PART 8
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~ Anais Nin
K---KYA ...??? Raghu itni subhe subhe aagaya ??? shaken Antara asked Chilly. Chilly hopped in excitement and noded happily confirming her.
Abh kya karun ??? kaise Raghu ko rokun ?? mujhe nahi jana kahinbhi uske sath !!!...Antara didn't know due to acute fear or what she felt a queasiness in her stomach as the horrific experiences within the locked car in the dark night clouded her mind n shook her. Strangely her mind also remembered how he had climbed the wall up carrying her most securely...most intimately. Oddly she realised her body reacting weirdly as her mind flashed the memories of his proximity. How could she trust that boy so much even for a second and let him carry her that way?? She scolded herself for letting that happen and thought how insanely and cruelly Raghu forced her to eat n himself ate cake from her face.
Whenever her mind protested against his each and every wrong deed ...his deep black intense eyes flashed in her mind ...binding her with invisible magnetic wires... she tried to cut them n get free but couldn't.
Antara placed her hand on her thudding chest and tried to think a way out.
Mother ko kahungi to wo manegi hi nahi...aur abh to main bata bhi nahi sakti ki kal adhi raat tak main orphanage ke bahar thi ...kiske sath thi ...koun mujhe zabardasti uthakar legaya tha !!! ...kyunke maine khud sabko kaha ki main changing room me so gayithi ...main kahin aur nahi apni cottage me hi thi ...!!!
Par Damu kaka ?? unhe to Raghu mere hi samne behosh kar diya tha ...unhone kal rat ko meri jhut sunnneke baad bhi kisiko kuch kaha kyun nahi ??? Kya Raghu ne kaka ko sach batane se rok diya tha pahle hi ??? Oh my God ...yeh ladka hai kya??? kitna kahatarnak hai yeh Raghu !!!. Yeh chahe toh kuch bhi karle apne hisab se !!! Antara's trail of appalling thoughts got interrupted by Chilly's happy chirpy baby voice..: Anta didi...chalo ...utho utho...jaldi kalo...Ragu ne bola jaldi jaldi!!!
Antara pulled n grabbed Chilly and pleaded to her hastily...:Chilly ...mm..meri baat sun..!!! main kahin nahi jane wali uss Raghu ke sath ! tu bhi nahi jayegi ...samjhi ???
Kyuuun ...Anta didi...??? Little Chilly was devastated n heart broken with that sudden huge denial.
Wo ..wo main tujhe baad mein bataungi...abh tu ja aur Raghu ko jake bata de ki main nahi ayungi...par ...par firbhi wo mujhse baat karne zaroor ayega!!! aur mujhe zabardasti apne sath lekar jayega...panicked Antara mumbled to herself
...mm...main kya karun...oh God main kya karun ????...haan ...mm...main chup jati hun!!!...wo chala jaye toh tu mere pas ajana ...thik hai ??? aur han Chilly ...uss Raghu ko kisi bhi haal pe NAHI batana ki main kahan chupi hui hun ...thik hai mera bachha ??? Antara caressed her cheeks n gave her huge puppies hugging her tightly.
Chilly n Nandini both knew Antara's hideout within the orphanage. Actually, it was a hideout for Antara from her childhood. Nandini and Chilly too used it when they needed. Whenever Matron was upto, punish any of them they always hid there in that secret place for the whole day if somehow they managed a lucky escape from Matron. They knew Matron had an unspoken rule in her rule book...she never carried any punishment to the next day.
Par Anta didi...Chilly ko jana hai Ragu ke sath...Gayee mein ...Chilly whined to Antara still trying to convince her poorly.
Nai Chilly ...aise zid nahi karte beta...tu mera achha baccha hai na ??? Antara cupped her pouted little face. Chilly noded agreeing her n said grimly...:...theek hai ... Anta didi ...jao ...jake chup jao...Ragu ko Anta didi naai milegi ...Raghu chala jayega ...
Around 7 am @ Mother's cottage :
Raghu was sitting on a small couch sipping tea from a small glass in Mother's cottage. Mother was busy attending an important phonecall from a church of a nearby village.
