Rantara FF: Laal Ishq||Chapter 29 Pg. 148 (Complete) - Page 73

"Raghu, do you love me?"

The smile on his face disappears.

"Antara, you should sleep. Good night."

"Raghu answer my question. Please?"

Please say yes.

"Antara, I... I didn't want it to happen like this. And you probably won't remember this tomorrow morning, but yes. I...I do love you. I love with all of my heart and I would do anything, anything in this world to see you smile. I'm not good at this, hell, I've never said anything like this to anyone ever before. But Antara, you know what? You've changed me. You've made me a better person. One that wants to live, for you. I want you to be the happiest person on earth. Antara I love you."

I feel a single tear roll down my cheek.

"Antara, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong? Please don't cry!"

He wiped away the tears and pulled me in for a hug.

"I'm happy because... because I..."

I didn't complete my sentence because I lost my self in a sea of black.

"Antara, Antara wake up."

I opened my eyes to see a white ceiling decorated with stars. My room.

I blinked and felt my head pound. Ugh. Hangover. Meant I got drunk. But then how did I get home?

I looked next to me as I heard my name once again.

"Raghu?!?!" I said and sat up. "What are you doing here?"

"Who do you think handled your drunk craziness last night?

"So that means I really did get drunk last night. But how did that happen? All I had was a coke..."

Raghu looked at me expectantly.

"Oh," was all I could manage. "Well I should get going. I'm sure you'll be fine now," he said, getting up.

"Wait," I said. "Will you stay for breakfast?" "Sure. Why not." "Okay. I'll just quickly change and then I'll make something."

"Alright. In the meanwhile, I'll make us some coffee."

He left me to change and as soon as he walked out, I banged my head against the door.

God. How could is have been so stupid? How did I not realize that my drink was spiked? And what the hell did I say to Raghu last night? I hope I didn't embarrass myself too bad.

Slowly, I got out of bed and got ready. I came into the kitchen and was greeted by the smell of coffee and eggs.

"I thought I was going to make breakfast," I say, leaning against the counter, watching Raghu struggle with flipping the omelette. "Well I thought you should try something that I made. Maybe you'll like it." He pushes a plate towards me. "Well it certainly looks delicious."

I take a bite and I'm actually surprised. "Wow. This is really good. I never knew you could cook," I said as Raghu joins me with his plate. "Just another one of my many hidden talents," he replies with a wink. "Hidden talents I see. Hmm. I'd like to see the rest of them one day." He replies with a nod and we finish eating our breakfast in silence. It wasn't that awkward kind of silence, it was a nice, relaxing kind of silence. It was one that I enjoyed.

After we finished breakfast, Raghu left saying that Aunty would be waiting for him. As soon as he left, I began to think of the night before. Why couldn't I remember anything?

I guess the best person to talk to about this is Raghu. I should call him.

***

"God Raghu pick up the phone! Is it really that hard to pick up a phone?"

I threw my phone on the couch and sat down. First I had mustered the courage to call him, but then he wouldn't even pick up. What the hell is wrong with him?

I decided against calling him another time and turned on the TV to see the latest news. Apparently we were in for a major snowstorm. Not that surprising.

I got up and checked the house to make sure I had all the necessary stuff just in case the power was to go out.

After checking, I put on my headphones and turned on my music and fell into a peaceful sleep.

A/N: Short update I know, but the story is reaching it's best part! Raghu's actual confession! What do you think that's going to be like? Comment below!
