Chapter No 28:-It was 4 in the morning when someone switched on the lights of raghu's room. Raghu got irritated.
Raghu:- "ee kon hai bay?"
Someone:- "ji main hn.."
Hearing that voice he got up it was Antara she was standing at the door.
Antara:- "raghu Kaisay hain ap?"
Raghu got up and sat on the bed he smiled looking at her .. He was all lost in him in his smile when he heard a banging sound. It was as if someone was banging on the door.
Mrs. Naik:- "raghu beta Uth ja. 8 baj gayai jana Nhn hai.."
Hearing this raghu got up and sat up on the bed. He looked at the door near the switch everywhere but there was no sign of Antara in the room. He hitted his head remembering it was a dream.
Raghu:- "kia yeda hogaya hai... Kuch bhi sochta hai.. Woh toh abhi apna kaam kar rahi hogi teray kamray mein q Ayai gi?"
Raghu opened his door of the room and went out. He saw antara's balcony door was open but there was no sign of Antara. He went inside took a bag and started to pack. He kept his clothes for wedding and his shoes.. Some watches and perfumes he needed. Then he took his clothes and went to shower. Rasika was in her room when her phone rang.
Rasika:- "Haab meray Machu kaisay ho?"
MachMach:- "main theek hoon janeman tum batao!? Pack kar lia kapra wasta Sab?"
Rasika:- "Haan kar lia.. Abhi Bas jwellery select kar rahi thi. Antara say bhi thdi li hai.."
MachMach:- "kia woh log bhi chalay gain?"

MachMach:- "chal acha hai bhai khush rahay ga.."
Rasika:- "kia matlab hai tumhara?"
MachMach:- "Haan na jab bhi Antara bhai kay pas hotay bhai khush rehta hai.. Tu jo kehti hai na kuch toh hai Sab hai..."
Rasika laughed hearing this and suddenly she saw Mrs. Naik coming.
Rasika:- "acha Machu mujhay phone rakhna Mila arahi hain umah.. I love u bye."
Before MachMach would say anything she hung up.
Mrs. Naik entered Rasika's room.
Mrs. Naik:- "rasika beta hogaya Sab? Main raghu kay room mein Gai thi woh Uth gaya pack bhi kar chuka aur toh aur Naha kar free bhi hogaya.. Aur ek baat uskay mu par ek smile thi."
Rasika was just looking at her mom blankly.
Mrs. Naik:- "ajeeb hai aj say Pehlay na woh itna Jaldi utha na pack kia aur smile toh kabhi bhi Nhn.. Mujhay toh kuch gharbar lag rahi hai.."
Rasika:- "aray Nhn mama aj hum dada ji kay pas jarahay hain shahyad khush hoga."

Rasika:- "aray Maa tnsn q lay rahi ho beta bara hogaya aur khush hai toh aur bhi acha hai.."
Mrs. Naik sighed.
Mrs. Naik:- "Bhagwan karay Hamesha khush rahay inkay(mr.naik) kay anay kay baad gusay mein rehta.
The mother daughter talk was inturrepted by a bus honk.
Rasika:- "'mama bus agai."
Mrs. Naik:- "Haan Sab ko main bolti hoon tu ja kar Antara kay parivar ko bol aur apna smab kay ja.."
Rasika:- "theek hai mama.."
With that she took her bag and went to antara's house.
At kaul house:-
Antara woke up early today. She payed in the morning after shower. She did the packing for ishu and herself. Antara and her family just finished the breakfast when the door bell rang.
Antara:- "main dekhti hoon."
She got up an opened the door. It was rasika.
Rasika:- "good morning rasika at your service. Is ur stuff packed.?"
Antara:- "ohh yes it's all packed."
Both laughed and rasika came inside. She greeted all and told that te bus came. Antara told that these are the only two bags to be taken. Rasika told ishan to come down.
Antara:- "rasika aik baat pocho ?"
Rasika:- "Haan pocho?"
Antara:- "tumharay dada ji ko bura Nhn lagay ga.."
Rasika:- "aray Nhn unko q bura lagay ga.."
Antara:- "paka !?"
Rasika:- "haaan Paka.."
Antara:- "ok.."
Antara and Rasika went to bus where raghu was standing shouting.
Raghu:- "ee pakya sambhal kar sara saman rakh upar."
Rasika:- "bhai Yeh Antara logon kay bags hain Yeh bhi."
Raghu:- "thamba thamba.. Rakhwala hoon."
