PART 10

She said nd leave from dere leaving him behind dumbfounded, lost nd alone.

He saw her going across d Road. He wanted to stop her, talk to her, tell her wat he feels without her. But couldn't to say a single word to her nd after wat she said to him he didn't have enough courage also to say anything to her. Today also she didn't questioned him once but her silence nd d meaning in her words has said everything to him.

She was walking slowly at d Road. She don't to take taxi for her home today as she needed sumtym wid her alone. She still didn't understand y Raghu has came to meet her today nd wat does he mean by making everything like before? Is dat so easy? Even she don't know from where did she get dis much courage dat she didn't cried in front of him. Only she knows hw hard it was for her to control her tears in front of him. She don't want to get weak in front of him because she knows dat it was useless because dere is no relationship left between dem. Yes she saw d guilt in his eyes, she could never fail to misread dem but dat was not enough to forget everything, forget every pain dat was given by him.

Her trail of thoughts has been stopped wen she saw a Bike stopping in front of her. She first got a bit scared but den smiles wen she saw a Familiar face in front of her. It was none other den Arman.

Arman: Somebody Wanna Lift?

Antara: Arman! Tu yahan? Nd u on Bike today?

Arman: Well, if u had forgot den let me remind u dat I was Passionate towards Bikes in my College days. So today I decided to Ride Bike instead of Car just to relive d older days

Antara: But wat r u doing over here?

Arman: Actually Misha has told me dat ur Friends r very Hot nd Stunning so I decided to try my luck over here. But I think m Late. Damn dis traffic na

Antara (hits playfully at his shoulders): Arman... Sudhar ja.

Arman: well I dnt think dat it would be possible in dis Birth atleast. Anyways u wanna Lift? Let me tell u, u r very lucky dat m asking u to give a Lift. U knw girls die in dis Hope dat some day Arman asks dem to give a lift

Antara: Arman...

Arman: Ok ok I knw u love to take my name Again nd again but u can do dis on d way back to home also. Nw come fast Girlfriend (Antara's Mom) is waiting for u at Home.

Antara (smiles): ok

She said nd gets seated at d back of her bike nd he starts heading towards home

Raghu was watching all dis from far. He recognizes d Guy. He was d same guy who was wid Antara at Mc. Donald's dat day. He dnt knw y but he felt Jealous. He felt jealous wen he saw dat guy close to Antara. He felt jealous wen he saw dat Antara is smiling wid him nd his hands turned into fist wen he saw Antara going wid him. He still don't know wats happening to him. Its Good dat Antara is trying to move on in her lyf. He should be happy for her den y he's not happy. Y he's feeling like dat someone is snatching his lyf away from him. If d feeling between dem was not love den y he's feeling like dis. y he cant see Antara wid someone else? Y is he behaving like a Possessive Lover if he was never in love wid Antara. He closed his eyes to find d answers but couldn't able to find it so he decided to go Home may be he could able to figure out over dere reason behind his restlessness.

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

Wen Antara reached Home she gets totally surprised. D Living Room was very well decorated wid Balloons nd d Flowers nd a Congratulations Poster was pasted on d Wall. She looked at d Table nd her fav. Butter scotch cake was dere nd her Mom were preparing her fav. Dishes at d Kitchen nd Misha was busy in giving final touch to Decorations wen she notices Antara standing over dere

Misha: hey Wildy! U came. Mom! Wildy is here.

Antara: Mish! Wats all dis

Misha: Sorry Wildy jaldi me bas itna hi ho paya nd dat Too wid d Help of Arman Bhaiya.

Antara: But hw do u guys know about my presentation. Wait a Sec. Deeps rite?

Misha: yes actually Deepika Di she has called us to tell about ur performance over dere wen judges r praising u nd we had started our preparations since den only.

Antara: ye Deeps bhi na. koi Baat nahi pachti iske pet me.

