recap: raghu and antara come to raghu's place after jeet's funeral..
raghu's parents accept antara without any drama.. (no THAHRO!!!!)
raghu's parents and his siblings wish him good night and leave from the hall..
raghu takes small footsteps towards stairs.. he was still not in a condition to talk to anyone..
he was hesitating to go into his room..
he took a deep breath standing in front of his room.. he slowly opened the door.. and came inside..
he closed the door and locked it from inside...
and then he looked at her.. his heart cried seeing her condition..
she was sitting on the corner of bed probably as rima made her to...
he cleared his throat to get some attention.. but she din't look at him..
raghu walked towards her.. and tried to talk to her.. but he couldn't..
aap so jaiye.. bahut der ho gayi hai.. aap thai gayi hogi... he said...
when he din't get any response from her.. he clutched his fist in pain..
a lone tear escaped from his eyes...
he couldn't even dare to touch her shoulder..
he took a few steps backward... and sat on the recliner..
he couldn't sleep and kept looking at her face... she was staring at blank..
he kept staring at her without blinking his eyes...
- - - - -
raghu came back to his trance when he heard some chirping on his window...
he got up and looked at the time..
it was 5 AM in the morning...and then he realized that he kept looking at her for whole night...
he went into the bathroom and got fresh n up..
he knew that she won't respond to him..
so he thought of something..
he wrote a note on paper and kept it on the table..
then he came to her.. held her hand with his trembling hands.. and walked out of the room...
he made sure no one was awake...
he started his car and went to the place where he cremated jeet's body..
he took his ashes and took antara along with him.. and complete all rituals..
he then made her sit in his car and drove to jeet's place..
once he reached there he parked it in side and walked towards his house with antara
his heart cried when he saw a milk packet and newspaper on the wall
he took both the things and came inside..
he saw a plate prepared for pooja.. there were flowers, a diya, rice in a kalash...
raghu made antara sit on the sofa and immediately picked that plate and kept it in kitchen...
he came back in hall and saw antara walking towards jeet and her pic kept on the table..
she stared at the pic..
raghu walked towards her..
his hands were trembling.. but still he tried..
he held her shoulders and turned her to look at him...
he took that photo from her hands...
i beg you...!!
don't hurt yourself...
I am sorry.. if it was in my control I would have get him back at any cost...
i know.. it's hard to believe but he is gone...
you loved him...but please don't hurt your self..
because that will hurt him too.. he will be hurt seeing you like that...
let your pain go away with your tears...please..!!
antara thought of jeet and a lone tear escaped from her eyes...
she remembered all those lovely moments she spent with him.. and then that accident...
she cried remembering that...
she hid her face with her hands and cried hard...
raghu looked at her but he din't consoled her..
he wanted her to cry.. she was in shock for whole time..
she needed this...
she cried and shouted "JEET!!!!!"
she sat on the ground with a thud.. and cried hiding her face in her palms...
raghu sat down in front of her...
she rubbed her forehead.. and clutched her fists in pain...
she was about to break her bangles.. but raghu held her arms before they touched the ground...
she looked at him in surprise...
raghu held her small fists in his left hand and caressed her head with right hand..
he nodded in no.. tears rolled down from their eyes...
she saw true feelings and concern in his eyes...
he was equally shattered with jeet's death...
she looked at his face and hugged him...
raghu took a back with sudden hug...
she clutched his shirt and cried...
i love him so much.. why did he leave me here all alone..
why did he do that...
he caressed her head and held her shoulder...
Ssshhh!!!
you're not alone.. you don't need to be scared of anything...
it's gonna be fine.. it will be all fine..
Ssshhh!!!
she was crying and raghu was trying to make her calm down..
his shirt was soaked in her tears and he felt that on his chest...
he loved you a lot.. and he wants to see you happy and living a normal life...
he can't see you hurting yourself...he said and kept patted on her head to make her calm..
soon her sobs turned into hiccups..
raghu din't want to make her feel awkward.. so he kept sitting like that only..
and removed his hand from her head and shoulder...
she too came out of the hug.. and actually felt bad or guilty or awkward for hugging him so suddenly..she din't know
it's okay.. raghu said...
they both got up and raghu took a few steps backward and placed that frame on the table.. he cleaned some stuffs.. he knew everything about jeet..
and now he needed to take responsibility of few things he left...
