Chapter 19
Rantara arrived at their neighbours house with little Pari trailing behind them. They started with the decorations right away. I hope to finish this before the guests arrives." Said Raghu. "I hope so too." Replied Antara. "Don't worry Anta Di,I trust my chachu,he'll finish everything on time aap dekhna." Little Pari assured Antara and helped them with the decoration. "You are such a cutie!" Antara pulled her cheeks. Smiling She quietly tip toed to Raghu and gave him Antara's mangalsutra and whispered something in his ears. Raghu smiled and tousled her hair. "Anta Di I'll go sussu and come." Pari ran towards the door,turning halfway she winked at Raghu and disappeared in the house. Raghu gave her thumps up and neared Antara who was sorting out the flicking lights. He playfully threw flowers on her. "Aap ko romance soojh raha hai? Please do some work we don't have much time." Said Antara while moving away from him to finish the job. "Tu mujhsey bhaag kiyu rahi hai? Don't worry I won't eat you here." Said Raghu with a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Aap bhi na... Kahi par bhi shuru hojaate ho,Sirf mauka chahiye janaab ko." Shy Antara's cheeks turned Crimson. "Mujhey kuch dna hai Tumey..." Said Raghu while wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. Antara's eyes widened at his sudden behaviour,poor soul started to imagine things and tried to calm herself down. She thought he wants to smooch her or something else. "Not here please ... " she freed herself and was about to flee when Raghu caught her hand. "Suniye please...you can't do that here..I mean koi aa jaayga.." Poor Antara tried to break free again. "I don't care if anybody comes,I'll do what I have to do." Said Raghu in his authoritative voice. He pulled her towards him and leaned on her. His proximity weakened her in the knees and she shut her eyes,permitting him to do what he wanted to do. Seeing her trembling in front of him he chuckled. Planting a gentle kiss on her forehead,he drew the mangalsutra out from his pocket and tied it around her neck. Antara shot her eyes open to find him fixing her mangalsutra on her neck. "Oh you were talking about this? I thought.." Antara let out a deep breath of sigh. "Han,mangalsutra dna tha,what were you thinking?" Asked Raghu while caressing her cheek with the back of his fingers. "Nai kuch nai.." Antara replied shyly and gave him a embarrassed look. "Oye Bol na!" He insisted. "Raghu beta! Antara ko lekar andar aa jaao,baarish hone waali hai! Function andar karlengey." Uncle ji howled from the door. "Ji abhi aatey hai." Answered Raghu. "Thank God bachgayee." Antara exhaled.
Rantara went inside the house. Little Pari had already made friends and was having a blast. Antara was relieved to see her mangalsutra safely around her neck. Sighing,she made her way towards Anjali while Raghu headed towards his friends. Anjali was the daughter in law of the house for whom the function was being held. They both greeted each other and hugged gently. "Toh batao when are you bringing a baby?" Asked Anjali. In response Antara looked shyly at Raghu who was chatting with some friends. "Antara,kaha khogayee?" Anjali broke her trance. "Nowhere...I was just..." Embarrassed Antara looked down and played with her dupatta. "Main samajhgayee." Anjali laughed teasingly. Antara's eyes fell on a group of ladies sitting around a woman who was making gajra and handing them out. "It's a treat for the ladies from me,Tell your sweetheart to get that for you before its finished." Anjali elbowed Antara tauntingly. Antara looked at Raghu who was in deep conversation with his friends. "I hope he gets me that,I would love it around my hair...these gajra's reminds me of my wedding day." Muttered Antara.
Few minutes later the ceremony started. Anjali was showered with love and blessings along with presents. Husbands were taking gajra's for their wife's but Raghu was nowhere in sight. "Abhi toh yahi tha kaha Chala gaya?" Thought Antara. Her eyes roamed around the hall in search of her husband but no luck. Sadly she went in the kitchen to help serve the food and snacks. "Antara!" Raghu's voice made her to whirl around in excitement. She was expecting to see gajra in his hands but his hands were empty! Her countenance fell. "Sweetheart,let's join them for a dance." "I can't...my feet hurt,I'm sorry." Answered Antara while arranging the sweets on a tray. "What's wrong with your feet? Let me have a look." He stepped towards her. "Nothing...I think I'm tired,don't worry I'll be ok soon...I'll go help serve the sweets." Antara left before Raghu could utter a word. "Issey Kiya huwa? Kuch der Pahlay toh theek thi." Raghu scratched his head in confusion. "Antara listen to me!" Poor Raghu followed behind her to the hall. "Antara Meri baath toh suno!" Antara picked a nice laddo from a tray and shoved it in his mouth. "Mera budhu pati,Tell me if the laddo is tasting good or not." Antara gave him a fake smile and continued serving the sweets. Anjali started laughing. Raghu struggled to talk with his mouth full. "Main budhu nai Hun Yaar." He followed behind her to the kitchen. Antara gestured to the men present there who were helping their wife's with the gajra's. "Kuch seekho unse." Antara made a face and walked past him. "Oye! I don't have to learn anything from anyone they should learn from me you know!" Raghu howled. Antara grimaced and headed towards Anjali. "Antara mujhey mere room tak chor aao please." Said Anjali who was tired and needed to rest. Nodding,she helped Anjali to her room upstairs.