Misha: let it be na Wildy. By the way m very Proud of u. u really rock over dere nd Afterall u r my sis.

Arman: Ahem! Ahem! If u guys have forgetten den m also over here

Misha: ofcourse not Arman Bhaiya.

Arman: Hey Mish! Hw many tymes had I told u dnt call me Bhaiya otherwise ur friends too considers me as dere Brothers only

Antara: Arman...

Misha Giggles nd den d celebration started. She cuts d cake while Arman nd Misha burst d Balloons. She feeds d cake to every1 nd den celebrates a Lot. nd after dat had d lovely Dinner made by her Mom. Arman noticed that sumthing is bothering her but decided not to ask her dat tym.

After Dinner Antara was sitting at d couch thinking about her meeting wid Raghu. She was not sure whether she should tell dis to anyone or not. She knows dat if she would tell about dis To Misha den she'll definitely get Mad again nd if she told to Machmach den may be it will result into a another argument between Raghu nd Machmach. Nd Arman? Well he don't even knw anything wat has happened between her nd Raghu den to whom she tell about all dis. she was lost in all dis thoughts wen Arman came nd sit next to her. She didn't realize dat he was sitting next to her until he spoke

Arman: Bahut Ache Aadmi the? Waise kaise ho gaya yeh sab?

Antara came out from her trail of thoughts nd looked at Arman in amused manner

Antara: wat?

Arman: Arey ab tum is tarah se kisi ki death ka Maatam mana rahi ho so I thought of asking u hw all dis happened?

Antara: Death?

Arman: O god Kiddo! Look urself at Mirror first. Ur facial expressions say like someone has died nd u r in his farewell ceremony.

Antara: Shut up Arman! Nothing like dat

Arman: den wats d Matter? See everyone is so happy for u. m noticing u from last few hrs something is bothering u. tell na wats it?

Antara (looking at him): Arman, walk pe chale pls.

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

Machmach: I really dnt get dis Dude! Y its bothering to u so much if she's spending her tym wid someone else?

Raghu: I dnt know

Machmach: u knw Raghu nd infact only u knw dat y its bothering to u. accept it Raghu dat u feeling jealous of dat guy

Raghu: ofcourse not

Machmach: o really den y does it affect u wen u saw Antara spending tym wid someone else. Isn't it good for her to move on in her lyf?

Raghu: I knw but...

Machmach: but wat? Do u want her to stuck up in her past. To wait for u especially wen she knows dat u'll never cum back to her. Y should she wait for u Raghu? U r d only one to tell her dat u dnt love her, dat it was just an Attraction den y u expect her from to wait for u, y u expect from her dat she wont move on in her lyf?

Raghu: its nt like dat.

Machmach: den wats it lyk? Accept it Raghu dat u r jealous of him because u think dat d guy wid Antara is taking ur place in her lyf. Nd u r afraid becoz u think dat Antara can fall for him.

Raghu: Dude! Its not like dat ok. M nt afraid of anything. Nd anyways I'll talk to u later I had some work. Bye

He said nd cuts d call without even giving Machmach chance to speak. Nd throws his cell phone at a corner. Machmach looks at his phone nd smiles. He very well understands d stage in which Raghu is. He knows dat dat day is not far away wen he'll realize his love for Antara

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

SCROLL DOWN

Antara nd Arman were walking on a silent road. She was not saying anything nd Arman was getting worried for her. He finally decides to break d Silence.

Arman: Ok I don't get dis? y u r so quiet? Kya hua hai Kiddo?

Antara: Arman, I dnt knw y but whenever I try to move on in my lyf something happens due to which I feel dat m still over dere only nd haven't moved on.

