"arey bhai ye shetty ke gundo ki pitayi kar kar ke hath mein dard ho gaya.maar khata hain itna phir bhi roj ata hain building ke kaam mein lafra karne!!" mach mach said from the side. both raghu and mach mach were hovering at the tea stall of basti. "arey kya hain na mach mach humare hathon ki pitayi khaye bina un logon ko khana hajam nahi hota..." raghu said with a toothy smile. "sahi bola bhai tu... pet dekha hain tune shetty ke? Biwi ghar mein khilata hain aur humse maar kha ke hajam karwata hain..." MM burst out in laughter. "sahi kaha tune mach mach!!" raghu joined him in laughter. They suddenly observed arshad miyan on the road looking towards kaul house's balcony. "arey ye arshad miyan ko kya huya?" MM asked in confusion. "aur hona kya hain?! Zarror noori aunty ko taak rahe hongey..." raghu said. He left mach mach and went to arshad. "arey kya arshad bhai..." he patted on arshad's shoulder. "arey raghu tum?!" arshad asked in surprise. "kya arshad bhai. Itne saloon se dekh rahi hoon noorie aunty ke balcony ki taraf taak te rehete ho. Abb apni love story ka kuch speed pakro! Kuch to kaho noorie aunty se.." raghu said. "who raghu..." Arshad showed a paper to him. "ye kya hain?!!" mach mach who just arrived at the spot asked arshad. "woo letter hain... Noor ke liye..." arshad said sheepishly. "kya?!! Loveletter...!!" Both of them let out a quite laugh. "haan, lekin kaise doon... mauka hi nahi milta..." arshad said. "arshad bhai tum se ye sab nahin hoga! Mujhe do, main noori aunty ko passs kar doongi!!" raghu said. "thik hain raghu!! Tumhe pata nahin..." but arshad couldn't finish her word and raghu interrupted him. "arey arshad miyan senti mat banao yaar... tumne kaal free ka bara pauv diya tha usi ka hisab chukta kar raha hoon!!" raghu said with a huge grin. "tum log bhi na..." arshad sighed and went on his path. "bhai letter to le liya, ab noorie aunty ko laise dega?! Uss kaul house ka darwaja to humare liye LOC hain..." MM said. "LOC mein bhi locha hota hain mach mach. Udhar dekh." He indicated towards the back balcony of kaul house. "noorie aunty ka kamra to wohich hain na?!" MM said in a confused voice. "haan aur uss balcony mein jo darwaja hain na uski lock toota huya hain!" raghu smirked. "owww!!!...to kya tu lock repair karne ja raha hain bhai?" MM asked. "mach mach!! Jyada mach mach nahin karne ka..." Raghu said in a harsh tone and went towards naik sadan. "ab maine kya kaha?!! Arey bhai sun toh!!" MM ran behind raghu.

"apa, main ground floor ke ghar pe adjust kar leti. Aap ne apna karma kyun chor diya mere liye?" antara asked looking towards apa. Ishan, apa and antara all were chatting in noor apa's room. "bas kar antara mujhe pata hain ki tujhe ye karma kitna pasand hain!! Itne dino baad ghar ayi hain aur main tere liye ek kamra nahin chor sakti main?!" noor apa let out her huge loving smile. "aww thank you apa! You are the best!!" antara hugged apa lovingly. "aur humari anatra bhi best hain!" apa said. "apa that's not fare! Maine aap logo se kitni baar kaha tha ki mujhe ye room de do. Mujhe bahut pasand hain, par aap ne kabhi nahi diya. Didu ne kaha bhi nahin par mom, buya aur aap ne milkar didu ko ye room de diya." Ishan said with a puppy face. "ooo laat governor! Bahut ho gaya!! Ab jao aur parayi karo, dinbhar to sirf masti karte rehete ho!!" noor apa rolled her eyes to ishan. Ishan made a poor face. "aww, it's ok ishan! You can share this room with me." Antara winked. "really?!" ishan's face got brightened up. "yup!!! Really." Antara said. "weeeiiieee, I am going to tell mom. Antara didu and me are sharing rooms!" ishan rushed out of the room in excitement. "pagla kahika, antara kya zarurat thi in sab ki. Dekhna ye ab pura din mere sar pe nachta rahega!!" apa said. "it's ok apa, don't worry. Ishan ko handle karna mujhe achi tarah se ata hain." Antara assured apa.

At evening,

There was an invitation for the whole kaul family. Invitation for noor apa's relative's wedding. Everyone was ready to go but antara denied as she was feeling so exhausted after the long journey from Kolkata to Mumbai. "are you sure beta?! You really don't feel like going out there?!" geeta asked with a concerned voice. "yes momma, sorry! I am too much exhausted and wanna spent some time in peace. I am not feeling like to go in a crowded place like party or wedding ceremony!" antara said. "okk beta!! But can you live all alone here?!" geeta was a bit worried. "yup momma! No probs at all!!" antara assured. "antara please take care okk! We may be late!!" saroj said. "okk mumy, but tell me one thing, did you noticed the lock of the balcony door my room is broken?!" antara said. "ohhh yeah!! Don't worry beta, we will repair that tomorrow for sure!!" govind said. "didu be carefull!! There is so many thieves around this area!!" ishan teased antara. "what?!!" antara's eyes wided. "stop it ishan!!" saroj scolded him, "antara don't worry about that! He is just joking!!" she finished. All of them left and antara quickly checked the locks of doors and windows. Ishan's word really got into her nerves and she was always a bit worried about the thief things as her buya's house in Kolkata was also situated at a place full of thieves. Each and every day it had became their daily habit to lose some valuable things to those thieves' gang!! But to her misfortune the lock of the balcony door couldn't be fixed anyhow. She had to keep alert eyes to that door. Antara thought.

