EPISODE 73..
:
Surrounded by the jungle, Antara realised she was lost. She ran as fast as she could inspite of being wounded in her knee and realized that she managed to get away from Rehan and his goons, at least temporarily !! They could reach her soon and she had to plan things fast.. Infact a piece of her capri part had torn out and had fallen out ... She didn't even know when it fell.. She just had ran.. "Oh god !! Meri salwaar ke wajah se woh log mujhe dhoond na le.. Raghu please aa jao.."Antara prayed... She then started heading more forward hoping to get out of the jungle.. Her knee now was bleeding severely.. It was cut in the first place itself and instead of resting it and washing it , Antara had worsened the wound by running... The sight looked pathetic as there was blood all over her knee now..
On the other hand,
Raghu stormed on the road with the jeep which he purchased from the local people. The path which leads to snow valley was surrounding the alpine forest where antara was supposed to be. He lookeed deep inside the jungle and started shouting out Antara's name like a mad person, hoping that she could hear his voice if d him back.somehow she came near to the road. But no one answer. Rghu clutched the steering wheel tightly and drove as fast as he could. His calm eyes were fiery and as well as worried. He didn;t cared about the curvy dangerous hill road and covered the 15 mins path in almost 5 min and stopped when he reached at the vast snow ground at the cliff of large hills.
He ran out from the jeep and started running through the snow ground calling antara's name madly. His loud voice reflected at each and every corner of snow ground. He reached at the corner of snow ground and saw some peoples nearby a bonfire. Raghu asked them if they saw anyone like antara but they all were clueless and answered in no crashing his hope. As those people left the place raghu crashed near the bonfire and looked towards the sky like exhausted, defeated. He started panicking about her safety!! It took a lot time to calm down his own mind and he thought deeply seating at the spot at the side of bonefire, he twitched his neck and looked towards the forest lines just at some distance at the edge of snow ground. If antara followed teh jungle track he was sure that she would reach there, but what if he lost the trail?!!
Suddenly raghu's eyes widened as he saw the glint of some pinkish thing on the forest line. He quickly jumped up on his feet.
Antara stopped for a while as she saw the huge vast snow ground at the front where the forest line ended. So she was put of the forest. She stood for a while to decide what to do?!! she looked back to the forest and she knew that rehan's me were still searching for her in that forest, so there was no chance to go back there. She decided to move forward. She had no energy to run and her knee ached badly !! She winced in pain and crushed on the snow ground. Her feet couldn't take that anymore!! hot tears stremed down her swollen chicks.
"Abhi tak nahi dhoondha mujhe.. Dhong karte the na tum?? Saath nahi chodunga.. Jab tumhaari itni zyaada mujhe zaroorat hain to tum mere saath kyun nahi ho...?"said Antara out loud in her frustration.
"Raghunath Naik apna vaada nahi todta Miss Kaul". Antara couldn't believe her ears when the voice hit her ear...Was it actually him. She lifted her eyes and just at some distance near a camp fire, there he stood. His savior, his protector his everything. "Raghu!!" Her teary eyes gleamed with happiness and she smiled after so many edges. She stood up and Raghu stretched his arms calling her. She ignored her pain in the knee and ran into his arms .. That's where she belonged and she wasn't there from such a long time.. He tightened his embrace around her and just hugged her.. He then broke the hug and the first thing he noticed was her knees. He looked towards antara with a bit angry face.
"Kitni chot lagi hain tujhe.. Teri Khabar toh main baadme loonga .. Tujhe abhi kaaphi daat sunne padegi mujhse..Patah hain kitni takleef mein main in dino tha.. Tera bina zinda laash tha.. Patah bhi nahi tha ki tu ki haal mein hain.. Bas apne bappa pe bharosa tha...Aur tu , itni laaparwaah kaise ho sakti hain... Itni khudgarz.. Tujhe kitni baar bola hain ki apna dhyaan rakha kar.. Pehle bhi Rehan ne tujhe maarne ki koshish ki thi.. Uske baad toh tujhe zara saa savdhaan rehna chahiye tha... Par nahi, tu toh dheet hain !! Mujhse door jaana aur mujhe aise tadpaana accha lagta hain na tujhe"... "Tumhe kya lagta hain, ki sirf tumhaari haalat kharaab thi.. Raghu, tumse door reh kar main paagal ho gayi thi.. Samajh nahi aa raha tha ki tum kaise hoge.. Tumhe kya lagta hain, ki main tumse saccha pyaar nahi karti?? Agar aisa lagta hain toh tum bevkoof hain... Yeh samajh lo Mr.Raghunath Naik ki Antara se zyaada tumhe koi pyaar nahi kar sakta hain... Koi bhi nahi.. Chale aaye mujhe daatne"Antara said all in one breath... After a moment , she then realized what she said and Raghu was left speechless..
