At Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport

Standing outside entrance of the airport, Sourav was giving few instructions to Radhika who was nodding like an obedient child. He smiled in her innocence and caressed her face affectionately.

"Do you think I am doing wrong to send you back without giving you any reason?" He asked apprehensively.

"Did I question you?"

"No. Still."

"I trust you more than myself."

Sourav took her in his embrace protectively. She never let him down and he wouldn't let anyone to trash her happiness. He felt proud for the faith she had in him. Even in times, his fiancée and Rajiv countered back him; but she never questioned. That thing made him more protective about her.

Patting her cheek dearly, he wished her a safe journey, "Go. It's time now."

"I will call you, once I reached."

"Goes without saying." He chuckled.

He stood their till she passes security check in and looked at her lean figure until she got disappeared with crowd.Looking at his latest model Royal Roger Dubuis Excalibur, he noted it was two past fifteen minutes already, in night.

Leaning on his car bonnet, still outside of the airport he dialled a number, after fighting with his inner conscience. Call was picked surprisingly in two ring, "I want all of your employees who involved in project from The Pearl, sharp at nine AM."

"Is anything serious, Mr. Singhania?" Samrat instantly got up and walked toward the balcony.

"Let's see, later."

Sourav ignited engine of his car, while last afternoon events flashed back to him.

He was coming out of his meeting where he cracked another deal and was about to call his family, when an official email from Oslo made him startled. It was from board of directors audit team. Audit only happened abruptly, when there was some discrepancy regarding project occurred, but as long he knew, he always encouraged for the transparency in work. His ethics were hard and so as morals.

When he called head office to know the reason behind this sudden visit, they sent some attachment to him and reasoned their doubt regarding their account might be hand over to wrong hand due to personal favouritism and affair. They stopped and told him to check the attachment.

His whole existence got enraged because of the false allegations and accusations they were throwing toward his little girl.That time it's about her dignity. If he wanted, he had those powers to dissolve the audit unit anytime; but that only confirm the false accusations. He had better plans to counter back.

At Bird song, almost everyone was present even it's still half an hour left to be nine O'clock. Samrat and Piyali looked worried. Teji was still yawning getting a pinch from Zubin who sat next to him. Teji gave a narrow eye to him in return Zubin poked his tongue out only earning low laugh from Kritika. Piyali turned to them with a glare and they all straightened and back to their work.

"Paa, what happened?"Samaira came running as she had to rushed office from airport directly with Priya, as they were returned from Hrishikesh right in the morning.

Samrat just shrugged and shook his head. Then they heard pissed off voice of Rajiv who was cursing his phone as if the object had ears to take whatever he was blabbing. Neil was tailing behind him, trying to calm him, "Chill yaar. She must be busy and forget to switch on her phone."

"No. I found it absurd when big bro even avoided." Rajiv had a hunch of cynicism as his face was devoid of any expression, " I can smell the hurricane from far. Just no idea who's gonna be target."

"Means?"

"You will see." Rajiv sighed and thought to to himself, "Sourav bro was interfering means..."

"Let's see. Whatever it is?" Neil dragged his brother inside conference room, when his eyes fell on over enthusiastic Arjun who entered office with a broad smile and looking at his watch frequently. He smiled looking at Arjun.

"What happened, your Majesty? Did you do some naughty naughty things behind us, so that you are beaming like a fool?" Neil teased Arjun with a puppy eye blinking it nonstop and palms together on his chest.

"Stop it you idiot." Arjun faked an arrogance while cleared his throat and went forward.

"I see. You were just happy to be with chasini." Neil squealed happily and followed him to the room.

"Why I am here even?" Priya complained.

"Sorry, Di. It's urgent."Samaira mouthed and she returned with an understanding nod.

"Di." Arjun happily rushed to his sister who stopped him from just one-foot distance before he could blow her away with his speed.

"I can guess something pleasant happened with you. I told you to be with Prerna aunty. Did you?"

"Oh no, Di. We had our private family time, so had he?" Rajiv said with mischief in his voice.

Arjun just plainly ignored him to avoid further interrogation and looked around the boardroom, with bewilderment.

"If you are here, where is your partner?" He asked immediately.

That question made Rajiv to back into his thinking mode again.

"She returned back to Oslo."

Everyone turned to the direction from where the sound came. Sourav entered the conference room, exactly on nine AM.His eyes moved all around the room, checking the number of people present there. When his eyes fell on Priya, she smiled but he turned away, just like that. She knew something was wrong.

"What do you mean by that? She should be here for completion of project. And big bro, why didn't you tell me about it?" Before Arjun could say anything Rajiv beat to it.

