Chapter 14 - Everything is fair in love & war



Mehra Mansion,


Sanjeev keeps pacing around the room, where Arjun lies on the bed starring the ceiling.


Sanjeev, "I actually do have a doubt but when I asked him that day, he said he did not meet her at all...and that's right. She was with you for the last two days before she left you. How can we blame Harsh on this?"


Arjun sits straight and said, "We are missing something here Sanjeev. My instinct says, might Harsh involved in this with..."


Sanjeev, "With?"


Arjun, "Spandana"


Sanjeev blinks, "I guess you are overthinking Arjun. I don't think so"


Arjun sighs, "I don't know but I have a gut feeling. Let me dig the secret out"


Sanjeev, "What you planning for?"


Arjun breaks his laziness and said, "I am going to invite our gang for my wedding, including Harsh and Spandana"


Sanjeev gives sheepish smile saying, "I am waiting"


Arjun, "Why you showing all your 32?"


Sanjeev, "Shruti also will come right"


Arjun, "She got married stupid"


Sanjeev, "It's ok, sighting doesn't need married or unmarried"


Arjun rolls his eyes and leaves having a plan in his mind.


Radhika makes herself comfortable in her couch in the living hall and starring the LED TV having her favorite music channels running on with high volume.


She stares it but her mind is not focusing on it. She remembers her first night out after engagement with Arjun. She thinks, "Why is he caring me so much when he cheated me already? Why is he acting now? Or am I thinking wrong about him? Is he really love me and caring me? Then why did he cheat me? He knew that how much I loved him still how can he do that to me?"


Prerna checks some bills and comes to her asking, "What are you thinking Choti?"


Radhika without realizing, "Arjun"


Prerna chuckles seeing her daughter who falls head over heels love with Arjun, she pats her head slightly saying, "If you miss him so much, then why don't you talk to him for some time?"


Both Prerna and Radhika jerks listening a voice from door step, and it's from the one and only Arjun, "Not required Aunty. Even I missed her so much and that's why I am here to spend my time with her"


Radhika rolls her eyes and Prerna welcomes him inside saying, "You talk to her, I have to go out for some work, will be back soon"


Arjun, "Sure Aunty"


Radhika did not expect this and shocked seeing her mom leaving her with a devil (according to her) and going out.


Radhika holds Prerna's hand saying, "Maa, you leaving me alone and going out"


Prerna smiles, "What? I am leaving you with your husband, don't worry I have to settle these bills. I will come back soon"


She bids bye to them and leave from there leaving her alone with her sweet Devil.


She turns back to give him a glare but in turn she gets to see him sitting on the couch spreading his hands on both sides on top of it and winks at her to sit beside him.


Radhika makes faces and is about to go away but he catch her wrist and pulls her to him, with that she perfectly lands on his lap, his hands around her waist and her hands on his chest pushing him back hardly.


He did not even missing the chance to get her so close to him and pulls her more into him not giving chance for her for to leave.


Rads with irritating tone, "Leave me, ARJUN"


Arjun, "No Way"


Rads, "Aaaahhhh, leave me I said"


Arjun, "I said NO...means NO"


Rads, "My brother will come at any time and he will not be good to you if he see us like this"


Arjun, "I am scared now" he shows scaring face which irritates her more.


Rads still struggling in his lap, "What if Neil behaves with Sam like this? Will you enjoy seeing her getting tortured?"


Arjun, "A small correction darling, Sam fought for her love and never give up and run away like a coward...unlike you. And more over, your brother Neil is not an ARJUN who will deal everything with so much of love. I know how to get what I want...by hook or crook...you know what, "Everything is fair in love and war". If I want to get my love by war means, I will do the war with this whole world to get my love...no one can stop me"


Rads stops struggling and keeps starring him with lot of confusions on her face.


He understands what she is thinking now, he place a gentle kiss on her forehead and said, "Don't doubt my love Radhika. I loved you, love you and will always love you...and love only you. Till now I seriously don't know why you left me and made my life hell for these past 5 years. Without you I was living like a corpse. Why don't you understand me? "


Rads come out from the day dream and again struggling to get her free from his grip and she gets succeed in that. And when she is about to walk, he extend his hands to hold her hand but unfortunately it gets missed and the bottom part of her dori from her top gets caught in his hand, where he pull it off and it removes the knot from her top making her stands like statue of not expecting the one to be happened.


Radhika rooted to the same place where she is and gets her hand back to her top to realize that it's completely opened now and the dori is still in his hands.


Arjun chuckles, "I did not do it intentionally, it voluntarily fell in my hand...except you everything of yours wants to be in my arms...what I can do?" he asked keeping a pout face.


Radhika tensed understanding what he meant and said, "Fine, leave that now"


Arjun, "Why should I?" he paused for a sec intensifying her more and continues, "When I get some lonely timing with my wife"


With that he comes to her and hugs her from back tightly and kissing her sensually on her collar bone.


