He ringed the bell and waited for her to open up. When she opened the door as usual she greeted him with a heartwarming smile. Her eyes full of love and longing for him. He felt guilty that he was feeling drawn towards Radhika and hurting Aisha by making her feel unimportant in his life.

She wraps her arm around him and whispers, "I missed you."

He pulls back and says, "You won't invite me in?!"

She opens the door wide and gets out of his way. He walks in and instructs her to close the door which she readily does. He takes off his overcoat and loosens first few buttons of his shirt.

She asks,"So what would you like to have?!"

He shakes his head, "Nothing just wanted to spend some time with you."

She pushes him down on the sofa and sits beside him. She snuggles closer to him and says,"Why so formal?!"

He plays with her short shoulder length hair curling them around his fingers. He answers,"No just a bit tired and exhausted."

She takes his hand in hers and whispers, "Look at our hands...my hand fits in your hand perfectly."

He chuckles,"Are you trying to show me reasons why we should be together?!"

She nods and says sincerely,"I love you and I want a life with you."

In a split of second, his hand slips out of her hold and she loses his warmth too. He stands up and looks back at her with a cold expression,"Aisha don't start now."

She straightens up and her eyes shooting daggers at him,"What do you mean?! Why can't I dream about my future with you?! Do I not deserve to be happy with the man I love?!"

He laughs darkly, "But the man you love isn't capable of fulfilling any of your dreams. And moreover stop dreaming foolish things. You are at the peak of your career stop ruining it."

She turns him towards her with a jerk. She looks straight into his eyes and says in a low hurt tone, "You think I love my career more than you?! You ask me once to leave all this for you....I'll do it without any second thoughts."

He signs, "I am never gonna do it.....Though I am not a feminist still I respect your work."

She hugs him and he slowly wraps his hand around her. He strokes her head lightly and says, "Stop thinking too much."

She lifts her head from his chest and says in a hushed tone, "Do you think your mom will ever accept me?!"

The smile tugging on his lips disappears. His detaches himself from her and steps back. He looks at her, his eyes full of regret, "It's impossible now. My mom loves Radhika like her own daughter. Now she can't imagine you or someone else in her place. It's gonna be hell difficult at time of divorce."

Her eyes seething rage,"This is all because of Radhika. She shouldn't have come in to our lives."

Arjun says softly, trying to make her see sense, "This isn't her fault. Had she known what's gonna happen, She would have never shown me her face. she is not like us."

Aisha says crudely,"No it's all her fault. And why suddenly you are smitten by her?!"

He denies,"I am not smitten by her. She is a good friend of mine and I know her well."

He continues, "She is nothing like us...In fact sometimes I think she doesn't belong to this world. God!!! She is so innocent just like a kid."

She arches her brow,"Just good friend?!"

He nods. Unsurety coursing in his brain. He wasn't sure of his words but it was important to console Aisha then thinking back on his words.

She wipes her tears on her own. Her throat parch dry and her lungs burned for air as her breathing haggard. He had something for Radhika and that was clearly visible in the tone he used to talk about her. He was so soft,  relaxed and cool unlike the cold blooded Arjun Mehra she knew. But her heart refused to accept it that she was gonna lose him sooner or later but lost was inevitable.

She gets up and calmly says, "I think you should leave. I am tired and I had enough of all this."

He narrows his eyes at her. His anger barely controlled. His eyes flame with rage now. He shouts, "Really?! You called me and now you are asking me to leave. Don't forget who I am. Just because you are my girlfriend, you can't treat me like doormat. Nobody can."

She points towards the door, "Fine!! Then leave, Will you?!"

He snarls, "If you don't snap out of your mood right now this is the last time we are talking. Radhika isn't some vamp you are thinking her to be. Hell she feels hatred for herself when she thinks about you and me."

Gritting her teeth, she says, "Good for her. She should know her place."

He stares at her with disbelief,"I think you should know your place so let me remind you of the drug scandal you were caught in two years back. If not for me you would be on streets praying for death. How about I remind you of how you cheated on your ex boyfriend and lied to me that you were single that time."

She stares at him with tears filled eyes, "How could you?!"

He laughs darkly, "There is nothing I can't do except for falling hard for someone. Last but not the least how about I remind you of your inspirational motherly love for your unborn baby who you killed in your womb." He adds the last part sarcastically.

