Vicky was leaving for Mumbai...when Radhika came and stood next to him quietly. He smiled and asked her; ''Want to come with me?'' Radhika replied in negative, he gave her his card asked her to go shopping...Radhika said; "but I don't need anything.." Vicky retorted; ''Who said for you...do it for me... I am too busy to buy myself clothes." Radhika laughed at that, he kissed her forehead and left...with a thought; ''I have to make that smile permanent on your face''

Neil and Arjun decided not tell Sam anything about their meeting with Vicky, they left office together on the pretext of clubbing and picked Ankush on the way. They were waiting in the main hall of Vicky residence when he walked in. He gave a warm hug to Ankush and greeted Arjun and Neil with a handshake. Arjun saw a kind of challenge in him...as if he was challenging them...to take Radhika from him. Without wasting time Ankush asked; ''Where is choti Vicky...I know you are aware where is she" Vicky replied; "Some place safe and happy...but not with me.'' Ankush said; ''Alright then how come she has a no. with a protected ID it needs a lot of paper work... who would have done that for her...and with whom did she leave the party?''. Vicky smiled at Ankush's interrogation and calmly replied; ''I arranged the Sim for her a month back...when she asked me and I seriously don't know with whom she left the party.'' Neil was restless now, he asked; ''we are seriously worried about her, running away will not heal her... if not for us ... at least for her please help us find her.'' Vicky looked at Neil with warmth and said; ''I agree running away never heals...but answer this one question this is for all 3 of you...A girl who has always been good to people..who never had hurt anyone...who loved her family and friends unconditionally was suddenly pushed into a pool of hatred and shunned by all...Can you actually think about the intensity of pain she went through....she won't understand your concept of right or wrong Neil...leave her alone...she will be back.'' All 3 of them actually were speechless. ''I just want Radhika to be happy...either it's with you or without you Arjun...'' Vicky concluded with a challenging stare at Arjun . Arjun looked up straight into his eyes and replied; ''We have the same goal...Radhika's happiness....but...but it will be with me...she always was and will be RADHIKA ARJUN MEHRA.'' Vicky liked the determination in Arjun's eyes...he smiled and said; ''Let us leave that decision to Radhika...I won't let anyone force her this time...if someone hurts her the person has to face me this time.'' Thanks to Neil that Arjun was able to control himself Vicky requested them to stay for dinner and they agreed for Radhika.

On the way back home...Ankush said;'' I told you he is impossible..''Arjun smiled and replied; ''I kind of like him...I am at least convinced she is safe.'' Ankush and Neil looked at each other and banged their hand on their head. Sam finally completing Radhika's diary...found Vicky can be the person who knows where Radhika is ,she dialled his no. he answered immediately , Sam introduced herself and literally pleaded him to let her know where Radhika is, Vicky could not say a word ...he understood that Sam's feelings for Radhika were as true Radhika's . He felt bad for lying to Sam that he is not aware about Radhika's whereabouts. Sam felt disappointed but she had not lost hope. She thought; 'I deserve your anger...but I won't give up. I made a mistake and I will repent for that'

It was Friday evening , Teji, Zubin and Kritika were discussing about the brilliant article published in the magazine ''THE Y ZONE'' by an anonymous writer when Sam reprimanded them for gossiping she asked them to go back to the work. She picked up the magazine from Zubin's desk and took it to her cabin. She checked all the couriers kept on her desk She was going through a letter...and suddenly recalled Zubin and gang's discussion, and kept the magazine in her bag. Sam after reaching home started with the article...it had depth and it touched her heart it felt as if the writer was talking about Sam's feeling, something suddenly struck her...she decided to buy the next edition of the magazine before drawing any conclusion on the writer.

Vicky had decided to take Radhika out to make her feel better and also to treat her for the brilliant article. His assistant had informed earlier that they were getting very good reviews on the article and mails were pouring in to know about the writer. When he reached his Pune residence for the weekend he found her scribbling in the diary...he walked towards her and gave the envelope. Radhika opened the envelope and found a cheque addressed in her name. She gave him a questioning look and he smiled and said; ''The anonymous writer working for me is getting great reviews...I had asked you work on a monthly article ...let's do it weekly.'' Radhika felt happy..after almost 20 days she felt she is getting her dream back...she understood..the amount Vicky had paid her was more than the worth...but his words gave her some confidence on herself. Suddenly she thought for some time and asked; ''How many articles would earn me a lakh of rupees.'' Vicky asked; ''That depends how it is received by the readers...Why are you asking that.'' Radhika replied; ''Arjun Sir had helped Papa with Rs.10 Lakhs during the fire accident...I want to repay him.'' Vicky: ''If you want...I will pay that in one shot and I have spoken to Ankush and Mamaji (Radhika's Father) about it many times but they refused..don't understand why they can take it from the stranger and not me." Radhika replied; ''Vicky when this happened you were travelling and to save me from Saral Arjun Sir helped us...then Ankush Bhai and I had decided to pay him back.'' Vicky after a pause asked; ''And you still say that he doesn't love you...". Radhika paused and replied; ''he would have done that for anyone...he is a good person...and how does that matter now that he loves me or not'' .Vicky thought he needs to fuel Radhika's anger and Arjun's desperation to get them together, he thought time for some reverse psychology.'' He told Radhika to get ready as they are going to celebrate her new success.

