Chapter 23 updated. Enjoy and comment. Thank you 😉
Antara was nervous that whole day thinking if Raghu has reached his destination safely or not. He didn't call or even text message her. "Antara beta jaysey woh pahuch jaayega ..phone karega na ho. "Tum tension kiyu lerahi ho? "It's not good for the baby beta. Geeta said. It was night..Antara lay in her bed caressing his black cord with sword locket. She brought it to her lips. Keeping it on her chest Antara stared at the ceiling blankly. Raghu still hasn't called. She closed her tired eyelids. After a while later she started having flashbacks. Tossing her head side to side Antara was breaking a sweat. She saw how Raghu carried her in his arms to the mandir by the hospital. Momma papa were there as Raghu weded her. She saw Raghu filling her maang then tying the mangalsutra. She saw the complete scene before her surgery. .they were never letting go of each other's hands. .she grabbed his black cord and he grabbed her bracelet before the door closed and she was in the operation theatre. "Raghu!!!! Antara screamed her lungs out. Panting heavily she shot opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. Wiping her sweat she glanced at the clock. It was 9 pm and Raghu still haven't called. "Humari shaadi se pahelay kiya kiya huwa thaa woh kiyu nai yaad aa raha mujhey? Antara thought. She grabbed a glass of water when her phone rang. "Raghu! She quickly grabbed her phone and answered it. "Raghu.. tu...tum theek se pahuch gay na?" Tum theek ho na? She asked excitedly. "Han baba apun abhi abhi pahucha idhar.."tu theek hai na? "Junior kaysa hai? He asked. Antara was relieved when she heard his voice. "May theek hu..aur tumara junior bhi theek hai. Antara said while slightly blushing. They talked and talked. Raghu was on cloud 9 when Antara told him about her flashbacks and that she remembers partial of her past life. "Bahut jald terey ko sab yaad aajayega..tu dekhna. Raghu said. Dont know how long they talked..Antara fell asleep still holding the phone to her ears.
A day passed...
Today was karwa chauth. Antara came very early to Raghu's place. At around 6am saasu maa and bahu were having sarghi. "Antara beta tu jitna khaa sakti hai khaa le fir saara din bhooka rahena parega. Maa said. Antara noded and ate whatever she could. Soon the house was packed with ladies. Maa has organized programs for ladies. "Tu araam karley..ye sab toh chalta rahega. Maa said. The ladies sang and played games. Antara watched for a while then she went to help in the kitchen. "I hope Raghu time par aajay maa. Antara said to her mother-in-law. "Aajayga beta tu pareshaan mat ho. Maa said while caressing her head lovingly. Antara went in her room to take a nap. Raghu's shirt was sticking out of the wardrobe. Antara opened the wardrobe and was arranging his clothing when her eyes caught a rang covered shirt and anarkali suit! She pulled both out and spread it on the bed. Broken pieces of glass bangles fell from the suit and landed on the floor. Antara picked it up and examined it. Her heart was racing hard. "In sab se mera kuch na kuch rishta hai..lagta hai insey meri yaadey juri hai. Antara said while hugging the clothing to her chest. "Ye toh holi ke rang lagtey hai. Antara thought while laying down on the bed. "Ye churya kaysey tooti? Antara examined them..trying to figure out and remember her connection with them. She felt a slight discomfort in her belly. Rubbing it gently she closed her eyes. Right away she started to have flashbacks. She clutched Raghu's shirt and her anarkali as she tossed her head side to side. She saw the first time she met Raghu. .then their encounters. .how she fell in love with Raghu..how he rejected her love..then she tried to commit suicide. .then raghu's conditions. . How she fulfilled her conditions. .their cute encounters in the farm and jungle. ..how Raghu fell in love with her. .his confession on holi..how he got drunk..and then their lovemaking. ..next day how Raghu left her...when he came back she was in hospital. .he was sorry..then their marriage and then her surgery. .after surgery she was blank...Antara was soaking wet with sweat. Tears constantly rolling down her cheeks. "Raghu!!!!! She screamed again and again. Maa came running to her room. She