Arman said nothing but listened to her. Finally she's trying to opens her heart in front of him

Antara: Arman, I want to get over from all d things dat happened in past. I want to live for myself, I want show to d world wat I m? but I failed, I failed Everytym. Arman y don't anyone care for my feelings, my emotions. Y it was so easy for any1 to play wid my emotions. Nd most importantly y d hell I had given dis right to anyone to hurt me? Y I cant be strong like Preeti? Y I cant be Blunt like Pari? Y I can't be happy Like Ruksana? Y m I so nice to every1 dat at d end every1 breaks my heart? Nd den after dat hw can anyone expect me to forgive nd forget. Arman m not weak enough who goes insane in dis situation but m not strong enough also dat I forget everything so easily.

Arman notices d tears in her eyes but he dnt want to stop her

Antara: Y all dis happens only wid me Arman? Wat is my mistake? Y I can't be happy? Y I dnt have anyone to love me? M I dis much bad dat no one wants to love me? M I dis much bad dat I don't deserve anyone's Love? M I dis much Bad dat only loneliness is written in my destiny? Y every1 just leave me alone nd walks out like nothing has happened? I m Tired Arman. I m tired of getting hurted

Saying dis she broke down completely nd burst into tears. Arman cant take dis anymore. He quickly held her by her shoulders.

Arman: Kiddo Relax. Sambhalo apne aap ko

Antara quickly hugged him cried her heart out nd he too hugged her nd patted her back, consoling her. No matter hw much he irritates her, hw much dey fight wid each other, hw much dey Argue wid each other but at d end of d day she was his Best Friend infact his only Friend who knows him inside out. Nd he cant see her like dis. he had seen her broke down like dis just once before dis dat was at d death of her Father nd after dat it was d second tym he was seeing her lyk dis. By nw he was sure of one thing dat situation between her nd Raghu is more worse den he thought. But dat would be tackle afterwards rite nw wats important is to take her out from all dis. Hw could he tell her in dis state dat he has to leave for US in next 3-4 days. She needed him d most at dis tym nd he too cant leave her alone wen she was going thru dis phase. At d tym of Rahul he was not dere wid her nd only he knows hw badly he wanted to be wid her but he was a bit relaxed becoz at dat tym Ruksana was dere wid her nd he too talks to her every now nd then nd she overcomes from d wound given by him but dis tym he can bet dat she has not even let Ruksana know about all dis. wen she has not told anything to him yet from whom she has not hide anything of her lyf den Forget about dis dat she has told anything to Ruksana yet. But he had to get her out from all dis. he knows dat her self-confidence has not broken yet but it has startled a bit nd he needs to settle it down. He slowly pulls her out from his embrace nd cups her face between his hands.

Arman: Kiddo look at me. u dnt have to be like others. U r perfect in d way u r. nd U r not at all bad ok. U r my Kiddo Afterall nd my Kiddo is always a sweet, cute nd innocent girl who use to fight wid me, who use to shouts at me whenever I irritate her, who use to support me emotionally whenever I feel low. Just forget about everything, forget about every memory which gives u pain. U dnt have to live in d memories of dat person who doesn't understand ur value, who doesn't understand d value of ur emotions, ur feelings. U deserve a perfect person in ur lyf who takes care of u nd ur feelings. Nd y u think dat u r alone? Y u think dat dere is no one to love u? we all r here for u. Misha, Girlfriend, Ruksana, Me. We all r here for u nd we all love u very much. I knw we cant take dat place in ur lyf which u have given to someone else but atleast he have some place nd u have to move on for us nd most importantly for urself. U deserve to be Happy Kiddo. Nd none of us can see u in dis condition nd trust me dere's lots of happiness stored for u in future. Just consider all dis as an another examination of ur lyf.

Antara: Hw many tymes Arman? Hw many tymes? I m tired of giving exams Arman. After Dad's death I was just giving exams only everyday.

Arman: den just give one more. U r not weak Kiddo. Not at all. Just see urself from my eyes. U r d girl who deserve all d happiness nd love of dis world. Just trust urself nd ur Fav. Babaji. nd never consider urself less den anyone else. u understand wat m saying?

