Radhika ran out of Samudra she didn't even look back...she kept running till her legs gave up... she got up and took a taxi to Bird Song she needed her friend right now...she had been trying Neil for very long but he wasn't answering....Radhika quickly paid the taxi driver and without taking the change she ran inside...she messaged Teji to come to the reception soon...but before Teji Radhika collided with Sam...Sam was shocked at Radhika's dishelved hair ... dirty clothes ...and her scared eyes... Sam moved forward; ''Chashni ...what's wrong ...why are you like this.... '' But before Sam could utter a single word more Radhika leaped at Sam hugging her tightly Radhika broke down...Sam felt calm when Radhika hugged her...she lifted her arms and hugged Radhika tightly....she rubbed Radhika's back...Radhika was shivering ; ''Chashni please calm down ...you are scaring me...tell me what happened ''

Teji who just saw Radhika in a miserable condition ...just ran towards the board room where Arjun and Neil were busy in an important meeting... Teji just barged in inviting a frown from Arjun and Neil....Teji gulped and looked at Neil...and spoke in broken words ; ''Neil...Chashni....reception...'' Neil jumped and ran hearing Radhika's name... Arjun was stone ....his breathing turned heavy...he could make out it was somthing serious and Bonnie had already told him about morning...Arjun's POV ' Anuj if you have hurt my Radhika even a bit ...I will show you hell on this earth' Arjun walked out to see what made Teji panic...

When Neil went out he couldn't find Radhika at the reception...the receptionist told him that Sam took Radhika to a meeting room...when Neil entered Radhika was drinking water with the glass tightly gripped in her shivering hands ....Neil noticed something..he caught radhika's wrist...it had deep finger marks...Neil sat on his knees he cupped her face; ''Chashni who did this? Radhika just looked at neil and broke down...Neil hugged her ''Chashni...I am with you..tell me if Anuj did this...''

Radhika between her hiccups; ''Anuj proposed me...and w ... when I refused he tried to....'' She broke down again...; ''Neil I want to go back.... I will not stay here...''

Teji who had turned volcano wiped his tears and asked ; ''Running away is something my Chashni will never do...that to because of that pervert....no you are not going anywhere ''

Neil; ''Chashni....you are safe tell me what happened ...'' Radhika looked up and Neil squeezed her hands....Sam rubbed her back...and teji kept a hand on her head...Radhika gathered her strength ...but something which gave her the real power was Arjun standing in the corner...he never spoke a word...but his eyes spoke a tons of them...he had care affection...support and love for Radhika...Radhika narrent what happened...and hour back

Flash Back

Radhika entered Anuj's cabin after he called her.... ''Yes Anuj''

Anuj who facing the window replied without turning ; ''it's a beautiful morning...and now it has become more beautiful because you are with me''

Radhika was shocked... ''Excuse me''

Anuj turned and smiled he slowly walked towards Radhika and stopped a safe distance ; ''I have been trying to tell this for long... I have fallen for you...I want to spend my life with you....your simplicity...down to earth nature and your intelligence is a lethal combination...please be mine''

Radhika was angry; ''Are you kidding me?? I am married...I am still Radhika Arjun Mehra...and I don't have any feelings for you and I never will''

Anuj little irritated; ''But you are separated...getting divorce is easy...if you prove that your marriage was not a happy one and Arjun tortured you''

Radhika; ''Mind your business Anuj...its my marriage whether I should keep it or not is my decision...pls stay out of it''

Radhika tried moving out of the room but Anuj grabbed her arm... '' You are my business...do you know I just wanted to use you against Arjun.. but I fell for you...and that day at the awards you looked breath taking... I wanted to confess there ... but Neil cam in between...''

Radhika jerked him away; '' You don't love me you want me on your side to be against BS and arjun Sir''

Anuj caught her wrist; ''Just once Radhika let me be close...and you will forget Arjun...'' Radhika slapped him... ''I will never forget him....and I quit'' Anuj was angry now he caught her wrists and pushed her on the table... ''DO you know to keep you how much loss I have incurred...your so called husband ...he took away my contracts...my client base I am on the verge of being bankrupt ...he has left me nothing...now I will keep what he loves the most'' Anuj tried getting close to radhika but she threw water on his face stomped his foot pushed him and ran away from there.

