A PERFECT VALENTINE'S
For atleast thousand times she looked at herself in the long mirror to check if she was looking good. She was wearing a white one shoulder dress. The dress was hugging her perfectly, showing her perfect curves. She tied her hairs in a very delicate way and applied very little make-up which includes mascara, lip gloss and a little eye shadow. In the neck she wore a silver chain with a silver diamond pendent which had a ruby diamond carved in a heart shape, in the center of the pendent. In her ears she wore simple diamond earings in round shape. There was a silver wrist watch in her left hand and a diamond bracelet and a diamond ring in her right hand; and high-heeled white sandals.
No No No, you are not wearing such high heels Antara her best friend, Rukhsana said as soon as she entered the room. Why? It's looking perfect said Antara again looking at herself in the mirror. Yeah they are looking perfect but you are not wearing them Rukhsana said walking towards closet. She removed white flat sandals and kept in front of Antara. You are wearing these she said smiling at Antara. Antara gave her best friend 'have-you-gone-crazy' look and said No I'm not wearing those flats she pointed towards the sandals which Rukhsana had kept in front of her. These heels are looking so good. It's matching with my dress and I'm looking tall in it she looked at her high-heeled sandals. You are wearing these flats and that's final. Trust me I'm saying for your good said Rukhsana putting an end to the discussion. Antara scoffed and wore the flats I'm looking so short and it's not looking nice she moaned and pouted. Rukhsana sighed shaking her head Oh God, Antara even if you go bare feet, he's going to love you. He doesn't love's me Rukhsana, Antara said, sadness visible in her eyes. Why do you say so? How can you say he doesn't love's you? Rukhsana asked.
I'm not sure, but I think he doesn't love's me. He always makes me confuse; at one time I feel that he loves me and the other time I feel like he doesn't even want to be with me. Antara paused and looked at Rukhsana You know how it is with us, it's only because of our parents, they want us to know each other and then get married. It was because of them we started meeting frequently, going out for coffees, parties, dinners she laughed sarcastically and sighed. During this time period I started liking him, I started loving him but I don't think he will reciprocate my feelings. She looked away and then continued. It's been a week since we've spoken, he didn't even call up to wish valentine, just a message saying that be ready at 8 by now her eyes became wet.
Aw don't cry Antara, you'll spoil your mascara Rukhsana chuckled and gave Antara a side hug don't think so much and I'm sure it's going to be a perfect valentine's she said consoling Antara. No, not a perfect valentine's Antara said shaking her head it's going to be an imperfect valentine's, maybe the worst she paused maybe my first and the last valentine she said in a low voice. Today I'll tell him that he doesn't have to do anything forcefully. I'll tell him that we'll not meet if he doesn't want she chocked a sob. I'll free him from everything and will talk to both our father's tomorrow she forced a smile. Before Rukhsana could say anything they heard the door bell ring. See he's here, smile and enjoy the evening with him and I think you should not assume anything from before. Maybe God have planned something for you said Rukhsana shrugging her shoulders. Antara smiled and shook her head at her best friend. How am I looking? she asked changing the topic. Hmm, Why don't you ask him? He'll give a better answer than me, Rukhsana teased her lightning the mood up. Rukhsana, Antara moaned. She picked up her white clutch and then they walked towards the main door.
Antara opened the door hoping that it would be him but to her disappointment it was not him; it was his driver. Sir said to give it to you said the driver giving Antara a Red Rose and a small Pink colored heart shaped card. Antara nodded her head taking the rose and the card from his hand. She smiled softly looking at the rose and then opened the card.
Hey,
I'm sorry *Holding ears* I could not come to pick you up but the driver will take you to the venue. Come soon will be waiting for you.
Raghu ;)
She read and smiled, she felt it was too cute but was also unhappy that he didn't come. Rukhsana nudged her and asked through her eyes about the card. He could not come. The driver will take me said Antara with a smile, looking at her best friend. Rukhsana smiled back, He'll be waiting, you should leave now she said to which Antara nodded. All the best Rukhsana whispered in Antara's ears and Antara's cheek's turned a shade of pink.
