The entire tulip garden had been filled with their smiles and laughter... An old couple had been sitting in one of the benches of the garden admiring them.. "Kitni masoomiyat hain inn dono mein"said the old lady. "Haan woh toh hain.. Bachon ki tarah khel rahe hain.. "said the old man.. "Mujhe hamaare din yaad aa gaye..."said the lady smiling indicating that she knew that Rantara were in love with each other..Time passed by and both Raghu and Antara were on their way back to the houseboat.. Suddenly Antara found her phone ringing. "Hello?"she said. "Hey babe, come over right now.. Its an emergency"said Nargis on the other line. "What ? Why?"said Antara... "Sawaal mat poonch. Just come here..."said Nargis.. "Hmm.. alright ...Raghu ko bhi saat lekar aati hoon " she said. On the other hand Raghu is like "Apun kahi nahi jaa raha hain Miss Kaul. Mujhe toh bahut neend aa re la hain. Apun ko house boat jaa ke lamba ho ke sona hain"he said yawning.. "Arre.. Par tum aise akele .. house boat mein"said Antara. "Mere koo bas sona hain. Apun thak gaya tere peenche peeche poore garden mein race lagate..Par koi baat nahi, tu jaa."Raghu said. Antara argued but finally had to agree. Nargis, who was listening to all of this on the phone was smiling. "Theek hain main aata hoon..."said Antara pouting in anger. "Driver.. Gaadi ghumaaon..."said Antara indicating him to take her to Nargis home..When they reached her doorstep, Antara still insisted on Raghu to come along with her. "Arre yaar apunkya karega tum ladkiyon ke beech? Terelarkiyon wali chapar chapar sunte sunte apun udharich soh jayega... Apun houseboat chalta hain Miss Kaul, bahut nind aa re laa hain... Aur kuch der ho gaaya too yahin lurak jayega!!"said Raghu. "Theek hain. Tum kaunsa meri sunoge !"said Antara. "Chal.. Jaldi ghar aa jaana.."said Raghu. Saying this the driver took him towards the house-boat and Antara knocked at Nargis's door. "Hey birthday girl !"said Nargis. "Hmm.. woh sab toh theek hain par kya emergency thi..?"said Antara. "Arre yaar. Aaj meri ek cute ladke ke saath date hain .. Aur mujhe nahi patah ki main kya pehnu.."said Nargis. "Offo !! Yeh ladki bhi na.. Toh isme main kya karu?"said Antara. "Excuse me? Ur my best friend. Tujhe toh har ek dress try karke dekhni hain and show me how it looks. Coz if it suits you it will suit me.."said Nargis. "What?? U've lost ur brains.. U should be the one trying the dresses not me.."said Antara. "I will also try the dresses .. But the point is that I have so many dresses and I cant select even one. I will try some dresses and you also simulataneously try the dresses. If I like what ur wearing I'll wear it too..."said Nargis all in one breath. "But that doesn't make any sense yaar.. How dumb and lame !"said Antara. "Oye !! I need to look good on my date. So iss ke liye I will do anything !!Including making you a model.."said Nargis. Antara first wore a yellow anarkali and looked breathtakingly beautiful. "Hmm.. Bahut sundar lag rahi hain but I want something sexy. Something exposing and stuff"said Nargis with a wicked smile. "Hey bhagwaan! Yeh ladki bhi na.."said Antara. Nargis made Antara forcefully wear a backless and sleeveless red coloured anarkali suit with silver border. The dress were clinging to her petite figure and revealing all her perfect curves. The soft skin of her neck and throat was totally revealed. Antara;s jaw drooped looking at the dress/ "Mujhe yeh kyun pehna rahi ho.. Tumhe pehna hain toh pehno na.."said a slightly embarsed Antara.. "My god Antara !! You look hot"said Nargis. Seeing antara in that dress. She was no doubt looking breathtakingly beautiful.
