"Wo kehte hai soch lena tha mohobbat karne se pehle,

Ab unko kon samjaye ki soch kar to sazish ki jati hai mohobbat nahi...!!!!!"

By my dear ridzy

Antara's POV...

When I was heading towards the door of exit from Naik Sadan I could feel his gaze on mine even though I didn't looked back at him for a minute. I saw him standing at the side of that old lady aka Rhea's grampy but I purposely pretended not to see him. I really didn't want to see him. When it came to Daya Naik I was totally cold. I knew she was the main head behind that bomb blast which took away my whole family from mine. I became cold, determined in front of her.

But it was always different when I confronted that guy called raghu!

Each and every moment I saw him in front of my eyes or feel him around only thing I could remember was the large sound of boom, those devilish imaginary faces on smoke and my family's lifeless blood covered burnt figures crushed in the mid of doom. Even at the moment when I felt his gaze on mine, it was like burning me all over in disgust, in despise. I couldn't hold myself in front of him. I wanted to cry, I wanted to burst out and ask him why did he destroyed my life like that?! That was the exact thing I wanted to ask on his face while we came to each other's front on the road last night. But somehow I managed to control myself. My single wrong move was enough to spoil the long patience I was holding for those days. I was going to confront the most powerful person of the country, Daya Naik! So there was no room for error.

Somehow, how much I despised him; I had to admit that his presence was so powerful. You couldn't ignore him whenever he was around. His persona reflects his natural appearance whenever he was close and I felt that yesterday night and also in the morning. The burning sensation of his gaze followed me till I came out of Naik Sadan accompanied by Rhea. "Ohh god I am pretty late!!.. I have to rush!!" I said looking at my watch and rushed towards our house. "Di u know..." Suddenly rhea said from side, "That Janglu... I mean raghu... he was looking at you so oddly everytime..." again my all thoughts went jumbled by rhea's word. I didn't want to think about him but always somehow he managed to invoke in my thought. "You should at least say hello to him you know di.. He was looking so poor while you were ignoring him..." Rhea giggled. "Rhea.." suddenly I stopped while we were just at the doorstep of our house. Rhea also get startled as he saw the sudden harshness in my voice, "Please, I don't want to discuss anything about him. Okk?!!" I said taking a deep breath and trying to keep my voice formal. She looked towards me with startled eyes for a while. I felt bad. why was I letting out my frustration on Rhea? She had nothing to do in that matter. I tried to make the environment lighter. "Bhooo!!..." I scared her making a sound and she jumped up holding her heart. I laughed. "So my daredevil sister is scared huh?!!" I frowned in mischief. "Di it's not fare..." she stomped her feet and moved inside the house. "Hey rhea!!... listen... Rhea.." I rushed behind her inside the house to pacify her.

Raghu's voice,

As she left the place, the whole room seemed so silent and full of dullness. Her chirpy sound and smile was like reflecting all over the huge room like never before. She just made the place so alive all of a sudden. And when she was not there, the place seemed so lifeless. I never felt my own house so empty before. Her presence was so lively and divine and just like the small ray of life which was peeped through a whole inside a dark room and enlighten the whole place.

My eyes were still on the door. She was long gone, but as if I could see her there still. Her gleaming hazel eyes, her bright smile, her sweet sound just like a nightingale everything was flashing on my memory one by one and skipping my heartbeat one by one. "Ahem ahem..." Ajji's scowl brought me back to reality from trance. I jerked my head and looked towards ajji who was looking towards me making an wandering face, keeping her chin on her tentacles. And that posture of ajji was always been a danger alarm for me. "Hmm!!!.." Ajji made a sound. "Kya huya?! Ab apun ki taraf aise kyun dekh rahi hain?" I asked scratching my head. "Soch rahi hoon..." Ajji said wandering. "Kkk... Kya soch rahi hain?!" I asked a bit stumbling. Whenever ajji thought, my khatre ki ghanti sounded really hard inside my head. Her teda mera thoughts always left me dumb. "Yahin ki kya raha hain?!!" ajji said with a frown. "Kya hoo raha hain?!!!" I asked in doubt. "Yede mere se chupane ki koshis mat kar." Ajji said giving an indicating look. "Eee ajji... teri jassosi bandh kar abh.. Kuch naii chupa raha hain apum tere se... kya hain bas ek larki hi too hain.." I didn't even know what I was blabbering in confusion. "Larki?!! Kaun si larki?!" ajji asked with another frown and I popped out my eyes. "Arey koi nahin ajji... naa larka naa larki... apun chalta hain mai se milna hain..." before ajji could eat up my whole brain I escaped the place. But I coukd clearly hear her laugh from backside. S**a hoo kya gaya tha raghunath?! Kya barbar kar raha tha ajji ke samne?!" someone asked from my inside. I never felt so confused in my whole life.

