Part 2
It was morning time in Naik Sadan and Machmach was on the couch watching news.
"A businessman named Ronit Verma has been shot down dead in his very own house..Investigation is still going on.. On the walls of his house, " 2 GONE, 5 LEFT " was written in bold letters... Police have stated that this murder is similar to the murder of Rohit Ranjan , which was done six months ago and back then "ONE GONE, 6 LEFT" was written on the wall" stated the news reporter's voice from the t.v.. Machmach's let out a sigh.. He juust prayed that Antara wouldn't get caught.. "Yeh ladki na jaane kya kya karegi Raghu ke pyaar mein?"he thought.. Antara came out quickly dressed in a light pink kurti .."Karan beta , jaldi karo.. Bus pandrah minute mein aa jayegi"screamed Antara. "Aa raha hoon mumma !! Bus belt pehn raha hoon..Mujhse tie nahi band rahi hain.. Can you tie my tie?"the five year old asked.. "Beta , I taught you twice.. You have to do it yourself now.."said Antara.. "Please mumma , aaj kar do.. Mujhe late ho raha hain.. Bag pack karna hain"said Karan.. "Beta, when will you learn to be independent.. Raat ko sone se pehle bag pack karna chahiye .. This is the last time main tumhaare liye tie baandoongi"said Antara. "Sorry Mumma!"Said Karan.. Machmach was watching all of this.. He quickly pulled Antara aside.. "INDEPENDENT?? SERIOUSLY?? Antara , woh paanch saal ka baccha hain.. You are unneccesarily expecting too much from him"said Machmach.. "I know Machmach, hes two young.. But I want my child to be independent from now itself.. Aage chalke main rahoon ya na rahoon , mujhe patah nahi, then this kid needs to know how to take care of himself"said Antara.. "Yeh main rahoon ya na rahoon ka kya matlab hain?? Aur woh ladka pehle se hi apne age se zyaada mature hain..Uska bachpan mat cheen Antara"said Machmach.. "Machmach, tum nahi samjhoge .."said Antara frowning.. She then packed his lunch .. "Khaana kyun bana rahi ho uske liye.. Woh bhi usse hi banane do.. Independent banna hain na bacche ko"said Machmach frowning.. "I know what I am doing.. Mujhe mat samjhao theek hain"Antara said smiling.. "Antara, tu kis mitti ki bani hain? Poore ghar ko sambhaalti hain.. Apne iss yede bhai ka itna khyaal rakhti hain.. Aur abhi tak 2 murder kar chuki hain.. Itna variation tere activities main hain"said Machmach.. "Main bas apne farz nibha rahi hoon"said Antara.. "Mumma, ab kaun time waste kar raha hain.. Aap chachu se itna baat kar rahe ho aur mujhe late kar rahe ho"said little Karan foling his arms across his chest.. Antara laughed.. "Sorry baba, yeh lo aapka tiffin.. Have a nice day at school"said Antara.. Karan hugged her and kissed her on her cheeck.. "Bye mumma "said Karan.. Antara smiled and waved back.. "He's got Raghu's eyes.. Bilkul Raghu pe gaya hain"said Antara as tears streamed down her face...
FLASHBACK:
"Antara , Antara, Antara,, Thank you , thank you, thank you"said Raghu hugging her.. "Kiss liye thank you??"asked a confused Antara.. "You've given me such a wonderful gift..Woh sab chodo.. Im taking you somewhere...Come with me"Raghu said.. "Whats going on??"said Antara.. "Just come with me and get in the car.."said Raghu.. He drove with a huge smile on his face confusing Antara even more.. "Isse kya ho gaya?"she thought... Suddenly Raghu's phone started ringing.. "Antara main drive kar raha hoon, mera phone uthao na.."said Raghu.. "Hello, haan boliye Ronit...Nahi , woh actually Raghu drive kar rahe hain.. Kuch message tha, main covey kar loongi.."said Antara.. "Usko bolo ki too stop the car and tell him that im joining..Main paas main hi hoon."said Ronit.. "Joining? Raghu toh mujhe batah hi nahi rahe,, You tell me? Where are we going"said Antara.."Sab patah chal jayega Antara"said Ronit.. "Raghu, Ronit is telling to stop the car and he is on his way, he is joining..He is nearby" said a confused Antara.. "Yeah fine, tell him i'll wait.. Tell that doosh bag to make it fast"said Raghu.. "Woh keh rahe hain ki woh wait kar rahe hain, aap jaldi kijiye"said Antara.. "Can you tell me whats going on?"said Antara .. "Shaant Bheem Shaant !!"said Raghu.. Suddenly Ronit approached them and got out of his car.. "Raghu, cake car main hain.. Tu meri gaadi lekar jaa aur cake ko penthouse mein rakh, main Antara ko le aata hoon"whispered Ronit in Raghu's ear.. Raghu smiled and nodded to his friend aka colleague.. "Antara, main tumhe paanch minute mein miloonga ..Ronit will take you to our destination"said Raghu smiling.. "Can someone tell me what's going on?? Yeh sab kya ho raha hain"asked Antara.. "You'll get to know Jaan, chill..."said Raghu running away.. "Arre phone toh leke jao ... Yeda kahi ka .. Phone bhi nahi lekar gaya"said Antara smiling.. "Accha Ronit, abh aap hi batao ki aage kya karna hain?"said Antara.. "Aage kya karna hain? Good question .. Main apne gang