Raghu was listening to mother and simultaneously was thinking...Chilly abhtak pohoch gayi hogi Antara ke pas... itni asaani se wo mere sath chalne ko razi nahi hogi yeh to mereko pakka pata hai ...par ...karegi kya woh??? Mother ko firse mere khilaf chughli karneki sochegi ????...Raghu narrowed his eyes...mm Nahi ...wo bhi janti hai ...aisa karne se kuch faida nahi honewala...aur kal rat ke bareme kuch bata nahi payegi ...agar bataygi toh khud fas jayegi...an impish grin appeared on his face. Antara ko aaj apun ke sath bahar jana hi padega ...aise nahi toh waise hi sahi...!!!
Finishing the tea he put the glass on the small table when Chilly entered mother's cottage with a really gloomy pouted face. Raghu couldn't control his lough seeing her swollen cute face. He bent down and picked up Chilly in his arm. He cradled her and asked in an amused tone...kya hua ??...Antara ne janese mana kar diya ...hmmm???
Little Chilly was enough hurt due to the cancelation of their dayout...Raghu's words exactly touched her sore point. Raguuu...Anta didi naai jayegi ...Chilly bhi naai jayegi...!!! bhooo...Chilly cried to Raghu placing her little palms on his cheeks.
Raghu : Arey apun toh socha tha ...Chilly kabhi roti woti nai...bilkul apun ke jaisa...par yeh kya Chilly toh sachme rorahi hai ...!!!
Chilly : Ragu gayee ...icekeeem ...bhooo
Chilly was so happy thinking and imagining about all the things that Raghu had promised her for the dayout few minutes back but now those same thoughts made her cry as her all hope was crushed by Antara's denial.
Raghu : Sun ...teri Anta didi kahan hai ?? apun ko bas ekbar usse bat karne de ...fir dekh ..wo kaise man jati hai...
Chilly rounded her eyes n stopped crying for few seconds n then again started crying increasing the decible.
Raghu : arey ...HUA KYA ?? firse kyun rone lagi ???
Chilly : Ragu ko Anta didi nahi milegi ...Antadidi Ragu se baat naai kayegi... bhooo
Raghu: kyun???
Chilly : kyunki didi chup gayeee aur kahan chupi Chilly naai bataygi...didi ne mana kar diya..
Raghu raised his brows : Hmm...
Mother ended the call in the mean time and turned towards Chilly and Raghu.
Mother ...wo...Antara aaj mere sath bahar janese mana kar rahi hai ...kya main kuch der ke liye usse mil sakta hun...shayad main manalu usse...Please Mother ! Raghu asked politely with a smirk on his face.
Mother looked at Crying Chilly in Raghu's arms and gave him permission with a pleasant smile.
Raghu came out of Mother's cottage with Chilly in his arms and started towards Antara's cottage with long confident strides.
He wiped the tears from her chubby cheeks with his thumb and said in a naughty tone : Antara kahan chupi hai ...yeh tu toh mereko nai bata sakti ..kya hai ki wo game mein cheating ho jayegi...Par agar apun khud usse dhund liya tab toh koi problem nahi hai na tujhe???
Chilly wiped her cheeks n gave an instant sunshine smile and shook her head at once exclaiming
happily : Naaai...!!! Chilly ko koi poblem naai !!!
Haan yeh hui na baat !!! aisehi raha kar ...kabhi roneka nahi samjhii !!! Antara ko main mana lunga !!! Raghu assured Chilly .
...Tu mereko sirf yeh bata...!!! KYA apun sahi raste pe jaraha hai ?? Raghu asked her impishly knowing Antara would be hiding in a good hideout and it would be a really troublesome and time consuming matter to find her out from this huge area of orphanage covered with enough greens, number of small ponds n even a lake along with number of cottages ,one school , one church and a huge kitchen cum dining hall for the girls. His little trick trapped little Chilly effortlessly.
Raghu : achha ...toh fir left jaun ya fir right ...? ya fir aage ya piche ??
Chilly : light
Raghu crossed Antara's cottage and strode towards the Church and looked at Chilly : hum church cross kar rahe hain ...aur abh toh jungle suru ho gaya...ek kam karte hain...sidha jungle mein ghus jate hain ...
Chilly clapped n giggled. Raghu understood his direction was correct.
Raghu : Yeh toh samne lake agaya ...abh lake mein chalang marun ?? he chuckled naughtily.
Chilly giggled more as she really enjoyed Raghu n Antara's hide n seek game. She thought she didn't break her Anta didi's promise n exclaimed cheerfully : Naaai ...!!!
