Aap Ki Antra - OS
Since a lot of ppl are writing OS n SS on Akshan I decided to write an OS focusing on Antra and Akshat, and how it will impact on Akshan's future. I am a Akshan fan so no worries on that, just that this OS will revolve around Antra, Akshat and their past. I decided to try something different and trust me at the end of this OS fyaada Akshan ka hoga.
A lady in her late 30s is seen looking through the window of a cabin. She is seen admiring a couple where the wife is lying on the hospital bed and the husband is holding her hand. Yes the couple is our dear Akshan.
Guddan has survived from the snake bite poison but is yet to gain consciousness. It was Akshat's love that saved her life. Doctor has already declared her out of danger. Akshat decided to stay with Guddan the entire night.
The lady who was staring at this was none other than Antra who was teary eyed.
Antra: (in her mind) I am glad to see Akshat moving on in his life.
Just then the nurse comes to Akshat,
Nurse: Mr Jindal here is some medicines you need to buy for Mrs Jindal.
Akshat takes the prescriptions to buy the medicines.
As Akshat leaves, Antra goes inside Guddan's cabin. She carasses Guddan's hair.
Antra: Kitni Pyaari Aur Masum Ladki Hai Yeh. (Such a lovely and innocent girl she is)
Antra:She kept Akshat happier than I did.
Antra: Thank you Guddan for taking such good care of Akshat and his family. May God bless you.
As Antra was done, she was shocked to see Akshat infront of her and her heart skipped a beat.
The thing she feared the most happened. She didnt want Akshat to see her and that's what exactly happened.
Akshat on the other hand came back to take his wallet which he left inside the cabin only to find the biggest shock of his life.
Akshat: Antra....
Antra knew she had to face this one day.
Akshat immediately hugged Antra. Antra was silent and she reprociated the hug.
Akshat carrased Antra's face.
Akshat: I thought I lost you Antra. You have no idea how happy I am to see you alive.
Antra: Akshat...
Akshat: The last when I heard this name from your mouth it used to be my nightmare. It used to remind me, how I couldn't save you. But this time, when I heard this from your mouth, there is so much peace. To see you fit and fine. Where were you all these days?!!!
Antra: Akshat, actually the thing is...
Akshat: Leave all this Antra, let me make you meet someone. Look Antra, this is Guddan my....
As Akshat was excited to introduce Guddan, he remembered that Guddan is his wife now. Then how about Antra?! She is also his wife. What will he tell Antra? That he finally moved on in life??
Akshat was silent.
Antra: Your wife.
Akshat looked at Antra surprised. How did she know?
Antra: Mujhe Saab Pata Hai Akshat.(I know everything Akshat)
Akshat: (looking at Guddan)Dekho Antra Maine Guddan se Shaadi sirf Tumhari Aakhri Icha Pura Karne Ke Liye Kiya Hai. (Look Antra, I married Guddan only to fulfill your last wish)
Akshat holds Antra's hand and brings her near to Guddan.
Akshat: To be honest, I thought my marriage with Guddan will be only for namesake. But Guddan proved me wrong. She did so much for me and my family. And Antra she is so naive and innocent. I dont know how, but somehow my heart melted for her. She always saved me from trouble. She saved my life risking hers. I accepted her as my wife from my heart. She may be young in age, but don't go by age. She did what many won't do. I can't afford to lose her. I would have died if she... I don't know what's right or wrong, but I will never leave her.
Akshat hugs Antra and cries.
Akshat: But thankfully God listened to me and gave me my Guddan back. I didn't expect he will give me you back too. I am really happy to see you alive, fit and fine. Meri Antra Wapas Aagayi.(My Antra is back)
Antra: Nahi Akshat Mai Aap Ki Antra Aap Nahi Rahi.(No Akshat I am not your Antra anymore)
Akshat is shocked. At first he thought Antra was upset on him being with Guddan, but since she was mature and understanding she will understand him, but she didn't.
Akshat: What do you mean?
Antra holds Akshat's hand and takes him to a park. There they both sit on a bench.
Antra recalls how she and Akshat used to spend time here.
Antra: Akshat remember how we used to come here on Sundays...
