Episode 50

It was 9:45 in the morning and Rantara were still sleeping. Due to all the travelling and tiredness they were catching on some sleep. Raghu and Antara were sleeping peacefully in each other's arm. Raghu had enveloped her and rested his hand on her belly while Antara was placing her hand on his. God knows how they ended up in that position! Antara gently opened her eyes still half-asleep. "Bahut neend aa rahi hain. Agar zyaada late nahi huya hoga toh I'll sleep for some more time "thought a sleepy Antara. She was so sleepy that she didn't realize that Raghu was completely embracing her. She checked her cell-phone placed right next to her and shot her eyes wide open. "hey bhagwan ji!!! 10 baj rahe hain!!" she thought and was about to jump out from the bed when she felt the huge weight placed on her tummy. She then realized the position she was in. Raghu had placed his hand on her stomach making her speechless. "Hey bhagwan ji... yee kaise ho gya?!!" thought a startled Antara gasping loud. She felt raghu;s warm breath in her neck which chocked her own breath. She flushed and quickly took his hand and tried to remove it from her. In the process, Raghu even in his sleepy state groaned a little and tightened his grip around her causing her to crush on his hard chest. she breathed so loud for a moment in anticipation and looked at the front with wide eyes. As she took heavy breath, her anticipation saturated slowly. For a moment, Antara closed her eyes and felt his touch. It gave her goosebumps but it also gave her another feeling. A feeling which she could never describe.. She wanted to be in that position, secured in his arms but...No what was she thinking. Why was she starting to want his proximity?? She couldn't even think of getting close to him in that way. What was wrong with her?? She immediately started making her attempts to free herself and finally after various attempts she succeeded. She silently stepped out of the bed and looked towards sleeping Raghu. He looked so innocent that she couldn't stop himself admiring his face. She never observed him so thoroughly. He was handsome in his own way with that rough and tough look and also so innocent touch. "Sote huye ye kitna masoom lagta hain.. aur bahut pyara bhi lag raha hain!!" Antara thought as a beautiful smile crept on her face. She moved towards him and gently caressed his hair and ruffled them. A deep breath escaped from his chest and brushed on antara's hand. Antara quickly backed off thinking that he was awake. But observing raghu's sleeping face thoroughly she understood that she was still sleeping. She gave a warm smile looking at his innocent sleeping face for the last time and grabbed her towel and went to take a shower.. She came out within fifteen minutes dressed in a red anarkali. She looked gorgeous and fresh!! Her wet hair was just enhancing her beauty. She saw Raghu still sleeping peacefully on the same position. "Das baj ke pandrah minute ho gaye hain ,aur yeh yeda abhi bhi soh raha hain" she thought smiling. She suddenly got into the mode of mischief and went towards the bed. She shook her hairs gently and the droplets sprinkled on raghu's face. Raghu squeezed his eyes in slight irritation and his hand moved automatically to his chicks. Feeling the moist in her hand he woke up and the first person he sees is a laughing Antara. For a minute he forgot to breath. She looked breathtakingly beautiful. Raghu felt like it was the best morning for him till now. He was just lost in her beauty when she broke his trance by saying "Good Morning!!" with a smiling face. "Miss Kaul, yeh kya tareeka huya kisi sote huye insaan ko uthaane ka?"said Raghu brushing away the droplets from his face with a frown. "Yeh apun ka style hain. Bole toh , apun har ek cheez ek naye andaaz ke saath karti hain.."said a Antara smiling. "Hmm.. Apun ki nakal.." Raghu said giving a smirk to her. Antara just smiled and got up. "Abhi uth jao. Hum bahut latee ho gaye hain 10:15 ho gaye hain already!!" said Antara hurrying him. "Haan apun too das baje se pahele uth ta hi naii...Par tujhe toh aadat hain na paanch baje uthne ki. Tu toh subah subah office bhi jaati hain. Phir aaj itna late kaise ho gaya?!" Raghu