Raghu: achha thik hai ...to phir teri Anta didi right mein milegi ...lake ke right shore chalte hain...
Chilly : NO !!! Ragu is wlong...hihi
Raghu : Ok !!!...left jayenge hum ...
After walking couple of minutes along the left shore of the lake, Raghu didn't need any further direction. He clearly understood where Antara's hideout could be. The left shore of the lake was filled with magnificent colourful lotuses and the boundary wall of the orphanage just got ended abruptly meeting a hill as the rocky hill was doing the job better of a boundary wall embracing the beautiful lake.
He put down Chilly asking her to go back to cottage and get ready for the dayout and promised her that he will convince Antara for the outing.
Raghu walked more through the greeneries and soon he reached near the huge lake. It was clear that this side of the orphanage was surrounded with this huge lake. He liked the place.
The tranquil deep greenish blue water of the lake with hundreds of colourful lotuses floating here n there ...the morning cold breeze filled with pleasant lotus aroma ...the clear sunny blue sky ...the singing of the chirpy birds among the trees ...the soft murmur of the dried leaves beneath his feet ...enchanted him. Raghu sensed the beautiful nature was providing him directions only towards Antara in a silent mystic way. He felt he could almost feel her presence and aroma but to his dismay Antara was still not seen anywhere.
Plentiful of large and medium boulders on the lake were half immerged in the water in such a pattern as if it was a lotus-clad way inside the lake inviting him to go deeper. Raghu jumped on a boulder softly from the shore and then looked around. He was sure Antara was here somewhere but where is she? There were only water n lotuses seen around him.
He jumped on few more boulders and moved further inside the lake and suddenly he noticed that a few feet away a giant boulder slanting on the rocky hill in such a manner that it created a pretty large shell like place inside hidden from the shore. A person standing on the shore would not be able to even guess that inside the lake there could be such a cosy place to hide. A wayward grin appeared on his face. With muted steps he advanced further and the sceen in front of him just made him spellbound rightaway.
Antara was sitting on the base of the secret shell surrounded with lotuses totally hidden from rest of the world like a nymph. Her back was resting on the wall of the boulder. She had folded her one knee and her other leg was stretched out loosely so that her bare soft foot was touching the lake water mildly. She was writing something in a notebook resting it on her thigh. Her thick mehgini brown long hair flowed carelessly to her front covering her half torso upto her waist. She was wearing a peach color simple short cotton kurti and a Patiala in which she herself looked like a blooming untouched lotus flower. She seemed confident about her hideout and looked relaxed happy and engrossed in writing something with a faint content smile on her face...her big brown innocent eyes fixed on her notebook.
Raghu just two boulders away from Antara...kept on staring at her forgetting the world behind him. His lips parted...pleasant breeze came and caressed his hair making them ruffled. He didn't know how long he was like that gazing at her without blinking. He didn't know why his heart raced and skipped beats seeing her alone in that heavenly tranquil beautiful place. In his whole twenty-five years of life he had never experienced this sort of feeling... neither he had been a part of such a mesmeric scene. His whole being wanted just one thing at that moment and that was seeing her smiling happily and contently endlessly in front of him. He realised he had never seen Antara smiling in front of him until this moment. He felt time had stopped there in between them.
He would have stood there for the entire day just looking at her but suddenly Antara stopped writing closing her notebook and swiped her hand in the lake and splashed water carelessly. The water droplets touched Raghu and broke his trance completely.
At that very moment, Antara too peeped behind from her shell and her eyes got locked with Raghu's deep black intense eyes. She looked as if she didn't believe that it was Raghu standing just two boulders away from her hideout. He was in a pair of dark denim ,a white shirt and a greenish grey lether jacket...his intense deep eyes fixed on her ...his thick black hair ruffled in the morning breeze making him look like a wayward kid contrasting his matured intelligent face. His whole being radiated epitome of youth, extreme physical fitness and vigour along with his stubborn focused nature...no doubt it was Raghunath himself standing on the nearest boulder just a few feet away her hideout but with an unusual fresh amused face.
Few long moments passed, Antara blinked twice and it seemed fear n anxiety hit her at once as she registered the reality in her front. Her brown beautiful eyes started widening emanating terror. She stood up wobbly and in the process, her pencil slipped from her trembling hand n drowned into the lake. She clutched her notebook to her chest as if it was her most precious possession in her life and frenetically looked here and there for an immediate escape.
