Chapter 27

"raghu!!!" Antara gasped. "hey allah!!!... ye toh..." zoya couldn't finish her words and antara rushed towards raghu and those two guards. "tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?!!" she asked rasing her voice. "tereko apna sakal dikhane nahhin aya hoon... Kyun bhag ke a gayi wahan se?!!" raghu asked in his usual irritated voice struggling in grip of those guards. "toh main kya karti main?! Tumne darwaja kyun bandh kar diya tha?!! Iss liye mujhe bhag na para!!" antara replied back in same irritated tone. "aur tere ko kya laga tub hag ke mere se bach jayegi... Apun khudd chalke idhar nahi aa sakta?!!" he said again. "raghu tum chup raho aur jao yahan se please!!" she said in urging tone. "naii jata... jabtak tu idhar hain apun bhi idharhich rahega..." he said in stubborn voice. "raghu zid mat karo..." Antara tried to say. Zoya was standing there with startled face looking and their verbal fight. At last she came forward and stood beside antara. "raghu bhaijaan aap yahan?!!" she asked with startled voice. "arey bhabi ji!! Aap ke inn chunu munnu ko samjhaon na ki apun chor chakara nahi hain... arey kuch bhi bataon ye log bas maar ne pe tule rehete hain...!!" raghu said in irritated voice. "aise achanak ghar mein ghusoge to sab tumhe chor hi samjhengey na.." antara said in angry voice. "eyyy tu chup rahe... Dekho bhabi... aap ka lehaz kar rahhi hoon iss liye abhitak inn chunnu munnu ka massage jhel raha hoon... nai to kab ka kaan ke niche..." Raghu said. "arey nahi nahi... bhaijaan aap chup ho jaiye... Aur haan aap dono choriye inhe ye chor nahi hain..." zoya said looking towards guards. They left raghu and went outside. Then zoya looked back towards them with confusion. "raghu bhaijaan aap Kashmir kab ayein?!!..yu achanak!!... aap ne humein bataya kyun nahin?!!" she asked. "arey bhabu ji... Apun ko kya pata tha ki kabhi Kashmir anna parega... par iss yeri ki wajah se idhar thandi hawa khane ana para..." Raghu indicated towards antara with irritated voice. "haan!!..." antara just could say this word. God what was he going to spit out!!! She became worried. "aap dono ek dusre ko jaan te hain?!!" zoya asked in more confusion. "aur nahin to kya?!! Aap ko pata hain iss ke chakkar mein mere ko kya kya nahin karna para?! Bina ticket ke Kashmir aa gaya... fir waps Mumbai jane ke liye kaha to naii... madam ko naii jana... Fir apun ne kaha ki mere ko idhar le ke ane ka... wo bhi ane nahi deti... Apun pak gaya iss ke na sunte sunte to khud chala ayya..." he said. pls god pls!! pls do something to shut his mouth!!' antara prayed. She was feeling like banging her head on wall. "aap antara ke liye Kashmir ayein?! Antara mumbai mein thi kya?!" zoya asked at last. "arey haan bhabi.. aur wo bhi apun logo ke basti mein..." raghu answered. "raghu pls tum chup rahoge!!" antara said in a slow voice. "kyun, haar baar apun chup rahega aur tu bakbak karti rahegi?!! Tu bakbak machine hain kya?!!" he asked. suddenly zoya burst into laughter and both of them get startled. "arey bas karo tum dono!!... main samajh gayi!!" zoya laughed. "dekha aap samajh gayi na... aur apun iss miscall ko samjhate samjhate thak gaya ki koi lafra nahin hain... idhar mereko koi kuch nahi kahega..!!" raghu huffed. "thik hai thik hain... antara tumne humein bataya kyun nahi ki tum raghu bhaijaan ke jaan pahechan wale ho.. pata hain daya mai aur raghu bhaijaan ke sath humara kitna purana rishta hain!!" zoya said with cheer full voice. "aisi baat nahi hain zoya didi main bas..." antara couldn't finish her words and zoya started again, "haan antara itna bhi kya ruthna ki tum raghu bhaijaan ko apne sath bhi nahi la sakti?! Pyar mein to ye ruthna mana na laga hi raheta hain..." zoya said with a smirk. "KYA???!!!" both of their jaw drooped. Raghu seemed like froze at the spot and antara was feeling like losing her sense. God, what was going on?! Antara thought with jumbled head. Raghu gave a secret glance towards antara and she sensed that. She slowly looked away