pART 23:

Raghu (putting his hand around her waist): ofcourse we'll cum

Antara looked at Raghu wen she felt his hand around her but he pretended like nothing happened. She knows dat its useless to try to free herself as her grip is too strong derefpre she left it like dat nd looked upwards

Antara: Babaji! Subah se Jo Roller coaster Ride chal rahi thi wo kam thi. Now I have to spend 1 day nd 2 nights wid him in d same room. O god! Wat else has u stored for both of us

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

Antara was feeling uncomfortable in his grip. She glares at Raghu but he didn't cared nd continously conversing wid Deeps nd Ashish. Antara slowly tries to remove his hand from her waist but his grip was too strong for her.

Antara: ummm Raghu I guess we should go to d table nw. I mean our Order has came over dere.

Raghu: chalte hain Antara, u guys have met after so many years. Lets talk for a while first (he said while smirking)

Deeps: I guess Antara wants to spend sumtym alone wid u Raghu. Isn't it Antara?(she said while winking)

Antara: No Deeps, its nt like dat. infact y dnt u guys also join us?

Raghu was startled a bit. He didn't expect Antara to invite Deeps nd Ashish

Deeps: Well, we would Love to but we sum other tym. I dnt want to be"Kabab me Haddi" between u two

Antara: Ofcourse not Deeps. We met after so many years derefore had lot of things to catch up so stop being formal nd join us. Rite Raghu?

Raghu (slowly): ya rite

Honestly Raghu didn't wanted dis at all. He wanted to spend tym wid her alone but knowing Antara he should have seen dis cuming; especially after wat he said few mins. Back. For one thing he was sure dat he'll be definitely be confronted by her after dis nd he should be ready for dat.

Ashish: r u guys sure?

Raghu: ya ofcourse

Ashish: Ok den Deeps u go wid dem in d mean tym I'll ask waiter to bring our Order at dere Table.

Deeps: ok

Nd all 3 of dem headed towards Raghueet's Table along wid disappointed Raghu

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

At d Table Deeps was asking numerous questions to Antara dat y she left to US all of a Sudden, y she has never been in touch wid any of dem nd most importantly hw can she left Raghu just like dat; dat too for 5 years?

Antara had no answers for any of her questions. Yes she was feeling uncomfortable wid her questions but she can't blame her also as she don't know anything dat happened 5 years infact no one knows Except Arman, Ruksana nd Machmach. Its not like she don't trust Deeps infact in her whole Group if she can trust anyone den it was Deeps only yet she didn't told anything to her because she cant see anyone Pointing Fingers at Raghu nd today wen she's questioning her den she had no answers

Raghu looked at Antara nd can clearly understand from wat she's going thru. He knows y Antara left 5 years back; it was because of him. He also knows dat no one in her group knows about it datsy dey were questioning her like dis infact dese were d questions which he too wanted to ask her, he too wanted to need answers of all dis but Seeing Antara's expression he understands dat she's not feeling confortable derefore he has to handle d situation for her

Raghu: Wat r u saying Deeps? Hw can u say dat Antara has left me just like dat?

Deeps: Well she haven't told anyone dat she's leaving nd left all of a sudden nd I can bet dat even u wont be knowing about all dis

Raghu: ofcourse I knw about all dis

He said confidently while Antara just looked at him in shock. He looked at her nd squezzed her hand which was under table nd slowly assures her thru his eyes dat "He'll handle everything"

Ashish: U know?

Raghu: Ofcourse. Antara can never hide anything from me. She has told me dat she got an offer from a company from US to do her internship nd u knw wat she dnt even want to go it was me who forced her to go as it was gud for her carrer nd see today she's a successful Architect. Nd as far as ur complaint of not being in touch concerned well I took a promise from her dat she'll never be in touch from anyone of us not even me because I knw dat if she'll be in touch wid anyone of us den she'll not be able to concentrate over her carrer over dere

Deeps: But y she haven't told dis to anyone of us?

Raghu: all dis happen all of a sudden dat she can't able to tell moreover she knows dat if she'll face u all before leaving den she'll get weak nd dis is wat I dnt want. I dnt want her to get weak

Ashish looked at him in shock while Deeps look at both of dem in Awe

Ashish: But it would be difficult for u Na to stay away from her for whole 5 years dat too without being in touch. Well honestly speaking If I would be dere in ur place den I can never do dat. I mean hw can we stay away from d person whom we Love d most dat too for 5 whole years nd without being in touch. No Way

Deeps: He's Rite. Infact he has joined d same firm in which I was placed just to be near me. I wonder hw u guys stay away from each other for 5 whole years

Raghu: Ashish, Deeps, u both r rite at Ur place it's not easy to stay away from d person whom u Love d most but Kisi se pyar karne ka matlab ye to nahin hai Na dat we become obstacle between her nd her dreams. It was Antara's Dream to be a successful Architect, to make her own identity. So dat everyone knows her Father by her name. Dat AMIT KAUL is ANTARA KAUL's father. Dats wat her dream; to be successful to dis extent dat every company dreams to work wid her

Ashish nd Deeps looks at him unblinkily while Antara was looking at him both shocked nd surprised.

"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 AMIT KAUL is ANTARA KAUL's father. Dis is my dream to be successful to dis extent dat every company dreams to work wid me"

Yes its d same thing which she has said to him once but wat surprised her more is dat he still remembers wat she has said. Her dream infact her biggest Dream; he still remembers everything

Raghu: So if u guys think dat I had done any kind of sacrifice den u both r wrong infact main to sirf Antara ka saath de raha tha. Sacrifice to Antara ne kiya tha, un sab logon se door jane ka who r d most important person in her lyf dat too because of me (he quickly covers up wen he saw Deeps nd Ashish's confusing eyes) I mean to say if I haven't forced her to go over dere to fulfill her dream den she wouldn't have gone leaving all of u behind.Guys I wanted to be Antara's Strength not her weakness just like she was my strength in dese 5 years nd I'll be always wid her no matter wat happens

He said while looking at Antara. Antara too looking at him wid same expression which was dere in his eyes. A tear of happiness drops from her eye after hearing him nd seeing his Love. Dere was no fakeness in dose words. Dose words r not said just for d sake to cover d situation; he literally means dat nd she knows it. Who'll know him better den her. Wasn't he is d same Raghu who never takes anything seriously neither her words nor anything else nd today he remembers each nd every word wat she has said to him 5 years back

Deeps: OMG! I really can't believe dis. TUM PREM HO!!!!!!