It was almost 11 pm at night, the whole basti had became quite. Only the sounds of dogs barking could be heard from the lanes of basti. Raghu didn't knew that noor apa was not present at the house. So he was being prepared to stalk in their house to deliver arshad's letter to her. He thought that he would silently go inside and keep the letter but he didn't know that destiny had another plan. Meanwhile antara came inside the room with a huge stick in her hand. Geeta and others didn't arrive yet. So she thought better to keep that stick near her as she was worried about the door. She was feeling so odd. Like something was going to happen. It was making her worried. She tightly grabbed the stick in her hand and slipped inside the blanket. But she couldn't sleep. All the time her attention was driving towards the door. At the outside of kaul house, raghu was going up to the balcony with help of a ladder. Antara was feeling a bit sleepy then suddenly she heard the slow knock in the door and her wwhole feature jerked up. The room was dark. She was about to switch on the light but she resisted herself. She took the stick in her hand tightly. In half light half darkness she saw a fig coming inside pushing the door. At the moment she jumped out of the bed and threw the stick towards the shadow fig. "ouch!!!..." the trespasser winced in pain. Antara quickly took the stick from the floor and jumped and waved towards the man without giving him a chance. Another groan escaped from his face as the stick fell on his shoulder. "chor chor!!" antara screamed out of her breath. "arey chup... apun chor nahi hain..." the stranger said at last. "you idiot!! I won't leave you today. Chori karta hain ghar mein?! Kabhi antara kaul se pala nahin para na... aaj nahin chorugi." Antara continued to bit the guy in darkness with the huge stick in hand and the guy continued to make pain full sound and tried to defend her danda by his hand. . Raghu was shocked by the situation and he couldn't even understand what's going on. He could only feel that someone was beating him badly and no doubt, a girl!! But what just she said?!! Antara Kaul?!! Miss kaul?!! "tumhe pata nahin ki tumne yahan ghuske kutni bari galti ki hain... itne salon se Belghariya (a place in kolkata) ke chor gang ko marte aa rahi hoon aur tumhe mere hi ghar mein chori karna tha?!!" antara continued her action. "abbey chup vey..." suddenly raghu grabbed her stick tightly. "choro mera danda..." antara jerked her hand. "nahi chorta!! Bahut ho gaya tera uchal kud. Ab shanty se meri baat sun!!" raghu tried to say but at that moment someone switched on the light and both of them froze at the spot. Raghu was surprised to find the girl standing in front of her wearing night dress and a huge stick in hand. Her surprised hazel eyes were fixed on her face. He didn't take a single second to recognize her. "ms kaul!!" he uttered very slowly. Antara suddenly reminded something. A very old memory of her childhood which she had forgotten long back!! "tum!!" suddenly both of them got out of her trance by a third voice and looked towards the source of sound. They were startled to c saroj standing at the doorstep. "mumy!!" antara rushed to her. "antara!!! What happened?!!" saroj asked looking at her worried face. "mumy!! Choor!!! "antara said and looked towards raghu. "raghu tum yahan?!!" saroj was in great shock. "haan aunty!! Ek apun hi toh hain footi kismet wala jo aap logon ke pagal khane mein ayein... Baap re kitna maar ti hain!!" raghu said looking towards antara's confused face with an irritated look. "par tum yahan kar kya rahe ho?!!" saroj asked. "arey aunty arshad miyan ne apne pyare noori aunty ke liye love letter bheja tha... Arshad miyan ko to aap jaan te hi hain.. to mujhe hi postman ban na para... bas chupchap ye letter rakh ke khisak ne hi wala tha ki ye yeri mere pe danda leke sawar ho gayi!!!" raghu said. "he bhagwan!!" saroj stroke her own head. "tum bhi na!! agar arshad ka letter that oh mujhe de dete!! Main noor ko de deti... pata nahi tuhare dimag mein kya chalta raheta hain... aur antara!! Ye chor nahi hain... ye raghu hain!! Tujhe yaad nahin bachpan mein tere sath khela karta tha..." saroj said. Antara's eyes widened as she remembered those days. The little boy, raghu, who never get bored to irritate her and do pranks and leg pulling of hers! "ee rasgulle ki tarah akh kyun bana rahi hain?!! Bangal mein ja kar kuch jyada hi rasagulla ban gaya hain... sakal se bhi aur dimag se bhi!!" he stated in irritated voice. "kya?!!! Kya kaha tumne?!!" antara's head boiled up. "arey chup ho jao tum dono!!! Acha huya ki main paheli gari se aa gayi warna baki log agar tum dono ko aise dekh lete toh khair nahin. Raghu wo letter mujhe do. Aur ab tum yahan se jao!! Didi aur baki log kuch der baad hi ate hongey aur tab main kuch samhal nahi paungi!!" saroj said. "thik hain aunty ji.. abhi apun chalta hain.. aur haan yeri, yaad rakhna teere iss maar ka badla apun zarror lega..." he said and before antara could react he rushed towards the balcony throwing the letter on bed. "you idiot!!!" he heard antara's scream while getting down the ladder.

Precap: "tu mere liye hamesha miss kaul hi thi aur agey bhi wohi rahegi samjhi MISS KAUL!!" he made a face to her and antara just took a deep breath to compose her.
