Chapter 20
Socha aaj kuch uss ke siwa sochu,
Ab tak issi soch me hu ke or kya sochun...!!!
Part 1
Raghu's POV...
My silent eyes were fixed towards the door which slowly got closed hiding antara's face behind that. standing silently on the street I just thinking that just like that door she always closed her mind, her heart from me. Whenever I tried to explore through that forbidden place she built another huge wall which didn't had a single whole. Her anger always depicted some deep pain she was hiding inside. Those hazels seemed always wet and wanted to let out some pain through tears but she hold everything inside forcefully. That day I saw her crying silently in that balcony, after that I never saw her being weak for a single moment and let out her inner frustrations.
"Ohhh Raghu mia!!..." someone snapped her finger in front of my eyes. I knew who it was.Twitching my neck sidewise with small irritation I met ruksana's gleaming eyes. "Yee khambe kii tarah beach raste mein khare khare kya soch rahe hoo?!" she as usual teased me. "Eee apun tere koo khamba nazar ata hain?!" I barked. "Sakal too waisi hii bana kee rakhte hoo humesha. Galti se kabhi hasa bhi diya karo janab, sehat kee liye acha hota hain!" Ruku giggled. "Eee tujhe apun kii sehat kii fikar karne kii zarurat nahin. Par tune kaha nahin kii aaj tu wapas ane wali hain?" I asked. She looked a bit shocked while I said those words. "Raghu mia, main kab bata kee aa ti jati hoon?! Main too yaar woo ddlj kii Raj kii tarah, hawa kii jhoke kee sath jati hoon aur ussi kee sath wapas aati hoon." She said dramatically stretching her hand giving her world famous SRK pose. God this SRK!! "Too hawa kee sath hii chupchap wapas jati. Yee beach raste mein bawandar ban ne kii kya zarurat thi?!" I asked her quite harshly. "Huh?!!" she looked at me in confusion. "Apun woo station mein joo locha huya ussi kee barein mein baat kar raha hain. Kya zarurat thi Bhoja aur Kaluya kee sath panga lene ki?! Tujhe pata nahin shetty kya kar sakta hain agar uss kee bhai koo chot pauche too?!" I asked her. "Ohh janab koo all ready sab kuch pata chal gaya. Kya baat hain... main too famous hoo gayi!!" ruku said jerking her hairs. "Oye yee nautanki bandh kar apni ruksana. Serious batein kar raha hain apun." I said harshly. Ruksana's smile vanished and she looked towards me with a bit silent eyes. "Too kya karte hum log?! Chupchap khare khare tamasha dekhte?! Pata hain tumhe woo log kaisi bdtamizi kr rahe the mere sath?! Woo too sukar hain woo antara mere sath thi iss liye. Pure train mein itne sare log the pr kissi nee himmat nahin ki. Bas woo akeli thi jisne mujhe bachane kee liye unn gundo kaa samna kiya..." She said and I stood their silently scratching my head. "Pata hain... Antara koo chalte huye train see bahar feknee jaa rahe the woo dono. Mere liye khatra mod liya uss larki nee. Main kaise chupchap khare khare dekhti..." as ruku said those words my heart leaped in a slight fear at first. Then suddenly my jaw stiffened. I didn't know why I had the urge to throw down bhoja and kaluya from running train as they tried to do with antara. Letting out a big sigh, I said, "Woo sab too samajh mein aa gaya. Par udhar lafra karne ki kya zarurat thi?! Shetty too abb jal bhoon rha hoga. Pagla sand (bull) bana huya higa woo takla. Pata naii kab apna singh utha kee dhusa maar nee aa jayein." I said thinking deeply. Ruksana also looked bit worried. "Sach kaho too woo dr mujhe bhii hain. Par mere liye nahin... Dar mujhe antara kee liye lag raha hain. Asalmein bhoja aur kaluya koo aarrest karwane kee piche sab see bara hath too ussi kaa hain. Ussi kee baton se soye huye public achanak see char pare uss kaluya aur bhoja kii upar. Aur police koo statement bhi ussi nee diye hain akele. Mujhe saamne bhi anne nahin diya. Bas yahin kaheti rahi ki mujhpe musibat aa sakti hain agar maine statement di too! Khud sara musibat apne upar lee liya." She said. I didn't know why as she said those words, my eyes moved towards the balcony of her room. Antara was standing there, putting off the dried clothes. She developed a respect for me that day. Although her behavior towards me was bitter, harsh, but I had to say that there was really some rare qualities in her which I couldn't ignore. Specially the way I saw her always caring about others. She was always ready to help anyone with a smile, unconditionally, happily. That might be those pigeons whom she fed in that morning, the little kids of basti and elder peoples. She didn't let ruksana came in the limelight cause she knew that she could get into trouble. That day I discovered a small nature from the hidden inside of Antara.
