Chapter 35
The train reached at the station and antara's trance broke. She was standing all stiff at the corner of door remembering the odd moment of their closeness. Something happened at that moment which none of them could resist. She could still feel his strong grip on her waist, his tempting lips touch on her neck. She was blushing hell while remembering about those moments. She couldn't have courage to look at his side. Raghu was standing at some mere distance and stealing her glances. He understood that she was trying to avoid his gaze. He could see the faint pink glow on her chocks which were getting deeper with time. He almost smirked looking at her state. He knew that she was affected by his closeness but that much?! He didn't know that. Automatically it made him satisfied and content. He didn't want to hurry up. She didn't know about the intensity he really felt for her. She would be afraid if it came out all of a sudden. She might not be able to face that. He didn't want to hurt her again, anyhow.
As the train reached to platform, antara glanced towards raghu and saw him looking directly towards her with a hidden smirk in his face. she quickly looked away hiding her blush and she heard his light chuckle. She came out at the platform, followed by him. As they came out of the station and stood near the road silently, no one was trying to make a single conversation. Antara was still feeling cold waves through her spine whenever he was feeling his intense gaze on her. the moment of their close encounter flashing in their mind and affecting them in different way. raghu's phone rang and he came out of his trance. Antara sighed heavily and tried to detect the route which would lead her to academy. Raghu chatted with MM in phone giving him some useful information then looked at antara whose eyes were moving everywhere. She was clutching the less of her side bag tightly like it was her lifeline. "ee sun.." raghu called her slowly. Antara froze for a while as his words roamed in her ear. She took a deep breath and looked towards her coyly. Her embarrassed but warm hazels pierced him inside giving the merriest feeling ever. With a hidden smirk he said keeping his voice normal, "wooo mere ko kuch kaam par gaya hain. jana parega.." he said. He didn't want to leave her but it was urgent. "ohh okk. Tum jaon, main yahan se akeli chali jaungi." She said. At last she got back her usual tone and felt a bit relieved. "aur haan woo..." he said with slightly husky voice. "train mein apun bahut zor se tere upar gir gaya tha! tujhe lagi too nahin?!" he asked sheepishly. He saw how the faded pink glow returned back to her face yet again. Her eyes immediately moved down and looked here and there. He was extremely enjoying her shyness. "nahi... woo,..." she gulped while saying those words with so much effort. "haan woo..." he asked with a frown. "kuch naii.. main thik hoon... tumhari galt naii thi... woo jerking ho raha tha bahut jor se.." she managed to say those broken sentences almost looking at her toe. "waah, baat kya hain misscall?! Pahele too baat baat pe bharak jati thi.. aaj kya ho gaya?!.. kya chal raha hain tere dimag mein?!" he asked leaning a bit closer to her making her chock again. she composed herself with a big sigh and looked towards his black tempting eyes so close to him. it made a lots of effort to keep her normal voice intact. "kuch bhi nahi hal raha hain... ab jao tum... Mujhe bhi classes ke liye der ho rahi hain.." she said with a bit loud voice. raghu could sense clearly that her voice was shaking a bit. "naii kuch to garbar hain... plan kya hain tera haan?! Kahin abhi chor rahi hain aur baad mein too jhagra naii karegi naa?!!" he asked frowning. Antara closed her eyes with another deep breath. "raghu... ab please bakwas bandh karo... mujhe to tumhari baton mein garbar lag rahi hain.." she said in slight irritation. "ab apun bakwas kar raha hain? arey kuch din pahele tu too baton baton pein kai kai kiye jati thi aur ab itne time tak chup hain... teri sakal dekh ke lag raha hain kit era dimag garam hain.." he started his blabbers again. "tum kahena kya chahte ho?! Arey main... Main naraz kyun houngi.." she was utterly confused and irritated a bit. "kyun?! Arey kitne sare point hain tere pass... kaal raat ko apun bubbly aunty maar ke tere pass lurak gaya tha... aur aaj train pe bhi uss seat ko le ke panga ho gaya... itni sari baat hain fir bhi tu zuban pein chewing gum lagaye baitha hain..." he said in his