''Get me details on Mishras and Joshis and every small detail. There should be something which will help me get Radhika married to Arjun'' Nandini instructed Rana sternly. He huffed , ''You are manipulating things. This is not right''

Nandini moved to the window, ''Sometimes to make everything right you have to take a wrong step. Once Arjun has Radhika, he will stop his mad revenge rampage''. Rana nodded and left. Nandini smiled content. She just needed that weak point, rest she already had ready in her mind

Radhika rubbed her arms to escape the cold wind. She looked around, it was pitch dark. It was a lonely place. She felt scared. She kept praying that she should be able to to find her route back. She heard some one approaching and shivered in fear. A man approached her on a bicycle and stopped near her staring at the lonely young girl in the middle of no where.

Arjun enquired about Sam after reaching the hotel and got to known that she had already checked out. He took his room keys and moved to the elevator when a bell boy handed him the bag he left on the reception counter. Arjun stared at the white jute bag. It was hers , he took the bag and moved to his room. Arjun dumped the bag in one corner , he pulled the t-shirt off his head throwing it in one corner. Freshening up he threw his tired body on the bed and closed his eyes. Arjun kept twisting and turning on the bed , but his eyes kept moving to the bag lying in the corner. He turned his body away and closed eyes. All he could see her teary scared face, he pleads not to leave her alone there. Arjun got up, he racked his hands through his hair and realised in his anger he left an innocent girl alone in a place which could be dangerous for her. 

Dark thoughts started hitting his brain. He now felt guilty for leaving her all alone. Picking the bag he left the hotel at the lightning speed. Arjun drove back to the scheduled place where he left her. He called her out a number of times . His heart started beating mad , he feared the worst. He looked around and found something sparkling at a distance. Arjun walked to and picked it up. It was a bracelet, He recalled it was hers. Shoving into his pocket he ran to hos vehicle, deciding to check around all near by places. He frantically drove as skies started pouring adding to his misery.  He scanned every corner as he drove along the deserted road. He would get down to inquire on her whenever he would see a shop or a house. Arjun banged his hand on the steering feeling frustrated about not being able to find her. Leaning on it , he cursed himself again. He decided , whatever it takes he going to bring her back safe. Her smile, mischief were knocking all parts of his brain.  He drove insanely to halt before a small shop quickly getting out he enquired giving her physical description. The shop keeper quickly responded stating that he saw a man taking an over talkative girl  into the house at the dead end. Arjun turned numb, the man mentioned her a talkative. He mentally chided her for being no naive and trustful. With wasting a minute he leaped into the vehicle gushing into the narrow lane.

When he barged in he found her laughing with the kids of the house. he felt life moving back into his body, ''Radhika , lets leave''

''She turned to gave him a side glance, ''Do we know each other'' He was left shocked at her query, she went back narrating the story of a monster slained by a princess. He smiled realizing he was the monster and she was the princess. She was upset and she had the right. ''We have to leave, hotel is far'' He requested again

''I am having dinner. Plus, I can find my own way'' . He went agitated, ''You are enjoying dinner here and I was searching you like mad in this heavy rain''. Radhika's hand stopped at distance from her mouth. She kept the morsel in the plate and stood up to face him sternly, ''But why? I didn't ask you. It was you who left me alone in a deserted place , then why do you blame me for your search patrol.'' He turned speechless, she leaned closer and whispered , '' I am not going with you because I don't trust you with my safety . I am better off here. Kaka will drop me to the main road in morning''. She pointed to the middle age man who rescued her.

''Great !!! Had I known this I wouldn't have wasted my time searching for you'' He snapped angrily. She narrowed her eyes at him, ''As far as I know you, you don't do a thing without a reason . Guess what Sir, I know the reason of you being here looking so thoughtful. Its Sam'' Arjun's eyes snapped at her shocked, when he went on a frantic search for her he didn't even thought of Sam once . It was just her in his mind, he swallowed the lump. She just labeled him as selfish and an opportunist. He saw the disgust in her eyes, she did hate him, ''Fine , I came for Sam. So why don't you give me her whereabouts and I leave you alone''

She smirked, crossing her arms over her chest she stepped closer , ''I didn't tell you when you comprised my safety . What made you think, I will tell you now, when I am safe'' . he was out of words again, she turned away to go back to kids when he grabbed her arm jerking her around. She fell on his chest with a thud, ''I have a bad habit of getting what I want. So if not this way, I will have it the other way. You will have your freedom when you tell me where Sam is.'' Having said that she was lifted off the floor. Arjun's one arm held her firmly by waist and other went under her legs. She gasped staring at his expressionless face as he carried her out of the small door under the pouring sky. She punched his shoulder , he didn't flinch for a second, ''Sir put me down'' he ignored and placed her into the passenger seat, buckling the seat belt around. Their eyes met for a second and Arjun's eyes dropped to her shivering lips. Water droplets had settled themselves all over her form  making her look like a flower blessed with morning dew. He controlled his thoughts moving to the driver's seat, driving off next instant.

