Chapter 29
Antara stopped near the shades of chinner trees and took a heavy breath holding her chest. raghu chased her allover in the garden. Antara was tired of running and her feet were aching. The place was quite and visitors of tulip garden generally didn't come at that corner. The tulip flowers were arranged around the chinner trees base and the quite sound of falling leaves making an uneven but really harmony. Antara suddenly felt he was all alone on the spot and he couldn't sense raghu's presence there. She quickly turned back with worried eyes. There was no sign of raghu anywhere. "raghu!!..." antara called him and looked everywhere. But not a single sign of him. "raghu, tum kahan ho?!!" she said a bit loudly and started to move quickly at opposite side to search for him. Where had he gone?! He didn't know the place properly at all. She just moved a few steps and suddenly a hand came out from the back of chinner tree and pulled her with full force. Antara's heart thudded in fear for a while and a scream came out of her mouth. She felt her captivator's hand twitched her hand around her back waist and hold that tightly and his other hand pinned her free palm to the chinner tree. She felt the warm sense of someone's hard feature touching her and at that instant her all worry got vanished. Cause she knew that touch so well. She had closed her eyes out of fear before but after her worry got vanished, she slowly opened her eyes and found raghu's coal black eyes, fixed towards her with a mischievous look and his face was holding a victorious smirk. Automatically antara's worried eyes gleamed again and her lips parted into smile. "bol... ab kaha bhagegi hnnn?!!" he asked her with same naughty glint in his tone. "raghu choro mujhe...!!" antara started to struggle in his grip but still that smile was playing on her face. "nahi chora too?!!.." his frown increased and as much as she was trying to free the hand which he was holding on his waist, his grip was becoming tighter and his hand squeezing her delicate wrist in the whole process. Antara rolled her eyes playfully, "dekhon ye cheating hain haan... tumne jaan bojhke mujhe pakar ne ke liye ye sab kiya naa?!!" she asked asked. "haan kiya cheating too?!!... apun tere ko pakar to liya naa?!! Bol fir pani maregi mujhe?!! Fir mere se bhagne ki kousis karegi?" he asked gripping her delicate feature more tightly that it almost impossible for her to free herself. They didn't notice that in that process their distance were decreasing inch by inch and they were coming closer. "haan bilkul karoongi! Tumhe kya lagta hain ki main tumse darti hoon?!!" antara said playfully and tried to jerk out her wrist from his grip but the situation worsen. "yahin to suru se problem hain! ki tu mere se darti hi nahin!!" his smirk broadened. "haan main tumse pahelee bhi nahi darti thi aur ab bhi nahi darti hoon samjhey?!! Aur tumhe kya lagta hain ki main tumse chootkaa nahi paa sakti?!!" she smirked and again jerked herself in his hold. "koushis karke dekh miscall... apun ke pass pura din hain... tu try marta jaa...!!" he said playfully and tightened his hands on her wrist. She tried hard to free herself but all in vain. Raghu was just tightening his hold and making the situation harder. She knew that, she couldn't win over his physical strength. But still she was always tough one. Not going accept her defeat soon. Raghu smirked again. But true to say, he liked her like that! That thing made her who she was actually. After a lot more vague tries she at last let that go and her feature became calm on his grip. Closing her eyes she let out a deep breath which brushed on his chest making his heartbeat uneven again. Automatically his face shifted an inch closer to her. "kya huya...tahk gayi kya?!!" he asked playfully still pinning her to the tree, "thik hain tu kuch der saans le le fir try marna suru kar... mere ko koi problem nahi hain...!!" he finished. "chup raho!!..." she wanted to made a angry tone but laughed out instead, "okk this hain... tum jeet gaye... ab toh mujhe jane do...pls!" she said making a poor but cheer full face. "chorta hoon par... badle mein tujhe mere ko kuch dena parega.. mere jeet ka inaam chahiye mere ko.." he said demanding. "ab kya chahiye tumhe raghu?!" she asked. "idhar dekh!!" he commanded. Antara looked towards his eyes and suddenly she noticed that there was just a few inches distant between their face. She became startled all of a sudden with the closeness. She never saw his face so close before. The proximity created an unknown effect on her. a felt her breath hitched for a moment. And when his palm caressed gently on her wrist she suddenly felt her heart thudded loudly and her throat became dry all of a sudden. Raghu noticed her wide eyes and she could felt her shivering a bit in his hold. He didn't know why but it felt good to him that he was affecting her in a way. He even noticed that she was not blinking and looking wide eyes to his face. "Antara!!.." he slowly uttered in a very deep tender voice. Antara seemed to be coming out of blue. Her trance broke by his call. "kya?!!" she asked. "mere ko udhar jana hain... jo tera favourite jagah hain..." he said in that same tone. "mera favourite place?!! Tum kis ki baat kar rahe ho?!!" she asked in confusion. "wohi baraf ka maidan jiske barei mein tu humesha ajji se kaha karti thi..." he said. "baraf ka maidan!!!... kahin tum Gulmarg ki baat to nahin kar rahe ho?!!" she asked. "haan wohich... Tu har roj ajji se keheti thin a usss jagah ke barein mein? Mujhe wohi jana hain..." he said. "hmmm... Par ek baat bataon...!!" antara frowned a bit. "maine ajji ko gulmarg ke barein mein bata ti thi ye tumhe kaise pata?!! Tum