Akshat: Antra I will hear all these later but first tell me what's the matter? What do you mean by you are not mine anymore?! Tell me!
Antra: Look Akshat don't misunderstand me. Just take a deep breath and listen to me. And this time to have to listen to me as my friend, not as my husband. Remember before husband-wife we were friends.
Antra gets into a flashback.
She remembers how she and Akshat were good friends since childhood. Antra Rawat and Akshat Jindal were very close with each other and their friendship was famous in the college. Antra's mom and Akshat mom were very close with each other since they know each other for long. Vikram and Antra were twins. Antra's mom raised Antra and Vikram by her own after Antra's father left them.
But Antra's mom dies due to cardiac arrest leaving Antra and Vikram as orphan. Before Antra's mom died her last wish was that Antra and Akshat gets married which Akshat's mom happily accepted. Antra and Akshat were first reluctant but then they both agreed to marry each other since it was better to marry a friend than a stranger. Finally Akshat and Antra got married.
Antra and Akshat's relationship was all about friendship and respect. They both were happy in their world. Akshat always supported Antra and so did Antra. They both enjoyed with each other a lot. Akshat consoled Antra and Vikram whenever they missed their mom and treated Vikram like his best friend. Vikram was fond of Akshat too. Sadly Akshat's younger brother Angad lost his mental stability after a girl he loved, ditched him. Antra was there for Akshat and along with him she also took good care of Angad. Angad always wanted to be with his Bhai but wasnt really fond of his Antra Bhabi, cause he hated girls and didn't trust them.
Antra saw Akshat's love for cooking. She told him to leave his job and open a restaurant. They both took a loan and open an restaurant. Mr Sharma, a rich and
noble man had helped Akshat and gave him the loan and even offered partnership with him which Akshat happily agreed. Akshat and Mr Sharma's hardwork got the restaurant to Indore's no.1 restaurant.
Everything was going smoothly in their life,
till the dark day came in their life. Akshat and Antra with the entire Jindal family went to a picnic along with Mr Sharma's family. Mr Sharma was happily married and blessed with three sons. Akshat and Antra had a fight as Antra wanted to take Angad to the picnic and Akshat disagreed with her since Angad was mentally unstable. Vikram saw Akshat and Antra fighting and even saw Akshat raising hand on Antra in anger, Vikram was surprised but then Mr Sharma's eldest son calls him and Vikram goes away.
Akshat hugged Antra and apologised to her and finally agreed to take Angad with them.
Akshat, Dadi, Mr Sharma's three sons and Vikram were in one car while Antra, Mr and Mrs Sharma and Angad were in another car.
While Mrs Sharma and Antra was busy talking, Angad sees a couple romancing which gets him to panic mode. Antra stops the car and tries to console Angad. Angad loses his mind and gets off from the car. He opens the driver's side and throws the driver out of the car and drives the car. Antra begs him to stop but he doesnt listen and continues driving the car. Antra calls Akshat and tells about Angad's panic attack. Dadi also overhears this, since Akshat is driving the car and Dadi is in front seat. As the car nears the cliff, Angad gets off from the car and runs away and it was too late as the car drops off from the cliff. Antra shouts Akshat's name.
Akshat quickly rushes to the spot while Vikram and Mr Sharma's three sons were waiting in the car clueless of what just happened. Akshat was shattered to see the car burning down. Vikram feels restless and runs out from the car before Dadi could stop him. He was also shocked to see the car burning down. He immediately hugged Akshat and cried, not believing he lost his sister too. Akshat was shattered to see his wife, his friends and brother dead in the accident.
This incident changed the entire life of Akshat and his family. After two days of the incident, Akshat got to know from an accquitance about Angad being alive and his whereabouts. Dadi also gets to know about Angad being alive. Akshat goes to fetch Angad and confused he asks Angad regarding the accident. Angad tells Akshat the entire truth and hugs him and cries. Akshat realises if he brings Angad back he may be jailed so to save him and protect him from others Akshat keeps Angad in a house unknown to everyone. Akshat tells his mom the truth and to others that Angad is dead too.
