It was 6 AM in morning and it was still raining heavily.. weather was cold and there was no sign of power...
RaNtara were sleeping peacefully.. when suddenly raghu felt a sharp pain in his left arm...
earlier he could't bandage his wounds properly...n due to cold weather he was feeling pain.. and was not able to sleep..
he checked on antara.. she was sleeping..her body temperature was ok now.. so he removed her head from his shoulder gently and laid straight..
he shifted a bit away from her and tried to sleep...
after some time they both felt cold again.. and raghu felt antara's soft hands on his chest...
his eyes were shot opened..and without his knowledge a smile appeared on his lips..she was feeling cold and was looking for some warmth that was missing for few minutes..
antara moved to him and he din't stop her.. she placed her head on his chest and placed her left hand on his right shoulder..
he held her in his arms..and rubbed her back with his right hand...
"antara, plz don't wake up before me..." he thought.
feeling her butterfly soft fingers on his shoulder and her hot breath on his chest he was melting.. he was no more rubbing her back..
but his fingers were roaming and exploring her back...

Rantara were coming back to home in heavy rain.. due to bad weather and storm some tress fell down on the road.. raghu turned his bike and they slipped..
antara rolled on the road.. she saw raghu getting dragged with bike..."RAGHU!!!!!" she shouted his name...
Antara woke up with a jerk...so did raghu.. she was breathing heavily.. whole room was filled with darkness..and then she felt a sharp pain in her whole body...
she was crying.. she got scared..she could clearly hear the sound of heavy rain..
she felt if she was lost some where.. or if she is still seeing that nightmare..
"Antara" raghu held her shoulder from behind.. and called her name..
she turned..and felt him very close to her.. she cupped his face.. you're okay...? they both asked..
I am fine..they both replied..
acc.. a cci.. accident... she hid her head in his chest.. and he took her in his embrace and patted on her head..
hmm.. it's fine.. we're home now...
"you please take rest.. your condition is not good..."
he tried to made her sleep but they both arched in pain..
raghu made her sit leaning her back on the bed..
she tried to switch on the lamp because they were not even able to see each other properly...but it din't work..
"there is no power.."
he moved towards her and she felt goosebumps..
they both looked at each other..he picked the candle n matchbox kept near the lamp on her left side...
he lit the candle up.. and his face was shining in its light.. he looked at antara..
she is looking so beautiful in this rainy morning.. wearing his clothes.. a few minutes before shivering in his arms... he thought..
but brushed off all those thoughts in a drifted moment seeing her frowned brows...
"ah! i needed a moment to be ready for this.. "
he got up from bed.. opened curtains of the windows.. now there was some light in the room..
he then looked at antara she was sitting on the bed as he made her sit.. lowering her eyes..
he put on his vest with lot of efforts.. and took a deep breath..
look antara.. before u look at me with those sherni eyes.. i just wanted to say that...
but she cut him in between.. "did i ask anything..."
hmm?? he looked at her..
"did i ask anything..."
no...
i know we met an accident last night.. probably because of bad weather u came back to home directly..
i can see these bandages.. we both r hurt...
bt i really hope u won't tell me some tv serial crap...
he chuckled..
though its a bit like that..he said in low tone..
u could hv wake me up...she wiped tears rolled on her cheeks at sudden..
u think i din't try...he sat beside her.. and looked in her eyes..
she clutched the shirt she was wearing... his clothes were very loose fitted on her.. and right now she was feeling very embarrassed in front of him..
he caressed her cheek very softly... u were fainted.. i tried a lot to wake u up..
u were bleeding a lot..n ur body was freezing...
i got scared and then to make u a b..i..t w..a..r..m..(he said in low tone)... i just slept hugging u...(he said in super fast speed...)
he wiped her tears..
plz don't cry...
n i din't do any hanky panky with u... she looked at him in shock...
no.. no.. i mean...sorry..!!
i trust u.. hearing that he smiled weakly when he remembered what he actually did.. n where he was leading too...he immediately got up from the bed..
she tried to get up.. but she couldn't.. her legs were hurt pretty bad...she cried in pain... she was about to fall.. but raghu held her..
"i told u.. u're not well..."
i hv to go to bathroom.."
i'll help u.. she nodded in yes.. he slid her arm on her waist..and wounded her one arm on his neck..
they both felt thousands of currents in their bodies.. they looked at each other.. and shared an intense eye lock.. her fluttering lips were inviting him.. she noticed the gaze his eyes were following.. she felt a bit uncomfortable.. his eyes were piercing through her... she clutched the collar of her shirt.. and lowered her eyes..so did he...
he held her one hand in his hand.. and walked towards bathroom.. she went inside... and he came back and sat on bed.. he looked at his wounds..he was hurt too...and couldn't rest properly last night.. he called in garage and asked for his car..
but it was not ready yet.
antara came out of bathroom after a few minutes.. he made her sit on the bed and told her that he booked a cab and they will go to hospital in an hour...
he went inside the bathroom and came after getting fresh n up..
they both helped each other in getting ready and left for hospital..

its been three days when they went to doc..n in these 3 days rantara took good care of each other..
antara was feeling better as her wounds were healing.. but raghu was not well..he got a plaster on his arm.. so antara was very much concerned about him..
Raghu took leave for a few days..and antara's college was already off these days..Rantara were sitting in their bedroom..
when antara got up and went to the kitchen to get something for raghu to eat..
raghu was feeling bored as he was at home since 3 days.. antara doesn't let him to talk much.. n keeps saying to take rest..
he spends his time in watching tv or sleeping..n even today when finally weather was good.. he wanted to go out..
but antara din't allow him.. he was irritated..
he thought to tease antara...he also went into the kitchen..
antara saw him and got shocked..