irritating tone. "arey tum pagal ho gaye ho kya?!... kitni baar to kahe rahi hoon ki main naraz nahi hoon. Tumhe yakeen hi nahi atta." Antara really became frustrated, "mujhe to lagta hain tumhe hi jhagrne ke bahana chahiye.." she shot irritating glances towards him. "ee kya matlab?!! Apun jhagrana chahta hain hain?!! haan?" heis irritation increased as well as hers. "aur nahi too kya?.. main kuch bhi kaha tumse... koi bhi complain ki.. ek simple si baat samajhne mein itna time kyun lete ho?! Ab kya mujhe stamp paper pein likh ke sign karna parega ki... MUJHE TUMHARE PASS ANE SE PROBLEM NAHIN HOTI... tab kya tumhe yakeen ayega?!!" just at the moment the sentence came out from her mouth her eyes became wide. Raghu felt a huge shock and he stood there numb looking at her wide hazels. What just she said?! she was not at all disturbed by his closeness?!! Did she actually mean that?! antara saw how his eyes gleamed as she unconsciously said those words. She turned away to hide her face which was hell in embarrassment. She almost slapped herself inwardly for saying those words. antara idiot what are you doing?! Now what just you said?!' someone said inside her. She didn't know what to say. Raghu was looking at her back with unbelievable but lost gaze. A mild satisfactory smile was playing on his lips. "antara.." he called her in a slow and deep voice. She shook all over hearing his voice from her back. she didn't have the courage to look at him. "kya kaha tune?!" he asked with a slight naughty glint in his questioning voice. "wooo.. mujhe der ho rahi hain... main chalti hoon.." without standing for a single moment she almost rushed through the footpath. "eee.. ruk naa..." he said in a playfull voice looking at her rushing feature. A huge grin was playing on his face. his eyes were mesmerized, gentle, content. Antara looked at his side before crossing the road. He was looking at her with so much warmness in his eyes. a beautiful mild smile spread on her lips. just taking a short glance of his cute face she walked crossing the road. Raghu stood there for really a long pause fixing his eyes on her till she vanished behind the wall. He madly ruffled his hairs and laughed madly. It seemed like his pain, sadness, and agony was all going away from his all of a sudden. His heart was racing like mad.
The director of music academy cancelled the classes after 3 pm due to some urgent meeting issue. So antara and shivani got some free time. They got out of the academy. "it's good you know. If I have to hear that budhaa's lecture again then I will surely start rebel against him." shivani said. antara giggled. "don't show your teeth to me. I know they are so good and appropriate for toothpaste commercials. But sorry babes I am not going give you any break." She said making a serious face. "shivani!!" antara rolled her eyes. "sorry don't mind!!" shivani giggled naughtily, "but you know. I am very happy today." She said. "really?! May I know the reason of happiness?!" antara asked. "cause my best friend is smiling after so long!" shivani looked at her with warm smile. antara's smile widened. Both of them looked towards each other with wide gentle smile. it was true that the city gave him so many bitter memories but it also gifted her some good things also which she could cherish for lifetime. Shivani was one of them. antara again hugged shivani warmly and said, "thank you shivani! Thanks for being with me always." She said. "ohh madam. Itna hug mat kar. tere uss romeo ko pata chal gaya naa to agle hi din mujhe ura dega.." shivani giggled hugging her back. "shut up okk..." antara broke the hug and hitted on shivani's shoulder lightly. "ouch that hurts. But never mind... I know love hurts." She winked mischievously. "ufff... you are impossible..." antara stroke her head. "come on.. lets go." Shivani said. "shivani.." antara called her, "I need your help!" she said. "yeah, of course babes." She said cheerfully. Antara said about the matter. "okkk... I know some stores... but they were quite far from here. You would be late in returning back." shivani said. "it's okk. No problems at all." antara said.
It was almost 8:30 pm at night when antara came back to basti. She was about to go inside the house when she heard some metallic sound of opposite side. she looked towards machmach's garage from where the sound was coming. After some moment she understood that the sound was coming from the beneath of jeep. Antara smiled and headed towards the jeep.