from him hiding her angry face. raghu and she... That would be the worst nightmare she could ever think. "kash abbujaan ghar pe hote. Khuda jane kyun unhe abhi bahar nikalna tha!! Aur pata nahin ye aman bhaijaan kaha hain?!! waisey raghu bhaijaan kahena parega aap ki pasand ka koi jawab nahin... sachmein ek nayab heera mila hain aap ko..." zoya said looking towards antara. raghu was still looking at antara secretly. Her calmness was the indication of disaster. "zoya di, I am sorry!! It's getting late!! abhi mujhe jana hoga... kaal fir aap se baat karti hoon..." antara said in a dry voice and rushed towards the door. Like she was trying to run away from the place! "oye miscall!! Kidhar chali rajdhani express ban ke?!! Abey ruk na..." raghu was about to run behind her when she heard zoya's voice behind, "raghu bhaijaan, dubara zaroor anna.. ab aap ko andar ane se koi nahin rokega..." raghu turned around with a huge grin.. "bole to thank you bhabi ji... Apun chalta hain..." raghu said and rushed outside. "god, what a cute couple!" zoya said with a smile.

Antara rushed outside of siddiqui mansion. "oye miscall!!" she heard his voice behind. She didn't bothered to look back. "arey sun too..." raghu's voice raised a bit. Antara hurried her feet and reached near the bus stand. She got inside the first bus she got. "abey oyee ruk!!..." she heard his scream and at that moment the bus started engine. Raghu saw the bus going away. "S**a bus!!.." he didn't think for a while and rushed behind the speedy bus. Antara found an empty seat and sat on it. She gave away a big sigh. Suddenly she heard a chaos. All the passengers of her side were looking outside the window and some of them were screaming also. "hey what happened?!" antara asked the lady who was seating beside her. "a man is running behind the bus. I think he want to get in!!" she answered. "what?!! But the bus has caught the speed!!" antara said and peeped through the window. Her breath hitched looking at the man who was running behind the bus madly. It was none other than raghu. In front of her eyes he managed to catch the bus and get inside. Antara quickly got back to her seat and sat quietly. "arey bhaisahab!! Aap pagal ho kya?!! Aise chalet huye bus mein koi uth ta hain kya?!!" the conductor asked. "abey apun ki futti kismet!! Jab se mili hain piche bhag ta jar aha hoon!! Abto confusion hain ki bhagte bhagte kahin Olympic na pahuch jaun!!" raghu hovered. "kya kahan aap ne bhaisahab?!" conductor asked in confusion. "kuch nahi yaar, chal dimag mat kha!!.." he said angrily. Conductor didn't made further conversation. Antara heard everything and her feature stiffened on the seat. Raghu looked around the bus and at some distant antara's green dupatta caught his view. He slowly reached to that seat and saw her seating there folding her hand. Antara also sensed his presence. But she didn't bother to look at him. she was hell irritated with him after everything happened. "miscall!!" raghu said slowly. Antara moved her face to other side. raghu looked around and caught the coller of the man who was seating at the seat opposite to antara. "ee chal uth!! Mere ko idhar baithna hain!!" raghu said. Antara dug her head over her chest disappointedly. "arey bhai kya zabardasti hain?!!" the guy said struggling to free himself. "ee tingu!! Sidhe sidhe pichle seat mein ja kar baith. Apna dimag bahut jyada sanka huya hain!! agar fat gaya na toh..." Before raghu could finish his word conductor came to protest but looking at raghu's hard face and posture he didn't dared to speak much. Rather than he requested the passenger to change his seat with raghu. Raghu seat at opposite to antara and looked at her. antara was leaning back on the seat closing her eyes. "oye miss call!!" raghu called slowly. Antara didn't respond. "arey beheri ho gayi kya?! Sun na.." raghu said raising her voice a bit. Antara fixed the headphone in her both ears and folded her hand. "lo ye to sachmein beheri ho gayi!!..." raghu hovered.

