Arjun drives to home having a deep thoughts about what Radhika said to him. He stops his car on the beach road and dials to Sanjeev who is in deep sleep picked his call, "Hello"

Arjun, "Sanjeev, come to Beach road-western gate. I am waiting for you"

Sanjeev in sleepy mode, "Okay will come there tomorrow morning"

Arjun, "Idiot, come here right now. I am waiting for you now"

Sanjeev rubs his eyes and looks at the clock and blinks his eyes continuously, before he responds Arjun disconnected the call leaving him with no option.

After 20 mins drive, Sanjeev meets Arjun in the same place and wonders seeing him smoking continuously and already he finished number of cigarettes.

Sanjeev snatches the one he is puffing and scolds him saying, "Are you Mad Arjun? Why are you smoking like this? What's the problem?"

Arjun takes a deep breath and said, "I want to know the reason behind Radhika's hurt and her abscond on 5 years before"

Sanjeev, "You can ask her only right?"

Arjun, "No, she won't reveal the reason. I have to find out soon before my marriage, so that I can understand what made her to take that decision and why she hates me now?"

Sanjeev, "Arjun, so many things happened between you both. So only you both can share the instances and find out the reason. How can I help you in this?"

Arjun, "You can Sanjeev. Do you have any idea who else know about my interest on Radhika at that time?"

Sanjeev gets into thinking and said, "Me, Shruti, Ranjith, Aditya and Mahesh"

Arjun goes into a deep thinking and Sanjeev interrupts him saying, "And yeah, Spandana also knows it"

Arjun gives him a shocking reaction and said, "Spandana?"

Sanjeev, "Yeah, but none of us told this to her, she overheard our conversation and actually we got a promise from her not to reveal this to anyone till you say"

Arjun, "I guess she might have a big role play in separating me and Radhika"

Sanjeev, "How can you say that?"

Arjun smirks, "Because she was in love with me"

Sanjeev opens his mouth wide in shock and stands like a statue and without moving he asked, "When did this happen?"

Arjun, "The day you all caught me right, that day"

Sanjeev, "How come it is possible, that's the same day we were talking to catch u and she overheard & she told that she will support us in the drama we were planning"

Arjun smirks lightly and said, "Then Sanjeev, Search for Spandana...she might have a big role in spoiling the relation between me and Radhika. I am not going to leave her"

They both leave from there to make sure that they have to find out Spandana as soon as possible.

Next day, Radhika gets ready for office and finds a message from an unknown number. She reads it and replied, "May I know who is this?"

She gets an instant reply, "Your close friend"

Radhika gets confused and replied, "I don't have any close friend. Sorry" and she left.

She forgets about the message and reaches her office on time and exactly before Arjun comes. She settles down in her place and continues her left out work and in the meanwhile, the staffs who already there congratulate Radhika for her engagement with Arjun.

Radhika gently agreeing all their wishes and responds them politely, soon Arjun too joins there and they all too congratulate him.

Later all went to continue their work and Arjun too leaves from there without even giving a glance to Radhika which makes her to think what's wrong with him.

Arjun in his cabin surfing his Facebook to find about Spandana but not getting any details about her. Radhika enters inside and submit some files to him for his signature and waiting for him to check and sign it.

Arjun too did not speak anything to irritate more and behave so professionally which makes her shock and surprise seeing him like that. After a deep silence, her mobile started buzzing since she kept in vibrate mode...she picked it up having a mere doubts on her face since it is an unknown number.

Rads, "Hello"

Caller, "Hi Radhika, how are you?"

Rads in a doubtful face, "May I know who is this?"

Arjun finds her voice so doubtful and looking at her facial reactions and it clearly shows him that she knows nothing about the caller.

Caller, "How can you say this? I am your close friend ya"

Rads, "Close friend? I don't have one and you only messaged me in the morning right?"

Caller, "Yes and how can you say that you don't have? I am there for you"

Rads, "First tell me who are you?"

