It's been 1 year Raghu and Antara met, she is an assistant professor now and Raghu is working in a company..
during last one year their schedule was quite busy and couldn't talk regularly...
Antara is about to be 26 now..
It was a beautiful morning of Decemeber...Antara was sleeping peacefully in her room...she loved winters..because she can sleep for few more hours...
she opened her eyes slowly as sunlight touched her face through window..she rubbed her eyes..and wished her self good morning..n woke up..."it's such a beautiful morning..." she looked at the clock and again dozed off...
after 15 minutes her alarm rang..she switched it off and finally got up...!!
come'on miss call...if u din't wake up now..u'll get late..today ur lecture is in morning slot...come-on..
(whenever she does feels good and miss raghu..she call herself miss call..which means every time ...😳 )
Antara was busy in her lecture..when her phone vibrated..it buzzed twice but she was teaching some important topic and din't want to disturb the class..so she ignored the call..
once the lecture was over, she checked her phone..it was Raghu..she was surprised he never called in morning..n today isn't my birthday...why he called in morning..
she called him back..he picked it but din't say anything..
Hello..Raghu?
Hi Antara..How are you..
I am fine Rgahu..how are you..you called me in morning?? what happened today you don't have work in your office?? and she laughed..
Raghu too smiled on another end.."Actually..Yeah!!...Because I am here in Delhi.."
Really?? wowww..

No i had some other work...
that's really good..so you're with someone..i mean friends or..
No not really..
Okk...so can we meet..bcz I have just finished my lecture..and it's been so long we met..isn't it..
yeah!!..
so where are you...
Ummm..It's some Academic Block..XYZ...
what...??? you're here only..you just wait..I am coming.. just wait..okayy...
she was so happy..he was already in her campus..it was really surprising for her..because most of the time they meet at some cafe or restaurant...
She just locked her office and walked out in hurry...she came downstairs..and there she saw him roaming around...
he had one laptop bag on his shoulder...wearing dark blue Jeans with Navy blue sweatshirt...she saw him and whispered Raghu..He turned and saw her with a smile on her face..he too smiled..Hi Antara...
She was about to hug him when he forwarded his hand to shake..she said Hi and forwarded her hand and now raghu came to hug her..
they both laughed and said hi..
It's so good to see you again..how are you..
I am all good..howz ur work going on.. Good..she replied..
it's exams time now..so little busy..
you tell me..finally you got sometime to come here..
yeah!! can we go somewhere outside..
sure..but you just came now..take rest for 15 minutes at least then we'll go..
n i also to tired after such a long class..so for few minutes..please..
sure..
they both went for Antara's office and sit there for few minutes..Raghu liked her room..there was this photo of their group on her table..
you miss them..yes!!..a lot.. she said while packing her stuffs..
meanwhile Raghu had a cup of coffee..he felt really good after meeting her...
Raghu it's very cold outside..you sure we should go..i mean we can order something..
it's not that cold..i came just few minutes before..and I have car..
she looked at him with confused expression..
that's my friend's car...ohkay..
and both smiled..

RanTara in a Restaurant...
it's been 1.5 hour..they met after so long so they had so much to talk..after having their lunch..Antara asked him if he wants to go somewhere else..
he asked her to sit here only...that the place is really good..
you din't ask me..why i came here..as i din't had office work..
Rgahu i have already asked you that 3-4 times..you are the one who din't reply..
Raghu lowered his eyes..I came for some work..important one...hmm...for personal work..
okay..so if you don't want to tell.it's okay...what happened to you..
No..I actually want to tell it to you only..okay..then tell me...what is it..
she said while keeping her elbow on table , holding her face...
Antara you're my best friend..and i know that you know better than anyone else..right..??
yeah!! but what happened ..c'mon Raghu..you're scaring me..is everything okay..you're behaving different..
Raghu looked in her eyes..he took her hands..and his hands touched her chin...he holds her hands in his and pressed with his fingers lightly...Antara felt shivers in her whole body.."Raghu...what happened.."..she asked with concern..
Raghu's grip was getting tighter and Antara was little scared not because of his actions..but his condition..He never behaved like that..she tried to free her hands out..but Raghu din't let her..he looked straight in her eyes... "Miss call..will you marry me.."..
Antara was shocked and surprised..she couldn't believe her ears...she din't feel anything.she wasn't happy because she knows that raghu had a girlfriend...her hands were getting cold and Raghu could feel that...
"will you marry me..."..he asked again..in more confident way this time...
Raghu If it's prank then tell me..or i think we should leave..she tried to get up when Raghu held her hand..
Raghu please leave my hand.. ANtara I am serious..please don't take me wrong..
we can talk..please..SIT!!
Antara sat back on her chair..okay..then tell me..you really think it's okay to propose a girl like that specially when you already have a girlfriend since 8.5 years...
7..it was for 7 years..
what do you mean...
we are not together..she is married..
what??? i m sorry Raghu..i din't know that..you're okay..
yeah!! i m good..
But that doesn't mean that you'll marry me...for god sake Raghu we are friends..best friends..you don't love me.. she said in very low tone..she din't want to fight him..(She just said that but she felt if her heart has been broken once again..her eyes were moist..)
n that's why I want to marry you...he spit it out while looking in her eyes...
her eyes got widened because of the shock..for one second..she started to expect..may be when she left he felt his love for me..and that's why he wants to marry me...a lone tear rolled on her cheek...
Raghu...she whispered...
Raghu felt the same pain of hurting her..but he din't know the actual reason of the pain in those innocent eyes which were moist...he cursed himself...
Don't take me wrong Antara..I want to marry you..because we are best friends...
she could sense..that there was something wrong...she din't doubt Raghu..but something has been messed up in Raghu's life..