She might posses an egoistic nature, but she was dead selfless. She never thought about her own while it came to helping others.
But she didn't know that the city was just not so good for such kinds of people. They didn't appreciate the selflessness rather than they got advantage of such good qualities.
Ruksana was still blabbering while my concentration was on antara. she as usual didn't noticed me and moved inside after finishing her handy. I sighed and concentrated back on ruksan. "EK baat bata ruksana, tuu uss yedi see milli kaise?!!" I asked in curiosity. "Yedi?!!" Ruksana frowned. "Arey mera matlab woo antara... ab chor naa yaar!!" I said sheepishly looking at the curl in between her brows. "Tum larke bhi naa... " she sighed and started to tell me that how she met antara in train. After finishing everything she said, "Pata hain raghu. Bhoja aur kaluya nee jane see pahele khula dhamki dii thi antara kook ii woo log unhe nahin chorengey. Unn dono ka chehera dekh kar hii lag raha tha kii woo iss baat koo jald nahin bhoolengey." Ruksna informed worriedly. "Kya?!" the question came out instantly from my mouth. So, my doubt was not wrong. "Haan!!..." she informed me while her eyes moved from me. "Arey bhaijaan!" Ruksana probed. I moved my eyes and saw arshad bhai coming out of a taxi and paying. Arshad bhai was ruku's elder brother who owned a bakery in our basti. Ruku moved towards him as well as me. "Arey ruksna, Tum thik too hoo naa?!" Arshad bhai said worriedly. "Haan bhaijaaan main too thik hoon, Par aap kahan see aa rahe hain?!" Ruksana asked him. "Sukar hain!!" Arshad bhai let out a big sigh of relief and said, "News pee tumhe dekha tha, too ammi thora preshan hoo gayi thi. Iss liye police station gaya tha khabar lene. Pr wahan jaa kjee pta chala kii tum whan nahin ho." He informed. "Haye Allah!! Yee ammi bhi naa!!" ruku stroke her forehead, "Jaldi chaliye, abhi ammi koo shant karn parega warna fir se unki BP bar jayegi!!" She prompted to go with arshad bhai. Asrashad bhai greeted me and asked about my wellbeing. I answered him smiling and they both were about to leave when ruksana suddenly stopped him. "Bhaijaan, woo aap kee pass chute hongey das rupay ke?!" Ruku asked. "Haan kyun?!!" He asked. Ruku fetched a 10 rupees note from him and stretched to me. "Raghu ek kaam kar saktey hoo?! Yee paise antara koo dee dena. Mere pass chute nahin the iss liye auto rikshaw kee bhara nahin de payi." Ruku said. "Mere koo kyun de rahi hain?! Tu khud jaa kee wapas kar dena!" I offered her. It was clear to me that she didn't like me a bit. So staying away from her was better for me and for her as well. I didn't want to create unnecessary fights. "Arey de doo naa, pata nahin kab mujhe waqt milega. Udhar kee paise jitney jaldi mita diye jayein utna cha hain." she said handing over the note in my hand. "Arey par..." she didn't gve any chance to let me speak and went along with arshad bhai. "Lee gaya bhains pani mein!!" I said scratching my head as my eyes moved up to reach to her balcony. "Ab s**a abb uss kee samne kise jayeg tu. Jate hii too woo... kya kahete hain... jwalamukhi(volcano) ke tarah fatt jayegi!!" I thought in my mind. "Par paise too wapas karne parengey. Warna idhar yee ruksana too mere koo kacha kha jayegi." The thoughts evokes in my mind. "Par kaise karein..." I continued to thought scratching my head and stubbles looking towards the balcony for a while. But nothing came in my mind. so at last giving my jumbled head a break, I moved towards naik sadan.
Antara's POV...
The bright moon was shining with its glory. It was so late at night and the solitary was spreading all over the environment. Even the street dog who used to bark at those moments were quite, seemed like even they were mesmerized by the scenario. Standing at the corner of our houses rooftop I was looking towards the moon as it was looking towards mine.