He makes his fingers travels on her body and sending it to her waist...bare skin under her top. She shivers of not tolerating his sensual touch and whispers with lot of difficulty, "Arjun, please leave me. Mom can come at anytime"


Arjun keeps kissing her neck and said, "Sssshhhhhhh, let me romance my wife for some time." His fingers travels to her belly and keeps rubbing it with his finger to make her lose in him completely.


Unknowingly she stretches her head back to his shoulder to give him more space to fill her body with his kisses. Suddenly both gets separated hearing a voice from the door and it is Prerna who is speaking on Mobile, "Haan, I will call you once I check all the stuffs. Yes we need two pairs"


Both stands with some distance and Prerna disconnects the call while entering inside with a smile looking at them and Neil too walks inside behind her with a happy smile seeing Arjun there.


Neil greets and gives him a warm hug, "HI Arjun. What's up? Sudden visit"


Arjun too responds his hug and said, "Actually, I thought of inviting my college friends for our marriage. So I want Radhika to join with me while inviting them. Just came to inform you both about this"


Neil and Prerna happily agree for it but Radhika makes face saying, "I am not interested"


Prerna scolds her for showing disinterest and tells her to accompany Arjun. Arjun chuckles seeing her pouty face and said, "Thanks Aunty. I will take her with me tomorrow then and yeah, we have to do some more shopping. We haven't complete it yet"


Neil, "No problem Arjun. Will schedule one day for that and probably tomorrow itself once you done inviting your friends"


Arjun, "Perfect. See you tomorrow. Bye Aunty"


He greets both and goes to Radhika, Neil & Prerna sees this and leaves them alone smiling at them.


Arjun touches his shirt pocket and pats it gently saying, "Your Mom and Neil is staying here safely. Get ready for a day out darling. Will pick you up at 10 AM sharp. Till then remember me with this kiss" he finally cups her cheeks and give a tight cheeky kiss leaving her startled.


Radhika breathes hard even after he left from there reminiscing her proximity with him and said, "Why I am not able to stop melting in his touch? Though I struggle, I couldn't stop myself going into his warmth. God, what's happening with me?"


*********


Next day, Arjun picks Radhika from her home and both drives out of city somewhere. Rads, "Where are we going?"


Arjun, "I told right, we gonna invite our friends"


Rads, "They are your friends, why should me?"


Arjun, "Because they are yours too and being my wife you should be with me wherever I go"


Rads, "Please stop lamenting me as your wife, I am not. OK?"


Arjun laughs loudly and said, "I am sad that you forgot our marriage"


Radhika's face expressions changed and feels bad, tears dwells in her eyes and said, "Yes because, I don't want to remember the things which gives me only pain"


Arjun too gets upset and said in a serious tone, "According to me, that was the most memorable moment"


Radhika looks at him at the corner of her eyes and said, "I just want to erase all the moments which is related to you"


Arjun gives a faint smile at her and said, "Better luck in next birth"


Soon they both reach a resort and he drives in to park the car. They have a surprise waiting at the entrance of the hall. Sanjeev welcomes Ardhika with a beautiful bouquet and guides them inside the hall.


Radhika doesn't have any idea what's happening around there and gets astonished seeing the hall is decorated beautifully and she hears a big applauds once she enters inside hands in hand with Arjun.


She surprised seeing many of her friends during college, and of course Arjun's friends too. More than that she finds Kriti standing there with tears looking at her.


Radhika runs to Kriti and hugs her tightly mumbling, "I missed you so much Kriti"


Kriti too hugs her back and pinch her saying, "Punishment for leaving alone"


Both smiles looking at each and asked the same question, "How are you?"


Smile appears first before the answer, "I am fine" from both.


Arjun too greets everyone n his friends and then go to Kriti asking, "Will I have your permission to borrow your friend for some time?"


Kriti holds her hand tightly and said, "No, this time I won't. I gave her hand to you and you lost her once"


Arjun wraps radhika's shoulder by his strong arms and said, "This time I won't. Believe me"


Kriti happily gives her hands to him and Radhika with a fake smile goes with him to the center stage.


Arjun takes the mike, "Hello everyone !!! It's been a very long time we all have been gathered together and now it's time for that. The reason for your gather is My marriage"


The hall echoes with huge applauds and Arjun continues, "And yes, as some of you know that my love Radhika Mishra, she is the one who is going to complete my life with her presence. My wife...to be"


He extends his hands towards her, and she too grabs it without any hesitation. He pulls her to him and wraps his arms around her waist by showing the crowd that she belongs to him.


Everyone praises their pair and wishes them heartily for their marriage except two Spandana & Harsh.


Arjun observes their expressions and smirks remembering how he planned all this.


Arjun & Sanjeev inform their friends whom n all they have contact and trying to dig the details about Spandana and Harsh once they get a doubt on them. Within two days, they both planned for a get together and invited each and every one including them. As expected by Arjun, Harsh called Radhika because he very well knows that Harsh will definitely get in touch with her when he gets her contact.


Till now Radhika is away from all the social networks and no body couldn't find her after she left Arjun including Harsh. But when Arjun ask Sanjeev to inform his friends about his engagement with Radhika, he instructed him to add Arjun's and Radhika's mobile number too in that invite. And thus made Harsh call her. And he very well know that Radhika still has a soft corner on Harsh without knowing about him completely, she told him about her marriage with Arjun which made him appear in front of them.


