Sam took a little more effort to look good, this so called evening was just to put Neil on nails. Zubin had messaged her the picture of his friend Robin, he was a fashion model, someone worth drooling on. Sam giggled, there was no way this guy would give her a glance but this little act will definitely set Neil on fire. 

An hour back she had disclosed her plans to Radhika, who had squealed in delight making Sam pull the phone of her ear. She wished Radhika could join them, her quality to add little moment would have been of great help today.She heard the honking of Zubin car, wrapping a stole she made her way out with a determination to make Neil sweat. 

Radhika couldn't help but smile after listening to Sam's idea about making Neil jealous. She had a bad urge to witness the same. She gave a thought , it was easy all she had to just call her friends, but that won't be fun. She wanted real reaction, this wasn't the first time she had been part of such dramas. And Now she wanted to do this again. She hopped towards Nandini's room, though she shared cold vibes with Arjun, Nandini was like a breather in her tense life. They had clicked instantly . 

''Di are you busy''

Nandini smiled, ''No , come in"

''Di I need your help'' Nandini's nod made Radhika narrate her plan. Nandini's eyes went wide and then she laughed, ''Done, all you need will reach you in approximately 1 hour. But don't forget to give me the details.'' Radhika ran off after giving her a gentle hug.

Sam entered the pub dressed to kill, her rblack and golden shimmery one shoulder short dress made her look like a super model, she had curled her straight brown hairs into wild curls and had worn bold make up. Every guy she passed couldn't help but look at her, Zubin spat his drink on Teji ,who simply started cleaning his glasses, ''Is this one I have to act with?'' Asked Robin. Zubin nodded paying half attention

''Wow! I would like to date her in reality.'' Robin said gulping down his glass.

''Touch her and we chop you into pieces.'' Kritika warned. ''You will do as said''  But Robin just ignored, the beauty infront of his eyes was not to be missed. Sam joined the table with a wide smiled, ''Hi there everyone, enjoying friday evening.''

''Hi, I am Robin.'' 

Sam gave him a smirk , ignoring his extended hand she turned to her friends and got busy. Robin smiled, he loved difficult girls and he knew she wouldn't give in that easily as they were supposed to act. Now, when he had met her, he wanted to know her. 

Zubin elbowed Sam signalling her of Neil's arrival. Soniya enthusiastically waved at them and Sam got up to give her a hug. Neil's eyes widen when they fell on Sam. He swallowed the dryness as his fingers curled into a fist.He was mad at her for dressing so provocatively. He his didn't miss the way men looked at her. Moving forward he gave a friendly hug, ''You have never dressed this way before'' He whispered in her ear

Sam didn't miss the annoyance, she smile and stepped back, ''I have never been this happy before.'' Turning away she asked her friends to join her on the dance floor, Soniya tried persuading Neil. But he refused, his mood already sullen after meeting Sam in this avataar. 

Robin took the opportunity to get close, he held her hand matching her steps. He kept throwing loving endearments at her, she kept smiling just make Neil jealous, from the corner of her eyes she could see Neil gulping one drink after the other. Sam felt her idea backfiring when Robin did all to get his hands on her.

Sam now wanted to get rid of him , but she couldn't think of anything. The universe seemed to have taken pity on her and a cute looking Sardar jumped in between her and Robin doing some abrupt moves. Sam pressed her lips, the cute guy seemed to have his own mind. She was kind of Thankful for this intervention,  she wanted to laugh when her savior started doing snake movements pushing Robin away. He came dancing to Sam mixing the styles of horrendous bollywood male dancers, ''I know you are also in love with me as I am with you.'' Sam blinked , clapped and then laughed. She pulled the cute guy in her embrace pecking his cheek deep. The guy shook as if been electrocuted, he then jumped expressing his delight on being kissed, scaring the others on the floor. 

Neil coughed when Sam kissed a young guy. Was she out of her head, he thought. First, dancing with a pervert like Robin and now kissing a guy who looked younger than her. Sam informed her friends she was leaving with the new guy, she walked out without meeting Neil making him burn in jealousy.

Sam walked to the vehicle of her new admirer. Once in, the two broke into fits of laughter, ''That was something Chashni''

''I never had the intention of jumping in, but the way that guy was leering at you, made me do that. And it was worth it, you should have seen Neil's face when you pecked me. Get ready for fireworks.''

Sam shook her head, ''I feel bad for Soniya. She is a nice girl, I feel guilty about putting her through this.''

''You are actually saving her from love less marriage. Today Neil might marry her but tomorrow he will just take in as a compromise. And all is fair in love and war.'' Sam smiled at her over optimistic friend, ''Where too?''

''Now, since I left with a cute looking guy, I should reach home late. Need to have some fun.'' Sam's reply made Radhika giggle. She directed the driver to take them some place peaceful. The old man nodded, he drove to a five star hotel that Nandini was partner with. After a brief call the girls were allowed to spend time on the private beach. They left around the dawn oblivious that their little stunt had left their men brooding.