toh wahan nahi rahete the jab main ajji se ye sab kaheti thi!!" she asked. she asked increasing her frown. "tere ko itna kuch jaan ne ki kya pari hain hn??!!..." he tried to divert the topic. "sidhe point pe aa mere ko le ke jayegi ki nahin?!" he asked firmly. "pahele mujhe jane to do...!!" antara said. "pahele bol ha ya naa..." raghu demanded. "raghu please mujhe ab sach mein dard ho raha hain...!!" antara said in a poor voice. Then raghu noticed her wrists that were held so tightly under his palms. He suddenly felt guilty. In his own excitement he forgot that he was hurting her. But she didn't even complain at all. Slowly he took back his hand and freed her. antara held her wrist and rubbed that. Raghu was looking at her with questioning eyes. He wanted to ask her if it pained a lot, but he was feeling so bad for hurting her that he couldn't even dared to talk. He looked to the other side with saddened eyes. Antara rubbed her wrist a while and looked at him. the grief she saw in his eyes made her amused a bit. She didn't even complain or accused him of hurting herself. Even it was not at all paining that much. Steal he was feeling that bad?!! His concern for her touched her somehow. Without saying a word she moved forward. He was startled for a moment by her sudden move and he thought she was angry again. he didn't even dared to call her. after a few steps she suddenly stoped and turned back to his questioning eyes with a frown. "ab kis baat ki wait kar rahe ho?..." she said in normal voice. He looked at her in confused look. "iradha badal gaya kya?!ab tumhe nahi dekhna hain kya baraf ka maidan?!!" she asked with a sudden smile. his eyes gleamed with joy as he understood that she was not angry at all. "miscall tu..." he tried to say but antara's chirpy vouce resisted him. "jaldi karo... waisey bhi der do ghante lagengey.. der ho jayegi to kuch nahi dekh paoge..." she hurried up and moved forward. Raghu rushed to her with a happy grin and came at her side. "miscall!!..." he said in a happy voice. "hmmm.." she stopped and looked to him. "tu thik hain na... bole to teri kalayi pe chot to nahin ayi na?!.." he asked in a slow voice looking carefully at her wrist. "raghu!!" antara titled her head, "maine kaha na kuch nahin huya... jane do na...!!" she said in assuring voice. "tu jhoot to nahin bol rahi hain na?!" his voice was doubt full. He thought his hold might be too much for her delicate skin. "uff tum bhi na... ye dekho!!" antara lifted her wrist, "dekho kahin pe bhi koi chot ka nishan nahi hain... ab tasalli ho gayi tumhe?! Ya fir x-ray report lake dikhaon?!" she asked with a smile. "arey nahin re... apun wo... sorry!!! Tere ko itne jor se pakarne ka nahi tha..." he apologized with a puppy face holding a cute smile. his childlike nature always made her smile widely which happened on that moment too. "ho gaya tumhara sorry kahena?!! Ab chalo please bahut der ho rahi hain...!!" without giving him another chance to speak antara dragged his hand. He followed her lead silently with a huge smile on his face. raghu always use to wander that why that place named gulmarg made her so spellbound. He didn't mentioned that even in those days of hatered he couldn't afford himself to listen to ajji and antara's chat now and then.
Meanwhile at Mumbai, Naik sadan.
Beera looked at the box kept on the table. The box was not so huge but created with a very strange material which he ever experienced. In his mortal life he never saw any harder metals than irons but the metal of that box seemed much harder and shiny than irons. And it was sealed in such a complicated manner that even air couldn't pass inside. That thing was delivered from the foreign country last night with some heavy amounts of forbidden drugs. Those drugs were also supplied by DM in various countries of Asia and also in INDIA. At last her illegal drug business and arms supply business to dealers and terrorist made her wealth. Beera and some other man knew about this secret business of DM. she didn't informed raghu about that business. She knew really well that even raghunath is ready to give his life ffor her, when it came to his morals, he was not ready to compromise with bad. He had become DM's protective shield from the world because he thought her as an ideal lady who helped poor people a lot. And when her mask would fall in front of him he would leave her at that instant so DM never mentioned about his secret works to him. "samhalke le jana issey... Tumhe pata bhi nahi kitni khatarnaak cheez hain isme..." DM said indicating towards the sealed box. "mai aap se kuch kahena tha... baat ye hain ki main nahin ja paunga.." Beera said in stern voice. "beera, tum mere baat ka khilap kar rahe ho..." DM asked in cold voice. "maaf karna mai... par mujhe meri beti muniya ke pass jane ka man kar raha hain... bahut din ho gaye ussey dekhe huye..." beera said. "beera humne kaha na ki muniya meri zimmidari hain... wo delhi ke boarding school mein bahut khus hain... tum bas apna kaam karo aur muniya ko mujhpe chor do... haan par agar tum mera kaam nahi karoge to muniya ka kya hoga iska main kuch nahi bata sakti..." DM said with a smirk. Beera understood that he had no other choice. "jee mai... aap jaisa keheti hain waisa hi hoga..." beera said and went out of the room. DM smirked, "maaf karna beera par abhi tum muniya se nahin mil sakte... kyun ki wohi tumhari kamzori hain jo mere hath mein hain... raghu ke tarah tumbhi mere ek bahut khass piyada ho... tum dono ko nahin chor sakti main.. kisi bhi haal mein,.." her evil smirk broadened.
Precap: "maine kahan tha tumse nahin hoga..." She giggled. "oye chup kar..." he said in irritated voice brushing away snowflakes from his dress.