Arjun silently listen her convo and the caller continues, "I heard that you are going to get married and the person is none other than Arjun Mehra, your love from the college days"

Rads get worried and looking at her mobile for some time and continues "Who are you and how you know about this?"

Caller, "Everyone knows this and BTW have you find me?"

Rads, "No"

Caller, "Ok, I am giving a clue. I am your friend but not your classmate"

Rads gets into a deep thinking and said, "No, I couldn't"

Caller, "Lazy girl, okay next clue is I am the lucky charm to dance with you on your welcome party in college. At least now?"

Rads recalls her college time and the dance in the welcome party and she smiles spelling the name, "HARSH"

The caller started laughing continuously and said, "Yes my dear...I am your Harsh. Thank God at least now you found me. BTW how are you my darling"

Rads smiles ear to ear but once hearing Harsh name, someone else's blood started boiling unknowingly and it is clearly visible through his eyes...it's none other than Arjun.

Rads looks at Arjun's angry face and changes her face reaction and Arjun said, "You may go now"

She grabs the file which he signed and she runs away from his cabin.

After she gone, Arjun leans on his chair and thinks, "Did this Harsh had involved in separating me and Radhika?"

Past,

Few days passed after their kiss, Radhika tried much to avoid going in front of him. Kriti chuckled seeing her escaping plans n all. Meanwhile, Harsh gets more friendly with Radhika which irks Arjun more but not showing outside since he wants to maintain his image in front of his friends.

The day comes when he has to show his aggressive side to Radhika and unfortunately to Harsh also. How much ever she tries to ignore Arjun, Arjun cannot go like that. He comes to her on the way while she walks to her hostel and blocks her way saying, "I need to talk to you"

Rads gets scared and blinks looking at right and left and said, "I don't want" and tries to walk away.

But Arjun holds her wrist and pulls her to him & pins her to the tree. Due to this sudden proximity she lost herself and breathes heavily of unable to bear his closeness. Arjun push himself more into her soft skin making her melt in his touch and locks her hands in his and leans towards her face.

Radhika gets scared seeing him coming close to her face and close her eyes tightly and a cold shiver run to her spine after hearing a deep, sensual and sexy whisper in her ears, "You are making it harder for me Radhika"

She flips her eyes and moves her sight to her left and there Arjun moves his sight down to his left. The eyes meet each and speaks a lot in silent language and thus makes her lose herself in his grip. He again goes close to her ear lobe and whisper, "I don't like you to be friendly with Harsh. Cut all his ties"

Radhika breathes heavily but still she gathered some courage and replied, "Who are you to say that to me?"

Arjun smirks and replied, "I am so close to you now, you cannot stop me and even melting in my single touch. By now, you should know who I am to you. It's for our betterment only Radhika, just cut his friendship, I don't like it"

Radhika, "That's my personal and you don't need to interfere"

Arjun tighten his grip on her hands and moves down to her collar bone, where he can see her sweat beds , blow some air on those to which she closed her eyes tightly of unable to bear his sensual torture. He place a gentle kiss on those Sweat and again whisper, "You are my personal Radhika. I don't like anyone touching or getting close with my most precious and personal things"

Rads gets tears in her eyes and said, "I am not an object"

Arjun lifts his head and cups her face leaving her hand and husks, "You are my possession, till now I never felt like this to anyone. But am feeling for you and you are so special for me Radhika. It's been 2 months now you have joined this college. From the day 1 I am watching you, all your antics and activities. You became my daily habit; my time will go just by watching you. I want to save you from the bad eyes, you are an angel Radhika. You need someone to secure and I am your savior for your lifetime."

All the while Radhika starring his face with tears in her eyes and he suddenly smiles saying, "What I am blabbering?"

He touches his forehead with hers and said, "I am saying only good things for you. Don't go close with that Harsh. Listen to my words"

Radhika somehow gets free from his grip and pushed him away from her and starts running to her hostel without even turning back to look at him once.

Arjun glares the way she went and he folds his fist tightly and murmurs, "I will handle it in my way then"

Harsh, Sanjeev, Mahesh and Shruti seated and chit chat about some jokes. Arjun joins them and sit silently for sometime.