Deepika's Exclamation brought both of dem from dere thoughts. Dey calmed demselves nd looked at her

Raghu (confusingly): Prem? But I m Raghu

Deeps: no u r Prem. Wo "Vivah" movie wala; Arey wo jo Shaid Kapoor ne role play kiya tha; Antara ka Dream Man. U knw wat jabse Antara ne wo movie dekhi thi since den she always dreamt dat her life partner would be just like him only who'll understand her feelings, her dreams, her emotions nd will be by her side no matter wat. Nd u r just like dat only

Raghu said othing but smiles while Antara ust looked down blushing

Deeps: u guys r truly made for Each other. D way u both think about each other's happiness is truly remarkable yaar. U knw wat I actually had no words to express wat m feeling rite nw (den to Ashish) Kuch seekho in dono se, sirf aas paas rehne se hi pyaar nahi badhta aur bhi bahut kuch karna padta hai

Ashish: tum to aise keh rahi ho like if I wouldn't be near u den I should be having so many affairs

Deeps: Who knows?

Ashish: Deeps'.

Antara: Acha stop it u both. U both r married from last 3 years nd still fighting like u both use to do in college

Deeps: Dis habbit can nevr change Antara but seriously I truly admire u both as a couple. U both r inspiration for every couple. Infact pyaar ka doosra naam hi hai "Raghu aur Antara"

(ok I had taken dis line from d serial. Wat to do I totally loved dis statement)

Antara didn't said anything to dis nd looked other way not knowing wat to say while Raghu just smiles.

Raghu: ok I guess we have enough of talks nw lets finish d dinner.

He said nd all of dem started having dere Dinner

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

NEXT PAGE

wow really nice he remebers everything he said true love

After d Dinner both Raghu nd Antara returned back to Hotel Room Promising Ashish nd Deeps dat dey will definitely attend d Party next day. Raghu knows dat numerous questions must be running in Antara's mind nd she'll definitely ask him as soon as she finds him alone nd frankly speaking he's not in d mood of any kind of confontration. Everything feels so right so Gud nd Dat Marriage part was not a lie its truth. Its d thing dat he had promised himself since d day Antara has returned back but dis tym it was not easy to make her understand anything. He was just silently praying to God dat she forgets everything

Antara too wanted to talk to Raghu desperately rergarding all d fiasco. She needs to ask him numerous questions nd d most important thing dat she wanted to ask id dat y had he said to Deeps dat dey r going to be married soon. Its not like dat she doesn't like it sumwhere in her heart she felt happy in d same way like she felt wen he had proposed her for Marriage at her B'day though dat was indirectly but she was happy to know dat he's taking dere Relationship seriously but she didn't understand y has he said all dat today wen dere's nothing left between dem. is he still in hope dat everything will get fine between dem. she really needs to talk to him

Raghu: ummm Antara u go nd get change nd sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow morning. Ok

He said nd headed towards d cupboard to get his night dress wen Antara's voice stops him

Antara: Raghu..

He stop dead in his tracks nd closes his eyes just wishing dat she don't talk about wat all happened in Restaurant. He turned to look at her

Raghu: Ya Antara. any problem

Antara: I need to talk to u

Raghu: Not nw Antara. We'll talk tomorrow. Abhi u change nd go to sleep ok. Gud night

He said nd turned to leave only to stopped by her again

Antara: Raghu, I need to talk to u NOW!!!

Ok it was enough for him to listen to her. He knows dat she was not going to leave him so easily derefore he has left wid no other option but to listen to her.

Raghu: yes

Antara: wat do u think u were doing at d restaurant?

Raghu: Wat?

Antara: y had u said to Deeps dat we r going to be Married soon? Raghu we both knows it very well dat whatever u had said is not true den y had u lied to dem? Y didn't u told dem d truth? Y had u taken all blame on urself? Y had u...

Raghu (putting finger on her lips): Chup! Bilkul Chup! I'll answer all Urquestions but first u answer my one question dat y haven't u told dem 5 years back dat we broke up? dat we r not together? Haan Antara Bolo?

She casted her eyes down trying to find d answer

Antara: Wo... Main...

Raghu: Wo kya Antara? Bolo na

She said nothing nd looked other way avoiding his questions. He moves her face towards him nd cradled her face from one side so dat she can meet his gaze

Raghu: I know y? Because u can't see anyone questioning me; anyone pointing fingers on me den hw can u expect Antara dat I can see anyone questioning u? hw can I see anyone reminding u of dose painful memories dat u dnt want to remember? Hw can I see anyone asking u dat y u haven't told dem truth 5 years back? Datsy I had said all dat nd Antara I don't Regret it at all. I dnt regret for whatever I said over dere. Still u wanted to ask anything

Antara: But Raghu, y had u promised dem dat we r going to attend their Marriage anniversary Party?

Raghu: Antara dey were ur friend nd has met u after so many years nd wanted u to be d part of their happiness isn't it would be rude if u dnt go over dere

Antara: But Raghu...

Raghu: Antara it's just a matter of one day only. We'll manage. Hhmmm

She slowly nodded not knowing wat to say further

Raghu: acha now u go nd Get change. Nd after dat sleep ok.

Suddenly Antara remembers of sumthing

Antara: Raghu wo...

Raghu: nw wat happen Antara?

Antara: Wo... I wanted to say dat... U sleep on d Bed nd I'll sleep on d couch

Raghu: dnt be silly Antara. U'll not able to sleep on d couch so its better u sleep on d bed nd I'll sleep on d couch

Antara: No Raghu I'll sleep on d couch

Raghu: Ab ye kaun si Zid hai Antara. Maine kaha Na dat u'll sleep on d bed nd dats final

Antara: u can't force me Raghu.

Raghu: ofcourse I can force u

She said nothing but looked other side. Raghu knows she's stubborn nd not going to listen easily.

Raghu: ok I found a way. Se we r going to stay over here for 2 nights so aaj raat tum bed pe so jayo kal main so jayunga nd waise bhi I have to finish sum work so mujhe der raat tak jagna padega. so u go to sleep ok

Antara: But...