Antara's Pov...

My heart pounded a bit in anticipation as I stood at the front of lasrge glass made cabin door. The glass was not transparent so I couldn't see anything inside. That was the very first day of my office in Qureshi Industry, one of the rising star in the economy of India. Even in that low share market reprise, they managed to held their reputation and business on high. Just some months ago they launched their new product of I phone in market. For the past six tear they were serving with different kind of modern but moderate electronic gadgets and things to the population which were quite popular. I was glad to join the company. My university results helped me a lot. Even they asked me during the IVs that the result I had, I could easily apply for any foreign university for higher study, because they came to knew about my scholarship. What could I say to them about the reason for giving up on my dream?!

I sighed, holding the less of my side bag. It was long gone and I didn't have time to think about those things. I peeped through the glass door and saw the man seating inside on the other side of table and working on his laptop with concentration. He seemed around middle thirties. So he was the very person, my boss and the owner and head of the whole Qureshi industries, Mr Aman Qureshi. A much known face on the market. He was the cause of the huge development of his company. I heard that he was strict and punctual, a very workaholic person who even attend the office during holidays. A tough man to handle! But I already had my experience with our VC sir, and trust me if someone could handle him then, he or she could handle any kind of person in the world. Taking a big sigh, I at last prepared myself to face him.

"Excuse me, may I come in sir?!" I asked with a genuine voice. "Yes.." he answered without shifting his eyes from the laptop screen. Taking another deep breath I went inside. I came and stood in front of the table. "Please be seated..." he said without even noticing me. It showed his concentration and dedication towards work. I took seat and waited for him to finish without disturbing him. it was a long wait for me. Almost half an hour left and at last he finished his work and looked towards me. "Miss Antara kaul... Our new employee I assume?" He asked with a generous small smile which lit up the environment. "Yes!!" I answered back with a small smile. "Welcome to our company. I heard about you from mr Raheja who took your IV, he was really impressed with you I must say." Aman sir said. "That's so kind of him." I said. "And I hope you won't disappoint him or me either. I don't want anything from my employee rather than 100% dedication towards work!!" he said. Everyone was right, he was punctual. But I liked that. "I will try my best sir." I said. "Can I ask you something?!! it's apart from work purpose.. it's just I am curious..." he asked. "yeah sure!!" I said. "Your surname is Kaul... so I was just thinking if.. are you from kashmiri?!!" he asked all of a sudden. "yes, actually I was born and brought up in shrinagar. Just came here some days ago." I informed. Suddenly his face lit up. "Me sapiuz k'oshee twahu meelit' (please to meet you) " he suddenly said with a generous smile and my eyes popped out from my eyeholes. "Sir... u are... Kashmiri?!!" I was in shock. "Well fortunately, but it seems almost 12 years we left Shrinagar and steeled down in Mumbai. But really feeling glad to see someone from my place after so long." He said as his smile broadened. we talked a bit more after that. some about my works and some about other things. His generous gesture helped me to get comfortable to the environment and really it seemed I would enjoy my time working with him. He was punctual, workaholic but I wouldn't see him strict anyhow. she understand his employee and her problems also. After a lot of talking he handed over some important doccuments to me and say, "so from now on you are officially appointed here. I am sending my PA myrah with you. she will show you your place. Just get some overview from her about your works and then u can call it a day." aman sir said. "But sir, just overview.. I mean.. I wanted to start as soon as..." he stopped me. "Antara I know you are enthusiasm. But easy girl.. just knpow this.. slow and steady always wins the race... I told you that work and dedication is the first priority to me. But I never wanted someone to lose the chance to enjoy his own life for work..." his eyes suddenly became a bit sad but it was just a glimpse. " aur waisey bhi... antara yee first day hain tumhara... pahele din hii itna kaam karogi too baad mein kya baki rahega?! Aaj ke liye bas warm up karlo... and get ready.. kaal tumhari lambi race ki shuruwat hogi.." he said with a funny voice. "Eye y sir!!" I said giving him a salute. He laughed. "yes, never lost your funny side. it's the thing which always makes the human alive in us. Now just wait and let me call myrah." Aman sir said and dialed the telephone. He told someone to come inside the room. after some moment, an young girl of my age cme inside the room and greeted him. "Myrah, she is antara our new employee and antara she is Myrah my PA." Aman sir said. We greeted each other with hello. "Myrah please show antara her place and give her a brief overview about her works." Aman sir said. "Sure sir!!" Myrah said, "Come with me antara.." Myrah said. As I stood up, my hand unconsciously bumped with the table and a photo frame from the table fell on the floor. "I am extremely sorry sir!!" I said in embarrassed voice and was about to put the photo frame back. The photo fell on the floor facing it's back towards me, so I couldn't see whose photo it was. But all of a sudden, aman sir rushed and took it in his hand. I was a bit startled. "not at all antara.. Accidents happen." He smiled. I smiled back and took my leave with Myrah. As I looked back to close the door, I saw aman sir looking towards the photo frame with bit saddened eyes. I stood for a while near the door with startled mind. "Antara!!.." Myrah called me from behind. "yeah coming.." I moved from the place.

