Arjun entered his house all angry and went to his room...after 10 minutes he heard the bike sound and peeps through the window...Arjun burned looking at Radhika smiling and talking to Neil...Neil pulls her cheeks wishes her for the night...and leaves...Arjun changes and goes to personal Gym...he starts punching the bag...recalling all the events of the day...Radhika on Neil's bike...Neil holding her hand...Neil and Radhika in cafeteria...Neil dropping her home...Neil's words ''my Chashni''...Radhika moves to her room when Mala calls her; ''Choti go and give this black coffee to Arjun''

Radhika; ''Why me Ma?''

Mala; ''because he is your husband...go now'' Radhika huffs and takes black coffee to Arjun's gym...she knocks enters Arjun who was standing leaning on the wall to catch his breath..looks at the door...Radhika moves to the table and keeps the coffee on the table...''Sir Ma has send Black coffee...I am keeping it on the table...please have it''

Arjun moves in Radhika's direction and locks her to wall; '' What are you trying to do...Radhika?''

Radhika ; ''Sir I don't know what are you talking about...and please let me go''

Arjun; ''You and Neil....do you think you can make me jealous...stop playing cheap tricks''

Radhika raised an eyebrow; ''Are you jealous? But why...I didn't feel anything looking at you and Sam together...Oh! Now I get it...it hurts your male ego...to see your substitute wife with someone else or you are scared that I will gain the trust of others too and you will be unmasked...right Sir?''

Arjun was hurt hearing she didn't feel a thing when he was with the other girl...but he masked it; ''Do you really think I am jealous...pity you...I have a reputation Radhika...and won't let anyone spoil it...till you have my name behave yourself...''

Radhika; ''Reputation!....which will be crumbled to dust soon...You cannot stop or force me....I will do what I believe in...now move before your sister sees us together like this'' Arjun kept looking at her face without blinking even once...in his head he was counting to 10 to calm his anger...if he loses his control now...then Radhika will not even get a chance to scream...Arjun walked backwards...Radhika quickly moved out of the room...but before she was completely out of the room a sudden thud made her turn...Arjun had punched the bag so heard that it came down on the floor....radhika looked at the bag and then at Arjun...who was still staring her...she just lowered her gaze and walked off...Arjun didn't wanted to divorce her...he wanted to keep her for life...as only his.

Neil after dropping Radhika went to his friend's place...he showed Neil some old pics of Nandini with Samrat and also told him that and she still holds a property in Panchgani...she keeps travelling there and if get access to it for few hours they can get more details...Neil kept staring at Samrat's pic with Nandini his POV ;'' Samrat Sir I have my answers...more chashni will give me....now I have to think about Panchagani...how he had to think...Neil thanked his friend...and left for his house

Sam was lost...she felt something...but couldn't understand what...The way Neil stood up for Radhika and the way he was paying attention on her was bothering her...Neil was neglecting sam..atleast she felt that..Sam got up and started pacing in her room...her POV; 'No not Niel...he is my Idiot....I will not lose him' Sam dialled Neil; ''Neil are you fre''

Neil; ''just reached home''

Sam shocked; ''But you left office at 6...its 9 why so late''

Neil smiled; ''was with Chashni...had a good time...you tell me anything urgent''

Sam; ''Wanted to meet you''

Neil; ''Some other day Sammy...very tired...and even mom is waiting for dinner...good night''

Neil disconnected and thought...you can't have everything you want Sammy...you and Arjun tested me enough now its my turn...''

Sam crashed on her bed...''Why Neil...you were never so indifferent to me why now...what has changed? ...yes how can I forget radhika...I wish I would have never met you...wish you never walked into our lives...its all because of you...I will punish you for my pain Radhika...and bad. Sam smashed vase on floor to give some satisfaction to her angry heart.