Settling her down in her room,Antara made her way towards the stairs. Guests were merrymaking with music,dance and food. Suddenly a hand covered her mouth and she was hauled behind a pillar. With widened eyes she stared at her husband In front of her. Raghu chuckled and released her mouth and pinned her both hands above her head. Antara went vulnerable in front of him. "Now tell me,Pressure cooker ki Tarah garam hokar duwah kiyu chor rahi thi?" He leaned more on her. "Mujhey bukhaar hai issliye garam hu." Answered Antara. Raghu chuckled. "Main gussa Hun aur aap hass rahe ho?" Antara grimaced again. "Woh Kiya hai na,gussey mein Tum aur bhi Khoobsurat lagti ho with red nose,the way you frown and your pout just kills me." Antara lowered her gaze. Unable to resist him,she surrendered to him shyly. "Haath Choro na..." She pleaded. "Nai chorunga." With a glint of mischief in his eyes He pushed more on to her. "If I let go of your hands,you will run won't you?" Antara nodded in no. "I won't run I promise." Said Antara softly. Raghu gently released her hands. "Antara!" Someone howled from downstairs. "Mujhey jana hai..." Antara started moving away from him when he grabbed her hand. "You are not going anywhere!,I have something for you." Antara turned around facing him. "But they are calling me downstairs.." Raghu shushed her by placing his finger on her lips. "I don't care about them,Tum chalo merey Saath." Without wasting anymore time he scooped her petite figure in his arms and carried her to a room. Making her sit in front of the dresser he hurried and closed the door. Antara just sat there in a dazed state not knowing what he was up to. Suddenly out of nowhere Raghu produced a handful of gajra in front of Antara. Antara covered her mouth in awe. "So you did get them for me!" She was enthralled by his sudden surprise. "Yes I did... In fact I was the very first one to get it." Said Raghu. "Really? I can't tell you how delighted I am!" Antara's happiness was revealing on her face. She got up and before Raghu could say anything she embraced him almost taking him down on the floor. "Antara..." Raghu's voice wasn't reaching her ears in the excitement and she continued to hug him tight. Raghu was fascinated by her actions. "I love you! I love you! I love you!!!" She screamed. Going with the flow she forgot everything and kissed his both cheeks! It was when Raghu touched his lips wanting her to kiss him there,Antara's cheeks turned Crimson,embarrassed she covered her face with her palms and whirled around. "Aap na Bahut Besharam ho!" Antara muttered softly from under her palm. "Yeh baath tumse bahtar kaun Jaan sakta hai." Raghu laughed teasingly. "I never thought this gajra would turn out to be a lucky charm for me." "I'm thinking to get you these gajra's everyday,what say?" Raghu whirled her around and removed her hands from her face. Flushed Antara just looked down at her curled toes. Raghu tilted her chin up. "I love it when you do that." Shying away Antara went in his arms once again.
Raghu kept his arms tightly and securely around her for a while and then made her sit in front of the dresser once again. "Sunye,put that gajra around my hair na." Antara requested. "Mujhey nai aata Yaar warna wahi sabke saamne pahna deta." Said Raghu while scratching his head. "Aww..." Antara's gaze met with his in the mirror. "Abh Ghooro mat...nahi aata toh Kiya huwa...I can still try you know." Raghu took the gajra from her hand and tried to fix it on the round bun at the back of her head. Antara watched him from the mirror with a smile playing on her lips. She was falling in love with him over and over again. Somehow he managed to secure the gajra on her hair bun. "There we are! All done!" He exclaimed in delight. Filled with emotions,Antara got up and threw herself in his arms. "Thank you so much,you fulfilled my heart's desire." Antara was about to break down when Raghu said." Don't even think about it!" Antara swallowed her cries and wove her fingers with his,both shared an eye lock in that room. Leaving her hand he tilted her chin up,drowning in her hazels,he gently cupped her cheeks. Knowing exactly what lay ahead,she fluttered her eyelids then closed them gradually. Chest rising,hearts pounding,both were lost in their own world of love and love alone.
He stood there looking at her for a long while,simply staring at her. "Raghu," he said, eyes smoldering, without skipping a beat.
"What?" Antara shot her eyes open. "My name, I want to hear you say it." Surprised,Antara took a moment. "That's it? You want to hear me say your name?"He nodded and leaned closer. It took everything in Antara for her not to shrink away. For her to remain still as his warm breath slid across her heated skin."I can't...I mean ...jaao Mujhey sharm aati hai.." She hid in his chest. Raghu chuckled. Goosebumps followed in and she couldn't hide the shudder that rolled across her shoulders."Are you going to make me beg?" His mouth hovered near her ear and she felt the imprint of his lips even though he hadn't touched her. "Cause I don't mind begging. I don't mind doing a lot of things." Antara swallowed hard,she knew quite well what things he was capable of doing. "Raghu," she managed to say, her hands now on his chest as if she wanted to push him and run,but she couldn't push him away. She did nothing. Gees! she didn't even breathe! "That's like my wife!" Her face flushed a lovely shade of pink. Mesmerized, he reached out and touched the tip of his finger to the delicate line of her cheek, stroking it down to the edge of her jaw. "You're distracting, Mrs Antara Naik." He bent his head carefully, slanting his lips over hers and touching them lightly. So soft and sweet. He wanted more and moaned. His tongue traced her lips. But when she parted her lips, he invaded her mouth, exploring, tasting. The sweetness unraveled him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her petite body against him hard. "We are not in our bedroom remember?" Antara whispered. "So what?" Raghu caressed her cheeks with his beard hair. "Ouch! It hurts!" Antara pulled away and rubbed her cheeks. Raghu pulled her back in his arms and cupped her cheeks. "Bahut dard huwa?" Antara nodded her head with a pout. Raghu rained her face with his warm soothing smooches. "Better?" With a embarrassed smile Antara nodded in yes. "Let's go home before I ...samajhgayee na?" Both looked at each other and chuckled. Hand in hand they came down the stairs,party was at its peek. After eating, rantara left with little Pari by their side who was exhausted and sleepy.