Sanjeev, "Arjun, why are you so silent?"

Before Arjun speaks, some one's mobile buzzed with a message tone and it is Harsh's. He reads the message and smiles broadly.

Sanjeev noted this and asked, "What makes you smile so widely?"

Harsh gets up from his place and said, "Radhika's message. She wants to meet me it seems"

Arjun's muscles gets tight listening his words and replied in a cold tone, "You are not going to meet her"

Sanjeev and others gets shocked but somehow they know the reason but Harsh casually ignored him and said, "Why should i? She is my friend"

Arjun, "I said, you are not going to meet her and that's not only today from now on"

Harsh got angry and replied in the same tone, "Who the hell are you to decide that? You cannot decide everything Arjun. It would be better if you be in your limits" and he starts walking away.

Arjun grabs his shirt collar and pulls him saying, "I don't like you to meet and talk to her"

Harsh too grabs his collar and shouts, "I will meet and talk, why you are getting jealousy and angry"

Short temper Arjun cannot hold him more than that and started fighting with him. Both Arjun & Harsh hurts each other badly, Sanjeev and others separates them and gets hold of Arjun saying Harsh to leave from there.

Harsh looks at him venomously and said, "I won't forget this Arjun"

He goes to Radhika where she is waiting for him and gets shocked seeing him with blood on his mouth corner and his torn shirt.

Radhika, "What happened to you Harsh?"

Harsh makes an innocent face and said, "Arjun hurts me"

Rads face gets changed hearing his name and asked, "Why?"

Harsh, "You slapped him, insulted him in front of all and thus gives an vengeance towards you. So he doesn't want any of us to have a friendship with you. I refused it and we both got into a fight and he hurt me like this"

Radhika feels bad seeing Harsh and gets angry on Arjun. Harsh, "But why you want to meet me?"

Rads thinks not tell him about Arjun's convo with her and she said, "Nothing, just like that. I am sorry for whatever happened. Take care" by said so she leaves from there with lot of confusions.

Harsh wipes his blood seeing her from back and smirks, "I know he likes you and you are my prey to take revenge from him for insulting me on the function in front of everyone"

Radhika wants to go out to have some fresh air and wants to eat ice cream that too in the night. Kriti already refused to go with her, so she walks alone and since it is not late than 9 PM the security too allowed her and tells her to come back soon.

She walks on the road having only the trees on both the side giving a kind of fear in her but she gathered some courage and walks straight & fast. Soon she has been stopped by some guys who is roaming in the bikes, stops in front of her giving some sensual comments looking at her figure. Radhika cursing her mind and thinks how to escape from these guys.

One from those group gets down from the bike and is about to walk to her and steps back seeing him and both stopped hearing a strong, authoritative voice behind her, she need not to turn back and she knows who is that.

Yes Arjun. He comes forward beside her and said, "Any problem?"

The guy who came front asking him, "Nothing. Do you know her?"

Arjun wraps her shoulder by his hands and said, "My girlfriend". Radhika stuns but she is unable to react so much and even she doesn't want to, so she kept mum.

The guys look at each other and leave from there. Once they left, Radhika shoves his hands away from her shoulder and starts walking fast. Obvious our Arjun also followed her with a cute and naughty smile on his face.

He matches to her walk and said, "You shouldn't have come out at this time and alone"

Rads looks at him and said, "I will go at anytime and who are you to ask me?"

Arjun, "Well i already said in the evening that who am i to you and if you want i can repeat it in the same way and anyway that's good for me too, so that I can spend some time alone in the night...such a nice time for romance"

Rads stop walking and looks at him at the corner of her eyes and again walks fast. Arjun smiles saying, "Okay, tell me where are you going?"

She did not say anything till she reaches the ice cream parlor and orders a vanilla flavor with choco cream. He smiles seeing her excitement while seeing the ice creams and he too order one for him with strawberry flavor.

He licks his ice cream starring Radhika's each antics while having the ice. Inch by inch she seized him by her cute antics and he too going so flexible for her everything.

