As the weeks passed by Antara was becoming home sick, she spoke to everyone almost every day whether it be Sara, Sahil, Rukku or her parents. She hated coming home to emptiness Antara wasn't much of a party goer but had accepted the invitation as everyone was going from her class she was willing to accept anything that would prolong her going home.
Saturday night everyone had gathered outside the halls of residence better known as Quaker House. Antara wore a simple black dress that went to her knees a long beaded necklace and high heels boots, she had her hair open, in all her simplicity she looked amazing she had certainly caught the attention of her fellow male colleagues.
'Everyone ready' Michael looked to see if everyone was here 'Good let's go' the venue was not far from Quaker House it was a fifteen minutes' walk to the town centre. Antara enjoyed being with the group she mingled with everyone talking about everything and anything.
Antara entered the club the loud music pierced her ears; she had never been in such an environment she held on to Soniyah's arm who laughed to see her friend so nervous. Antara was slightly embarrassed she let go and composed herself 'its ok Antara...just relax' Soniyah said linking her arm back with hers. Feroze and Michael had booked a table as everyone took their seats Romeo another student along with Michael started to take drink order, when it came to Antara she shouted out OJ, Romeo looked at her as to say come on OJ, Antara looked straight back at him 'what...I don't drink...only softies for me please' Romeo rolled his eyes and then nodded with a smile.
The evening had turned into night and the night into dawn. The group half of which were just about to walk made their way back to Quaker House. On route Antara had called David to come and pick her up, she felt really bad calling him out at this time but she needed to get home and didn't have the energy to walk anymore. Soniyah who was slightly more sober compared to the rest insisted that Antara stayed with them as Antara was about to answer she saw Ayla run forward and vomited all over the floor 'ugggh gross'. Antara didn't know what to do she looked at Soniyah who was pointing behind her 'what' Antara said 'you go I'll sort her out your little man is here' Antara thought what little man she turned around to see David standing outside the car. Antara turned to her friends 'ok guys I'm off I'll see you on Monday'
Antara opened the door a flipped off her shoes before she went to have a hot shower and change, as she walked towards her room she sensed a presence she quickly turned around only to be met with darkness 'stop it Antara...he isn't here' she said to herself only to receive a response 'I am here' her eyes widened she quickly turned around again almost losing her balance 'Raghu' she whispered, Raghu switched on the lamp there he was standing by the window, it was really him Antara ran to him crushing him in a hug with such force that they nearly fell back. She pulled back and held his face 'Omg it really is you' she kissed his face all over she was finding it hard to calm herself down she was so happy.
Once she had finished her onslaught of kisses she pulled at his arm for him to come and sit down only to be pulled back. She looked up into his eyes and instantly knew there was something wrong 'Raghu...what's wrong? Are you ok?' 'Where have you been Antara' Antara looked at him, his jaw started to clench and his eyes blackened, she hadn't seen him like this for a very long time 'I ...I went out with my friends, we...I mean I was invited to a party'. Raghu moved forward he took Antara by the top of her arms do you have any idea what the hell I have been going through' Antara looked at him not understanding she lowered her gaze to his hands that were causing her pain 'look at me when I am talking to you dammit' Antara jolted her head back up 'Raghu' she managed to stammer 'do you know what time it is Antara? Its five in the morning I have been here since eight last night calling you, texting you, I have been going crazy thinking of where to go where to find you. I was about to call the police when David called me to say he had heard from you...were you so caught up with your party that you couldn't answer your phone. Here I was thinking the worst and here you are leisurely strolling back stinking of alcohol'.
Antara's eyes widened with shock the tears that were stinging her eyes ran down her face she looked at him his anger and frustration was something she had not seen not to this extent she slowly saw the monster that she once knew emerging 'Raghu...please let go of me you are hurting me' Raghu let go of her and turned around Antara was too shaken up to answer him back she walked to her room picked up her clothes and locked herself in the bathroom as she turned the shower on she fell to the ground clutching at her arms where he had left his mark. Antara cried and cried she couldn't hold herself up her legs wouldn't support her how could he treat her in such a way? Antara finally managed to get up and shower ,she reluctantly came out of her room she didn't want to have to face him but knew it was inevitable as she came out her eyes scanned the flat there was no sign of him she walked further in and peeped towards the kitchen he was nowhere to be seen. 'Raghu' she called out she walked around and then ran downstairs but he wasn't there. He had gone was he so angry that he had just got up and left without saying anything without letting her know.
Antara sat on the sofa she drew her knees in and rested her head on them, before she knew she had fallen asleep. Raghu had to clear his head he kicked himself for the way he had reacted the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. He wanted to surprise her with his visit he had been missing her so much that he couldn't stay away any longer. But when she wasn't home and failed to answer his calls and messages he started to panic thinking the worst and when he saw Antara come in to the flat he couldn't control himself and lashed out hurting her in the process.
Raghu turned the key unlocking the door he opened the door slowly and saw her on the sofa. As he walked up to her he saw the bruises on her arms he clenched his fists and closed his eyes how could he have lost control so much that he resorted to having done this to her. He called out to her and realised she was sleeping, he gently took her in his arms as her face fell back he saw her tear stained face causing him more anguish and pain. Raghu lay Antara on the bed and before leaving her to sleep he leaned to kiss her forehead I am so sorry Antara...I'm so sorry'.
