Part 3
Wake up Antara, Simmi sang. Raghu will be here in an hour and you need to get ready. She poked Antara's side gently, teasingly. Antara was already wide awake. She had gotten about three hours of sleep, after her phone call with Rukhsana. She had so many things to think about. Would she tell him? Should she tell him? Does he feel the same way? Would he say anything about that awkward phone call yesterday? She groaned loudly. Antara? Simmi asked in a voice that questioned her sanity. I'm up, she said loudly. Thanks, okay. I'll be downstairs. Eating breakfast. She spoke slowly. Antara climbed out of bed and into the bathroom. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, purple bags were under them from my lack of sleep. No amount of make-up was going to make her presentable today. She sighed and tossed her hair into a messy ponytail. She pulled on her skinny jeans and a pink t-shirt and went downstairs.
Simmi was in the kitchen eating, Antara got her plate and sat down quietly chewing in silence. Simmi opened her mouth to say something but her cell phone rang loudly. Excuse me, she said apologetically. Hello? Whoever was on the other line caused her face to brighten into a hundred watt grin. One guess, No She giggled daintily. Antara's hand was shaking. Yeah Another girly giggle. Bye. She hung up and skipped back over to Antara, her grin wide and excited. He's so sweet, she gushed. Oh that yeah I know Antara said loudly. Antara hated the way she said his name. Raaaghu Simmi's face fell slightly but then there was a beep outside and we both jumped. Antara quickly dropped her plate in the sink. They walked quietly to Raghu's car. Antara was surprised to see Simmi climb into the back of the car. She figured Simmi would want to sit up front with her new lover. Antara slid into the passenger seat, anger and jealousy threatening to overwhelm her. Woah, Antara you look awful, Raghu noted. Thanks, she said icily. No, you look beautiful of course, he quickly backtracked, just tired. Are you okay? No, she wanted to say. I won't be okay until you love me the way I love you. But she didn't. I'm fine. Antara, Rukhsana whined from the backseat. Please, just take a chance, Antara knew instantly what she was talking about. And now was so not the time for it.
Rukhsana, chup kar Antara warned, making each word perfectly clear. But Antara, she exclaimed. Raghu looked at Antara, eyebrows raised. Tum itni zidi kyun ho, Rukhsana continued. Kya hua? Raghu asked. He sounded slightly amused. Antara she just usko kuch nahi dikhta, na usko apni baat samjh mein aaty hai na kisi aur ki. she pouted, folding her arms across her chest. Rukhsana drop it, Antara was surprised to hear Raghu's voice saying this. He pulled swiftly into the parking lot, turning the car off in one fluid motion. Fine But I hope ki Antara iss baar meri baat maan le. Her voice was hard and grave. Kyunki agar woh meri baat nahi maanegi toh yeh uski zindagi ki sabse badi galti ho gi. She climbed out of the door and slammed it behind her, storming off to class. As soon as Simmi stepped out of the car Satya came to her and they left. Antara, yeh kya keh rahi hai? Raghu asked, his velvet voice unintentionally seductive. N-nothing, Antara stuttered. We'd better get to class. She jumped out of the car and almost ran to her next class in attempt to avoid awkward conversation with Raghu. When she got into class she sunk her head onto her desk and groaned again. Hey Antara Di, Satya's cheery voice caused Antara to lift her head off the desk and peek up at him. His wide grin mirrored Simmi's from this morning. His skin seemed to glow with excitement. Hi Satya, Antara said unenthusiastically, her voice flat and bored. But that didn't discourage Satya. Guess who I have a date with after school? he began, but Antara didn't catch the rest. Honestly, she couldn't handle hearing about romance when the man she was in love with was crushing on her cousin. The teacher came in and Satya stopped short. Okay class turn your books to page 108 and begin reading please. The day went by painfully slow. Antara tried her best not to think about Raghu. But he kept popping into her mind at the most inconvenient times. Like at lunch. They were all sitting together, Antara, Rukhsana, Rajveer, Satya, Machmach, Raghu and Simmi. Rukhsana kept shooting Antara death glares, trying to get Antara to tell Raghu. Rajveer was scowling at Antara for making him lose the bet. Satya and Simmi chattered constantly and Raghu kept asking Antara if she was okay. Each time she would want to admit her feelings, seeing as he was the only one on her mind. But she couldn't. And she kept accidentally calling people Raghu. Like when Rukhsana came up to her telling her to admit her love to Raghu, she said go away Raghu to her. Which of course brought on another ten minutes of Rukhsana's smugness. And after a while, Antara decided Rukhsana was right. She would never know what would happen with Raghu if she didn't try. If she didn't at least admit my feelings, she would never know if he felt the same way. And if she didn't say it now, he could be dating Simmi in a week and it would be too late. And she couldn't lose Raghu. Not now, not ever. He was much too important.