Raghu ended the distance between them jumping on the final two boulders and reached her hidden shell at once. He stood in front of her with a wicked grin n said : Apunke sath Hide and Seek khel rahithi...hmmm??? tujhe kya laga tha Raghunath tereko dhund nahi payega aur chala jayega??? Antara turned her raged face away from him.
He took a step further and she stepped back immediately to feel the rock wall colliding her back...making it obvious that escaping from Raghu was now impossible.
Raghu's eyes shifted from her face and moved down to her chest. Raghu noticed she was trying hard to conceal the notebook with her both hands...an old ragged notebook.
Raghu frowned. What was there in the notebook that she was so keen to hide it from him? Why it seemed so precious to her than anything in the world? What was she writing there so contently n now wanted to conceal it wholly from him??? He felt a burn in his heart...he couldn't reason out why.
He looked at her once n snatched the notebook from her clutch all of a sudden making her completely dazed.
He was about to open it and go through the pages when Antara cried out : Meri notebook mujhe wapas karo ...!!!!
Naai karta !!! kya karlegi tu ???...Raghu raised his eyebrows in an impish arrogance.
Enraged Antara tried to snatch it away from him and Raghu moved the notebook from his one hand to other...front and back ...up and down...swiftly and skilfully making Antara miserably unsuccessful each time. Antara stopped exhausted... panting hard and then again tried harder. Raghu seemed enjoying her struggle a lot and chuckled naughtily seeing her in vain again.
Itni bhi kya khas hai yeh fati notebook jo mari jarahi hai iske liye ...hmm??? Raghu asked her finally imprisoning her by wraping her waist with his one hand. Mereko janna hai tu isme kya likhrahithi...Raghu looked deep into her furious eyes.
She shook her head protesting hard...Nai ...main nai bataungi tumhe !!!...tum hote koun ho mere??? ...koi haq nahi hai tumhe mere bareme janneki!!! Samjhe tum Raghu !!! her voice thick in revulsion.
Raghu's eyes hardened, jaws flexed and grip on her tightened...Honewala Pati hun main tera !! aur usi haq se aaj tereko apne sath bahar le jayunga ...Raghu was surprised to hear what he was uttering. He further said arrogantly ...chahe isme teri marzi ho ya na ho...aaj tu mere sath bahar jayegi. Aur abh aagar tu mereko nahi bataygi yeh notebook kyun khas hai tere liye ...to main ...ABHi isse fenk dunga pani mein...fir bhar mein jayegi tu aur teri yeh notebook...! Raghu's voice was harsh cruel and lethal.
Tum haq ki bat kar rahe ho ??? tumhe pata bhi hai ...ek honewala pati kaise behave karta hai uske honewali patni se?? Antara squirmed in his hold madly . ...Shadi kya hai... kyun ki jati hai tumhe zara bhi ahsaans hai??? Antata took a deep breath ...Ek ladka aur ladki tabhi pati patni bante hai jab unke beech pyar ho ...ek dusre ke liye bharosa aur samman ho ...aur ...aur tum ...hhh...jabse mere zindegi mein aye ho bas mujhe darake pareshan karke rakhha hai ...meri haan ya na ki tumhe koi parwa hi nahi...MUJHE MERI NOTEBOOK WAPAS KARO RAGHU !!! AUR JAO meri ZINDEGI se ...!!!
Raghu's jaws hardened like it was made of stone...eyes darkened more ...but not a bit of emotion flickered in them for a second... his grip on her tightened beyond she could bear but he uttered nothing. Keeping his killer penetrating hard gaze intact on her, he motioned his hand to throw the notebook most ruthlessly into the deep water. Antara in his grip clutched his jacket with her both hands n shuddered moaning hard anticipating the throw.
Yeh notebook meri Momma ki hai ...!!! Antara exclaimed in a voice that emanated acute fear and indignance at the same time. Unhone jab mujhe is orphanage ke bahar chodithi ...toh sirf yeh notebook ...unki nishani...hhh... mere liye chod kar gayithi ...Yeh meri Momma ki nishani hai ...akhri nishani ...Raghu ise pani me mat feko ...hhh...yeh mujhe dedo ...Please...!!! Antara pleaded to him pulling his jacket in her fists.
