EPISODE 43
It was another day in the chirpy n lively Naik basti. Slowly by slowly d silence vanished n could here d noises of the people of the basti. All the people's voices got mixed up in the chaos of the basti n it was no longer silent as it was abt an hour ago bt only 1 house in d basti had silence spread all over. It was d biggest house in the basti. Yes, it was d Daymanti Bhavan. Bt silence was nt expected in a place wher a bubbly n chui-mui girl now lives. What mst hav happned 2 her? Noor appa n Ishaan went inside Antara's room. Their eyes widened n jaw dropped as they saw Antara angrily throwing her clothes on d bed, which fell less on d bed n more all over d place. They both stood ther choosing 2 b silent. It was better for them not to utter evn a single word at that tym. Evn if they interupted they would b washed by a giant wave of hot lava which came at full speed from antara's side. They tip-toed n wer abt 2 leave d room when they heard antara grumbling n cursing sum1. They stopped at that place n tried 2 listen widout letting her kno dat they r present. "yeda hai woh! Samajta kya hai aapne aap ko? Shaktimaan hai kya?" She pouted angrily. "Kya lagta hai ussey? Main koi bacchi hu kya?" She again anrily threw her clothes on d bed. "Main akele kuch nahi kar sakti??!!... dikha doongi uss Yede ko... Main Antara Kaul hu! Joh chaahe woh kar sakti hu... kissiki zaroorat nahi hai mhujhe!" She continued 2 say angry words and continued 2 arrange clothes inside hr bag. Ishaan slowly wispered into appa's ear, "appa.. didu pressur cooker ki tarah garah kyu ho rahi hai" Ishaan asked "shuu... zyada baat mat karo warna yeh pressur cooker humpe aapni gharma gharam seeti bajayegi!"
Antara threw the clothes again n that time Dr.Kaul directly walked inside her room widout noticing hiding Ishaan n noor. He was abt 2 greet Antara when Antara's duppatta came flying frm inside n fell on his face covering his whole face. Dr.Kaul got startled n a gasp escaped his mouth. Antara heard sum1 n she turned around 2 see Dr.Kaul wid her duppatta on his face struggling 2 get out of it. She ran towards him r removed d duppatta. Antara looked down n apologised 2 her papa. Dr.Kaul b4 evn saying sumthing analysed d situation n her mood. He looked around n at her red face n understood dat d air inside was really heated up. He moved inside wid a smile n sat on d couch indicating Antara 2 cum n sit nxt 2 him. Dr.Kaul calmly asked her d cause of her anger. Antara said dat Raghu is vry rude n said dat she couldn't do anything widout him. Dr.Kaul kept listening 2 her wid a broad smile on his face. Finally Antara said dat she was not going 2 Kashmir wid Raghu n dats her final decision. Dr.Kaul still tried 2 convince her, "beta, it's not safe 4 u 2 go alone, it's best 2 take sum1 wid u who'll profect u n make u feel safe n who can do it better den Raghu?" Bt Antara was stubborn n denied 2 listen. Atlast Dr.Kaul said a bit rudely, "Antara bohot ho gaya, tum agar Kashmir jaogi toh Raghu ke saath hi jaogi nahi toh main tumhe Kashmir jaane hi nahi doonga." Antara kept mum n looked away. She couln't back answer her father nor go against his decision. She angrily grabbed her handbag n left for Office. While she was going outside her eyes fell on Raghu's balcony and saw him packing his stuff. She was amused a bit while Raghu looked at her with a smirk. Antara looked away angrily. Raghu was enjoying her reaction so he decided 2 tease her a bit n said, " Apun ke bagair tu Kashmir jaa nahi sakti aur waise bhi apun tujhe akele jaane bhi nahi dega". Raghu's words acted as a fuel 2 Antara's anger n she stormed 2wards Raghu.
Antara- Mr.RaghuNath Naik tum joh chaho bak sakte ho par ek baat sun lo main Kashmir zaroor jaungi aur woh bhi tumhare bagair! Samjhe?
Raghu- ha...yeh kehkar aapne aap ko tassalli deti reh, tere liye deemaf aacha hai.
Antara- tassalli? Nahi Raghu tassalli toh tum dene aapne aap ko! ke tum Kashmir mere saath jaoge.
Raghu (smirking)- bol bol bolti reh... waise bhi poore Kashmir ka safar apun ko tere saath ki katna hai, teri bak-bak ki aadat ho jaane de...aare bol na!
Antara (miffed)- tumse baat hi karna bekar hai! Waise bhi yede logo se baat karke mein main apna time waste kyu kar rahi hu, im getting late so BYE!!!
Saying this she marched 2wards d main gate. Raghu grabbed his jeep keys n ran behind her.
"Oye yedi sunn na.." Raghu said holding her hand. She gav an angry glare looking at her hand. Raghu immediatly left her hand.
Raghu- woh.. dair ho reli hai toh apun tereko office chodta hai na.
Antara- tumhe mhuje kahi chodne ki zaroorat nahi hai. It's none of ur business. Mere kaam mein taang adana baand karo!