Sure she could be setting herself up for the greatest pain she had ever felt in her short twenty-one years of life. But then again, she could be setting herself up to experience the greatest love. And that was a risk she was willing to take. For Raghu, and for herself. So that's what brought her outside Raghu's class after school. Her palms were sweaty, her stomach was so full of butterflies, she thought she might puke, and her hair was a mess from running her fingers through it constantly. When Raghu came over, he was in a rush for some reason. Hey Antara, he greeted me walking towards his car. Antara took a few deep breaths, willing herself to speak. Raghu looked up at her, his eyes confused, probably wondering why Antara didn't answer him. Kya hua? he asked. Raghu, she breathed. He smiled, satisfied that Antara had finally answered. She smiled back, satisfied that she had found her voice. I have to tell you something, she began. Can it wait? he asked apologetically. I have an appointment after school and I can't be late. He gave her puppy dog eyes that she couldn't resist. It's important, she persisted. I know, but I really can't be late. Can you get a ride with Rajveer? He glanced at his watch and cursed softly. Raghu I really She began, her voice weak. She felt tears welling up in her eyes, but bit them back. She would not let him see her cry. I know Antara I'm sorry, but I have to go. Mein already late hoon. Mujhe baad me phone karlena please. He smiled her favorite crooked grin, kissed her forehead and hurried away. She stood behind him, breathless and shaky. There she was, ready to take her big leap. But he had rushed away so quickly, she hadn't even gotten a chance to jump. She had already taken the first few steps toward the edge, preparing herself. She was still standing on the edge, looking down below, wondering what would happen if she really took a dive. She had been ready. But he had sidestepped her easily, like he had known what she was going to say and didn't feel the same way. Her lower lip trembled lightly and she stumbled off, trying to find Rajveer. He was standing with Rukhsana and Machmach. Tumne usko bataya? Rukhsana asked. Antu, did you Machmach asked eagerly. You better have, Rajveer snapped. Tumhari waja sai mein bet har gaya! Antara frowned at all three of them. Damn Rukhsana tumne SABKO bata diya kya? Well Rajveer ki toh batana hi tha aur Machmach ko to pehle se hi pata hai na. She defended herself. Well no, maine usko nahi bataya, maine koshish ki lekin who pehle hi bhaag gaya. Antara said. Rukhsana pouted and Rajveer rolled his eyes. And now mujhe ride chahiye kyunki Raghu to chala gaya, Sure Rajveer said. Simmi ko bhi ride chahiye ka, woh bhi toh tum dono ke saath aati hai na? No she was going out after school, Rukhsana answered. And then it hit Antara like a ton of bricks. Raghu's "appointment" is a date with Simmi. That's why he didn't want to drive Rukhsana or me and why Simmi didn't need a ride home. Because she was going out with Raghu. He must have asked her when he called this morning. And he must have figured out how I felt about him, so that's why he lied. He could have easily heard Rukhsana when she was yelling on the phone last night. And he was trying to let me down easily. I felt a sob make it's way into my throat but I somehow managed to hold it in. Unendurable pain was crushing down on Antara. Her heart felt like it had been ripped out of her chest. She felt like she couldn't breath, like her lungs had been stabbed with the pain. She could feel herself tearing up. I will not cry in front of everyone, she promised herself. I will not cry. Antara, kaunsi duniya mein ho? Machmach's voice snapped her out of her daze. She was waving her hand in front of Antara's face, trying to get her attention. Yeah, sorry she said quickly. Everyone looked at her, startled by the pain in her voice. Antara tum theek ho na? Rukhsana asked.
Yeah, mujhe kya hoga. Mein bilkul theek hoon. 101% she answered. Chal andar chal Antara, Machmach said uncertainly. Tumhari tabiyat theek nahi lag rahi. Antara just nodded not trusting herself to speak. They led her to the house and to her room. Rukhsana and Machmach kept giving Antara weird looks. I will not cry, she repeated over and over, her mantra. I will not cry. Antara sank into her bed after Rukhsana and Machmach left. Crushing sobs ripped through her chest. Tears were streaming down her face, fast and furious, unrelenting. She cried for herself. She cried for the pain she was feeling and for lost love. She cried for what could have been. She cried for all of the shared memories. When she looked back now, it was so obvious she was in love with him. She was the last person to know, and now it was too late.