Akshat adopts Mr Sharma's sons. Yes Kishore, Vardaan and Rahul are Mr Sharma's sons. Akshat takes the full responsibilty of the three sons and decides to raise them as his own sons since he is never ever gonna get married as he can't accept someone else as his wife besides Antra.
Akshat looks at Antra's painting and cries.
Akshat: I am sorry Antra I couldnt save you. It was all my fault that day.
Akshat: Why didn't you listen to me that day? If you didn't listen to me, you won't have died!
Unknown to Akshat, Vikram overhears his conversation but only the half truth due to which Vikram misunderstands that it was indeed Akshat who killed his sister. But then why would he kill his business partner and brother too?! Vikram concluded that Akshat killed his business parther for his greed so that he can be only owner of the restaurant and he also killed his brother as he is mentally unstable.
Vikram gets determined to prove Akshat guilty in his sister's death and he went away from there. Vikram stayed in another city, studied hard and thats how he became a CBI inspector. His only intention was to prove Akshat Jindal guilty.
Akshat gets out of the flashback.
He clearly remember how Antra's death changed his life and turned his life upside down.
Seeing Antra alive he was surely happy but at the same time how was it possible?!
Antra: Mujhe Pata Hai Akshat Tumhare Maan Mai Bohot Sawal Hai Ke Mai Kaise Bach Gayi?! ( I know Akshat a lot of questions must be araising in your mind on how I survived)
Antra recalls how she gained consciousness which was a month after the incident.
She was rescued by a guy named Arjun. Arjun looked a bit like Akshat, just that he was slightly shorter than him in height. The first thing Antra asked for when she woke up was about Akshat, but Arjun was clueless as he didnt even know her at the first place or who was Akshat.
Antra told her story to Arjun and Arjun told Antra that he will take her to Akshat. But since Antra was still recovering she wasn't in the state to even get up from the bed. Antra couldnt remember Akshat's number at all due to which she couldn't contact him. As days passed by Antra falls in love with Arjun.
Antra realises that what she had for Akshat was respect and friendship. Though they were husband and wife she was never in love with Akshat. Akshat was her best friend to her and nothing else. The feelings she had for Arjun she never had such a feeling or attraction towards Akshat. Akshat was the best husband anyone would ask for, but she just couldn't fall for him. The fact because Akshat took such great care of her and she was so busy with her responsibilties as the daughter-in-law of Jindal family she never thought about how she never fell in love with Akshat. He was too perfect for her.
Arjun wanted to take Antra back to Akshat but Antra refused and confessed her love to Arjun. She hugged Arjun and cried. She opened her heart to Arjun.
Arjun: Look Antra, as much as you love me even I love you too. But we can't be together. It's unfair for Akshat.
Antra: I know Arjun. But if I return there I can never be happy there as much as I was. Earlier it was about my responsibilty towards Akshat and his family so I never cared the fact if I was in love with Akshat or not. Akshat has always taken great care for me and he is the best husband one could have, but I just couldn't fall in love with him. Our relationship was just of that of best friends. I don't know if Akshat loves me or not cause we never even spoke about love.
Arjun: Then what do you want to do?
Antra: I want to stay with you.
Arjun: Then what about Akshat?
Antra: If I come there and tell Akshat that I love you, and want to leave him he will never let me do so. I know his temper issues. He doesn't know you well. I don't want him to misunderstand or hurt you.
Arjun: Then how can we stay together?
Antra: I have to remain dead to Akshat.
Arjun: Then what about your brother, Vikram?
Antra: No! Vikram will never agree with this. He will surely support Akshat. I have to hide this from him too.
Arjun: But you are the only one he has...
Antra: If I tell Akshat the truth, I don't want to fall in Vikram's eyes. I want to remain the perfect sister to him. Vikram is someone who always stood up for what is right. He will never let me take this step. Vikram will stay in peace alone.
Arjun: Look Antra, I understand your situation. But how about Akshat? He dearly loves you. You really think he can live without you?! Especially when you are alive.
Antra: What if I really died? I would have never been back to Akshat. So its better for me to stay dead in Akshat's eyes cause if I go back to him neither I myself can't be happy nor I can keep him happy. He certainly deserves better than me.
Arjun: I dont know what you want to do, but I am with you in this.
