As soon as Adi re-introduced dem dey both got a biggest surprise of dere lyf. Raghu couldn't belive dat d person who's going to fulfill his Antara's dream is Antara herself. She's d architect of Divine constructions. O Gosh! Y didn't he ask for her name before. She too stands dere wid here eyes wide open wen she saw d MD of NAIK'S CONSTRUCTION is none other den Raghu himself. He moved more closer to her just to make sure dat he was not dreaming. Yes she was dere for real, he was not dreaming. She has come back, she has come back to him.

Raghu (in his heart): Antara, Antara tum waapas aa gayi

Antara (in her heart): Mr. Naik is Raghu. Naik's Construction ka MD Raghu hai.

She didn't understand wat game her fate is playing wid her. she's again back to d same place where she has started her journey of new lyf. She has again came face to face wid dat person whom she has left 5 yrs ago who has changed totally nw. God knows wat else their destiny has stored for both of dem nw.

Wo miley hai ek baar fir saath judne ke liye ya miley hai mil kar bichadne ke liye

*************************************************

Dey stood dere looking at each other like dat only without blinking once trying to read d emotions dat were dere in each other's Eyes. 5 yrs nd dey haven't met each other forget about d meeting dey haven't even seen each other nd today dey r in front of each other totally changed from wat dey r 5 years ago but one thing was still d same dere Beating heart which still missed several beats wenever dey saw each other.

He looked at her from top to Bottom. Her dressing style was not d same as before. Instead of wearing suits she was wearing a knee length skirt nd white crisp full sleeves shirt showing her professionalism. Her hairs were not in plaits but tied in a tight pony. She too looked at him nd noticed his dressing. D person who always wear cool T-shirts nd jeans is now in formals but yet manages to take away her breath.

Everyone at d hall was looking at dem in a confused manner not able to understand wats happening over dere. Raghu Naik who was known for staying away from Girls seems to be lost in d girl present in front of him like he found his Long losted precious thing nd Antara Kaul known for her Proffesionalism is too looking at him like she possessed him. Finally Adi cleared his throat which bring dem back into their senses nd dey realizes wat dey were doing. Antara quickly looked away pretending to look at her laptop. Raghu too straighten himself nd looked at Adi

Adi: Sir, can we start d presentation.

Raghu: hhmmm

He said nd goes to take his seat right in front of d presentation board to get a clear view of her. Antara goes over d presentation board nd starts her presentation. She gives each nd every detail about d project, its USP nd other details. Raghu looked at her feeling proud on her. He remembers her dream of being a successful Architect. Hw much passionate she was towards her dream

******~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~******

Antara: Raghu, wat have u thought about ur future?

Raghu: Future?

Antara: ya u must have a dream na for future? So wats dat?

Raghu: My Dream, well its very simple. Padhai after dat our Marriage nd den 2 nahi 4 kids. 2 boys nd 2 girls. Equality ka zamana hai na

Antara (Blushing): Raghu, m not talking about dis dream.

Raghu: y? ye itna bura dream hai kya? Wait a sec. kahi aisa to nahi hai na dat u had changed ur mind nd u'll not marry me

Antara: Shut up Raghu, hw can u even think of dat (she said while looking away)

Raghu: Acha I m Sorry. I was just kidding yaar

Antara still didn't said anything nd continue looking other side

Raghu: Antara, m sorry sweetheart. Acha Aage se main aisa kuch nahi bolunga. Promise. Pls Raghu jao

He said while making a baby face. Antara looked at him by corner of her eyes. Aww hw could she remain angry on him nw.

Antara: tum bahut bure ho. Humesha mujhe mana lete ho. Dekhna ek din tumse itna naaraz ho jayungi ki tum saari zindagi mujhe manate rahoge fir bhi nahi manoongi.

Raghu: Aisa kabhi nahi ho sakta tum chahe mujhse kitna bhi naraaz ho jao but at last tum raghu hi jayogi. Tum jitni baar bhi mujhse naraaz hogi main utni baar tumhe mana loonga.

Antara: over confidence

Raghu: No its not over confidence its power of our Love

She smiled widely nd hugged him

Raghu: Acha Antara, u were talking about some dream

Antara: oh haan, wo tell na wat had u thought for ur future nd here I mean in d sense of career.