Nandini was frustrated...she could easily make out...how badly Arjun wanted Radhika...his eyes moved with her...and each growing day...he was getting distracted...radhika helped Mala in the kitchen...she knew nandini was making Mala do all the work...she softly touched Mala's shoulder; ''Ma you go...I will do the rest''

Mala; ''Let me warm the milk for Arjun''

Radhika ; ''Ma go...I will do it'' Mala smiled and left...Nandini watched radhika cleaning the kicthen and warming Milk for Arjun...she went in the kitchen on pretext of getting water...Nandini took the hot vessel poured the milk in the glass and spoke; ''Give this to Arjun and don't forget...'' Radhika did not respond..Nandini kept the hot vessel close to where radhika was cleaning and walked out...Radhika...while wiping the slab...came in contact with the vessel and her delicate wrist was imprinted with a scarlet burn mark...she let out a painful groan...she knew Nandini did it...Radhika applied some ice and moved to her room....Radhika kept the milk on table; ''Sir please have...'' she was continuously blowing breath over her burn wrist....

Arjun noticed and caught hold of her hand ; ''Now How did you get this...why can't you be little careful... come''

Radhika pulled her hand with a jerk ;''How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need your help'' Arjun rubbed his forehead and lifted her up...and bought her to the basin...Radhika kept protesting and blabbering...Arjun locked her body between his arms...plastering her back to his front...he pulled her burn wrist under the water stream...and locked her other hand to her waist...finally she stopped struggling...Arjun kept watching her...she was angry....but he liked everything about her...Arjun brought her back to the room and applied ointment...''go sleep on the bed I will sleep on the couch''

Radhika; ''I will take the couch....I don't trust you....what if you change to bed in the night''

Arjun observed her...then sat on his knees; ''Radhika ...I know I am bad...but I am not a pervert...fine sleep where ever you feel safe''

Radhika after a sec; ''Sorry Sir didn't mean that...just don't want to hurt myself anymore'' Arjun looked at her bewildered Radhika...quickly lies on the couch and covers herself..turning her face away from him...Arjun took a deep breath and settles on his bed...time and again he turns and looks at sleeping Radhika...his POV..'you don't know how much I want to hold you...be close to you...but I am the doomed one....I will bring you back to me ...that's a promise' Arjun smiles and dozes off...

Neil parked his bike at the nearest bus stop and messaged radhika to come...he didn't wanted Mala to worry on radhika- Arjun's relationship... Radhika was in washroom...Arjun heard the message tone...he looked at the washroom and picked her mobile...but before he could read the message Radhika snatched it; ''Bad habit''

Arjun just smiled...radhika picked her bag up and walked out of the house after waving to Mala...Arjun followed her ....He unlocked the car ;''Radhika I will drop you''

Radhika smiled; ''Sir I don't repeat my mistake...cant turst you now...if I trust you again...you might leave me at place from where I can never return...so I will take care of myself'' radhika walked off

Arjun felt as if someone stabbed his heart...he quietly took driver's seat and fired the engine...Arjun drove in the minimum speed to check on Radhika...he found her walking to the bus stop...Neil was waiting for her...she sat behind him and they drove off...after reaching office Neil kept scratching his head as to how to get access to Nandini's panchgani house...Teji knocked...Neil gestured him to come in..

Teji; ''What's the problem Boss?''

Neil narrated everything....and then Teji smiled; ''Neil...we have to a shoot for a skin cream...Piyali ma'am was asking about the location...let's suggest Panchgani...and since it's your and Radhika's project she won't be able to refuse...Neil smiled widely hugged and gave a peck on Teji's cheek...Teji was shocked...Neil moved to the door..'' Teji ...I will ask Piyali ma'am permission for you and Radhika to come with me..be prepared...and go and inform radhika about the same...now go''

Sam came to radhika all angry ; ''What's up with you Radhika...you seem to know some trick to trap guys...first Saral, Arjun and now Neil...aren't you ashamed of yourself...people are talking about you ...if not for you please pity your family'' Teji who was coming to radhika to inform her on the Panchagani trip...felt miserable

Radhika with a calm posture responded; '' Sam even if I speak the truth you will not believe me...so let it be...3 months I will be out of everybody's life...now excuse me'' Radhika went directly to the terrace...she wanted some time alone...Neil saw her going upstairs...he gave a hopeless look to Sam and followed Radhika up...

