Part 22:
Driver drops Antara at the Venue. Antara was really very happy that Finally she nd Raghu both were going to tell each other about their feelings. Though they both already know about it as their eyes has already confessed to each other but today they both themselves going to confess each other. This feeling is bringing tickling to her senses. She's smiling unknowingly.
Lost in her thoughts she didn't realized wen did she entered inside. As she entered inside she looked at d dcor. She smiled because she knows who had done all dis. Only Raghu knows what she likes nd everything has been done according to dat also. Her eyes were searching only Raghu.
Antara (To herself): where r u Raghu? Nw dnt make me wait so much. Pls Come soon.
As she thought dis she felt someone coming coming from her right side. She smiled nd turned to look at her love. Initially she couldn't able to see his face due to darkness but as he comes near d light antara can easily see his face nd she was stunned to see what she is seeing in front of her eyes. it was not Raghu, it was Vridant.
Antara: Wat d hell r u doing over here?
Vridant: Antara, wat kind of question is dis? U have came here to meet me only?
Antara: Dnt try to act smart Vridant. I have came here to meet Raghu.
Vridant: But Antara Raghu..
Antara(restless): Where is Raghu? Tell me damn it what u have done wid him? (she says while clutching his collar) Tell me where is he?
Vridant: Antara relax! Raghu is all right. I haven't done anything wid him. Only dis much u know me?
Antara: Who knows u better then me Vridant. Before dis also u tried to ruin my life but dis tym I wont give u a single chance.
Vridant: Antara trust me I had not came back to ruin ur life. I have came back to apologize u.
Antara: Apologize me?
Vridant: Yes Antara. I knw I have done wrong wid u? but at that tym I couldn't understand anything. Ria has threatened me to kill herself if I wouldn't support her. I was not knowing that she's doing all dis so that u can never prove urself innocent. She told me that she wants to teach u lesson nd.
Antara: nd u agreed to it. Hw could u Vridant? I know u love Ria but u were my Best Friend for god Sake hw can u let this happen. Nd nw u r asking for forgiveness. Do u have any idea that hw From hw much worst did I had gone through. Hw much humilations, hw much blames did I faced. I got the punishment of dat sin which I had not even committed. Anyways I dnt care for it nw because i had completely forgotten those tym which I spend with u.
Vridant: No Antara. U cant do this to me (he said while holding her hand)
Antara: Dnt u dare to touch me. U have no right to touch me.
Vridant was taken a back at antara's behaviour
Antara: Wat do u think. M I a world's biggest Fool or some kind of a god that u'll do mistakes nd I'll forgive u. No, I m a normal human being for god sake
Vridant: I knw Antara nd dis quality of urs has forced me to fall in love wid u.
Antara's eyes were open wide wen she listens dat
Vridant: Yes Antara, I love u. after u left me den I understand the Difference between u nd Ria. Ria only thinks about herself but u, u think about others nd dis quality of urs has made me fall in love wid u. nd I know that u also love me as..
He couldn't able to complete his sentence wen Antara slapped him tight on his cheeks. She has never thought that she'll slap someone after Ria but today she cant help it.
Antara: Ek thappad kafi tha sapne se jagane ke liye ya ek aur Doon.
Vridant (hurted): Antara
Antara: Hw dare u to say that I love u. For god sake I m engaged. I m engaged to Raghu.
Vridant: Which engagement Antara? Which is fake to both of u?
Antara: wat do u mean?
Vridant: I know Antara, that dis Engagement is fake to both of u. u both have done dis for ur families. U don't love each other because u love me thatsy u dnt want to get married to anyone because u still love me. Hai na Antara? U still love me na? tell me Antara
As soon as he finished his sentence Antara Slapped him once again dis tym even more hard
Antara: This is ur answer. Nd hw can u say that we both don't love each other. Who d hell r u to decide dis what I nd Raghu feels for each other
Vridant: But Antara, I m telling u d same wat Raghu has told me.
Antara(amuzed): Raghu has told u?