Raghu: well usme sochna kya hai. Bus jaise taise MBA khatm ho jaye uske baad to apna Family business hi sambhalana hai. Bas usi ke liye MBA kar raha hoon

Antara: So u mean to say dat u dnt have any passion towards ur career

Raghu: Wat Passion Antara wen I knw wat I have to do in future

Antara: Nahi Raghu ye tumhara Dream nahi hai. ye to sirf tumhare liye ek option hai. I mean tumhe pata hai ki tum studies ki taraf serious ho ya na ho at d end tumhe apna business hi sambhalna hai.

Raghu: So According to u wat can I name as dream.

Antara: Raghu, dream is dat which can make us passionate towards it. Like if u have to join ur business also den u have to be passionate towards it so dat u can have ur own identity, ur own recognition. People know ur Business by ur name nd not u by d name of ur famuly business. Nd for dat u have to be serious in every aspect.

Raghu: Hhmmm interesting. By the way wats ur dream

Antara: My dream; I wanted to be a successful Architect, to make my own identity. Till nw everyone knows me by my Father's name but I want dat everyone knows my Father by my name. Dat KAUL is ANTARA KAUL's father. Dis is my dream to be successful to dis extent dat every company dreams to work wid me nd u know mera doosra Dream kya hai?

Raghu: kya?

Antara: tumhe successful hote hue dekhna. I wanted to see u making ur own identity in d world

Raghu smiles seeing her determination towards her dream which actually inspires him a lot nd her concern towards him

Raghu: Ur dreams will definitely cum true Antara. Dekhna one day u'll be giving presentation for my company but due to ur Efficiency nd no favours ha nd ya I promise dat I'll also make my own identity in d society so dat u feel proud on me like I always feel proud of u.

SCROLL DOWN

******~~~~~~Back to Present~~~~~******

He came back into reality wen he heard Antara's voice

Antara: Any Doubts till nw Mr. Naik

He nodded in no nd she continues to give d present. He looks at her once again couldn't believe d fact dat sumtymes wat we say will become true in future. He had sid dat she'll give presentation for her company just too boost up her confidence nd today its become true. He was really happy for her dat she has achieved wat she has dream of for her nd for him too. Nd today she was completing her biggest dream. Hw fool he was to think till nw dat someone else has designed d Model of orphanage exactly d way Antara wants. Hw can anyone else can turn her dream in d reality exactly d same way she wants other den she herself.

He looked at her lovingly couldn't able to concentrate on single word she said till nw. just lost in her. d way she moves her hand while clearing d points, d way she twists her marker between her fingers, her locks touching her cheeks everything was taking his heart away from him once again like before. He found himself again falling for her cute antics like he falled before. Though she has changed herself but yet her antics r d same. he didn't cared wat other members in d hall will think about him wen dey saw him gaping at her nd he dnt want to also. He just can't stop looking at his Angel whom he has missed a lot in dese 5 years.

Antara's heart was pounding heavily in her chest like it'll come out of it wen she feels his piercing gaze on her. Her throat went dry nd thousand butterflies were running in her stomach. It was getting difficult for her to give d presentation. She tried hard to control herself but it didn't seem to work. She cursed herself for behaving like a teenager wen she was strictly professional towards her work. Dere's a feeling of nervousness nd fear awoke in her heart.

Antara (to herself): Antara wats wrong wid u? Control urself. Dnt let him affect u. but y d hell is he looking at me like dis. Raghu pls stop all dis. dnt look at me lyk dis. it wont help. Antara just consider him as MD of Naik's Constructions. Remember for wat u r here for. Just take a deep breath nd give d presentation.

She takes a deep breath nd vowed dat she'll not let d things happens in past to effect her work.

On d other hand Raghu too tries hard to concentrate on d presentation given by her but couldn't able to. Its been after 5 long years he is listening to her melodious voice. He was looking at her angelic face den hw can he concentrate on anything else at dat tym. He saw her nervousness nd was actually enjoying it. He was happy to see dat she still get affected due wid his presence. He smiled inwardly at his own thought. After 5 years he was again feeling like a same Raghu like he was at dat tym wen he was wid his Angel.

He noticed the confidence, the determination towards her work. "My angel has become professional nw" he thought. Everything has changed in her. Her dressing, her attitude everything. He couldn't believe dat dis was d same Antara who use to get nervous before her exams nd nw giving presentation wid full confidence. But for one thing he was sure dat her heart is still d same.