She pushes him far and yells crying harder, "It was because of you. I was hurt and I didn't know what I was doing."

He crosses his arms to his chest and says, "I wonder which mother on this planet can punish her own baby for someone else's fault."

She looks at him with pain drugged eyes, "Just go Arjun. I am sorry if I have hurt you and I'll call you once I have cooled off."

He shakes his head,"Nahi...If I go out today I am never gonna look back at you. Arjun never takes an U turn and you know that."

She remains quiet. Her heart clenches with pain in abundance. She feels like stopping him but she had no strength left.

He walks backwards and turns. He murmurs, "You are good at least better than me. I know you were young and your mind was not shaped when you lied to me for the first time. About the drug scandal, I know you were framed and that is why I saved you. I also know that your mom brainwashed you to abort our child because she thought that would be the end of your career. I can never forgive that but still our angel would always wish to see us happy and not blaming ourselves. She wants to see you happy and I wish the same. I guess it's over here. Bye Ishu...Take good care of yourself."

Ishu!!! God she was listening this name after so long and that too for the last time. She fucked up this time not him.

She stares at his retreating figure until he is out of her sight. She crashes on the bare hard floor. Tears flow like a unstoppable river. She cries but there is no one to wipe her tears. There is no shoulder to cry on this time as she lost it like it never belonged to her.

He came home and mysterious darkness greeted his arrival. But a sweet melodious song that soothed his ears made him wonder who was it singing at this hour of night. He followed the spell binding voice which led him to his own room.

He pushed open the door and his gaze travelled to the bed where the angel sat crossing her legs.

He cleared his throat and spoke, "Radhika.."

She quickly puts her finger on her lips and gestures him to be quiet pointing at the sleeping little boy in her lap.

He walks and sits beside her. He didn't wanted to show her weakness but a lump of grief was stuck in his throat. He didn't cry in front of anyone once he use to do hiding his face in his mom's blossom but that was years back. Now he was a grown up, a man who had seen the sea of his happy life dried up years ago. There was no pain he couldn't take. He felt jealous of the little Arjun who could weep so easily and let out his pain. He takes a deep breath and suck in his pain of losing a person who loved him to the moon and back. He knew Aisha loved him and could do anything to prove it but he couldn't do the same thing. He always felt torn between his family and her. He couldn't break the heart of the woman who brought him in this world for a woman who loved him with all her heart and soul. Who says it's always easy for the guys?! Even they have to make hard choices which could either make their life or scrap it off. Sans all this there was this innocent girl who had no such issues to worry about. She had so much life around her unlike him. She smiled even to those who frowned at her like he did tons of times. He fancied her but at the same time envied her too.

He stared at her with an unreadable expression,"Radhika can you sing for me?!"

She was shocked was an understatement. She felt the ground beneath her feet slipped. He is asking not ordering. But still she felt proud of herself that she could do something for him. She nods smiling warmingly.

Nindiya yeh legi tujhe thaam re

Soja de de aankhon ko aaraam re

Ke sara din chalke hai guzara

Tu uljhano ka maara

Ab jaake aayi hai yeh shaam re

This sleep will grab you
Go to sleep, rest these eyes
that you have spent the entire day walking
You are dealing with confusions
Now finally has the evening arrived

Are aa re aa re aa

Are aa re aa re (x2)

Hey come....come...come
Hey come....come...come

Teri woh baatein aa sunaaun

Baithun sirhaane loriyan main gaaun

Raahein takti hai yeh ataari

Tijon ki ghadiyan sooni hi guzari

Come let me tell you about your old incidents
I will sit by your bedside and sing lullaby
They look for your return at Ataari
I have spent the days of Teej (festival) alone

Saare nazaare yeh baharein

Hai tujhi pe waare

All these sights and these monsoon seasons
are sacrificed for you

Khwabon ne bheja ye pegaam re

Soja de de aankhon ko aaraam re

Ke sara din chalke hai guzara

Tu uljhano ka maara

Ab jaake aayi hai yeh sham re

Dreams have sent you this message
Go to sleep, rest these eyes
that you have spent the entire day walking
You are dealing with confusions
Now finally has the evening arrived

Are aa re aa re aa

Are aa re aa re (x2)

Nindiya yeh legi tujhe thaam re

Soja de de aankhon ko aaraam re

Ke sara din chalke hai guzara

Tu uljhano ka maara

Ab jaake aayi hai yeh shaam re

This sleep will grab you
Go to sleep, rest these eyes
that you have spent the entire day walking
You are dealing with confusions
Now finally has the evening arrived

Are aa re aa re aa

Are aa re aa re (x2)

By the time she had finished the song he was deep asleep. He looked so calm, untroubled and delightfully charming when deeply asleep. She covered him with comforter to keep him warm. She picks up little Arjun in her arms and leaves. She returns the baby to his mother and comes back to moon over his deviliously handsome form.