Vridant: Yes Antara, yesterday raghu has called me, he came to know everything about us nd he said that he'll help me in meeting u so that I can apologise to u nd propose to u. den only he told me that dis Engagement is fake nd u both dnt love each other also
Antara could believe on her ears. She didn't concentrate on any words wat he says.
Antara: Raghu has said all dis (Dis is all she could say)
Vridant: Yes Antara. Antara, I know I have done wrong wid u. but pls give me one chance. I promise this tym u'll not regret. Antara, I love u. Antara tum sun rahi ho na. Antara
But antara is not in her senses. She was badly hurted to know dis that Raghu has said all dis.
Antara: Raghu has said dis.
She slowly turned nd started moving outside. Her whole world has started to shattered. Seems like no one is there around her nd she's lonely in this whole world. Vridant noticed d pain in her Voice nd Eyes. he has never thought that Antara can love someone else to this extent. He knows that Antara hates him but still she had some Feelings left for him but today wat he saw in her eyes was enough for him to show the reality.
Vridant (to himself): u was wrong Vridant. Antara doesn't loves u infact she didn't even hates u. u had no place left in her heart anymore. Nw there's only Raghu who is there in her heart.
Antara reaches towards car nd asked d Driver to drive towards home. Ahe quietly sat inside d car nd driver started driving. She was unaware from d whole world. Tears were flowing continuously from her eyes. The words of Vridant were echoing in her ears. She closes her eyes nd all she could think of is Raghu nd d moments she has spend with him.
Antara (to herself): Raghu says dat we dnt love each other. How could u say dat Raghu? So does it means, the care, the Love, the concern that I saw in ur eyes was my mistake? I misread ur emotions nd eyes? No Raghu, I was not wrong. U love me. Den y u did dis to me? U have to answer me Raghu, u have to.
****************************************************
Raghu was at Basketball Court. He was trying his best to get his mind away from Antara. But couldn't able to succeed
Raghu(to himself): Wats Wrong wid u Raghu? Forget about antara. Just forget her. She's not urs. She loves Vridant nd u only promised that u'll give her all happiness of dis world nd she deserves to be with the one whom she loves.
The Trail of his thoughts were broken wen he heard a clap sound behind him. He turned to look nd saw Antara standing behind him. Her eyes were fuming in both anger nd pain. She has started moving towards him.
Antara: I was not knowing that Besides playing Basket ball Raghu Naik can play with someone's emotions also
Raghu: Wat r u talking about Antara?
Antara: Y? u dnt know about wat I m talking?
Raghu says nothing
Antara: Will u tell me who has given u right to take d decisions of my life nd wat d hell do u think I m? A kind of a Doll or puppet that u'll make me move according to u. wat both of u think of me? Wenever u both want u can come to my life nd wenever u want u both can walk out
Raghu: Antara listen
Antara: Wat will u say Raghu that u have done this for my happiness. U think I'll be happy wid Vridant. hw can u say that I'll be happy wid him. Can u give me the guarantee that he'll not break my trust again? Tell me
Raghu turned around avoiding to give the answer of her question. Antara goes to him nd turned him towards herself.
Antara: dnt try to avoid my Questions Raghu. Hw could u think that I'll be happy wid Vridant. Raghu Vridant was not there to take me to the Indian Restaurant wen I was missing mom, he was not there to take care for me wen I was suffering from infection. It was not him who has came running wen my Laptop was out of order, it was not him who has ease my pain wen I m feeling Low on Dad's death anniversary. It was not him who knows every small nd big things about me. It was u Damn it! It was u. cant u understand dis simple thing (she says while clutching his collar)
Raghu: but u dnt love me Antara nd moreover our engagement is fake nd one day everyone will come to know the truth. Den y we both live such kind of a relation which is not true.
Raghu tries his best to brought enough coldness in his voice but only he knows hw much it ached to his heart wen he says all dis. He looked at Antara who was standing stunned over dere. She slowly leaves his collar.
Antara(hurted): Wat did u said? Our engagement is fake? Ok I agree so does it mean everything is fake between us rite? Our Friendship, our care for each other, our emotions for each other, our trust on each other, our Lo..(she was about to say love but stops) According to u everything is false.