Slowly Raghu loosened his grip on her and then slid the notebook inside his shirt maintaining his hard stare at her. Yeh notebook abh mere pas rahegi...he stated flatly. Apun ke sath khushi khushi Pura DIN ke liye chalne ko razi ho ja ...raat ko tujhe teri notebook wapas mil jayegi...WARNA !!!
Antara turned around facing her back towards Raghu n leaned her body on the rock wall...as if she could only complain her all griefs to this unvoiced rock wall...her forehead touching the hard wall...her palms resting on it. She was trembling a bit...she sobbed helplessly...mm...mere sath kyun aisa kar raheho ...??? Raghu grabbed her wrist and yanked her hard to face him making her gasp hard.
He looked deep through her wet lush eyelashes n ordered fatally ...Chal !!!..his deep dominating voice shook her to the core...the weird sensation in her legs creeped into her system and made her feel worse. She stumbled as Raghu pulled her n collapsed on the rocky floor as her legs stopped supporting her and crumpled down as if they were made of jelly.
*******************************************************************************************************
Yeyyy ...Anta didi maan gayeee ...maan gayeee...Ragu ne Anta didi ko mana liya ...little Chilly was more than happy ...perfectly ready for her dayout wearing her little sunny dress.
Nandini , Stella and Matron were standing outside their cottage when Antara came back from her hideout along with Raghu...her palm imprisoned in his hand...steps wobbled ...face pale and grimaced.
Matron came forward and wished Raghu a very good morning...Mother ne kaha tha tumhare bareme ...aaj mulakat bhi hogaya. Beta kuch der betho yehan ...hum abhi Antara ko taiyar kar dete hain...
Raghu smiled at Matron ...nahi aunty iski zarurat nahi hai ...Antara jaisi hai bilkul thik hai...taiyar waiyar honeki zarurat nahi.
Matron : Nai beta...shadi se pahle pahlibar dono bahar jarahe ho ...Mother ki permission bhi mil gayi ...ladki ko thoda taiyar honahi chahiye ...Stella !!! tab tak Raghunath ka khayal rakho !
Saying this Matron grabbed Antara n was about to take her inside the cottage when Antara blurted out...Matron ...mmm...Please ...her voice dried but still she uttered with all her courage...mmm...mujhe zara bhi taiyar nahi hona ...RR...Raghu bhi toh yehi chahta hai na ?
Matron was shocked n surprised...her bemused face declared she was not at all ready to hear such an opposite desire from Antara who was going for a dayout with her would be hubby...this was not normal ...generally girls do like to dress up in such opportunities...and here Antara seemed to react just the opposite.
Nandini shook her head in fear anticipating Matron's after reaction. Stella opened her mouth in surprise and then a cunning smile appeared on her face... She looked at Raghu top to bottom with a lust in her eyes and thought ...WOW !!! itne hot ladke ke sath uss behenji ? ...iske liye to sirf main hi perfect hun. Bas ek sahi mouka mil jaye... main toh ise yun pata lun...Stella kisi bhi ladke ko ghayel kar sakti hai !!! aur iss Raghu ko pane ke liye toh kuch bhi kar sakti hai...Pata nahi Raghu ne iss most ordinary Antara me dekha hi kya ??? kya Raghu ko pata hai Bahenji ki pairo ke bareme ? sunega toh bhag jayega ...shayad uss Robin bhi isiliye bhag gaya ...!!! Stella made a conclusion of Robin's refusal to Antara.
Raghu looked at Matron, Antara and then Chilly. Little Chilly came running and grabbed his hand ...again pouting her little face. Matron twitched her neck towards Raghu and then said in a sorry voice...Maaf karna beta ...yeh ladki nadaan hai ...iske liye kya achha hai aur kya bura ise pata nahi ...
Matron rolled her eyes n tightened her grip on Antara's hand : Oh God ! bewakufi karna kab bandh karogi tum Antara???...andar chalo tumhe taiyar hona hai ...kitni mushkil se ek achha ladka milta hai anath ladki ki shadi ke liye ...aur tum sabkuch barbaad karne par tuli ho...Mother kitni hurt hongi yeh toh socho !!!