She slowly smiled nd nodded in yes. Arman felt dat its d rite tym to tell her about his departure

Arman: Kiddo, cum wid me to US.

Antara: US?

Arman: yes Kiddo. I dnt want to tell u all dis nw but I had to tell u. I had to leave for US in next 3-4 days. Dad needs me over dere

Antara (frowned): its ok Arman. I understand.

Arman: y don't u also cum wid me. See u have to do ur internship from sumwhere den y don't u do it in my company.

Antara: but Arman...

Arman: nd dnt think dat m doing any kind of a Favour on u. I had seen ur capability nd knowledge through out dis Presentation nd datsy taken dis decision. Moreover u had better opportunities over dere. Nd Dad is also over dere nd I dnt think dat u'll get a better Mentor den him anywhere.

Antara: I completely Agree whatever u say Arman nd I trust u but I cant cum wid u. I cant leave Mom nd Misha over here. U know Misha. She's not Mature enough to take care of herself nd Mom nd I dnt want Mom to handle everything alone.

Arman: But Antara someday u have to leave dem

Antara: I knw Arman. But tab ki tab dekhi jayegi but rite nw I cant go wid u.

Arman: But Kiddo...

Antara: dnt worry Arman. I'll handle everything nw nd trust me I wont get weak nw not after wat u had said to me. Nw I'll forget everything nd starts a fresh chapter of my lyf.

Arman: R u sure?

Antara: Ya.

Arman: ok but still I would suggest dat consider about dis once.

Antara: Sure. Nw lets go back to home. Mom must be worried.

Arman: but u feeling ok na.

Antara: ya. Dnt worry

Arman: fine den. Lets go.

wow just love it that raghu is feeling jealous

Raghu was pacing restlessly in his Room. He dnt want to believe on any nonsense told by Machmach. He's not jealous of anyone. He knows himself Better den anyone else but Did He? He ran his Fingers thru his Hairs. He was really getting insane day by day. He himself nt sure about his feelings. His weird feelings. He looked at his cellphone which was lyieng at d floor near a cupboard broken into pieces. He picks it up nd joins it. He was about to move wen his eyes fell at d cupboard nd his heart urges him to open it nd he did nd in dat cupboard dere was Gifts given by Antara. He caresses his fingers on every gift. He picks up a Coffee Mug in which I LOVE YOU was embedded. He smiles after seeing it. It was her first ever gift to him. Den he picks up d Wrist watch. He remembers dat he had saw it once at d Mall nd decided dat he'll take it later. Antara has saw him by looking at watch nd den she buyed it nd gifted him at dere next date. She spends all her savings that she had to take a latest Model of Mobile phone on it but didn't regret it once. Like dis dere were 5-6 more gifts were over dere nd den his Eyes catches attention on d piece of paper. He instantly picks it up nd looks to it. Nd his heart felt heavy wen he saw wats written in d paper. It was a poem written by Antara for him nd she has given dis as a return Gift of her B'day. He started reading d poem nd unknowingly headed towards d Terrace while reading it.

He takes a deep breath after reading it. Dat was just not a poem. That was d feeling dat Antara had in her heart. He closed his eyes wen he remembers dat day. D day of her B'day. Dat was d first B'day of Antara after dey become a couple.

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

It was Antara's B'day nd d finals of d India-England Match too. Antara expected Raghu to b d first one to wish but he didn't call at nite as he was at friend's Party nd has came late infact dat day he stayed at Machmach's place. Antara has sent him numerous msgs. But he was too tired derefore didn't bother to check it nd he dozed off soon. In d morning he got up late nd after getting freshen up he straight away opens d TV nd started watching d match. His cell was at silent mode derefore he is not able to notice dat Antara is calling him. He nd Machmach was so engrossed in Match dat dey forgot dat dey have a world around dem until Machmach's cell phone rang. It was Raghu's Aajimaa who has called to enquire about Raghu. Dis is wen Raghu realizes dat his cell is at silent mode. He quickly picks up his cell nd saw numerous no. of missed calls nd msgs. Dere were 25 missed calls from Antara nd about 10-15 msgs of her. He started reading from d first one which she has sent at 12:15 of nite

"Where r u CHINTU? Y r u not taking my call"

He opens d other one

"I think u dnt remember wat is special today. Isn't it?

