London Heathrow international airport

Arjun was hell excited when he stepped out from his flight. The almost thirteen hour journey took his all energy by sitting at one place; but his eager to see his love interest made him forgot all tiredness from journey. He immediately hopped in the car waiting for him after all the checking out formalities and rushed to his home for some fresh feel before meeting Radhika.

Unfortunately, things never went as you wish. It happened with Arjun Mehera. When he reached his home, his mailbox was filled with some important messages including one meeting on particular day for what he couldn't ignore. He immediately called back Rajiv to know about Radhika's schedule for day and left for his work.

After her meeting finished, Radhika sighed in relief. She was happy that the meeting went well and she already planned to visit the city monuments and enjoy herself. Simon, the trusted person accompanied her to London as per Sourav's order, coughed to gain her attention while she was smiling by herself.

'Yes, Simon! What's the matter?' She asked mirthful and jovial.

'Maam, you have another meeting with a new entrepreneur we never worked.' Simon stated robotically as per he was instructed before.

'With whom? But I didn't find any more meeting schedule after this when I checked my note in morning.' She asked doubtfully.

'It is an immediate order from Sire. Just half an hour back.'

'Sourav said?'

'Yes, Ma'am.'

Radhika was about to dial Sourav when his call came.

'Hey sweetheart. I hope you are enjoying.' Priya's chirpy voice came from other side.

'I was in meeting, di. About enjoying, I was intended before but the fiancee of yours ruptured it.' Radhika whined to her like a kid.

Priya chuckled hearing her, 'I already fixed a guide for you. Just go with Simon.'

'A Guide?'

'Enjoy your rest of the trip. All the best sweetie. Hope you both will mingle very soon.' Priya uttered out last sentence in a state of excitement without getting she was telling everything to Radhika.

'We both you mean?' Radhika questioned in uncertainty.

'Errrr....I have something urgent come up. Bye dear.' Priya disconnected the call immediately while shaking her head furiously on her stupidly.

Although she would support whom Radhika chose as her life partner, but in her heart she wished Radhika with Her brother. She knew it was only girl Radhika, who could tame her brother, yet everything would be as per her wish and importantly Arjun would be a better man than what he was. Priya knew what exactly Radhika was capable of and what effects she had on Arjun, unknown to her. Else, god forbid, her little bratty brother would love to go Green and snap at everyone at every chance; what she didn't want.

Priya was very well aware about Arjun's lack of expressiveness about his feelings except some extreme one. That's why she wished her brother should spend some private time only with his love interest. She hoped that time he would be able to blossom those inhibited feeling in Radhika's heart too.

'Mingle? With whom?' Radhika raised her brows and looked at Simon who gulped awkwardly.

'You will know Ma'am once we reach there.' Simon said apologetically unable to express the whole thing.

'Sure thing. Let's go.'

While crossing the river Thames over London Bridge, Radhika looked at the surroundings with a mixed feeling. She didn't know what to feel about the city which felt like built up on looted things, blood and sweats from the colonization on different countries before. Her mood suddenly went sour remembering the poor condition of her beloved country under British Raj.

Her trance broke when Simon opened door for her and asked her to get off as they reached their destination. Radhika looked up the building in front of her, looked like shielded with transparent blue glass made it look like the castle from Frozen animation. Her gaze fell on logo, AR Construction Ltd. Her brain immediately worked and she searched on Google.

After good one minute Radhika laughed openly making Simon puzzled.

'So, Mr Mehera is the guide and companion, Di talked about.' She told looking at Simon who nodded his head positively.

'If I am not wrong, you have an old friend here. You can leave now, I will manage from here.' Radhika said to the old man who was beaming hearing her.

'But, sire?' Simon expressed his worries.

'No need to be afraid. I will handle him.' Radhika assured, as she knew very well Simon had no one except his work and that old friend. It was not exactly he had none, he had a family once but they had practically no relation with the old man whom they threw out years before thinking as useless when he had no job.

It was a long story how Sourav and Simon got along with each other but one thing was true both respect and care for each other. She stepped inside the building slowly.

In India

After a long tiring day at office, Samaira thought she should meet Neil. The incident happened at office before could not let her be in peace. While doing their project, she noticed the hired model Sharon had a thing for Neil and the thing, which irked her most was Neil's interest on her each word. He was attentive for each word of Sharon. That's called jealousy which she was feeling very first time. By the time she reached at Neil home, Neil was preparing some cookies for Rajiv. Samaira went to kitchen and looked at Neil who was baking with his whole concentration even he didn't acknowledge her presence. Her face fell off but she hid it immediately.

