Antara deliberately sat with her back towards raghu and quickly occupied herself with the hustle and bustle of the passing city roads. Raghu consciously drove slower to ensure the journey would take that much longer. He kept glancing at her trying to say something but she wasn't making it any easier for him with her back turned. All of a sudden raghu pulled up into a side road. antara turned and started to look around 'where are we? Why have you stopped' she said in a slight panicked voice. 'antara ..I ...I need to talk to you, there are things that I need to say' antara didn't let him finish she raised her hand to stop him 'there is nothing to talk about and there is nothing you can say that is worth me listening to, now if you don't mind I would like to go home' raghu was left a little stunned, he had never seen this side of antara. Antara looked straight ahead but she could feel raghu becoming irate 'antara you are not going anywhere until I have said what I need to say' he said although his voice was steady you could tell that it had started to shake. Antara turned her whole body to face him 'Why, Why Mr Raghunath Naik , what more could you possibly say that I would want to listen to? Did you not satisfy your cold demonic heart the last time you spoke to me or was drawing the line at immoral middle class girl too short for you' antara was burning red with anger she was trying not to let the tears that stung her eyes escape and was trying even harder not to falter under this false pretence. Antara was not an angry person or someone who expressed anger especially not in this way. Every word antara spoke felt like daggers puncturing his heart his stomach felt like it was summersaulting he didn't know what to say to her he kept his eyed locked with hers, they sat there without moving without talking and almost like they had stopped breathing.
Their moment was abruptly broken by the ring of antara's phone, antara cleared her throat before she answered it 'Hi Sara, yes I'm fine...um tonight? It should be ok what time will you come? Ok I will ask Sahil to pick me up at eight. Ok take care bye' antara put her phone away brushing her hair back with her fingers she took in a deep sigh. 'I need to get home, so please if you can drop me off, and if not then I can go from here' not waiting for his response antara moved and was about to open the door when she felt his hand on her shoulder she quickly shot a look back at him making him retract his hand immediately 'it's not an easy walk from here and you might not be able to get a taxi back, stay I'll drop you' raghu started the car and pulled back out on to the main road, his face was expressionless but only he knew of the whirlpool that was forming within him. The rest of the journey was filled with silence raghu pulled up outside her apartment, antara got out the car and left without saying anything she didn't even glance back. Raghu felt defeated he was hurt and upset, emotions he had not experienced before well not since his parents passed away. He remembered that antara was going out with her friends and that Sahil guy was coming to pick her up his hands automatically started to tighten around the steering wheel, the thought of antara with someone else was not something he was comfortable with.
'mummy, rukku just texted she said she is going back home with machmach and he will drop her off after dinner' antara shouted to her mum as she was getting ready to go out. After today's events antara was glad that her little gang had planned a night out she welcomed the distraction.
Machmach and rukku had reached home and were excitedly showing of their shopping. Raghu came down from his room 'raghu, thank you for today' rukku said 'No worries, sorry I had to send the driver to pick you up, something came up last minute' 'No problem, hope antara is ok, she didn't look too well' rukku said as she started to fold the lose items of clothing.' I am sure she is fine, she is going out with her friends this evening' 'Oh yes, antara messaged me saying she was going out to Pasta Italiano - I tell you antara and her food' rukku said laughing at the thought of her sisters obsession with food especially pizza.
Raghu's face lit up 'Pasta Italiano...you can run but you can't hide Miss kaul ... You will listen to what I have to say' he thought to himself and with that he picked up his jacket and keys and left before anyone noticed.
Raghu sat in the corner of the restaurant making sure he was not in clear view. He had been waiting for around fifteen minutes, for someone who had zero patience and didn't like to wait he was surprisingly quite calm. As he waited he looked through the number of messages he had composed but could never bring himself to sending them. His quiet moment was interrupted by the sounds of laughter he looked up and saw antara and her friends come in, luckily they were seated towards the front of the restaurant. Like always antara took his breath away she wore a plain royal blue dress which came off her shoulders adorned by a silver belt that hugged her tiny waist and plain silver drop earrings. She was always dressed simply, modestly but never failed to look like a million dollars.
It wasn't long before raghu noticed Sahil he had managed to seat himself next to her and left no opportunity to casually touch her and in one instance hug her from the side. Raghu felt like his eyes were going to explode he hated this guy; he hated how close he was to antara. Raghu patiently observed antara with her friends, she was so happy, having so much fun he could already see her glowing as she always did. He sat back and admired the way she ate and drank, something he had never really seen her do, when she laughed her nose scrunched up she looked so cute, innocent like a child.
After a few moments he saw Sahil lean in to antara to whisper something in her ear all of a sudden antara's body stiffened her expressions fell it looked like she had almost stopped breathing. antara slowly turned her head around and saw him. Their eyes locked, she was in utter shock she couldn't believe he was here. Now that she had seen him raghu got up from his seat and started to walk towards her she could feel herself hyperventilate she held on to the edge of the table trying to find some kind of support. She never let go of his gaze until he came and stood right next to her.
'Hi, um is it ok if I have a quick word with you that is if your friends don't mind' raghu said giving everyone a quick glance. To say that antara was a little dumbfounded would have been an understatement 'why is it that everywhere I go he is there, I can't get away from him, and what the hell is he doing here anyway?' she thought to herself 'antara I won't take long' raghu said breaking her chain of thought 'antara go, its ok we will wait for you' Sara said smiling at the handsome man that stood between her and antara. Antara got up still holding the side of the table for support she could feel her legs give way as she took the first step she stumbled only to be caught by raghu, she could have died of embarrassment she quickly pulled herself off of his arm and started to fidget with her fingers waiting for him to lead the way.