Antara came down from the bus at last stoppage followed by raghu. Antara stepped forward with angry face. she didn't even know where she was heading to. "yeri ruk abto sun le..." raghu said from behind. Still antara was stubborn. It was enough for him. his patience broke and he hurried towards her. raghu caught antara's hand harshly and turned her towards him. "kya hain yeh haan?!! Itni akar kyun dikha rahi hain?!!" raghu asked. antara didn't answered and looked at him with cold look. "kab se kahe raha hoon ki baat sun baat sun... S**a picha karte karte kidhar se kidhar chala ayya... fir bhi nai sunti!!... kyun ek baat sun ne mein kya jayega?! Beheri ho jayegi kya mere baat sun ne se?!" he let out his all frustration at the moment. Antara was quite for all the moment. She let out her hand from his grip with a sudden jerk. He got startled a bit. She looked at his face, coldly. Raghu's attitude was suddenly taken aback by that cold look. "bolo kya batana hain?!" she asked in that same hard tone which she used when she was so mad. "woo woo main..." raghu suddenly forgot what was he trying to say. "bolo main sun rahi hoon!!" antara asked in calm voice. Raghu gathered his all courage. "arey... tu aise mat dekh mujhe... arey bole toh god promise... Apun ka wo matlab nhin tha... woo to zoya bhabi ne samajh liya... Ab dekh main kaan pakar ta hoon..." he was about to hold his ears and to his surprise she burst into huge laughter. "miscall!!..." he uttered in startled voice. "God!! Sakal dekho apna mirror pe!! Ekdum gadhe lag rahe ho!!" she said laughing. "tu... naraz nahi hain?!! toh ye sab kya tha..!!" he asked in startled voice. Antara controlled her kaugh and looked at his startled face with a mischievous look. "badla tha mr raghunath naik!! meri baat na maan ke siddiqui mansion jane ke liye!! Bahut shauk hain na tumhe mere piche ane ki. Lo maine tumhare shauk bhi pura kar diya!!" she answered. "kya?!!... tu... tut oh bahut shani nikli re..." raghu smirked. "acha to tum bhi to kam shaitan nahin ho!!" antara suddenly caught raghu's ear tightly. "ouch!! Ee miscall kar kya rahi hain!! chor?" rraghu winced in pain but still there was a glint of tease in her voicee. "kya kahe rahe the zoya didi se mere barein me?!! Haan?!!" she frowned. "galti ho gayi meri maa... ab chor de... baap re kitna jor se pakar rakha hain!!..kaan khichke nikalegi kya?!!" raghu said making a fake poor face. antara let out a naughty smile and left his ear. Both of them looked towards each other with naughty smile and then laughed out. After some moment of outburst raghu asked, "miscall... tu sachmein naraz nahin hain?!!...zoya bhabi ne jo kahan use sey?!..." he asked a little cautiously. "bilkul bhi nahi!!..." antara answered with that huge smile, "infact mujhe toh itni zoro ki hansi aa rahi thi ki main kya kahoon!!... pata nahin log kya kya soch lete hain... tum aur main?!!! Just impossible..." She finished. Suddenly raghu's eyes became a bit serious. He didn't know why when she used the word impossible he felt something hollow in his chest. "tere ko sachmein aisa lagta hain?!" he couldn't resist the question. "ohh come on raghu!!mujhe pata hain ki hum dono sirf ache dost hain... aur uss sey jyada kuch nahin... Aur ye baat main bahut achi tarah se jaan ti hoon ki tumahrari pasand ki larki jo koi bhi ho... WO MAIN TOH DEFFINATELY NAHIN HO SAKTI!!" she laughed while saying those words. Raghu didn't know why. He felt her laugh was hitting him inside. The word she said out loud