"its been 2 am nd m still waiting for ur call or even a msg but u didn't bother to do anyone of dese"

"I m supposed to sleep by now as m having my exam tomorrow but m still waiting for ur call. But I guess u r least bother"

Like dese there were 4-5 more msgs. Nd den at morning also dere r 5-6 msg along wid Gud morning msg.

"I really don't believe dis. u have forgotten today's day. I thought u would be d first one to wish. Anyways let it be"

Nd finally d last one which was 2 hrs before

"I m going inside d examination hall nd my cell would be switched off. I'll wait for u after d examination at my College garden. Hope tumhe tab tak yaad aa jaye dat wat is special today"

He rubbed his temple after reading d msgs but couldn't able to guess wat is special today besides her exam. He thinks hard but couldn't remember. He was thinking wen Machmach came to him.

Machmach: wats wrong dude? U look tensed

Raghu: ya. Actually I m trying to remember dat wat is special today about which Antara is talking. Its not our anniversary den wats it?

Machmach: Dnt tell me u forgot

Raghu: Wat?

Machmach: its her B'day stupid.

Raghu (surprised): WAT? Today is 11^th November oh shit! hw could I forgot today's day. Did u wished her?

Machmach: ya I wished her in d morning only. She was about to enter examination hall. Now I understand y her voice was so sad dat tym

Raghu: u IDIOT cant u tell me dis thing in d morning?

Machmach: arey I thought u would be the first one to wish her. Hw came I able to know dat u didn't even remember her B'day.

Raghu: anyways I don't have tym to argue wid u now. Just give me d keys of ur Bike m going to her college.

Machmach: But her exam was about to finish nw nd it'll take almost 45 mins to make u reach over dere. She wont be over dere by den

Raghu: No she'll wait for me datsy m taking ur Bike instead of my car to reach over dere soon.

Machmach: fine. here u Go (he said while throwing away d keys to him) nd dnt forget to take gift for her

Raghu: Ya I knw (he said while running off)

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

He has never ever runs d bike in d speed in which he was running nw. hw could he forgot her B'day? She has expected so much from him nd he failed. Wat she must be feeling rite nw? for one thing he was sure that she must be angry on him nd he deserves it. He stopped for once in d front of Archie's to take gift. He dnt have tym to select any gift derefore he picked up a card nd quickly paid for it not even bother to take d change nd again started driving. After 45 mins of driving he reached to her college. He parked his bike at corner nd quickly runs towards her college. He enquired watchman dat is dere anyone inside waiting nd he told dat a girl is waiting for someone. He dnt have to guess who was she. She would be none other den Antara. He quickly goes inside her college nd searched few rooms nd den looks at d Garden nd dere he saw her standing taking a rest of a tree. She was wearing a Red color Suit. His favorite color. He closes his eyes wen he saw her over dere waiting for him. He quickly speeds up his pace nd reach over dere. He tapped her shoulders nd she quickly looked behind to face him. Dere was drop of tears in her eyes which was not remain unnoticed by him. He hates himself to make her cry. He knows dat he's at fault. But he has to make up for it

Raghu: Hi!

Antara (slowly): Hi!

Raghu: hw was ur exam?

Antara: Gud.

Raghu: frm hw long u have been waiting for me here

Antara: 35 mins. Almost

He closes his eyes wen he imagined her waiting for him

Raghu: I M Sorry. M late. Sorry for making u wait

Antara: its ok. M use to of it

He knows dat she's angry. He always gets late nd she always complains him about it nd today again he gets late.

