Since I turned a senior member today, I thought I should give a try to an SS.I hope you guys like it. Let me know please.
Antara : Limping and trying to walk fast...
Raghu : Goes to her and takes her in his arms.
Antara : (All shocked)..Raghu..put me down..put me down..I said put me down.
Raghu : Look keep your mouth shut or I'll throw you off on the floor
Antara : (Too scared) Her face is red with rage. She is feeling helpless and is about to cry.
Raghu : I have no genuine interest in carrying you in my arms. I have other works too than taking you to the goldsmith and the doctor.And moreover, all this has taken place because of your drama only. I had asked you to keep your personal interests aloof from this job, but you cannot let go off your ego and attitude. You have to do things that enrage me and force me to be bad with you. He stopped himself. Wait. Was I just telling her something unusal?
Antara : (Who is a lil' normal by now) Raghu but I did not do..
Raghu : Please do not...And at this moment he looks into Antara's eyes and is captivated by her beauty. He is speechless. He can see the pain in her eyes and after a while, he ignores and looks away.
By now, they have reached the place where the jeep has been parked.
He lands her in the jeep's seat.
Antara is all quiet and scared and in sheer pain.
Raghu starts the jeep and they leave for the goldsmith's place.
Antara : Please listen to me once. I know I'm at fault too but I was helpless.Aaji wanted me to...
Raghu : (Interrupts) Very nice.You are taking advantage of Aaji's concern for you.
Antara : No Raghu. You are totally getting me wrong. I am not blaming Aaji. I respect her more than anything. It was just that she loves dance and she wanted to teach me dance. And in that process, this competition thing came up
Raghu : Still unaware about the competition thing, turned his head towards her and started gazing at her.
Antara : Do not get mad please. Aaji had kept a competition in between me and Rasika chachi. She was to be the judge and she had decided to give the winner a sum of 10 k.I refrained from doing this initially and I did not want to hide it from you but Aaji.
Raghu : (Who had stopped the jeep by this time and was in full anger)..Why do you blame Aaji for everything? Insensible lady..do you have any shame? Aaji is innocent, she is adamant..because of her age but you are a grown up and mature enough to decide what is wrong and what is right. Otherwise you are wandering around all the time giving people lectures about right and wrong..where did your principles go when it came upon you?
Antara : Raghu you are getting the whole thing wrong. I did want to tell you but Aaji asked me not to. She wanted me, rather insisted me to do it and I did it for her happiness.
Raghu : Okay. Agreed. But tell me one thing...if tomorrow Aaji asks you to jump into a well because it'd give her happiness..will you do that?
When Antara doesn't respond, he again asks her saying "tell" and then he yells at her at the top of his voice saying, "I'm asking you something. Answer me".
Antara starts crying.
Raghu : Aye. Keep this drama of yours away form me. I am not someone who will melt after seeing your fake tears.Such a drama queen you are!
All this was cutting through Antara's heart and making her feel more miserable.
Raghu starts his jeep again and goes on blabbering.
Raghu : I feel like dropping you in the middle of nowhere and leaving you alone there. You deserve it. Aaji has asked me to do this otherwise I'd have never wanted to even look at you after what has happened today. You are a selfish and money-minded person. I've never seen a person like you. You are a complete fakester. Your truth is out today. I felt pity on you and gave you the work of Aaji's care-taking and ensured you that I'll pay you a hefty amount but look at you. Seems your plans were different. Huh!
Antara is crying badly and her tears are over-flowing. She is in ultimate pain and her foot is bleeding badly. Raghu's words are adding fuel to the fire, making her wound deeper.
Antara : Please forgive me. I am not such a person,believe me. I have also lost my dad and my mum is also sick. I know how dear a close one is. Why would I intentionally do anything to harm Aaji? Please understand Raghu.
Raghu : Aye. Keep shut. Sit quietly. I do not want to listen to your fake melo-drama.
By this time they reach the glodsmith's shop. Raghu stops the jeep and indicates her to get down. Antara has a tough time getting down from the jeep. She is standing on one leg and waiting for Raghu to get down but he indicates her to leave and get inside the shop.
She limps and walks very slowly. Raghu can see her pain and wants to go and lift her up in his arms but he cannot. His anger is stopping him from doing it but his heart is weak and broken. He feels the urge to go and give support to Antara but his ego and his super anger holds him back from even getting down. He is pissed off and hits hard on the steering.
He has mixed feelings which can be clearly seen on his face. He has anger,pain,sympathy and care but his anger is over-powering everything else at this moment.
