Chapter 4
This one is for Sanjana who had asked me so kindly to update this when I woke up. Beware, I was up late last night working on it and it hasn't been edited so ignore any mistakes please! Ready to find out the answer to your question, Sanjana and Hareem?
I hear something, which made me get up. I sit up and look around. Weird, there was nothing here at all. I lie down again but am unable to fall asleep. I recall what Raghu said earlier about me letting him know if I had any problem. I was contemplating on whether or not I should go to him when I heard another noise. Yeah... I wasn't staying alone anymore. I ran as fast as my feet could carry me and knocked on Raghu's door.
Come on, open the door. Finally he opens it. My words refuse to leave my mouth as I see him. He was standing there shirtless. "What happened?" he asks. I turn around and say, "Umm... Nothing." I run back to my room, hoping that whatever had been making that noise was gone now. Its ok Antara, its just a figment of your imagination. You're just really tired. Go to sleep. Everything will be fine.
I open the mini fridge that was in the room and take out a water bottle. It was sealed, so I was pretty sure it was safe. I take a sip of water and then I notice something on pillow. I walk up to my bed and pick up the pillow. There was a red stain on it. Recalling that I had been hit on my head earlier, I reach to the back of my head. I bring my hand in front of me and see that it was indeed bleeding. I had completely forgotten about it. What was I supposed to do now? I didn't want to go to that khadoos. I guess I would just have to figure something out by myself. I walk to the bathroom and look to see if there is anything remotely close to a first aid kit. Of course I found nothing. What to do now? I couldn't just let it bleed.
I heard a knock on my door. Who could it be at this time? I slowly walk up to the door, still contemplating on whether or not I should open it. "It's me Antara," I hear Raghu say. Breathing a sigh of relief, I open the door and find Raghu there. "What happened?" I ask, noting the fact that he was wearing a shirt now. "Your head, you got hit so I brought this," he says, holding up a first aid box. "Thanks," I say, about to take it from him. He moves his hand away saying that he would do it. I let him in and he tells me to sit down. He stands behind me, cleaning the wound. I hiss as the effect of the rubbing alcohol hits me. Raghu doesn't do anything to help it though. He stands in front of me, wrapping the gauze around my forehead.
"I don't need that," I say. "Let me do what I'm doing ok, we have to keep it covered or you might get an infection," he replies. What about the entire time we spent in the forest, it was uncovered then too. When he finished wrapping it, he moved his attention to the back of my head to tuck the loose end in. He moved back in front of me, his face so close to mine. I moved a bit more closer. Our gazes locked and he moved closer as well. I didn't realize when it happened, but it happened. Our lips met and we kissed. My arms went around his neck, pulling him closer to me. Our bodies were so close and I ended up lying on the bed, with Raghu on top of me. Raghu was the one to break the kiss, looking at me with his deep brown eyes. We were both breathing hard. Raghu got up, brushing his hair back with his hand.
There was an awkward silence in the room now, both of us thinking of what had just happened. I looked at Raghu. "What?" I ask. "Nothing, I should go. We'll be leaving in a couple of hours." I look at the clock and see that it's 4 in the morning. "Umm yeah," I say. He leaves quietly and as soon as the door closes, I lie down, replaying what had just happened in my head once again. I could feel my cheeks turn red. Had that really just happened? Of course it did Antara. It really did.
When we kissed, it seemed like he had let go of that strong shield that he always had around him. I felt as if at that moment, the real Raghu was in front of me, not the one that he pretended to be in front of everyone else. Why did he build such a big wall around himself? And was I the only one who he had broken it down in front of? It had happened twice now... Once when he found me and now when he kissed me. Antara, stop thinking about this. Go to sleep. I closed my eyes and finally fell asleep.
I woke to the sound of someone knocking. Stuffing the pillow over my head, ignoring it. The knocking didnt stop. "Antara, wake up," I heard a voice. Recognizing it as Raghu's voice, I immediately sat up. I jump up and run to open the door. " What took you so long?" he asks. "Sorry, I was sleeping," I say. "Hurry up and get ready, we need to get to Toronto soon. Until then I'll arrange a taxi," he says and walks away. There he was, back to himself. The hard, stoic Raghu.
Closing the door, I head to the bathroom to take a quick shower. I realize that I don't have anything else to wear. Unwillingly, I put the clothes I had on earlier and come out. I see Raghu sitting there in the bed. "How did you get in?" I ask. "You forgot to lock the door, how careless of you," he says, standing up. I look at the door and swallow. "Oops," I say. "Now hurry up. The taxi is here," he says. I realize that I had nothing with me. "Raghu, where is my stuff?" I ask. "Its still in your car. I saw it there when I was looking for you," he says. " You were looking for me?" I ask, shocked. " Well someone had to. Now come on, we're getting late," he walks out and I follow behind. He signs us out at the reception and we head out to the taxi. It was still pretty early in the morning, I didn't know why he wanted to go to Toronto so early, but seeing as I really didn't have another choice, I went along with him.
I spent most of the ride stifling yawns. I wanted to sleep but couldn't. Not if this khadoos was sitting next to me. I look out the window and I go through the events that had happened yesterday. Why was I kidnapped? And what had they wanted from Raghu? I turn to him, hoping that he would answer my questions this time.
"Raghu why was I kidnapped?" I ask. " That's nothing for you to worry about," he replies. "What do you mean nothing for me to worry about? Raghu I was kidnapped, I could have died. I have the full right to know why and how all of the happened. Who were those people and what do they want from you?" I ask, almost shouting.
"Fine you want to know? It has nothing to do you at all! Everything has to do with me. They thought you would be the perfect bait to get me to give them something. But they were wrong. There happy?" he asks. "Are you sure they weren't right?" I ask softly, recalling the fact that Raghu had been crying when he had found me. "I'm sure. I wouldn't make any difference to me if you had died," he says. I could tell he was lying. He cared about me, I knew he did. "Then why did you come to save me?" I ask.
The car is quiet now; the only sound is our breathing. He looks at me and I swear that I see a glimpse of care and concern in his eyes, the same care and concern that was in his voice yesterday. "I didn't come there to save you," he says, the look disappearing from his face completely. "I was called there and you apparently happened to be the one that was kidnapped." What a liar, I think. He told me that he had been looking for me and he had found my car. Couldn't even remember the smallest details, could you, Mr. Raghu Naik?
A/N: I think this is the longest part that I have written for this story so I hope you enjoyed it! Like I said before, I didn't get a chance to read it through so ignore any mistakes please!