'Can I get few?' She asked while drooling over the choco-chips and dry fruits loaded cookies.

'No.' Neil denied straight while covering the whole plate with his both hand, 'it is for someone near to my heart. Not for you.'

Neil knew he upset his little brother by bringing the marriage proposal idea to his mother, when he knew well how Rajiv hated the whole thing. From two days, he was trying to pacify his brother who was not giving a glance toward him. He wanted to bang his head when Prerna supported his little brother. Although he knew they both were playing mischief game with him, but he was happy to do anything for his little family, which was completed after his long lost brother found.

In all those, Neil forgot to notice Samaira who was pale right then. It was complete new for Samaira because Neil never said no to her for anything. She was beyond appalled. She turned to move away while clearing her fresh teardrops, while remembering each of past ignorance she did with Neil when Arjun entered her life at first. She took it as her own Karma. Prerna was observing her; she made Samaira understand the whole thing. She took her leave and reached to open the Iron Gate.

'Do you love my brother?' Rajiv came behind Samaira who noticed Samaira not for that day but from the day, he heard about her from Radhika and observed her from the day he came to India.

Samaira smiled faintly, 'What do you think?'

'If you will be true to your heart then I can help you, Bhabi.' Rajiv said thoughtfully and went inside home.

Samaira was stood like stone hearing Rajiv. She thought she would disliked the idea being called Bhabi or anything; but when Rajiv addressed her such she felt immense joy in heart. It gave her authorization that Neil was her, only her like before. She opened her message box and typed,

'Yes. I love my idiot very much just too late to realize.'

In London

Radhika stepped inside AR construction ltd to meet the chairperson Arjun Mehera. She checked with receptionist who let her go inside; but his PA Lilly asked Radhika to wait for few moments, as his boss was busy with an important meeting. However, the truth was Arjun was busy with some business people but that was not so important, by that time his all meetings ended well and they were randomly discussed few things. Although he wanted to wrap up things as soon as possible, but that was out of courtesy to leave your clients on their own.

Moreover, his PA Lilly had a bad habit that she never allowed any woman to meet her boss so easily. She always fix the appointment time when Arjun was hurry for something. She personally attracted toward him, so did all this to keep Arjun away from ladies especially. She liked that her boss never interested toward the girls who ready to throw themselves over him; but that habit was developed for Radhika she had no idea, she stopped Radhika unknown to the upcoming storm waiting for her. Radhika just nodded with her instructions with a serene smile and decided to wait.

Radhika roamed inside the construction building and praised its designs mentally. She had to admit Arjun had a great taste in design, decoration etc. even she saw it when he helped her in mall back in India. She descended few steps on spiral way to the pantry in the same floor. While brewing her own cup of coffee she turned to the glass wall while looking outside the city. The whole landscape of the city was visible making the taste of coffee sweeter.

Arjun was looking at his watch frequently, he sighed and look outside of his cabin. Pantry area was just opposite to his cabin although it was little below. His eyes fell on the slender figure who seemed very familiar to him. Once realization struck to him, he excused himself and came out hurriedly.

Arjun stood on first step of stair dumbstruck. He even pinched himself to believe Radhika was in front of him. She came up with a chuckle looking at his state. He closed the distance without caring the office environment by taking her in his embrace, 'I missed you so much to death.'

'It was not even a week. You are acting weird Mr. Mehera.' A surprised Radhika told in his firm yet gentle embrace.

'Mr. Mehera look at your state, people may mistake you saw some alien species.' She giggled on her own statement.

'How you are here? I mean when you came already, why you didn't go inside rather than standing here.' Finally, Arjun asked after getting back his composure. His happiness didn't know any bound as his smile never left his face and the brightness in his mood clearly visible.

His PA Lilly was literally shocked seeing Arjun's excitement. Her boss always expressed his irritation over ladies but the scenario was completely different then. It was like her boss tried to impress the lady in front of her. Her eyes once again roamed on Radhika and her expression changed into something like loathe and abominate.

'I am here for work. I have my appointment also, but your PA said you're busy with important meeting. So I decided to wait.' She told the fact casually.

Then Arjun threw his murderous rage towards his PA. Lilly was literally shaking from his rage-filled glance only. He went near her, 'How dare you to make her wait when she have her appointment?'

He roared like lion.

'I am extremely sorry sir. I did not know....'

Arjun did not let her finish and told in finality in his voice, 'you are fired.'