Antara then left with the driver to meet her valentine. She asked the driver where they are going but the driver kept quite. When she asked two more times the driver said that his sir has told him not to mention the place and quietly take her, to which Antara had scoffed and leaned back on her seat pouting. She looked out of the window trying to guess where they were going but she could not figure out, the route from which they were going was completely new to her. She sighed and gave up. She just waited to reach the destination. They were now on a very sleek road which was completely dark, she got scared 'What if the driver is taking her somewhere else?' she thought. She again looked out and saw they were near a beach, she could see the sea. She removed her cell phone and thought to message Raghu but before she could do so the car came to a halt. She looked out of the window and saw a small cottage a little far away. The driver came by her side and opened the door for her. She got down of the car and again looked at cottage. The driver again gave her a Red Rose and Pink heart shaped card. It was same as before. The driver sat back in the car and drove off. She again looked around. She saw a small path which led to the cottage; there was a red carpet on it and the only light came was from was the white candles, which was on both the sides of the carpet. She opened the card and read it.
Follow the path :)
Raghu
Antara smiled and did as written in the card. She reached the door and there again was a red rose and a card stuck on it. She removed them and opened the card.
Welcome :)
Walk inside I'm waiting for you.
Raghu
She opened the door and as soon as she entered her mouth left wide open. The living room was decorated with red and white balloons and red and white candles. She smiled widely and looked around she was awestruck. She had not thought that he has plan something like this. She had thought that he would take her for simple dinner or at some party with friends. She could never think of this. She spotted a red rose on the center table. She walked towards there and picked up the rose, this time there was no card. She looked around searching for the person who has done all this but she could not see him anywhere. She then spotted an open door, she walked in and saw it was a kitchen and Raghu was not there. She again spotted a rose on the fridge with again a card. She smiled and walked towards the fridge. She removed the rose and the card and then read the card.
Searching for me???
I'm in the room ;)
Raghu
She smiled shaking her head and walked back to the living room and saw an open door. She frowned and thought 'the door was close, how did it' and then it stuck to her. Raghu was doing all this purposely. She got angry first but at the very next second her anger vanished and she smiled 'this is really sweet of him' she said in her mind and walked in the room. Raghu? she said as soon as she entered the room and was again awestruck. The room was big and decorated the same way as the living room with red and with balloons and candles. She looked around There was a big glass sliding door which led to the beach, she assumed. But it was complete dark outside. Her eyes then fell on the king sized bed with white bed sheet, two white pillows and there was a heart shaped pillow in between the two pillows. She gulped 'what does this mean?' she thought getting confused; she then brushed off the thoughts coming in her mind looking at the bed. She then walked towards the night stand where she spotted a rose and a card; she opened the card and read it.
Look out of the door :)
Raghu
She looked out the glass door and the lights outside turned on and it was not dark anymore; and a few feet's away stood the man who did all this for her; his hands were in the pockets. She walked towards him, her eyes not leaving his face even for a second. She walked as if she was hypnotized. She opened the glass door and walked down the stairs. The pathway again had red carpet but instead of candles there were small bulbs. She looked at Raghu; he was wearing blue denim jeans with white shirt tucked in and a white blazer. The point of the red silk handkerchief was visible in the top pocket of the blazer. His bangs were styled perfectly and in his feet's he was wearing white sports shoes. 'How can one look so handsome?' she thought looking at Raghu.
On the other hand Raghu was mesmerized, looking at the angel in front of him; he could not take his eyes off her. Her hair moving because of the cool breeze; making her look more beautiful. Since the time she had walked in the cottage, he was having a hard time concentrating on his plan but he tried to compose himself so that his plan does not get ruined. He was looking at her expression silently all the time. He had noticed her expression when she had looked at the bed, he could not help but chuckle looking at her. He looked in her eyes and could see the innocence, just like she was 'pure and innocent by heart', this is what he loved about her; she was completely different from other girls 'simple, sweet and beautiful' with minimal make-up. When the first time he had seen her he was surprised by her natural beauty. He had noticed that she has not put any make-up. Except for kohl and lip-gloss she hadn't applied any other make-up; and with a simple jeans and kurti. At that time and even now he wonders; 'How can one look so beautiful?'
Raghu out-stretched his right hand in front of Antara when she reached in front of him. Antara smiled and kept her hand in his. Raghu held it and bought it near his lips. He placed a soft kiss on it. Shiver ran down Antara's spine the moment his lips touched her hand. "Happy Valentine's Day" he said in his husky voice. Antara gasped slightly hearing his voice after a long week.