Antara lost her mind totally ...she twisted her hand n tried to breakfree n cried :...mmm...mujhe kuch nahi sochna ...hhh...main jarahi hun ...
The sound of a tight hard slap was heard just the next second and Antara was found on the ground warped. Nandini gasped ...Chilly hugged Raghu's knees and Stella threw an evil grin towards Antara.
Matron grabbed Antara harshly ...pulled her up and steered her into the cottage with Nandini following them.
Raghu's fists balled ...jaws flexed. The whole thing happened so fast and unexpected that he could not stop Matron from hurting her. Something sharp invisible inside him squeezed his heart and compelled him to follow them inside the cottage...he felt he couldn't let this happen with His Antara the next time. He cursed himself for not being able to save her from her Matron's wrath. Things should be stopped and taken under control right away...he felt.
He pushed open the door and his mind revolted ..."Meri Antara" ??? yeh apun kya soch raha hai ...aur kyun ??? He tried to rectify or rather console muttering to himself ...it was a mistake Raghunath ...MISTAKE !!!..."Meri Antara" nahi "Meri Target Antara"...YUP ...she is my target! ...target !...only Target !...just an another five crore deal...a lil bit different and interesting deal !!!
Raghu entered the cottage room and the moment he saw her warped on her bed ...he forgot everything. With long two strides he went near her ...sat on her bed and cupped her face...dard horaha hai ??? his voice was soft deep and repenting. Antara raised her teary questioning eyes and looked into those deep magnetic eyes...eyes which were not emotionless now...she could see his pain and a weird restlessness in them. She blinked once...a huge drop of tear ran down her face caressing his thumb.
She felt Raghu was moving her hair from her face and his fingers were caressing her aching cheek, jaw and neck. To her wonder she found his touch on her was most warm and ardent...WHAT the HELL !!! How could she feel so...OH God hows that even possible??? ...this was the same Raghu who ate cake from her face so ruthlessly so shamelessly...this was the same Raghu who forcefully carried her away from her orphanage and locked her up in his deadly car in the midnight...this was the same Raghu who did that wayward behaviour in the mall making her terrified to the core...and then sending that saree gift with that weird eeiry note. She squeezed her eyes shut as the reminiscence of his burning touch sent a chilled feeling ran down her spine. NO !!!...she shouldn't forget any of these for a single second...how could she???
But surprisingly her each n every hold-up against Raghu ...each fear was being faded away as she was feeling better and an impossible relaxation soothing her whole being as Raghu's fingers caressed her sitnging skin while he checked her. Raghu was not hesitated a single bit checking Antara in front of Matron and the other two girls Nandini and Stella. Whatever he did ...he did it so confidently and calmly...as if he had every damn right on her.
Antara didn't know why it felt so right even if everything about him was so wrong... but she was determined she had to stop this feeling inside her conquering her mind body and soul ...she had to stop Raghu. A severe rage was occupying her mind... as she found herself so weak against that feeling as if she was getting addicted more n more every second with him... knowing pathetically every bit of his was dangerous to her. She took a deep breath and glowered at him...she held his wrists firmly and steadily threw his hands away from her face...
Teri yeh jo gussa hai na ...isse abhi kuch der ke liye hold kar ke rakh ...Samjhi !!! ...Raghu said her in a muted husky tone and turned to face Matron. He stood up and stared at Matron's hard face and said in a calm unaltered voice : Antara meri honewali Patni hai ...Apun nahi chahta ...koibhi ...matlap koibhi ...KISI bhi baat pe uspe hath uthaye...Antara sirf aur sirf Meri responsibility hai...main handle kar lunga .
The three girls dropped their mouth wide open. They have never seen anyone talking against Matron with such calm raged arrogance.
Matron stared back at Raghu with her ultra hard attitude and snorted back... :...JAB shadi hogi tab iski puri zimmedari hum tumpe sopenge !!!...par aaj wo sirf hamari beti hai ...uske liye achha bura sochna hamari zimmedari hai...jitni waqt aaj wo tumhare sath bitaygi iss orphanage ke bahar uss poore waqt uski zimmedari hum tumhe dete hain...par uske aage aur piche shadi hone tak Antara hamari hai...iss Orphanage ki beti...yani sirf hamari zimmedari.
Tum cottage ke bahar wait karo. Antara taiyar hoke niklegi.
