After a month…
Kabir,Aastha and Shlok were sitting together for their work related discussion.
Kabir:Shall we go to the cafe and have tea?
Shlok:You both go.I am not coming.
Aastha:Why don’t you join us Shlok?
Shlok:I have to go out with my cousin Varad.So you both go.
Aastha:But…
Shlok:Bye…
Kabir thought:Good that Shlok is not there with us.I wanted to spend time with Aastha alone.Only Aastha and me.
He smiled.
Kabir:So..let’s go Aastha.
Aastha:Ok.
Kabir and Aastha went to the cafe.They chatted there.Tea was served for them.
Kabir imagined him and Aastha sipping tea from the same cup romantically.
Seeing Kabir smiling,Aastha called him.
Aastha:Kabir!Why are you smiling?
Kabir’s dream got broken and said:Nothing…just like that.
Aastha just smiled.
Shlok and Kavya were playing.
Shlok:I am really tired.Shall we take rest for a few seconds?
Kavya:Ok.
Both sat down.
Kavya:Shlok bhaiyya…Why don’t you marry Aastha di?
Shlok was stunned.
Shlok:Kavya,what are you saying?
Kavya:Aastha di was going to marry Omkara bhaiyya.But that did’nt happen.But you are just like Omkara bhaiyya.So you can marry Aastha di.Right?
Shlok smiled and said:We will think about it later.Now shall we resume our game?
Kavya:Ok.
They both started their game again.
Kabir dreamt of having sweet romantic moments with Aastha.
Chhoti chhoti raatein
Lambi ho jaati hain
Chhoti chhoti raatein
Lambi ho jaati hain
Baithe bithaaye yunhi
Neende kho jaati hain
Dil mein bechaini aankhon
Mein intezaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Kabir imagined Aastha feeding him food with her hand.
Chhoti chhoti raatein
Lambi ho jaati hain
Baithe bithaaye yunhi
Neende kho jaati hain
Dil mein bechaini aankhon
Mein intezaar hota hai
Kabir imagined chatting and laughing with Aastha.
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Chhoti chhoti raatein
Lambi ho jaati hain
Kabir said some joke in Aastha’s ear and she laughed.
Deewanon si haalat hai apni
Pucho na kya chaahat hai apni
Thaamli maine teri yeh baahen
They shared a romantic eye lock with each other.
In baahon mein jannat hai apni
Phool sa khilke mehka hai yeh dil
Phir tujhe chhuke mehka hai yeh dil
Dil ka kya hai yeh to
Kabir imagined him and Aastha laughing and hugging each other.
Harpal bekaraar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Chhoti chhoti raatein lambi ho jaati hain
Kabir imagined him resting his head on Aastha’s shoulder and she blushing.
Panchhi banke ud jaate dil
Milte hain jab sapno ki manzil
Sapne to phir sapne hote hain
Sach hai yeh kab apne hote hain
Shlok imagined Aastha proposing Shlok.
Aastha:I love you Shlok.Will you marry me.
He smiled.
Jaag kiya phir dekha kab sapna
Jab koi dil ko lage koi apna
Na dil pe kaabo na khud
Pe ikhtiyaar hoyta hai
Shlok imagined Aastha embracing him.
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Shlok-Aastha were sharing a romantic eye lock while moon and doves were the witnesses.
Chhoti chhoti raatein
Lambi ho jaati hain
Baithe bithaaye yunhi
Neende kho jaati hain
Shlok-Aastha danced infront of the moon in a snowy world.
Dil mein bechaini aankhon
Mein intezaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyaar hota hai. (Tum bin).
Kabir met Aastha.
Kabir:Actually I came here to discuss an important matter.
Aastha:Say Kabir.
Kabir:Now that we are friends I can’t ignore your condition.I know that your company is not in a good position.Though after Shlok’s entry,the company started recovering and regained trust,to go back to it’s old position it will take years.But I can help you as a friend by offering a good amount of money.
Aastha was stunned.
Aastha:We just became friends recently.How can you give me such a big amount of money?
Kabir:Because your friendship is very special for me Aastha.Don’t misunderstand me.Please don’t refuse to accept my offer.
Aastha thought:Poor Shlok is struggling hard for our company.If I don’t accept money,Shlok will suffer for another 10 years for our company.I should’nt let Shlok suffer anymore.
Aastha:Thank you Kabir for willing to help us in our crisis.Only a few friends do this.I can’t thank you enough.
Kabir became very happy as Aastha accepted his offer.Shlok who passed by overheard their conversation and walked away.
Aastha:But I can’t take such a big amount for free.Even if it takes years I will pay you back.
Kabir became dull.
Kabir:But I did’nt you for it.No friend would want money back.You consider me as your friend.Right?
Aastha:Of course..you are my very good friend now and that’s why I am accepting it.But I should not take advantage of your good heart.Please try to understand it.
Kabir:Ok..your wish.
Shlok told Varad:I have decided to leave Oberoi Industries and this place.
Varad was shocked.
Varad:But why?
Shlok told Varad about Kabir offering to help Aastha.
Shlok:Oberoi Industries does’nt need me anymore.There is no point in staying here.
Varad was shocked.