Antra makes a plan. She decides to send letters to Akshat every year through her best friend Paulomi. Antra told everything to Paulomi and Paulomi decided to help Antra.
Paulomi as per Antra's instruction told Akshat that Antra was already dying and suffering from brain tumour and showed him a fake report. Antra told Paulomi to trick Akshat and sign the divorce paper of his and Antra's. Paulomi cleverly managed to take Akshat's sign for the divorce papers. Then she said Antra wrote letters for him and told her to give her the letter on his every birthday. Antra did a recording to Vikram where she also lied regarding her having brain tumour and how much Akshat loves her.
In this 15 years, Antra and Arjun got married and moved on in their lives. Antra and Arjun were blessed with a son, 2 years later of their marriage, and named him Aryan. Every year Paulomi kept Antra updated regarding Akshat and every time she ended being disappointed. She always wanted Akshat to move on in life but that wasn't happening.
Sadly tragedy hits Antra's life one day, as Arjun and Aryan meets with an accident where Arjun breathes his last and Aryan becomes handicapped.
Antra thinks its because she cheated Akshat she got such a big punishment and she was so selfish to move on in her life. She wanted to tell Akshat the truth but she didn't had the guts to do so. She would fall in her own eyes if she returned back to Akshat's eyes. All she wants is to see Akshat happy and moving on in his life.
So Antra decided she will write a letter for Akshat one last time, and she also gets to know about the cake incident in Akshat's birthday and how his mom and Bahus wants him to remarry and how he behaved rudely. Antra wrote in her last letter to Akshat that he should remarry.
Soon, Antra got to know through Paulomi that the girl Akshat chose for him was named Guddan, and how she is totally opposite of Akshat. Paulomi shows Guddan's picture to Antra.
Antra: Kitni Sundar Ladki ko Chuna Akshat ne.(Akshat chose such a beautiful girl)
Paulomi: I don't understand Antra how could Akshat choose Guddan for himself. That girl is just 20. Though the girl is really naive, you are a way better choice for Akshat than her. And they have such a big age gap.
Antra: Wrong Paulomi. Sometimes that isnt true. Guddan maybe really young but I have a strong feeling that she will give Akshat the love I never could give him. Paulomi just make sure Akshat and Guddan gets married somehow.
Paulomi: As you say Antra.
Antra gets out of the flashback.
Akshat was speechless and he felt like a fool. The lady for whose death he was grieveing wasn't even dead and infact living her life not caring about his. He felt so cheated as if something pricked his heart real bad.
Antra was fully guilty and teary eyed. Her eyes were full of water and she was begging for his forgiveness. She fell into his knees.
Antra: Ho Sake Akshat to mujhe Maaf Kardo. Maine tumhare zindagi ka 15 saal kharab kiya. Iske liye tumhe mujhe jo saaza dena hai dedo, (Please forgive me Akshat if you can. I have wasted 15 years of your life. You can give me whatever punishment you want to)
I will happily accept it. But please forgive me.
Akshat: I don't know what should I do. If I forgive you, I don't want to be that great. But if I don't forgive you, I can't see you begging for forgiveness like this.
Antra cries.
Akshat: Kyun Kiya Tumne Aisa Antra.(Why did you do so)
Antra: Mujhe Maaf Kardo Akshat.(Please forgive me)
Akshat: Agar Maine Tumhe Maaf Kar Bhi Diya, Kya Tum Mujhe Voh 15 Saal Wapas De Sakte Ho Jo Maine Tumhare Wajah se Khoya Hai. (And even if I forgave you, can you give me back the 15 years I lost because of you?)
You have no idea how I spent my life in those 15 years. Maa, my sons were eager to see me smile and happy, to move on in my life. But I was stupid to be too lost in your memories and what you did, you cheated me!
Antra: Dekho Akshat I cant return you the 15 years I snatched from you, but Guddan can give you the 15 years I snatched from you. She will keep you really happy Akshat.