Raghu was checking the oil tank and some other parts under the jeep. It was almost dark outside. He was busy in his work when suddenly someone knocked on the bonnet of his jeep. He twitched his head and two pairs of beautiful, tender feet got into his notice. A huge grin spread in his face. She was there, to meet him. The thought really warmed his inside. He slide back from under the jeep and saw antara standing there bending down to her with her warm twinkling hazels. Her wide beautiful innocent smile was removing the darkness allover as well as from his life, his heart. He joined his palms under his head keeping the support of his head on them. his mesmerized and warm eyes continued to look at her face glowing in the street halogens. An angel dared to come in his darkness and removed his all agony, all pain with her warm presence and lightening smile. antara frowned a bit looking at his silent face admiring her in a way. "kya?!" she asked in confusion. "woo apun soch re la tha ki andhere mein achanak ye 1000 volt ki light kis ne jala di..." he said in deep voice looking at her beautiful smile. she flushed a bit but her smile widened more. "Corporation ne jalaya hain..." she said teasing. "acha?!" he frowned naughtily. "bahar aao na.. mujhe tumse baat kar na hain." she said. "ruk... atta hoon.." he slide quickly from the beneath of jeep and jumped up standing on his feet. Antara didn't notice before that raghu was only is hin navy blue jeans and black vest. His well build chest, biceps on his arms were clearly visible over the tight vest which was hugging his masculine feature perfectly. Unconsciously a deeo breath escaped her chest. he cleared his hand and threw the hanky at side. "haan bol kya baat karna hain." he said looking at her. "haan woo..." before antara could finish he interrupted, "ruk, pehele ye bata tujhe ane mein itni der kyun huyi. Pakiya ko bheja tha apun tujhe lane ke liye to usne kaha ki teri collage aaj pahele hi choot gayi thi... kahan thi itni der?!" he asked in concerned voice. "woo main thora ghumne gayi thi bahar.." she said. "kya?! Itni bari sahar mein akeli ghumne gayi thi tu?!" he suddenly became frustrated. "arey par woo..." antara tried to say but he shut her, "ee apna mooh bandh rakh samjhi na. akal naii hain ky tere mein?! Tujhe yahan ka rasta bhi thik se naii maloom aur tu sidhe mooh uthayi aur chali gayi?!" his voice rose. "raghu meri baat to suno.." she tried to say. "kya sunoo haan?! Agar tujhe kuch ho jata to?!" his voice was frustration and as well as concerned, antara became silent a bit. "yaar tujhe kahin jane ka man kar raha tha too mere ko ek call kar deti... Apun to sab chor char kea a jata ussi time. Fir bhi tu kuch naii bata ti..." he said with a bit low voice. antara observed his frustrated, worried and as well as sad face. how could she say him that where she was going. It was something she did just for him, to give him her smallest gratitude for everything he did for her, for saving her life from those devils, to give her reason to live. She sighed and said, "raghu ye sach hain ki main yahan nayi hoon. Par main koi bachi nahi hoon.. mujhe apne aap ko samhalna atta hain..." she said. "haan pata hain mujhe.. kitna samhalna ata hain tujhe apne aap ko.." he said in irritation. "arey tum sun te kyun nahin.. shivani bhi to mere sath thi. Ussey Mumbai ke raste bahut achi tarah se pata hain... woo humesha mere sath thi... yahan tak chor ke bhi gayi woo..." she said. "par tu aisa kya katrne gayi thi?!" he asked in confusion. "woo.." she hesitated a bit and then opened her bag. She let out something from the bag and spread it towards him. raghu became dumb after seeing the thing in her hand. His widened, shocked eyes fixed on the mouth organ shinning in her tender palm. His amused eyes moved to her questioning face. "kya huya?! pasand nahi ayaa?!" she asked with slow voice. "naii woo..." he was struggling to find his voice. he could feel so much deep emotions flowing in his heart, "tune ye mouth organ... mere liye.." his voice was still stumbled. "woo tumhari mouth organ toot gaya thi na. to mujhe bahut bura laga. Itna acha baja lete ho. Tor kyun diya?!" she asked innocently. His eyes were still fixed on her face. He was still unable to say a single word. "dekho ab issey mat torna. Bahut mehenat lagi hain issey dhundne mein.teen char music store dhund ne ke baad fir mila hain. issi liye to late ho gaya itna. Aur tum ho ki tab se mujhpe chillaye jaa