made him numb for a moment. But why he didn't understand. Antara was busy in laughing so she didn't noticed the chink of pain appeared in his eyes when she uttered those words. "kyun?!! Kyun nahi ho sakti ho sakti?!" automatically the question came out of his mouth. But it was slow so antara couldn't listen the question properly. "kuch kaha tumne?!!" antara said stopping her laugh. "kya?!! Arey nahin kuch nahin!! Woo bas... pata nahin kya tha?!!" raghu scratched his head in confusion. Why did he felt that pain all of aa sudden. Man he must be get caught by some diseases. "pagal ho tum!! Chalo ab.." antara said. "par kidhar?!!" raghu asked. antara suddenly got alerted about the surroundings. God where were they?!! It's not the market near her home. "arey apun to tab se yahin kahenee ki koushis kar raha tha ki tune galat bus pakar li hain... ye bus apun ke ghar ke pass nain utar ti..." raghu said. "ohh god!!.. I have lost my mind!!" antara stroke her own head and laughed. She looked at surrounding and suddenly at a distance her eyes fell on a huge entrance of a garden. Automatically a smile escaped from her lips. She never thought that she would ever come back to that place again. "arey kya huya?!" raghu asked looking at her wondering face. "kuch nahin!! Raghu tum ek kaam karo. Wahan bus stop hain.. wahan se tumhe market tak bus mil jayegi yahin 10-15 min baad. Tum ghar chale jao main kuch der baad ati hoon." Antara said. "baad mein ati hoon?!!kya matlab hain tera?!.. ab tere dimag mein kya khiachri pak rahi hain." raghu asked. "kuch nahi pak rahi hain raghu... main wahan ja rahi hoon!!" antara indicated towards the entrance of garden. "udhar?!!" he became confused. "haan, actually woo meri aur meri familly ki bahut favourite place hain. bahut sari yadein juri hain iss jagah se..." antara's eyes got lost and she let out a very pleasant smile. "abb itni door aa gayi hoon too kuch der yahan time spend kar ne man kar raha hain, tum ghar wapas jaon. Don't worry, yahan mujhe koi khatra nahin hain." she said in assuring voice. "ooye madam!! Acha plan hain tera!! Tu idhar garden mein hawa khayegi aura pun udhar ghar baithke kya uss chota packet ke sath angutha chusega?! Bilkul naii... mere ko bhi le chal!!" raghu demanded. "tum?!! But raghu tum garden mein kya karoge?!! Waisey bhi tumhe inn sab cheezo mein interest nahi hain... tum bore ho jayoge." Antara said. "aur tu kya karegi haan?! Apne papa ko yaad kar ke akele akele royegi haan?!!" he asked with a firm voice. Antara didn't answer. Her eyes saddened a bit. "aur tere akhon ki pipeline mein jab leakage hoti hain na toh tanki khali hone ka naam nahin leta... tab kisi ko to pipe fix karna parega naah?!" he said simply. A smile appeared in her sad face. antara never noticed before that even his harsh words have so much concern hidden. Somehow she could understand her mumy's word for raghu. Raghu was indded a stone. But a very rare kind of stone who actually has a little heart also. And on those days, she was getting the glimpse of that stupid but a really rare golden heart. Raghu raised his eyebrow. "ab kis soch mein doob gayi?!!" he asked. "kuch nahin... chalo!!" antara smiled and forwarded towards the garden. raghu also followed her with a genuine smile.

Precap: she sensed his hot breath near her neck. She opened her eyes and twitched her head sidewise. He was seating there so close to her. Peeping above her neck and looking towards the front with an unreadable deep expression in his eyes.