Raghu listened to Matron with a stony face n then noded silently. He looked at Antara once who was staring blankly at nowhere and then left the cottage immediately. Stella followed him quietly.
Matron closed the door behind them and picked up a packet lying on the bed. Mere pas padi thi ...purani hai par socha tumpar acchi lagegi ...pahenlo ise...: Matron looked at Antara and ordered in a comperatively soft voice. Nandini opened it and out came a beautiful soft yellow saree. Matron !!! Antara saree nahi pahenti...wo thik se chal nahi pati saree pahnke...Nandini's worried soft voice was heard.
Ek dobar problem hogi ...fir thik ho jaygi ... fikar mat karo Nandini ...chalo abh jaldise Antarako achhese taiyar kardo...Matron ended the conversation.
********************************************************************************************************
Raghu was waiting for Antara outside her cottage sitting on a chair under the big mango tree with Chilly on his lap. Little Chilly was playing with his fingers and Raghu was looking at the closed door every now and then being a bit restless. He tried to listen if there were again any beating sound coming from the closed door. His mobile beeped. There was a message from an unknown number...Marry her by this Friday.
Raghu sighed and slid his fingers through his thick hair...: Shadi ke liye manegi tab to karunga shadi !!! char din ka time deke ek message bhej diya salene !!! bas ek bar Antara meri haath ajaye fir dekhtahun iss chupe rustam ko ...akhir yeh chahta kya hai ??? kyun usse Antara married chahiye ??? aur sabse important baat usse ANTARA chahiye KYUN hai ???? Client se bina mile bina jane Raghunath koi bhi deal khatam nahi karta !!! Bas ekbar ANtara meri hath aa jaye ... Raghunath ko achhi tarah se pata hai kounsa nas dabane se wo chupa rustam apna kounsa sach uglega...a crooked smile appeared on his face.
Stella came in front of Raghu with a mug of piping hot coffee holding in her hand. Khas coffee !!!...Stella ki hathon ki banee ...khas Raghu ke liye !!!...she said in a seductive voice standing in a perfect sedutive posture ...streaching her hand gracefully towards Raghu offering him the coffee. No doubt she was a damn attractive girl in a blue knee length skirt and a round neck blouse. Her short redish hair matched her clever sharp brown eyes and a pair of full lips.
Raghu squinted at her and then said in a husky playful voice : coffee kuch zada hi garam hai !!!
Thik hai ...coffee thandi hone tak hum ek dusreko jaan lenge ...achha mouka hai yeh...Stella said enthusiastically. Flattered by Raghu's playful attitude she pulled a chair beside him and sat on it. Chilly hoisted herself a bit on Raghu's lap to reach his ear and whispered in a serious tone:... Gandi Stella !!! Raghu cradeled her and whispered back in her ear : Pata hai mereko!!!... Chilly giggled happily and Raghu winked at her secretly.
Irritated by Chilly's giggle, Stella decided to come to her point without wasting any further time. She straightened herself and snorted out ...Raghu tumhe kuchh sach batana hai...Antara ke bareme ...jo abhi tak tumhe pata nahi...am sure...!!!
Raghu looked at her with a questioning frown.
Antara ki pairo mein problem hai...sahi shabdo mein kaha jai toh Antara apaheej hai ...chal nahi pati ...uske pair hamesha hi uska sath chod deti hai ...kabhi adha ek ghanta ...kabhi adha din ...toh kabhi kabhi do din tak chal nahi pati...tumne usse chalte firte dekha aur soch lia ki wo ek normal si ladki hai ...par asal mein hai ek musibat...socho shadi ke baad har do din baad agar aisa hua to tumhari zindegi pe KYA asar hoga ??? Orphanage ki har ek insaan yeh baat janti hai...yehan tak ki yeh Chilly bhi janti hai ...aur dekho tumhe abhtak kuch bataya hi nahi gaya ...
Bechara Robin ...wo toh Antara ko bohot pasand karta tha ...par jab use pata chala toh use chod kar chala gaya ...main toh kahti hun bilkul sahi kiya ...
Raghu ! ...she gave a seductive look at him ...tumhare paas toh option hai ...I mean better option !!! Why don't you go for it??? Stella stared at Raghu expecting a triumph.
