PROLOGUE:
It was around midnight... The surroundings were all calm and were resting in peace... There in the midst of a street were two houses which look alike where in one house suddenly, Tring... Tring... Tring... the land phone rang...and the lights were on in the hallway. Hello... answered a voice of a mid-forty aged lady.
"Hello aunty this is raghu veer singh" came a voice which made the lady feel happy and pleasant as it has been long back when she last heard that voice. "How are you raghu" asked the lady eagerly. "I am fine aunty but..." came an answer by which she understood that he is upset about something and wanted to share with her for which he called at this late hour being unable to resist. "Are you okay raghu" asked the lady for which she received the reply "Sorry aunty, I think its very late there, I will call again in the morning but please don't tell mumma anything about this" for which the lady assured him taking a promise that he will share with her regarding the dilema he is in now.
She after finishing the call grabbing her mobile slowly paced towards the main door, opened it and then slowly shut the door back behind her and then taking longer hurried steps paced to the next look alike house. On reaching the door rings the doorbell. Then the lights in that house were lit and the door slung open. A lady of around the same age welcomingly said "Mrs.Geeta Kaul come in...I read your text msg which u sent just now." Both the
ladies after shutting back the door seated on a sofa in the hallway. Then the other lady asked "Is anything wrong" for which she got a reply "Ha Mrs.Singh but donno what it is." Mrs.Singh concerndly asks "About whom it is" for which Mrs.Kaul looks off to the other side and says "I promised to someone not to expose" after which Mrs.Singh understood that it is none other than raghu.
Mrs.Singh in a concerned tone enquires "Is he okay...he will definitely say that he is fine though we know that he won't be, when far away from the house." She turns upset and says "Tell him to call me its been two days since he last called me and assure your laadla(loving) that this time I will neither ask him to return nor I will weep." Meanwhile Mrs.Kaul remembers that she hasn't informed anyone in the house and hurriedly says "I have to go now and don't forget to come to our house tomorrow morning." Mrs.Singh smiles and says "How can I miss my laadli's(loving) important day... I have to be there even before my darling wakes up, I know". Both the ladies bid good-bye to each other and Mrs.Geeta after shutting the door directly paces towards the upstairs room. She very calmly opens the door having an idea not to disturb her sleeping princess, goes near the bed and caressing her hair slowly plants a sweet kiss on her forehead and says to herself "Tomorrow is a very important day for you beta... but
everything depends on you... we won't do anything against your wishes as you are our Jaan... Antara."