rahe ho." She said making a poor face. a mild pleasant smile spread on raghu's face. she made all those effort just to gift her that mouth organ. Even her smallest gesture was enough to make him spellbound. She didn't know how she was causing him to fall for her badly day by day by her innocence, tenderness and affection. "ab dekh kya rahe ho?! Lo.." she said with confusing eyes. Raghu smiled and took that mouth organ gently from her hand. His rough fingers brushed on her tender fingertips giving both of them impulse. Antara smiled looking at cute face. he was looking towards the mouth organ with such a joyous, glowing eyes. antara too felt so happy inside. it felt like a huge weight was removed from her heart. raghu looked at her and their pleasant gaze meet each other. "okk ab main chalti hoon... bahut der ho gayi hain aur mujhe kaam bhi hain.." she said with a smile and turned back. but suddenly his strong hand caught her elbow resisting her feet. "ruk..!" he said in ordering voice. she became confused and looked back to him. There was something fishy in his eyes which was flickering some hidden mischievous glow. "haan?!" she asked in confusion. "apni baat to bol di ab apun ki baat bhi sun ta jaa.." he said. she looked at his face with narrow eyes trying to detect what was going in his mind. she folded her hand and looked at him with a frown, "kya baat karna hain?!" she asked. "apun ko bas ek hi baat jaan ne ka hain.." he said with a mischievous frown. "haan baton.." she was confused. "yahin ki tune aaj station ke bahar jo kaha tha kya woo sach hain?!" he asked smirking. Blood dropped from antara's face as she remembered the moment when she blurted out those words. MUJHE TUMHARE PASS ANE SE PROBLEM NAHIN HOTI' the words flashed in her mind and she looked at his irresistible smirk with wide eyes. he still remembered those words?! Gosh!! A huge breath escaped from her chest and she gulped. "kuch yaad ayya...?" his smirk increased. "nahii mujhe kuch yaad nahi.." she said looking away with a flush. "achaa??... yaad dila doon?!.." he asked advancing a step to her. "ye tum kya kar rahe ho?" she moved a step backward with worried eyes. "tujhe yaad dila raha hoon.." he said increasing her smirk. he moved forward again causing her to take some steps back. He was approaching towards her without any slight hesitation and his eyes were fixed on her worried hazels. "dekho tum.." before she could finish her word raghu caught her hand and give her a huge pull backward. Antara found herself bumping on the bonnet of jeep. Her breath hitched as he found raghu standing just at her front in a very close proximity. She flushed immediately as he moved closer to her keeping his mischievous intense gaze on her face. antara tried to move at side but raghu immeaditaly stopped her sliding his hand on her both side and resting them on the bonnet of jeep. She looked at both side and found herself caged inside his strong arms. "raghu,... Tum kya kar rahe ho.." she gulped heavily as his face moved more closer to her. she was unable to move backward so she bend backward keeping her wide hazel locked with his black orbs which was getting mesmerized, intense as he was moving closer. They were hypnotizing! She was always numbed and froze by the intensity of that gaze. She bend backward as much possible for her. his face came closer removing their distance inch by inch, making her lost, making her drown in his eyes. she just stood there frozen, unable to move. Soon they were so closer to each other that they could only see each other's shadow in their eyes. Her sweet breath brushed on his face ruffling his bangs. His nose touched her and her lips parted and trembled badly. He felt that her whole feature was shaking badly under him. He smirked as he saw her giant red chicks flashing badly. He never knew that seeing her like that would be such a pleasure. Antara closed her eyes as she couldn't face the intensity of his eyes from such a close proximity. It was literally burning her all over. The moment in morning in that train flashed in her mind and she was feeling her heart was going to explode at anytime. His hot breath escaped from his lips making her dizzy. She was resisting him all those days but after breaking the wall between them, it was too hard for her to resist him at any coast. "tune yahich kaha tha na..." his deep voice shivered down her spine, "ki tujhe mere ke pass ane se, apun ke choone se koi dikkat naii