Hey guys
Just felt like writing a cute Rantara OS for the weekend.
Enjoy! 😊

❤️OS: HEARTBEAT ❤️
"You guys have taken the right decision in keeping her as Aaji's caretaker. There couldn't have anyone more perfect", said the doctor as he administered a fluid into Aaji's bloodstream.
The heart attack was a mild one, but had it been left unnoticed, could have killed Aaji. This was the the third time in two months that Aaji had suffered a heart attack after secretly eating junk food; and the third time Antara had come to her rescue. Raghu and Antara had grown very close in the course of Aaji's care-taking; Raghu seeing the true qualities of a doctor in Antara and Antara seeing the humane nature of Raghu in every little thing he did for Aaji.
After tucking Aaji into bed and pulling the covers over her, Antara walked in silence into the courtyard, thinking of what she'd done. She hadn't been able to fulfil her dad's dream of seeing her as a doctor, but what she was doing today was worth more than having a qualification in her hand. She had saved a life yet again. Wasn't that the fundamental job of a doctor?
As she walked along, lost in her thoughts, she felt a strong pair of arms grab her hand and pull her behind one of the pillars. She didn't have to open her eyes to know who. In the past two months, Raghu had been more and more consistent in saying 'thank you' for even little things she did, like when she had saved a sabzi from becoming too spicy/ salty or covering up for Raghu when he'd been late and Aaji was be in a questioning mood.
She opened her eyes to find his warm brown eyes staring at her; one arm snaked around her waist, the other pinning her hand behind her back against the pillar.
"Thanks, Miss Call", he breathed.
Antara opened her mouth to argue that it was her duty, but Raghu just put his fingers to her lips and shushed her. He then took her hand and put it over his heart.
"What do you feel?"
"Your heart's beating really fast", Antara replied, smiling.
"And what does that mean, Doctor Sahiba?" asked Raghu, a smirk forming on his face.
"Well, it usually means that someone made you mad and your blood pressure is therefore probably going up!"
Annoyed that Antara was being so cheeky and ignoring his flirting, Raghu suddenly tilted her face and kissed her on her lips, taking her by surprise. He has never been this bold before. In shock, she gasped, leading him to kiss her even more deeply. He broke away from the kiss when they needed air. He then slid his fingers down to feel the pulse in her neck.
"Oye, dekho! It seems like our hearts now seem to be beating at the same pace. Kahin tumhe heart attack na aa jaye!"
"Is this your plan? To end every disagreement with moves like this?" asked Antara, fiercely blushing.
"Well, I'm a goon without manners. But of course, limit ka gunda hoon. Aur chahiye, kya? Raghu asked, teasing her, all the while watching her turn pinker at the thoughts that crossed her mind.
Antara couldn't face him any more and tried to escape from his arms, but he caught her again and asked, "You didn't answer my question about why my heart OR why your heart was beating so fast!"
"Aur kya? Dil toh do hain, lekin jaan toh ek hai, na? You make me go crazy. Agar tumhari fan-club hoti na, toh unn logon ko bhi heart attack aa hi jata ek din!" Antara replied, releasing herself from his grip and running away, inciting him to chase her around the courtyard for another Rantara moment. 😆