Raghu: HAPPY B'DAY.

Antara (saying sarcastically): U Remember dat today is my B'day?

Raghu: Antara pls. M sorry.

Antara: y u r saying Sorry Raghu. It was my mistake dat I had expected dat u would be d first one to wish me. But u didn't even bother to take my call den forget about wishing me.

Raghu: Antara pls. dnt say like dis. I m really very Sorry. Actually I was at friend's Party nd returned late nd my cell was at silent mode nd after dat I was too tired to check my cell nd in d morning...

Antara: dats wat m saying Raghu dat u had many other important tasks to finish. Friend's Party, India-England Match everything. Wishing me was not at all important

She said nd tears started flowing from her eyes. He cant stand dem, he really cant see her in tears. He quickly cupped her face nd wipes away her tears.

Raghu: Antara pls. m sorry. I knw m at fault but Pls dnt cry. I can't see u in tears. Never ever in my worst nightmare I can see u crying. It hurts Antara. It really hurts.

She removed his Hand nd looked into his Eyes

Antara: Raghu, u doesn't care for me nw, but u'll realize my importance once I would be no longer ur lyf. I...

Raghu (quickly puts finger on her lips): Sshhh! Dnt say like dis Antara. I'll never let u go away from my lyf. Never ever. U r going to stay in my lyf, now nd Forever.

He said nd quickly hugged her tight. Not even in her wildest dream he can think his lyf without her. She too melts nd hugs him back. After some tym they broke d hug nd Raghu gives her d Card he has brought for her

Raghu: Sorry! Jaldi me sirf yahi le paya.

Antara: Its ok

She looked at d Card nd smiled nd blushes too. Raghu couldn't understand y she was blushing. He looked at her in confused manner. She shows d card to him nd dis is wen he noticed dat in hurry he has taken a Relation Card nd it meant for Wife's B'day which husband use to give. He smiled inwardly for his blunder but he didn't make it obvious dat he has done it by mistake because she was happy nd dats all wat matters to him.

Raghu: So, I haven't done anything wrong. Some day u'll become my wife

Antara: So u r trying to Propose me for Marriage

Raghu: Well, can say dat

Antara: Wat if I refuse to ur Proposal

Raghu: Just try to Refuse. I bet u cant

Antara: itna bharosa hai khud pe

Raghu: khud pe nahi tum pe hai

She smiled at his statement

Raghu: nw where's my return Gift

Antara: Return Gift?

Raghu: ya. B'days pe dete hai na Return Gift. Dnt u knw?

Antara: I knw. Nd I knw about which return Gift u r talking But I had something else as ur Return Gift

Raghu: wats Dat?

Antara: wait

She said nd takes out sumthing from her Bag nd handed over to him. He notices dat it was a piece of paper. He quickly unfolds it nd dis is wen he saw dat it was a Poem written by her for him. He read nd feel each nd every word. He never knows dat Antara can express each word so Excellently. He looks at her who was looking at him nervously

Raghu: Antara, ye...

Antara: U like it?

Raghu: Like it? I loved it. U love me dis much Antara.

Antara: even more den dis. pls never ever leave me Raghu. I don't know wat I'll do

She said nd hugged him tight nd he too hugged back wid same passion

Raghu: I'll never leave u Antara. I Promise.

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

SCROLL DOWN

He opens his eyes only to find himself Alone. D piece of paper was still in his hand. He again looked at it nd started reading it.

Because you Love me...

I have found new joys in life,

That were before never mine.

Because you Love me...

I can dare to look into your eyes,

A sensational experience earlier never tried.

Because you Love me...

I Feel 'LOVE' a season that never change,

It comforted like sunshine after Rain.

Because you Love me...

I like to stare moon at night,

An Effort to have ur glimpse at dat Delight.

Because you Love me...

I loved to love you,

Truly my life begins nd ends with you!!!!!!