Radhika gives her money and leaves from there while he gets her money and pay for both the ice creams and follows her.

The silent occupies both and which makes them little awkward. Radhika gets into a thinking and this is noted by Arjun.

Arjun, "Are you thinking something deeply?"

Rads, "I wanna ask you something"

Arjun, "Please"

Rads, "Why you hurt Harsh? Just because he is speaking to me?"

Arjun, "I just had a small fight but I did not hurt him"

Rads, "PLs don't lie. I saw him he was hurt and it was you who did that"

Arjun, "Listen Radhika, I don't want to hurt anyone until they hurt me. I did not hurt Harsh and that's the truth"

Rads, "But.." he stops her in mid and continues, "Just stop this topic pls"

Rads stop talking and keep on walking silently. Arjun, "I just told not to talk about Harsh"

Rads, "What else we have to talk"

Arjun smiles seeing her small cute pouty face and said, "A lot...Well you can say about me?"

Rads widens her eyes and said, "What to say? I am getting scared seeing you"

Arjun, "Why so?" by saying that he goes close to her.

Radhika steps back and said, "See, for this only"

Arjun, "You know what, I am unable to stop myself in coming to you"

An unknown blush appears in her face but she hides it and said, "How come you here?"

Arjun, "Means"

Rads, "I mean, you usually go to your home right and how come you came at the right time here"

Arjun smiles, "So you know about my home and where I used to stay. Good. Actually today I stayed in Sanjeev's room and saw you were going out alone. So I followed it and got you"

Rads, "You always set eyes on mine is it?"

Arjun, "From day 1"

Rads stares him and he continues, "I still did not forget our first kiss and of course the recent one too"

Rads blinks and gulps seeing him smiling at her, she started running inside the campus.

Arjun too follows her and asks, "Can we be friends?"

Rads stops running and turns to his side saying in between her breath, "No...Never" she smiles at his face reaction and runs inside girls hostel.

Arjun did not understand first but soon he gets some relax seeing her talking without any tension to him and her last smile. He whistles his favourite song and goes to sanjeev's room to make his night hell for him.

Sanjeev sleeping tightly and often smiles in his sleep and murmurs, "hug me tightly, Katu..haa..yes...like that...now kiss...super super...come come" Arjun looks at him lifting his head and smiling.

He takes a bottle and pour the water on his face makes him come out from his dreams and sleep. He glares him angrily and shouted him saying, "Why you disturbed my dreams with Katu?"

Arjun, "Katu?"

Sanjeev, "Katarina Kaif"

Arjun rolls her eyes and said, "It's just 9:30 and you are sleeping like a kumbakaran" is about to say something but Sanjeev keeps on scolding him for spoiling his sleep, Arjun pours some more water on his face and makes him stop talking.

Arjun lies on his bed and Sanjeev sits on the floor having a towel over his head and keeping a pout face. Arjun keeps telling him about the incidents happened now and making Sanjeev's night hell.

Next day, he woke up late and sees Sanjeev sleeping on the floor spreading his legs and hands & snoring too. He wakes up and gets ready for college....actually to see Radhika. He leaves Sanjeev and goes to college to meet her.

Radhika with Kriti walks to her class meet Arjun on d way. Neither she is scared and nor relax, but some unknown feelings arise in her heart seeing him. At once she gets mesmerized seeing him in a Blue torn jeans and white shirt with coolers hanging on his collars.

Arjun gives a cute smile at her and her cheeks becomes crimson red due to blushing seeing him. Kriti gets shocked seeing her reaction and murmurs, "What Radhu? That day I just like that said you are in love with him...but now it looks like you confirmed it"

Rads, "Shut up Kriti, Nothing like that"

They both are passing Arjun and he stops Radhika from moving and said, "Why you said no for my friendship?"

Kriti blinks thinking when did this happen. Rads gets nervous and said, "Because I feel so. We cannot be friends"

Arjun, "Why?"

Before she answers bell rang and both the girls started running to their classes before the staff comes. While going she often looks back at him which gives him little confident about her feelings towards him.