During d presentation Antara once again looked at him only to find his gaze on her which were actually tickiling her senses. She wonders hw he still manged to affect her. dey were away for 5 long years, she was angry on him nd may be even nw but yet she gets affected wid his gaze, wid his presence.

As d presentation ends she again looked at him nd dis is wen dere eyes met nd dere hearts began to race against dere minds. Dey found demselves lost in each other's eyes. they tried to hard to regain some composure which both of dem knw is not possible.

Dey both came into senses wen dey heard d round of applause. Everyone is praising her for her designs nd was really looking forward to work wid her. She smiles while shaking hands wid dem. He smiles seeing her smiling. He comes towards her to appreciate her. wid his every Step towards her, her heart beats was rising. He extends his hand towards her to congrats her. She slowly met her hand wid his. As dey both feel each other's touch both felt a shiver through their spine due to dat touch.

Raghu: it was a good presentation Ms. Kaul. Great Job

Antara: Thank u Mr. Naik

She quickly removes her hand from his nd started talking to other member. Raghu smiles nd turns towards Adi to discuss important points regarding presentation

One by one everyone has started leaving from conference hall nd at last only Raghu nd Antara r left over dere. Dey could listen each other heart beats Loud in dat empty room. Dis was d toughest situation for her as she knows dat Raghu had numerous questions in his mind to which she's not ready to answer. She looked everywhere except him. She quickly takes her Laptop nd decided to leave from dere.

As she was about to leave d conference hall Raghu stops her by holding her wrist. Antara quickly closes her eyes. dis was d last thing she wanted. Isn't all dat enough dat was happening wid her since morning dat nw she has to face his confontration.

Antara: Raghu Please. Let me go

But instead his grip got tightened nd he pulled her towards him nd quickly takes her into his embrace hugging her tightly. Never to let her go away from him. His heart was finally at peace first tym in dese 5 years by holding her so close to him. hw much he has waited for dis moment in dese 5 years nd finally it has came. His Antara has come back to him.

Antara too closed her eyes feeling d warmth of his embrace. For a moment she has forgotten everything dat has happened between her nd Raghu. She was just lost in his embrace. She could feel his warm breath against her ears which was making her tremble. Only she knows hw badly she wanted to be in his arms in dese 5 years nd today wen its happening den she don't want dis. her fear is again overcoming her heart. Raghu dipped his head in her hair nd finally whispered

Raghu: Kaha chali gayi thi tum Antara? Kyun chali gayi thi mujhe chod ke? U knw hw much I had missed u? Kyun chali gayi thi tum apne Raghu ko chod ke?

She quickly opens her eyes as reality hits her as soon as she heard his voice. Wat was she doing? She was suppose to maintain her professionalism especially in front of him nd here she's lost in his Arms. She quickly pushed him away from her nd looked at other side.

Antara: u should not behave like dis Mr. Naik. M here for dis project. Pls dnt make dis difficult for both of us.

Her words hurt Raghu deep in his heart. nd wait did she addressed him as Mr. Naik. Since wen dis professionalism has came between dem. She still hasn't forgiven him for wat he did 5 years back. But den calms himself by thinking dat it wont be easy to make everything like before all of a sudden especially at d state where dey both r.

She can't bear dis awkward silence anymore between dem therefore she quickly turns to leave from dere. As she was about to Go her Leg gets struck on d Wire present over dere which makes her trip. She was about to hit d ground wen Raghu saves her from falling by holding her waist. Dis all has happened all of a sudden nd in vain Raghu too loses his balance nd falls on d Chair behind him while she ends up falling in his lap. She hids her face in his chest in fear while he holds her tight by her waist. She slowly draws back her face nd looks at him. He too looks into her eyes deep. Same eyes where he always found Love for him. Both didn't know how long they were lost in each other's eyes. Dey were just trying to read d emotions dey were seeing in each other's eyes. Raghu slowly away d lock of hair caressing her cheek nd tucks it behind her ears. She closed her eyes feeling his touch. Raghu slowly brings her hand towards her face to caress her soft cheek. Dis is wen Antara realizes wat she was doing. She quickly snaps away his hand nd gets up from his lap.she was trying to regain herself wen Raghu spoke

Raghu: hw long will u run away from me Antara. Remember one thing wenever u'll go away from me at d end u'll come into my arms like dis only

Antara can see d intensity in his eyes but rite nw she cant bear it. She straightens herself nd quickly goes outside d conference hall fighting back wid her tears.