hoti... yahich naa??" he said in husky voice. "mujhe kuch yaad naii..." she managed to say somehow. She heard his quite chuckle. "hmmm..." he mumbled. Antara felt that if it continued like that she would surely collapse on floor. "jane do mujhe.." she said helplessly. "pahele mere sawal ka jawab de..." he said demanding answer. his trembling lips got into his view and suddenly he loose himself. His eyes became intense as he lowered his face pointing towards the rose petals. She felt his breath near her lips. When there was only some inches distance between them. antara's phone rang suddenly breaking their trance and antara shot her wide eyes open. Raghu shank his head in his chest in irritation. "woo phone baj raha hain.." antara said in low voice. raghu backed his steps in irritation. Antara went some steps away from him. still her legs were shaking due to rush of excitement. Composing herself with a deep breath, she received the phone. "hello mummy." She said. Saroj called her after reaching at ahmedabad. She chatted a little with her mummy while raghu's irritating gaze continued to follow her. as she finished her talk and cut the phone his irritating voice roamed in her ear. "ho gayi teri baat puri... Apni kya, puri basti ki haal chal bata rahi thi apni mummy ko.." he said. antara moved towards her with a bit hard face. "excuse me, main apni mummy se kya baat karti hoon isme tumhe kya haan? Aur waisey bhi ab main jaa rahi hoon. Bahut tang karte ho tum." She said in irritation. "ab apun tere ko tang kab kiya?!" he asked in irritation. "aur nahi too kya?! Mauka milte hi mujh pe dhaus dikhane lagte ho.. mujhe baat nahi karni hain tumse... GOOD NIGHT!" she said quite loudly and moved towards the exit of garage. "eee kashmir express... jyada bhao mat khaa.. aur apna tewar thora kam kar.. aoun ko pata hain... abhi panch min tu fir se wapas ayegi..." he said from her back. "nahi ayungi,... dekh lena.." she moved forward with angry face and suddenly something furry touched her feet. She looked down and saw two big poor rat standing on her way lifting her face to her. "AAAHHH..." She screamed like hell almost making raghu deaf and antara rushed back and come near him. before raghu could understand what actually happened antara threw her arms around his neck burring her face completely on his hard half naked chest. He stood there startled as her soft feature crushed over him, embracing him tightly. He felt her soft fingers on the bare skin of his beck. Her warm breath brushed on his chest. he stood there still for a long moment, feeling her so close to him. a mild gentle smile appeared on his face as he bend down and looked at her innocent face, shaking in fear. His hands moved upward and gently embraced her tender feature pulling her more to him. She felt safe in his arms and automatically she relaxed herself in his arms gradually. He bent down and sink his lips on her hairs giving a light kiss on her top. She quivered a bit in his hold and brushed her chicks on his bare chest skin giving him such a warm sensation. He knew that how much she was miffed, she would come back to him whenever she would be afraid. Because somehow she came to know that it was the safest place for her in the earth and that man could do anything to make her safe. His smile widened and he closed his eyes keeping his chin on her top. If he could always hold her like that, he wouldn't urge for anything for his rest of the life. After a long pause, antara finally got back her normal sense and she opened her eyes. She was startled at first and then extremely embraced sensing her position. She slowly lifted her face from his chest and he loosened his grip letting her go. Her eyes were fixed towards the ground in embarrassment and her chicks were flushed as usual. Antara glanced at him through the corner of his eyes. Raghu's eyes were warm and also seemed a bit lost. He was directly looking towards her face. she couldn't even look straight to him due to shyness. God what's going with her from the morning?! At first she slipped her tongue and confessed that she liked being close with him. Before that, those moments in train where she couldn't resist his sensational touches on her and at last she accidentally hugged her. What else was remaining for her? raghu sensed her shyness and he looked away hiding his laughter. Antara looked at his mischievous mild smile through the corner of her eyes. His smile warmed her heart and made her