By the time Antara woke up it was nearly one O'clock in the afternoon she looked around her not remembering coming to her room 'Raghu' she whispered to herself she got up and changed making sure that her bruises were covered, as she came out she saw Raghu sitting on the dining table typing away on his laptop and talking to Aman at the same time No Aman, I need it done by the end of the day, there is no room for negotiation on this I need to finalise everything before I go to New York...I am here for another day or two I will let you know as soon as I do' Raghu disconnected the phone and looked up to see her tiny frame standing in the door.
He looked at her remorsefully he wanted to go up to her and hold her making everything alright 'hi' Antara looked at him, unable to speak she gave him a faint smile 'um...I made some coffee would you like some' as words continued to fail her she nodded and walked up to the table sitting on the opposite side as she sat she lowered her head not being able to look at him. Raghu's stomach turned he felt awful what was he going to say to her how was he going to make this right? Raghu poured coffee into her cup and then sat next to her he picked up her hand and held it in his when she didn't respond he lifted her head up and made her face him Antara...I'm...' he couldn't finish what he had started, Antara broke out in tears she got up and started to run towards her room only to be caught and pulled back into his arms, she cried out loud as he hugged her every tear every cry was piercing his heart he couldn't stand it anymore. 'Please Antara...please forgive me I don't know what came over me I didn't meant to hurt you please don't cry...Antara please I am so sorry' Antara didn't reply she continued to hide her face on his chest 'Antara' he pulled her face back and held it in his hands Antara please look at me, I am so sorry. It's just that...".' Antara slowly raised her gaze to meet his he had tears running down his face she had seen him tearful before but never had she seen him cry like this. As much as she was upset with him it hurt her to see him like this she lifted her hand and wiped away his tears I'm starving' she said making him laugh Raghu hugged her again and stroked the back of her head me too'.
Lunch was a quite affair Raghu did most of the talking filling her in on everyone back home Antara did her best to respond to him occasionally smiling but mostly she looked at him blankly in all honesty she was still shaken up from last night and every time she tried to forget the stinging from her arms came as a reminder. 'Antara, I thought you were hungry, you have hardly touched anything' Antara looked up at him 'I guess I am not as hungry as I thought' Raghu reached for her hand and pulled her up making her slide into his lap Antara put her arms around his neck and allowed him to snuggle into the hers. Raghu gently kissed her below her ear 'I know I was wrong Antara, won't you forgive me?' he whispered into her ear. Antara becoming aware of their surrounding and people passing by pulled back 'do you want to go for a walk, the park opposite the apartment is really nice' she said purposefully ignoring what he had just said.
After a long ten minutes of walking in silence Raghu began to become agitated he pulled Antara back to stop her as she turned to face him he started to speak 'Antara, can you at least talk to me...if not talk then shout at me scream do anything but don't ignore me I can't take your silence any longer' Antara's eyes started to moisten 'what do you want me to say Raghu? That you scared the hell out of me, that you were totally unreasonable, irrational and hurt me or that you forgot who I am what I am and assumed the worst of me? So tell me Raghu what is it that you want me to say to you?' Raghu had never heard Antara speak in the tone that she just did, he didn't know how to respond as she walked of wiping her tears Raghu stood still unable to move his feet to follow her or stop her.
It was coming up to eight in the evening Raghu had still not returned, Antara had started to worry she had called him several times only to reach his voice mail 'maybe I went too far...I shouldn't have spoken to him like that' she thought to herself and at the same time another voice said 'no he was the one that went too far stop feeling like the baddie' Antara in her turmoil dialled his number again as it rang she heard him enter she could see the regret the pain in his eyes, how he stood there dejectedly not being able to control herself she ran to him enveloping him in her arms 'can we not fight anymore, its tearing me apart' Raghu hugged her back 'I love you so much Antara...I am so sorry' Antara looked up at him and without further delay she kissed him with an urgency she had never felt before.
Raghu woke up to find her side of the bed empty he walked outside to see her working on the laptop 'hey, what are you doing up so late?' 'I couldn't sleep so thought I would do some more research' Raghu pulled her off her seat and led her to the sofa where they sat cuddled up together 'Raghu you were talking to Aman earlier about going to New York' 'hmm we have fashion week coming up and we are designing one of our biggest collections so I need to make sure that everything is in place, I have a number of high profile meetings to attend'. Antara sat up straight her eyes were wide open and full of excitement 'wow fashion week in New York...when are you going, when is it, which is going with ...I mean...' Raghu started to laugh at her million questions 'you want to come' Antara nearly screamed, the thought of going to New York she couldn't even imagine 'are you serious...Raghu I would love to come' Raghu put his arm around her held her back in his warm embrace, they sat there comfortably talking themselves to sleep.
Antara couldn't wait for her day to be over she knew it was Raghu's last night with her as she finalised details of her field trip she handed in her papers to Mr Paulo and rushed out at the gate she saw Feroze, Romeo and Ayla 'hey guys' she said looking past them to see if David had come 'Antara you want to come out tonight we are going to get a pizza' Ayla asked as Antara was about to answer she saw the car pull up and Raghu come out the car, smiling from ear to ear she quickly answered no and ran towards the car 'what's with her' Ayla asked in amusement Feroze looked back 'looks like she got herself a new chauffeur' what they witnessed next left them totally gob smacked and totally lost for words, if Feroze opened his mouth any further his jaw was sure to drop to the ground. Antara was so happy to see Raghu she ran into his open arms he swung her around and as he put her down she reached up and kissed him and refused to back away, if oxygen wasn't a necessity Antara would have stayed in that position forever. 'Wow...I wasn't expecting that' Raghu said he was completely taken by surprise Antara started to laugh. Her three friends who still looked on in shock 'that is no way her new chauffeur...and if he is...man I want his job' Romeo said enviously.