Thank god mammu and mummy didn't make much chaos about the incident regarding to railway station. Mummy jii was a bit worried but she didn't scold me or accused me for doing wrong. Rather than she told me that she was proud for whatever I had done. And my mammu was always great to lighten the situation with his sense of humors. At that moment I was feeling so blessed and lucky once again. Just like my momma and pappa used to support me always, now my momma and mummy were being my support. After they assured me that everything was fine I just hugged them saying that they were the best. Really I meant that. My mammu and sarru darling just smiled but also warned me to be careful on the roads and I promised them to do so.
I was remembering those moments while looking towards the moon. It had become a habit for me now days to come at the rooftop at late night before sleeping. The solitude really gave me peace of mind after a whole hectic day. Each and every day drained me both physically and emotionally with each and every incident happening around me, letting out more life from me. How much I tried, the big hidden scar inside my heart wouldn't heal any day. It would pinch always. A single day changed me entirely. The girl who always loved to be around people, the girl who loved the cheerful, joyful voice of life, who made her collage teachers mad with her pranks and naughtiness, searching for solitude. She didn't want to be near chaos anymore. That loneliness had been the part of her life. Just like the bright moon in that sky. It was surrounded by billions of stars, but still it was alone. It spread light and removes the darkness from the world. Everyone admired moon bit no one notices the almost invincible scars on its body. Just like I came to touch with so many people every day, smiling with them, leading my life, hiding the scratch inside my heart which bleed always, when Kirti used to talk about her father and her wonderful bonding, parth talked about her mother's my eyes started to found for a lone corner in office where I could hide and shed my tears without showing to anyone. I thought I would get used to it with passing day. Wrong!! It was getting worse with time. A deep sigh escaped from my empty chest. I stood there closing my eyes for a while trying to listen to my heartbeat, strange I couldn't hear anything. I doubted that if I was really alive. A sweep of wind hit my face and as if the sound of sweep reflected on my empty chest's wall. Again I felt moisture under my lids. I asked myself that what I was used to be before and what had I become. My dreams, my ambitions, my passions all were burnt and wiped off mercilessly. I just transformed into a living dead body, without life, without soul, burning everyday on the pyre of unbearable pain. Revenge, hatred, mind games, had I ever wanted anything of those?! What sin had I committed that my life turned out to be nothing but the ash of flames? I might be able to expose DM and others, but would I find my peace of mind after that?! I didn't think so.
My thoughts were interrupted when my mobile vibrated in my hand. I saw mayank's name on screen and quickly wiped off mu tears. "Hello mayank?! How are you?!" I asked him trying to keep my voice firm. "Hello antara, I am fine... and guess what I have some surprise for you." he said with cheerful voice. "Surprise?! Okk, just first of all tell me if there was any news regarding to bomb blast case?! Did mr Pradhan or cornel uncle found any clue which can help us..." my voice was stopped midway. "Antara please not again!" Mayank's voice got a bit miffed. "Mayank you know, how important that thing is to me. I bet my everything, my life for that... how can u say that mayank?!" I asked her with a bit harsh voice. "I know antara that how much it means to you. But girl.. just give yourself a break, you are just running like mad. Hold on girl and take a deep breath. You need that! Antara I don't want to admit that but you are losing yourself among all these. Where was that antara whom we knew?! She was not like that." He gave me a min whole lecture. "Okk okk mayank I am sorry. I know I am being rude. Actually my head was quite jumbled up. I am really sorry." I apologized. "It's okk antu, pappa and pradhan uncle had gone to ladakh for some urgent mission. So for now I don't know anything that if they hve any progress regarding to the blast." He informed me and then changed the topic, "Antara please can we talk something else?!" Mayank said. "yeah sure, you are talking about some surprise naa? What's that?!" I asked curiously. "Someone is here to talk to you. Just hold on a second..." Mayank said and there was a pause at the other side. I frowned thinking who could be that. Just after some moments a little voice hit my ear. "Didu!!" as I heard the voice it seemed like healing energy to my wounded soul. my eyes widened for a while as I couldn't talk. The little voice seemed like only ray of hope in darkness around. "Ishan!!!" I uttered with slow voice. "Hey didu... how are you?!! Wait, maayank bhaiya wanna talk to you." Ishan's voice disappeared from the other side. "Hey antu, how was the surprise?!" Mayank's voice asked from other side. "Mayank... Ishan... is he with you?!! But how?" I was a bit surprised. "Actually, ishan's summer vacation was going on. So I thought to bring him to my home. Little buddy will get bored all alone in the hostel." Mayank's said. "Hey mayank bhaiyaa, I am not little buddy. I am the man!!" I heard ishu's loud voice through phone and giggled. I felt so light after long. "Okk antu.. it's over to u know. Handle your little man. I have some work. Mayank said and handed over the phone to ishaan. I talked to ishan and asked him about his whereabouts and schools. He answered me and talked a lot as usual, about his session, his classes, his sports day fun and his friends. And I listened to his innocent talks with a smile in my face though my eyes were still wet.
