Part 13- The horrible encounter
Antara: Kuch bhi bolte ho!!
Raghu: Tereko kya?? Tu sunti hai meri?? Aab raasta chor mera.
Antara blocked his way even more.
Antara: Nahi chorti!! Jo karna hai karle!!! (She gave a very naughty and confident smile to Raghu. She put her hand on her waist in Gundi style which looked so cute on her)
Raghu: dekh, mera bheja nahi fry karne ka!! Samjhi na!!
Antara: Lafra karega?? Paanga karega?? Laray karega?? Karle!! Apun kissi se bhi nahi darti!! Main tera Raasta nahi choregi!!
Raghu: To mat chor!! Apun apna raasta badal dega.
He was about to leave that place. Suddenly his stole got stuck with the chair. He thought that Antara was pulling that.
Raghu: Dekh!! Mera mood thik nahi hai. Jaane de mujhe.
Antara: Apun to tyaar karliya hai, agar kissi ko ek baari pakar liya, akkha life nahi chorne ka!!
Raghu: Tune suna nahi maine kya bola?? CHOR MUJHE!!
Antara stood in front of him and said- Suna na!! Main to tere har baat sunne ke liye tyaar hu. Tu bol to sahi.
And she gave that killer look which almost killed him from inside. He realized that she was not holding that stole. He was melting but he didn't show that in his face.
Antara stepped forward and came very close to Raghu. This girl was determined.
Antara: Dekha?? Yeh Shaam bhi nahi chahti hai ke tum mujhe chorke jao!!
Raghu could not take any chance any more. If he stood there even for another minute, she could have seen that how happy he was from inside to see her so desperate for his attention. But he was supposed to be angry with him. So he left.
Antara stood by the door and said- Kaha jaooge roothke?? Tumhe wapas aana hi parega!! MERE PAAS!! Mere ...paas...Mere...paasss...
Raghu opened his eyes. At first he could not understand what made him return in reality. Then he realized that he was actually standing under shower for at least half an hour and he was feeling very cold.
He pulled off the shower and came out of his washroom.
My life has become a joke!! Now-a-days I lose track among reality, dream, memory and hallucinations!! I have no idea why I am talking in such language in my dreams and hallucinations, why Antara is trying to pacify me in my dream, what is the relationship between us there?? Why am I watching all these creepy things in the first place?? Why did I meet with her in reality and how did I get so much attached to her life??
I was supposed to pretend that I am Sameer but no one asked me to fulfill her every wish. There was no need to take her in rain, there was no need to soak in rain on behalf of her. There was no need to talk to her that much. Why did I do all these?? Why couldn't I stop myself?? Why did my every fiber of body and mind want to see her smile??Why why why??
He put on his clothes and sat before his reading table, suddenly there was a knock on the door. That was Dadi.
Raghu: Hello Dadima!! Aap abhi tak soyi nahi?? It's almost 12 am.
Dadima: Do you have any idea that what is happening in your own house??
Raghu: What happened?? Is anything wrong??
Dadima: Nahi!! Everything is just fine. I came here to tell you that ...your father is home.
Raghu suddenly became silent and cold.
Raghu: Ok. So?? What do I have to do??
Dadima: I want you to meet him now.
Raghu: Why?? Tomorrow I will talk to him about our Europe project in office. You don't worry.
Dadima: Besides business relationship, you two also have father-son relationship. Got it?? Now meet him. Just ask him about his health?? Please!! He will feel good.
Raghu almost forced himself to agree and obey Dadima's order immediately.
He headed to his father's room.
Prakash Chandra Singhaniya's room:
When Raghu entered in to the room, Senior Singhaniya was reading something. He looked up at Raghu's face while Raghu was trying his best not to look at him. He was just silently standing there. Senior Singhaniya closed his book and stood up from his couch.
P.C.S: So, how are you??
Raghu: Fine.
P.C.S: I didn't know that you are such a kind heart.
Raghu: Sorry??
P.C.S: Your Dadima told me everything.
Raghu: Ohh...She did??
P.C.S: Ya. You are helping my friend's family. For that...erm...Thanks!!
Raghu: Erm...how was your trip??
P.C.S: It was great.
Then there were at least 2 minutes absolute silence in the room. Both of the Singhaniyas were mentally hunting for appropriate words to say each other to avoid any fight. But the more time was passing, it was getting more awkward.
Raghu: See you tomorr...
P.C.S: You are pretending to be someone else?? I can't believe that. Really?? Antara didn't have any doubt??
Raghu was least expecting this topic. He suddenly felt a hint of anger and he knew that if he couldn't get out of this room now, he would lose his temper.
