Radhika goes inside her room after Arjun leaves....she finds his laptop and mails Sam...hoping Sam might understand why and what she did...Radhika checks her phone and sees 20 missed calls from Neil...she thinks for a minute...and calls him...Neil answers immediately; ''Chashni....I was so worried...why didn't you answer my calls''

Radhika; ''because I had just had the most amazing welcome of my life....leave all that why did you call?''

Neil; ''Not over the phone...meet me now''

Radhika; ''Now?? Let me try I will message you the place once I leave'' Radhika quickly changes into a blue plane chiffon sari as her mother advices her wear sari for few days...she message Neil the meeting location

Nandini watches Radhika leaving and calls Arjun; '' Radhika is going out to meet someone ...she did not answer my question...I doubt she has some proff on us''

Arjun; ''I will handle'' Arjun feels angry on knowing she is meeting someone secretly...but meeting Sam was important as well. He decided to confront Radhika in the night

Cuppa Vile Parle east

Neil is anxiously waiting for Radhika....he watches her entering the coffee parlour and waves at her...Radhika smiles and walks to the table...Neil gets and gives her and arm hug...but in the process he unintentionally keeps his palm on her bruised arm...Radhika let out a painful groan but controls...Neil is taken aback..a day of wedding and she is hurt.; ''Chashni...what wrong...did he hurt you...please tell me I know you cannot hurt anyone you are hiding something...wait why is your foot bandaged''

Radhika lightly smiles; ''Thank you... for still trusting me...but for now I cannot tell you anything''

Neil; ''Chashni I can help you...and I want to...you are my friend....please''

Radhika; ''No Neil...Sam needs you more...I will fight my battle...but will ask your help in case I need it''

Neil extended his palm; ''Promise me that'' Radhika smiles and keeps her palm on Neil's...

Neil; ''Fine come we will have pani puri...then will drop you''

Radhika; ''pani puri is fine but don't come to drop me...please understand'' Neil looks at her dull face and agrees.

Opposite to CUPPA...Aryan's restaurant

Arjun greets waiting Sam with a hug...she hugs him back without any apprehensions as if they are still in relationship....that surprises Arjun but he was happy about it

Sam; ''I don't want to know what happened why it happened...why you married that small town girl...do you still love me''

Arjun; ''Yes Sam...this is why I am here...I want to throw her out of my life...her presence disgusts me''

Sam; ''Fine Arjun...but you will do aas I say...if you want my trust back''

Arjun; ''Yes I will''

Sam; ''Fine meet you at Bird Song tomorrow.....please answer my calls''

Arjun; ''I always do that...I love you Sam...can I drop you home'' Sam nodded and walked to Arjun's car in a wiining posture...but something halted Arjun's steps....across the road...Radhika was enjoying pani puri with a guy...who had his back to Arjun and had tied a handkerchief on his head...she was happily talking to him...and the guy kept pulling her cheeks every now and then...Arjun burned to see another man's hand on her skin...Arjun wanted to know who he was...he decided to take a you turn...Sam was surprised; ''Arjun this is not the right route''

Arjun; ''I am taking you from a longer route so that we can spend some more time together...'' Sam smirked...

Arjun was nearing the spot, but got caught at the signal...from a distance he could see the guy hugging Radhika and leaving...Radhika got into the taxi and left...Arjun gripped the steering hard...he was desperate to know this guy now. May be he was someone helping her...

Radhika walked inside the house...she directly went to her room..and changed ...Mala asked her to come and help her in kitchen...Arjun barged in the house all angry but before he could go to confront Radhika Nandini dragged him aside...''Arjun if you behave harshly infront of her mother...she can go to police...I called her mom to show how mad her daughter is and how good we are with her'' Arjun nodded and looked angrily in the direction of his room...Radhika came out in a salwar and kurta...without giving a glace to Arjun she walked pass him as if he was an untouchable...that might not have hurt Arjun's ego but Radhika had hurt a husband's ego bad.

Sam came home all happy she called Neil...''idiot where are you...I have been trying you all day''

Neil knew she had gone to meet Arjun , he responded scarestically; ''I guess it's the other way round I tried reaching you all day...came to meet you but you wanted to be alone...''

Sam; ''Ok leave all that...guess what I will have my revenge from Radhika...she will live a life of a discarded wife and I will snatch Arjun from her''

Neil felt bad; ''Whatever you do ...you will be the second woman...and Radhika will always be the first'' Sam hearing this agrily disconnected the call

Neil POV; ''By meeting Sam today you proved you are guilty of something....now I have to find this missing link to save Radhika and Sam''

After dinner Arjun barged into the bedroom and bolted it...Radhika who was arranging her clothes felt a little uncomfortable...there was no need for bolting the door...but she goes about finishing her work...Arjun stands at distance behind her ...Radhika could feel the heat radiating from his body; ''Where were you Radhika''

Radhika; ''I did not you about your whereabouts...so I won't answer about mine''

Arjun's anger rises...he grabs her arm and turns her around with a jerk...Radhika staggers because of the force...Arjun eyes her with anger ...but she was unfazed...she just had hatred for him....Arjun with a jerk lifts her body up bringing her to his face level; ''answer me...because no one is goging to come in this room to save you from me''