Vicky took Radhika to a terrace restaurant...it had beautiful lighting , being on the terrace it had natural air conditioning and gave a beautiful view of the City. Vicky had pre booked a cake to celebrate Radhika's success...they celebrate with cake and a good dinner. Suddenly Vicky started dancing sitting at his place itself hearing his favourite song being played. Radhika laughed loudly..she was doing this after a long time, but Radhika was unaware of the eyes which were glaring at her from a distance filled with lot of hatred. Suddenly that person clicked a picture of Radhika and left the place giving one final glance.

Ankush decided to leave for Rishikesh, he told Arjun that he will keep him posted if he is able to get anything from Vicky. Arjun dropped Ankush at the airport and was driving back when it suddenly started raining Arjun parked his car and came out of the car...he looked at the sky and let the rain droplets drench him completely...He closed his eyes to recall Radhika's sweet face, her expressive eyes...her smile...her words...her care... their moments together ...she was following like blood in his veins...his heart was taking her name with every beat. He opened his eyes smiling he was not getting drenched in rain...he was getting himself drenched in Radhika's love...he opened his arms wide and screamed; ''I LOVE YOU RADHIKA...I...LOVE...YOU''. Radhika was taking a nap in Vicky car on her way to home when she suddenly opened her eyes with a jerk...she felt as if someone called her from very far she smiled at her stupidity and closed her eyes again.''

Neil was standing near the window of his room and thinking...''What the hell is this Vicky up to... he cares about Chashni for sure...but something about him is making me anxious ....it felt as if he was trying to provoke Arjun...if yes then why is he doing that? I have to make sure that Arjun should not make a mistake in his anger... we cannot take chances..who knows if this Vicky was brain washing Radhika against Arjun...whatever it was they have to be careful...Ankush was right Vicky is not going to be easy.'' Neil thought for a second it was high time he has know something more about this man Vikram Agnihotri aka Vicky. He switched on his laptop and started his initial search.

Sam was not getting sleep...something was familiar about that article. The feelings conveyed, the depth of the relationship everything was reminding her of Radhika. She quickly got up and picked the magazine up again...she wanted to check on writers' but found it as anonymous. Sam smiled and thought;" Chashni I feel this is you...and if you think not putting your name will help you hide you are wrong...I know you in and out. But before I conclude... I need to be double sure about it.'' Sam felt and a good about it and went back to bed. She had decided to discuss this with Neil first thing in the morning.

It was morning and Radhika and Vicky were having breakfast when Radhika asked him; ''Can you give me 1Lakh in advance for the articles''...Vicky nodded positively but was little surprised after hearing the next sentence. ''Vicky promise me you will not pay me more than the article's worth and I hope you understand why I am saying this. Even if takes 10 or more different articles.'' Vicky took a deep breath and gave a loving look to the miss goodie two shoes. He again nodded positively and left the table after finishing the breakfast. After some time he told Radhika; ''Give me your account no. I will transfer the amount to your account.'' Radhika thought for a moment and said; '' get it done as a draft payable in Mumbai in the name of Arjun Mehra.'' Vicky was surprised but this gave him a sudden idea of fuelling Arjun...he congratulated himself and said; ''Fine ...I will make the arrangement to get it delivered to Arjun Mehra.''

Sam had called Neil at least 20 times...but he was not responding. Finally she took her car and drove off to Neil place. Prerna told Sam that Neil slept after 3:00 AM and was working on his laptop.

Sam barged into Neil room and poured a glass of water on his face. Neil woke up suddenly and Sam said; ''It's 10:30 Idiot...get up...''. Neil looked at her and replied; "Sammy its Saturday let me sleep". Sam pushed Neil to freshen up and waited for him to come. Neil came to Sam and asked; ''Now tell me... what the emergency is." Sam narrated everything about the article and how she feels this is Radhika. Neil searched for the owner of 'THE Y ZONE' and was little surprised...he understood that this can be Radhika...he thought for a moment and spoke;'' Sammy let us wait for 2 more articles before jumping to conclusions'' But in his head...he was sure that this is Radhika...and so may coincidences are not possible. He thought 'if Vicky does not want them reach Radhika..then why is he publishing her article in his magazine...Vikram Agnihotri is not a fool...what kind of game he is playing..Is he trying to confuse us or he is baiting us ...or helping us. Good work Mr. Vikram...but I will decipher you codes soon...and find my Chashni...just wait and watch.'

Meanwhile somewhere in a small house someone had pasted Radhika's picture on the wall and pierced it with a knife , the strength with which picture was pierced depicted the hatred for Radhika in the heart of this person.