Raghu's POV...
It was almost 10:55 in night and I was still scratching my head that how to give back the 10 rs to antara. God, what a job ruksana had given me. If she told me to go and take care of some goons it would be easier than that. Whole day I was thinking that how to do that. My logical mind said to go straight and hand over the money to her. Sometimes I went and stood in front of her houses door, but I couldn't press the calling bell or even knock. I didn't know why I was sweating and wiping my face now and then. After standing for almost five minute like a fool I at last moved out on the road and kicked something randomly on the road. Why everything related to that girl was so complicated. Scratching my frustrated head I rushed back to my balcony to think about some other ideas. I could give that to saroj auty or govind uncles hand, but what was the guarantee that she would take that money. What if she refused to take the money? She could do anything if her brain's screw get loosened. I couldn't get satisfaction till I hand over the money to her myself. so I thought and thought. Should I throw the money to her balcony just like I threw those sandals in her balcony?! At the next moment I feeling like bang my head for the stupid idea. the note would never reach to her balcony like the sandal, it would fly away instead. Huh!! I was clueless that why the heck I was acting and thinking so stupid things. The local of 10:55 passed away but I was not feeling like playing mouth organ. Lying on my cot silently I looked above. The sky was seemed glowing with the moonlight. Everything looked fascinating all of a sudden and for the very first time I felt like moonlit light really looked dreamy sometimes. Again another odd thought, roaming all over my mind, since when I started to get fascinated by those stupid moonlit night etc etc!!
I whistled to clear my mind when I saw a chink of pink color on the rooftop corner of govind uncle's house. My brows frowned in confusion. As I observed thoroughly I could detect that it was a part of pink veil which was hanging from the wall. I got to see a shadow fig along with that. Looking at the height and shape it was not hard to detect the person. I didn't know what happened to me, like someone pushed me and I jumped up from the bed. Rushing down the stairs I found myself at the road just after some minutes standing near the two stored building of govind uncle's house. I looked at the rain pipe which went upward to the rooftop. Quite easy it was. I went a bit backward and then jumped up setting my hands and foot on the pipe. Slowly with the support of my hands and leg I moved upward.

Part 2
Antara's POV...
"Didu, are you feeling sad?!!" ishan's little voice asked me from the other side of phone. I wanted to say no, not to cause worry to my little brother. But still, his honest question didn't let me lie. Also I was feeling so exhausted lying around about my state. I knew ishan wouldn't understand such complicated things but I really needed to talk to someone about my remorse. Just to vent out for a while. "Hmmm! How could u say that?!" I asked him without giving direct answer. "Cause whenever u are sad and crying ur voice sounds like trumpet!!" ishan giggled. "Ishu!!!" I rolled my eyes but at the next moment a pleasant small laugh escaped from my lips. after some light moment ishan asked me in his innocence curiosity. "Didu! What happened?! Any problem?!". I couldn't decide what to say. "Didu u remember what pappa used to say?! Apne gham koo kabhi apne andr dawana nahin chahiye... kyun kii agar sadness ka bottle overflow hoo jyega too bahut zorro see toot jayega!" he remind me. I sighed as I remembered my dear pappa's advice. He never let me hide anything from him. He was my best friend with whom I shared my everything. He always used to say that depression and sadness is the most dangerous disease existing because it didn't have any medication or treatment.