Raghu: Antara no more Arguments nw. it's decided.

Antara (slowly): ok

She said nd takes her night dress nd headed towards Washroom to change. Raghu too changes into vest nd tracks nd switches on d TV to watch sum Business news

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

After a while Antara came out from d Washroom nd found Raghu engrossed in TV Initially she thought dat he's watching some Business news but soon realizes dat he's not watching Business News but sumthing else wen he saw Raghu getting too much excited for sumthing. She slowly walks towards him to find out wat was he watching

Raghu: Yes Yes Yes... C'mon catch it Man... C'mon... Damn! U left d catch.

It takes Antara no tym to register wat he was watching. Cricket, his First Love; after which he forgets very sorroundings of his. He still hasn't changed a bit. She still remembers her first date wid him where she was waiting for Machmach nd Ruksana at d parking lot after dere date while he was continuously conversing wid Watchman asking him scores nw nd den. At dat tym he forgot dat she was also wid him. nd today also he still had same crazyness for Cricket.

She smiles seeing st his excitement. He was really behaving like a kid. Who can believe dat he's same Raghu Naik who was ruthless, arrogant nd Rude. Now Look at dis Raghu Naik who was watching Cricket like his own stake is in danger. Her thoughts have been broken wen she listened another hoot from him.

Raghu: Yes. He's bowled. Gud job guys.

She rolled over her eyes thinking dat he's nowhere to stop nd if she haven't done anything den dis Cricket session will go on whole night because knowing him he was too crazy for Cricket dat he'll watch even d highlights also after dat. thinking dis she goes towards him nd stands in between him nd TV.

Raghu: Antara, Saamne se hato itna important over hai.

But she didn't moved an inch nd remained standing over dere wid her arms crossed over her chest. Soon Raghu realizes dat he has been actually caught by her for watching Cricket. He quickly looked other way to hide his embarrassment.

Antara: hhmmm so dis was Ur important work right for which u have to stay awake till late at night.

Raghu: nahi Wo... Actually... I was watching news

Antara: oh! So according to u. its business news (she said while pointing d TV)

Raghu: Nahi Wo...

Antara: Anyways. Mujhe Movie dekhni hai (she said while sitting at d couch) so uske liye tumhe ye match hatana hoga

She said nd changes d channel.

Raghu: Antara, kya kar rahi ho. See its very important Match Pls let me see dat. Acha I promise I'll watch only one over. Please

Antara: Raghu first of all dis is not LIVE match dat u r so much excited to see it. its d repeated one nd secondly I m not feeling sleepy nd if u keep on watching cricket like dis only den I'll be not able to sleep at all derefore I'll watch Movie

Raghu: Antara, Pls. acha promise just one over. Pls Pls Pls

He said literally pleading like a kid but evil Antara seems dat she's nowhere affected by his words. Finally his patience gave up nd he knows wat he has to do now. He quickly holds Antara's hand nd tries to snatch away remote from her. Antara who first didn't realize wat is going on but den quickly gets herself ready nd as a reflex action Antara holds d Remote in her other hand nd gets up from d couch nd goes other side of d it

Raghu: Antara give me d Remote

Antara: No Ways! I wont give it to u otherwise tum fir se Match laga loge

Raghu: Antara I said Na only one over

Antara: Not even a single ball Mr. Raghu Naik

Dey both were conversing while revolving around d Couch. Raghu tries hard to take remote from her but Everytym she escapes from him. Finally he gets hold of him nd pulled her towards him by her waist. Antara tries to withdraw herself from his grip but his grip gets tighter which make both of dem Lose dere balance nd together dey hit d couch nd Antara ended up falling over Raghu hiding her face in his neck unexpectedly kissing him over dere. At dat moment Tym froze for both of dem. none of dem wat happened all of a sudden but whatever happened both of dem loved it

D moment Raghu felt her lips on his skin he closed his eyes nd hugged her tighter to feel her touch, to keep her close to his heart. At dat moment Antara too gives in nd remained in his embrace keeping her head on his chest. whole room seems to be silent at dat tym. ony d sounds of dere heavy breathing nd rapid heartbeats r audible to dem at dat tym. She closed her eyes as she felt his heartbeats. Both loved d feeling of being close to each other like dis. he snaked his hands at her back sending shivers down her spines. All thoughts which compelled her to stay away from him seems baseless to her. She thought dat it'll be easy for her to stay away from him but she knows dat it was nothing but a mere lie to herself. She knows she can't stay away from him wenever he comes close to her. Datsy she feared to share one room wid Raghu because she knows dat she'll again lose herself if she stays close to him. But right now all dis seems meaningless to her. All wat she knows is dat she's close to him. She knows she's melting; she's melting in his arms just like always nd strangely she was loving dis feeling. She wanted him to hold her close to him like dis only

For Raghu it was dat one of d beautiful moment dat he had dreamt of. Holding his lyf close to him; to never to let her go away from him. How he'd dreamt of this moment countless times in dese 5 years; how he had wished to hold her close to him in dese 5 years so dat even if she wants to den also she cant go away from him. 5 years; 5 whole years she was away from him punishing herself for loving him, for trusting him nd here he was in darkness wid only Loneliness nd Regret in his lyf for not understanding her, for taking her for granted. Nd d moment she came back to his lyf for whatever d reason is he felt like being d same Raghu dat he was 5 years back; carefree nd oblivious of anything because he knows dat she's dere to take care of him; to rule on him like she did just now. No Matter hw much she tries to go away from him but destiny always landed up to bring her close to him just like nw. may be she's not realizing it dis tym but soon she too will realize

Dey both don't know hw long dey were dere in each other embrace all dey know is dat were feeling complete by being so close to each other. Antara moves her hand on his shoulders slightly hugging him. He dipped his head in her hairs inhaling her aroma; d same aroma dat has always drived him crazy. He nuzzled in her neck nd softly placed a kiss over dere slowly making his way towards her shoulder. Dis is wen Antara realized in wat condition dey are. If she haven't stopped here right now den may be dey both can go too far because she knows she can't control herself if she will remain in his arms like dis only. She quickly lifted her face nd tries to get off from him nd dis is wen Raghu came into his senses nd realizes wat he was doing. He quickly frees her from his embrace nd looks other way. She slowly gets up nd after a while he too gets up.

