Dedicated to @Svshri   ....Happy Bday Dear

Paradise View

It was Tuesday the day of photoshoot....after finishing her day at Sterling heights.....Raima came back home....she went inside Sam room and pecked her ..''Sammy I will be late today don't wait and get worried....sleep or else you will get dark circles'' Raima got Snehal 's message and she walked into her room....and sat infront of the mirror ....Raima kept staring at her reflection and then moved her gaze to the dressing table...Raima lifted the khol and lined her big eyes....she applied little mascara curling her long beautiful lashes.....Raima had beautiful flawless skin....she just applied a little glow to her skin....and painted her lips in shimmery pink....she pulled out her fitting noodle strap knee length flowing dress...she knew she looked beautiful in that....Raima glanced at her image smirked she walked out of her room and passed across Sam's room.....Raima knew had Sam been fine, she would have asked Raima 100 question for dressing up like that ....and had she known the reason....Sam would have reprimanded her for playing with someone's heart...Raima silently wished that Sam should get up even if it was to slap her...she swallowed her pain ....The revenge took over...she lifted her chin and walked out....

Darjeeling

Khanna Mansion was still bright....it was almost night yet the mansion was full of light....Samrat was still in his study and Rakhi was in her room...sitting on her chair engrossed it a deep thought....her heart was fluttering with different kind of feeling....neither she nor Samrat was getting sleep...they were worried for their daughters.....Sam... they didn't knew where she was and Raima...her anger and determination had power to burn down everything , but what scared them was that she was burning herself ....

Outside the Mansion stood Nitin in a hoodie .....watching the bungalow...he had visited the place quite a few times....sometimes to drop Sam...sometimes just to watch her and at times to secretly meet her....all memories came back to him....Sam came back to him....there were times when Nitin would be hungry....his step mother won't give him food....Sam would cook for him...whatever time it would be she would never complaint.....Nitin recalled how his step mother has falsely accused him of hitting his step brother and Nitin's father thrashed him mercilessly....he had been hungry for 3 days.....he called Sam it was 11:00 PM....Sam answered; ''Nitin....what's wrong''

Nitin; ''Promise me come what may you will never leave me...''

Sam; ''What happened and where are you''

Nitin; ''outside your house.....my father kicked me out....I hate them Sam''

Sam got up she was worried; ''Did you have your dinner''

Nitin; ''who cares even if I die....those people are waiting for it.....I am a burden for them''

Sam wiped her tears....'' Come to the back gate soon'' Sam arranged pillows on her bed and walked out of her room....she tiptoed into the kitchen...pulled out food and a can from refrigerator....Sam switched off the burglar alarm...and walked out into the vast garden surrounding their Bungalow...she opened the small back gate and called Nitin in....he hugged her the moment he saw her...Sam held him tightly rubbing his back and planting soft kisses on his shoulder....when he calmed...she fed him.....Nitin stayed back till dawn...laying his head on her lap...and she kept on caressing his hair ....he left pecking her forehead.....her love was precious ....and his heart craved for it like undying thirst....Nitin's POV; 'I will find you Sam....they can't keep you away from me' He walked off towards his car deciding to comeback again to get the details about her whereabouts.

BLING Studio

Snehal was busy checking the arrangements of the photoshoot....but someone was irritating her ...it was Zubin....since he had joined he kept on hitting on her....which she was cleverly avoiding....Snehal walked to the dress and makeup artist instructing them about the theme in which Arjun should be dressed....Zubin came and stood behind Snehal....taking a deep breath... ''You smell so good....''

Snehal; ''Zubin... I have warned you...just stay away...''

Zubin; ''Just one date honey and I will take you to a height you will never forget...''

Before Snehal could utter a word....came Raima's warning; ''Forget about the height you are planning to take Snehal......think about the ditch I can push you into....and it will be dark...very dark''

Zubin gulped .....the Studio was dead silent...Snehal would have smiled in normal circumstances but her eyes never moved from Raima....Snehal's POV; ''OMG I was right....she is trying to play and use Arjun's feelings.....God help me....do something....Rini is losing herself....please God....I can't stop her....Sam isn't there and Badi ma... I can't tell her....what should I do.....this feels wrong....''

Snehal's thoughts were broken by Raima's voice; ''Snehal....go home...car is waiting for you''

Snehal replied in a low voice; ''I won't go without you''

Raima walked to her and patted her cheek speaking softly in a whisper ; ''Please baby....Sam is alone...for me''

Snehal felt trapped , her eyes started filling up...she looked straight into Raima's eyes ; ''You need me more.....don't do this....you aren't this Rini''

Raima gave her a painful smile and pecked her forehead; ''I am all this and worse....go I will be home in 2-3 hrs'' Snehal had no option but to leave...Raima closed her eyes once to leave Rini behind ....she spoke in a strong voice ; ''All set....call Arjun in''

Arjun walked inside...he was dressed in a torn faded jeans ...hair gelled properly ...and his torso covered with a robe.....his eyes searched for Raima and when he met her eyes....he gave her a warm smile...which she returned with a smirk...Arjun was being explained the theme for the first shoot....the makeup group removed the robe and sprayed his bare torso face and hair with water...the tiny droplets settled on his tanned body ....giving him a hot look....once they moved... Raima moved her gaze all across Arjun giving him an appreciating look....and he started posing for the shoot... Raima's POV ; ''Arjun had I been old Rini...I would have drooled over that smile and look of yours....but now I am Raima...and nothing affects me....specially a good looking rich male...but you will go out from here losing your heart to me....I will make sure '' Even during the breaks their eyes never left each other...difference was Arjun lost his heart and Raima was doing all intentionally.