Raghu noticed d tears in her eyes. he saw that her voice is shaking in pain.
Raghu: Antara.
Antara: U r rite Raghu. It was me who was wrong. I was so stupid na that I was thinking that this engagement may be fake but the relationship that has been developed between us in these 6 months was true, Our Emotions that we have seen in each others eyes was true. But thanx for reminding me about dis. Nw I'll not do any mistake.
Raghu: Antara its not like dat.
Antara: No, Raghu u r rite. Nd if this engagement is fake nd it doesn't mean to any of us den y, y am I wearing d Symbol of dis False relationship? (she said while showing her ring to him) I should have not wear dis na (she removes her Ring nd hand it over to Raghu) Its over Raghu nw u dnt have to carry dis false relationship. I'll tell everything to Mom. I'll tell her that I was not able to co-ordinate wid u, though u have tried ur best den also. Kya Karoon, I cant see anyone pointing fingers towards u. But I Don't have courage to tell dis to Aaji, so u tell this to her that Antara cant marry Raghu because she has many other dreams to fulfill.
Raghu stood there numb. Antara looked around her.
Antara: U remember Raghu, dis is d same place where we have started our journey of new relationship, our friendship nd here only I m ending every relationship because I dnt want u to carry any false relationship.
By saying dis she turned to leave. Raghu tried to stop her but she stopped him by showing her hand nd ran away from there as fast as she can hiding her tears in her eyes. Raghu sits over dere on his Knees, closes his eyes in pain nd put both of his hand on his head. Drop of tears have fallen from his eyes.
***************************************************
Antara came to outhouse running. Shilpa was in Living Room she got worried by seeing Antara in dat Condition because she has left from dere she was extremely happy nd wen she returned she was crying. She didn't understand wat happened all of a sudden. She tried to ask her but Antara ran away straight away to her Room. Shilpa follows her.
As soon as Antara reached to her Room, She opened her cupboard nd took out the Saree that raghu has given, she throws it away nd started throwing everything which was their in her Room to the Floor. Her heart was filled with the mixed emotion of anger nd pain.
Antara (murmurs): Everything is fake na. then y, y I keep his gift wid me? y I keep any memory of him wid me? I dnt want anything.
She noticed the Photograph of her nd Raghu she took it nd was about to throw but couldn't able to throw it on floor. She broke down nd sits on the floor by resting her head at the edge of d Bed.
Antara(cries): y? y I m always hurted by the person to whom I trust the most. First it was Vridant nd nw Raghu. Y Raghu? Y did u came to my life? Y?
Saying dis she broke down in tears nd started crying. Shilpa couldn't see her Di's Condition. She quickly came to her.
Shilpa(anxiously): Di! Di wat happen. Tell me Di. Tum to jiju se milne gayi thi na. then wat happened?
Antara said nothing but hugged Shilpa tight nd cried. Shilpa tries consoling her by patting her back
*********************************************
Raghu on the other hand was still at Basket ball court. Watching at the ring that Antara gives him back. This is the same place where they both have became friends nd after dat more den dat but today everything was over here only.
Raghu (to himself): Hw can I hurt u Antara wen I love u so much. U didn't realize that it ached me more den it ached u wen I said dis. Nothing is fake Antara, nothing is fake. Our relationship, our friendship, our emotions everything was true. But it was necessary for u to say dis then only u'll accept Vridant. The first love of ur life.
He slowly gets up nd stared moving towards his Room. but the words of Antara were still echoing in his mind.
*************************************************
Antara cried a lot nd told everything to Shilpa. For the first tym Antara has shared anything wid her, for the first tym Antara has cried in front of her. Shilpa slowly made her seat at d bed nd asked her to lay down as her face was getting pale. She was afraid that Antara will get ill if she cries like dis only. She asked her to close her eyes. Antara closed her eyes but tears were still flowing from her eyes nd her grip on the photograph was still very tight. Shilpa decided not to take it away from her. She asked her to rest nd said dat she'll come back after a moment.
