-Episode 35-
With a lot of concern, Antara stepped into the cell where she found her angel lying down on a dirty slab caged like an unfortunate bird.. The sound of the gate opening made Raghu open his eyes. To his surprise , he saw Antara, his Antara there ! Her eyes looked pretty swollen due to excessive crying and that made Raghu's heart ache badly. "Idhar kyun aayi hain Miss Kaul?"Raghu asked in his deep intense voice. "Main idhar kyun aayi ? Tum mujhse kaisa sawaal poonch rahe ho. Yeh kya haal ban gaya hain tumhaara?"said Antara sobbing.. She broke down immediately seeing her angel in a miserable state. Raghu, wanting to embrace her immediately, tried to get up from his lying position, but in vain, his arm hurted him badly and he winced in pain. Seeing this, Antara immediately rushed to him and held his hand. She nodded her head with painful tears in her eyes telling him not to get up.. She was looking at his wounded hand which pinched her like thorns. She couldn't bear it !! His pain was affecting her more than him. "Agar isse kuch ho jaata toh main kya karti? Yeh mujhse door ho jaata toh main kya karti?"thought a fearful Antara. She was terrified of the fact that she could have lost Raghu . She lay on Raghu who was lying down on the slab embracing him . "Mujhe tumne sahi salaamat rakha aur khud ko zakhmi kar liya. Kyun?Kyun itna kuch kar rahe ho mere liye ?"Antara sobbed. Raghu didn't respond to her question. He carressed her back soothing her pain caused due to her mental trauma. He then carressed her hair and tucked it behind her ear. He then couldn't resist himself. He gently placed his lips on her forehead igniting the fire of passion between them. She closed her eyes as she was being dominated by her emotions.. For that prolonged moment, Raghu and Antara forgot where they were.They forgot about the cruel world. She atlast lifted her forehead and looked at him. "Agar tumhe kuch ho jaata na ,toh main mar jaati"said Antara. Raghu on hearing her words, immediately place his finger on her lips giving her butterflies in her stomach. "Aisa galti se bhi kabhi mat bolna.. Tujhe kuch nahi hoga kyunki main hameshaa tere saath rahoonga. Tera saaya ban kar rahoonga. Teri parchaayi , jo kabhi tera saath nahi chodegi"said Raghu . Antara was left speechless by his words. She felt as if she got what she wanted. She then saw the symbol of the dragon on his arm and asked him "Tum hi toh the na, jisne mere papa ki jaan bachaayi. Mere angel tum hi ho na?"she asked. He couldn't deny this now !! He knew that his identity was revealed.. He smiled and nodded his head. "Par tumne mere papa ki jaan kyun bachaayi? Tumhe kaise pata tha ki bomb blast hone waala hain?"asked Antara. "Woh bomblast uss ghatiya aurat ne karwaaya tha.. Dayamayi ! Uski aur meri bahut poorani dushmani hain. Sirf ussse nahi , mujhe uske poore pariwaar se dushmani hain. Woh S**li ne m-meri maa ko maar daala. Maasi banke meri poori zindagi barbaad kar di thi usne. Phir maine thaan li , ki main usse nahi chodoonga. Uska har ek plan main barbaad kar doonga. Woh kya bolte hain -criminal hain ! Main nahi chahta ki woh kisi aur masoom pariwaar ko barbaad kar de"said Raghu. Antara was shocked listening to his words. Raghu had gone through so much !! "Toh kya tumne meri madad sirf isliye ki kyunki tum dayamayi ke plan ko spoil karna chahte the?"asked Antara innocently. Raghu smiled at her question. "Tujhe kya lagta hain.. Main dayamayi ke plan ko spoil karna chahta tha , par teri madad maine... Tujhe shaayad andaaza bhi nahi hain ki tu mere liye kya hain. Apni jaan se zyaada teri parwaah karta hoon."said Raghu making her shocked. She wasnt understanding what was going on.. She had found a man other than her father who loved her more than his life.. "Kyun nahi bola ki tum mere angel ho?"said Raghu. "Angel? Main koi angel nahi hoon.. Angel toh swarg mein rehte hain na, Insaano se door !! Par main toh tere paas rehna chahta hoon. Itna paas ki hamaare beech mein hawaa bhi na aa sake ! Har kadam tera saath dena chahta hoon.Tujhse door nahi!"said Raghu. Antara again was left amused and speechless by his words. "Kaise main tumhaara ehsaan chuka paoongi?"asked Antara. "Chuka sakti hain. Tujhse tera dil maang raha hoon, de payegi?"asked Raghu making her go numb.. Before she could reply the but the police constable came to interrupt them. "Madam aap ka time khatam ho gaya ". "Jao Miss Kaul,Main nahi chahta ki tum inn sab mein fas jao.."said Raghu. Antara nodded in refusal.. "Miss Kaul, jail se baahar nikalne ke baad tumse baat karoonga.Promise"said Raghu . Antara hesitantly stood up and said "Khyaal rakhna apna.. Mujhe mera angel mere paas chahiye"said Antara leaving a smile on Raghu's face. Reluctantly, she stepped out of the cell looking at him with teary eyes