I'll stay here... he turned as he heard antara...
he looked at him as if he din't hear her correct..
i'll stay here.. she said...
i know he left me.. but now i'll manage all his stuffs.. i cant't leave this house and can't see his identity getting lost...
what are you talking about..?
u can't stay here..
i know.. i remember what he did before leaving me...she cried remembering how jeet forced her and raghu to get married when he was dying...
but i can't do this... i loved him..
i know... raghu said.. n i am not forcing you for anything..
but he forced both of us...raghu's brows frown when he heard her...
i don't agree with his decision.. he had no right to do all that..
i love him.. and i can't accept anyone else in my life... antara almost shouted while crying...
he din't force us... he requested...and pleaded to both of us..
he was dying and it was his dying wish..so that u won't be all alone..
so that some one will take care of you when he won't be around..
he was my best buddy.. he trusted me.. he knew i'll take care of his everything..
he knew you'll be safe with me... that's why he requested us to get married..
he din't force.. all right...????? raghu replied her in anger...
antara felt guilty with his words...
she couldn't believe what she said a few seconds before..
i am sorry.. i am sorry...
but i can't do this..
how can i live with you..no...no..
no...
i can't..
i can't accept anyone else in my life..
no...
i'll stay here only...
i'll stay here..
i won't accept any one..
i m only jeet's...
only jeet's...
..
...
...
u???
he was urr friend..
hw can u agree on this..
how can u live with me...
how can you do that...?
she said and hid her face in her palms...she was crying for continuaslly...
i know it's hard for both of us..
but i can't leave u here..
u're my responsibility... i won't force you for anything.. but i can't allow you to live here alone...
i promised jeet that i'll take care of you...
i can't...antara cried and nodded in no...
raghu made her sit on the couch...
it's gonna be all right..
i talked to my parents.. no one is gonna question you anything..
they will take care of you like a family member.. you'll be safe there...
how can you say that... you can't force yourself in this relation..
you'll take care of me...because u promised ur friend..
n what about you..?? bt i can't pretend to be ur wife...when u must be having some expec...
raghu cut her in between.. no i don't..
and even if i have.. then that's my problem.. n i can manage with that...
you're my responsibility now.. not a burden...
i promise you.. i won't ask you for anything.. i won't force you for anything..
i have only one request.. i just want you to be normal with my family..
because i know them.. they have accepted you and now they will welcome you with their open arms..
i've told them that you might need some time..
raghu tried to pacify her for hours.. she wasn't agree and was crying remembering jeet.. she din't want to be a burden on him.. bt raghu requested her.. as it was jeet's dying wish.. and he wanted her to live a normal life..rather torturing herself in his absence...
raghu felt relieved when saw approval in her eyes.. but he wanted her to feel comfortable with her..
because he was completely unknown to her...
he took a deep breath and looked in her eyes...
even if we are living in same house or same room.. its not necessary that we behave like a husband wife..
we can stay there like friends...bt u need to trust me...
jeet was my best friend.. and i'll never try to take his place... i can't even think about that...
n jeet din't go anywhere.. he is right here.. raghu placed his hand on his heart...
hmmm???
she nodded in yes..
raghu wiped her tears..
bt they immediately rolled down on her cheeks... neither raghu said anything to her..
he could understand her...she pretended to be strong.. but she wasn't able to hide the pain...
c..can..can i stay here for sometime..
raghu nodded in yes..
raghu came out and met a few people, jeet had daily contacts with..
and completed some formalities...
after an hour he came back to his house.. and saw antara sitting on the couch..
we shall leave now.. he said in low voice...
she got up and walked towards the door..
she had a polybag in her hands..
raghu din't ask her anything..
he took that bag from her.. and asked her to sit in his car..
he drove back to his home.. it was late in evening by now..
raghu reached home...antara came out of the car..
she looked at the polybag..
u go.. i'll bring that..
raghu rang the bell and rima opened it..
bhaiyya.. where were you...? i went to ur room.. and u just left a note..
aur bhabhi ko bhi le gaye..

whoops!! sorry..she moved backward and they both came in...
his parents and brother were waiting for them..

mrs naik came to her.. and cupped her face..
she placed a kiss on her forehead..
bahut pyaari hai...
antara bent down and touched her feet...
she caressed her head..
khush raho.. she blessed her...
she touched raghu's father feet.. and he too gave her blessings...
ok u both get fresh n up..