Raghu's eyes darkened and face became grimaced. The scene just an hour ago at Antara's hideout in the lake flashed in front of his eyes...Antra stumbled as he pulled her hand and crumpled down as if her legs had stopped her supporting. Raghu looked down at her and saw a face that showed acute helplessness shame and humiliation accompanied with fear. He uttered nothing but again yanked her ruthlessly but she pleaded to him ...Please thodi der baad chalte hain...thodi der ruk jao yehan !!! Raghu please...
There was something in her eyes so truthful and painful ...Raghu stopped. He left her hand softly and moved aside resting his back on the rock facing Antara. The time again stopped for Raghu. Antara was half lying with her back slanted on another side of the rock wall...her legs curled layed on the ground still as if those were not her limbs. Her untidy hair covered her face partially and scattered on her body and the rocky floor. She looked pale and sick ...her eyes shut closed...her chest heaved up and down as she panted hard. After half an hour or so Antara opened her eyes slowly. She sat up and consciously straightened her kameez n stood up weakly. She raised her eyes to him once and said in a feeble voice...:thank you...meri baat maan neke liye... !
Raghu looked at the coffee mug in Stella's hold and said in an arrogant fierce tone : Coffee thandi ho
ya garam !...mereko zara bhi pasand nahi !...TUm ...ja sakti ho apne coffee ke sath !!!
Stella flared her nose in severe fury, rejection and disappointment. She snarled at Raghu ...PACHTAOGE TUM !!! Antarake bareme jaanneke bad bhi agar tumhe koi fark nahi padraha toh iska matlap tumhare iraade kuch aur hai...tumhe Antara se SHADI se KOI matlap NNAAHIII !!!
Raghu's eyes flickered rage for a fraction of a second then became completely calm cold and expressionless. Stella got confused looking at his cold emotionless stony facade. She gulped being sure that there must be some hidden strong reasons for Antara being so keen to avoid Raghu and avoid this marriage and Raghu being so stubborn to get her.
Stella opened her mouth to say something more but stopped as the door clicked softly and out came Antara following Matron and Nandini. A soft yellow febric was mesmerizingly hugging her delicate beautiful curves making her look beyond beautiful ...just breathtaking. Raghu raised his eyes at her and his eyes which were expressionless just a second before emanated deep fascination...his flexed jaws relaxed n his stony heartless face changed to a young boy's face who was head over heal attracted to a girl...his lips automatically got parted as he stared at her forgetting to blink.
Her hair was washed and arranged tidily. Part of her deep mehgini smooth thick straight hair was flowing down her front in one side and rest on her back. Above her neckline a slick golden thread was caressing her soft buttery skin. Her brown eyes had a tinge of kajal there enhancing her long eyelashes look more lush and black. Her naturally pink petals like lips now had a slight sheen of butter. Her soft yellow saree covered most of her body parts but revealed her shapely waist partially. The neckline of her blouse was deeper than her usual clothes had and revealed a lot of her bare shoulder, neck and a bit of her perfect delicate beauty, which her pallu covered most aesthetically. Her wrists had few yellow glass bangles, which made a sweet feeble sound of her knick-knack whenever she moved her hands.
Raghu sat still on the chair holding little Chilly on his lap with his lips apart forgot to breathe completely. Chilly hopped a bit on his lap and stated proudly ...Meyi Anta Didi !!!... taiya ho ke aa gayee...sabshe pyayi...hai na Ragu ??? Spellbound Raghu admitted in an amused tone :... Haan ...!!!
Stella glowered at Antara once and then at Raghu and then stomped away from there.

Mother Nandini Charlie and Matron all gave their company upto the main Gate of Nibholi orphanage to Raghu Antara n lillte Chilly. Raghu's SUV Duster was waiting outside the territory of Nibholi orphanage.
Antara ka khayal rakhna Raghu...aur han!!! yeh Chilly bohot hi shararti hai ...ANtara aur Raghu tum dono milke iski dhyan rakhoge ...aur sham ko saat bajnese pahle lout ayoge...thik hai !!...Matron gave her order cum advice to Raghu and Antara both and left.
Mother and Charlie both caressed Antara's hair and bid them good bye. Nandini gave a quick hug to Antara and chuckled in her ear ...darneki koi zarurat nahi ...Raghu utna bhi bura nahi jitna tu samajhti hai ! Aur haan saree samhal lena ek din ke liye.