Dey both looks other way to regain their senses. Both doesn't know wat should dey say to each other. It was not just one person mistake. Dey both were at fault. If he had lost himself den she too was lost in dat moment but for now dey need to break dis awkward silence between dem to make d other one feel better.

SCROLL DOWN

Antara: Wo... tum Match dekh lo. I'll go to sleep

Raghu: No its ok tum Movie dekh lo. I'll also watch dat

Antara: No u dnt need to compromise. Waise bhi m feeling sleepy so u watch Ur Match nd m going to sleep

Raghu: Ek Minute Antara. I knw u r not feeling sleepy so better dnt lie nd waise bhi Match should be over by now so lets watch d movie

Antara: But...

Raghu: No more Arguments nw. Pls.

Antara: ok.

She said nd dey both sat on d couch surfing d TV channels to see if any Movie is cuming. But none of dem is concentrating on TV channels. Unwillingly both of dere minds r drifted to d moment dey shared few mins back which was making dem uncomfortable. Its been 15 mins dey r surfing different TV channels yet couldn't able to get settle on one.

Raghu: Antara, m surfing d channel from last 15 mins yet u couldn't able to decide any movie yet

Antara: Dats not my fault Raghu if dere's no gud Movie coming over dere

Raghu: o ya! Bekaar me hoi mera tym waste kar diya. Isse to acha hota ki main apna Match hi dekh leta

Antara: O Hello! I haven't asked u for not watching d match

Raghu: O ya! Datsy few mins back u r fighting wid me for d remote nd after dat... (he left his sentence mid way realizing wat he was about to say)

Antara (trying to light d situation): Haan to! At dat moment I was not knowing dat no gud movie is cuming on d TV nd til nw u have searched only half of channels may be we'll find a gud movie in next channel

Raghu: Fine! Next channel will be d last one. If no gud movie is cuming over dere den I'll watch my Match. Deal?

Antara: Deal!

Raghu changed d channel while Antara silently prayed dat any gud movie is cuming over dere or else she has to see d match wid Raghu. Luckily or unluckily in d next cghannel a Horror Movie is cuming. Raghu smirks knowing Antara never watches Horror Movies infact she gets scared by its name only.he still remembers wen dey both have gone to haunted house. Antara was not even ready to step inside it first nd after lots of hard irk she gets in but she didnt even watch her sideways while he was enjoying each nd every thing nd hooting nd she keeps her eyes close whole pathway while clutching his arm tight due to fear. nd after dat she was hell scared every moment infact he talked to her whole nite just to make her feel better. nd nw also he can bet dat she'll not be able to watch dis movie nd it means he can see his match peacefully nw

Raghu: So! Its decided m going to see my Match nw

Antara: Who said dat?

Raghu: Well according to deal dis channel was d last one nd here a horror Movie is cuming nd I knw u dnt like Horror Movie so ultimately I'll watch cricket nw

Antara: Den u r in misconception Mr. Raghu Naik because m going to watch dis movie only

Raghu (not believeing): Really?

Antara: yes

Raghu: Antara, dis is horror Movie

Antara: So?

Raghu: So u r scared of horror movies

Antara: dat was past Raghu but nw I use to see Horror Movies.

Raghu: But Antara...

Antara: 5 years r enough Raghu to change everything

Raghu didn't argument further knowing where dis Argument may lead to

Raghu: Fine den lets see den.

He said nd both started to watch d movie nd as expected Antara was really getting scared of it. its just been 20 mins nd antara is already shivering due to fear but she didn't make obvious to Raghu because she knows dat he'll make fun of her but least she knows at he's watching her continuously nd has seen her getting scared too. He tried to distract her

Raghu: C'mon Antara. ye itni bhi Horror movie nahi hai dat u r getting scared of it so much. Infact m getting bored of watching it. Nd u knw wat dis movie is an insult in d name of Horror movies

Antara: Raghu, horror Movies Horror movies hi hoti hai nd waise bhi kisne kaha dat m getting scared of watching it

Raghu: o ya! Datsy u r sweating in d month of December

Antara (checking her forehead): Wat? Ofcourse not wo... Actually... Haan wo I just had a medicine for headache na datsy m sweating. It's normal

Raghu: o really

Antara: ya nd stop distracting me nd let me concentrate on movie

Raghu: Fine

He said nd dey both again started to watch d movie. Another an hour has been passed nd by every passing second it was getting difficult for Antara to watch Movie any further but she can't make it obvious to Raghu thanx to her so called Ego. She cursed herself for agreeing to his deal but she can't even back out now. Everytym any hooror face came on TV she closes her eyes tightly to not to look at it but she cant help it wid sounds.

On d other hand Raghu is finding dis movie extremely boring infact he found Antara's change of expression interesting nd for him d best movie is going on beside him. He just kept looking at Antara by every now nd den nd smiles seeing her stubbornness.

Another 1 hr. has been passed nd movie was about to finish. Raghu was watching d movie wen he heard d sound of sniffing. He frowned nd look beside him nd found Antara weeping silently as it was d climax of d movie nd Actor dies in vain of saving d actress from d clutches of evil spirit which makes Antara emotional nd she started weeping silently without having slightest knowledge dat he's watching her weeping. He rolled over his eyes seeing her like dat.

"O gosh! Sumbody tell her dat it was just a movie" he thought

Well wat else he can expect from her. She's d girl who was crying wen she saw "Jab we met". In his view dere was nothing in dat movie which can make sumone cry but for her, she found d confession part touching nd she cries seeing it. She's too sensitive wen it comes to emotions so if she crying rite nw den its pretty obvious.

He just shakes his head in disbelief nd picks d wipes from his side nd passes to her. She takes it absent mindedly nd wipes away her tears. he again passes nd she again takes it nd wipes away d tears. Like dis he passes 4-5 tymes wen Antara realizes dat Raghu has caught her weeping. She immediately wipes away her tears nd makes a straight face to show dat she's not crying. Raghu again pass d wipe but she didn't take it dis tym

Antara: Wat?

Raghu: u were crying na. so here take it

Antara: m not crying ok. Wats dere in d movie which can make me cry.

Raghu: dats wat I want to know. Y u were crying?