"Didu bollo naa..." ishan asked me again I sighed and said, "I don't know ishan.. Even I am so confused about everything happened around me. everything was getting jumbled up." My voice almost broke while saying those words. "Didu!!" ishan asked in a little startled voice. I pressed my mouth harder so that the sound of sobs didn't come out. My chicks were overflowing with salty waters then. My plm which was attached to mouth get drenched. "Didu. What happened?! Why are you not talking to me?!" ishan's voice was so worried. I somehow hold myself and said in low voice. "U know ishan, I am feeling so clueless and really exhausted. I am getting tired ishan. The point I was standing at the moment, I couldn't see any way out from here. Like I was trapped and suffocating in a all dark room where a single glimpse of light or a little fresh air couldn't reach inside." I couldn't say further as I lost my voice. ishan was all silent at the other side. I was regretting to say all those things to him. Poor little chap didn't even know anything about life. I hope the thing didn't hurt him or put any bad affect on him. What a horrible sister I was. I should keep my brother away from all the sorrow rather than I was jumbling up with my own problems. "Ishan!!... I am sorry!" I said slowly. "Didu!.." ishan uttered slowly. "U remember, nani used to tell us a story, about princess rupanzel. The witch imprisoned her in a tower from where she could never escape. There was darkness all around, the air was so rusty. The evil witch didn't showed any mercy to her. But still rupanzel didn't lose hope, in that dark room of the high tower, she kept her eyes intact to the only single window of that tower hoping that someday someone would come to rescue her. And one day, really his prince arrived through the window holding her long hair and rescued her from the clutch of evil witch." Ishan said in single breath. Rupanzel was used to be one of my favourite stories at childhood. "Yes ishan I remember!!" I said with a small smile. "Then u must remember what she used to tell at the end. We must never lose our hope whatever the situation may be. Angels always watches over us and if we doesn't lose our hope they will send our prince charming in our life one day." ishan reminded me. how could I tell that poor little fellow that the reality was so harsh, beyond his imagination. Angels and prince charming like thing didn't exist in real world. In the real world, you have to fight your battle all alone. No one will help you. The path I had chosen, there was nothing but destruction. No one could bring back happiness to my darkened, burnt life. "Ishan! I really don't need anyone. I have you, and that's enough for me." I told him with a smile. "Didu, our momma-pappa had became angels now naa?!" he asked me. I again choked and resisted the burst which was about to come out from my chest again with so much difficulty. "Didu, our angel watches over us naa. So momma-pappa, appa all are surely watching over us. I know they will surely bring back happiness in your life. Just trust on them." Ishan assured me. I was really amused that how much matured my little chap had become that he was actually convincing me. "I do believe in them Ishan. They are the strength for me to survive. But it was too late now ishan. Happiness is something which is now far away from me. Just let it go ishan, it's too late at night and you should sleep now." I told him. "No Didu... I won't go." Ishan said stubbornly. "Please ishan. You are my good brother naa?!!" I tried to convince him. "I will go but didu... let me tell u a secret... I did it myself and it worked. I closed my eyes and wished to momma for my good result and u know I came top in recent class taste." He said. "OHH really?!" I said in happy voice. "DIdu!! U try it too naa... Make a wish for ur happiness to your mother." He asked. "Ishan.. But..." ishan was not ready to listen anything. He insisted on me and I didn't know why my heart had started to hope on his innocent convenience. "Didu close your eyes and pray. Ur prince will surely come." Ishan's little innocent voice said excitedly from the other side of phone. I smiled although in tears. How could I make him understand that every color fairy tale had been wiped off from my burned life. it was colorless now. "Ishan!!" I said in little voice. "Just do it didu..." Ishan forced. I closed my eyes not to disappoint him although I knew nothing would happen. I remembered my momm and pappa's smiling face. "Ready didu... One, Two, Three!!..." Ishan counted from other side and s soon as his counting got finished I heard a heavy footstep hitting the rooftop ground. I opened my eyes with a jerk and turned around. "Kyun didu.. aa gaya naa prince charming." Ishan said from other side and I stood there frozen seeing who was standing in front of me with his irritating expression and shoving away the traces of cements and soil from his cloth.