Raghu just stood dere shocked nd dumbfounded by seeing her sudden reaction like dis. Dis is not wat he expected. Especially meeting after 5 years. But den he realizes dat dey need sum tym.

Raghu (to himself): just relax Raghu. Dnt give up so easily. If fate has bring her back to u den definitily it has sumthing good stored for both of u. no matter wats d reason behind her coming back but at d end she'll definitely cum back to u. its not easy to bridge d gap of 5 years in 5 minutes neither its easy to make everything like before so soon. U have to wait Raghu u have to wait. Jab tune 5 saal intezaar kiya hai to kuch mahine aur sahi. Dekhna is baar wo tujhe chod ke nahi jayegi.

***************************************

Antara quickly comes out of d hall nd stops at d corridor. She closed her eyes nd takes a deep breath. Some drops of tears have dropped from her eyes wen she think of d incident happened inside d hall. She really didn't understand wat her fate wants from her. firstly she has to cum back to d same place where she has vowed never to cum back. Wasn't dat was enough dat now she has to work wid d same person from whom she wanted to stay away. She cursed herself for being dis much weak. Y she has thought Raghu nd Mr. Naik as two different peoples. Y she haven't thought dat wen dese 5 years has changed her so much den it can change him also. But hw cum Arman couldn't able to recognize him. it was him only na who has finalized dis deal. She thought. She quickly wipes away her tears nd calls Arman.

*****************************************

Arman was at his date wid Shilpa wen Antara calls him. Shilpa looks at him wid questioning eyes.

Arman: Kiddo! Lagta hai meeting ho gayi

She smiles nd Arman takes d call

Arman: Hey Kiddo! Wats up? Nd hw was ur meeting?

Antara: Shut up Arman! Dnt try to Act smart

Arman: Wat do u mean Kiddo? I really dnt get u.

Antara: really? R u dat much stupid?

Arman: Kiddo, stop talking in riddles nd tell me wat actually has happened?

Antara: ok den I m cuming straight to d point. Do u know who is Mr. Naik

Arman: ya MD of naik's constructions. So?

Antara: Arman he has other identity also besides being a MD of Naik's construction

Arman: Antara, kya bol rahi ho Saaf saaf bolo na

Antara: Arman, Mr. Naik is none other den Raghu himself

Arman (shocked): WAT??!!! R u serious?

Antara: Dnt Act Arman. Tum jaante the na ki Mr. Naik hi Raghu hai fir bhi tumne mujhe yahan bheja.

Arman: Antara trust me mujhe sach me nahi pata tha. I mean maine kabhi unse personally baat nahi ki. Most of d tym I talked to his business partner or his Associate. Tujhe sach me aisa lagta hai ki agar mujhe pata hota to main tujhe waha bhejta. Mujhpe trust nahi hai tujhe

Antara (to herself): Antara tu bhi na, kuch bhi bolti hai. Sach hi to bol raha hai Arman. Agar use pata hota to wo tujhe yaha kyun bhejta. Bekaar hi mein use itna kuch bol diya

Arman: Hello Kiddo! u dere

Antara (coming out of her thoughts): Ya Arman, m sorry wo ekdum se yeh sab hua to mujhe kuch samajh nahi aaya aur maine tumhe itna kuch bol diya.

Arman: its ok I understand. Waise Antara u can cum back to US. I mean we can do dis Joint venture wid sum other company. Ya it'll effect our company's reputation but I'll manage all dat. U just come back.

Nw d last thing Antara wanted to get Arman in trouble due to her. nd waise bhi its her problem nd she has to handle it alone she cant let anyone else suffer due to her.

Antara: No Arman, I'll manage. I m not dis much weak dat I cant handle dis situation. Main US tabhi waapas aayungi jab ye project complete ho jayega.

Arman: R u sure?

Antara: ya. Chalo nw m keeping d phone down. Need to sort out few points wid Raghu' I mean Mr. Naik.

Arman: ok Bye nd tc.

Antara cuts d call nd promised herself dat she'll handle dis matter calmly. So wat she's going to work wid Raghu she'll still remain professional like she was wid her other clients. Dere's no Difference between Raghu nd other clients.