Arjun couldn't find Radhika at her place....he kept looking for her he finally checked with Teji.. on Arjun insistence he informed what happened between Sam and Radhika....Arjun felt bad for her...he decided to follow her to terrace...

Radhika's tears were continuously following....when she felt a hand on her shoulder...Neil turned her around; ''Chashni I told you its not going to be easy''

Radhika; ''I know and I am not blaming anyone...it's just that sometimes it hurts...and I am a human too''

Neil patted her head; ''Once the truth is out...all will be sorry''

Radhika; ''I know...but I won't be here for their sorry''...Neil lightly smiled...wiped her check and pulled her in an arm hug...Arjun entered the terrace and witnessed this hug...his heart broke into million pieces...he just wanted to pull her away from Neil into his arms...but he can't ...he decided to concentrate on is revenge...and left...Neil gently squeezed Radhika's shoulder and said; ''Let's go I have something important to discuss''

Radhika nodded and accompanied Neil downstairs.

Piyali had asked all seniors to come for a meeting...she deliberately kept Radhika out...once everyone was seated...Neil was staring angrily at Samrat with a thought; 'If on that day you would have confessed your mistake....it would have saved everyone from pain'

Arjun was glaring at Neil with rage; 'If I wasn't bound with my commitment to Nandu ...I would have killed you for hugging and touching my Radhika'

Sam ; 'Radhika snatched everything from me...first my love arjun and now my idiot...my best friend...I will never forgive you Radhika'

Teji watched Radhika quietly working at her desk...she was turning quieter day by day... he decided to make her smile...Teju hopped and sat on the work station; ''Chashni what do love more...beaches or hills''

Radhika looked up; ''All my life I have lived on hills...I like beaches but my first love will only be hills''

Teji; ''then I have a surprise for you...you and me will accompany Neil for a add shoot to Panchagani for 2 days...what say''

Radhika was surprised; ''2 days...ok but Neil didn't tell me...and will Piyali ma'am allow me''

Teji; ''leave everything on the BOSS'' Radhika smiled and nodded...she herself wanted break from Arjun and BS..but didn't wanted Mala to be alone with Nandini...Radhika quickly booked Mala's tickets... called her and asked to pack her belongings...Mala was taken aback but she understood Radhika's concern

Arjun lost his cool when Neil said that Teji and Radhika will accompany him to Panchagani for 2 days...he couldn't utter a word...because of Sam's presence ....but inside he was dying every second...Piyali did not like the decision; ''Radhika is too junior...she won't be able to handle it''

Neil smirked; ''Radhika got you this project....she wrote the rough idea of the add script...and you are saying she won't be able handle...Radhika will accompany me''

Sam; ''Why not Zubin or kritika''

Neil; ''Samaira Khanna you forgot...they are not my team....if you guys really want this project to be completed it has to be my way...we leave in two days...I have done the hotel bookings for all 3 of us''

Piyali and Sam wanted to further argue but Samrat stopped them; ''Fine Neil...as you wish'' Neil left the board room with a smirk...and Arjun's brain was running wild how to stop Radhika from going to Panchagani...Arjun hurriedly came out of the boardroom....and directly went to Radhika's place ...she wasn't there neither her bag...Arjun checked with Teji again

Teji; ''Mala aunty is leaving for her home today...Radhika is going to drop her to the airport'' Arjun felt strange...Radhika or Mala no one told him...he picked his car keys and left..

Radhika left a note for Neil...'' ...going to drop Ma to the airport..'' Neil was surprised at the sudden departure of Mala from Mumbai.