A drop of tear flows from his eyes wen he read it again. It felts like Antara is standing in front of him nd was saying all dis to him. He closed his eyes nd slowly whispers "Antara"

"Raghu" a voice came from Behind nd he opens his eyes in jerk nd looked back instantly. He saw Antara standing over dere smiling at him. She was in d Same white suit which she has wore at d tym of dere break up nd was looking just like an Angel like always. He looked at her in happiness. She came close to him nd looked straight into eyes

Raghu: Antara

Antara: u r thinking of me. Aren't u? u r missing me rite?

Raghu: Woh... I...

Antara: u were not missing me? (he looks at her blankly) Fine m going den

She said nd turned to leave wen he holds her wrist stopping her from going nd pulled her towards him.

Raghu: Pls Antara. Dnt go. Dnt go away from me.

Antara: so u admit dat u were missing me. U admit dat its difficult for u to stay away from me.

Raghu: yes, Antara yes. I admit. I admit dat I was missing u every moment. I miss ur Voice every second, I miss ur smile everyday. I miss u in my lyf.

He said nd cupped her face nd touched her forehead wid his.

Antara: To phir kyun jane diya mujhe? Y didn't u stopped me?

Raghu: I tried Antara. I tried but u haven't said anything nd walked away.

Antara: so wat had u expected Raghu. Hw can I stay over dere after listening dat u dnt love me? Hw can I claim my right on u wen I knw dat I dnt have left any

Raghu: Pls Antara. Pls Dnt say like dis. u have full right on me.

Antara: Kis Rishte se Raghu?

Raghu: Antara, we were friends before we came into relationship. Kya ye Kafi nahi hai tumhare liye to claim ur right on me. To stay in my lyf.

Antara: u really think Raghu dat dis thing was enough for me to stay in ur lyf? U really think dat we can be live as happy like we were before cuming into a relationship

He cant say anything nd looked at her

Antara (while walking other side): Raghu, wen two People in love break up den dey cant be friends as dey had hurted each other or one of dem has hurted d other one, Dey cant be Enemies also as once dey loved each other. D only thing dey can be... (she turned again to look at him) r d mostFAMILIAR STRANGERS. Just like us.

Raghu felt d pain in his heart, her words were piercing his heart. He quickly goes near her nd held her closer.

Raghu: No Antara, we r not strangers. Not even d Familiar ones. M sorry for hurting u Antara. But trust me I dnt want to hurt u. I myself dnt knw y I did dat? I thought dat d thing between us was not love but if it is dat den y I m missing u every second? Y I m getting restless day by day to just hear ur voice once? Y it ached me wen I saw pain in ur eyes? Y I felt jealous wen I saw u wid some other guy? I dnt know wats happening to me Antara? I really dnt knw

Antara: u knw Raghu. Infact only u knw but u dnt want to accept it. U r again letting ur mind rule on u. U remember wat I use to say to u whenever u r unable to find answers to ur questions.

He closes his eyes nd remembers

"Wenever u r not able to find ur answers just close ur eyes nd forget about everything nd just look into ur heart. U'll get all ur answers. Dnt let ur mind rule at u dat tym"

He opens his eyes nd looks at her

Antara: u remember?

He nodded in yes

Antara: did u tried it dis tym?

He nodded in no

Antara: den try. U'll get all ur answers

She said nd closes his eyes wid her hands. nd places his one hand on his heart. He closes nd forgets about all his surroundings, forgets that he had ever broke up wid Antara. He saw himself walking alone in a deserted road. There was lots of light around him but yet he feel that he's in walking in Darkness. Just den he felt a hand holding his hand. He turned to look at it nd saw a girl holding her hand.