She continued to sob and sob until she heard footsteps. It was Simmi. She was giggling, her voice excited. Another voice, a low, male voice, was whispering to her. It didn't sound like the velvet she was used to, but she figured it was because she was so far away from him. She wanted to run downstairs and toss herself into Raghu's arms, but she couldn't. She managed to calm herself down enough so her pain wasn't noticeable as Simmi came running into the room, already jabbering excitedly. Oh Antara, she said. I just had the most wonderful date ever. Antara tuned her out then. She didn't want to hear about her perfect date with perfect Raghu, her Raghu. But he's not my Raghu and he never will be. She talked about how they had gone to the beach and blah blah blah. Antara kept trying to tune her out but her last words cut into her like a knife. And he kissed me, right before he dropped me off she gushed. Antara almost gagged. Tears started streaming down her cheeks again. And we're going out again tomorrow, It's so wonderful! He's so wonderful. She sighed happily, opening her mouth to continue. But Antara couldn't take it anymore. STOP she shrieked. Simmi looked taken aback and scared. She took a few steps backwards and looked at Antara, worry in her eyes. I can't take it anymore I don't want to hear about your amazing date with Raghu Naik I don't want to hear how amazing of a kisser he is, I don't want to hear any of it she started sobbing so hard that by the end, she couldn't even speak any longer. Simmi was watching Antara and she was smiling. Stop smiling like that, It's killing me having to hear this And you think it's funny she snapped, disgusted by her best friend stealing cousin. You didn't listen to a word I said, did you Antara? Simmi said with a sly smile. She shook her head slightly but she didn't look mad. Huh? Antara said stupidly. You weren't listening to me. It was a statement. Antara shrugged, not really apologetic. She didn't want to listen. Because if you were listening, Simmi continued. You would have realized that I wasn't talking about Raghu at all. Antara was shocked. What? She gasped. Raghu and I are just friends. He told me the first night. He said he loves someone else and he was sorry but he wanted us to be just friends, she explained. The walls were spinning. Antara's whole world felt like it was being tipped upside down. Simmi didn't look too upset about Raghu not wanting her. But then everything else caught up to Antara. Then who were you on a date with? She asked. Satya Naik. He called me this morning, remember? she said calmly. And then it hit Antara. It wasn't Raghu that had called her. It was Satya. He even told me he had a date Why hadn't I listened? And he asked me to go out to the beach with him. So I agreed. Simmi said. So you weren't with Raghu? Antara verified.
No, Simmi said. She had a playful smirk on her lips. You love him, don't you? she asked. Antara nodded unable to speak. You know, I think you're the girl he said he was in love with. I mean it is painfully obvious. The way he looked at you, especially that first day I was here. I mean, I just assumed you two were together. It was shocking that you weren't. She smiled at Antara's clear confusion. But Raghu rushed off after school, Antara said more to myself then her. He had a doctor's appointment. He told me, she said simply. He wanted to make sure I had a ride home. So the reason she didn't need a ride from Rajveer wasn't because she was with Raghu. It was because she was with Satya. I should have known earlier. They kept chatting throughout lunch. And Satya chose to tell me about his date, probably thinking I'd want to know since it was my cousin. It was all so obvious now.
The relief that washed over her was so immense, it was like a huge burden was being lifted off hers shoulders.So you two aren't dating? Antara asked breathlessly. No, she said shaking her head. He's crazy about you Antara. And I think you're pretty crazy about him too. I am. Oh Simmi I am She gasped and jumped up and tossed her arms around Simmi's neck, hugging her tightly. She giggled lightly. I have to go. Antara squealed. Tell him Antara. I'll see you soon. Her eyes were twinkling and she beamed at Antara. Thanks Simmi Tell everyone where I went, if I'm not back in time, she gasped. Antara ran out of the door, running to Raghu's house next door. She pounded on the door and dadi and Rukhsana answered. Go tell him Rukhsana commanded, pointing upstairs. Hai, akhir dona ko pata lag hi gaya Dadi exclaimed. Of course Rukhsana and Dadi already knew why Antara was here. She just nodded and made her way up to his bedroom at top speed. She froze when she was outside of his door, catching her breath.
There were two ways this could turn out. One, I could go in there and tell him how I feel. And he could say he didn't feel the same way. My world would be crushed, my heart broken. And I would lose my best friend Two, I could go in there and tell him how I felt. And he could say he did feel the same way. He could sweep me up into his arms and kiss me passionately and lovingly, and my heart would sing, my world would be completed. And we would live happily ever after. She raised her sweaty hand to knock on the door, praying to God it would turn out like option two.
Seher Hone Ko Hai
