She felt suffocated. She got changed to her night dress and started to listen from her playlist. It always pays but this time nope.... When she has seen him after five years... when she was sure that he won't find her... trouble her... at last she thought she will settle with Adi in peace... though it will be difficult for her one sided love... still she gave a chance... hoping that she will open up one day to Adi about her past... her nightmare and as a gem he is... will surely understand her...

Everything scattered in her heart and a single tear rolled on her cheek. "No..." she turned off the playlist. "No... I can't be weak" she wiped her tear. But her thoughts made her to tremble going back to her childhood.

"She was eight that time when she first met his chocolate brown eyes... she was roaming in the mall with her parents... she didn't even know why she was staring at him.... To her surprise... luck... her mom Avanthika and his mom Khushi... waved at each other with a wide grin. Then everything fell in line that they were college mates and didn't have contact after studies... His sweet sister Arshi smiled at her and that was it... an instant attachment grew between them... while his eyes spitted anger... which she couldn't figure.... Her father Harish and his father Arnav.... Shook their hands and started their chat which ended like thick friends...

Slowly both the families started to visit each other. Their affection grew a lot except her nightmare. He used to avoid her and threw angry glares which will automatically make her freeze and move from the spot. They adored both the girls who became like soul sisters.... He didn't like the way they treated Radhi. It was very obvious to her that he wanted the attention from all to him... only on him....

Even he distanced himself from his own sister. Elders thought that it will be okay since he was a kid that too a tough kid. They also thought it was normal for kids... but instead the anger in him grew... grew... a lot that he totally hated her in all means. Whenever she tries to talk or play with him... the only thing he do was... hurt her.... Badly... very badly...

Arshi didn't liked his doings. She used to complain about him to their parents. They told him genuinely that he shouldn't act like this when he's elder to them. These advises didn't even helped him... which in turn... made him to became cold in that age itself.

During that time only.... That terrible incident occurred... She was playing with Arshi in Raizada Mansion while her parents went out for some work. They didn't return as they met with an accident which made Arnav and Khushi to rush to the hospital.

There they got promise from Arnav about taking care of Radhi... as they know they had their last breathes. Arnav and Khushi took care of everything and brought Radhi to their home along with her belongings. This made Aarav to fume in anger as he didn't want her there.

But they ignored him as Radhi needed their full attention at that time due to her fragile condition. Arshi was in a way happy that her best buddy will be with her but she couldn't get the reason of her stay that time. Arshi shared her room with her and tried everything from her side to make her smile. They both started to grow together... Aarav as well... along with his anger issues...."

Her phone ring made her to jerk. She frowned looking at the unknown number but even then she pressed the answer button.

"Radhika Sharma" his clear stern voice made her to stiffen in what position she sat. "You thought... you can escape from me" his evil words made her to shiver. He laughed in a mocking way. "This time.... There's no way... I will have you.... Very soon" his cold tone made her to take a sharp breathe. "Aarav.... Leave me alone... I forgive you for what you tried to do with me" she tried. He laughed again but stopped suddenly uttering "You.... Forgive... me.... You know I don't like jokes". "Am now engaged" she said steadily. "So what" he said coolly. "Aarav... am going to marry Adi.... So leave me... am not in your way now" she gulped hardly. "I just don't care... I want you... and I will have you for sure.... Till then enjoy" she simply stared the wall even after he cut the call.