"Happy Valentine'sDay to you too" she said is a soft voice. Her voice was like music to his ears, how much he'd waited to hear her words. He tightened his hold on her hand to make sure she was there. Antara in return squeezed his hand answering his silent question. Raghu smiled at her gesture.You look beautiful he said, his voice almost a whisper. Antara looked down and blushed, her cheeks were beetroot red, Thanks she said softly and then looked back at him you look handsome yourself she tilted her head a little. Raghu smiled at her. Antara looked at him she felt like pulling his cheeks. Shall we? he asked bring her out of her dreamland and pointing his hand towards his left.
Antara looked at the place where his hand was pointing and saw a gazebo, few feet's away and was surprised again. She could not say anything; it was like her voice was scared to come out. She could see a table and two chairs in the center; the gazebo was open from all the four sides and was decorated with red and white balloons and red and white drapes which were moving because of the wind. Raghu took her silence as yes and then took her towards the gazebo. Antara could feel the sand even below her sandals and suddenly remembered Rukhsana forcing her to wear flats. 'Does that mean she knew Raghu was bringing her here?' she thought. Her thoughts were broken when she was about to fall but at the right time Raghu held her keeping his hands on her shoulders. Antara looked down and saw that there was a step which she missed. Are you okay? Raghu asked concern visible on his face.
Antara looked up and saw his concern. She nodded her head and said I didn't see the step. You should be careful. What if you would have fallen and would have hurt yourself? said Raghu a little angry and worried about her getting hurt. I'm fine Raghu, and I'll take care next time said Antara with a smile and assuring him. Raghu nodded his head and then they walked towards the table. Raghu pulled out a chair for her and Antara sat saying a small thank you to him. Raghu then sat opposite Antara. The table was covered with red satin cloth with white plates and a white candle in the center which was covered with a glass surrounding the candle from all the sides, preventing it from blowing off. She could hear old romantic songs playing somewhere; she looked around and spotted a music player in a corner. There was another table, on which food was kept, covered properly with a microwave on the side. The gazebo was decorated very beautifully, and the atmosphere was so romantic.
All this was just for her, she smiled at the thought. It was really sweet of Raghu to do this all for her. But why did he do this? she frowned. May be he likes me too her face lit up and she smiled slightly but then again her face fell what if he's doing all this for our parent's sake? But then what about his concern when I was going to fall? she questioned herself in her mind it can be as a friend. She answered her own question. She was highly confused now. I think I should talk to him she thought and looked at Raghu. All the while Raghu was looking at her face and was seeing the play of emotions. Happy, sad, then again happy and then again sad and finally she looked at him. Raghu I want to talk to you Antara said seriously. Raghu could hear the seriousness in her voice. But he was in no mood to have serious talks; he wanted to enjoy the evening and even wanted her to do the same. We'll talk later. First we'll have food. I'll warm it up Raghu said getting up from the chair.
Antara looked at Raghu walking towards the food table. She wanted to talk to him, tell him what she was thinking. But he looks so happy. I think I should talk to him later' she thought It will be better. Enjoy the evening she muttered remembering Rukhsana's word. Raghu came back with the food and placed it on the table. Antara looked at it and smiled widely it was her favorite Chinese. But you don't like Chinese said Antara looking at Raghu. Yeah, but I can have it today Raghu smiled and said while serving noodles to Antara. She just smiled and then they both started having dinner whilst talking but Antara noticed that Raghu was behaving a bit strange today. He was not talking much, was avoiding eye contact and seemed nervous, which was so unlike Raghu. Antara brushed the thought off Maybe I'm reading too much she said in her mind and got back to having dinner.
Raghu got up from the chair and stood in front of Antara. He out-stretched his hand and bent a little Would you like to have a dance with me? he asked politely. Antara smiled and nodded her head. She kept her hand in his and stood up. Raghu kept one of Antara's hands on his shoulder and took hold of the other. He then slipped his other hand on her waist pulling her closer and heard Antara gasp slightly. Raghu looked directly in Antara's eyes intensely. As the music started Raghu said slowly Listen to the lyrics carefully it says what I feel he paused and then continued "FOR YOU." Antara looked back in his eyes; her mouth slightly opened and eyes a little wide as she recognized the song. She was very shocked; she could not utter a word, she stood rooted at the spot. Raghu pulled her more closer leaving no space between them and started dancing.
