it's been a few weeks.. rantara were perfectly fine by now..
they both joined their respective jobs and antaras' college also started...
raghu started calling her antu as earlier he used to call her miss call..so he gave her a nickname now..
antara was sitting in her room near the window..and was looking at the sunset.. she was writing her diary
that she finally got some time and she was alone in room as raghu was watching some movie on TV...
today's weather was so beautiful..she thought..
she was lost in her diary and weather..that she din't notice raghu has come in the room..
he leaned on the bed and saw her smiling while writing.. and a smile appeared on his face..
"she is smiling like if she is writing some love letter..." he thought and chuckled...
he walked towards her slowly.. reached behind her and shouted "hoo"
she got scared and stood up.. she dropped her diary in fear and raghu burst out in laughter..
she looked at him angrily.. he picked her diary..
"what was u doing??" "hmm??"
nothing.. give it to me... she asked for her diary...
but raghu hid it behind him.. antara tried to snatch it from him.. and he ran in the room..
he went up to the bed.. and started flipping pages...
DON'T...antara shouted..
raghu looked at her and smirked...
what have you written in this diary... your love letters...?? hmm???
please don't open it..give it to me..raghu was about to read some random page when antara threw 2 3 pillows on him.. and snatched her diary from him...
he made an O face that he lost it so easily.. and she laughed...
she kept her diary in her almirah.. and sat back near the window..
he also came to her and pulled a chair for him..
today's weather is so good..isn't it..
yeah!!
first it was raining in morning.. then that rainbow.. did you see that..?
yeah!! u only showed that to me 3 times...
she made a puppy face and he chuckled..
yeah it was nice...
n see now this sunset..it's so beautiful...
what's so beautiful in that...
she pointed towards the sky..
do u know what i like most about the sunset...
umhm..he nodded in no...
she shifted her chair a bit far and asked him to pull his chair more closer to window.so he can see what she wants to show him...
see..there are so many colours in sky... first red nearest to the sun... then orange...then yellow...three shades of blue and green she again pointed towards it...
she looked out of the window..and he kept looking at her...yeah!! it's very beautiful..he whispered...
she looked at him.. and he immediately looked at the window..
you liked it??
yes..!! he said.. and gulped his saliva..
and which colour do you like most...
me? she asked in excitement..
yeah.. he nodded..
she looked outside and said.."i love that blue colour most..."
he again looked at her..
she turned to him immediately.. "do u know why??"
why?? he asked softly...
she looked back to sky...
because soon this blue colour will embrace all those shades and then we can see the stars...
she closed her eyes.. and he looked at her..
suddenly raghu's phone rang..she opened her eyes and he also got up from his chair..
he talked on phone for a few minutes..and came back to antara...
Antu..??
hmmm..she looked at him..
he patted his mobile on his hands...
ohk.. there is a news..

Antara was in kitchen making lunch.. raghu came to her..
she has made some north indian and some italian food..
wow..it looks good..
yeah!!
thanks antu..
you're welcome.. now please taste it and let me know if it is fine..
okay..he tasted a few items and said.. "it's perfect.."
she smiled in reply..
after a few minutes sid n ayesha arrived.. rantara welcomed them..
sid gave a flower bouquet to them..and hugged raghu...
they all sat together in talked for some time..then antara asked them for lunch...
they both praised antara and her cooking and raghu was on 9th cloud..
"antara lunch is simply osm.. we both loved it..." sid said..
"so?? after all she is my wife..." raghu said and all laughed..
after lunch they all sat together in living room for some time..
sid teased rantara for getting married..
how did u plan for getting married to each other..
she was my best friend.. and we both were single.. so i just asked her..
really?? sid asked in surprise
yeah!!
raghu got up to get some water for him.. and was coming back..
i din't know about you.. but antara??
any one could have said that she was so much in love with you..its so clear in her eyes..
antara's eyes popped out..and raghu choked off his water..
both rantara looked at each other..
raghu gave seriously?? looks to her and she shrugged her shoulders..
raghu came to sid..
"that's why i asked her..."
"now u tell.. hows life??"
life is good..
after a few minutes..raghu was about to play some movie but ayesha asked rantara to show them their wedding album...
yeah right.. u din't call us on ur wedding.. but at least we can see your pictures.. sid said..
antara looked at raghu and raghu nodded in yes..
antara went in the room and brought the album...
she gave it to ayesha and she looked at it happily..
ayesha sat in middle on the couch..sid to her left and antara to her right..
when she opened the album.. all those memories flashed in front of rantara's eyes..
they both looked at each other and smiled..
raghu was standing behind them..
antara saw him and got up.. and asked him to sit at her place.. but he stopped her and nodded in no..
you sit..i am fine..he said..
antara sat beside ayesha... raghu came in front and sat on side of couch near antara..
sid was passing comments on rantara after seeing their pix..antara's heart was beating so fast..
she was scared that raghu was sitting so close to her that he could actually listen to her heart beat...
it was increasing as she was looking at the pix...
suddenly a pic came...antara looked at raghu and smiled..
raghu's eyes got widened..
he immediately leaned over antara and kept his left hand on couch behind antara and hid the pic with his right hand and nodded in no to not to see that pic..
antara's heart skipped a beat.. his face was just a few centimetres away from her...
she couldn't move a bit.. it seemed like if he was hugging her..
she blushed and lowered her gaze..
raghu kept struggling with sid n ayesha..
but sid pushed his hand away and he fell a bit on antara...
antara still din't look at him.. he noticed how close he was sitting to her..
he moved back and she silently got up from couch...raghu looked at her but din't say anything..
