Heyy e1...thanks a lot for all your lovely comments...
I am so glad that you guys liked last two updates..
really appreciated..
Here is the next part of the FF...hope you'll like it..This update is very special to me..as i told you I am new in writing..so i din't know how did i write but i tried my best to present the emotions in this update..Happy Reading... :)
Antara's dialogue: Pink color
Raghu's Dialogue: Blue color
Other's dialogues: green colour.
A few days passed liked that only.. Now Rantara met once or twice a day or they had an eye contact..Both give a genuine smile to each other and say 'Hi'..but there was not that much of communication. Raghu also din't start it as he got to know about her nature in last two meetings that she don't talk much. He din't want her to feel uncomfortable. SO he remained quite too... but they used to say 'hello' and 'how are you' by now...
They both scored good in their assignment. So Antra said a thanks to him that because of their team work she could score very good marks. Raghu smiled and said, "your welcome".
---------
After a few days professor asked students to form their project groups (Max 4 and min 3 members in each group) as it was mid of the semester and they should start working on their final project. Most of the students combined their assignment groups and Antara was alone again.
Antara asked to some girls to form a group but all were set as they combined 2-2 of assignment groups. Antara was pretty sad by now. Raghu was looking at her since last 20 minutes, He went to his friends and asked them to make a group of 3 so that he will get one guy with him. "Sid (introducing new guy in the FF...but not that important to think about :P )" asked him, "who is the third one"..He said.."I'll let you know" and left from the class...
He went directly to library and waited for Antara there and passed sometime in looking for the books. So that she won't think that he was waiting for her. Antara came to the library after 15 minutes and took a corner seat. Raghu also took one book and sit opposite to Antara as if haven't seen her.
After a few minutes they both had an eye-contact and passed a genuine smile to each other... n then Raghu just behaved liked if he suddenly remembered something.. he looked at ceiling and said "yes!!!",
"Heyy Antara, may i ask you for a favour." asked sitting on his chair far from Antara..
Antara: "Yeah!!..please"
Librarian: "Silence!!!"
Raghu doing some ishare to ANtara..She din't get anything so she said "I am not getting what you saying.. can you please come here and talk or let me come there.."
Raghu stood up from his chair and sat besides Antara... "Have you formed your project group...actually what happened na..." and explained Antara's problem as his with a puppy face...
Antara wasn't sure about what to say, her problem was being solved so easily, but she din't understand why the hell she is feeling goosebumps with the thought that they both will work together..again..
Raghu: "Antara, It's okay if you have made your group...no problem..I'll ask someone else.."
Antara: "No it's not like that..actually I had the same problem..but i thought you would have already made your group..so i din't ask you.." she lied to him...
"but still we are only two and pro...".. Rgahu cut her in between and told her about Sid and said "that's not an issue..there is a friend of mine.. SId..I'll talk to him.."
"okay sooo...cool..we will give our names as a team.. thank you so much Antara...I gotta go then..I'll inform Sid so that he won't be asking to other students"..n now Raghu lied.. ;)
He said bye and left in hurry..
Antara was surprised and happy too..she thought I was supposed to be the one to say thanks to him...she smiled and thanked to him and continued her studies...
When Raghu came out of the library he smiled and thought.. "i know you at least this much Miss Call,,,you can make a group of one student only..but would never asked anyone for help..but it's okay..i can do this much at least...although you don't know about this...but your welcome..."
---------
one month passed like that only..Sid, Raghu and Antara started working together...they used to have regular meeting twice a week... and now Antara was very comfortable with both Raghu and Sid...
Now she din't feel that much awkward because now Sid was also working with them...so she had a little bit control on herself...
By this time Antara has realised that she likes Raghu..she becomes restless if she doesn't see him in class.. She started admiring him when she came to know that it was Raghu who asked his friends to make a group like that before talking to ANtara...
Some times they all three sit together in class and library.. now ANtara also started to take care of her looks..but everything was just as it was except Antara's feeling and her body language in front of Raghu...Her "Super Attitude" image was getting blurred these days..
------
It was 6:00 PM A,R,S were sitting in the cafeteria when Raghu's phong rung..he excused him self and went out side..It used to happen daily but today he din't come back even after 15-20 minutes..A,S were waiting for him..and food was getting cold...Antara said in little frustration.. "Sid, let's start, don't know how long will he take..we will order again".. and giggled...
Sid Said.. "yeah!! i think that better...n course today he won't come back so easily..."