Radhika winced in pain...he palm was again pressing her bruised arm...she looked at him with anger tears were following down her cheeks; ''What more can you do other than hurting me...so go on...I want to see your limit...so go on'' Arjun forgot everything she was so close he could feel her breath...hear her heart...she was the girl he had fallen for...he cared for ....but he was forbidden to love...yet fate brought him so close to one person he wanted as his for all the birth...Radhika was still twiting her arms to free herself...Arjun pulled her close wrapping an arm around her waist ...he bought her close...Radhika was shocked with this proximity... with all force she pushed him

Radhika; ''I am not Sam sir that you can come close to me...stay away'' that hit him hard...he never wanted to be close to Sam... he just wanted to be close to her...but his bad luck he can never have what he wants

Arjun couldn't lift his eyes to meet radhika's he almost lost his control....Radhika picked her blanket and pillow to move out...Arjun stopped her; ''if you go out...your mom will question you...sleep on the bed ...I will sleep on the couch''

Radhika; ''How can I trust you after what tried to do just now''

Arjun; ''wake up Radhika and have look in the mirror and then look at me...do you think a man like me can fall for someone ordinary like you....just in your dreams....I was just trying to scare you...now sleep before I decide to sleep on bed....Radhika jumped on the bed...covering herself with blanket...Arjun smiled moved to the couch covered himself and closed his eyes...Radhika peeped from the blanket; ''Devil''

Arjun; ''I heard that...sleep Radhika before I decide to sleep on bed'' Radhika quickly curls her body and covers herself from head to toe ...Arjun chuckles...he closed his eyes.. from tomorrow he has to re-join Bird Song...and target Sam again...

Neil called Radjika ....it was past midnight...she checked if Arjun was sleeping quietly moved ...out of the room to take his call...Arjun opened his eyes...and fisted ...''who can call her at this hour...and why she had to go out...sleep left Arjun'.

Radhika; ''Neil its 1:00 AM...what happened???''

Neil; ''Join Bird Song ..Arjun is joining in a day or two ...I want you to join too''

Radhika; ''Piyali ma'am will fire me on sight''

Neil; ''No one will be able to....you just come I will handle everything'' Radhika disconnects the call and goes inside the room..she closes the door lightly and turns to find Arjun sitting on the couch staring at her with red angered eyes.... Radhika moves to the bed but is locked to the wall by Arjun; ''With whom you were talking at this hour''

Radhika; ''A frind...pls move Sir...''

Arjun; ''You are a married girl ...it doesn't suit you talking to random people at this hour''

Radhika who was uncomfortable till now frowns and looks up; ''Marriage??? which is a sham...Sir you brought me here to give me pain....so continue with that...and stop trying being my husband....and move because I never gave you the right to be so close'' Arjun right now was nothing less than a volcano...he just wanted to show her his right on her...but his hands were tied...if people had mind reading power then Radhika...would have screamed reading Arjun's thought s about her...they were angry...and possessive.

Radhika wanted to stop Arjun from going to office....Mala told her about the Pooja which is auspicious for newlyweds...and Radhika tells Mala that Arjun's does not believe in god and won't agree for the Pooja and even she is not interested as this marriage means nothing....Mala goes to Arjun little hesitant

Mala; ''Arjun beta...I have planned a Pooja for you and Radhika's happy life...please be a part of it''

Arjun; ''Ma...I don't believe in God....''

Mala; ''I know Radhika told me...she even said there was no need for this Pooja...because this marriage....'' Arjun feels bad...Radhika doesn't want to pray for a successful marriage with him...but why it hurt him so much...but since Radhika refused he agrees...Nandini fumes and interferes; ''Arjun you need to join office...there is so much pending work''

Arjun; ''nothing will happen in one day''

Mala dress Radhika up in a yellow sari...Arjun enters the room and looks at her proudly making her sit in the Pooja makes him feel victorious...as Radhika gets up to move out....Mala; ''Choti why haven't you applied sindoor...and where is your mangalsutra...''

Radhika POV; ''I don't want to wear the symbol of a sham''

Mala; ''wait...Arjun why don't you make her wear that...'' Radhika looks at Mom to stop her but its late...Arjun ties Mangalsutra around her neck...and puts sindoor in her forehead...claiming her again as his...Radhika feels disgusted...she clenches her sari to control herself....but ARjun's heart feels an amazing calmness....seeing her as his wife soothes his heart...

Samrat comes to Sam....;''Bachu I heard you met Arjun.....you should stay away from him...he is married to Radhika''

Sam; ''Pa I love him...why should I suffer because of Radhika...she spoiled my life''

Samrat; ''May be she saved you...try and look at things in different manner''

Sam; ''Saved??? She always wanted to be with him him...she use to talk all negative about him to dissuade me...but when she failed so she married him''

Samarta huffs giving up; ''think about it Sam...if Radhika made Arjun to marry her...what was the reason he obliged...there has to be something more'' Samrat left her room...Sam thought for a moment but revenge had clouded her mind too much...to think wisely''