Snehal....got inside the car....and leaned on the seat closing her eyes.....she didn't knew what should be done....the driver who had been working with the family for long looked at Snehal through the mirror; ''Anything wrong kid''

Snehal smiled; ''Baba tell me....if you know a storm is coming and will blow everything in its way specially the people you love...what should be done''

Driver laughed; ''Then step into the middle of the storm and destroy the core.....but it might mean destroying yourself too''

Snehal; ''I am not scared of that....but how do I reach the core''

Driver; ''Don't worry....relax and think....time and God will open doors for you'' Snehal nodded and looked out....her POV; 'Sam you need to wake up ....this storm started with you and will end with your interference ...''

BLING STUDIO

It was the second round of photo shoot.....Arjun was dressed in a complete black 3 piece suit....Raima thought a moment and looked at Zubin; ''Zubin....make this one Black & White highlighting the contrast the most....and Arjun I would request if you give a little dark expression....just against your personality'' Arjun nodded and Zubin gave a thumbs up...she was a genius in every sense....Raima 's mobile started buzzing she saw the ID and walked out.... It was Snehal 's father Brijesh; ''Yes Kaka...all fine....Is mom-dad Ok''

Brijesh; ''All fine Rini...ok.. you were right...Nitin is in Darjeeling....its a secret visit...tell me what should be done''

Raima stared at her manicured nails smiling; ''Kaka....inform his greedy family ....but carefully without anyone knowing this is us and also the leading papers....make it difficult for him to visit anywhere or Stay in Darjeeling ....an you know how to confuse him regarding Sam I know why is he there''

Brijesh; ''Done Rini....you take care...eat and sleep well'' Rini greeted him before disconnecting....she walked inside and it was time for 3rd round of shoot and this one was a couple shoot...a famous model had been signed to do that with Arjun...Arjun had to do a good skin show for that....all the buttons of his shirt were undone....the model had to clutch his shirt hard...pulling him to her....with their lips parted and close....Arjun gave perfect shots and Raima instructed Zubin to mail her the pics ASAP before packing up....Arjun changed and came to her cabin where she was busy with some work... ''So Heiress .....goodnight or good morning''

Raima took a step towards him smiling...she smiled looking straight into his eyes; ''Depends on your perception Mr Super Star....its 3 hrs past midnight and around 3hrs for dawn....so what does it looks to you''

Arjun was kind of lost in her deep brown eyes he took a step forward; ''For me you look like a morning....a beautiful sunny morning...filling me with light ''

Raima's cheeks flushed.....she let out a small laugh ...lowering her eyes; ''you are engaged ''

Arjun cut her off; ''Not married....and its just verbal pact ....I don't have a ring''

Raima gave him a challenge ; ''I am not a girl made of petals ....I am bad....and can be worse''

Arjun out of the blue cupped her cheek...he rubbed his thumb over her cheek; ''Then why doesn't you feel that bad.....Heiress why do your beautiful eyes carry so much pain....talk it out...to a friend....someone you love...or let me love you till I erase all the pain''

Raima was caught off guard now.....she came with a plan but this man...was moving down towards her heart...which she had locked long ago...she looked at him wide eyed....trying to read his coal black eyes....they were calm true and carried affection for her Raima's POV; 'you can't hurt him....its not his fault....don't Rini.....move back now' But the revenge riding her head warned; 'He is not that good....he has a finance and is fooling with you....there is no harm in using him...' the battle between Raima-Rini was broken by Arjun peck on her cheek....Raima took a sharp breath moving backwards....Arjun caught her waist pulling her to him...he brushed his knuckles on her heated cheek; ''I thought there is no girl on this planet...who could make me lose my senses....but I forgot there is God....and miracles happen....and see now you happened''

Raima kept her palms between them; ''You don't even know me properly....there are few things which might make you hate me''

Ajun; ''Don't know what things....but I can never hate you''

Raima looked into his eyes with a challenge; ''What if tomorrow you get to know that I put up an act of loving you to use you in my favour and then crush you heart''

Arjun; ''Heiress tell me if I can be off any use to you...I would happily give myself up ''

Raima; ''Aren't you too fast''

Arjun ; ''Life is short....I don't want to waste it in you guessing and me impressing you....I know what my heart wants so why wait..''