Raghu pulled out the chair for her and she sat down unwillingly this is the last place she wanted to be. raghu sat down opposite her and cleared his throat 'can I get you a drink?' he casually asked her antara looked at him totally lost 'no thank you I have one waiting for me with my friends...raghu why are you here? What is it you want from me?' raghu hadn't really prepared himself for the direct questioning. He took a sip of his water and inhaled a deep breath 'I wanted to talk to you antara' antara was about to say something to challenge him most probably but he stopped her 'Please let me finish what I have to say' 'fine' she said folding her arms 'I'm listening'.
It was now or never raghu had never really had to have a conversation like this he wasn't someone who engaged in long discussions unless it was a business meeting. This wasn't easy for him it was far from it this involved him being real being truthful about what he was feeling, even though he wasn't totally sure what the feelings were he needed to make sure that what he was about to say was perfect.
'antara I'm s...I'm sorry I really and truly am sorry' antara gave him an expressionless glare 'did he just say sorry, great he is sorry, and what it is going to make everything go away...why are you sorry...I really couldn't care less' antara started to ramble on not realising that raghu could actually hear her. Raghu noticed her eyes wondering around 'antara please you are not making this easy for me, can you...just look at me there are things I need to say and I need you to listen to' antara's eyes widened a little the expressionless face she carried relaxed and became softer, she couldn't help it he sounded so sincere so humble in his request. Antara nodded allowing him to continue and this time she sat up and looked straight at him.
'antara...I ...I don't understand what is going on, I mean going on in my head. I know I have treated you unfairly...ok not only unfairly...In plain words damn right out of order. When I heard you were leaving to go to Shimla I felt like I was losing a part of me and for some strange reason I wanted to stop you, I knew I couldn't so came to see you. I didn't get you're note antara, when I came to meet you I waited for so long giving myself every excuse and reason to wait that much longer. And when I realized you were not going to come I totally lost it. I thought you did it deliberately to get back at me for the way I had treated you. When I saw you the next day I couldn't control myself and I lashed out. It was only when I got back to the hotel that I received your note. I can't tell you antara how bad I felt how I kicked myself for saying what I did...I...didn't mean it. Since I got back I typed a hundred text messages to send you but never could find myself strong enough...antara...' raghu stopped antara's eyes were red she was crying nonstop the tears just kept flowing raghu's heart sank he quickly reached out across the table to hold her hand antara please don't cry I didn't meant to hurt you, I didn't mean to upset you, I am so sorry...please antara'
Raghu lowered his gaze he felt defeated once again. Antara was crying but it wasn't all because she had been so hurt but because she couldn't believe what he was saying, every word seemed to give her a sense of relief, she believed every word that he spoke and every emotion that came with them. Antara drew back her hand and wiped her tears. She didn't know what to say she slowly stood up as raghu realised he quickly got up and stood in front of her. 'antara please don't leave, at least say something...anything' antara looked up to meet his gaze she could see the pain and regret he held, she could see the pleas 'raghu, I can't do this...not now I have come with my friends they are waiting for me, I need to go' as she was about to walk off raghu grabbed her arm 'if not now then when antara, I just need to know that you are ok, that we are ok' antara looked up him 'what does he mean we...there is no we' she thought. She didn't know what to say to him her mind was boggling 'you have my number, call me' and with that she walked past him to go back towards her friends.
'Hey you ok, you look like you have been crying...what happened antara...what did that guy do? Sahil's questions were never ending all her friends took it in turns to ask her what was wrong. Just then Sahil got up 'this friend of yours has some explaining to do' antara quickly grabbed his arm the last thing she wanted was for Sahil to approach or confront raghu. 'I am fine Sahil, chill its nothing serious just having spoken to him bought back a few memories' she tried to convince him. 'He is the same guy who came to Shimla isn't he? Who is he antara how do you know him?' Sara asked, antara smiled as convincingly as she could 'Oh he is rukku's brother in law to be and I worked with him for a short while...it's a long story come let's go' with that everyone started to collect their belongings and walked out. Antara turned one last time to see raghu had not moved from his position, he was still looking at her with such intensity, she almost felt bad for not being able to talk to him.
It was 11.30, antara was lying in bed going over what had happened, she still found it hard to believe that raghu had let down his guard so much that he was able to talk to her tell her he was so sorry and how he felt, this was not the Raghunath Naik she knew - was that really him? Sleep was not coming easy antara kept tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable position and as soon as she did the vibration from her phone startled her. She picked up her phone to see she had received a message 'Sahil and his stupid jokes' she said to herself as she opened the message. Antara's heart skipped a beat it wasn't Sahil it was raghu.
Hi, I know I should not have barged in on your evening out but there was no other way of getting to talk to you or for you to listen to me. I am sorry if I ruined your evening. You said it was ok for me to call I wanted to but wasn't sure if you would be awake or not. I hope I can get to speak to you soon. Raghu
It was official Raghunath Naik was Schizophrenic. There was no other way of explain his behavior. This man only knows power, money and arrogance where did this human side descend from if anything it didn't suit him. Antara wanted to reply but what would she say, she really didn't want to speak to him definitely not tonight.
Hi, its ok no need to apologise. I am really tired have an early start in morning so maybe we can talk tomorrow. Antara
Raghu smiled at the message he had just received. 'Tomorrow it is'.