Perfectly, all happening as per his plan. Arjun's doubt gets confirmed seeing Harsh with anger but he gets doubt seeing Spandana with sad face. He is confused thinking how can she relate with Harsh.


Radhika accepting every one's wish with a gentle smile on her face and her smile vanishes when she sees Spandana coming towards them but by looking only at Arjun.


Automatically, her grip on him goes tight seeing her approaching them, she feels some tension inside her. Spandana gives a faint smile at her and said, "Congratulations, finally you got what you wished for...unlike me"


Arjun too notices it but did not show it but Radhika holds him tightly and forgets her anger on Arjun. Arjun finds it weird looking at tensed Radhika, he cups her face infront of Spandana and asks, "Hey, are you ok dear?"


Radhika just nods her head with a slight smile, meanwhile Spandana gets tears looking at them and goes away from there. Arjun signs Sanjeev to follow her and he does so.


Harsh comes to them with a huge artificial smile on his face, Radhika greets him with a wide smile and he in turn wishes them, "Congrats to both of you"


Arjun sarcastically, "You can smile little more wide"


Radhika rolls her eyes and said, 'Thank u so much Harsh. BTW you did not say me that you are coming here. It's a surprise"


Harsh, "Surprise for me too. Because I never thought I will meet you with Arjun once again"


She gives him a fake smile and he asked, "Where were you all these days?"


Rads stammers, "Mmmm, actually i...i...due to my family situation I had to quit my studies"


Harsh, "How can you forgot me Radhika?"


Arjun interrupts, "She even forgot me, her love then why not you?"


Rads rolls her eyes listening but at the same time she feels to laugh at his counter and Harsh's funny reaction.


Rads, "Please join with others Harsh. Will talk later"


Harsh goes glaring Arjun, and in turn he too gets a burning look from Arjun.


Arjun, "I don't like it when you talk to him"


Rads, "Jealous"


Arjun pulls her to his chest and tights his grip on her waist saying, "Whatever? But keep remember... your heart, love, soul, smile, anger, frustration, pain, happiness everything ....EVERYTHING BELONGS TO ONLY ME. No one can dare to think of you"


Her breath mingles with his; both stand close to each other and feels their love making their soul twine with each other in this birth. He husks in her ears, "I want to kiss you Radhika...badly". She couldn't do nothing but just stare his eyes.


Before she responds Kriti comes to them and disturbs their intense eye lock . Radhika smiles at her asking, "Kriti, looks like you are married? Where is your husband?"


Kriti blushes and calls a guy who turns out be Mahesh, Arjun's friend.


Radhika opens her mouth in shock asking, "How?"


Kriti with bush, "You left me na, he was consoling me every day whenever I miss you. And thus made us feel for each other and we got married. It's been 2 years now"


Radhika hugs her and shares her happiness to her making Arjun let out a heavy breathe seeing Radhika going with Kriti to talk with others.


Arjun got a call from Sanjeev saying, "Arjun, i tried to reach her, but she left."


Arjun, "Fine, you come here and we have to teach Harsh a new lesson for eyeing other's wife"


Till evening they all together enjoy the party and leaves to their home respectively.


*********


Past,


Days passed, Arjun stops threatening her and behaves well with Radhika which makes her also feels good seeing his other side. But at the same time, he never missed to show his possessiveness towards her...especially whenever she speaks with Harsh. He wished to move so close with her and thus resulted the college cultural events.


Everyone gives their name eagerly for the events and Radhika also participated in Dance event since she is good in western and Kathak.


Sanjeev becomes the co-ordinator for the dance event got to know about Radhika's nomination he informs the same to Arjun also. What else he need? He too nominate his name on the same event and threaten Sanjeev to make her dance with him at any cost.


Sanjeev blinks at him and thinks a lot to make it as he said. After all the nominations done, all the participants called to the auditorium and an announcement made to make them aware of what they have to do.


Sanjeev announces the participants for dance event which has Solo, Group and Duet.


People wondered there thinking from when this Duet has been added. Sanjeev announces the names for Solo where Radhika's name also presented and the most shocking and surprising turn for her becomes when her name is tagged with Arjun for Duet round.


Radhika murmurs, "I haven't given my name for Duet"


Sanjeev, "We only picked the good dancers name for Duet. Don't worry"


He confused her and continues, "The pair for Radhika for the Duet round will be the one and only...the most Handsome guy in our college...any guesses?" he shouted looking at the audience and they in turn cheers him shouting Arjun's name.


Radhika's heart skip a beat hearing his name and it came out when he walks to the stage having a mesmerizing smile looking at her. He goes and stands beside her making her legs shiver more.


Arjun whisper, "Looks like you are not happy to dance with me?"


Rads stammers, "Not..like...that. I...was..thinking"


Arjun, "I know what you were thinking"


Rads sighs and turns her face to other side of unable to bear his stare on her blushing face.


Past continues....