"Ishan I am calling you later ok. I have something imp to do." I informed him and cut the phone. Raghu lifted his face and looked towards me with his same irritating face. I just froze at the spot for a while couldn't be able to react. My mind asked several questions. Why was he there at that moment? He was not even talking to me or giving any reactions. He was just standing at the spot and gauzing to my face silently. I didn't know it was due to darkness or moonlight effect but his coal black orbs seemed so deep and engrossing at that moment. His irritation was always so horrible to me. But at the moment of silence for the first time his appearance didn't give me any better feeling but it gave me some kind of amusement. A sudden cold wind appeared and ruffled my hair. As I arranged my hair his lips seemed like parted a bit and some different kind of expression appeared in his eyes which was unreadable to me. his hard faucet seemed like a bit tender than before. My heart suddenly thudded loudly for no reason and it made me afraid for unknown reason. I never got such response from my heart. It was seemed like dead at some moment ago. Then why the heck it pounded all of a sudden so loudly.
Raghu's POV...
While I peeped over the wall of rooftop the mighty miss antara kaul was all busy in phone. Miss Kaul!! Hmm.. I never noticed that. It sounds like misscall. A small smirk appeared in my lips as I hooped over the wall and landed on the rooftop. As soon as she heard the sound she snapped back to me. I kept my expression indifferent and cleaned the dusts from my cloth. Saying something in phone she cut the call abruptly while I lifted and again looked towards her. At that moment, as I got to observed her thoroughly my limbs suddenly froze to the spot.
She was standing near the corner keeping her one hand over the rooftop boundary wall. Her big eyes and expression seemed stunned as she was observing me silently. The sleeveless salwar was revealing her some of skin. Silvery moonlight was falling and brushing over her pitch milk colored skin and it seemed like glowing. Her wide hazels looked like two rare black pearls of ocean shining with all its mystery and beauty. I always had to admit that her eyes were beautiful and the most attractive part of her. It was like the direct access to her unknown heart to me. Even in the silence those glowing eyeballs expressed so many words. Her lips which were naturally glossy were looking so haunting in the contrast of silvery light that i had some strange urge to touch them. I couldn't say anything and just kept staring at her. I forgot everything. My mind seemed empty without any thought and was only observing that girl standing at my front. What was happening to me I didn't know. But whatever it was, it felt strangely so integrating. It was not that I didn't observe her before. She was attractive in her own way and I wouldn't deny that. But for the whole time, I never found her to be so beautiful. Was it the effect of moonlight, or something else?! I didn't know. She looked like some illusion, some angel of moon who would vanish at the end of night. Suddenly from nowhere a gust of wind passed through us and her hairs ruffled on her face. lifting her ravishing fingers she slowly removed the hair locks from her face. as the fingers traced on her face I followed each every movement, how it brushed on her chicks, and rounded around her earlobes. I couldn't even blink my eyes. Suddenly something hit loudly under my chest, and I felt it was nothing but my heart pounded very loudly at that moment for some unknown reason.
Her amused hazels suddenly got a bit stiffened. Her expression went hard as a frown appeared in his face. that hard expression brought back my long lost sense. I took a deep long breath looking away from her. Even it seemed so difficult to look away from her face. While I breathed I was so surprised that my lungs were so empty of air. It made me understood that I was not at all breathing all the time while staring at her, or anyone could say that I forgot to breath for that moment. It was really hard to believe that with her appearance, antara really managed to somehow...blew me away. Seepishly scratching my head I again turned back to her. she was still standing at that place clutching the carnies with her palms. Her eyes were moving here and there impatiently and they looked some kind of furious. She looked for me once with her usual hard gaze and suddenly started to move towards the stairs. I remembered that I was there to give back the money to her. "Eee ruk!!" I called for her. She as usual didn't cared and moved in faster pace. Typical she was always. "Abey rukk naa..." I again spoke put in irritation. But still she didn't show any sign to obey me. so with a bitter irritating mode I rushed to her and stopped in front of her blocking her way. As always she threw her hard gaze upon me.
Antara's POV...
I was amused to see that day by day how desperate that raghu was becoming. He trespassed on our territory secretly and he was also daring to stand in front of me blocking my way. I was feeling like slapping that guy at the spot but somehow I managed to control myself. I couldn't lose my patience so soon. And even if I slapped him, I had to touch him, which I never wanted. i didn't even want to step on his damn shadow!!