Antara: m not crying

Raghu: ok den y dese drops r cuming out from ur eyes (he said while pointing towards her eye)

Antara (while touching her eye): Wo... Actually... haan wo main itni der se continuously TV dekh rahi thi na isiliye wo eyes se pani aa raha tha

Raghu: oh Ok! Aur to koi baat nahi hai na

Antara: nahi aur kya baat hogi.

Raghu: ok fine den. Waise movie is finished nw so I guess we should go to sleep nw.

Antara: ya ok. By d way where will u sleep.

Raghu: Antara, r u okay? Just few hrs back we have decided dat I'll sleep on d couch nd u'll sleep on d bed

Antara: oh ya! Ok den Gud nite

Raghu: gud nite.

Antara: bye

Raghu: bye

She turned to leave wen Raghu stops her

Raghu: Waise Antara! Raat me zara aaram se sona. Kya pata wo evil spirit aa jaye

Antara: shut up! Evil Spirit jaisa kuch nahi hota nd waise bhi m not scared of anything

Raghu: well its gud if u r not scared. Maine to aise hi keh diya tha. Gud nite den

Antara: (trying to hide her fear): ya gud nite

She said nd nd goes towards d bed. Raghu smiles nd gets himself laid on d couch. He looks at Antara who was still sitting in d bed getting scared. He smiles seeing her like dat nd goes to sleep.

On the other hand Antara was not having even dis much courage dat she can atleast lay on bed. She calms herself manytymes by saying dat dere's no such evil spirit exist but it fails Everytym.

Antara (to herself): Antara, kya zarurat thi tujhe Horror Movie dekhne ki ab dekh tujhe darr lag raha hai Na. Isse to acha hota ki Main Raghu ko cricket dekhne deti. Nw see its getting difficult for me to even sleep. (She looks at Raghu who was having her eyes closed) Dekho wo kitne aaram se so raha hai. Antara, ye evil spirit wagerah kuch nahi hota hai. Babaji ka naam le nd go to sleep. Hai Na. haan.

She said nd puts d blanket over her nd goes to sleep.

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

1 hr. has been passed nd it was past midnight but Antara couldn't able to sleep a wink. Everytym she closes her eyes she remembers dat horror faces in front of her. Many tymes she felt dat d Lady Ghost in d movie is sitting next to her calling her name. she shuts her eyes tight to get rid of all dese thoughts but failed Everytym. Finally she gets up ns switch on d lights feeling hell scared.

She knows dat like dis she'll not be able to sleep a wink nd if she wont be able to sleep, den she wont be able to get up early next day nd dey'll again be get late for d land. She looked at Raghu who was sleeping peacefully. She slowly gets up from d bed nd goes towards him. She dnt want to disturb him while sleeping but she can't even spend whole nite also like dis. she slowly poked his shoulders to wake him up

Antara (slowly): Raghu! Raghu utho na please

Least she knows dat Raghu was not sleeping at all. Hw can he sleep peacefully wen his Antara was not able to sleep a wink. He was continuously watching Antara struggling hard to sleep. He was about to go to her wen he saw her cuming towards him. he quickly closes his eyes nd pretends to sleep.

Antara: Raghu pls utho. Raghu!

He was trying hard to not to laugh while she was waking him up. He thought of teasing her first nd den he'll wake up but seeing d seriousness in her voice he decided to not to tease her further. He frowned a bit wen Antara poked him again.

Antara: Raghu! Get up pls

He slowly opens his eyes while rubbing nd looks at Antara. he instantly gets up wen he saw her worried face

Raghu: Antara, kya hua? Is everything ok?

Antara: Ya. Everything is fine

Raghu: den wat happen

Antara: Wo... I was thinking ki tumhe couch pe neend nahi aa rahi hogi I mean u must be feeling cold so y dnt u sleep on bed

Raghu: No Antara, m perfectly fine. Dnt worry, u go nd sleep peacefully ok.

Antara: Nahi Raghu! Tum pls chalke Bed pe so jao. U'll not feel comfortable over here.

Raghu: Antara (he said while making her sit on couch) kya baat hai? Dar lag raha hai?

Antara: nahi wo...

Raghu: Antara, I knw u better den u. I knw u r feeling scared. Rite?

She slowly nodded in yes

Raghu: To fir kaha kyun nahi? U thought dat I'll make fun of it?

She said nothing nd dipped her head

Raghu (while holding her hand): Antara I tease u dats different thing but due to dat dis fact cant be changed dat I care for u a lot. No matter whatever has happened between us in past but due to dat my care for u cannot be changed nd derefore dere's no need of u to hesitate while telling Ur fear or problem to me. Hhmmm

She nodded slowly nd looks at him only to find him looking at her lovingly. Dere was a brief eye-lock moment between dem for sumtym but soon Antara breaks d eye lock nd looked other way.

Raghu: Antara... chalo go to sleep nw

Antara: But...

Raghu: Dnt worry. I'll also come wid u

She looks at him blankly nd Raghu realizes dat may be she's taking it in wrong sense

Raghu: I mean to say; if only u dnt have any problem den I'll sleep on d other side of d bed.

Antara: No, it's not like dat...

Raghu: Dnt worry I'll keep safe distance between us ok.

Antara: I knw Raghu, I knw dat u'll not do anything which is not right or which will make me uncomfortable.

Raghu smiles listening to her. Indirectly she has again confesses dat she trusts him which was enough for him to believe in d fact dat very soon she'll cum back to him forgetting all d things dat has been happened in their past.

Raghu: chale

She slowly nodded nd dey both moves towards d bed. He slowly make her lay on d bed nd puts d blanket on her. None of dem breaks d eye-lock in between. He goes towards his side of bed nd gets laid over dere facing towards Antara. Antara turns to his side to make sure dat he was dere. Raghu smiles nd slowly blinks his eyes gesturing dat "he's dere only, she dnt have to worry nw". Antara felt relieved nd closed her eyes nd soon drifted off to sleep.

Raghu: Gud nite Mis call

he said nd kept watching at her sleeping figure nd didn't realize wen he too drifted off to sleep. May be dis was d best sleep he had till nw by having his Angle sleeping beside him ever so peacefully

SCROLL DOWN

Part 24:

She slowly nodded nd dey both moves towards d bed. He slowly make her lay on d bed nd puts d blanket on her. None of dem breaks d eye-lock in between. He goes towards his side of bed nd gets laid over dere facing towards Antara. Antara turns to his side to make sure dat he was dere. Raghu smiles nd slowly blinks his eyes gesturing dat "he's dere only, she dnt have to worry nw". Antara felt relieved nd closed her eyes nd soon drifted off to sleep.