He said without turning. Antara and Rasika went to the bus where aaji in the front, mrs. Naik and Mr. Naik and Mr. Kaul and Mrs. Kaul were sitting opposite to each other. Rasika and Antara came up and took the seats behind. Ishan was sitting ahead of them playing games. MachMach entered and took his seat opposite to rasika . She smiled looking at her Machu.. Raghu then came and gave the keys to his mom. He stepped more in and saw Antara. Antara was sitting on the window side while raghu gestured MachMach to keep his seat. Antara was sitting quietly and rasika was looking at his brother who at that moment was not in the world. He was lost in her. She was looking perfect. Suddenly the bus started to move and raghu had a thud. He was about to fall when ishu held his hand.
Ishan:- "Raghu bhaiya ap meray pas baith jao na.. Main akela hoon.."
Raghu:- "chal theek hai.. Ee MachMach idhar akar baith.."
He said indicating towards the seat opposite to MachMach.
Raghu:- "ishu tum andar hojao main bahir baith jata hoon."
Ishan moved in and raghu sat with him. MachMach gave a sad look to rasika and came ahead.
MachMach:- "salay ne bolaya aur jiju ne pura dunya hila dia.. Abhi apni janeman ko kaise dekho ga.!"
Raghu was able to see Antara from there. He was stealing glances of her after some time. The journey started. Rasika and Antara were talking. They left the shop to raghu's boys who will check it regularly. They were talking to create a website.
It was one and half hour after the journey started.
Mrs. Kaul:- "bacho ko poch lo unko kuch khana hai?"
Raghu:- "ishan kuch khayai ga?"
Ishan:- "Haan raghu bhaiya bohat bhook lagi hai.."
Raghu:- "MachMach tu kia khayai ga?"
MachMach:- "jo bhi khila do bhook mast lagi hui hai.."
Raghu turned towards the girls who were busy in talking.
Raghu:- "rasika tu aur Antara kia khao gi?"
Rasika:- "bhai aik mint.."
Rasika:- "bhai poch rahay hain kia khao gi?"
Antara:- "aray main batoon batoon mein bhul Gai main ne kachoriyan bnai thi Ruko main mama ko kehti
Hoon.."
Antara gets up and comes out of the seat.
She was taking her steps carefully when the bus stop put a hard foot on the break. Antara was about to fall when she felt two strong hand holding her. As she lifted her head up she saw raghu holding her all lost in her. He was looking straight into those two hazels.
Antara:- "thank u.."
Raghu suddenly left her.
Raghu:- "welcum.."
Raghu:- "ee pakya kia hua tha re? Aisa kachra break q lagaya?"
Pakya:- "bhai woh gari kay agay gao mata(cow) agai thi."
Raghu:- "acha chal theek hai!"
With that raghu sat down on his seat.
MachMach and rasika saw all this and were laughing within.
MachMach:- "bhai apun kia bolta hai?"
Raghu:- "han bol"
MachMach:- "tereko na Bollywood mein try karna chahyai.. Aka Mumbai mein toh kia aka world mein bhi teray jaisa hero Nhn milay ga stunt bhi karta hai rom..."
Before he could complete raghu gave an angry look to him.
Antara was all shy and moved to the front where her mom was. Aaji's opposite seat was empty.
Aaji:- "Antara beta yahan baith jao warna dobara gir jao gi!"
With that aaji winked her.
Antara became all pink and sat next to her and started to unpack the food bag.
She took out the plates and started to serve kacchoris. She gave to aaji.
Aaji:- "kachoriyan aray wah.. Jeeti reh Antara".
Antara:- "thank u.."
Then she arranged a plate and gave to Mr and Mrs. Naik.
Mr. Naik:- "aray wah Antara beta kachoriyan thank u.. Lo g Sheila g kachoriyan agai Abhi ap yaad kar rahi thi.."
Mrs. Naik:- "aray thank u Antara."
Antara:- "no problem auncle aunty."
The she arranged a plate and gave to her parents. Then she took the rest of the pot and plates and came to the back side of the bus. She made a plate and gave to rasika to give to ishan raghu and MachMach.
Antara:- "agar aur chahyai hoga toh unko bolo bata daina.."
Rasika was about to open his mouth.
Raghu:- "sun lia ha."
Antara became shy while rasika gave an evil smile.
Antara:- "kia larka hai yeh.. Itna khayal rakhta hai.. Sachi mein.."
She was talking to herself.
All of them finished and took some rest. Raghu and MachMach were the only people who didn't sleep rest all were sleeping. Ishan kept his head on raghu's shoulder and slept. MachMach was looking at rasika who was sleeping keeping her head on antara's shoulder. Raghu was stealing glances of Antara who was sleeping keeping head on her head. Raghu was smiling at that childish face she made when she sleeps.
Raghu:- "ee bappa Yeh mujhay kia hota ja raha hai mujhse aik pal bhi Nhn guzarta usay dekhay bagair."