Present

As Radhika ended her narration but she carefully omitted the part where she supported Arjun... all were quite...Radhika was looking down at the floor...her tears were still flowing...she softly broke the silence; ''I am a walking trouble Neil...where ever I go I invite troubles ... I just want to go away... I will leave today...I am done...I am not fit for this city''

Sam cupped Radhika's face; ''If you want to go...we won't stop you but not like this I ...Hrishikeash gave Mumbai a lively Radhika...Mumbai will also give Hrishikesh the same Radhika...pls chashni... you are the strongest of all of us....you can't break like this''

Teji; ''It's time to break Ajun's bones...Neil are you coming''

Radhika; ''I don't want all this...again I will be blamed,, that I tried trapping him... ...I am tired getting blamed...I just want to go''

Neil; ''Fine I won't stop you...but if you leave my friendship with you ends here so think....'' Neil left the room leaving Sam and Teji confused and Radhika pained...Sam and Teji followed him to calm him down

Arjun stood their looking at Radhika who was still looking down at the floor...Arjun walked to her and lifted her chin up...he wiped her tears and made her stand... ''you need a hug a friendly one...'' Arjun opened his arms and radhika hugged him....Arjun closed his arms around her keeping one on her head and the other one around her shoulder...he made sure she wasn't uncomfortable...Radhika for a moment left her anger and distrust behind...and hid herself in his protective arms....she sobbed till she was calmed...Arjun wiped her tears and promised; ''Stop crying...He will pay and now...I will send Neil he will take you home'' Arjun...smiled and radhika kept looking at his face affectionately ... Arjun moved out of the room...and went straight to Neil who was ready to bursts...Sam a was trying to stop him ; ''Neil we will handle him... if you thrash him it can be a police complain''

Neil; ''You would have said the same thing...if it was about your own sister ''

Sam huffed; ''Yes...now calm down...we can handle him in a different way''

Arjun walked in .. ''and I know that different way ...'' Arjun picked up his phone... '' Neha... Arjun this side... a bite for you... Samudra is bankrupt... they are showing fake profits have been fooling their clients for 6 months now....i will mail you their original Balance sheet''

Neha was business reporter from a leading business channel; ''Are you sure???''

Arjun; ''200% ... but I need a favour is exchange of this bite''

Neha; ''And...what is it''

Arjun; ''Want this news online and on your channel in next one hour...''

Neha; ''After verification... done...'' Arjun disconnected and bewildered Sam asked ;''Are you serious ''

Arjun; ''Yes....I was keeping this for end...didn't knew it was this close...Neil...please take her home she needs rest''

Neil; ''Why don't you try''

Arjun smiled; ''Í will take her one day forever ...but when she trusts me... till then she is your responsibility keep her safe Neil'' Neil smiled behind Arjun's back he turned and found Sam smiling at him...

He blushed...since Sam had kissed him...Neil was behaving all shy...and Sam loved flirting with him...

Neil walked back into the room...and grabbed Radhika's wrist... ''come Chashni...time for ice cream..''

Radhika; ''Neil my clothes''

Neil; ''No worries...you don't get out of the car...'' Radhika smiled like a 5 yr old pacified child...and walked out with Neil... Sam watched Radhika leaving... but couldn't gather the strength to stop her...Teji gestured Sam to try... Sam moved forward; ''Radhika ... can you forgive me... even if you don't want to now... I will try again'' Teju banged his head Sam's contradicting statement....Radhika smiled turned around and gave Sam a gentle hug; ''Thanks Sam...for holding me that time'' Sam was emotional but she couldn't bring strength to stop radhika.

Arjun switched the on the business channel...and there was the breaking new flashing... ''Samudra sinks...Anuj fooling his clients...the company has been running in losses for 6 months....'' Arjun smiled looking at the news; '' Anuj... you hurt my Radhika ...I destroyed you... we are even now ...'' Sam watched the news and smiled...Samudra had been harming BS by its illicit practices ...she decided to give him a final dose....Anuj was known for his roving eye...many female employee had quit Samudra due to his advances...Sam dialled a NGO and without disclosing her identity gave themfew bites...Sam knew this was an opportunity for many scorn girls to get back on to him...and ,many will cash the opportunity...

Neil who got the update on his phone ... while enjoying ice-cream with Radhika smiled...his POV; 'Arjun Mehra-love struck puppy' he laughed at his own thought....he gave Radhika one big bucket of ice cream and drove off to his place with her...

Anuj sat in his office lost...he was finished...Arjun Mehra destroyed him...his creditors were calling him contiously ...he was a bank defaulter ...his clients had cancelled their contracts and were asking for their money....Bonnie was so right Radhika bought his destruction... the 2 cr deal with LANCOME was being cancelled...But he was a player winning and losing was part of a game... he picked his phone; ''Put my Bungalow for sale...need to clear creditors....'' He disconnected and made a promise...this does not end here Arjun Mehra...it begins here...

Neil and radhika reached home and Prerna was shocked to look at Radhika...Neil gestured Radhika to take rest and narrated everthing to Prerna ...Prerna took a sigh of relief that Radhika was fine...she went inside to check on her and Neil's phone started buzzing...it was Sam....Neil wiped his forehead and answered; ''Yes Sam''

Sam; ''Idiot...want to kiss you...seems I cant get enough of you...where are you""

Neil ; ''you can't keep forcing yourself on me...I have some dignity'' Neil heard a loud chuckle of Sam and his mother behind his back...he turned red...Radhika who was with Prerna somehow controlled her laughter in order to support Neil... he got so frustrated that he disconnected and went inside his room... cursing everyone on being careless...he screamed for Radhika ; ''Chashni bring me a cup of coffee and make sure you prepare that...I am not talking to mom'' Radhika and Prerna looked at each other and laughed covering their mouth...

