Part 19
Raghu stared at his screen...He was confused...Antara Never..N-E-V-E-R...Hid anything from Raghu...Se told him everything...He was wondering what this 'Raaz' could be..although he knew His Miss Kaul cannot do anything bad.But still what could that secret be?...He walked back to Antara...
Raghu: Miss Kaul...Apun Ko Tujhsey Baat Karni Hai...
Antara: Ha..Karlay Nah...Lykin Iskay Baad...
Raghu: Kiskay Baad?..
The Lights Go Out...And The Spotlights Go On...Raghu was standing in the middle of the spotlight...He looked around for Antara when he heard somone singing...He Looked towards the direction of the voice...It was coming fro the stage...
Raghu: Antara??
Antara: Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear (name)
Happy Birthday to You.
From good friends and true,
From old friends and new,
May good luck go with you,
And happiness too.
Raghu smiled while Antara walked up to him...She waved her hand to someone to bring the cake in...The cake was a two layered chocolate cake which read...'Happy Birthday Raghu'..
Raghu cut the cake and fed Antara who did the same to Raghu...They all took turns to feed each other...After the celebrations...Raghu took Antara aside...Raghu pinned her to the wall...
Raghu: Yeh sab tune apun kay liyay kiya...?
Antara: Ha...Tumnay ujhey Ek Bohat bara suprise diya..To menhay bhi tumko suprise diya...
Antara moved forward and kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear...
Antara: Happy Birthday...
Raghu snuggled into her hair..and pecked on her neck...Then he remembered that message...He Realesed Antara And Looked Deep Into Her Eyes...
Antara: Kya Huwa...
Raghu: Mujhey Jana Hai...
Antara: RAGHU!!!..Aisah Nahi Kehte...
Raghu: To Kaisay Kehte Hai?
Antara: Meh Aata Hu...
Raghu holds her hands...
Raghu: Acha Baba...meh Aata Hu...
Antara smiles...Raghu moves forward and kisses Antara's Cheek...'I Love You'...He Whispered Into Her Ear...'I Love You Too'...Raghu moves back and heads out leaving Antara behind...He Drives As Fast as he could and reaches XYZ cliffs...He Gets Out Of Jeep And Stands There Alone..There was no-one there..Was the message Hoax?...He Was going to get back into his jeep..When he heard someone laughing...
Voice: So We Meet Again...
Raghu: Kon Hai??
A man walks out from the dark...Raghu's Eyes Widened...He hadn't seen him in so many months...What does he want now?...Raghu gritted his teeth...'SATYA'...
Satya: Ha...Meh...Kyu Dar gaya?..
Raghu: Dar..Aur Meh???...Tuney Apun ko yaha kyu bulaya?..
Satya: Mazay kay liyay...
Raghu: Maza?...Jab Khoon Bai gah..Phir Maza Ai Gah..Mujhey...
Satya: Ohhh...Raghu Ko Gussa Ah Gaya..Meh To Dar Gaya...Aur Miss Kaul...
Raghu: HEY!!..USKA NAAM BHI MAAT LEHNAH...
Satya: Kyu...Mujhey lagah..Tu Usay sirf ek raat ki liyay rakay gah...Phir Wo single...
Raghu: HEY!!!!!...
Raghu walks up to Satya and punches him...Satya glares at him and punches him back...The first punch glanced Raghu's chin. He noticed too late that it was a feint, though, when the second punch doubled him over and expelled the last bit of choked air.
It was a heck of a shot. Outside of having the wind knocked from him, which he always hated, Raghu noticed a fair amount of pain with the gutshot, which was something he wasn't used to. A hit to the face, yes, or even the kidney...but the gut shouldn't have been much more than discomfort, if that.
Fortunately, he was used to it all. A veteran of bar fights in four states and countless cities, even being out of air was something Raghu knew how to deal with.
He stood straight, eyes bulging with rage, and stared at his opponent"some punk college boy with a smart mouth"right in his shifty little eyes. Satya tried to stand tall, but the wind didn't allow him. Raghu had him where he wanted him.
"S****e...teri to..." Raghu took a lurching step forward with each word. On the third, he swung:
The blow felt too sluggish. Raghu knew the second he launched it. The spry, smirking Satya ducked under it. Before Raghu could even register the dodge, however, another body shot, this one to his ribs, sent fresh ripples of pain through his torso. He didn't fall"he made absolutely sure he did not fall"but it was a lot closer than he'd have liked. In other bars, where he was more well-known, his reputation would have already taken a beating whether he won the fight or not.
Satya went in for another shot. Raghu shoved him off. Seeing Satya scoot back so far against the weight of it gave him a second wind. He covered the distance between them. Threw three more punches that did land. Satya fell.