Just then her ringing phone caughts her attention. She swiftly walks towards it to disconnects the call. She didn't wanted anything or anyone to disturb his peaceful sleep. She looks at the caller ID and thinks back on her decision to cut the call. It was Veer who was worried sick about her. She walks towards the balcony and receives his call.

Hello Veer.

Look I am sorry for scaring you. I didn't mean it.

I am talking in a hushed tone because Arjun is sleeping.

What type of a question is this?! A Good wife is always concerned about her husband.

Hahaha....Just kidding...I worry for him as his friend.

You are talking as if I gave you a heart attack.

OK now gotta go...I'll see you tomorrow...Good night.

She turns around and her eyes widen in horror.

She stutters,"Ar....Ar...Arjun...I...am...so.."

He cuts her off, "You were talking to Veer, weren't you?!"

She nods not wanting to lie to him.

She apologizes,"I am sorry I disturbed you. If it was someone I would have cut the call but..."

He cuts off angrily, "Why are you giving me explainations?! You don't owe me any."

He took long and fast strides towards the bed and climbed back on bed.

She asks hesitantly,"Are you angry with me?!"

"No come here I'll pat your back and give you reward."His voice laced with bitter sarcasm.

"I am sorry...I disturbed your sleep."She guiltily whispers.

"For your kind information, I am a light sleeper even the slightest noise wakes me up." He states coldly.

"If you are angry then I'll do anything to make it upto you."

He leans closer making her lean back. Their faces just an inch apart. His gaze peering into her soul. He looks down then arches his neck upwards and his gaze lands on her face again. He asks huskily,"Anything?!"

She nods unaware of what he could demand for. She trusts him and nods positively.

He cups her face and asks, "Do you belong to this world?! I doubt you don't."

He let's go off her face and shifts little away from her creating distance between them. He clenches his fist and asks gritting his teeth, "Why the fucking hell you trust me so much?! Don't you feel scared?!"

She shots a question in return,"Of you?!"

He grabs her and pushes her down and hovers on top. Her heartbeat shots up in zeal force. He rests his forehead against her and asks, "Now do you trust me or you're scared?!"

Her eyes closed, every thing she had inside her affected by his proximity. Her nose inhaling his male cologne. He smelled so nice and so manly. His unruly, dark, soft locks creating a tickling sensation on her skin. She replies in a low tone, "No I am not."

He chuckles at her response and buries his head in the crook of her neck. His lips brushing against her skin. He husked,"Now?!"

She shakes her head not able to reply.

He plays with her spagetti strip trying to slid it down her shoulder,"Now?!"

She comes closer to him and whispers in his ear, "I am not scared of you."

She pushes him down and sits in an upright position. She smirks, "Only one emotion can occupy my heart at a time. Now it's trust not fear. I have seen the good inside you and it's more than enough for me to look beyond your imperfections."

Now it was his turn to be utterly shocked and surprised. He flipped over and mumured,"I am not angry anymore but I don't want you talking to him so late."

He turns towards her side. His eyes holding her prisoner watching her like a hawk. He asks in an authorative tone, "Is that understood?!"

She nods and shifts to his side. She giggles,"You look good when you are angry."

He rolls his eyes and says, "You are crazy but cute."

She flutters her eyelashes,"That I am."

He smiles, "Yes you are."

(I am unpredictable and so is the story. Tell me your view.)

6) What you think about Arjun Now?!

7) Veer and Arjun are two different people. Some of you think veer is better but guys he is younger than Arjun and inexperienced. Arjun had a past which he didn't. Situations turned Arjun into a heartless beast please keep that in mind. Both the characters are dear to me but I love Arjun more. I'll always do. So next time when you compare remember the most beautiful eyes have shed the most ugliest tears. Everyone has their own story and their own explainations for their actions.

8) Review the update.
