It was a pleasant sight to witness when your complete family was enjoying themselves to fullest. Neil's eyes were watering with happiness and Felicity seeing the view through glass of hospital door. His lips twitched while he turned to his side-feeling squeeze of his friend. Arjun encouraged him to go inside.

It was evident from the outside look; Prerna faced a minor accident but definitely not admitted in ICU. She had few scratches and bandages on her hand and head, but laughing soundly when her long lost little son was cracking some pathetic jokes. In between Rajiv spoon-fed Prerna, soups provided by hospital to which she made faces. Radhika was taking few snaps of happy time of her best friend. After all it was memories she capturing in photos.

When Sourav landed Mumbai, he was ready to go for a meeting with some new construction site. Rajiv's frightening voice when he called stopped him. He went to hospital just to witness; Prerna had nothing serious to be as a wound even. However, his brain went different direction to show, what exactly he wished. He lied about Prerna being admitted in ICU. In addition, the result came running like all his life was at edge of death god.

"Big, bro. How can you play a prank on me?" Rajiv whined once he saw Prerna was sleeping soundly in casualty injected with an IV.

"Just, let you realise that you too accepted that you have your own family for whom you care. Now, don't be stubborn and go to your mother. She loves you a lot. More than Neil even."Sourav said.

"Let's go."

Radhika just hugged Sourav when he exited for his delayed meeting again.

Neil took his slow steps toward his family. Radhika saw him and got up. Prerna opened her hand for him, while her eyes were glassy. Neil covered the rest distance in two leap of foot, "No, mom."

Neil wiped Prerna's tears, when Prerna took her two sons in embrace. She was content, her soul was at peace. She didn't knew her craving for her family would filled up in such way.

Radhika wiped her corner of eyes while looking at them. She decided to let the family enjoy their gathering for some moments. Everybody wanted some of their personal time to themselves only to cherish it. She was glad finally, everything was falling in its place, and Arjun got back his sister and Neil his brother.

Arjun just came out of his trance, feeling Radhika's touch on his hand. He was about to say something , she shushed him and indicated to sneaked out silently. Once outside Arjun felt her warmth was gone as she withdrew her hand immediately.

"Don't you think, this moment was exclusively belong to them only? No body should be allowed to interfere in it." Radhika asked looking back once again.

"Yes, you are right." He replied stretching his curve of lips.

"Wish, I will get such fullness in my life too, my family." He mumbled the next words in his reverie.

"You will." She blinked her eyes not knowing what exactly he wished. His complete family included her too.

"Let's go outside. Else rats will start fighting in my stomach rather than running." He chuckled hearing her words. She started to walk followed by him.

After igniting his engine, he asked her, "where do you want to go?"

"Any normal Indian restaurant."

Arjun was happy inside seeing Radhika's simplicity even then she earned a lot. She had still her aura of warmth and to stay away from any lavish lifestyle and luxuries made him fall for her more. They took their position and wait for the waiter to come.

Arjun immediately placed his order of few simple dishes; however, his head got bowled away hearing her orders.

"Jeera rice, two naan, dal makhni, kadai paneer, mushroom 65, vegetables kofta, masala papad , curd and for desert gajarhalwa and rasgoolas. Yes! This is it. I will call for you if I need more." She said in one breath and looked up to see both Arjun and Waiter stood there giving her a perplexed look.

"What?"

"Radhika, Don't say you just read menu card from starting to end." Arjun asked still doubtful.

"What are you trying to say? I will eat whatever I ordered and don't eye my precious food. If my stomach will upset I will reason you for that." She bluntly repliedwith a duh tone and turned back to waiter, "I am helping you to gain profit in your business and here, you stood like statue of unity. Go and bring my food fast." She snapped huffing and the waiter ran away grinning idiotic.

Arjun was just amused seeing her and wondered how peaceful and happening his life would be if he listened to his heart long ago. Radhika was package of surprises and he would love to explore every shade of her.

To his shock and thanks to her hunger, Radhika completed all of the ordered food and made him bowled away at once. She gave a winning smirk looking at his slightly parted mouth. She pushed his chin upward, "sir, close your mouth. Else moth will fly into it and make a permanent abode in your mouth."

"Sir?" Arjun raised his brows.

"Just to infuriate you. You are so easy to rile up." She laughed at her own statement.

"Whatever."

Again, they were in car, a complete silence prevailed which Arjun didn't like a bit. He loved her chirpiness. He loved it even when she mocked him. He knew their journey was coming to last stage this time as her destination was near to reach; but he didn't like the idea to live away from her, not even a bit.

"Are you staying at hotel?" He asked after a long inhale. She just gave him an impossible look.

"I mean...you know I have my house still here. If you don't mind, you can stay with Di and me. I already told housekeeper to keep everything clean." He said expectantly wishing her to agree with his condition. He knew his Di could make wonders and Radhika loved to drown in that wonder.

However she only giggled on his statement, " I don't know if you have any idea about it or not. However, our family shifted to Mumbai one year ago. So thanks but no thanks for inviting me to live with you."

"How come I forget that?" Arjun murmured remembering once Manya told them so.

Again, silence overpowered the ride. Amid this Arjun, noticed Radhika was checking her phone and watch continuously.

"What happened? Is anything there urgent?" He asked concerned.

"Nothing. Actually Rajiv and I had planned an evening out today for shopping." She replied fidgeting with her fingers looking outside.