Raghu: I think I should go now. It's almost midnight.
P.C.S: No, I mean...how did you manage this kind of situation?? You also found her fiancee. What is his name??...Wait...haan...Sameer, Right??
Raghu: If you know everything then why are you asking me??
P.C.S: (Watching Raghu's sudden cold anger, he also lost his temper) I am asking you because I want to hear all these from your mouth Dammit!!! Why do I have to get news of your life from someone else?? Why do your Dadima have to play a catalyst for our interaction??
Dadi entered in to the room and this scene really made her upset.
Dadima: You two started again??
Raghu: Don't you know why I avoid you??
P.C.S: Why?? Tell me. Speak. Say it aloud. I want to listen. I am tired of your attitude now. What was my fault??
Raghu: (laughed) Seriously?? You are asking me that what was your fault?? As if you don't know.
P.C.S: YES, I am asking you. What would you have done if you were in my place?? What happened many years ago, THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT.
Raghu: Of course that was not your fault. That was my fault.
P.C.S: Ohhh..COME ON!!! You KNOW that I tried.
Raghu: You didn't try enough. Not at all.(His eyes became teary. He had to almost struggle to stop those tears from falling)
P.C.S: Raghu...
Raghu: Papa, I think I will go now.
P.C.S: WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO PLEASE YOU??
Raghu: Nothing. I said na, that was all MY fault.
Raghu left. After the door was closed behind him, Senior Singhaniya almost broke into his knees.
Dadima: Prakash??(She holds him) Are you ok?? It was all my fault. I forced him to meet you. Everytime you two talk, something bad happens. I should not have done this. I am so sorry beta.
P.C.S: Nahi maa!! It's ok. (He stood up)
Dadima: Pata nahi aur kab tak yeh sab kuch hota rahega. He is still stuck in his childhood. He still did not let it go.
P.C.S: Maa!! Did you notice, he called me Papa once.(His eyes became teary this time)
Dadima: Wait!! ...Did you intentionally pick a fight just to talk to him?? Did you deliberately say such thing that will make him angry?? Just to make him speak to you?? Are you mad??
P.C.S: I was dying to listen to his voice Maa!!! And see, I got a bonus. He called me papa after so many days. (Tears started falling from his eyes)
Dadi hugged PCS and told- I wish...I could change what happened with this family years ago. I wish...everything becomes normal again. I wish...My Raghuveer starts smiling again just like he used to do when she...
Dadima choked and this time PCS was consoling her.
Outside the door, Avay was listening everything. Suddenly some memories from his childhood became alive in his mind...
Almost 20 years ago...
Avay: What is this?? (he pointed his finger at a toy plane)
Raghu: This is a plane!! It flies in sky.
Avay: It's a bird??
Raghu: Arre nahi buddhu!! It's a transport syst...
Suddenly there was a loud cracking sound as if someone was breaking glass plates.
Why are you so busy all the time?? I have been planning for this so long and now you are saying that you don't even have any time??
And why are you always so pushy??? I told you na, that this meeting is very important to me?? Your picnic can wait for some more days.
WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO COMPROMISE WITH MY PLANS ??
AND WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TAKE MY WORK FOR GRANTED??
I take you for granted?? HUHHH...YOU TAKE ME FOR GRANTED. AND I AM FED UP NOW.
Avay: Why are they shouting?? I am scared. (He hugged Raghu with his little arms)
Raghu covered baby Avay's ears and said- It's nothing. Let's play outside.
Raghu almost dragged Avay toward the main door to get out of the house after they heard another loud cracking sound of breaking things.
Avay took a deep breath and returned to his room. He tried to concentrate on his project but couldn't. His heart was telling him to go to Raghu and talk to him but he knew very well that...He won't talk. He is very introvert and he doesn't like his personal space to be invaded.
I wish I could help you bro!! I wish I could erase all those horrible memories of our childhood from your mind. I wish...I could bring back that innocence of you...
Raghu's room:
Raghu was pacing restlessly in his room. His air condition was running in full speed but still he was sweating like hell.
How can he ask ME that if there was any fault of him or not?? I mean that's RIDICULOUS!! He has very clear idea that what happened. Still he tries to rectify his mistakes?? Still he wants to fool himself along with me to believe that he is innocent?? Huhhh...
He was running his hand in his head. Suddenly this phone rang...Raghu picked up the phone. It said ...Antara.
Precap:
Antara: I planned so many things for our wedding, our honeymoon and our family. But my being blind stopped everything. (She pouted)
Raghu: So what's the big deal?? I will help you. Tell me what I have to do.