Akshat: Mujhe Pata Hai Antra. Meri Guddan Tumhare Jaise Swarthi Nahi Hai. (I know that Antra. My Guddan isn't as selfish as you are)
Antra: Mujhe Paata Hai Akshat Aap Ki Antra se Aap Bohot Naraz Hai. Haq Hai Aapka. But Iss Narisgi Ke Wajah se Apne Bohot Kuch Khoya Hai Zindagi Mai. (I know Akshat you are angry with your Antra. It's your rights. But you have lost a lot in life cause of your anger)
I will tell you the truth Akshat, I still don't love you, but you are always my best friend to me.
Akshat: You have no idea how much I loved you Antra. Aakhir Kya Kami Reh Gayi Mere Pyaar Mai.(What went missing in my love?)
Antra: The thing is I don't deserve you Akshat. Guddan deserves you, not me. She is a gem of a person. And I also know that you love her.
Akshat: But that doesn't mean I never loved you?
Antra: Who do you love more Akshat? Me or Guddan? Aap Ki Antra ya Tumhari Guddan?
Akshat: Antra..don't change the topic.
Antra: Just close your eyes once Akshat and tell me whose face you see. The person's face you see, is the one whom you love more.
Akshat closes his eyes and sees Guddan's face. Tears rolls from his eyes.
Antra: Tum Guddan se Pyaar Karti Ho Na.(You love Guddan right?)
Akshat looks at Antra.
Antra: (smiling) I know you well Akshat. Your silence is the answer. You love Guddan right!
Akshat: Guddan came to my life by chance, and I don't know how I fell in love with her. Antra, I am sorry...
Antra: I was right. You are a gem of person, Akshat. The mistake was mine but you are the one saying sorry. But you know what, our marriage was destined to break. It's funny how we were always there for each other, supportive and understanding and still our marriage broke. But the truth is I never fell in love with you.
Akshat: Love was not the only reason behind the failure of our marriage. It was the lack of trust. You never trusted me. Once, at least once you could have told me the truth. I would have scolded you, gotten angry in you but I would have allowed you to move on in your life with that guy you love.
Antra: And I don't deny that Akshat. It was indeed my mistake. I also know that nothing can change by just one sorry. I don't even know how to face you.
Antra leaves and she stops.
Antra: Akshat, no one is perfect for you as much as Guddan is, not even me. Guddan and Akshat are made for each other. I also know that Guddan will give the love that I couldn't give you, Akshat.
Akshat: What made you thought she loves me?!
Antra: From what I heard about you and Guddan, I can say she indeed loves you. But she is a young girl Akshat. She is yet to reach that maturity to know what love is. This is the mistake I committed. And it's your responsibilty to make her realise she loves you Akshat. Honestly speaking, she risked her life for you and your family. If I was her place, I would have never done so. Just think. There must be instances where Guddan must have told you she loves you, if not directly at least indirectly.
Akshat recalls how Guddan said how she and him can be partners and how they were friends and later fell in love and also how Guddan hugged him during their date.
Akshat: I don't know Antra...
Antra: Akshat, we may not be husband-wife anymore but we are still friends. If you ever need me, I will be there for you. I will help you, as a friend. That's why as a friend, I am telling you one last time move on with Guddan and forget about the past. I am your past, Guddan is your present and future. This is the best I can do for you, that is to give you suggestions. I take your leave now. Take care of yourself and Guddan. She needs you the most at this time.
Antra goes and Akshat stops her.
Akshat: If it wasn't for you, the guilt in me would have stopped me. I am still upset with what you did with me, but if I didn't know the truth maybe I won't have been able to move on with Guddan easily. I have accepted her as my wife long time back just couldn't realise I was in love with her till I went on to almost lose her.
Akshat: Thank you Antra for this.
Akshat and Antra shares a hug.
Antra: I am really happy for you and Guddan. Your love for her will cure her. And Aap Ki Antra Humesha Aap Ke Saath Rahega. Ab Jao Tumhari Guddan Ke Paas.(And your Antra will always be there for you. Now go to your Guddan)
Akshat nods and runs to go to Guddan.
The end.
I actually got this idea, after Antra's entry spoiler came. Tbh I am not at all in favour of the Antra track, but I feel what I wrote in this OS can be the only way or something similar that can justify Antra's entry. I will write another Akshan OS whenever I get a really good idea. It will take some time.