found Antara in a bad shape. "Antara beta! Maa's voice hit her ears and she came out of her flashback. She opened her eyes..trembling and shaking badly she sat up. Maa caressed her face and wiped her tears. "Kiyu huwa tujhey? "Kaamp kiyu rahi ho?" Dard hai pet me?" Tu ruk may doctor ko phone karti hu. Maa said while getting up. Antara grabbed her hand." Doctor ki zarurat nai hai maa..mujhey sab yaad aagaya hai..my memories are back! "I remember everything. Antara cried. "Mera baacha! Maa took her in her arms. They both cried hugging each other. "Bas kar beta..mujhey khushi hai ki tumey sab kuch yaad aagaya..Raghu ko patah chalega toh woh kitna khush hoga patah hai tumey? Maa said. "Aap unney abhi kuch mat bataiye..may khud batana chahiti hu. Antara said .Maa kissed her forehead. "Abh toh tumey patah hoga ki mera grandchild terey pet me kab aur kaysey aaya. Naughty maa was back in action. "Maa!! Antara lowered her gaze as her cheeks changed shades. "Mujhey bhi bata na! Maa said. Antara covered her face with her palms and hid in maa's lap. Maa smiled and said. "Tu aysey sharmati hai na toh mujhey merey jawani ke din yaad aajatey hai. Maa said. "How sweet maa!Antara said from her lap. They both giggled together. "Arey ye choorya kaysey tooti? Maa asked while looking at the broken bangles on her bed. Antara blushed again thinking about how rough Raghu was on their first night. .pinning her wrists broke her bangles. "Arey bolna? "Kaha kho gayee? Maa said. "Maa woh..uss din holi ke baad..jab hum dono ney..ye uss samay tooti thii. Antara said. She was red as she burned with embarrassment. "Aur tab se mera baccha issey sambhal kar rakha hai. Maa said. "Woh tumsey bahut pyaar karta hai beta apney jaan se bhi zyaada..jab tum hospital me thii woh bilkul toot chuka thaa..subha shaam woh tumarey paas baitha raheta thaa...lekin merey Raghu ne himat nai haara ...ussey vishwaas thaa ki tu theek hojaygee..aur dekho tu bilkul theek hai. Antara sobbed on her lap. "Terey pyaar ne ussey badal diya hai Antara. .tumarey hi kaaran he's a businessman now..English bolna seekha..tarah tarah ke course kiye..sab tumarey kayney par beta. Maa said while crying. "Merey Raghu ko khush rakhna beta. Maa broke down. "Abh tum theek hogayee ho na toh bahut jald tum dono apney nay ghar me chaley jaaogey..tum dono ko ek dusrey ka khayal rakhna hoga. Maa said while caressing her head lovingly. Antara sat up and wiped her mother-in-law's tears. "Aap chinta mat karo maa..may Raghu ka khayaal rakhungi..aap aur papa bhi chalo na humarey saath. Antara said. "Nai beta..hum yahi theek hai. .may roz aaya karungi tumsey milney. Maa said while taking her hands in hers. "Tum araam karo. .may chalti hu..shaam ki taiyaari karni hai na...aur han terey saree aur ghanay merey kamrey me hai..may bhejwa dungi theek hai? Maa said. "Theek hai maa. Antara said. "Khush rah! Maa blessed her and left. Antara hugged his shirt and danced around the room in excitement. "May kaysey batau unsey ki I can remember everything. "Abh toh woh mujhey jaaney bhi nahi dega. Antara thought. She was very happy ki everything will be ok now. She caressed her belly lovingly. "Now I know ki aap merey pet me kab aur kaysey aay. Antara happily talked to her unborn child. "Aap hum dono ki pyaar ki nishaani ho...may aur aapkey papa aapsey bahut pyaar kartey hai. Antara said while caressing her tummy. Her eyes moistened . She tried calling Raghu but his phone was twitched off. 'May be he Is flying. Antara thought. Later that evening Antara freshened up and came out of the washroom to find her saree and jewelries on the bed. "Wow! "It's so beautiful! Maa had told her that Raghu had bought the saree and her jewelries before going for business trip. Antara hugged her saree and blushed. "I love you Raghu! Saying that she blushed even more. Commotion outside indicated that ladies had already arrived for the function. "I hope Raghu time par aajaaye. She said while getting dressed. She was missing him badly. It's been three long day's they haven't met. And after her recovery her patience was killing her. She needed to somehow break the news to Raghu. With her red and green saree..hair open which fell loosely on her shoulders. .minimal jewelry and make-up. .she looked stunning. Looking in the mirror she