Past continues,

Arjun driving to his home from college and indulge in Radhika's thoughts. His lips curled into an unknown smile and he sighs when he reach his house. He refresh himself and changes into his night suite and drops himself in his bed & stare the ceiling and smiling remembering the moment he kissed her.

He turns his head to his left and shocked seeing Radhika lying beside her and staring his with lot of love. He stuns seeing her beside him and is about to wrap her waist by his hands but gets disappointed once she disappeared. He rubs his eyes once again and pats his forehead thinking about his foolishness and lies on his front.

He drags a pillow for a support and crushes it beneath him murmuring, "You started ruling me Radhika"

He marches to his balcony and admiring the full moon while lost in her thoughts, "I never saw a girl so fragile like you Radhika. You are driving me crazy like anything. The moment I think about you I feel so fresh and happy. I am so surprised that just a mere thought gives me this much happiness means, if i spend my lifetime with you means, I will be the most happiest person in this world"

At the same time, in college hostel Radhika couldn't sleep properly reminiscing about her kiss with Arjun. She keeps rolling on the bed and finally got up and went to the corridor. There she forgets herself and mesmerized in the beauty of full moon. Her smile vanished thinking about all her meetings with Arjun and said to her, "I don't want to see your face at all Arjun. I pray god that I should never come face to face with you in future"

Arjun keeps smiling and said, "At this moment, I just want to have you beside me and spend my time just by looking at your face"

Present,

Radhika at her home stares the moon from her room window and rubs her fingers on the ring adored by Arjun in her hands.

She sighs saying, "Nothing happened as per my wish. I never wanted to see him...it happened, I never wanted to be attracted by him...it happened, I never wanted to be in his arms...it happened and now I still hate him and never wanted to face him again in my life...but again it happened. Now I have to face him daily, every minute, every second of my life. Why are you punishing me like this God? What wrong I did in my pre-birth that you are punishing me this badly?" she keeps cursing the god for making her marrying Arjun and her curse got stopped in a mid when her mobile alerts her.

She rolls her eyes looking at the caller name, it's Arjun. She wants to disconnect it but she knows what will lead to when she does that. Unwillingly she picked it up and maintains silence without saying Hello.

Arjun chuckles observing her silence and said, "I know you want to listen my voice first, since you are thinking deeply about me only right?"

Radhika makes faces and replied, "Yes thinking deeply on how to get rid of you. I am trying to find the ways to wipe you and all your memories from my life"

Arjun's face fell hearing her but composed him saying, "Sorry to Say dear, in this birth you are bound to be with me forever. Only death can separate us, and I 'll repeat it...stop lamenting, you have no choice but to be with me"

Radhika wants to crash him badly but maintains silent of not responding his words makes him growl in his cold tone, "If not you will know the result of it"

Radhika gritting her teeth and retorted him, "I know it very well and you don't need to remind me all the time"

Arjun smiles thinking how her face reaction would be now and replied, "That's my tigress"

Radhika exclaimed, "WHAT? What did you say?"

Arjun, "Teddy"

Radhika, "No, you changed your words. You said something else"

Arjun, "No, I said Teddy only"

Radhika, "I know what you said...don't act smart"

Arjun started laughing which makes her irks more and asked, "Why did you call me now?"

Arjun, "Is there any time to call my wife?"

Radhika, "Wife?"

Arjun, "Any doubt on that?"

Radhika rolls her eyes, "Tell me the reason"

Arjun, "Nothing, I was just admiring the full moon and I saw your face in that. I can't resist myself, so called you to have some romantic talks with my wife"

Radhika, "I am sleepy now"

Arjun chuckles, "That's even good, so that we both can do some romance in your dreams...if it's not in real for now"

Radhika bangs her head saying, "What you want now?"

Arjun, "You"

Radhika, "No"

Arjun, "Why?"

Radhika grits her teeth and said, "What Why? Don't irritate me more...I am in my home ARJUN"

Arjun, "Even I am"

Radhika finds something fishy in his talks and asked him again, "Say it again"

Arjun chuckles, "I know you are smart"

Radhika sighs and goes back to her window and looks down from her house and finds Arjun stands little far on the road having his body on Car, dropping his head on the mirror having his mobile on his left and waving his right hand towards Radhika.

