Part 27:
Next Morning it was 8:00 AM wen Antara woke up. She rubbed her eues to get out from her Dream World, then she noticed that she was not at Couch infact she is on her Bed. She looked around d Whole Room. yes it was her Room
Antara(To Herself): Main yahaan kaise aayi? Main to Couch pe soyi thi to fir? Kahin mujhe Neend me chalne ki Bimaari to nahi ho gayi? Shut up Antara wat r u thinking? But then hw I came over here?
She closed her eyes to remember wat has happened then opens her eyes because she realized who brought her over here. None other den Raghu. Only he's d one who can think so much about her. no matter hw he irritated her last day but the fact is dat he loves her thatsy he cant see her in any kind of Difficulty ns she loves him too thatsy last nite she didn't argue much for room. though she has shown lots of anger to him but only she knews that it was all fake. She smiled wen she thinks hw Raghu has brought her over here
Antara (to herself): He cares so much about me nd I was so rude to him yesterday. Dnt worry Antara just talk to him today. I'll ask him to leave for Mumbai but I wont go so soon I'll come later hope dat'll conveince him. But where is he? Did he already left? No she has to check out.
She quickly gets up from her Bed nd moved outside d Room. She saw that there was no one in d Couch, she looked at the Kitchen nd saw her Mom alone over dere, her Nanimaa is still sleeping in her Room. She quickly goes to the Balcony thought that May be Raghu would be there but found no one over dere also. She wondered where he could be. Did he left without even telling her? Her face was started frowning with the Thought that Raghu has left from dere. As soon as she was about to turn she bumped into someone which makes her lose her balance. She was about to Fall wen someone catches her through Waist. Antara's eyes were shut in fear dat she was about to fall in ground soon she realizes d grip of strong hand around her waist. She knows of whom dat Grip is. It was none other den Raghu. She slowly opens her eyes to look at him nd she was right. She was safe in Raghu's Arms. There was an eyelock moment between both of dem for few minutes, den slowly Raghu raise her up nd Antara settles herself. They looked each other for some moments den Raghu decides to break d Silence.
Raghu: Y u r always in a hurry? Mana ki I use to call u Amritsar Express but that doesn't mean that u behave like dat only.
Antara: Actually I was worried. I thought u left without telling me so I was searching for u nd...
Den she stops wen she saw Raghu Looking at her with smile.
Raghu: So u thought that I had left huh?
Antara: No, I mean yes...
Raghu: Antara relax! I completely understand wat u want to say. Ur eyes has told me everything. Actually I had gone for a Jog.
Antara: Oh I thought that u left
Raghu: Antara, u know RAGHU NAIK he never backs out from any Challenge
Antara: Challenge?
Raghu: ya challenge. Remember last evening at kitchen?
Antara: O ya I need to talk about that only. i...
Raghu: So u agree to come wid me
Antara: Raghu pls let me complete.
Raghu: ok go on
Antara: Raghu I cant come wid u. pls Try to understand its not easy for me not after all happened dat day. Pls dnt make dis Stupid Challenges. Its of no use. Just forget about all dis nd go to Mumbai. Dadimaa is alone over dere nd u know that she use to have Palputations Problems still u r behaving like a Kid. Pls Raghu.
Raghu Listened to her quietly. He loves dat Antara cares for everyone so much
Raghu: If u really Care for Dadimaa So much den y r u not coming with me. Ok I'll go without u but tell me wat Answer I'll Give to Dadi wen she'll ask me about u. u think that she'll be in good health after knowing about the truth.
Antara: Raghu, dnt try to blackmail me emotionally. U know very well hw much I love her. but pls Raghu u r clever enough to give her any excuse
Raghu: I wont give her any excuse Antara because u r coming with me.
Antara: that's not Possible Raghu
Raghu: don't decide too early Antara because 24 Hrs. r not over yet. There's still 11 Hrs. left. Nd life can change in a minute then 11 hrs r enough to change ur Decision.
Antara: But Raghu...
Raghu: See u at Dining table for Breakfast
Saying dis he left from dere leaving Antara Puzzled. She knows that it was not easy to win from him but she'll also wont give up.
Antara(To herself): Fine Mr. Raghu Raghu naik Khurana. I have came here to make u understand Politely but I guess it will not work as u consider it to be war. Ok 11 Hrs. r left na. let see Who'll win.
Saying dis she also left from dere.

Savera: Trust me Raghu. Nothing will go wrong.

While dey were chatting in d living Room Antara was in kitchen. She is really not having a Good Feeling wen she saw Savera with Raghu. She has never saw Any girl so close to Raghu. Nd to her surprise Raghu too responded for her hug dat too a warm one. An unknown Fear has started to overcome in her mind. Fear of losing Raghu. Then she shrugged off all her thoughts.
Antara(To Herself): Wat d hell wrong with u Antara. She's just a friend of Raghu. That's it. Moreoevr she is Arman's Sis who is d Best Friend of Raghu as well as ur Friend too den hw can u think like that about his Sis. But the way they were hugging... so wat dey were friends nd meeting after long tym. Wats d big Deal. But wat if Raghu shows his interest towards her. Afterall I m being so rude to him.

Both Savy nd Raghu broke d Hug nd looked at each other with a smile
Savy: ya Sure. Shona I'll be rite back.