Radhika tip toed to her room, she peeped and found Arjun sleeping on the recliner. She kept her oversized shoes out and walked in like a cat. Her intention was to change and slip into the blanket. She didn't want her husband to probe her. Moving to the cupboard, she slowly unlocked it to pull her clothes. She thought she succeed but next moment she was being pushed roughly to the wall with a vice like grip on her neck. Radhika gasped

''You think you steal in my house.'' Arjun warned. She tried responding, but his grip was making impossible for her to breath. Having no options, she lifted her knee hitting hard on his groin. He growled doubling up while she tried catching her breath. Before she could flee, he threw a towel on her blinding her, he pushed her on the bed as she fell flat on her face. He jumped, pinning her under him, ''I will teach you such a lesson that you will never dare to steal again.''

''Sir!!!'' That voice froze him. He pulled the towel off her face to find a cute little sardar glaring at him with his wife eyes. He pulled off the fake facial hair making Radhika yelp, he again looked at hair and then started laughing throwing his back on the bed next to her.

She was furious, first he almost killed her and now he is laughing on her. Pulling her turban off she started punching him. He grabbed her wrists, pushed her on bed and towered her with her hands locked above the head, ''Do you know that clothes you are wearing are mine from teenage.''

''I know, and I got the sanitized before wearing.'' Radhika was aware her stupid answer would make him laugh more and he did. ''You look cute.''

''Really? Do you handle all cute ones like that.'' She asked

''I never expected you to enter like a thief. Its your house.'' Radhika's heart warmed up at his words, she quickly hid her emotions, ''I just didn't wanted to wake yo...I mean anyone up.''

''How considerate. Where were opu?''

''On a date with a sexy girl?''

''What?'' Arjun asked  shocked

''Yes, I have had hots for her since my eyes landed on her . As she wouldn't take interest in me being straight,  I disguised myself into a cute boy.''

''Did she take interest you?'' Arjun was losing his sanity

''Oh, she kissed me. Once on cheek and then...'' She licked her lips as she displayed the Sam's lipstick mark on her cheek. Radhika's enthusiastic voice made Arjun's heart sink. His beloved wife , whom he had been hell worried about all evening works back in the morning disguised as a man and now claims to have kissed a girl. Was this the reason she wasn't interested in him?

''You are lying if that was the case why were you so interested in marrying Saral?'' He asked. Radhika pushed him and sat upright, pulling a pillow in her lap she made a serious face, ''That's because he was the only guy who knew of my interest . he promised that he would support me like a friend till I find my dream girl and then we will part ways cooking up a story.'' 

Arjun's face was treat to watch, the lip mark on her cheek added to his misery. His dream of making Radhika his seemed to look distant now. ''Where are you lost?'' She snapped her fingers to break his thoughts, ''Now , when you know everything. I suppose, I don't have to hide and go.''

''What do you mean?'' He asked horrified

''I have to win my girl, convince her that we are made for each other and that doesn't happen in a day. I will have to work very hard.'' She said pretty convincingly , Arjun stared at her. Less and uncomfortable sleep had already left him tired and now his wife's words were making him lose his sense.

''I will go and change, I don't want Nandini di scared with my reality. I hope you will keep the secret.'' Arjun just sat quietly, he watched as she hummed few romantic melodies praising her lady love. Once she vanished in the changing room, he threw his back on the bed and closed his eyes, for now he just couldn't think.

Radhika walked out to find Arjun sleeping with his arm on his eyes, she smiled, 'This was the revenge for making me uncomfortable the other day. Now keep thinking.' With her heart dancing in joy, she quickly slipped in the other corner. Turning her back to Arjun she closed her eyes. Today was the best sleep of her life.

Neil had been sulking since Sam left, his over drinking had created a small drama in the pub and the group was being asked to leave. Zubin helped Soniya in taking Neil home. When Prerna saw her son, she was shocked. Neil wasn't a  drinker. He would only take a sip when offered, his sloshed condition worried her. ''Soniya, go rest I will take care.''

''He still loves her.'' She mumbled

''Yes,but wants to move on. And you can only help. Love isn't easy to forget, even you couldn't forget him till date. Help him Soniya, he needs you.''

Soniya nodded, her eyes went to the man lying on the sofa. She had been in love with him for so long, and today when she saw him lost in Sam her heart broke. ''I don't know what to do'' She sniffed, feeling defeated

''When he wakes up, shake him slap him and confront him. Ask him what he wants, ask him if he wasn't sure of his decision , why did he propose you. You will have to fight this battle, if you love him enough to win him.'' Prerna's words gave  a big boost to her dying spirit. Yes she loved Neil and she wasn't going to lose the battle so soon.