Sam stared at the girl gushing with happiness as her guy went on his knee. People present in the hotel lobby clapped for the happy couple. A tear made its way down her cheek. Though she didn't knew her ,She suddenly felt jealous of the girl. For so many days she wished for one person who would love her unconditionally and one who would just be hers. She saw that in Arjun, she had build so many dreams around him . But he to broke her heart. 

Neil watched her from distance, he knew with her he won't be able to stare at her with all the feelings of his heart. Suddenly she turned to him and he masked his feelings with his silly smile. Neil walked to her, ''What Sammy, dreaming of your guy''

''I don't have one. Guess, fate hasn't written love in my life'' , she replied sadly. He smirked, ''Fate ! I don't believe in one. . I believe , we should always pay attention to ones who are there of us. We often search for love outside, when we have it around us all the time.''  Sam didn't even try to understand what he said. She just kept her eyes on the couple , crying on her fate. ''You won't understand what heart break is Neil''

He threw his head back and laughed, ''Yes so true. You know Arjun for few months and it pains that bad. I have been in love with you since I have known you since we were kids. And you say that I don't understand what heart break?'' His statement was rather a sarcastic comment on her. Sam turned her eyes to him , she realised what she just said. ''Neil I am...'' She cut her off raising his palm, ''It doesn't matter now. Someone taught me to embrace the one ready to embrace you. He got up and moved to the place where musicians were playing. He took the stage and the singer handed him the guitar. His fingers played the strings and he smile recalling Radhika's song. Suddenly everybody in the lobby was attentive to the beautiful song he sang

Katra Karta marna kya re

Katra Katra jina kya re; Katra Karta marna kya re

Tanha Tanha maan hi mann main chupke chupke rona kya re

Risheton ki di saason par re dhakanon ka chalna kya

Baarishoon ki Katron se Sagaron ko silna kya re

(Meaning- Why to live in pieces , Why cry alone , Why depend on relationships for your happiness , Why do we try to catch something which isn't ours') Original from Manmarziyan

Sam realised it was Radhika's song. She had heard her humming the same. Suddenly her mind was linking unseen doubts. 'WHat did Neil meant by embracing the one ready to embrace you? Was he talking about Radhika. But she is engaged . Then why did he chose her song?

Sam kept her eyes on Neil and didn't realize she had forgotten all about Arjun and her heart break.

When Arjun reached his hotel. Radhika refused to get down. He rolled his eyes and pulled her out. Dragging her by her wrist he moved towards the elevator, not caring about the looks he was getting. Radhika pressed her lips, ''help Help Help''

''Is he forcing you sister'' Asked a bulky man. Radhika was about to proceed with her drama when Arjun intervened. ''Oh don't bother brother, she is my wife. She is mentally unstable and keeps running. I went out in the stormy night just to find her. Time for her injection and if you don't believe me you can find her belongings in my room or let me set her free and she will be lose to drive the whole place mad''. Radhika blinked like a live doll and Arjun gave her a proud grin. People went about doing their work and Arjun pulled her in his arms, acting like a loving husband. She struggled pouting , trying to move out. With every effort of hers, he tighten his arms around her. Arjun kept his grip around her while unlocking the door. She kept struggling and then she was pushed on the fluffy bed. Radhika looked at him all wide eyes while he took off his t-shirt in a corner. Radhika blinked and turned away; ''yuck''

Arjun frowned, she just despised the body other girls went gaga over. With a raised brow he turned to her; ''Yuck? do you know how many girls would jump off that balcony to be in your place.

''I will jump off if I have to spend another minute with you'' She replied annoyed making him chuckle. He stretched his arms showing off his toned body and Radhika playfully throttled herself pretending to puke. Arjun threw his head back and laughed, ''Time to sleep'' He jumped on bed next to her , she moved back falling off the bed , landing on her back with a thud. Radhika groaned in pain and he laughed, ''Sleep now, you have tired me enough. We can fight tomorrow''

''We can't sleep on one bed''. She complained. His eyes turned to her and remained fixed on her. She was beautiful . She lowered her eyes  feeling uncomfortable. ''Sleep in the balcony'' he said turning away

She opened and closed her mouth like a fish, ''Its raining and its cold. Plus I am a girl. It should be you who should be sleeping out'' Arjun ignored and just waved at her. She stomped pulling the fluffy blanket of his body. But before she could take it completely he pulled the other end making Radhika fall on him. Arjun's arm went around her waist as she started blinking nervously. Arjun locked his eyes with her rolling her over coming on the top. He gently pulled the blanket off her hands and moved back. ''Good night!!!'' Radhika realised he had smartly taken the blanket from her. She punched the mattress and started chewing her nails to think of something different.

''Its has been 6 months Shruti since we last spoke, don't you miss me?'' Ankush questioned his childhood sweet heart .

''Ankush you know how it had been , this patient had now started responding. I just can't leave him like this. He is my responsibility'' Shruti reasoned. Ankush was angry now, he had given her all the support and freedom she asked and her profession demanded. But in return he got negligence. ''I think I got my answer.'' With that he disconnected. Shruti was about to call him back when a soft moan caught her attention. Pushing her phone into her coat pocket she moved back to attend the need of her anonymous patient.