Thinking dis she takes a deep breath nd goes towards d washroom to get fresh. She don't know dat someone is listening to her conversation. It was Raghu who was leaning against d wall listening to her. A wide smile crept on his face wen he heard dat Antara isd not going back soon. No matter wats d reason but important is dat she'll be wid him for few months nd he promised to himself dat he'll turn dese few months into forever.

**************************************

Arman looks tensed after cutting d call which makes Shilpa worried

Shilpa: Arman, wat happen? U looking so tensed? Kya baat Hui Antara se?

Arman (being serious): Wo Shilpa, u knw whom Kiddo has met today

Shilpa: whom?

Arman: Raghu. Mr. Naik is none other den Raghu himself.

Shilpa (shocked): really?

Arman: hhmmm

Shilpa: so isme itna tensed hone wali kya baat hai? Yahi to hum dono chahte the hai na?

She said nd dey both giggles nd gives high five to each other

Arman: I don't believe dis our plan has actually worked. Finally dey r face to face wid each other

Shilpa: hw it couldn't work Afterall it was made by me. It had to be worked.

Arman: But Shilpa, r we doing d right thing. I mean Kiddo se is tarah se jhooth bolna, I haven't lied to her before nd today I lied her saying dat I was not knowing anything. I dnt knw but m not feeling gud

Shilpa: Arman, jis jhooth se do tute hue Dil mile wo jhooth jhooth nahi hota. Humara yeh ek chota sa jhooth unki life me dher saari happiness layega

Arman: but do u still think dat Antara still loves Raghu. I mean 5 years have been passed nd she has moved on in her lyf.

Shilpa: I dnt think Arman, I believe dat Antara still loves Raghu. Arman I agree dat u knw Antara since childhood. U knw every small nd big things about her, but Arman I also know her from last 5 years nd in dese 5 years I had observed each nd every aspect of her lyf very closely.

Arman: means.

Shilpa: Arman, maine in 5 saalo me Antara ko har 11^th Nov k din ek intezaar karte hue dekha hai, kisi ki wish ka, kisi ke aane ka. Har 22^nd feb ko bechain hote hue bhi dekha hai, kisi khaas se baat karne ke liye, uske paas jane ke liye nd har 10^th sept ko tadapte hue bhi dekha hai. Kyunki ye din uske lyf ka sabse khaas din hai. Isi din us insaan ne use propose kiya tha jisse wo bahut pyaar karti hai, aur aaj wo insaan uske saath nahi hai. Is din wo tadapti hai uske saath rehne ke liye, uske paas rehne ke liye usse baatein karne ke liye. nd sirf yahi dates kyun Antara ne to ek pal ke liye bhi Raghu se pyar karma band nahi kiya hai.. nw still u think dat Antara has moved on?

Arman: ya but still I m not sure whether wat we r doing is rite or not

Shilpa (irritated): Arman tumhe dikhai nahi de raha hai ya tum dekhna chahte hi nahi. Antara loves Raghu more den we can imagine. Tumhe yaad hai us din Party mein Antara has put a piece of cake to other plate making sure dat nobody sees her. she did dat every year since d day she comeover here. Dat piece was meant for Raghu nd we both know dat. Nd throughout d party she was so lost nd restless nd I dnt think I had to give u d reason nw.

Arman: hhmmm I think u r rite.

Shilpa: trust me Arman everything will go fine. Antara ne humare liye kitna kuch kiya hai nd today if we r together den just because of her. u remember

Arman: ya.

SCROLL DOWN

******~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~******

It was going to be d toughest day for Arman as he was going to tell his parents about him nd Shilpa. He was really scared for dere reaction as first of all Shilpa was an orphan but dats not matter over here but d thing dat matters is dat Shilpa is not of dere caste. She is Gujarati nd he was afraid dat may be his Dad wont agree to have an inter-caste marriage. Antara has assured him dat nothing will go wrong, he just go nd tell dere parents wats in his heart.

All d members of d house r present over in d hall including Arman, Shilpa nd Antara. As expected Arman's parents was not ready for d proposal. But not because Shilpa is an orphan or she's gujarati but because dey have always saw Antara as dere Daughter-in-law.