"Poor soul raghu.. he is surely gonna faint today!!" Nargis said in her mind smiling secretly. Suddenly Antara's phone started ringing.. It was Raghu's phone call. "Hello?"she said. "Antara, tu wapas aa jaa naa.. Sir mein bahut dard ho raha hain.. Bahut dukh raha hain.. Teri zaroorat hain."said Raghu .. "What??Main abhi aa rahi hoon"said Antara worryingly. "Nargis meri salwar kidhar hain?!!" Antara said hurriedly searching for her suit. Nargis already told everything to their house made Zarina. "Arety yahin too thi.. tere kapre ke pass..." antara said worriedly. "Arey sayad Zarina khala le gayi hogi. Ruk main bulati hoon..Khala..." Nargis said and called out for Zarina and she was ready. "Kya huya Beta?!!" zarina asked. "Khala kya aapne wahan se kapre uthaye the?!! uss mein se koi green salwar tha?!!" Nargis asked. "Haan tha too... par woo too maine dho diye.." Zarina said. "Kyaa?!!" Antara's jaw drooped. "Haan... balcony mein sukhne ke liye rakhe hain dekh ke aao.." Zarina said. "Ohh god!!" Antara pounced. She went towards the balcony and saw her dress drenched all in water. She was almost about to cry. "Ab main kya karoon.. kya pahen ke jaaon?!!" she said. "Arey joo paheni huyi hain issey hi pahen kee chali jaa naa..." nargis said. "Kya??!! yee dress.." Antara looked down and looked at the red sexy stylist anarkali. she never went in front of raghu in that dress. "Haan yaar... teri dress bhag too nahin rahi hain... sukh jayengey too tere pass bhej dongi.." Nargis said. "par nargis..." Antara was still so reluctant. "Jaldi kar... pata nahin Raghu kaisa hoga.." Nargis said. The thought of raghu made her worried so without any further convo She rushed outside while Nargis gave her a lift in their car .. "Tumhaare chakar mein main Raghu ko akela chodke aa gayi . ..Upar se Im going in this uncomfortable dress"Antara said while Nargis secretly smiled. "Hey , your acting as if you never wore this kinds of attire.College ke time mein toh pehnti thi"said Nargis smiling. "Woh time alag tha Nargis. Tab Raghu nahi tha..."said Antara. "What do you mean?"said Nargis. Antara bit her tongue. She didn't respond as she didn't know why she said that.
Soon, Antara and Nargis reached the house boat and Antara ran inside the houseboat as fast as she could. She found all the lights off. Only a cndle was lit up at the middle which was clearing a little view "Raghu !!! Kaha ho tum??"she said. Her voice cracked. She was getting hell scared as Raghu wasn't nearby. Soon, she felt a deep gasp behind her. She couldn't see him but his presence was enough for her. she moved behind and faced a baby brown gaze looking towards her with most amusing and shocked expression. Antara almost cringed by the intensity of that eyes. his eyes moving from her head to toe like she was something she never saw. He changed his dresses and wearing red shirt with brown leather jacket with navy jeans. she wandered why he put the get up like that but obviously, he was looking handsome. But his intense killer gaze was giving her goosebumps and making her chicks red. Raghu was literally shocked and dumb when he saw antara in that dress. In that small light of candle she was looking like some heavenly thing. that red gorgeous dress were fitting to her feature perfectly. he skipped several beats of his heart. So many plans he made but her appearance just blew her off. Antara was totally affected by that intense gaze. Somehow gulping she gained the strength to talk. "Raghu .. Tum theek toh ho na?