"Rasta choro!!" I said with harsh voice. "Naii chorta!! Pahele baat sun apun ki." He said stubbornly and I was again amazed to see his arrogance. He didn't know that how much blood I had to evaporate to face him in front of me every day. "Kuch nahin sun naa mujhe. U understand?! Now leave!!" I said loudly. "Eee bazaar bzar banddh kar. Apun koo pata tha mujhe yahan dekh kee tuu tandoor kii tarah garam hoo jayegi. Dekh... khali pili itne raat koo apna dimag satkane nahin ayya apun yahan. Zaroori baat karni thi tujhse iss liye ayya hoon." He stated with a bit calm voice but my head was already boiled up. Couldn't he just give me a single day without his glance? "Zarrori kaam?...Woo bhi mujhse?! Mister, lagta hain tum galat insane kee pass aa gaye hoo!! Tumhare jaise gunde, mawali o kee sath mera kaam too door main unke pass bhi nahin rahena pasand nahin karta!!" I answered back with attitude. I saw the furi rising in his expression as I stated those words. But somehow he controlled himself. He quickly let out a 10 rupees note from his jeans and suddenly grabbed my right palm with his other hand. Startling me he placed the note on my hand. I looked at his irritating eyes with question. "Ruksna nee diye the tujhe wapas karne lee liye. Woo tera auto kaa bhara." As he finished the word leaving my hand I stared to thee 10 rs note oddly. Then again looked back to him with irritation, "Too kaal nahin de sakte the kya?! Itni raat koo yahan choro kee tarah chat pee charne kee ki kya zarurt thi?!" I asked him in harsh voice. "Dekh, adhura kaam aur adhuri baat dono mere koo pasand nahin. Waisey bhi tere jaise yedi kaa paisa apun kee pass jitn kam rahe utna acha hain!" he said making a face. throwing an irritation glance to him I at last proceed to stairs. "Aur haan..." his voice stopped my feet and I moved towards him, "Dekh, shetty kee bhai see tujhe panga nahin lene kaa tha..." he said keeping his hands in his jeans pocket. I frowned towards him but he seemed ignoring as he proceed, "Bahut loche wla admi hain yee shetty. Jaan chirkt hain apne donoo bhai o par. Agar unn tingu- mingu pee ach bhi ayein too pure sahar koo jaala dega woo sanki." I listened silently and his expression became quite harsh, "Aur tune kya kiya haan.. kya zarurat thi TV par uchal uchal kee woo interview dene kii... kya socha tha log tujhe sabashi dega... ghanta hoga... uss takle koo pata chal gaya hain tere barein mein. Chorga nahin woo tujhe." he said in his irritating voice and I was still silence. seeing my silnce he huffed a bit and said, "Iss liye bas itna kahene kaa tha kii railway station see thora door rahena. Shetty kaa bahut bara adda hota hain unn railways kee ass pass. Udhar jayegi naa too zaroor loche mein fasegi!" he advised me. Listening everything quitely I crossed my hands on my chest. "Ohh really.."I uttered, "Abb tumsee mujhe sikhna parega kii kya sahi hain kya galat hain... mujhe kya karna chahiye... kya nahin... wagera wagera. Then sorry I am not interested!" I gave back to him harshly. "Abey tu samjhti kayeko nahin haan?! Tere bhalayi kee liye hii kahe rahi hoon." Raghu answered me instantly as the irritation in his face increased. "kissi nee theka de kee nahin rakha hain tumhe mere bhala sochne kee liye. Mere family kee log hain mera bhala sochne kee liye!" I answered instantly. "Arey pata hain mere koo. Par kya hain naa.. Tu apun kii basti mein raheti hain. Aur idhar sab kaa khayal rakhna meri duty hain. issi liye kahe raha tha kii dekh abhi loche mein mat jaa.. Aoun mai see baaat kar lega iss barein mein. woo shetty koo samhal lengi." As he said those words fire burned in my blood. "JUST SHUT UP!! DON'T EVEN TRY TO SAY ANYTHING FURTHER!" I screamed out of my breath. I was never so mad before at least in front of him. he was somehow startled by my actions. Disgust spread all over my mind and my huge growing anger spoke, "Tum aur tumhari daya mai mere maamlo see dorr raho. Ek baat kaan khol kee sun loo Mr. Kuch bhi hoo jayein main tumhari yaa tunhari daya mai kii madad kabhi nahin loongii. Samjhey tum?! Just make it clear to yur mind." I fingered towards him as his face again started to turn harder from confusion. "Do u know something mr?! Joo log sache hote hain aur humesha sach kaa sath dete hain unke sath kabhi bura nahin hota. mere sath kuch galat nahin hoo sakta. Kyun kii maine joo bhi kaam kiya woo sahi tha, sach tha. Tumhare jaise logon koo bina bajay maar naa, pitna,KHUN KARNA . yee sab fidrat mein nahin hain meri. Aur mujhe unn criminals se bachne kee liye ek dusre