Varad:If Kabir is willing to give such a huge amount of money to Aastha,he has some other intention.He really loves her and plans to marry her.Otherwise who will give such a huge amount to a random person.
Shlok:I know.Kabir wants to marry Aastha.
Varad:Kabir will marry Aastha and you will lose Aastha forever.
Shlok:It’s God’s punishment for me Varad.Because of me,Aastha lost her love Omkara.Because of Kabir,I lost my love Aastha.I deserve it.
Shlok wept.
Varad felt sad.
Shlok went to the Oberoi Mansion and informed them about leaving.
Kalyani was shocked.
Shlok:An orphan like me got a grandmother’s love from you.I will never forget it.I will miss you dadi.
Kalyani cried hugging him.
Shlok struggled hard to control his tears.
Kalyani:Why don’t you change your decision?
Shlok replied painfully:I can’t dadi…
Kavya was also crying.
Kavya:Please don’t go.
Shlok wept.He wiped her tears.
Shlok:Don’t cry.Your beautiful face looks beautiful only with a beautiful smile on your face.
Kavya could not smile.
After consoling Kavya,Shlok went to Tej’s room and sat near him.
Shlok:I am leaving Uncle.I wanted to serve you the whole life as because of me,you lost your son.But unfortunately I can’t do that.Maybe my punishment is I should not get love from all of you.So it’s better to leave.Please forgive me Uncle.
He touched Tej’s feet and left.Tej’s eyes became wet.
Shlok walked out of the room.
Kalyani:Are you not bidding ‘good-bye’ to Aastha?
Shlok said emotionally:No,I can’t.
Shlok walked out.Kalyani became upset.
Aastha and Kabir reached Oberoi Mansion.
Kalyani informed Aastha about Shlok leaving.
Aastha was shocked.
Aastha:Shlok is leaving?Why did’nt you stop him dadi?
Kalyani:Because he will not listen to me.Only you can convince him.Because I have seen love in his eyes for you.
Kabir’s heart was pricked.Aastha became emotional.
Kalyani:We lost Omkara.We should not lose Shlok too.Go stop him Aastha.
Aastha nodded emotionally.She was in tears.
Kabir became upset.
Aastha reached Shlok’s house.
Shlok was shocked to see her.
Shlok:Aastha!
Aastha:Why are you shocked to see me Shlok?Even after knowing that you are leaving did you expect me to keep quiet without bothering about it?
Shlok was silent.
Aastha:Why are you leaving without even informing me Shlok?
Shlok said in his mind:I can’t say ‘good-bye’ to you Aastha.It’s too painful for me.
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Aastha:Tell me why you took this decision Shlok.
Shlok:You don’t need my help anymore Aastha.Kabir is there to help you.The Oberoi industries does not need me.
Aastha:It’s not Oberoi Industries which is between us,but love.I know that you love me Shlok.
Shlok was shocked.
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa mat jaa
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Aastha:You thought I did’nt notice your love for me?I will be a fool if I don’t understand your love.I thought my heart cannot love anyone other than Omkara.For me,my life was over after Omkara left this world.But you brought me back to life and made me fall in love again.I love you Shlok.Please don’t go.
Shlok became very emotional.
Kya maine pa liya hai
Kya maine kho diya hai
Shayad yeh soch kar hi
Dil aaj ro diya hai
Tu hi to tha mera apna
Kaise phir yeh toota sapna
To jo mil ke kho jaayega
Jeena mushkil ho jaayega
Ho o o o
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Shlok:I have to go.
Aastha became upset.
Aastha:Why are you going Shlok?Why are you hiding that you love me?Don’t you love me?
Shlok’s suppressed emotions burst out.
Shlok:Yes,I love you Aastha.I love you very much.
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Aastha smiled emotionally and embraced him.He was about to embrace her back,but he controlled himself.
Yeh ishq ki hai raah
Mein jin pe chal raha hoon
Is aag mein na jaane
Kab se main jal raha hoon
Main to hoon tera deewana
Tune mujhko na pehchaana
He shoved away Aastha softly.
Aastha never expected him to do that.She was shocked by his action.
Shlok:Please don’t do this Aastha.Don’t make it difficult for me.
Aastha:Why Shlok?You love me.Right?
Shlok:Yes,I love you.But I have to go.
Dilbar mere aisa na kar
Chahat mein tu ruswa na kar
Meri duniya mein aake
Aastha pleaded:Please Shlok,don’t go.It’s a request.
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa mat jaa
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Meri duniya mein aake
Mat jaa mat jaa kahin mat jaa
Shlok became upset:I told you already not to make it difficult by requesting me like this.I won’t be able to leave if you request me tearfully.
Aastha:Then don’t go Shlok.
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Shlok:I have to go Aastha.Please try to understand.
Aastha:If you find it difficult to leave,why are you leaving?
Shlok:Because I don’t deserve you Aastha.If you know the truth,you will hate me.
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka
Ishq ka dard hai dard hai ishq ka.(Tum bin).
Aastha was stunned to hear his words.
Aastha:Why are you talking like this Shlok?What truth are you talking about?
Shlok:Omkara died because he was hit by my car.
Aastha was shocked.