"I hope you don't forget this is office." His words shocked Rajiv and Priya too.

Priya was alerted. Radhika was not present, Sourav snapped at Rajiv; something bad must had happened.His face was devoid of any expression, body language was extremely calm but eyes, looking like his amber eyes were holding an unsettling storm. She noticed his stance got hard and furious as he clenched his fist to control himself once his gaze fell on Arjun. What her brother did now? That's not a good sign.

"Make another presentation for the project. Show me the design, selected channels, targeted customers report with new tag lines. Prepare the overview by five PM."

Everyone just shocked that how would they prepare everything in such short span of time.

"Is anything...."

Before Piyali could say anything Sourav cleared the seriousness in air, " it's necessary as one audit team is coming tomorrow."

"Audit? Now? It's still more than two third of time there to reach dead line."Piyali stated the fact.

"Not when they doubt you get the project in handy."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone complained at head office, that bird song got project due to favouritism and personal affairs." He answered.

Then it was the news, which made uproar immediately. They all knew, they did so much hard work to get those account. Nevertheless, why such nonsense spread, there was no cogitation.

"But that's not truth. You all know." Arjun stated little bit hyper.

"Prove it then." Sourav replied bluntly without looking at him.

"Now don't look at my face and go back to work."

Though they were reluctant at first but knowing the seriousness, they leave for work as soon as possible.

Arjun, Priya and Neil, Rajiv left with Sourav who was constantly busy with his phone not even sparing a glance to their presence. He received the incoming call, "Simon, make sure she didn't go to office or any official reach to her."

He barked the orders to his loyal person.

"Is this the reason Radhika went away?" Arjun asked doubtfully hoping that was not.

"How does it matter to you?"

"It matters to me everything that concerned with Radhika." Arjun said with exasperation while his voice went higher notch.

"Don't try to raise your voice on me, Mr. Mehera." Sourav said with a little warning. Priya and Rajiv looked each other helplessly.

"Just calm down, Sourav. It's just he....." Priya tried to intervene when Sourav stopped her showing his palm.

He took out an envelope from his file and threw on the table scattering the contents inside it spread over.Not only Arjun but also everyone present there stood stupefied. Not a single word came from their mouth.

The whole table filled with Radhika's photographs with Arjun, few in intimate position, which was taken when Arjun knocked himself out in alcohol and went to Radhika home in night to confront her, but fell on top of her caging her into himself due to the intoxication from alcohol. One he was hugging her tightly on the way to Hrishikesh when he saw one bike rushed toward her. Other when he lifted her to hospital and rushing with tension, when Saral sedated her. Another was from yesterday, at mall and restaurant, happy moments. However, from outside it was only looking like they were sharing a deep bond.

Basically, The complaint was filed that Radhika had illicit relationship with Arjun, so birdsong got contract rather than other agencies.

"This is not true. Yes, the incidents, which showed in pictures, are true, but the intention behind it was not wrong. You know what happened exactly on those times. Moreover, I won't do anything which will put Radhika in tight spot." Arjun explained desperately while holding a picture in trembling hand. He was not sure who did click such pictures and gave a complete different angle.

"It won't make any difference if I believe or not."

"What do you want me to do?"Arjun asked.

"Fix this." Sourav pointed toward the pictures.

"Remember you have time till next sunrise."Sourav straightened his tie, adjusted his waistcoat, and went away followed by Rajiv.

"Who the hell did this?"Arjun banged the table in frustration. Priya and Neil tried to calm him down.

It was about not only him or his love. It was about the agency too, for which he even worked, many employees worked day and night to get that account. Who must be targeted him?

Rajiv and Sourav came out of building and went to his car.

"What's next? What should we do now?" Rajiv asked biting his nail.

"I am going to my hotel room to have a peaceful nap. Wanna join me?"

Rajiv looked at him as if Sourav grew two horns immediately. His frowns were cleared when he understood what exactly his boss com brother was thinking, that smile said everything. Woah!! Sourav could smile in such situation too.

"You have your plans already brother." Rajiv stated in awe.

"You wish."

"Then why asking Arjun Mehera. You know di, will be upset a and worried too." Rajiv whined.

"Di ki chamche, I have my reason to do that."

"What is it?"

"Arjun claimed he loves our sweetie. Let's see what he can do for her, till which extent he will go to save her dignity. Last time he was the reason for her humiliation, but this time."Sourav answered sighing and stopped.

"Just give him names of the culprit. It will be easy for him."

"Yes. That's like my big bro." Rajiv pecked Sourav out of blue in happiness who in return chuckled, "both brothers have same habit."

"I am coming with you today."

"I know that. Let's move." The loud screech of vehicle indicated they move toward the hotel.