Mr. Malik: I cant Agree to dis Proposal

Arman: But dad Y? wats d problem? Just because Shilpa is an orphan nd she's not of our caste

Mr. Malik: u knw dat I dnt believe in all dis

Arman: den y r u refusing? U have to give me d answer

Mrs. Malik: Shut up Arman! Is dis d way u'll talk to ur Father

Mr. Malik: Let it be Megha. Our son has grown up nw so he can question his father

Arman: its not like dat Dad. I respect u nd I had never questioned u but today I want to know d reason. I Love her Dad nd I promised her dat I'll be dere wid her in every situation.

Mr. Malik: u wanted to know d reason den I'll tell u. u can't marry Shilpa because I m bounded by a promise

Arman: Promise?

Mr. Malik: ya I had promised my late best Friend dat I'll make her daughter our Daughter-in-law. I promised him dat Antara will be d daughter-in-law of our house

Nw it was d biggest shock for both Antara nd Arman. Dey had never ever thought dat dere parents can even think of anything like dis.

Antara: uncle wat r u saying?

Mr. Malik: yes beta its true. I had promised dat I'll get u nd Arman married. Its all has been done begfore his death. He was worried about u nd derefore I made him dis promise nd even me myself wants d same since d day u born. Nd nw I cant betray my friend by marrying Arman to some one else.

Antara: uncle Pls. Dis cant even possible. Me nd Arman r just best friends. We have haven't thought anything beyond dat.

Mrs. Malik: Antara beta dis is true. We have always dreamt of u making our Daughter-in-law. Nd datsy ur uncle has promised ur father.

Antara: Aunty y don't u understand. Me nd Arman can never marry each other. Nd moreover Arman truly loves Shilpa it would be injustice to her also.

Mr. Malik: but Antara beta...

Antara: Uncle I truly respect ur Friendship towards Dad. I appreciate it dat u care for ur dead friend but uncle d promise dat u had made to dad cannot be possible. Nd even if we r married also den also we cant be happy because we can never love each other

Mrs. Malik: but beta love can also happen as d tym passes.

Antara: u r rite aunty but dat would be in d case wen dose two people had never fallen in love wid each other nd in our case dat can not possible because Arman Loves Shilpa. Nd our relationship would be nothing but a Perfect mismatch.

Den she goes to Arman's Dad nd sit besides him

Antara: uncle, I know wat value u had in ur lyf of ur friendship wid my Dad but uncle just think about it once dat due to dis promise 3 lives r going to be ruined. Shilpa's, Mine nd Arman's. Do u want dis dat due to one promise 3 lives get ruined. Uncle no one will be happy after dis. nd just look at Shilpa once. She has no one in her lyf instead Arman. Aren't u doing injustice wid her. Uncle dey both truly Love each other nd aap hi to kehte hai ki jo log ek doosre se pyar karte hai unhe hi saath me rehna chahiye. Uncle if dad would be alive den he would also say d same thing which I had said. Nd trust me uncle u r not going to betray ur friend neither u r breaking any promise. U promised dad for our happiness nd uncle we r happy by just being Best friends only. Nd m sure dad too didn't wanted to get 3 lives ruined due to a promise infact he'll prefer to break one promise to save happiness in everyone's lyf. Pls uncle change ur decision.

Mrs. Malik: but Antara...

Antara: Aunty agar main Arman se shaadi nahi karungi to kya aap logo ka pyar mere liye kam ho jayega. App log mujhe pehle jitna pyaar nahi karoge

Mrs. Malik: ofcourse not beta

Antara: den pls give Shilpa one chance. M sure she's going to prove best Daughter-in-law. Pls uncle.

After thinking a lot on dis matter finally Arman's Parents agreed for Arman's nd Shilpa's relationship nd very soon Shilpa has made a good place in dere hearts too. All thanx to Antara.

******~~~~~~Back to Present~~~~~******

Shilpa: Arman, if dat day Antara had not taken stand for us den today we wont be here. If today we r together den just because of Antara. nd nw its tym for us to do sumthing for her. nd I dnt think dat anything would be as Good as making her unite wid d person she loves d most.

Arman: u r rite Shilpa. But I still have a doubt

Shilpa (rolling her eyes): nw wat Arman?

Arman: See I agree dat Antara still loves Raghu but wat about Raghu. Do u think he still loves her too nd waiting for her

Shilpa: yes Arman. M sure dat Raghu is also at d same place where Antara is. If Antara haven't moved on yet den I can bet dat Raghu also haven't moved on till nw nd he's still waiting for her.

Arman: hw can u be so sure?