FLASHBACK
Raghu was sitting in his room and was looking on the pictures of his college friends..Sheetal entered in his room and saw him all smiling looking at those pictures..
you miss them..don't you..
a lot..it was really a great time... he showed some of his frnz pix to her...
she saw antara's pic n asked her name...Antara..i call her miss call..he smiled..
she is the same girl who din't give you her contact number..yeah!! he laughed...
she looks pretty..yeah!!...sheetal saw her farewell pix..
she is ur best friend...yeah!!
u miss her...yeah!!
u luv her..yeah!!
more than me??yeah!!
i mean no...that's not true..he laughed..
but sheetal got angry she threw her pix on bed...
Sheetal??
what happened..u know i luv u most...
no u don't..i knew it... n she left...
Raghu tried to stop her but she din't...
raghu cursed himself for hurting her..he tried to call her many times..but she din't pick the call..
2-3 months have been gone..he tried to talk her many time..they met but she never convinced...
one day Raghu shouted on her in anger..: For god sake Sheetal..it seems like that you are behaving like this purposely..u actually don't want to listen me..whatever i am trying to say, means nothing to you..whether it's true or not.. n u urself know whatever i said that day was mistake.. you're just asking questions n i was saying yes yes yes..
why you making blunder of such a small thing...but enough is enough..i am not ur puppet..
he left from there in anger...after 2 months raghu came to know via a common friend of his n sheetal that she is married to his boyfriend..
he din't understand anything...she told him that he was committed to a guy since 1 year..they were already engaged..
this was rly heart breaking for him..she cheated on me..we were together for so many years..i loved her with all my heart and she betrayed me..
she actually came there to dump me and she used those pix for it...
this was shameful..
It was unbearable for him..because all this time he was cursing himself for hurting sheetal saying he loves antara more than her...
he was shattered when he came to know that the guy proposed her in front of whole office staff and they kissed each other...while she was already committed to me...
"""""
it's been a year to this incidence..Raghu had not forget whatever happened that day...
we were together since 7 years..i loved her so much..i still can't believe she betrayed on me and married to someone else..how can she do that..But I deserve to know why she ditched me.. I am not lesser than her..moreover i was honest with the girl i loved..
she cheated on me..she hated antara..but our friendship more pure and honest than this so called love story...
Raghu's parents were asking him as they were looking for a girl for him..he also rejected all proposals..he had been through a lot in last 1 year and a half..
he knew that even if he got married he'll be cheating on her..he won't be able to love her...
But he can't just spend his life like this..his parents also has some rights on him..and they want to see him happy..as it wasn't his fault..then why is hurting himself..his parents knew his condition but wanted to move on asap.
after a lot of time..he talked to his parent if they will be agree if he finds a girl by himself...they agreed...
FLASHBACK ENDS

(Raghu din't tell Antara that those were her pix sheetal pointed at..she might get hurt hearing that..)
Antara you're my best friend..i know if we will be together we will be happy...you don't want to marry one..because you don't believe in love..and without love there is no married life..
I was betrayed by the girl i loved..i can't trust on any one's love from now..
we both don't need anyone in our lives..but we need our friendship to support each other..i know after a few years you'll need someone to take care of you..and i as a friend will always be there..but we can just give a name to our friendship and can get married..and we'll always be friends..
and you know we both can't cheat each other..we don't need any love type of love but love and care that two best friends share.. I need you...
will you please marry me...
Raghu, marriage is not a joke..n u know that..
i know..n that's why i want to spend my life with a girl whom i know..a girl would never cheat me..a girl i trust like i i trust my self.. n two best friends can make a really good couple..
we know each other more than we know ourselves..
i know you wouldn't get marry to anyone you don't trust..but you know me..and how much we love each other..and how much me respect each other...i would never give a chance to complain..
i know that..
then??.. Antara i have never asked you for anything..but please think about it..he lowered down his head
Antara face became pale after hearing that...he is right..he never asked me for anything..
he needs me..he also din't tell me anything when he was cheated by that girl...
Antara's eyes welled up..!!
but how can i just say yes..i love him..but he will get shocked if i tell him that..
i can never tell him... we can always remain like this...
but he is right..if not as a lover then as a friend i can marry him..and i will get a chance to make him happy..to make him forget all that time which is like a nightmare to him..
okay..!!
Raghu looked at her face..
okay yes..!! but we will have to talk to my parents..
okay..i'll..thank you Miss call..
(Antara smiled because he called her miss call again..she was dying to hear that from him since morning...)
they both smiled weakly...
you'll take something...
yeah!! one coffee...they both were feeling good..Raghu was happy and finally had a sun shine on his face..and ANtara was feeling shy.
none of them ever expected that he will propose her and she will say yes..!!
they both were feeling little awkward to look at each other..