Dil Ka Yeh Kya Raaz Hai, Jaane Kya Kar Gaye
Jaise Andheron Mein Tum, Chandani Bhar Gaye
Kare Chand Tarron Ko, Mashoor Itna Kyun
Kambakht Inse Bhi, Khoobsurat Hai Tu
I Love You Tu Ru Ru, Hmm No Re Yeah Yeah
I Love You U U Yeah Yeah, I Love You Yeah Yeah Yeah
Din Bharein Karein Baatien Hum, Phir Bhi Lage Baatein Adhoori Aajkal
Mann Ki Dhelizo Pe Koi Aaye Na, Bas Tum Jaruri Aajkal
Abarr Mein Hoon Tu Aasmaaan Hai, Paas Hai Tu Par Kahan Hai
Zidd Meri Tu Nahi, Meri Aadat Hai Tu
I Love You
Uu Ya I Love You Tu Ru Ru
I Love You .
Kabhi Kabhi Mein Khudse Hoon Yeh Poochta, Main Tere Kabil Bhi Hoon Kya
Itna To Hai Mujhe Maloom, Mil Ke Tujhe Behtar Insaan Ban Gaya
Thoda Thoda Tujhse Shikha, Pyaar Karne Ka Tarika
Dil Ke Khuda Ki Mujhe Inayat Hai Tu, I Love You U U Yeah Yeah
I Love You Yeah Yeah Yeah
Dil Ka Yeh Kya Raaz Hai, Jane Kya Kar Gaye
Jaise Andheron Mein Tum, Chandani Bhar Gaye
Kare Chand Tarron Ko, Mashoor Itna Kyun
Kambakht Inse Bhi Khoobsurat Hai Tu
I Love You Uu U U U U
I Love You I I I I Love You Uuu
Uh Onnhh I Love You
I Love You...
All the time while dancing it was Raghu who was leading Antara. Antara was so shocked that she could not think straight. As Raghu had told her she listened to the lyrics carefully, she couldn't help but relate herself to it. Whenever 'I love you' would come she would look directly in his eyes and Raghu would smile. And as for Raghu the song was saying whatever he was feeling for Antara, whatever he wanted to tell her, the song was telling. It was a perfect song.
The song came to an end and both were looking in each other's eyes. Raghu was looking at her lovingly and Antara had lots of questions in her eyes.
"I Love You Antara" said Raghu breaking the silence. Antara didn't say anything she could not speak. I do love you Antara, he said again when she didn't say anything. From the day I first saw you, My heart had recognized it as LOVE but my idiot mind would not accept it. And I being a biggest idiot accepted what my mind said he laughed softly. Now when I think about the time I spent with you, I have realized that with each passing moment the love only increased Raghu paused I started feeling things I never felt before. I wanted to be with you all the time; I wanted the time to stop whenever we went for dinners, coffees or parties and whenever some other guy would look at you; I wanted to rip his head off for looking at you Raghu sighed. But still I never agreed to the fact that such feeling is called love. I was too stubborn to accept it if it wasn't for Machmach I guess I would have never realized it and would have lost you, Raghu said the last words in almost whisper and caressed her cheek. And now that I've realized I don't want to lose you I want to be with you I want to love you.
Raghu left Antara and stepped back. He removed a velvet box from his pocket and bent down on one knee opening the box in front of Antara. Antara gasped when she saw Raghu bending on his knee and looking at the content in the box; it was a solitaire ring. And it was the same ring which she had liked when she had gone for shopping with Rukhsana at that time she had told Rukhsana that she wants 'her man' to give her that ring when he proposes her. That means Rukhsana told him, she knew everything but wait is he proposing me? she thought and looked at Raghu who looking at her before she could think of anything else Raghu started.
"I'm not good with words Antara, but one thing I know is that I want to be with you for rest of our lives; I want have kids with you; I want to grow old with you by being by your side, by loving you, I can't imagine my life without you I don't want to imagine my life with you" he paused. "Miss Antara Kaul will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you spend your rest of your life with me? Will you marry me?" he looked in her eyes hoping her answer to be a yes.
Antara had tears in her eyes listening to his words. She had listened to each and every word of his carefully and could feel the love. She still couldn't believe that he first confessed that he loves her and then he proposed her. It was like a dream and she didn't want this dream to break; she didn't want to wake up. Raghu on the other hand was getting restless, Doesn't she loves me? he thought and just the thought scared the hell out of him. He shook his head and took a deep breath, I'm waiting Antara, Will you marry me? Raghu said again.
