Chapter 35
I had just finished talking on the phone when I heard something behind me. I turned around and saw no one there. I looked back at my phone and sighed. This guy was really getting on my nerves. I had told him this afternoon that I wanted all of the information on that guy but he still hadn't found out anything. How is that possible? No information at all. Something seemed wrong. I looked at my watch. It was almost 10. Arjun, Ranveer and I were going to get Payal and Ishaan Chachu. I turned and walked towards the stairs when I noticed something on the ground. I bent down to pick it up. It was an earring, and not just any earring. It was Antara's earring. It was the one that she had been wearing to dinner. So that meant that she was up hear and she might have heard something. I went to Antara's room and knocked on the door. She opened it and looked at me. There was something different about her. "Oh, Raghu aa gaya hain. Waise tume Arjun aur Ranveer ke saath nahi jaana?" Piya asked from behind Antara. "Actually mujhe Antara se kuch baat karni hain. Riya chale jayi gi," I said. "I guess that means that I should go for a while. Antara, main mom dad ke paas chale jaati hoon," Piya said and got up to leave. As soon as she left, I turned to Antara and asked, "Sab theek hain na? Tu pareshaan lag ri hain?" "Haan, main theek hoon," she replied nervously. "Waise, yeh tera hi hain na?" I asked, showing the earring.
As soon as I opened the door and saw him, there were a thousand questions running through my mind. I was so confused. "Waise, yeh tera hi hain na?" he asked, showing me an earring. I realized that it looked exactly like the one I was wearing today. My hand instinctively went up to my right ear. There was still an earring there. I looked at him confused. "Do kaan hain tere," he said and I reached up to touch my other ear. "Oh," I said and took the earring from him and put it on. "Yeh tume kahan mila?" "Upar terrace par. Waise tu wahan kya kar rahi thi?" he asked. "Main... woh kuch nahi, bas aise hi gayi thi," I said. I wanted to avoid the topic as much as possible. I didn't want him to know that I knew anything. I turned around. I should tell him that dad yes to our marriage, shouldn't I? I turned around and was about to tell him just when he said something. "Antara, mujhe tujhe kuch batana hain," he said. "Haan, bolo," I said. "Woh jo aaj terrace pe... I mean... main jaanta hoon ki tu wahan thi. Aur main... Antara..." he said. "Tume kaunsi information chaiye thi," I said, asking him straight up. "Uss ke baare mein," he said. "Kiss ke baare mein Raghu?" I asked. "Uss... uss.. Satya ke baare mein," he said. I breathed a sigh of relief. It was just about him. Raghu wasn't on some top-secret mission or anything, thank God. What he was doing was right. We needed to find out what he was doing here. "Antara, mujhe tujhe iss sab ke baare mein phele bata dena chaiye tha par waqt hi nahi mila. I'm sorry," he said, taking my hands. I smiled. "Koi baat nahi. Waise mujhe bhi tume kuch batana hain," I said. "Tune Uncle se baat ki?" he asked. I nodded. "Aur kya kaha unhone?" I decided to have a little fun. I let go of his hands and went to my dresser. The ring was sitting there. I had taken it off so that no one would notice. I took it to him and handed it to him. "Main yeh nahi rak sakti," I said with the most innocent face possible. "Par kyun? Uncle ne mana kar diya?" he asked worried. "Woh kya hain na ki main... bas main yeh nahi rak sakti." I looked up to see his face. He looked really worried. "Arre, agar main yeh rakh longi toh phir tum mujhe humari saagi mein kya pehnaoge?"
What was Antara saying? Had her dad really said no? "Woh kya hain na ki main... bas main yeh nahi rak sakti." I was getting more and more worried with each passing second. "Arre, agar main yeh rakh longi toh phir tum mujhe humari saagi mein kya pehnaoge?" I looked at her shocked. "Matlab ki uncle maan gaye?" I asked. She nodded. "Haan," she said. I smiled and hugged her. "Miss. Kaul, aaj main bahut khush hoon," I said. "Main bhi. Ab hum bahut jald shaadi karenge na?" she asked. "Haan," I replied. "Aur phir hum do dil ek jaan ban jayenge na?" she asked. I kissed the top of her head. "Hamesha hamesha ke liye," I replied. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "Arre, yeh aansu kyun?" "Khushi ke aansu hain, stupid," she replied. "Tum ladkian bhi na, har choti choti baat par rone lagti hain," I said. "Shut up," she said and hit me slightly and hugged me tighter. "Raghu, I think ki tume jaana chaiye," she said after a while. "Kyun, tujhe mera yahan rehna acha nahi lagta?" I said. "Acha lagta hain, par agar koi aa gaya toh?" she said. "Ab toh humari shaadi hone wali hain, koi kuch nahi kahega," I said.
I broke the hug and looked at him. "Acha par..." I said and was cut off when Raghu put his finger on my lip. "Kitna bolti hain tu. Bola na, nahi jaa raha matlab nahi jaa ra. Jo karna hain kar le," he said. I smiled.. He wasn't going to listen. "Theek hain," I said and sat on the end of the bed. Raghu came and sat next to me. I put my head on his shoulder and hugged his arm. "Humari shaadi kahan hogi?" I asked. "Kashmir mein, aur kahan," he replied. And so the night went on with us discussing our wedding plans and decorations and where all of the events would be held. Eventually, I fell asleep with my head still on Raghu's shoulder.
I was talking about our wedding when I realized that Antara had fallen asleep. I moved the stray strand of hair on her face behind her hair. I looked at the clock. It was almost 2 in the morning. We had been talking for so long. I untangled her arm from mine and picked her up. I gently placed her on the right side of the bed and put the blanket on her. I turned around to leave but turned to look at her once again. I smiled. She was like an angel. My angel. I turned around and went to my room.
I woke up the next morning to find myself on my bed. Raghu must have put me here. I looked around the room, expecting him to still be here like last time. Sadly he wasn't. I threw my blanket off of me and headed to the bathroom to get ready. I walked down the stairs to find breakfast in full swing. I saw Payal Di and went to give her a big hug. I hadn't seen her last night because I was busy talking to Raghu. I talked to her while I waited for Raghu to come down. He came down and we sat at the table. Both my dad and Raghu's dad were discussing our marriage. It was official. We were getting married. "Toh hum jald se jald saagi ki tareek nikal dete hain," my dad said. "Ji bilkul," uncle replied. I turned to Raghu and smiled. He smiled and put his hand on mine. I was so excited that I had completely forgotten about going to the hospital. I looked at my watch and saw that I was almost late. I quickly got up and said, "Mujhe jaana hain. Hospital mein aaj bahut kaam hain. Bye." I turned around and headed out with Raghu behind me. I sat in his jeep and we drove off the hospital.