asked with a slight frown. "Pata nahin... sayad kaal bahut thak gayi thi.. iss liye aaj jyada hi soo gayi!!"said Antara. "Thakawat hnn!! Ya phir tu apun ke sath soyi huyi thi iss liye uthne ka mann hi nahi kar raha tha?!!"said Raghu slowly. "Kuch kaha tumne?"she asked. "Nahi. Tere hamesha kaan bajte rehte hain. Jab dekho poochti rehti ,Kuch kaha tumne??"said Raghu mockingly. "Arre,mujhe sacch mein laga ki tumne kuch kaha.."said Antara. "Hmm.. Apun ki awaaz ki itni aadat ho gayi hain tujhe..."said Raghu. "Daalni bhi padegi, kyunki aage chalke.."said Antara and suddenly stopped. Thank god she didn't continue. "Aage chalke?"Raghu said. "Aage chalke, pure trip mein tumhara bakbak jo sun na hain mujhe!!"said Antara making a face. "Achaa !! Too kaanpatti pahen lee naa... apun ki awaz sun ni bhi nahin paregi!! "said Raghu answering back with same attitude."Raghu!!" Antara sighed "Ek baat sach kahoon... mujhe tumhare awaz se koi problem nahin hain.. par tum joo yee mooh bana ke khit khit karte rahete hoo naa wo hi mujhe acha nahin lagta...Agar ussey chor doo too pata hain...nahin chorro... kya fayda bata ke.. tum meri mazak banaoge!!" Antara controlled herself with a sigh. "Arey yaar ab bata de... pet mein jyada der baat rahene se pet kharap ho jata hain... waisey bhi mere koo pata hain tu meri tareef too nahin karne wali..." raghu said making a face. Antara sighed, "Tum bhi naa... main too yee kahena chahti thi ki mujhe tumhari awaz bahut pasand hain!!.." she said all of a sudden making him startled. Raghu snapped back to her face immediately with shocked expression. "Kya kahan tune?!!" he looked towards her with unbelievable eyes. "Aise kyun dekh rahe hoo.. sach kahe rahi hoon.. mujhe jhoothi tareef karna atta bhi nahin..mujhe sach mein tumhari awaz bahut achi lagti hain..bahut gaheri awaz hain tumhara... rooh koo choo jati hain... jab bhi sun ti hoon naa... bahut sukkon milta hain! bilkul tumhare mouth organ ke dhoon ki tarah.." She had a huge innocent grin on her face while she said those words. She didn't even know what she had done to the poor soul seating at her front. Raghu was facing his most mad and uneven violent heartbeat at that time. He couldn't express the storm going inside him. he just continued to look at her silently, with intense eyes. "Chalo ab jaldi se fresh ho ke aa jao. Hume Cornel Ranawat ke bhi ghar jaana hain na..."said Antara. He just nodded and stood up silently. Antara concentrated on dying her hairs. Raghu's eyes dangerously followed the droplets caressing down the groove of her neck thoroughly all over till it went inside the cover of her cloth. Antara threw her wet towel over rack and his eyes fell on that. He gave a quick glance to antara who was near the dressing table combing her hairs and secretly grabbed the towel with him to the wash room. He closed the door and smelled the towel which still contained exotic aroma of Antara. He smelled it heavily. He knew he couldn't touch her and express his love fully to her so he just expressed himself the most when he was alone... He quickly took his bath and both of them headed towards Cornel Ranawat's home. It was a huge house and they were about to enter when the security stopped him. "Aap kaun?"said the watchmen. "Jee main Antara. Dr.Kaul ki beti. Cornel Ranawat hamaare family friend hain"said Antara. "Oh Dr.Kaul ki beti.. Accha... Par sahab toh ghar par nahi hain.."said the watchmen. "KYA????"both Rantara said in shock. "Haan, woh toh sheher se bahar gaye huye hain. Teen hafte baat lautenge"said the watchmen. "3 weeks. You gotta be kidding me?"said Antara. "Haan yeh kid karna band karo yaar!!"said Raghu. The watchmen looked at them confused. "raghu!! main baat karti hoon naa.." antara said trying to stop his high standard english. "too baat kar naa..teri zuban hain..mere koo kya?!!" raghu said making a face. Antara shook her head in annoyance and moved towards watchman."Woo mujhe aap se kuch puchna tha.. Papa ke paas unka puraana number hain. Unka shaayad koi number change huya tha. Aapke paas unka new number hain"said Antara. "Ek kaam kijiye, aap apna number dedo. Main unko bata doonga"said the watchmen. Giving her number she left with Raghu. "Arre... Yeh toh locha