" She asked in low voice. Raghu didn't ansered and became silent. It raised hr worry, "Chup kyun hoo.." she said a bit loudly. "Tumhe patah tha kitna dar gayi thi main. Kaha tha na tumse ki mere saath chalo nargis ke ghar. Par nahi , tum dheet ke dheet hi rahoge.. Mujhe tumhe akela chodne ka mann nahi tha aur tum !! Apni zidd pe adde huye the. Aur yaha itna andhera kyun hain.."said Antara all in one breath... She then heard the sound of people giggling..She was confused.. Suddenly the lights turned on and she got the biggest surprise of her life.. She found Komal and her college batch present at the house-boat... The entire house boat was decorated with lights and decorations."HAPPY B'DAY ANTARA"screamed her friends. "Raghu, yeh sab...?"asked Antara with a bit moist in her eyes which was caused due to the overwhelming emotions..."Janamdin mubharak Miss Kaul.. Aur haan, abhi tanki leak mat karna..kya hain naa idhaar apun akela nahin tere sare le sare dost hain.."he said chuckling. Antara smiled and controlled herself. All of the girls of her batch pounced on Antara trying to give her hug. "Hey slow down girls !! Ek ek karke sab se miloongi baba"said Antara smiling.. There were few boys too. She met all of her friends happily. She hadn't met them in a long time. Of course Nargis and Komal were the closest too her and she used to talk to them while she was in mumbai but she hadn't spoken to her batchmates in a very long time." okk okk, sab se pahele yee batao kii yee sab huyaa kaise?" Antara asked in confused tone. "Yeh idea the one and only Raghu ka tha.. He wanted us to give you a surprise party with all your friends in it.. So I contacted our batchmates and invited them here"said Komal ..Antara looked towards Raghu with tears in her eyes which had formed out of happiness. "Kya kya karoge tum mere liye "she asked him in emotional voice. He replied in the form of a smile. His smile told her that he would do anything for her. The b'day celebration started and all of them dragged antara to the center table where a beautiful cake was kept on which the candle was lit up. Antara blew off the candle and everyone clapped. "Hey antu don't forget to make a wish..." komal said. Antara smiled and closed her eyes praying to god. she just thanked god for her beautiful, perfect b'day. Then the cake cutting and fun session started. everyone was rushing behind others to make them ghost applying cake's creme on their face. Raghu was rushing behind antara with a handful of cake vreme and she was rushing allover in the small room to save herself from him. but as usual he caotued her and made her face full with cakes. So how can antara stayed back. she also took a handful creme and made raghu's facee covered with creme. The houseboat filled up with their chripy giggle and at last all of them moved towards washroom ad came out cleaning their face to enjoy rest of the party. the party was going on when all of a sudden antara was pulled by a gang of girls too one corner and was asked so many questions like "How was Mumbai?, How were the boys of Mumbai ?, Was she pursuing her career in singing? etc".. Suddenly one girl named Sarah asked her "Woh tera boyfriend tujhe kaha mila?". "Kaun Boyfriend..?"Antara asked. "Arre woh ladka..Shayad Raghu naam hain uska...naa?"said Sarah indicating towards raghu sho was chatting with two boys of her friends group ."Pagli, woh mera boyfriend nahi hain. bas ek dost hain... "said Antara giggling.. "Yeah right ! You expect me to believe that. When he was called us here , the way he was talking about you and how much he wants to make you happy through this party told us everything .He loves you ! And guess what? You love him too.. The way you were concerned about him when you entered the houseboat.. I mean , you were scolding him for not coming with you to Nargis's house... Thats why all of us ended up laughing..."said Sarah.. "Oh please... "said Antara. Suddenly out of nowhere Nargis played music. Loud music... And that too funky bollywood numbers..All the girls started dancing like they were all crazy.. Antara wasn't dancing as freely as she used to with her friends before as she was shy in front of Raghu... Suddenly the song changed to a romantic one... It was Tum hi ho... "Gaana kyun change kiya re Manish...?"Sarah exclaimed.. "Coz I wanna have a dance with the beautiful lady"said Manish, one of the boys of their gang. He came close to Antara and started dancing with her. Antara on the other hand was a little uncomfortable in front of Raghu. Manish was her friend so she trusted him but she wouldn't talk to boys in front of Raghu. She knew he didn't like it. Raghu's eyes burned out of jealousy.He immediately approached towards Antara making her heartbeat uneven. "Eee Manish.. Zara side hatna"Raghu said with attitude. Manish was a bit confused but then he moved aside. Raghu placed his hand around Antara's waist and pulled her close. He was looking intensely in her eyes and she couldn't resist his gaze.. The gaze which drove her crazy. He swayed with her and she couldn't resist him at all. The entire gang was left mouth-opened. Their chemistry gave the gang goosebumps too. He then came close to her and whispered in her ear. "Tu aaj bahut khoobsurat lag rahi".. His words made her heart-beat uneven.. His intensity always had an effect on her. She felt her cheeks becoming red. Both of them were soon left in an eyelock only to be broken from their trance by the whistling and applause of their gang. Antara looked around with flushed face.