She quickly came out from her room so that Antara couldn't see her tears. She has never Seen Antara like dis. She was completely shattered. Shilpa knows hw much Antara loves Raghu nd she was sure dat Raghu also loves her but couldn't able to understand that from where the thing has gone wrong. Den she reminded Vridant. She remembers what antara has told her.
Shilpa (to herself): Di! I'll not let anyone to come between u nd jiju. U both r made for each other nd no one can part u.
By saying dis she started dialing Vridant's number.
Vridant: Hello!
Shilpa: Shilpa over here
Vridant: Shilpa! Hws u?
Shilpa: I haven't called u to discuss how I m?
Vridant: Shilpa! Wats wrong?
Shilpa: u r asking me? By the way u must be very Happy today. Afterall ur plan has been succeeded rite?
Vridant: Shilpa I m really not getting wat u r saying?
Shilpa: oh really! R u that much stupid? Dnt try to act smart Vridant
Vridant: Shilpa Listen to me..
Shilpa: No u listen to me Mr. Vridant Chopra dnt u ever try to come between my Di nd jiju. Before dis also u have done many things that has affected my Di's life but I was not able to do anything that tym as I was not big enough but dis tym if u tries to come between the happiness of my Di nd Jiju den I swear I wont spare u nd I mean it. So make dis thing clear to ur mind. Got it.
Shilpa didn't given him any chance to speak nd cuts d call nd goes to Antara's room to check her
**************************************************************
Vridant (to himself): omg! What I had done? Hw can I be so selfish? I wanted to see Antara happy nd I myself has became responsible for her condition again. Antara I was going away from ur life forever but I guess before I go there's still one thing left for me to do.
He takes out his cell nd called Raghu. Raghu who was in his Room lost in Antara's thoughts have came into senses after hearing his cell phone ringing
Raghu: Hello!
Vridant: Raghu
Raghu: Vridant! Wat happen?
Vridant: Raghu I m going back. I had my flight in next 2 hrs. but before I go back I need to meet u. pls.
Raghu: but Vridant
Vridant: ok den see u at airport. Reach there within half an hour
Raghu: ok.
Raghu couldn't understand y Vridant is going back. Because of Antara's behaviour but he didn't even know wat has happened between both of dem at date. He needs to ask to Vridant. He quickly got up from his chair, took out his car keys nd drives towards airport. He was there within half an hour nd saw that Vridant is already waiting for him.
Raghu: Vridant, y r u going back? See I know Antara may be angry on u, but u cant give up like dis.
Vridant: its over Raghu. I accept my Defeat nd its better that I go back from her life forever.
Raghu: but Vridant, u love Antara nd she loves u too so y..
Vridant: Raghu, u know only that truth which I told u. but today I m going to tell u whole truth (den he tells wat actually has happened nd wat happened today at date) yes Raghu, its true that me nd Antara r best buddies but she doesn't loves me
Raghu: wat r u saying? Vridant dnt tell lie
Vridant: its not a lie Raghu. Jhooth to wo tha jo maine pehle kaha tha.
Raghu eyes were filled with anger, he clutches his collar
Raghu: Hw could u? Hw could u do this to my Antara? Nd nw also u came back to get her. so cheap of u.
Vridant (calmly): I know Raghu, I have done wrong nd ur anger is also rite at ur place nd for dat u can give me any punishment i really dnt care for it but nw i cant hide this Truth from u. I didn't realize my mistake at that tym may be due to my Teenage affect. I was not mature enough to know the difference between right nd Wrong.
Raghu leaves his collar as he can see the realization of his mistake. If he wants he can go away quietly from here without telling him anything but he decided to tell him the truth without caring for its circumstances.
Raghu: But Vridant, y didn't u tell me dis before?
Vridant: Because I dnt want to lose Antara. I thought if u came to know the truth then u'll definitely throw me out from dis project nd den every door will be closed for me which takes me towards antara. And as far as Antara is concerned nw I knw y she didn't told u yet about dis. She haven't told u because she knews that if u'll come to know about dis den u'll definitely leave dis project nd she knews hw important dis project is for ur Company so she decided to bear me den to tell u
Raghu: nd y r u telling dis me nw?