"antara where r u going..?" ayesha asked..
umm...in kitchen...
u guys need something..
sid n ayesha nodded in no..
coffee??
no.. they both said..
okay...
raghu din't reply anything..
raghu u won't take anything.. sid asked in teasing tone..
no.. he smiled weakly and replied..and btw she is my wife.. if i need anything.. i can ask her.. u don't need to tease me for everything..okay..?
antara came back after a few minutes..and joined them..
- - - - - -
in evening antara made some snacks and tea for everybody and ayesha joined her in kitchen..
after their tea party sid said that they have to leave.. it's getting late now..
rantara wanted them to stay.. but they couldn't..
antara and ayesha were in kitchen... talking to each other and arranging stuffs..
sid and raghu were in living room.. when suddenly sid asked raghu about his life with antara..
it's good.. raghu replied..
i mean she knew about her.. right???..
yeah!! i told her about our break-up..
she never asked me anything about her..in fact she din't even know her name..
n she understands me..antara is really a very good friend of me..
and she really loves you a lot..
raghu looked at him.. why do u keep saying that...
because i can see that...she is taking really good care of you..you're very lucky raghu..
raghu heard sound of bangles and turned.. he saw her arranging plates on table and smiled...
u lost ur love once..bt life gave u an another chance.. and i am really happy to see you both together..
sid was talking to him.. and he was still looking at her...
i really wish that u both stay happy like this..
yeah!! me too..he turned back to sid..
thanks man..raghu smiled and said..
sid excused himself for a minute.. he needed to get some stuffs from his car..
raghu came to kitchen to get some water.. but stopped outside as he heard antara and ayesha talking to each other..
antara.. u're so good.. i mean u cook so well..
thanks..
u don't get tired with so much work...?
no.. she nodded in no...
and u manage ur home and job...
i love to do all this work...and it's my home too..
yeah!!... raghu is very lucky.. that he has got u as his wife..
antara smiled..
i am serious.... raghu was looking at antara and was smiling...
first u're so beautiful... hearing that raghu looked at antara's face and admired her beauty..
she is right.. he thought...
and then u manage everything so perfectly.. m fan of urs now.. antara chuckled..
no wonder why he loves u so much...
antara stopped smiling and raghu hated that...
n that time u din't say anything.. but now u tell me.. how u both fell in love...
it's not a love marriage..she said innocently..
but sid told me that u both were very good friends in college...
exactly.. we were only friends...
like that..?
yeah!! like that...
may be he fell for u.. n u don't know about that...
oh god ayesha.. stop it..
i was so stubborn in college.. he considered me as his friend was more than enough for me..
how can anyone fell for such a girl...
may be..he found something special in u...
antara chuckled again.. i still remember that assignment we did together..
i was so rude to him... it took us so long to adjust with each other...
raghu smiled thinking of those days...
at that time i din't even share my phone number with him...
but now.. we share everything.. i live here... in his house..
he is so loving and a very caring husband...
sometimes i feel so blessed that i have him in my life...
i can't really imagine myself without him...
awww...!!! raghu said leaning on the door.. and ayesha chuckled..
antara's eyes popped out...
ayesha excused herself..and came out of the kitchen...
once she left.. raghu came in..antara lowered her eyes..
he opened the fridge and had some water..
antara looked above.. he was still in the kitchen...
looking at her with a smirk on his face...
antara was about to ask him something.. but he left from the kitchen...
and antara was feeling so embarrassed...
after a few minutes sid n ayesha left...rantara came inside their home..
but antara wasn't able to meet her eyes with him..
she was going towards kitchen..
when raghu stopped her...antu..??
she stopped immediately but din't turn..
i won't hv dinner today..not feeling hungry...
but i'll make something..
why antu?? u don't get tired...
no.. she replied.. but soon she understood what he meant..
she turned and looked at him..
and he burst out in laughter...
she ran after him.. and he ran towards their bedroom...
she threw pillows on him.. but he din't stop...
when antara got tired of running after him.. she fell on the bed and laughed..
she was laying on bed..and was breathing heavily.. raghu stopped..and looked at her..
he came and lay beside her..he was breathing hard too...
they both looked at each other for a few seconds and again burst out in laughter...
but then antara hit him for listening to her talks...
and raghu teased her saying... "awww"
antara made a puppy face.. but i wasn't lying...
he cupped her face.."i know..."
what??
that u're very stubborn.. n m very loving and caring husband...
he again laughed.. antara sat on the bed made an O face...
sorry.. raghu said
she din't look at him.. raghu sat in front of her.. and again said sorry to her holding his ears...
she smiled and asked him to have some rest..
hmm..
antu..? m feeling tired..
why?
u din't do anything today...
are u serious..? u were with ayesha.. and i tolerated sid n his talks...
antara chuckled.. okay..how about oil champi??
okay..he nodded...
she went and got some oil in a bowl..
antara sat on the bed and asked him to sit down on floor..
but he din't...
antara gave him a "now what??" looks
he lay on the bed and had his head in her lap...
now do it..
antara pushed him away..
u'll ruin my dress..
i'll buy u another one...
and he again lay like that...
she massaged his head...he felt goosebumps as soon as he felt her fingertips...
he closed his eyes...
antara asked him a few things.. but he answered in only hmmm..
after sometime antara stopped asking him.. and he din't notice..
he was thinking about whatever sid said to him.. and whatever he heard in kitchen...
when antara stopped doing massage..he din't feel her hands..
he held her one hand and put on his head..
don't stop...i love this...
he held her another hand and brought it to his hear.. and kissed her fingers...
"sid was right".. he said softly...
he was not in his senses.. but antara was shocked to see his behave...
he held her hand tight close to his heart.. and slept in her lap...