Lilly had tears with an unbelievable expression. However, that didn't make any difference to Arjun.

'Out, right now.'

'Arjun.' Radhika interfered seeing the seriousness of situation. Her hand was on his arm. He immediately calmed down as if a bucket of ice fell on fire. Even Lilly noticed the effect Radhika had on her Boss. She guessed who Radhika might be in his life and felt stupid of herself.

'She was just doing her work. That shows her loyalty to you.' Radhika added to which Arjun stared her and she blinked her eyes on positive nod.

'Okay, you say that's why.' Arjun told to Radhika and turned to Lilly, 'She saves you for now.'

'And don't forget to give respect her like you give me. Even without appointment dare to stop her again you will be outside of this company.' He ordered again.

'I will remember sir.' Lilly said bowing her head.

' Thank you Maam.' Lilly said to Radhika when Arjun held her hand took toward his cabin.

After the peasantries and formal greetings, they called it for day. Arjun looked at Radhika with admiration in his eyes, ' I wanted to surprise you but you did it. And I absolutely love it.'

Radhika smiled hearing him, 'Di said she found me a tour guide for my rest of trip, so I am here.'

Arjun laughed out then, 'Only my sister can pull such strings. Guide, seriously? I hope she never make me as your chauffer, chef and finally coolie.'

'So should I take it as you denied her offer?' she asked with a straight face.

'When did I say no? I will do it.' Arjun replied hurriedly imagining Radhika left him.

Radhika giggled loudly, 'You are very easy to rile up, Mr. Mehera.'

'Not again.' Arjun gritted his teeth.

'it's Arjun for you. Its as simple as your name.'

'I never said your name is complicated, Mr. Mehera.' She again said stressing on Mr Mehera and their banter went on.

Although Radhika posed so many reasons, Finally Arjun able to convince her to move to his home rather than staying in hotel. He was very cheerful and contented to show Radhika his new house, which he bought only with his income after parting from Nandini. After entering his house premises, Arjun said Radhika to go inside, while he would be back after parking. While walking on pathway to his house, a villa exactly she noticed the stares on her from guard to gardener. Standing in front of the door, she was contemplating weather to ring the bell or wait for Arjun, the door opened magically reveling an old lady in front of her.

'Madame, finally you came! I always told master that his search won't go in vein.' The old lady said with enthusiasm making Radhika confuse.

Radhika looked her surrounding to find another lady but there was none. Then she turned to face the old lady, ' sorry, but Are you telling me those things?' she told pointing herself with confusion.

'Yes, my Lady.'

'Do you know me? But as far I remember this is first time I am seeing you.'

'Come inside Madame.' The old lady asked politely.

Right then Arjun reached and he almost dragged her inside. It was a well-furnished mansion of Arjun. Once they went inside the servants worked there stared at Radhika shockingly because they never witnessed any second woman there other than the house cleaners. It was very first time they saw their master brought an woman and seemed bewitched by her too. As Arjun was too obvious with his jovialness and beaming eyes only glued to Radhika.

'I will bring you some refreshments.' The old lady was about to go but stopped by Arjun.

'No, Aunt Agatha, you stay by side of Radhika. I will bring.' Arjun said and went to kitchen immediately. Radhika was looking at both still perplexed. She was clueless what's happening around her.

Seemed like aunt Agatha understood her turmoil, ' Madame, son Arjun wants to do everything for you. He didn't know cooking but he was learning. He loves you very much. He always talked about you from two years after he return from India, your chirpiness, righteousness despite you are threatened. I know what Nandini Madam did with you was wrong, what our master did was equally wrong but our master is very different. Once you will know him well, you will have same opinion about him like us. Last two years were painful for him. He cried every night remembering you, but never shared his pain with anyone. I never saw him like that weak and fragile. He captured your moments very beautifully, that's how I come to know about you. I can say you are the only girl who captured his mind, heart and soul.'

Aunt Agatha's little speech came to end which made Radhika more bewildered. She just knew Arjun loved her because he proposed her before and his green monster filled actions told her many times; but that would be such deep, profound, chaste which yearning was limitless. She was astonished to discover such things. Something hit her very hard on string of her heart. She was zoned out in her thoughts when Arjun back with tray full of light snacks and three-cool mint ginger ale.

Radhika came back to reality when Arjun snapped in front of her. His still delighted mirthful expressions pricking her. What should she do? Should she believe the man in front of her? But her past came in between. She felt like churn between two most rouged feelings.

As its said go with the flow.