Antara smiled as few tears made their way down. She just nodded her head; words were not coming out of her mouth. Raghu's face lit up seeing her nod her head. He smiled, his happiness had no bounds. He took hold of her left hand and slipped the ring in her ring finger and then kissed her hand and got up. He then pulled her in a tight hug and nuzzled his face in her hair. Antara hugged him back keeping her head on his shoulder and looked at the ring. Tears were still flowing from her eyes.
"I love you Antara I love you more than anything else in the world" Raghu said hugging her tighter and waited for her to reply back.
Antara as if noticed the plea in his voice said "I Love you Raghu" her voice almost a whisper. Raghu closed his eyes hearing her say the three words. He felt blissful. They stood in the same position hugging each other for god knows how long. Antara then broke the silence "This isn't a dream right?" she asked. Raghu pulled back from hug; not leaving her and looked at her face. He wiped the tears and said, No this is not a dream. Antara kept her head on his chest and snuggled closer whilst Raghu kept his cheek on her head.
I'm sorry that I made you wait and that I confused you so much Raghu said after sometime time. Antara looked up at his face trying to figure out about what he was talking. Then it stuck her that she had told this to Rukhsana before coming here. Did she tell him this? 'What's going on?' she was confused. Raghu as if reading her thoughts said, Yeah Rukhsana told me Actually when I got to know about my feelings I decided that I'll make the day special for you, for me, for us, At that time I called Rukhsana and told her to help me. She happily agreed and then helped me with everything especially with the ring. And today after you left to come here Rukhsana called me up and said what you said to her. She also told that she didn't want to tell me about this but she also didn't want to spoil our evening and whatever I'd planned Raghu pausedand smiled. She really is a good friend right? She warned me not to hurt you or else she'll kill me Raghu chucked. Antara smiled, She's the best friend anyone can ever have but I'm not going to leave her. She's suppose to be my friend and she hid such a big thing from be from such a long time. Well that will have to wait. For now I'm not going to leave you Raghu said mischievously and pulled her closer. Antara blushed looking in his eyes and Raghu caressed her cheeks. Okay now tell me did you like the cottage? asked Raghu. Yeah, it's beautiful Antara said, her mind drifted to the decorations in the cottage. It's for you, it is our holiday house said Raghu and Antara looked at him amused. Yeh toh shruaat hai Janeman, Raghu said picking her up in his arms. Antara shouted slightly and then asked, what are you doing Raghu? I have more gifts for you Raghu said walking towards the sea side with Antara in his arms.
Antara looked towards that side and spotted two beach chairs. Raghu kept her on one of the chair and sat in front of her and then pulled the big box and a lantern towards him which was kept on the other chair. He lit the lantern so that there could be little light and then opened the box. He removed a card and gave it to Antara. There were roses and hearts printed with a small message along with a big 'I LOVE YOU' written by Raghu. He then gave her a bouquet of roses, a white teddy bear holding a heart with 'I LOVE YOU' printed on it, a box of chocolates and finally he gave her a silver bracelet with a heart handing on it. Antara looked at the heart and saw that their names were engraved on it. Her eyes became wet seeing so much love. She caressed the heart and gestured Raghu to put it on her wrist. Raghu did so and kissed her hand. Is this why you didn't speak to me whole week because you were preparing for all this? Antara asked looking at all the gifts. She then looked at Raghu who nodded his head answering her question. But I didn't get anything for you, Antara pouted.
Raghu smiled looking at her face and then moved a little close to her, You have one thing which you can give me now. He said huskily putting his fore-finger under her chin and lifted her face a little up to his level and leaned forward. May I? he asked looking directly in her eyes. Antara knew what he was talking about. She parted her lips slightly and closed her eyes in response and waited for his lips to touch hers.
Raghu got his answer. He lowered his mouth on her, the kiss first was soft and gentle and slowly it became passionate. Raghu moved his one hand on her waist pulling her closer and kept his other hand on the nape of her neck, keeping her face in position. Antara moved her hands on his shoulder clutching his jacket and then moved then them in his hair ruffling it. They kissed each other till they were left breathless. Antara then kept her head on his chest and snaked her arms around his waist and Raghu hugged her back. Both were trying to control their breathing after the passionate kiss.
You'll not leave me right? Antara asked snuggling close to him. Never Raghu said placing a kiss on her head.
It was 'A PERFECT VALENTINE'S' for both Raghu & Antata
Love you all 🤗🤗🤗