Sam was happy that her first step towards radhika was successful...but now she wanted a full hearted forgiveness from Radhika...she wanted her old chirpy Chashni back and was ready to pay any price for that...getting Radhika's apology was her priority now. Sam was still thinking when she got a call she hesitated it was Mala but then answered; ''Hello Aunty ....how are you ''

Mala smile on the other side; ''Sam can you do me a favour''

Sam; ''Please aunty don't request...just say it''

Mala; ''We have kept a function for Riddhima's daughter... I am inviting you for that ....its a request...please come''

Sam; ''Aunty...how will I face everyone...specially radhika''

Mala; ''Do you want old Radhika back....if yes take this chance''

Sam; ''I will come aunty....for sure''

Hrishikesh

Ankush was hell angry...he couldn't believe that Mala invited Sam... ''Ma what's wrong with you....you invited people who are the reason for choti's pain''

Mala; '''They are the same people who convinced us to let her follow her dreams...''

Dilip; ''I understand your point Mala....but choti is coming back after so long...why give her unnecessary pain''All the three started arguing ...about cares and who doesn't about Radhika when dadaji asked them to shut up

Dadaji; ''Dilip you are one who left her alone when she married Arjun...and Ankush she was dead for you ...how come you care now'' All were quite ''We all love her ...and we all want her to old choti...so do as I say...Ankush behave when Arjun is around...and try and understand others point of view too and don't forget even we are blamed to push her to Saral...without even understanding her for a second...we all are her culprit....Radhika loves Arjun she misses Sam....we are just trying to give her what actually is hers...so just do as I say...or I will eat sweets every one hour...All the 3 gaped at Dadaji and Riddhima laughed

Mumbai

Neil had already got the invitation from Ankush and he was all set to visit Hrishikesh...he went to mother ... ''Mom what should I take for Riddhima's daughter''

Prerna; ''Buy some toys or clothes.. ''

Neil; ''Mom you made it look so simple... but how am I suppose to chose...I am taking Chashni with me'' Neil dragged Radhika along...

Bird Song

Arjun entered Sam's cabin...'' need your help...want to do some shopping for Riddhima's new born daughter can you help''

Sam raised an eyebrow; ''You are talking as if I am mother of 10...even I want to... lets go we will help each other'' Sam noticed Arjun's happiness... ''Arjun Mehra I thought you are allergic to smiling ...what's the catch''

Arjun; ''Sam I feel...soon Radhika will forgive me....I am just waiting for that day''

Sam; ''Amen...now let's go'' Sam messaged Neil asking his where abouts he causally told her that he was at city mall shopping with Radhika...Sam thought ; 'Good Arjun can meet Radhika and I will have my way with you...let me see how long you will ignore me'

City Mall

Neil made Radhika go mad rejecting all baby clothes...she took a break and crashed on the sofa nearby ...when felt a palm on her forehead...she opened her eyes to meet Arjun's intense gaze... ''Sir ?''

Arjun; ''Are you fine...you look flushed''

Radhika smiled; ''Neil got me tired...how come you are here''

Arjun moved his hands to his pocket stopping them from touching her; ''My heart said ...I will get some peace here so thought of visiting ....Can we have a cup of coffee''

Radhika; ''Sir I am with Neil...'' Arjun placed a finger on her lips; ''Let him spend sometime with Sam...look that side'' Radhika turned around and found Neil blushing like a girl and Sam moving to him like some rowdy lover boy...she giggled and decided to leave them alone...she looked a Arjun and nodded

Arjun Radhika entered the food court on the terrace...and Arjun guided her to the nearby table ..on the open area of the terrace...The monsoon winds and grey water laden sky made everything more beautiful...Arjun was on the seventh heaven...Radhika smiled at him...the most beautiful smile he had ever seen...he ordered coffee..for both and they shared a silence...Arjun's POV; 'Where to start ...Great Arjun Mehra your confidence goes on a tour right when you need it the most'

Radhika was waiting for Arjun to start the conversation...silence for more uncomfortable her POV; ' Sir please say something...if you keep stealing glances like this... I will melt...GOD HELP ME!'

Neil was discussing something with the sales person in the toy section and Sam was happily drawing patters on his back...making him talk nonsense...neil was not able to concentrate...he called a sales guys and suddenly asked; ''Do you have balls'' The guy went into shock and answered ; '' Sir What do you mean'' Sam laughed loudly....other customers were just gaping at Neil...Neil was embarrassed to the core...he just said a polite sorry and left the store to get some fresh air...Sam followed him laughing...Neil had had enough he closed his eyes twisted his neck... turned around...caught hold of Sam's hair pulled her and kissed her deep...Sam's eyes popped out he broke the kiss and spoke; ''Laugh now'' Sam blinked for a second and jumped on him... '' I love you Idioit I really do''

Neil closed his arms around her and spoke ; ''And I love you Samrunder Singh'' Youngsters clapped and elders cursed them
