PART 1:
The sky is slowly lightnening up as the sun rose in the east while setting in the west of other side of the world. Around 5:00 in the morning, Nayak Wadi a street in Mumbai set aside from the loudness of the city where the roads are still dark and there was such a silence that the chirping of birds could be heard throughout as a wakeup call. This silence broke when the main door of a house clung open and a girl of age about early twenties wearing grey coloured tracks paired up with pink T-shirt and matching sneakers and headphones, had her hair tied up as a
pony. She looked stunning with big eyes and wide smile on her face as she welcomed the new fresh day. Her voice said "Ma, I am going for a jog" addressing her mother when from inside came voice saying "Antra, Come back before 7:00 today". Antra passed the dimly lit roads while listening to the tracks playing on her ipod jogging the way which led to the Sanjivni park which was a mile to the east of Nayak Wadi.
She reached the entrance gate of the park jogging when another girl joined her who was completely dressed up as a boy with bobbed hair and she could only be guessed as a girl when she usually starts her blah blah. She as usual started her funny gossips but she has to stop it soon as she received a serious glare from Antra which followed "Jikky chup chap se Jog kar yar." Jikky understandingly remained silent for a long time plugging onto her headphones until a third person, an unknown guy joined them on Jikky's side. Jikky now and then glared at that guy as if she was observing him and when caught used to give a fake smile whereas Antra just ignored everything else and was jogging so vigorously as if she has to win a medal in Olympics. After few minutes of silence that guy slowly tapped on Jikky's shoulder sighning as to talk to her and they both slowed down. When before that guy could even utter a single word Jikku started "I know you want to know about that girl" she said pointing at Antra. Then again without listening to what he was going to say Jikku started "You have a very big risk in following her and do you want to face that? I think you are going to say yes as you seem to be daring and dashing." The guy stares at her with an exclamatory expression over his face. Jikky asks him "But I think you want to know what that risk is..." with a cute smirk on her face as if she was enjoying this whole thing. When the guy nodded hesitantly wondering what she is upto, Jikky started "Did you ever hear the name Raghu Veer Singh." On hearing this name that guy had flashes of boxing match when a guy was knocked out within very less time and he curiously asked Jikky "Are you talking about THE INTER-CLZ KICK-BOXING CHAMPION for the past five years." For which Jikky replied "Ha then I think you know him and if you know him you must also know that this girl about whom you were asking is his beau." Then that guy just wanting to escape from this situation smartly said "Arey yar chill maar. I was just taking a chance. Forget about me and continue ur jog." After saying this that guy left when Jikky blurted out her laughter when she was paused by a tap on her shoulder by Antra who seemed to complete a round and came back to the same spot. Jikky was relieved as she knew that Antra din't hear her talk with that guy as she was completely normal which she wouldn't be on hearing Raghu's name.

Antra started doing her strict drill when she got flashes of what had happened that day
-------*******FLASHBACK TWO MONTHS BACK*******-------
The climate, surroundings everything was normal like as usual. Antra and Raghu came to Sanjivni park for their daily routine with which they start their day together. As they were jogging an unusual silence was in between them by which Raghu was agitated as that kind of situation was new for them. Raghu thought "I will watch you uptowhen can you stop talking." He just kept on glaring at Antra while she remained silent as if she was ignoring him but still jogging by his side. Suddenly she blurted out "Stop glaring at me. I am not going to change my decision as now
you are not affecting me anymore." On hearing this Raghu's anger broke out and at an instant pulled her off by the jogging path pinning her to a sideby tree where noone else surrounding could view them. Raghu pinned both her hands to either sides of the tree and at that time he has mixed emotions of anger, pain, fear of losing something very important which were clearly portraying by his eyes. Antra could clearly feel his emotions as she was also
going through the same. They stared in each others eyes intensely for an unknown time until both Raghu's and Antra's eyes were welled up when a small tear rolled down on her cheek and Raghu immediately turned back fearing his tears would be seen by Antra which were by this time bursting out. He hurriedly moved away from that place who was followed by a concerned Antra. He reached to the public tap and sprang water with force on his face so as to stop his tears or atleast hide them from Antra even though he knew that he cannot hide anything from her. He then started packing his drill bag and meanwhile when he just had a glance at Antra he found Antra staring at him for which he stated "I know that I can't hide anything from you just like you. No need to stare at me like that. I am fine. You don't have to worry about me. Let's go home. Moms are waiting for us."

-------*******FLASHBACK ENDS*******-------
Antra's thoughts were disturbed by a phone call when she thought "Maybe its Raghu. After two months just like me he also may be is thinking to patch up again." With that thought she had a cute blush on her face and immediately grabbed her mobile but her happiness disappeared as she was disappointed on reading the name of incoming call which was none other than her mom. She hesitantly answered the call as she remembered her mom told her to be at home by 7:00 and now its 6:55 and spoke out "I started ma. Just on the way. I am very nearby. I am able to see our basti's board." Saying this she cut the call and immediately asked Jikky to start and they both hurriendly ran off on their path.
