Raghu came back to his cabin..and remembered the day of his engagement...
- - - FLASHBACK- - -
it was arranged in her house... we all went there.. as the engagement day was getting close.. i was getting restless
I wanted to tell her this on very first day.. I din't want to ruin the life of any innocent girl..
n mom noticed that..
Raghu i am telling u.. this girl will give u all happiness that u deserve...
she is a very nice girl.. and will always take care of you n everything that belongs to you..
and i'll wait for the day once you will realise that i was not wrong..
we reached to their home..
she came after a few minutes..
she was stealing glances on me.. and looked me with corner of her eyes...every time i looked at her..she lowered her eyes..
she was looking so happy with the engagement... i could see that in her eyes..
i wanted to talk to her..but i din't get a single chance..
and finally the engagement happened...i was feeling guilty..
she deserves to know that i can't fulfil all her dreams she had in her eyes...
in fact she was more active than me..
after engagement everybody got busy with relatives..
i was sitting in the room only.. suddenly i felt is some one was in the room..
i looked above.. it was her.. i got up from the couch...
are you okay..
yeah!! what happened..?
you don't look happy..
i din't reply.. and she looked sad...
ain't you happy with this relation...
its not like that..it's just everything happened so fast..
...or u don't like me..??
you please don't think like that... you're very beautiful..
anyone can fall for you at first sight...
she lowered her eyes and blushed...
he saw her cheeks turning red...
sorry...
she looked at me and asked for lunch...
i nodded in yes...
we walked towards garden..
everybody was congratulating us... her friends dragged her for dance.. and she danced too...
she was really happy.. i din't want to hurt her..
- - - FLASHBACK ENDS- - -
raghu came out of his trance.. when his phone buzzed...
it was her.. he sighed and leaned over his chair..
he kept staring on mobile screen...
he finally picked the call..
Hello..

and she cut the call..
he leaned back on his chair... and closed his eyes...
"hum milne ja skate hai..." she asks for my permission.. she could hv tell me that she wants to go there...
"thank you..".. did i ever thanked her for anything.. she takes care of my everything.. i never thanked her..i never asked her if she had her lunch or not..n she?... he brushed his hairs with his fingers..
"maine disturb to nahi kiya..." is she so scared of me...?
she doesn't even say bye to me.. i have hurt her a lot...have i actually ruined her life...??? he asked himself..
but he din't want to find the answer..because he knew he have ruined her life...which he never wanted...
- - - - - - - - - - - -
he came back to home at 6... she came out.. she was ready.. she asked him and he gave his bag to her.. they came inside..
she gave him coffee.. and asked if he needs anything..he nodded in no..
"nahi bas.. ready ho to chale...??"
"change karenge aap"

she nodded in no..

- - - - - - - - - - - -
he ride towards her aunty's house...her house was near a very small market and was very simple colony..
antara was sitting on his bike holding the stand.. she was a bit scared as she sat on bike after a very long time...
n he was riding very fast..
raghu saw her closed eyes through mirrors..and a smile appeared on his face...
he stopped bike mid way... she opened her eyes and looked at him..
"u want to buy something to take there..."
she looked at him in amusement... and nodded in yes.. he parked his bike and she smiled...
"sometimes he behaves so weird.. and sometimes he understands everything she wants to say.."
she bought some fruits n sweets for them.. and he started his bike again..
"suno"
ji..
ab kuchh pakad ke baithna...road sahi nahi h aage...
aur saman dhyaan se...
ji...
she held all polybags properly.. and sat on the bike..
his bike was once again on full speed..unknown to himself, he wanted to see her closed eyes in mirror again..and he did...
he smiled again..but din't slow down the speed...
she clutched his shirt tightly..her nails were digged in his skin...
he stopped the bike immediately...
she fell on him and held his shoulder...he leaned back and she also sat straight...
she was embarrassed...
i am sorry..
nahi...its okay... it was a pit in the road..
he started his bike again...
she sat holding seat...
its okay..
she looked at him through mirror..
he was looking at her.. she lowered her eyes..
and held him from his shoulder for support...
they reached to her aunty... she made them stay for a while and insisted them to have dinner...
she asked maid to arrange dinner for them...
i am very happy that u both came..why don't u stay tonight..
nahi badi maa. that's rly nice of u.. bt i hv office in morning.. so we need to go back to home..
after some time..they left from there.. it was cold out there.. antara opened the packet she brought with her and gave him a jacket..
thand h...
i am okay...
she nodded and wore a shawl..he ride back to their home..
he was feeling cold.. so he slow down the speed a bit.. but then it will take too long to reach home.. so he increased the speed again..
because of the cold breeze.. antara was hiding herself in his back..she held his shoulder.. and covered his back with shawl.. as he was not taking jacket..
and raghu could sense that...
he stopped the bike after a few minutes..he removed his hemet..and turned his face to his right side..
lao..
ji..??
do...
ji.!!...
she gave him jacket...he wore it.. and ride back..
she kept stealing glances over him through mirror..and smiled...
he knew that she was looking at him...
what??.. i din't know it will be too cold..he looked at her and said
she immediately looked away..
they both reached home..
antara changed first and then went in to the kitchen to make coffee for him..
he went in bathroom to change..
he removed his shirt.. and touched those marks above his tracks..where she digged her nails...
he wore his night tracks and came back in the room...
he slipped in the sheet.. and she brought coffee for him...
she sat on her side of bed...
suniye..
hmmm.. he said while sipping his coffee..
main aapse kuchh kahu..
hmm..
thank you..
kisliye..
aap le gaye mujhe maasi k yahan... aapne khaana bhi khaya..
unhe bahut achchha laga.. unhone kaha mujhse..
ismein thank u ki jaroorat nahi h..
she was not well.. its good we went there...
ji.. jaise... main kuchh nahi hu.. phir bhi aap meri family k liye itna sab...
he looked at her.. and she realised what she said..
a lone tear rolled on her cheek...
she wiped it immediately..
i am sorry..
and she slipped in her duvet...
they both din't know if they should keep silent.. or they should talk..
raghu kept looking at her.. he got up and kept the mug in kitchen..
he felt that his eyes were moist too...
she never said anything like this before.. never...
my cold behaviour has made her to think to this extent that she has no place.. no value in my life.. she is no one to me..
how could she..?
or should i ask this question to myself...
he looked at her closing her eyes forcefully...
he switched off the lights and slipped on his side...
soon they both dozed off...
Precap: Should I reveal the secret now?? 😆😉