Shilpa: Arman u had only told it to me na Dat Antara has left Raghu at dat tym wen Raghu has confessed his true feelings to her. do u think after Antara walks out from his lyf like dat Raghu can stop loving her. Arman, true love is not dat weak to forget wid tym.

Arman: hhmmm.

Shilpa: nd u knw wat I think at dat tym u souldnt have brought Antara here at US

Arman: u mean to say dat I would left her alone over dere at dat phase of her lyf nd dat too because of dat Raghu who was not sure of his own feelings

Shilpa: Arman, m not saying dis. See as a friend ur concern towards Antara is gud but if at dat tym u haven't brought Antara here den may be today Raghu nd Antara r together

Arman: first of all m not getting wat u r saying nd secondly It was Antara's decision to come over here

Shilpa: ya because u had given her d option but agar us waqt Antara tumhare saath yaha nahi aati aur India me hi rehti to Raghu ko ek chance milta apne aap ko Prove karne ka nd ho sakta hai kuch tym baad Antara raghu bhi jati nd wo log is tarah se 5 saal tak door nahi rehte. But as at dat tym uske paas option tha yaha aane ka derefore at dat tym she has decided to run away from d situation instead of giving Raghu an another chance.

Arman: u r rite Shilpa. I haven thought about dis. well its better late den never. Ab aage kya karna hai

Shilpa: ab humne apna kaam kar diya hai. Unhe aamne-saamne lake ab aage ka kaam Kismat karegi. Dekhte hai kab tak ye dono ek doosre ke saath rehkar ek doosre se door rehte hai.

Arman: Dat would be really worth watching.

***************************************

Raghu was at his cabin Holdong Antara's picture recalling d incidents dat has happened so far nd after dat wat happened today at d conference hall. He cant believe dat his lyf has changed once again just in d matter of few mins. today it should be his lucky day as today his lyf has came back to him. nd den he smiles remembering Antara's conversation wid Arman nd her decision of staying back at India only. He just ran his fingers over dat photo caressing it

Raghu: Dis tym I'll not let u go away from me Antara. u might have come over here for dis project but dis tym u'll not go back running from me. Dis tym I'll prove my love to u. Dis tym I'll make everything like before between us. Dats my promise to u Antara. u r here for just for few months but very soon I'll turn dese few months into forever.

He come out of his thoughts wen he heard d knocking of d Door. He dnt have to guess who it was. He puts d photo back in d drawer nd straighten himself.

Raghu: come in

Nd as expected he knew who it was. None other den Antara.

Antara: Mr. Naik I need to talk to u

Raghu: I knw abt wat u r going to talk.

Antara (confused): wat?

Raghu: u are here to cancel dis deal rite?

Antara: Wat rubbish y would I do dat?

Raghu: see as of nw we both have to work together so may be sumtym u'll remind of our past relationship nd u think dat it'll be difficult for u to work wid me after dat as u wont be able to control urself around me.

Antara: u r wrong Mr. Naik. I dnt know about u but as far as I m concerned m very much professional towards my work. Nd to clear all urdoubts let me tell u I had not came over here to cancel dis deal. Main yaha sirf itna batane aayi hoon dat we r going to be work together nw as a team so its better if u dnt brought personal things between profession like u did inside d hall. Better keep ur personal life away from professional one.

Raghu: nd outside d work? we can talk personal after work.

Antara: outside d work we r nothing but strangers. keep dis thing clear

Raghu: ok Ms. Kaul. Anything else?

Antara: no

Raghu: fine den we'll work on dis project from tomorrow

Antara: ok.

She said nd turns to leave. She was about to leave d cabin wen she stops nd turned again to look at Raghu.

Antara: nd one more thing Mr. Naik i really hope ki humari compatibility future me achi rahegi...

Raghu felt so happy wen he heard d word compatibility from her but his happiness was short lived wen she completes her sentence

Antara: Professionaly.

She said nd leaves d cabin leaving Raghu behind smirking. Only he knows hw to turn Antara's decision in his favour like he did nw.

Raghu: u still haven't changed Antara. u still had d same attitude like u had wen I met u first tym. Hhmmm ok Antara u wants to be professional den let it be lyk dis. I promise Antara by d end of dis project u'll cum back to my lyf nd dis tym personally. U r rite Antara, humari compatibility future me achi rahegi.

He said smiling nd gets back to his work.