feel good somehow. He looked back at her coy gaze and said playfully, "kya huya dar kyun gayi?!" he asked. "wooo... chuha.." she said looking everywhere with fearful eyes. "kya?!! Misscall tu chuhe se darti hain?!" he chocked another laugh. "chup raho... kisne kaha main chue se darti hoon?!.. main nahi darti unsse.." she said emphasizing her words. Again the sound of those rats came from somewhere and antara again jumped with a huge scream. She automatically clutched the handle of his vest and was about to hug him again but resisted herself that time. Raghu frowned towards her wide eyes. She quickly took back her hand in embarrassment and backed off some steps. His smirk was still intact to his face. The sound of rats could be heard again and she suppressed her mouth tightly with her both hands. Her fearful eyes were moving at each and every corner of the garage and he was having hard time to suppress his laugh looking at her like that. "god. Kahan hain wo do chuhe.." she said in worried voice. "do chuhe.. misscall iss garage ke to hark one mein chuhe ka pura joint family raheta hain..." he said. "kya??!!" she said loudly with wide eyes. "arey haan... kya hain na... woo mach mach ko chuha bahut pasand hain.. iss liye woo har jagah se chuha utha ke iss garage mein le atta hain... aur abtoo...sau doso bhare pare huye hain idhar.." he said wondering. "sau-doso!!" she gasped in unbelievable eyes. "arey naiii pichle saal hoi too das naya paida huya tha matlab aaur bhi jyada bar gaya hain..." he chuckles "aur pata hain, itna zor kaat te hain ye chuhe.." he said shaking his head hiding his smirk. "mazak mat karo.." she was almost having tears and shaking badly. He looked at her pale face and felt bad. He shouldn't scare her that much. "arey misscall... tu too rone lagi... arey apun maza kar raha tha..." he said lifting his hand to cup her face. antara shoved away his hands angrily. "choro mujhe... bahut gandhe ho tum... mujhse baat mat karo..." she said and turned back angrily. He was upset for making her sad. She looked everywhere cautiously and moved forward watching her steps. Raghu moved forward and caught her hand to stop her. "misscall.. sorry yaar... apun to bas mazak kar raha tha..." He said in apologetic voice. she shoved away his hands angrily and moved a step. Suddenly her feet tripped over a spanner and her sandals sole tore apart. "ouch!!" she winced in pain and fell on the ground. raghu gasped and quickly moved near her. antara winced in pain as she tried to move her foot. Her ankle was paining as she fell quite badly. Raghu bend down near her and looked at her face worriedly. "ee kya huya?! tere ko lagi kya?" he asked with concerned voice. "choro tumhe kya?!!" she said angrily and tried to move her hurt feet. Raghu quickly caught the ankle in his hand. "ye tum kya kar rahe ho?! Choro mera pair.." she said angrily. "ee... CHUP!!!" he said loudly in his dominating voice making her shut up. She moved her gaze angrily from his face. raghu shoved his hand and took her foot in his lap. He became silent for a while. Even her foot was such beautiful. like crafted on limestone by some professional artist, tender, warm, with a slight pinkish glow. From her toe to her ankle everything looked mesmerizingly beautiful. his mouth became dry as he continuously gaze on her foot. If there would be an ankle around them or may be a toe ring which maharastrian women wore after marriage then it would reflect with all their shine. He slowly lifted his finger and gently caressed on her skin through the sideline of her feet starting from toe. Antara felt goose bumps as his fingers touched her skin. She breathed heavily but didn't dare to look at him. his finger reached near the little bump near her ankle where she got hurt actually. He caught the bump and pressed lightly on the bump. Her breath hitched and her heartbeat became uneven as he pressed on the bump. Not because of the pain. She could literally feel any pain because she was feeling totally numb due to the sensation his touch was giving her. He pressed again causing her to let out a heavy uneven gasp. She moved forward and her wide hazels meet his intense orbs looking directly towards her. she breathed again and soon their eyes got interlocked with each other.
Precap: "yahan chuha too nahi ayega naa.." she asked worriedly moving her gaze everywhere. She heard his giggle near her ear. "naii ayega... tu tension mat le." He said in assuring tone.