ho gaya"said Raghu. "Locha?!! Sab garbar ho gaya!!" antara said in irritation "Woh teen hafte baad aayenge!! Tab tak hum kaha rahenge. Hamara hotel room bhi too aaj 12 baje tak hi book tha...abb hum kahan rukengey?? Baaki saare hotels bhi full hain!!..Kya karenge hum?!!"said a worried Antara. "Shaanti Miss Kaul Shaanti.. Thand rakh.. Kuch na kuch kar lenge"said Raghu. Antara still didn't seem convinced. They reached on the hotel when raghu saw two girls rushing towards them with al angry face. he got startled and asked, "ee miss kaul!! woo larkiyan apun login ki taraf aise aag babula hoo kee kyun aa re la hain?!!" antara didn't notice them as she was hell worried about the situation. As soon as she saw those girls her eyes widened. A huge smile crept on her face and she rushed towards them stretching her hand like a bird, startling raghu more. Before those girls could burst on antara's head she hugged both of them tightly. "OMG !! WHAT ARE YOU BOTH DOING HERE?"said Antara with wide eyes. "We have come to kill you and dance at you funeral"said one of the girls. Both of the girls seemed very angry. Antara was so happy to meet her pagal buddies after long. "Nargis, Komal ... Do you even know how much I missed you?"said Antara with chrippy voice. "Yes I know .. You missed us 0.02% .. Or maybe even less.."said Nargis. "Aisa kyun bol rahi hain...?"asked Antara. "Kashmir aayi aur hame bataya bhi nahi.. Woh toh accha huya ki humne tere Mumbai waale ghar par phone kiya.. Dr.Kaul ne bataya ki tu Kashmir aayi huyi hain...Warna shaayad hum tujhse mil hi nahi paati... Main aur nargis hii too hain doo pagal... kaal humein khabar mila kit um kahsmir ayi hoo too aaj subha sab kuch chor char ke hum dono kashmri ki sare hotels mein ghum rahein hain bas tumhe dhoond ne... do u know that?!!"said Komal making an angry face. "Arre pagli. Main idhar ek zaroori kaam se aayi huyi hoon. Sab kuch itna jaldi huya ki bataane ka wakt hi nahi mila..Main tum logo se milne waali hi thi. I was going to knock on your door after I would complete my tasks" said Antara. "Ok.. I forgive you for now, but if you do it again naa.."said Nargis smiling. The trio hugged once again. Raghu was watching all of this and admiring their bond. "Raghu , idhar aao na.. Inse milo.Yeh hain.."said Antara. "Yeh Nargis aur Komal hain"said Raghu completing her sentence. "Tumhe kaise patah?"said Raghu. "Hmm.. tujhe khud nahi patah ki teri bak -bak express main kitna sunta hoon "said Raghu. "Hi"both Nargis and Komal said. Raghu smiled. "Yeh tumhaare saath tumhaara task complete karne aaya hain?"asked Komal. "Haan.."said Antara. "Mujhe patah hain kaunsa task. "said Nargis laughing. "What do you mean?!" antara asked. "well a boy and a girl all alone in a romantic place like shrinagar and it's enough to understand for both of us that what could be their task together... "Shut up okk! Just tone down your loud imagination a bit!! it's nothing like that u both were thinking off." Thank god he doesn't understand English!!"said Antara glancing towards raghu. Raghu was just staring at all of them trying to decode the code.. "Accha, ab tu kab tak is hotel mein rahegi?"asked Nargis. "Arre wahi toh problem hain. We have this hotel today at sharp 12. Baaki saare hotels toh booked hain. mujhe samajh nahi aa raha hain ki main kahan jaoon!!"said Antara. "Tu Paagal hain antu?! Humare rahete huye tujhe kis baat ki fikar?!! Humare ghar chalna..." said an excited komal. "nahin komal... I don't wanna bother uncle aunty!!" antara said. "Komal you forgot?!!. Our miss adarshwadi antara would never get agreed to take anyone's favor!!" nargis giggled from side. "Uska bhi solution mere pass hain!!" said komaal "antu tuu bhool gayi?! Mere papa ka khood ka ek House boat hain Daal lake mein. Wahan too rehene mein koi dikkat nahin naa?"said Komal. "kya, house boat?!!" antara was startled a bit. "haan antara... do rooms hain ... abhi tak book nahin huya...pura khali hain... aram se rahe sakte hoo tum dono wahan..." komal said. "kya pura khali hain?!!" antara gulped a bit and glanced towards raghu. She and raaghu!! All alone in a houseboat! She didn't know why she felt some tight knot at her stomach as the mere thought hitched her breath.