ko bulaata hoon ...Our way is free of any obstacle guys .. Come out"said Ronit smiling wickedly.. Antara saw 6 of Raghu's colleagues approaching her.. "Aap sab yaha?? Yeh kya ho raha hain"Antara asked.. "Two big fools guys.. Ek Raghu hain, jo sochta hain hum uske surprise mein uska saath de rahe hain, aur ek yeh ladki jo kuch samajhti hi nahi hain.."said Ronit.. "Whats going on?"Antara now said in a stern voice.. "Its gonna be me first and then we can execute it turn by turn"said Ronit smiling.. On the other hand Raghu who was keen on giving Antara a wonderful surprise of her pregnancy , just remembered that he had left his phone in his car. While, Ronit was dangerously approaching towards Antara making her terrified.. "Why are you coming near me??"Antara screamed.. Ronit approached her and snatched her duppatta and through it on the ground.. Antara immediately covered her chest. "RAGHU!!!!!!"she screamed.. "That guy must have already reached the penthouse waiting for Antara"laughed Rohit.. Ronit then forcefully held Antara's hand while another guy tore a piece of Antara's kurti.. The seven of them made that moment of Antara's life miserable for her.. "Leave me.. Please..."she cried.!! Just then a large sounds of a jaw bone breaking was heard.. Her saviour as usual appeared to save her ... "Raghu !! They tried to rape me !!"Antara cried.. Raghu felt his grip in his fist getting incredibly tighter... His heart broke seeing Antara in that state but at the same time the urge to kill each and every one of his once upon a time trusted colleagues and there he started. He didn't even leave a single person out of the seven ... "YOU BAS**RDS" !! How dare you touch her ..? I trusted all of you and this is what you do..."Raghu roared.. He beat the hell out of each and every guy.. Within no time, all the seven of them lay on the ground severely wounded...Antara within no time ran into Raghu's embrace crying.. "Tum theek toh ho na..?"she asked crying.. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead ... Suddenly his eyes widened and his grip got tighter and he let out a huge roar..Antara was shocked at this unusual behaviour of his.. "Kya huya tumhe ??"she said nearly screaming.. She then saw blood on his entire shirt.. He was stabbed by Ronit.. "RAAAGGGHUUU!!!"Antara said screaming.. Raghu was in his wounded state but he still wanted to make sure that Antara would be alright.. "S**LA , pp-eeche ss-se vaar karta hain"exclaimed Raghu.. He took out the knife letting out screams of pain shocking Antara. That girl had gotten into a complete stage of shock standing completely dumb-founded.. She collapsed on the ground within no time.. Letting go the knife in his hand, Raghu saw an unconscious Antara.. Meanwhile, Ronit and his gang , gathered some courage and strength as all of them were severely wounded and got in the car and fled away.. "AA-NTARA !! Utho !!!! Y-you hhave to be fine...!! Tum maa banne waali ho.."Raghu said stammering.. Tears were flowing down his eyes... Blood was constantly oozing out from his body but he somehow managed to get up and walk till his phone.. "A-AMBULANCE?? We need you urgently.. We are in Fifth Cross Road .. Jaldi aao.. Meri biwi unconscious hain"Raghu said with a great difficulty.. Ultimately, Raghu lost all his strength and just collapsed on the ground next to Antara... "I love you Antara!!"he said the very last time.. And there he closed his eyes forever..
Five Hours later:
Antara slowly opened her eyesfound herself in the hospital lying on a bed... A sudden recap of whatever happened flashed through her eyes. The nurse came up to her and asked "Aapko ab kaisa lag raha hain??".. "Raghu kaha hain.. Woh aadmi jo mere saath the.. Woh kaha hain??"screamed Antara. "Dekhiye, we couldn't save him... He passed away.."said the nurse shocking Antara.. Antara found a pair of scissors lying next to her and she immediately took them in her hand to kill her self when the nurse stops her by saying "Aisa mat kariye !! Aap pregnant hain...".. leaving Antara dumbfounded.. Antara immediately burst out crying and ran into the other room where Raghu's dead body was kept.. She ran to him saying that "Yeh tumne kya kar liya?? Mujhe chod ke chale gaye.. And now I have no option of dying also... I can't die even if I want to... Main marna chahti hoon par nahi mar sakti.. Yeh kaisi situation hain.. How can you do this to me ??"said Antara hitting the chest of Raghu's dead body. "Tumne waada kiya tha na ki tum mera saath kabhi nahi chodoge ? Toh yeh kya hain.. You can't die.. You have to be here with me.. Iss bacche ki parvarish karni hain ham dono ko.."cried Antara.. She then found a hand on her shoulder and it was none other than Machmach.. "Dekh na machmach, tumhaare bhai uth nahi rahe hain..."cried Antara.. "Woh nahi uthega abhi..."he cried..