Antara asked very casually while eating her maggi.. "why??... "
Sid: "Actually , today it's his girlfriend's birthday...he wished her 10 minutes late..so it's his punishment that he he is getting her calls in every 1 hr"...and he laughed out..."
Antara asked him with blank face "He has a girlfriend??"..
Sid: "yeah!!, it's been more than a year...she is blah blah blah..."
Antara din't listen anything after that...she was totally blank...she din't know what had just happened..she was in utter shock...
whatever she heard wasn't true..or was it...She was feeling like if someone has just broken her heart into pieces...she was numb and couldn't say after that..
Sid was busy in eating his maggi...
Raghu came back after 5 minutes...Antara was sitting like that only..and Sid was on with his blah blah blah...
Raghu: "heyy guys...m so sorry...it's just..."
Sid: "it's ok yaar..Sit..it's just a trial..i can understand..." and laughed at Raghu...
Raghu with sad expressions: "yeah!! i know..."..sighs!!..."anyways..you have eaten without me...that's not fair..."
Sid: "wo Antara said th..." Raghu cut him in between... "you lier..Antara hasn't eaten anything.."
Antara came back to her senses when he heard her name...she said.. "yeah!!..i din't..we were waiting for you.."
Sid made an O face...
Antara: "heyy, why don't you order something..I'll be just back in two minutes..."
Sid: "wow...now you have to go...now is it your boyfriend calling you..." and gave a high-five to Raghu...
Antara gave an angry look to them...and both kept quite immediately...Raghu said: "now please sit miss call...let's eat something..we have to cont our work again..and we are already late..."...Both Sid and Antara gave angry looks to him.. "i know...i know ..i am sorry...SORRY"...
Sid and Raghu laughed..and Antara too smiled weakly.. It was being very difficult for her to sit there even for a second...she was there just holding her heart in her hands...her eyes were wet and tears could flow at any time...but she had to behave normally...
they finished their food and went to the lab...they worked their for an hour and again Raghu's phone was ringing..
this time Sid burst out in laughter and Antara controlled herself again...she was sitting little far from Sid and Raghu..otherwise they could have heard her sobs...
Raghu received his call..."Hi.."
...
"yeah!!"...
...
"look..can we please talk a little bit later..."..
...
...
"no yeah!! i know...I am sorry for that,..."..
...
"actually I am in lab..I have some work..."
..
"I can't..." Sid was laughing continuously...
...
"No..that's sid...he is laughing at me.."..
..
..
"just hold a second"
Raghu to Sid: "Sid, plz stop it yaar...let me at least tell her that we have to work..."
Raghu on call again.. "heyy, listen..can we please..." Sheetal cut him in between...
...
"what...??? really?? that's cool" and Raghu came out of the lab...
n that was heights... Sid stood up and said.. "let's go ANtara...it won't be possible to work today.."
Antara: "you're right..but just inform him that we can work tomorrow..." and started to pack her stuffs...
Sid left first and informed Raghu...
Antara also came out of the lab and went to washroom...she had so much to burst out..all the pain that she was holding for so long...she was so angry on her self..She was sitting on the floor of washroom and cried her heart out...she was crying like a mad..her eyes were all wet and tears were flowing on her cheeks..which made her face red...she was continuously wiping her tears and yelling at her self... "why the hell i need to think like that...why i let myself go weak in-front of him...why i thought he could be the one..*sobs* the one.*sobss* .the...WHYYY???
you should have understand..he is so good looking and has a great personality..how can he be a single...
he is the most eligible guy in our class and you thought that he...*sobs* he *sobs*..he...*sobs*
you're such a fool Antara...
Antara just sit comfortably on floor and thought... "he was so happy when he was talking to her?????... "..she must be really very beautiful...
but he never told me... why would he?? you never asked him... how could i ask that... but he could tell you..you're his good friend...after a pause...AM I???
but why the hell am i thinking about all this..it's good na..that you know about all this...before you should start actually loving him???
...
Love???
no it's wasn't that...
then why it's bothering me so much... her tears were still flowing... she couldn't understand..if nothing is affecting her anymore..then why her tears are still flowing...she was getting mad and shouted... "I don't love you...I just don't love you...I don't care about you...you are nothing to me.." without caring about that she was still in the institute...
she led her head down and held with her both hands...and started crying again... "i love you..." sobs.. " i love you so much.." please...please say it once..that it's just a nightmare..please..it's not true..please Raghu..please say it na...this pain will kill me..please say that whatever Sid told me wasn't true..please...