Vridant: Because today I realize that I was wrong. I always thought that Antara loves me, but I was wrong she never loved me, but her friendship was always true to me nd I didn't care for dat also. U know she was always there for me wenever i need her, but i was not there for her wen She needed me the most
Raghu: Vridant, hw can u say that antara doesn't love u. may be she's upset nw. but I'll talk to her. everything will be fine.
Vridant (smiles): Raghu, I knw that u knows every small nd big things about antara, but still there r some things about her which only I know about her. like I know d Difference between Antara's anger nd hatred.
Raghu was quietly listening to him
Vridant: If antara was angry from me then sooner or later she has forgiven me because she knows that I always use to realize my mistake late but wen I apologize to her den after some tym she forgive me. But she didn't do that this tym that means she is not angry on me. She didn't even hate me also, because no matter hw much she hate me den also she can never slap me but today she slapped me twice (he said while keeping his hand on his cheeks) that means she didn't even hates me. Nd dis means dat I had left no place left in her heart anymore because If I had any then my Words would somewhere affects her but it didn't all dat affects her is dat u helped me in dis. U told me that your relationship is fake. Dude she loves u not me.
Raghu: Antara loves me but y didn't she told me dis?
Vridant: Because she was quite slow in expressing her feelings. U know wat I use to call her "Kaddu" not because she was fat but because of her nature, her innocence. Raghu I never understand her importance in my life wen she was with me, nd nw wen I wanted my Kaddu back den I had no place left in her life. I m nothing more den a stranger to her. pls u dnt do the same mistake dat I had done, dnt let her go from ur life. U r really very lucky that u had her in ur life, I could also be lucky if I had came back some tym before but I got late nd by that tym u came to her life. I m not saying that u have taken my place but u had made ur own place in her life nd heart. May be this is only wat I deserve. That's the punishment that god has given me.
Raghu: but wat about u Vridant? U love her rite?
Vridant: ya I love her, nd I always love her but that doesn't mean that I snatch her away from the person whom she loves. Already she has faced many things because of me nd nw I dnt want to be the reason for ruining her happiness again. Raghu I came here to claim dat love which was never mine nd today I realized it so I m going back. But if I would have gone back without telling u everything nd without giving Antara's happiness to her den I can never stay peacefully. But nw I can stay happy nd can get free from my guilt as I know My Kaddu will be at safe hands forever who'll always protect her in every difficulties nd who'll not leave her at any circumstances.
Just den d Announcement was made for d passengers who have to board flight for London.
Vridant: So tym for me to go. Or I should have gone earlier only.
Raghu hugged him tight. He didn't know wat to say to him, few moments back he was angry on him as he lied to him, he has given so much pain to Antara, but nw he was greatful to him as because of him only he came to know wat he(raghu) means to Antara.
Raghu: Dude! I dnt know wat to say to u.
Vridant: Dnt say anything Raghu, I haven't done anything for u rather I had done it for myself. I just tried to light the burden of my mistakes. Just always keep Antara happy. She deserves to be happy.
Raghu: Ofcourse nd I'll wish that u'll also find a Antara for u Soon
Vridant: dat may be quite impossible as God Didn't made any other antique piece like her after he made her.
Dey both laugh at dis.
Raghu: u r rite. She's d original one which I had.
Vridant: u know Raghu I came here to apologize Antara but nw I m going by having such a nice friend like u nd I wish that someday my Kaddu will also forgive me nd I can have chance for being her friend again.
Raghu smiled at dis nd Vridant takes his leave. Raghu saw him leaving nd wen he got disappeared from his eyes he came back to his car. The words of antara were echoing in his ears. He remembers hw Antara was yelling at him at the Basket ball court telling him wat he means to her but he couldn't able to understand that tym
Raghu (to himself): Antara I m Sorry. I m sorry for misreading ur eyes. I m sorry for not able to understand ur love. U love me so much nd I thought that I was not more den a friend to u. but nw I m coming back. I'll never let u go from my life. Never.
He smiled nd Drives towards mansion.
Precap:
Raghu manofying to antara