Raghu- business ho ya vyapaar tere har kaam mein taang adana apun ka haq hai. Aur chup chap jeep mein bait. Office pohochne mein late hi gayi aur teri boss naraz hogayi toh?? Kaam se nikal diya toh? Teri jaise tedi Yedi ko phir se kaam milna bohot mushkil ho jayega na... aur phir se apun ko teri madat karni padegi!
Antara- waise aana toh nahi chahti par sirf aur sirf office late na pohoch ne ke liye lift le rahi hu. Waise tumhari madat ki koi...
Raghu- ha ha... aapna bhashan baad mein sunna aab chal bait jeep mein.
Antara was still angry n still had dat angry red face. She quietly sat next 2 Raghu cursing him in his mind as it was no use 2 shout at him on his face as this plan always backfires her n she gets herself embaressed.
Raghu drove fast n they reached her office on time. Antara got down n widout saying anything started walking towards d building.
Raghu- oye Ms.Kaul mann mein mhuje ittni galliyaa maar di, ek rooka sookha 'thank you' toh bolti jaa Main usse hi kaam chala lunga.
Antara (thinking)- issey kaise pata chala? Bohot zoor se sooch rahi thi kya? Shut up! Zoor se koi sochta hai kya? You've lost it!!!
Antara shook her head, trying 2 loose d thoughts
Ad OptionsRaghu- oye Ms.Kaul yeh soch soch ke sir hilaana bandh kar aur andar jaa.
Antara (startled)- haa...jaati hu..
She turned around n started walking bt unconciously again glaned behind 2 see Raghu smiling at her. She also automatically got a broad smile on her face n loudly said 'Thank you'. As loud as evry1 could hear her. N she ran inside d building.
Raghu ruffled his hand thru his hair n his grin widened. He happily drove s off to meet sum dealers with whom he had meeting.
In d office Antara had a normal day bt at d end she went into her boss's office wid d leave application. Her boss was a bubbly lady who always appreciated her work. Her name was Sheetal Sawant. She liked her n considered Antara as 1 of her gud friends. When Antara formally gav her d leave applicated she accepted it bt as a friend asked her a million questions bt Antara jst told her dat she was going 2 Kashmir for sum urgent family work. She would return back soon as soon as she finished her work ther. Sheetal suddenly became very excited n gave her an offer.
Sheetal- Antara tu Kashmir jaa rahi hai...Lucky you! By d way...can u do me a favour???
Sheetal said wid a maaska maring smile of her's. Antara hesitantly asked her wat she wanted n Sheetal exploded.
Sheetal- Antara meri Maa ko aaj raat Jammu jaana hai, Vaishnodevi darshan ke liye. Waise meri beti jaane wali thi par woh bimaar hai. Aur aab mujhe jaana hoga (she said with darkness on her face) Main nahi jaa sakti, itna kaam hai, beti ko sambhalna hai, presentation karni hai...
Antara agar...agar tu unke saath chali jaye toh hum dono ka kaam ho jayega. Waise bhi tu unke saath hogi toh mhuje koi tension bhi nahi hoga aur tujhe koi ticket ki jhanjat bhi nahi hogi. Tu unhe Jammu utaar dena aur phir whan se Shrinagar chali jana bus yaa train pakar ke.. chali jaana. Plz Antara dont say no. I'll fall into trouble if u deny.
At first Antara was a bit heaitant bt later it struck that this was d golden opportunity for her 2 leave Raghu behind n go 2 Kashmir alone. She agreed n Sheetal told her dat d train was in d evening. She told Antara to go back home, start packing n get ready. She'll meet her mother directly at d railway station. Antara quickly moved back 2 d basti. She went up d daymanti bhavan n saw dat papa n mamaji wer not at home. Mamiji, noor appa n others wer taking a nap after having food. She allready saw that raghu was not in her balcpny also his jeep was not there. that mean he was not in home. Ahh relief. Evn Raghu's men n servants wer not around. She ran into her room grabbed her bag which she had already packed n also took d PD n without disturbing any1 she rushed outside d house leaving a note 4 hr family dat she's leaving 4 Kashmir. She happily sat in d taxi n rode 2 d railway station. Antara was over-joyed n contented dat finally she's going 2 Kashmir leaving Raghu here wher he's safe. She felt dat evn God helped her in this. She could quietly sneek out of the house or else they would nevr allow her. She thanked bappa for perfectly planning her escape frm her family n Raghu. Now she only had 2 meet Sheetal's mom n go. With all the happiness she could not notice Pakiya who was appointed 2 keep an eye on her. She kept imforming Raghu abt her actions.
Antara met Sheetal with her mother at the railway station. She gav her tickets n also sum stuff essential for the journey. Sheetal wished them a safe journey n rushed back 2 the office. Antara was sitting in an AC couch n Sheetal's mom's coach was right next 2 her's. She was arranging her luggage n shifting it in the topmost racks. She was having difficulty lifting a heavy bag n d bag was abt 2 escape her hands n fall on her head when two strong hand caught d bag n single handedly placed it above. She had closed her eyes tightly, she got d aroma of sum1 familiar, she felt his presence n felt like sum1 really close 2 her bt when she realised dat the bag was kept safely she slowly opened her eyes 2 thank the person. To her surprise she saw Raghu infront of her eyes!