Myrah took me to my table and give brief info about my work. she alse introduced me with all the other employee in the office. They were all so nice young people and welcomed me with warm heart, I like the environment so much. Just like other corporate sectors it had work pressures and loads but still the environment was light and people do enjoy whenever they got free time. I guess I was going to enjoy the place and working there. After having a very good time, I at last left the place and came out of the building and moved towards the auto stand. I took an auto where the driver asked me the place. "naik basti!!" as I said my mode suddenly turned off. I was so excited about my new work place and suddenly I was out of the bubble. I stood there silent for a while. I had to go back to the same place and face those loathsome peoples gaze on me, the murderers who killed my family. "Arey madam andar aao.." the auto driver's loud voice reached my ears. I silently moved inside and the auto started. It would be good if I could spend some more time in office. The place really looked so lively which made me forgot about my pain after so long. In some ten mins, the auto reached at the entrance. I came down and looked towards the lane going out from the road, which leaded to naik basti, the place of hell in earth for me. I sighed and stepped my foot in. After all, if you have to fight demons, you have to came down on hell sometimes. As I moved further I heard the chaos from the other side and my eyebrows creased in confusion. As I reached inside the basti I saw a huge gathering on the road. Curiously I moved inside and I saw another shocking scene of the day. I saw the whole place was disaster at my front. The road was full with broken spare parts of cars, broken glasses, also saw some men of flesh and blood luring over the road in very bad condition and covered by blood. My eyes widened as I saw further. I saw a circle of some goon like man at the middle of chaos carrying some huge knifes, hockey sticks, chains and other weapons in their hand and looking at the mod of their circle where a man was standing captured inside the trap. Raghu!!.. My eye sfroze to the spot all of a sudden! True to say, I never saw him like that. His eyes was utter black and that killer look which was moving all of them who was surrounding him, that straight determined feature... everything were so new to me. I never ever saw him like that. even surrounded by those whole group of goons he didn't look a bit afraid. I could see that small smirk attached to his lips. He looked calm but still the sheer hardness in his face and the rage in his eyes indicating something in him which was about to burst out. "yee too roz kaa kaam hoo gaya bhaiya... har roz yee shetty ke gunde aa jate hain yahan humgama karne.. daya mai ke rahete too kuh nahin kar pate... woo basti se nikal te hii inke tandav suru ho jate hain..." someone said from my side. "too huya kya... raghu kee samne too inn chuzoon ki koi mazal hii nahin hoti.." another one said from my other side. I was a bit confused by their words but got the answer immediately. A goon tried to stab on his back from behind but he seemed to had extraordinary sense. He swung his body in a lightning speed that the knife didn't even touch him. At the next moment the knife holding man felt a tight unbrakeble grip in his shoulder and at the next moment he was in air and landed exactly near my feet. Me and some of the people around me backed off with a jerk. I looked towards the man with wide eyes who was who was groaning in pain. I guessed his most off the bones were broken due to that heavy fall. My feature got frozen due to some unknown chill that moved down my spine looking at the condition of that man. At that moment I heard another loud groaning scream at the front which came from the front and made my heartbeat stopped. I looked at front and got to see a scene which I never saw before. Raghu was holding around a man around who was almost three times bigger than me. That ma's eyes were popping out from his eyehole and his face had almost turned blue as he was gasping for air. I could clearly hear the sound of bone's breaking with raghu;s every tightening grip on him. At last when the saliva spilled out from his mouth he at last left him and he just collapsed on the road. he couldn't even scream, and undoubtedly he had lost his sense. Raghu moved instantly and kicked on the lower of another goon who was hitting him. I stood there rooted to the spot seeing him handling that whole group of goons all alone with his swift movement and crashing each and everyone brutally to the ground. he was like the lone lion king of the forest. How many powerful animals attack together, no one can defeat over the lion king and I was experiencing the same scene. I could totally understand that why he was called DM's most powerful one man army. Why the whole city got horrified just by mentioning the name of raghunath naik! For the very first time I saw my confidence fluttering. Whom was I going to fight?!! I thought for the very first time. I knew about the power and possession they hold but didn't ever see such dreadful showcase of their power. The man who was at my front, crushing his each and every opponent just like a useless piece, clearly showed that upto what extent he could go. He could strangle and rip off me in a second of he wanted and I had to confront him sooner or later!!! A deep gas[p escaped from my chest as I felt numb in fear. how was I supposed to confront that man?! how could I win over such a cold blooded mercenary?!! How?!!