"what r u doing here.."
nothing.. i was getting bored.. so i thought to join u in kitchen..i can help u..
ha.. ha... u'll help..??
u go n take rest.. i'll come in a few minutes.. n then we can talk..
bt i don't want to.. i hv nothing to do.. u keep ur self busy in something..
bt i don't hv anything to do...
antara tried to send him back.. bt he din't listen to her..so he gave him a chair and he sat in the kitchen..
"she always gives order to me... like if I'm her slave.. bt today m not gonna leave a chance to tease her.." raghu thought...
he got an idea was about to say something.. but then he again thought...
"oye no.. don't u even try that.. what if she starts crying..."
but then a smile appeared on his face.. "so?? m here to make her smile again.. but lets try this once..."
antara was preparing food for him.. and she was not feeling good because she wanted him to get well as soon as possible.. n he was not taking proper rest..
"u know what.. u should hv taken rest.. bt these days u hv become so annoying.. u should go back to ur office..."
"don't behave like those typical wives.. its been three days u're giving me orders.."
"m not giving u any orders.."
"yes u r.. n u don't care about me at all...can't u see that m not in condition to go to office..."
"huh" antara made a face.. and contd her work..
a smirk appeared on raghu's face..
well its all ur fault that m in this condition.. n got this plaster.."
what?? my fault.??
yes...
shut up..!! it was u.. who wanted to ride in that stormy night..
n we both met that accident...
true.. bt it was me.. who saved u..we both were hurt.. bt see i saved u.. n u..??
sit here.. sit there.. GO TO BED.. NOWWW...u keep yelling at me..
antara showed ladle to him.. no i don't...
yes u do...
n moreover.. u din't even say sorry to me..
sorry..??.. why would i say sorry to u...
bcz i got this plaster bcz of u...
no u got this plaster bcz of that accident...
no.. he said with a smirk on his face...
i got this plaster.. bcz u din't let me sleep whole time...IN THAT STORMY NIGHT...
antara dropped the ladle. and raghu was about to laugh..bt he din't..
she din't even know what he was pointing at.. but all the scenes from next morning flashed in front of her eyes...
he.. bare chest.. hugging her tight..she.. sleeping in his night suit..which he only made her wear..
she felt embarrassed.. and din't dare to turn and look at him...
raghu picked the ladle which she dropped.. and gave it to her...
"i made u comfortable...u slept so peacefully.. but u broke my shoulder... u slept whole night keeping ur head on my shoulder.."
n my wounds became worse...u din't let me move.. otherwise i could hv applied some gel on my shoulder..
when i should have wear warm clothes.. and would have foment my injuries.. i had to sleep without clothes...
antara turned to him immediately..
n he kept his hand on his mouth to stop his laughter...but to pretend as if he got alarmed about what he just said...
"n there she goes..." he thought...
her eyes were moist again...
his words echoes in her ears again n again...
i had to sleep without clothes...she knew this.. bcz she saw him like that in next morning..but still she was hurt again...
u slept so peacefully.. i was sleeping with him..she thought and her eyes got teary...
u slept whole night keeping ur head on my shoulder.. how could i do that.. what would he have been thinking all the time..
u din't let me move.. i was sleeping hugging him.. that i din't let him move even in my sleep...
she was dying with the embarrassment.. and a lone tear escaped from her eyes...
all this happened in a moment... and raghu saw that...
Antu.. Antu.. i din't mean to hurt u yaar.. sorry.. i was just kidding..
u din't do anything.. u're still all pak pavitra...
her eyes got widened in shock...and raghu was laughing hard...
he was trying to divert his mind..
that's what u were thinking na... u still don't believe me..
no i was thinking something else..
u're right.. it all happened because of me..
i should have stopped u when u planned to hv dinner outside...
so that we would't hv met that accident..
and raghu made a puppy face.. and antara laughed.. though she was still in her thoughts...
ok leave it.. m sorry.,i shouldn't hv said all this..
i just wanted to tease u..
what..?
hmmhmmm...
get lost.. i won't give u ur dinner..
no problem... bahut chahne wali hai meri...kisi k yahan bhi kha lunga...
huh!!
u think I'm joking..do u know how many girls called me from office when i took medical leave...
receptionist ne kiya hoga...
arey i din't allow anyone.. otherwise they all would hv come to my home..
obviously.. u keep flirting with girls... u always have been like that...
u're jealous..?
why would i be...
u were like that in college also.. there wasn't a single girl u din't flirt with... she kept saying while cooking...
he came behind her.. and put his chin on her shoulder..
but i never did that with u...he whispered in her ears..
she felt shivers through her spine.. "that's bcz i never allowed u.."
huh!! u think u're very smart...let me call her.. i'll go with her out for dinner..
u stay here n hv ur dinner..ALONE..
n den u'll see.. ki kitna charm h mera ladkiyo par...
he took his mobile.. and dialled a number..
hello...
heyy sweetie.. n he was about to leave from kitchen..
when antara snatched his mobile.. and cut the call..
raghu looked at her and frowned his brows...
"dare u did that again..."
shark nahi aati... u're married.. n u want to go out for date with other girls..
u flirt with ur office colleagues.. they text u...
while ur wife thinks u're such a nice husband.. she was about to cry...
when raghu held her hand and pulled her towards him..
she bumped in his chest.. but she placed her hand on his chest.. so his another hand won't get hurt bcz of her...again..
she looked at him..
he showed her his mobile..
mom ko call kiya tha.. she lowered her gaze.. and a smile appeared on his face.. not because of his prank..
but bcz of seeing her lowering her eyes.. which he felt as if in shyness...
she freed her hand from his grip... and asked him...
those messages??
which messages...
that u said.. those girls sent u..
not even receptionist sent a single message..
and they both laughed...