applied sindoor and wore her mangalsutra. Finally all dressed up and ready..she came out of her room to join others. Maa's jaw dropped open when she saw how beautiful her bahu was. "Ek dam dulhan lag rahi tu beta. Maa said. Antara was so shy as the ladies surrounded her. "Raghu ka hosh urdney wala hai! Someone said from the crowd. "Hayee..aysey sharmaa rahi hai ki aaj innki suhaag raat hai. Antara was very red now. Shying away she left towards her mother-in-law. "Antara beta tu apna thaal taiyaar karley..Chaand nikalney wala hai aur Raghu aatah hi hoga. Maa said. "Jee maa. Antara said while setting her thaal. "Ye chaand kab niklega..pet me chuwey koodh rahe hai! The ladies were hungry as they waited for the chaand to appear. Everyone came in the lawn. Antara's eyes were at the gates. "Please Raghu jaldi se aajaao na! Antara said. "Beta tum upar chath par chali jaao. Maa said. She has arranged everything for Rantara on the chath. "Raghu aayega toh may bata dungi tu upar hai. Maa said. Antara took her thaali and left for the chath. The chath was nicely decorated for Rantara as it was their first karwa chauth. "Chaand nikal aaya! Someone screamed from the lawn. Antara was watching everyone from the chath. She looked at the chaand..chaand was there but Raghu wasn't. Her heart sank. Down in the lawn the wife's were doing the arti as the husbands fed them. "Kaha ho tum Raghu! Antara said. Then suddenly she saw a light at the gates! It was Raghu's car! A smile appeared on her lips as her heart pounded in her ribcage. The car came to a halt. Papa got out and then her Raghu! Papa headed towards maa who was ready with the thaal. Raghu's eyes searched for that special someone. "Maa..Antara kaha hai? He asked. "Woh upar chath par tumara intazaar kar rahi hai..subha se bhooki pyaasi hai bechaari. Maa said . Raghu ran towards the chath. He froze at the beautiful sight in front of his eyes! "Antara!! Raghu called. Antara turned to find Raghu lost in her.'Raghu!!! Antara ran into his arms. "Sambhal ke yaar lagjaaygi! Raghu said. Antara buried herself in his chest. Raghu enveloped her in his arms. "I missed you Raghu! "Der kiyu kiya tumney?" Patah hai I was scared ye soch kar ki if you'll be on time or not. Antara said."I missed you too baba!" Flight delay thaa iss liye der hogayee..Raghu said. "Tu theek hai na? "Humara baccha theek hai na? He asked while caressing her lovingly. "May thee hu aur humara baccha bhi. Antara said. "Vrath tordwa do..bahut bhook lagi hai. Antara said. Raghu smiled and kissed her sindoor covered maang. Antara did the tilak and arti then she saw the chaand through the seive and then Raghu. Raghu gave her a drink of water and fed her sweets. Antara bent down and touched his feet. Raghu touched the crown of her head and blessed her. Antara was in tears when Raghu said " Abh meri baari..apun ne bhi terey waastey vrath rakha hai . Antara was stunned. "Tum subha se bhookey ho? Asked Antara. "Aur nai toh kiya? "Tu subha se merey liye bhooki pyaasi ho toh apun kaysey khaana khaa leta yaar! Raghu said while picking up the thaa. Antara"s eyes widened when Raghu did her arti. He saw the chaand and then her through the seive. Antara's tears rolled down her cheeks. "Chal khila pila merey ko. Raghu said while wiping her tears. Antara gave him water and then fed him the sweets. Antara jumped away when Raghu tried to touch her feet! "Tu..tum ye kiya kar rahe ho? Antara asked. "Payr chu raha hu ashirwaad ke liye. Raghu said. "Khabardaar! "Merey payr ko haath mat laga! "Pati patni ke payr kabhi nai chutey! Antara warned him."lekin apun chuta hai aur chuwega! Replied Raghu. "Raghu beta Antara ko lekar nichey aajaao khaana lag chuka hai! Maa howled from downstairs. "Chalo kuch khaa letay hai. Antara said ." Payr toh apun chu kar hi rahega miss kaul! Raghu said in his deep husky voice which made Antara to gulp. He took out a small packet from his pocket and gave it to Antara. "Ye kiya hai? Antara asked excitedly. "Khud hi dekh lo. Said Raghu. Antara hurriedly opened the packet and then her jaw dropped open when she saw green and red glass bangles! "Wow! "It's so beautiful! "Tum pahenaao na mujhey! Antara said happily. Raghu gently slide the bangles in her hand. Antara had a bright smile on her face. She remembered the