Raghu didn't took much time to wash off those goons. They just swept out of the place with their life stammering on their feet, with their wounded body parts. Surprisingly they all were alive. He bit out of life from them but didn't kill anyone. That was really surprising! As they moved out of basti, raghu;s hard killer gaze continued to follow them till there last trace were out of the place. There was dead silent all over the place. Raghu wiped his lips with the hanky which was as usual wrapped around his chest and moved towards the tea stall at a side. the people around me started to move from the pace with a buzz. I stood there frozen for such a long time looking around the mess scattered. The scream of those people was till echoing in my ear and making me froze to the spot. How was I supposed to do everything and send them behind the bars?! How?!! The question roamed in my mind for such a moment. After some moment when I felt the silence around, I understood that I was the only one who was standing at the middle of road like a fool. Holding onto my side bag tightly I took a deep breath to got over my first shock. I remind myself that I had to confront much more than that and if I backed off at very first stage then I would never be able to avenge my family's death. I had to stay strong no matter what. I felt my lost strength was coming back. I moved at front with slow pace. due to my unconscious mind, I didn't watched on the broken car parts scattered on the road. "Ouch!!" I said loudly as my feet hit a broken spare parts and I looked down to see my feet. Fortunately, it didn't hit me that bad but my sandal was broken. That was the last thing required. With a irritated face I took off the sandal from my feet. I was about to move towards the home with bare foot when suddenly I felt that uncanny feeling. Automatically my eyes moved towards the tea stall at the roadside.

He was looking straight towards me from the bench at the front of that stall holding a glass full of tea near his lips. his black orbs which were fixed towards mine had lost that killer look and there was something else there, a bit glint of mischief flickering on the dark pools.

Ptecaap: "Dikhayi nahin deta tumhe... toot gaya hain yee!! Aur abb thik nahin hoo sakti..." she said harshly on my face. But more than her hard expressions I could see a deep pain flickering in her eyes which made me startled all of a sudden. "kabhi thik nahin hoo sakti abb... puri tarah se toot gaya hain..." she said in mechanical voice but still that pain was clear. I was feeling bad, I didn't know why when I saw those empty eyes. "Kyun thik nahin hpoo sakti... idhar de.." I forward my hand and almost snatch the pairs from her hand leaving her all startled.