"Arjun, who do you think did it?" Neil asked tapping his foot on floor while Pacing from one side to other.

"I don't know." He exhaled a long breathe when got up suddenly.

"Those two morons?" He questioned himself while his doubt got cleared seeing message from Rajiv.

'Your old companions turned your enemies.'

"Bonnie and Chirag." He sat down and closed his eyes just to calm him down.

"I know what to do. I won't leave those two morons this time." He picked his car key and ready to go when Neil held him back.

"Let me come with you."

"No. You should present here. Help to do presentation for tomorrow and other works. Sam can't manage everything alone." He had a point too.

"But you will be alone."

"No, I am taking my sherni Di and Teji."

"Teji?"

"He was last time in Bonnie house. He had knowledge about it from before." Arjun went out with Priya and Teji.

Bonnie inserted keys to unlock her door, but shocked it's already unlocked. Her hand went inside her sling bag and settled on pepper spray, settling beside a knife cutter. Her steps were certain and poised, as she proceeded toward her bedroom upstairs. The room was in complete darkness except few scented candles placed on the table near the balcony. The fragrance of flower petals made her to look her room again, she found few petals of roses scattered on her bed and the floor of room. Looking in front, her feet stopped seeing a figure, sitting leisurely on the armchair showing his back to her. Her fist got strong on her little safety weapons as she got them out to attack; only to be startled hearing the known voice.

"Welcome home, sweetheart."

What was happening around her? Is that Arjun Mehera? She couldn't believe herself. She always wanted him to be hers. However, he never glanced toward her. Even though her mind started to seed few doubts on his sudden appearance, her heart did jumped in joy. She knew after the stunt she pulled with the help of Chirag, he would come to her and more over birdsong destruction was what she wished most. The agency, which pushed her out to rot in hell, should face hell itself.

"What are you thinking so deeply? Won't you give me a hug for my return?" Arjun said seductively running his knuckles on her face. She tried to find out if he was playing with her, but his face didn't give away anything except a big smile plastered on his face, like old days. Moreover, his slightest touch did so much uproar in her thought process.

"Oh! Yes. I am so happy, Arjun." She hugged him tight so that no gap was there. Once Arjun's face come past her shoulder his face muscle become hard with rage filled in his eyes. He smirked over his thought, 'you dare to play with my girl's dignity. You should pay for that and I already know what could humiliate you more the way you tried to butcher Radhika's character, I won't leave you for that.'

"Don't you think we should celebrate this moment?" Arjun asked parting himself, coming back to his previous smiling face.

"Definitely Arjun. What should we do?" She was so engrossed in herself; she didn't notice the extreme sweetness from Arjun Mehera could never be real.

"Let's go on a date." He put forth the words in same expression.

"Only you and me. No disturbance I want this time." This time his voice was husky and he was intimidating.

"Yes. I need to change."

"No need. You look pretty in anything." She blushed on his words and went to pick her phone and wallet. Arjun stopped her.

" What's the need of those things when you are with me?" He didn't say further and dragged her out with him.

After igniting his engine, he looked at his rear view mirror reflecting his sister and Teji. He showed thumbs up, lowering his hand to car window and closed it up. Bonnie looked at him still wondered, while he smiled again and called someone, "Make the dinner so delicious, so that the taste will never fade away from mouth."

Bonnie smiled at choice of his words thinking about food; but did Arjun talk a sentence with single meaning?

In addition, they went away when Bonnie was in her dream world and Arjun was weaving his ploys. His smirk got wider thinking how karma was returning.

"What the hell? Di, your brother had gone mad. How can he think about dinner this time? Fool." Teji complained while unlocking Bonnie home.

"You stupid just don't utter a word if you don't understand puzzle." Priya slapped back of his head.

Teji rubbed the place where he was slapped and mumbled, "why am I the only scapegoat to invade Bonnie's house always?"

"Don't talk to yourself. Let's go her bedroom."

Both reached upstairs and opened the room to be shocked seeing the decorations. Teji jumped by laughing aloud while playing with flower petals, "Di, don't say, your brother came here to do ...mmmmhhhhh.....you know...." He shied away by himself blushing red and lay on armchair being froze thinking something unimaginable.

"Arjun isn't like that." Priya defended her brother and saw Teji was still in his same position.

She shook him hard to made him put of his trance, "stupid, this is not time for dreaming."

"yes...yes..."

They both got Bonnie's phone and search Chirag name.

"Come fast. I have my friend returned from Oslo who knew the audit team there. We can defeat Arjun Mehera and Bird song this time."

The message was sent and they both gave hi-fi waiting for the prey to come.