"I'll never let u feel Alone in ur lyf. I'll shower my Love on u even if u dnt give me a drop of ur Love but I'll not stop loving u. my presence will always be around u no matter if I was not wid u"

Dis is wat she said to him nd d moment she said dis to him he felt Complete. He felt dat he was not alone. He felt dat all d darkness of his lyf has gone. Nd dis is wen he saw her face. It was d most beautiful face he has ever seen. It was none other den Antara. His Antara. His lyf. He quickly hugged her never letting her to go away from him

He opens his eyes nd saw dat he was still at d terrace. He looked around himself nd saw no one present over dere. His eyes searched for Antara but she was not dere. He pushes his hair back wid his fingers

So it means he was imagining her. She was not here. He thought. But y he felt dat it was not his Illusion. May be because dis tym he has listened only to his heart nd not let his mind overcome him. dat was not Antara to whom he was talking, it was his own heart. All dis thing were running in his mind nd Antara's word were echoing in his ears

"Raghu, I dnt have courage left to Love again, to trust sumone again. No doubt I trust u but I still cant prepare myself to luv u."

"Thanx for Telling all dis atleast nw none of us in d misunderstanding that the thing between is Love"

"Raghu, Gift dis to the Girl wid whom u Truly fell in Love, not to every girl u met nd get attracted den later realize dat it was not love"

"Good Bye Raghu! Take care always"

"U said u don't want to see me in tears, so does that mean u had closed ur eyes wen I was crying!!!!!!!!!"

"I Trust u Raghu nd I knw u wont do anything wrong"

"I had already Trusted a stranger once nd later on has paid a lot for dis trust nd nw I dnt want to trust any1, specially a stranger so dnt call me again."

"I didn't told dem about whatever happened between us"

"Because I cant see any1 questioning u."

"M doing all dis because once... once u were my friend nd for u d thing between us may be not love but for me it was love nd I cant see anyone pointing fingers on u."

"Pehle jaisa ab kuch bhi nahi raha Raghu. Na tum aur na hi main. Pyaar to humare beech kabhi tha hi nahi, ek Dosti ka Rishta tha that too died few days back."

"Its ok Raghu. M used to of being alone nd going alone too. I dnt want u to bother for a stranger."

"Yes u r rite we r not strangers. We r Known strangers"

"pls never ever leave me Raghu. I don't know wat I'll do"

"Raghu, wen two People in love break up den dey cant be friends as dey had hurted each other or one of dem has hurted d other one, Dey cant be Enemies also as once dey loved each other. D only thing dey can be'.r d mostFAMILIAR STRANGERS. Just like us."

"I'll never let u feel Alone in ur lyf. I'll shower my Love on u even if u dnt give me a drop of ur Love but I'll not stop loving u. my presence will always be around u no matter if I was not wid u"

He had all d flashes of Antara nd his in front of his eyes. Her smile, her eyes, her face, dere cute fights, their Hug, their Love moments everything. Nd den d last thing dat echoes in his mind made him shiver

"Raghu, u doesn't care for me nw, but u'll realize my importance once I would be no longer in ur lyf!!!!!!"

Raghu (to himself): No Antara, u r not going anywhere. U'll be in my lyf Antara. I cant lose u. I don't want to lose u because... because I LOVE YOU. Yes Antara, I LOVE YOU ND ONLY YOU. Ya I knw I got distracted for sumtym nd I hurted u becoz of dat nd I hate myself for dat but nw I knw dat I LOVE YOU. I was always in love wid u. right from d first day I saw u. nw I wont let u go. Never ever Antara. Nw I knw y I was restless without u, y it ached my heart wen I saw pain in ur eyes, y I felt bad wen I saw u wid dat guy, y I was starving for ur voice, ur smile, ur one look, y I cant stay away from u. Because I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU ANTARA.

He said nd smiles as d realization dawn on him. He was so stupid to think till nw dat dere was no love between dem but d truth is dat dere is always Love between dem only he gets distracted for sumtym. But nw he wont get distracted. He will go to her ask her forgiveness will go to any extent to get her love, her trust Back in his lyf.