Then, he stood again.
It was unreal. Between the pain in his guts and ribs and the general confusion (some would call it being punch drunk), the sight of Satya on his feet after the patented Raghu left-right-left was not something he wanted to see. He threw a haymaker that Satya ducked but didn't parry, then another that Satya swung under again"and responded in turn with an uppercut.
Click. The sound of Raghu's upper and lower rows of teeth making unplanned contact sickened him. Still, he kept his feet. He had to. Falling down was not"
Raghu went in for another shot...Satya glared at him...
Satya: RUK!!!!...
Satya pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed at him...'Bye-Bye'...'Miss Kaul Meri'...
Raghu: Teri To...
Raghu ran up to him and pulled the gun down...A huge fight started again due to the gun...Satya tried to shoot...But Raghu stopped Him...'BOOOMMM'
Satya And Raghu's Eye's Widened...They both lifted their hands and saw blood...Satya looked down..But didn't see a shot mark...So that means 'Raghu'...Satya started laughing...
Satya: To Akir meh Jeet Giyah...
Raghu held his stomach...He fell to the ground...'Miss Kaul'...
Satya: Wah...Tumharay akri lafz bhi Miss Kaul hai...
Raghu's head fell back as he hitthe ground...Satya looked around thinking of where to hide the body...He drops the gun and drags Raghu's body to the edge of the cliff...And throws it into the water...Satya runs back into his car and drives off...
Hours had past...But there was still no sign of Raghu...Antara paced around the her bedroom worried...
MM: Yedi tu chinta maat kar...Bhai wapas ah jai gah...
Antara: MM...Kitnay gantay ho gai hai..wo aaya kyu nahi...
Just then she got a call...She saw raghu's name flashing on the screen..
Antara: Hello...Raghu...Raghu tum kaha ho?...mujhey bohat dar lag raha hai...
Man: Miss...Kya yeh Miss Kaul hai?..
Antara: Ji..eh hi hu..Aap kon?..
Man: Main Inspector Raj...
Antara: Inspector...Kya...Aap kay paas Raghu ka phone kyu hai?...
Inspector: Humay kabar mili hai ki yah ek khoon huwa...Au humay yaha ek gun mili hai...Uspar khoon hai..Jo Raghu kay blood sey match ho tah hai..To hamay shak hai ki..
Antara: NAHI!!!!...AISAH NAHI HO SAKTAH..YEH JHOOT HAI...
Antara falls to the floor...MM Picks up the phone that fell on the floor...The inspector eplained everything to him...and they found finger prints on the gun that matched with Satya's...MM Gritted his teeth...A tear escaped his eyes...
He bent down and held Antara's Shoulder...Antara got up and walked out of the door...Geet went After her but MM stopped her and explained to her what happened...Geet hugged MM rying to control her tears..

Antara walked onto the road..It was dark now and was raining...Antara walked across the road...Her eyes were swollen due to excessive tears...She closed her eyes and remembers their last conversation...
'Mujhey Jana Hai...'
Raghu held her hands and let go while going away...
Antara shot opens her eyes and See's Raghu standing in a distance...She wipes her tears and smiles...She runs towards him...She hugs hi..Never to let go...She kissed his neck and hugged him tighter..She slowly opens her eyes and finds herself alone...She looks around and tries to find Raghu...'RAGGHHUUU!...
She walks another distance and reaches the temple...She sits on the temple steps and starts crying her heart out...
Antara: KYU!!!...BAPPA..KYU KIYA AAP NEY AISAH?...MAINAY HAMESHA ACHA KIYA...KABHI BURA NAHI..AUR RAGHU BHI DIL SEY ACHA THAH..PHIR KYU???...
Antara felt a hand squeeze her shoulder...'Raghu'...She looks behind and see's MM...Antara jumps up and hugs MM...
Antara: Kyu?..Meray saath hi aisah kyu hota hai?...Jab bhi main kisi sey pyaar karti hu..wo mujhey chor kay chalay jatay hai...Pehley Papa...Phir Raghu..Kyu MM...
MM: Yedi..Ronah band kar...
Antara: MM...Raghu ki B..Bo...Body?
MM: Nahi mili...Wo Keh rahay hai...ki wo pani meh pehki giy thiy...SATYA!!!...Main usay nahi choru gah...
Antara: Satya nah aisah kiya...
MM: Hai..Ar usay giraftaar ki gaya hai..Life sentence...
MM took Antara home and finally made her sleep...MM went out and flowed the tears he hid from Antara..He couldn't see her in that state...And His Bhai..His Everything..Was snatched from him...His EVERYTHING...