Arjun's postures become straightened hearing Rajiv's name from her mouth. His green fumes started to cascading his whole body.

"I will accompany you to the shopping."

"You?" She was confused. "Why you?"

"Why means what? We should let Rajiv spend his time with his family. Even if he remembered your promise and tell you to come, you should stop him." He replied diplomatically patting himself mentally.

"That's okay. But I can't see why you are interested to accompanying me?"

"Why not?"

"Because I am not interested to buy doggie chain or doggie food for a gift."

Arjun remembered their first open data collection at mall about Maybelline product. How he and Bonnie trapped her with false accusation for sharing data with Chirag, Samudra agency. At that time to avoid her clash with Bonnie, he dragged her to the nearest store which turned out to be a dog's accessories store, in the name of gifting Samaira. Remembering his own deeds, He wanted to bang his head right then. Why he had to do so many wrong deeds with her, which were becoming difficult to remove from her mind.

"Can you please forget that? Apart from that I have a very good sense of choice." More than her, he tried to pacify himself.

"Yeah I know. That doggie chain was quite flashy and dazzling too." She mocked back.

"Okay. As you say my dear majesty."

After lots of argument and struggling, Arjun was finally able to make Radhika to grace the shopping mall with her presence accompanied by him, the lord of arrogance. His chest swelled up in pride as if he achieved something like sending a human spacecraft to Jupiter.

It was no doubt Arjun had a great sense of choice, what he boasted about himself. With his help, Radhika bought an antique piece of jewellery set for Priya and a pair of jingling wind chimes. She knew Priya had a weakness for those things, so rather than clothing and accessories to a fashion designer, she decided to gift her many little things. She herself chosen a dress and went to trial room.

Arjun was amazed with Radhika's pinpoint selections. She didn't wasted her time by looking unnecessary things which were not her list to buy neither running from one showroom to other frequently for choosing a dress. He could adore her for his eternity. He was all-smiling and stealing his glances toward trial room to get a view of her, when his eyes fell on someone whom he didn't want to see.

"Bonnie." He mumbled distasteful band turned away to move when he heard her calling his name.

Not getting any way, he marched toward her trying to avoid view of Radhika who was still in trial room. He knew he had nothing to do with Bonnie, but afraid what would Radhika think if she saw him with Bonnie.

"What a pleasant surprise Arjun! You are here?" Bonnie asked with double enthusiasm, more than a honey coated voice.

"What do you want?" Arjun asked curtly knowing well people like her won't change ever.

"That what you promised to give me and left me in midway." She said coming dangerously close to him placing her palm on his left cheek, not caring they were stood on a public area.

Arjun threw her hand instantly. Controlling his urge to strangle her right there, "Bonnie, if any case you forget, remember that I am still the same old Arjun Mehera for you."

Bonnie laughed like a spook, "So that's how you trapped the Pearl agency ad firm. By trapping their female negotiator."

Arjun's anger was out control then. He was still repenting what he had done with Radhika and Bonnie fuelled to make him turn another side of him. Radhika become a very sensitive point to him, and someone tried to prick that didn't settle well with him. He grabbed her shoulders roughly and made her look into his eyes by clutching her chin in a tight clasp, "Don't dare you point at the lady. Else you very well know what result you can get if I turn to my beast form."

Bonnie didn't know the girl she was talking about was Radhika, but she could say that girl mattered dearly to Arjun. She couldn't admit but then she was scared seeing his rage. She never had seen him so mad and furious about anything. He had a good control on himself to fake his perfection.

"What's going on here?" Radhika's voice made Arjun stumbled and he pushed Bonnie away harshly. Composing himself immediately he turned with a smile to her but shocked looking at her back, there stood Chirag, the same guy from Samudra agency with whom they planned last time to bring bird song down, with his cunning smile.Arjun ignored him and snaked his arm around Radhika protectively.

"See, Ms. Mishra didn't I said how Mr. Mehera plotted his games through ladies. But I didn't know you would be such an easy catch." Chirag said wickedly.

"Chirag." Arjun roared. Apparently, that was Chirag and Bonnie's motive. Bonnie was too shock then to see Radhika with Arjun as the woman they were talking about previously.

"Let's go." Radhika said calmly and handed two of her shopping bags to Arjun. She walked off without waiting followed by Arjun.

"Are you that scared to talk with me?" Chirag instigated and Arjun was coming back when Radhika stopped him.

"I don't talk with creeps." Radhika replied uncaring as if they were useless to spend her time even on them and marched like a queen while Arjun followed her like her knight. However, he stopped at few distance and turned to give them a blood shot dagger. He didn't open his mouth but signed he would see them in his way.

"Radhika.." Arjun tried to talk with her once they were in his SUV.

"You don't need to explain me." She was still very calm which was bothering Arjun.

"But I want to explain."

"I am tired, please." She said and closed her eyes after putting her address in navigation.

Arjun was surprised how extremely collected the girl he adored, when she bid her goodnight wishes and went inside her home. He stood there outside for few more times and then went back thinking about his next day works, which were forcefully induced by two creeps. Nobody dare to insult his Radhika.

Radhika was checking her shopping items she bought and thinking about the incidents happened in that day. Sourav came inside; he seemed little upset, reason unknown to Radhika.

Sourav sat down on nearest couch and gulped down the whole glass of water. He gave a pointed look at Radhika, "You are going back to Oslo, tonight."

That was not a question to ask, Radhika felt it was an order from her Boss considering he never used such tone one her, she knew something big happened.