Raghu: Gud nite Mis call

He said nd kept watching at her sleeping figure nd didn't realize wen he too drifted off to sleep. May be dis was d best sleep he had till nw by having his Angle sleeping beside him ever so peacefully

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

Next day as d morning rays hit d sky Raghu slowly opened his eyes as d sunrays coming thru d window falls on his eyes forcing him to open dem. he opens his eyes slowly nd rubs dem in order to get rid from his sleep.

He streached his one Arm nd tries to get up from d bed wen he felt something heavy on his chest. He frowned nd looks downward nd saw d most beautiful sight he can ever see. Antara was sleeping peacefully by resting her head on his chest, hugging him tightly while his one hand was around her waist holding her close to him. How he'd dreamt of this moment countless times in dese 5 years, how he'd wished for to fall asleep with her in his arms and get up early just so he could grab a chance to watch her sleep peacefully.

Dere was a slight smile on her face while sleeping. He too smiles seeing her smile. He can do anything, can go to any extent just to make her smile; d same smile which he himself washed away from her face just due to his silly mistake 5 years back. But nw he'll leave no stone unturned to fix everything.

He looked at her angelic face; d most beautiful face he had ever seen in his lyf; d same face which has taken his heart away right from d day since he has first saw her nd since den dis is d only face dat has embedded in his heart. He moves his hand towards her face slowly removing d strands dat were blocking his view. He tucked dem behind her ears nd caress her cheeks for sumtym feeling her soft skin nd finally he kissed her forehead nd slowly places her head on d pillow because he knows dat as soon as she'll get up she'll not feel comfortable wid dere position nd dis was d last thing he wanted derefore he placed her head carefully on d pillow making sure dat she didn't get disturbed nd gets up from d bed.

He wears his shirt nd writes a note nd keeps it on d side table nd dtarted heading outside for d Jog. He stopped nd looked at her sleeping figure once more before leaving nd goes out of d room.

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

Antara got up after a while. She don't know y but suddenly she started feeling uncomfortable like sumthing cozy has been away from her. She felt it all weird dat she was sleeping so peacefully till nw but suddenly she was not feeling comfortable on d same pillow.

She gets up finally nd rubs her eyes to get rid off from her sleep. She looked at her side nd found d other side of her bed empty. She scanned her eyes around whole room to find him but he was nowhere to be seen. Finally her yes fell on d note at d side table. She quickly picks it up nd opens it to read it

"Good Morning Sleeping Beauty. Going for a jog will return soon. U get ready in d mean tym nd after dat we have to go to see d land.

Raghu"

She smiles slightly after reading d note nd gets up from d bed nd goes towards Washroom.

After a while wen Raghu came back he found dat Antara is already ready nd was reading a magazine. He coughed to gain her attention. She instantly looked up at him nd smiled.

Antara: Gud Morning!

Raghu: Gud Morning! U ready?

Antara: ya nd u also freshen up soon nd I'll order d Breakfast after dat we have to go for d site

She said nd was about to pick d intercom wen Raghu came nd interrupted her

Raghu: I had already ordered for it while cuming towards Room so dnt worry

Antara (murmers): Haan kiya hoga apna wohi Boring sa continental Breakfast or just Milk nd cornflakes

Raghu (narrows his Brows): Kuch kaha tumne?

Antara: Haa.. No I was just saying dat thanx for dat. I think u should go nd freshen up nw

Raghu: hhmmm

He was about to go to d washroom wen Antara again stops him

Antara: Raghu...

Raghu: hhmmm

Antara: thanx

Raghu: for wat Antara?

Antara: for sleeping at bed wid me last nite

Raghu: u dnt have to say thanx for it Antara. Infact I wanted to thank u for let me sleeping wid u at d bed

Antara looks at him in d confusion nd Raghu realizes wat he was going to say.

Raghu: I mean last nite u escaped me from sleeping at sofa na datsy

Antara: oh ok

Raghu: I think I should really go nd freshen up nw otherwise we'll be late.

Antara: hhhmmm

Antara: Bye.

She said nd cuts d call. In d mean while Room service came wid dere breakfast. He places it in d room nd left.

Antara: Chal Antara! Get ready for his boring nd tasteless continental breakfast.

She said nd opens d Lid of d bowl but as she opens it she was surprised to see d content in it. It was not his continental breakfast but it was her fav. Aaloo Paratha nd other dishes. She was nt able to think dat y Raghu has ordered dis breakfast wen he himself never eat anything beyond sprouts. She was standing dere wondering wen Raghu came from Washroom nd looked her surpised expression

Raghu: Kya hua Antara? y u r watching Breakfast as u had saw any ghost. Kahi wo Movie wala ghost to nahi dikh raha tumhe

Antara (cuming out from her trance): huh... No I was just looking at d breakfast

Raghu: Dat m seeing but y r u looking at it like dis?

Raghu: ya Antara. but y r u asking like dis

Antara: Since wen u had started eating Parathas. U never eat anything beyond Sprouts

Raghu: so... Dat doesn't mean dat I can't eat Parathas

Antara: but Raghu u dnt like it

Raghu: But u like it Na

Dats it, she couldn't say anything further. He never stops to surprise her wid his Patience nd his unconditional Love. hw much she wished dat dose 5 years would never have been existed between dem den may be today dey both also would be a Happy Married Couple just Like Machmach-Ruksana nd Deeps-Ashish but unfortunately it did nd today they r in d same room but due to circumstances.

Raghu saw d change in her expressions nd it took him no tym to register wat she's thinking but he dnt want her to think all dis nw wen dey were almost getting closer derefore he waves his fingers in front of her to bring her back from her thoughts

Raghu: Antara, kya soch rahi ho? C'mon lets have Breakfast after dat we have to go to see d land also

Ladies Section:

It was a challenge For Ashish to select a Dress for Deeps but for Raghu it's an opportunity to Select Dress for his Lady Love but still d Problem is same he's not able to select any suitable dress for him

Antara: ok.