Radhika for a second gets lost herself looking at him and stares him the way he lies but soon her thoughts are disturbed Arjun who is already in call, "Don't stare me like that...I am feeling shy"

Radhika smiles automatically hearing him and said, "What's the purpose of your visit here?"

Arjun, "To take my wife for a romantic night out"

Radhika, "What if I say no?"

Arjun, "What if I say no for the marriage?"

Radhika, "Do that first..i will be very happy"

Arjun, "Okay, I tell our parents to cancel Nesam's wedding"

Radhika, "What? Wait wait...why?"

Arjun, "I want to fulfill your wish...you only wanted to cancel the marriage right?"

Radhika stammers, "I said...said for"

Arjun's face reaction changed bit seriously and said, "Don't dream about the one which will never happen. And I want you to come out with me now"

Radhika, "I can't"

Arjun, "I told you...not asking you"

Radhika, "Arjun, pls...Neil and Mom is in home. How can you expect me to come out at this time"

Arjun, "Aunty already slept. And Neil, your brother already left out with his fiancé. So it's time for you to accompany me. It will be better if you come out or else I can climb to your room and whatever will happen after that, I will not be responsible for that"

Radhika's jaw dropped hearing him recalls his words and murmurs, "Coming down", she disconnected the call and tip toe from her room and goes out.

Arjun smiles ear to ear seeing her walking towards him and said, "Nothing is working out other than threatening"

Arjun gets down from his car bonnet and is about to hug her but she throws his hands away from her and walks to his car and makes her comfortable in the passenger seat at the front.

Arjun makes face seeing her attitude and starts driving.

Radhika, "Where are we going?"

Arjun, "You will know it soon"

Radhika, "Can't you tell me?"

Arjun, "I will better show you"

Radhika, "What If I don't like it?"

Arjun, "You will never dislike it. And for now pls keep quiet for some time, we are reaching the place"

Soon they reached the place and he gets down from the car fastly and he ties her eyes before she understand where is she. She starts shouting at him, "Why are you covering my eyes? Where are you taking me?"

Arjun, "Sssshhhhhhhhhhh...keep walking and hold my hand"

He guides her to a place and signs some to proceed. After 10 minutes, he untied the cloth from her eyes and makes her stand steadily and said, "Now open your eyes"

She rubs her eyes and opens it slowly, at first she looks at the surrounding and finds it so dark and slowly raise her eyes slightly to look above and gets stunned seeing the Full moon, standing inside the boat in the middle of the water.

Her breathe stops, she couldn't believe her eyes and tears dwells her eyes and she remembers a conversation, "I like to see the moon, in the night having the darkness around me...standing inside the boat in the middle of the water"

She turns to Arjun who stares her each and every reaction lovingly and he murmurs to her, "Your first wish which you asked me"

Tears rolling on her cheeks looking at him and without any second thought, she hugs him tightly and buried her face inside him. He too hugs her back as if he gets his life back.

Soon she realized her position and tries to move away but he hold her tightly and said, "Don't go away please"

Radhika being a stubborn gets herself free with much difficulty and looking at his eyes said, "All these will not change my perception on you Arjun. Once I believed you and got hurt but not again. Take me out from here...right now"

Arjun tried to convince her but she did not give him a chance to speak and forced him to take her out from there.

Once she reaches the land, she runs to their car and he grabs her wrist pulling her more close to him and asks, "What is bothering you Radhika?"

Radhika, "Your presence is bothering me Arjun. Will you leave me and go?"

Arjun hold his grip tight on her and replied sternly, "Let it bothers you more, but neither I go away nor you"

Tears rolling on her cheeks, he cups her face and husks, "I love you Radhika...why can't you see my love for you? Till now I don't know the reason for your abscond. What sin I have done to bear your separation? I became a lively man after seeing you again; I really got hope of getting you back in my life but all your actions hinting me that you are hurt by me but how? I can't see your tears like this...I know I am forcing you but at the same I very well know that I can't live without you. You are my life Radhika"

Radhika in between her tears and sob holds his hands and said, "Then why you cheated me?"

Arjun holds her face more close to him and said, "I never cheated you Radhika"

Radhika face reaction changed and frees her from him and sits in the car saying, "I want to go home"

The return journey becomes dead silent; both lost in their own thoughts and did not want to disturb others. He stops the car in front of her home and looks at her face, she wipes her tears looking at him and said, "There is a reason for everything Arjun. You have to find it what you did" and leaves from there leaving him in a deep thoughts.
