Recap:- Mystery singer revealed.
“Kabir!”, I called. He turned towards me but didn’t say anything. I could not see him like this, all my strength that I collected got blown away and I bursted out crying. “Hey! Please don’t cry, I can’t see you like this. I know it’s all because of me, I shouldn’t have kissed you but please, please don’t cry Antara. If you want, scold me, even beat me but please don’t cry. I know, I have hurted you but trust me I’m not such type of guy, I didn’t do that in any wrong sense. Please forgive me. Please don’t break our friendship, I can’t live without you. Only I know, how have I spent these last days without you.”, he was continuously speaking. The truth sounded like a thunder. He was guilty because he thought I was angry with him. Oh my Gosh! What was I thinking till now! This stupid Kabir almost gave me a minor heart-attack. I looked into his eyes, and my eyes gleamed, it was not only care that I saw, there was love, immense love. I should make him admit it. But, how? I wondered. Before I could speak anything, someone called me out.
“Aadesh!”, I said shocked as I turned to see, none other than him. But, his presence didn’t affect me anymore. I had no emotions left for him, not even of hatred. Unaware of this, Kabir held my hand to give me strength, to protect me.“What are you doing here? Wait, how did you know that I’m here?”, I interrogated but there was no panic in my voice. Getting that I was fine, Kabir tried loosening the grip on my hand, but I held it firmly. “I wanted to meet you Antara, I was searching you everywhere and then I found your address finally but when I came I saw you in this balcony, and I came here.”, He told. “Why do you want to meet me?”, I asked further. “Can we talk alone?”, He asked. At first, Kabir stood there still giving him a stern look, but then I don’t know what struck his mind that he gestured to move. “Kabir, you’re not going anywhere.”, I said in a demanding tone. Aadesh looked at me boggled. Kabir’s expressions were also somewhat similar. “Whatever you want to say, speak it here itself. Neither Kabir nor me, no one is going anywhere.”, I said looking at Aadesh. “As you say, look Antara, I know what I did was wrong, in fact, shameful, and I’m really very sorry for that. That day when I saw you in Jessy’s party, I realised my mistake. Please forgive me.”, He spoke. “Is that what you wanted to say? If it’s over then you can go, I don’t have any issues with you.”, I replied to which both of them gave me a shocked look. “Antara, what are you saying?”, Kabir said puzzled. “You just stay out of it!”, Aadesh yelled at Kabir. And, doing that, he made a big blunder. How dared he shout on my Kabir? My fists tightened in fury but before I could react, he continued, “I knew it, you still love me Antara. Now, we’ll start our new life, we’ll again set the market on fire by our super hit albums. Tell me Antara, you were still waiting for me, ain’t you?” My gaze turned to Kabir, I wondered why didn’t he say anything to him, but what I saw pained me, Kabir’s eyes were wet, so stupid he is, he took that jerk’s words seriously. “You want your answer right?”, I asked to which he nodded. I looked at Kabir and pressed my lips against his’. He got shocked first, then tried to resist and finally gave in. Yippee, I won! He loves me and he’s such a sweetheart. “Antara, what the hell!”, Aadesh shouted but we continued without paying any heed to him. Getting out of breath, we finally pulled out. “I hope you got your answer.”, I said breathing heavily. “You, B**ch!”, He muttered and Boom! Kabir punched him sharply on his face. “How dare you, you bl**dy wreck! A single word against her, and I’ll sue you.”, he yelled. “Before he kills you, I suggest, you zoom off and Don’t ever show me your face again. Oh Wait!”, I said and gifted him a tight slap. “This was for shouting on my Kabir and yes, also, for trying to fool me again. Now, just get out of my sight.”, I said gnashing.
As he left, I turned back to Kabir and gifted him a slap too. Of course a light one. “Ouch! But, why me?”, He asked cutely. But, I was really angry with him, and after all why shouldn’t I be, such an idiot he is! “Because you said I can beat you, remember?”, I said. He nodded. Oh my gosh! He’s surely going to be the death of me, Cuteness Overloaded! Come on! Antara do not melt, my brain warned. Yeah, I’ve to focus and then I gifted the second slap. He didn’t utter anything. “Won’t you ask, this one’s for what.”, I said. “For what?”, He asked. “This was for being so stupid, for saying sorry for kissing me.”, I replied and then the third. “And, this one because…”, I paused, “because, I love you Kabir.”, I finally confessed. He looked at me lovingly and then spoke what I was dying to hear. “But, I don’t love you.”, He finally said, wait! what? What did he say? I guess I heard wrong, this was not I wanted to hear. “Come again. I heard something wrong.”, I said in disbelief. “You heard it right. I don’t love you Antara.”, He said which almost made me choke. “You’re joking right? You’re annoyed with me because I slapped you. Don’t do this Kabir, slap me if you want but Don’t do this please. I’ll die.”, I said sobbing when he placed his fingers on my lips. “Don’t even say that again. I don’t love you Antara, because I love you Ms. Stranger.”, He said and an evil grin adorned his lips. And, next what I showered my punches on him, he almost scared the crap outta me and I bursted into tears. “Hey!”, He said and engulfed me in a bone-crushing hug. “I love you Ms. Stranger and now no more tears. You don’t have any idea how much precious they are!”, He said huskily. Pulling out I looked into his eyes and replied, “I love you too, My Mr. Stranger.” Finally, I got my love, my true love. “By the way, Sainty is such a ridiculous name.”, I said to which he scratched his forehead and we burst out laughing and he took me again in his arms.