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

Ladies' Section:

Raghu was wandering at Indian Wear Section while Ashish was at Western wear one. Raghu knows its useless to search anything for Antara in d Western Section. Not dat it'll not look Gud on her, infact she looks Gud in every thing but it was he who wants to see her in Indian wear which just adds Glow to her beauty. He knows dat she dnt belive in materialistic thing datsy he select Indian wear for her.

He was searching through many Dresses wen one thing caught his Attention. He saw a Red Saree at d Display. He immediately goes towards it to have a close look. It was Red net Saree nd was really looking beautiful. He ran a hand on it imagining Antara in dat.

He remembers d first tym he saw Antara. She was wearing Red Dress only nd was looking stunning in dat nd dere's no Doubt dat she'll look gud in dis too rather den any other dress. So without any second thought he asked shopkeeper to pack dat nd later on had selected Matching jewelleries for it too

Men's section:

Antara was searching thru sum Men's suits wen one suit at d dummy caught his attention. It was black Armani suit nd she had no doubt dat it'll look gud on Raghu's well Toned body. she always wanted to see him in dat but unfortunately haven't got chance so today dere's no doubt dat she'll buy dis for him. She smiles remembering d first tym wen she saw Raghu. Ok she dnt deny dat he was looking Extremely Hot nd for once she too gets Lost in his Physical Features but thanx to his Flirting she quickly came back to her senses

At dat tym she haven't thought dat dey can become couple afterwards. Well she haven't thought for dere present condition either. She frowned realizing d current status of dere relationship but soon regains herself realzing dat this id nt d tym to think all dis.

She purchases d suit for Raghu making sure 10 tymes dat it look gud on him.

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

Both Guys nd Girls reached d Parking Lot at d same tym running nd panting heavily. Wen dey reach at d spot dey looked at each other faces for sumtym nd started laughing

Ashish: ok we agree dat it's really difficult for u gals to select a dress. Rite Raghu?

Raghu: Absolutely

Deeps: Even we think d same so as for dis challenge none of us lose. Rite Antara?

Antara: ya

Ashish: So tell me wat u guys has purchased for us

Deeps: not nw

Raghu: y?

Deeps: I mean let's make it interesting. Ashish, Raghu give me Ur Packets nd Antara u too

Everyone gives dere shopping bags to her giving a confused look. She takes dem nd goes inside d shop nd return after sumtym empty hands only to get confusing look from everyone

Deeps: Wat?

Antara: wat was dat?

Deeps: oh dat see I want to make it a suspence. I had given dat dresses at d counter nd asks dem to deliver at our respective places in d evening nd den only we'll cum to know wat we had brought for each other

Raghu: But y?

Deeps: Because dere's a fun in getting restless especially den wen it was due to d person u love. I want us to be eager to know wat d other person has brought for us nd hw well dey know us

Antara: u r crazy

Deeps: I knw dat.

Antara said nothing but rolled her eyes

Raghu: I think we should leave nw. u both also have to see many preparations.

Ashish: I guess u r rite. Lets go den

He said nd dey all headed towards dere respective places

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

It as 6 pm nd Antara was pacing restlessly in d room. She was really eager to knw wat Raghu has selected for her but she has to wait until her dress arrives She was continuously cursing Deeps for her stupid idea which was making her wait dis much.

Raghu was sitting on d couch working on d Laptop. He was watching Antara from d corner of his eyes nd was enjoying his restlessness. Even he was eager to know wat Antara has selected for him but he had hidden it behind his work but poor Antara where will she go. She tried to ask Raghu many tymes but he pretended dat he was engrossed in work least she knows dat he was each nd every bit of restlessness. she decided to ask him one more tym

Antara: Raghu

Raghu (looking at Laptop): ummm

Antara: I need to ask u sumthing

Raghu: ya ask

Antara: Wo Dress...

She couldn't able to speak further as her cellphone rang. Initially she cursed d tyming of caller but den her face instantly lit up seeing d name of d caller. It was Arman's

Antara: hey Hi! Thank god u called

Arman: oho! Sumone is missing me badly

Antara: to be honest ya. Ya m missing u so much

Arman: I knw my Kiddo must be missing me datsy I called u. u see intuition

Antara: ya ya liar

Arman: ya insaan apne dil ki baat kehta hai to wo liar hi lagta hai

Antara (giggles): Shut up! tum thakte nahi cheesy lines bol bol kar

She didn't realized dat her conversations were gaining Raghu's attention who was again getting restless to know about d caller whom she's talking so freely. For one thing he was sure dat he was d same caller who called last day also but he didn't know who he was

Arman: Acha leave all dat. chal bata hws u?

Antara: m perfectly fine nd after talking to u m feeling so gud

Arman: I knw I knw mera charm hi kuch aisa hai. Acha I forgot to tell u wat happen last nite between me nd Shilpa

Nd he kept on telling hw he pacify her, hw dey talked nd hw dey finally able to sort out dere problems. Antara was smiling listening to his talks, sumtymes giggles nd sumtymes seems to be lost in his words thinking about d tymes of her nd Raghu. Raghu was noticing it all dis nd his jealousy nd restlessness knows no bounds. He decides to listen to dere conversation to get an idea to whom is she talking

Antara: Maine tumse kaha tha Na. everything will be fine

Arman: I knw my Kiddo's Prediction never gets wrong. Anyways u tell hws everything going over dere? Back to Mumbai?

Antara: no m still at Lonavala

Arman: y?

Antara: wo... had sum work stuck up datsy

Arman: Work or wanted to spend tym wid sumone (he teases)

Antara: ya ofcourse

Arman: NAHI!!!!!!!!!!!! wid whom?

Antara: u. if u would be here den I wpould love to lost wid u in dis beautiful sight so i thought of dreaming only wid u

She giggles softly

Arman: yaar tu to mera shaadi se pehle divorce karayegi

Antara: y u dnt have trust on ur Love

Arman: ofcourse I have but still sumtymes it creates problem after Marriage

Antara: ya sumtymes after Marriage it creates problem. But dnt worry it wont happen in our case

Ok dats it Raghu couldn't able to take it anymore. Last day she was saying I Love you nd today dey r talking about marriage nd all. Wat d hell r dey to each other. He quickly goes to her

Arman: ya ya I knw nd I dnt have to worry also as she trust our friendship

Antara: I knw nd even I trust on u b...

