."(don't know y I feel Jyoti is in danger) Varad "Aai kuch nahi hoga don't worry." And he cut the call. Anjali paced here and there.
Shlok finished his lunch but was feeling the time came. He too cant hide his feelings now. He called someone and said to get ready within half an hour. He said Aastha to come with him. Aastha "kaha." Shlok "Just be silent and come with me." She didn't say anything and followed him. He took her to the terrace and went into the store room. He shown her photos from her childhood. Every thing she noted her as memories are on the wall. She just kept staring at them. She was amazed to see those pics. Some of them r with her dad some of them r with her friends, some of them r with her Ajju. Her fight with Ajju were also captured and she was just stood there nonplussed. Shlok was enjoying her. Slowly her tears started. Shlok rubbed her tears with his thumb. Shlok said her to come with him again. Shlok took her to home and shown his study room with full of her memories after marriage. Their marriage photo was framed very big on the wall. How blind she is. How cant she see all these and moreover how cant she see that love in his eyes. She was shining at that moment. Shlok "Oh god I made it atlast I silenced the great Aastha Shlok Agnihotri." Aastha saw him and asked with full of emotion "Shlok ye sab mere liye kiya tumne."(Shlok did u make all this for me) Shlok "nahi padose keliye."(no its for neighbour) Aastha smiled and hit him. Shlok again took her to the Railway station.
Aastha "Shlok y did u bring me here." Shlok didn't answer and went into the station with her. Aastha "Shlok kya kar raha hain aap."(Shlok wat r u doing) Shlok didn't listen and dragged her to the centre. He said her to wait there itself. He went to the announcement room and took the mike and said "Heyy listen every one I m Shlok Agnihotri an arrogant male swine as known to the world till now but a small cute gift was given to me by god which changed my perspection of living she is the one changed my life with full of happiness she brought light into my life, she stood beside me always when I used to see her cheap, she knows how to cool me and how to bring me out of trance, she is the only one who understood me so much in a very less time, now she is everything to me, I wont leave her whatever be the situation u r mine u don't have choice except to live with me and bear me. Believe me u r the only one for me from now Aastha Shlok Agnihotri I remember the date u met me and thank u for coming into my life ur signature always ends with my name I m proud of being ur husband and should say that I m very lucky one to have u this is Shlok Agnihotri owned by Aastha Shlok Agnihotri." And spoke out those magical words infront of every one. Shlok "Aastha I cannot live without u I love u Aastha I love u so much can any one find where she is." Aastha was in tears. She cant even think of anything. She was not at all embarrassed at all for her utter shock. She was just thinking is it real? Aastha just put her hand on her mouth and cried. The lady beside her saw her and said loudly "Heyy I got her I got her come out man." And Shlok came out to just find her beaming with tears. Shlok came near her and said "Kya hua itna kyun sharm aarahe hain I love u kahne ke liye kaha tha aur tum bol nahi sakte kuch."(Wat happened y r u shy u asked me to say ilu and u r not saying anything) Aastha just went to him and hugged him tightly and cried and said "I love u Shlok I love u so much." A person beside "Kitne cute hain dono." And every one clapped there. A couple beside them "R u both to be husband and wife." Shlok nodded in a no and said "We r husband and wife." A girl "dekho tum kaise hain dono kabhi tumne kiya hain kya aisa."(see them and learn did u ever do like this) She was asking his husband.
Aastha cant able to speak anything. She was still in his embrace. Shlok "Aastha." Aastha "Hmm." Shlok "Kya hum ghar chelenge."(Shall we go to home) Aastha "hmm" Shlok "Aastha sab dekh rahe hain."(Aastha everyone r watching) Aastha "hmm." Shlok "Oh nautanki chalo." Aastha broke the hug and wiped her tears and said "chele." They all clapped again. Now the world knows about them. Shlok and Aastha went hand in hand to their endless love life. Aastha was in cloud 9. She just cant imagine anything she was recalling his words. Aastha slowly "ye sab karne ki kya jaroorat thi."(wat is the need to do all this) Shlok "Kya main ye sab tumhareliye kiya aur tum hain ki thank u karne ki vaja tum mujhe pooch rahe ho."(wat!! I did all this for u and u r asking something instead of thanking me) Aastha "Oho Shlok ofcouse I like it main tho kya aisa karne se every lady there would have fallen to ur words I asked u to say I love u thats it I didn't want u to show ur love to every one." Shlok "samaj gayi ab se from next time onwards u think twice b4 asking me ok." Aastha "haan haan teek hain ab ghar chele bohut late hua aai scolds me." Shlok hit his head with his hand and drove silently thinking ye kabhi nahi suderagi.
Aastha came to her room. Does she have that dare to do that. Yes y cant after all he made some surprises. Shlok was busy on the work and didn't notice the time. Aastha called him twice inbetween to know wen he would be coming. She set everything ready. She is waiting for him to arrive. Shlok came to the room and saw it was dark and beautifully decorated. Shlok thought hmm lagta hain madam aaj bohut romantic mood main hain. Slowly he stepped in and called Aastha. She was nowhere seen. She was hiding behind the door. She wore the red gown he bought for her in the party. She knows he liked it. Shlok saw her and his eyes popped out. Is she his nave Aastha. No definitely no. He came closer to her and touched her face. Shlok "aaj bohut khoobsoorat lag rahe hain y cant u look like this daily." Aastha "matlab main sirf aaj hi achche lag rahe hain tumko."that means am I beautiful to u only today) Shlok caught her waist and brought her closer and blew air onto her face to remove her hair. Aastha shivered. Shlok "To kya hain ye sab, main ne I love u kaha isiliye hain na." Aastha "ji nahi cant u see didn't u feel yesterday u r such a blind no actually I m a fool insisting u to say I love u actually I want to do it with u but I just thought I m the one put the condition to say I love u I cursed the time wen I said that I always wanted u I m sorry to hurt u these many days. Yesterday I also gave u the signal lekin tum mere mood kharab kar diya." Shlok "achcha main tumhara mood kharab kar kiya tum kya kiya itni dino se so leave it now." And he came forward and whispered in her ears "Aastha do u want to become mother." Aastha didn't know wat to say but shyly boldly nodded.