criminal kii madad nahin chahiye." As I spit out those words he stood there silent. His eyes were so cold and unreadable all the while. fuming to him, I turned back to head for downstairs. But just at the instant I felt like an iron rod was pressed over my right hands wrist and it pressed me so hard that I almost winced in pain. The pressure was so powerful that it almost broke my bone and tears were about to come out from my eyes. I sucked them up biting my lips as I understood that it was not iron rod which was pressed mercilessly on my hand. It was raghu's ferocious grip. With a jerk that grip made me turn around. The unbreakable grip twitched my hand and pressed upon my lower back giving me more pain. As I got imprisoned in his unbreakable hold I faced a very hard darkened face staring at me. raghu's expression was not just hard, it was mad like hell. His black eyes burning like hell and as if like he was trying to burn me with his gaze! he squeezed my wrist so harshly that the painful sensation almost numbed me. Greeting my teeth I bore the burning sensation and kept my hard gaze to him. he didn't seemed satisfied and twisted my wrist with so much power. Squeezed my eyes and biting my lips I stopped the tears and scream which was about to come out from my mouth. surprisingly he lightened the pressure and just kept a firm grip on my paining wrist. I opened my eyes and looked towards him with disgust. His expression was cold like stone. "Kyun?!! Itne see hii hawa nikaal gayi madam?!" he almost chuckled while saying those words like mocking me. I fumed but didn't said anything. "Arey, apun nee too bas thora saa kalayi masal diya tera. Woo shetty too pura kaa pura tujhe masal dalega agar tuu usskee hath mein ayi." he stated in his cold voice. I just looked away angrily. "Eee.. samjahti kayekoo nahin tu haan?!" his voice seemed a bit frustrated. "Kya lagta hain tujhe?! Bahut mahan kaam kiya hain tune?! Pata hain kitne log loche mein par gaye hain tere liye..." his voice again get loud again, "Jaanti hain... Ruksana kee ammi kii BP bar gayi thi ussey TV pe dekh ke. Shetty see panga lene kaa anjaam kya hota hain yee tujhe naa pata hoo par unhe pata hain." as he informed I felt bad. Ruksana must be worried for her mother. I hoped everythibg was fine. "Tujhe kabhi samajh ayega yee sab. Naah!! Kaise samajh ayega?! Tere khud kee maa baap kii too atta pata nahinn!! Kidhar chor kee aa gayi aur idhar akeli matagasti kar rahi hain..." blood dropped from my face as he said those words. My whole word almost started to swing around me with his words. "tere maa-baap koo too pata bhi nahin naa kii tu idhar kya gul khila rahi hain?! Bare maza kar rahi thi naa office mein uss larke kee sath?! Hnnn?!!" he continued his poisonous blabbers but nothing got into my mind. I could bear his mere presence, his every irritating word around. But that time he hit the weakest point in me. My momma and pappa! I felt powerless, numb and lost all powers from my body. Exhausted, defeated, I looked towards his face with my gloomy, tired eyes. As soon as he noticed my expression his blabber stopped abruptly. I silently watched as he observed me thoroughly, his hardened eyes started to get wide all of a sudden. His cold anger started to change into some shocked expression. I didn't answer as I stared at him silently while my heart bleed inside in infinite pain. My destroyer, the snatcher of my all happiness, the demon of my life raghunath naik, again got succeed to give another deep invisible scratch in my heart. I felt slowly his hand left my wrist and my hand fell down like a lifeless piece. Keeping my broken eyes intact to him, I slowly paced back like a lifeless zombie, driven by some external unknown force. His confused, questioning eyes continued to stare on my face. As I reached at the corner of stairs I turned back and rushed down before my burst came out breaking the wall.
Precap: I was surrounded by so many people. But even I could feel that someone was approaching to me. a cold wave ran down my spine as I waited for my unknown follower to reach me. I clenched my jaw and was determined that even I wouldn't leave easily. What would he do in the mid of all those crowd?! I felt someone standing at my back and I was about to move back but before that two pairs of strong arms wrapped around me and dragged back. I almost hit a very strong, rough physique. My whole feature stiffened as I detected his touch. (God knows how?!) Opening my eyes I snapped back and threw angry glances on him.