broken bangles in her room. Her heart started to race. "Raghu..mujhey tumsey kuch kahena hai. Antara said slowly." Han bol na..apun sun raha hai. He said. She moved her hand and caressed the side of his face..his jaw..she stood on her toes and kissed along the edges of his lips. Raghu was stilled. Antara realized what she just did. She covered her face with her palm and turned around. Raghu slide his arms around her belly and gently pulled her on him. Raghu rested his chin on her shoulder. "Ye kiya thaa? He asked. Antara wheezed as her back hit his rock solid chest. "Kuch kayna hai tumey? Raghu asked while rubbing his chin on her milky flesh. Sensations shot through her veins. Antara turned within his arms and buried herself in his chest once again. "Mujhey sab yaad aagaya hai Raghu! "I remember everything about our past! It was the happiest moment for both of them. Raghu cupped her cheeks with tears forming in his eyes. "Sach? He asked. Antara noded. They cried in each other's arms."merey ko patah thaa tu theek hojaygee! He rained her face with his wet and wild kisses. "I love you miss kaul! "Tu apun ka zindagi hai..apun ka sabkuch! He scooped her petite figure in his arms and made two three rounds. Antara giggled and cried at the same time. Antara lowered her mouth and kissed his forehead while they were still going round and round. "Raghu bass..choro na may gir jaaongi baba! Antara screamed. They were the happiest couple on earth right now. Finally he put her down. "Toh terey ko patah hoga uss holi waaley din humarey beech kiya huwa thaa. Raghu asked with a glint of mischief in his eyes. Antara blushed and turned around. "Bolna miss kaul..yaad hai na? "Abh toh terey ko patah hoga ki tu pregnant kab aur kaysey huwi. He asked while playing with her silky hair. "Raghu..Antara whispered. His fingertips slide along her back..applying hardly any pressure yet sending shockwaves over her flesh. Slowly slowly his hands moved across her skin..down the sides of her stomach to finally rest in the curve of her hips. Just below her ear Antara felt his lips press against her neck..followed by another kiss then another. "Terey ko andaza nai..apun kitna khush hai aaj. He whispered in her ear. His lips moved from her neck toward her cheek then finally found her mouth. Antara clutched his shirt and closed her eyes. They kissed wrapping themselves together. They felt more alive. The amusement were seen in their eyes. The kiss was soft gentle then rough and passionate. "You are beautiful Antara! Raghu whispered in between the kiss. His rough lips brushed back and forth against hers several times. .each touch making her more and more desperate to be closer. She tried to pull him closer but he pulled back to sip at her lips with soft pleading motions. Their hands roamed on each other..every touch was deliberate. .every move perfectly calculated for her pleasure. His hand slid to her jaw as he tilted his head and took the kiss deeper. His tongue moved along hers softly and she let out a whimper. His teeth found her bottom lip gently. .perfectly and this time she let out a gasp. Antara dug her fingers in his hair pulling him close..she had no finesse. .no awareness. .no control. After a prolonged kiss they parted. Antara was blushed red. Raghu gazed steadily into her eyes. Antara lowered her gaze..shying away she ran from there. Huffing and panting Antara arrived in the lawn. "Raghu kaha hai beta? Maa asked. "Woh aa raha hai. She replied . "Bahut der ho chuki hai tum dono kuch khaa lo. Maa said. "Jee maa. Antara said. Smiling and ruffling his hair Raghu came down. Antara was putting the food on the plate when Raghu said from behind. "Ek hii plate lagana antara. .apun ko terey saath ek hii plate me khaana hai. Antara blushed even more. He grabbed her hand and lead her to the swing. They both sat on the swing and ate from one plate. Other husbands present there were feeding their wife's so Raghu didn't wanted to miss the golden opportunity. He also fed Antara. Giggling and shying away they finished their food. The house was overcrowded with people. Antara left to help the ladies in the kitchen. Raghu was after her..wherever she went he followed. "Kisi na kisi tarah se issey room me laana hoga. Raghu thought while scratching his head.