She was about to say both but couldn't complete as Raghu snatches d phone nd cuts d call in frustration. Antara looks at him in both anger nd confusion. It is d second tym he did dat while Raghu looked other side

Arman feels d line disconnected. He looks at d phone in confusion

Arman (to himself): Phir cut ho Gaya? Yaar ye Aajkal Network problem kitni ho rahi hai. Wenever me nd Kiddo talk to each other it always disconnects. Like someone dnt want us to communicate. I'll ask kiddo to switch to another network. Atleast we'll be able to talk peacefully den

He said nd goes back to his work

Back at India:

Antara was still giving angry glare to Raghu while Raghu didn't care. He keeps d phone other side nd goes back to couch to continue his work but dis tym Antara needs an explanation for his weird behaviour. She goes to him nd pokes him

Antara: Raghu

Raghu: ummm

Antara: Wat was Dat?

Raghu: Wat?

Antara: y did u cut my call? Dis is d second tym u done dis

Raghu: I was getting disturbed

Antara: oh just cut d crap Raghu. From last day u r behaving so weird, last day u cut my call saying dat u r nt able to concentrate on Driving nd today u saying dat it was disturbing ur work. Just tell me sumthing y it disturbs u at dat tym only wen I talk to Arman?

Raghu: Antara, its not lyk dat. I was just... (he paused for a second realizing wat did she just said) Wat did u just said? Arman? U were talking to Arman?

Antara: Yes, m talking to him only; yesterday also nd today also wen u cut d call both d tym.

Raghu: but u were saying Luv u to him yesterday

Antara: Did u let myself complete yesterday? I was about to say I Love you too Paro

Raghu: Paro? Y?

Antara: because he use to call me Devdas because I proposed him once. I told u about dat remember?

Raghu: ya I remember? But u were talking about Marriage?

He said in a low voice confusingly

Antara: o God Raghu, it was about his nd Shilpa's relationship

Raghu: Shilpa?

Antara: ya, Armann's fianc. Wo dey had a fight which has been sorted out nw. we were talking about dat only. Nd in dat vain only we talked about d Protection. U knw how close me nd Arman r so we were just talking dat though Arman has trust on Shilpa dat she's not having any Problem wid it nd neither will have after dere Marriage too. So we were talking about Arman's nd Shilpa's Marriage not "MINE ND ARMAN'S"

she said while giving stress to last 3 words

Raghu can't tell hw much relieved he was to know dat Antara was talking to Arman all dese tymes. He was really a fool to think dat Antara is in relationship wid sumone else. Hw can she Love someone else wen only he's dere in her heart. wen in dese 5 years he cant stop Loving her den hw can she? He smiled at his own foolishness nd sumwhere felt bad too as even for a fraction of second only he suspected her; though it was out of jealousy but dat doesn't mean he should suspect her especially den wen he knows dat she Loves him more den anything

He came out from her thoughts wen Antara spoke again

Antara: By d way wat did u thought? Whom u thought m talking to?

Raghu: nothing Antara. I haven't thought anything of dat sort

Antara: no, dere's sumthing. Waut a sec. u were thinking dat m talking to someone special like my Boyfriend

Raghu: Absolutely not Antara... I seriously haven't thought anything of dat sort(he said while trying to hide his insecureness)

Antara: No u were thinking dat only datsy u cut d call both d tymes

Raghu: Antara its not like...

He couldn't complete as dey heard d knock on dere Door. Raghu really thanked to d person whoever it was for his tyming as he was his saviour at dis tym

Raghu: Main dekhta hoon

He said nd goes to open d Door. It was delivery boy who came to deliver dere dresses. Raghu takes it nd goes towards Antara who was still standing wid a golgappa face

Raghu: Wo... Dresses r here

He said while giving it to her. She almost snatched it from him nd goes towards Washroom to freshen up. Raghu just smiles seeing her anger. Ufff hw much he had missed all dis in dese 5 years. He looked at the packet in his hand nd realizes dat clothes inside it was selected by Antara. he opens d Packet nd smiles looking at her choice. He knows dat she has d best taste in everything nd wen it cumes to him she'll always choose d best like she did now.

He takes d suit nd goes to change

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

Antara in d washroom continuously cursing Raghu for his immature behaviour. God knows wats Wrong wid him, y did he did dat. den she reminds of his questions dat he asked from her nd reaklization struck her.

"O God! Was he jealous? He thought dat I was talking to my Boyfriend" she thought

She smiles at his possessiveness. He is still d same, Still possessive about her. She looked at d packet nd opened it as fast s she camn to look wat he had bought for her nd she was dumbstruck to kook at d Dress. It was beautiful Red Saree. She ran a hand over it to feel it. Her eyes become moist seeing his choice. It was d most beautiful gift she ever got.

Antara: thanx Raghu.

She said slowly nd went to change

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

Raghu was pacing restlessly in d Lobby nd watching his watch by every now nd den. God knows wats taking her so much tym. He was eagerly waiting to see her in d dress he chose for her. he again looks at d door which was still closed.

He sighes nd decided to go inside to check himself wen suddenly d door opens nd he saw d most beautiful sight of his whole Lyf. His Angel standing over dere in d Red Saree looking as stunning as always. His heart missed several Beats seeing her in Saree. Dis was d first tym he saw her in Saree nd he was happy dat he choses right dress for her. she was looking breathtaking nd she had definitely took his breath away. It was impossible for him to remove his gaze from her. he was so lost in her dat he didn't realize wen he started moving towards her.

Antara was standing over dere feeling shy due to his intence gaze on her. dis was not d forst tym he was seeing her wid his intense gaze but still she was feeling Butterflies running in her stomach like d very first tym dey came close to each other. She was never in Saree before him nd today she was feeling nervous wen she saw herself in d mirror nd now Raghu's gaze as making her more nervous. By d tym she compose herself she saw Raghu standing front of her so close looking at her intently

Precap:

She was smiling at Deeps words wen suddenly she saw a person standing at d corner of d bar. Her eyes widened due to shock nd unknowingly she tightens her grip on Raghu's Arms. Raghu looks at Antara who was looking tensed nd den to d direction where she was looking or to d person who has made her so tense.