Raima tried moving back but this time both his arms were wrapped around her tightly pulling her close to his face....Raima couldn't understand...why was she behaving like a ordinary girl....in such a scenario she would have broken the head of the man....but couldn't do that with Arjun....her brain calmed her; ''Stop it honey you wanted this just play along....this is your plan....''

Arjun lifted her chin up; '' you are many things....a strong dangerous cunning business woman....but above all you are a beautiful young girl....whose heart is fluttering staying in my arms...I do affect you the way you affect me'' Arjun hid his face in the crook of her neck brushing his lips on her baby soft skin....Raima curled her toes when his hard subtle brushed her soft skin....evoking the desires and feelings she had crushed long back...Arjun lifted his head kissing side of her temple corner of her eye her cheek...and then turned her face towards himself; I want to kiss you....but wont till you want it too...and you will soon... I haven't touched Nivi the way I touched you....give me a chance heiress ....'' Raima was still quite but she got a chance to escape when she got a call from security...informing her about her vehicle waiting...she quickly walked out with smiling Arjun following her....as they got into the elevator....Raima stood in the middle....and Arjun exactly behind her ....leaning on the wall...watching her....he spoke ; ''I wish this elevator breaks down for 5-6 hrs you get caught with me''

Raima; ''Arjun I am not the right one....''

Arjun straightened his body and moved close ....Raima could feel the heat on her back....he lowered his face to her ear level; ''Then I will make myself the right one for you....get ready heiress I am going make you lose your senses'' Arjun glanced at the display it was just 2 floors for basement....he hugged her from behind....pecking her cheek deep....as the doors slid open....Arjun found his reality standing there Nivedita....she came tip toeing towards Arjun....he glanced at Raima who smirked....Nivedita looked at Raima....she found a challenge a fear building in her body looking at Raima.....She jumped on Arjun; ''My Baby''

Arjun pulled her away; ''What are you doing here''

Nivi made a puppy face; ''Was missing you and who is she''

Arjun turned and looked at Raima...he introduced her proudly; ''The media Heiress...Raima''

Nivi could feel her fear growing more.....Raima had everything a girl desired to be like...Raima read her fear...she smiled cunningly moving forward and extended her hand...when Nivi accepted it Raima gripped it hard...shaking it with power....making her challenge open...Raima moved to Arjun now it was her turn to make him feel out of the place.....she pecked his cheek whispering huskily ; ''Goodnight Super Star...enjoy the company'' Raima walked towards her black Mercedes without a backward glance....she got in and drove off....once inside....she started sweating.....Arjun's proximity was too much...she didn't plan for all this....but going with the flow was difficult...Raima asked her driver to turn the ac to max....she leaned closing her eyes to calm her heart...when a phone call gave her everything she wanted...

Arjun got into his car with Nivi....he could feel Nivi's discomfort ....annoyance she asked him in an annoyed tone; ''What were you doing in that lift alone with her''

Arjun answered without looking at her; '' you tell me the use of elevator''

Nivi; ''Arjun you know what I mean she kissed you''

Arjun; ''That was a peck Nivi.....''

Nivi; ''Arjun why are you acting rude......I gave so many years to you''

Arjun replied; ''Nivi.....we both know the reason...who got what from our relationship...don't push words into my mouth .and now I am tired so please give me some space...'' Arjun leaned on the seat closing his eyes...and drowning himself in the thoughts of Raima

Paradise View

Raima rushed inside and ran upstairs to the corner room...she pushed open the door....she whispered between the tears ; ''Sam''

Sam was still lying on the bed....doctor was checking on her....Snehal was sitting holding Sam's hand.....Sam looked at Raima she was smiling and tears were oozing out from the corner of her eyes....doctor completed his check up and asked Raima out.

Dr; ''Raima .... Sam has woken up after 3 yrs...she had been surviving on IV fluids....it will take time for her regain her strength....she will not be able to walk for few days....she needs rest and don't stress her....no questions and no explanations.....just go with the flow''

Raima thanked the doctor...and went back into the room...she pushed the lever of the hydraulic bed so that Sam could come in a sitting position ..... Sam patted the bed asking Raima to come to her....Raima sat close to her...Sam touched her cheek....she forced words out for her parched throat; ''Rini.....I missed you'' Raima just moved close and gently hugged Sam ...giving her numerous kisses....both sisters cried hugging each other ....Snehal clapped.... '' you forgot me '' Sam extended her harm ; ''Come kiddo....I missed you too'' Snehal hugged them and the spoke in a kiddish voice ; ''Rini ...feel like having some thnig sweet...shall I cook''

Raima; ''Ask the cook....you better don't try or you will burn my kitchen down...''

Snehal pouted; ''you are mean...'' Raima pecked her and asked her go and prepare sweet for all ....Snehal walked out happy ...she folded arms infront of god's idol... ''thank you God......now I will be able to stop Rini'' Raima smiled looking at Snehal thanking God....but little did Snehal knew that Raima had something else in her head
