Chapter 28 - The Table Turns

Radhika is shocked and surprised to see Spandana there in Ireland, but she doesn't see the same kind of reaction from her and soon she neglect it when Spandana smiles looking at her.


"Hi Radhika, Welcome to Ireland" Spandana greets her happily.


Radhika with a confused look gives her a fake smile and tries to pass away from her.


She holds her hand in stopping her to move saying, "Where are you going? You have a lot to listen"


Radhika is quizzical now asking her, "I didn't get it"


Spandana, "Let's have a coffee"


Spandana and Radhika takes a seat outside in one of the Cafe shop. Radhika starts playing with the little girl, Spandana's daughter.


Spandana comes to her with the cups of coffee and takes her seat opposite to her saying, "So, how is your life going?"


Rads smirks looking at her, "You really want to know how i live?"


Span sighs, "I am sorry...sorry for everything"


Rads, "I know"


Span, "No... You don't know anything"


Rads, " What do you mean?"


Span, "You have a lot to know Radhika"


Rads, "Just get me to the point. What you wanted to say?"


Span, " I wanted to say the truth behind your separation with Arjun"


Rads looks at her confused and she continues, "Arjun is not at fault. It's all the conspiracy done by Harsh"


Rads, "From where this Harsh came in between us? Why are you involving him suddenly?"


Span smirks,. "He was the one who started all this"


Rads couldn't believe what she is saying, "What are you saying? I didn't understand anything"


Span, "Harsh was the one who made all the plans to separate you and Arjun. He got jealous on Arjun seeing him getting closer to you. He wanted you but you liked Arjun and Harsh put all his efforts in planning against you both and he succeeded also. Even he used me as a pawn in between you both" she pause for a second and says, "I am Sorry Radhika. I really feel guilty on this"


Rads looks at her with tears in her eyes and she couldn't believe anything what Spandana says.


Spandana continues, "Arjun is a gentleman. He didn't cheat on you. He loved you, loves you and will always love you....only you. He never cheated on you Radhika"


Tears rolling on her cheeks and she remembers what Arjun said on the last day she met him and questions her, "But i heard what he said about having a challenge with his friends that he took revenge on me for slapping me, he made me fall in love just to win his bet with his friends and...and he...he said to his friends that he never loved me truly. He...he said that. I....i heard him saying that" she stammers and cried telling her what she listened him on that day.


Spandana, "I am saying it again. Harsh made you listened his conversation with his friends. He knows what they were discussing and he cleverly made you go there and listened his discussion with his friends. In fact, the truth was whatever he spoke on that day was never his words. It's just the dialogues they were practicing for the skit they have planned on the Annual function. It was not his words Radhika and you know what, you just listened the part where he was reading the dialogues but the truth was he refused to say those words on the skit. Because even for a drama, he did not want to cheat any one in the name of love. He really meant it. He disagree for those words and he made a change to it later but you heard what he said initially and ran away from there without even knowing what he did later. This was what wanted by Harsh and he won. You did what Harsh wanted. You misunderstood Arjun and ran away from his life. You never know how Arjun searched you everywhere. He became mad of not seeing you anywhere. It was horrible to see his condition without you. He did not even know the reason of your abscond."


Radhika becomes blunt hearing her and tears keep on rolling on her cheeks. Spandana continues, "Harsh blackmailed me to move close with Arjun so that you will doubt on Arjun. I did not have any way other than doing this. Harsh had a video of mine with my ex-boyfriend and he used to threaten me to do this. I am sorry Radhika. I am really sorry. Please forgive me...i seriously don't know what to say. And even in that party, Harsh was still blackmailing me to do what he said. When Arjun got to know about him, he immediately left his place and escaped from him. I told all the truth to Arjun but i stopped him in saying about the video of mine to anyone. Please Radhika, talk to  him. He really loves you more than anything in this world. Your are his everything. Trust him and he is the one you can trust more than god. I wanted to say this to you when i told to Arjun but suddenly i came with my husband for his business deals and unfortunately we extended our trip to more than a month. Arjun also kept quiet about my video since he did not want my past to spoil my present. He is a gem of a person. And you are really lucky to have him in your life"


Radhika is still in shock listening the truth and Spandana holds her hands saying, "even now you might have a doubt but i swear on my daughter. Whatever i told you now is THE TRUTH. Go Radhika. Go and get your love back"


Radhika is unable to tolerate the truth and cried vigourously reminiscing her sweet and bitter moments with Arjun. She immediately runs from there and hire a taxi to his office address.


Spandana smiles seeing her and message to some number saying, "She is on the way. All the best"


Radhika rushes to the office where Arjun's meeting is going on. She is stopped by the receptionist there and did not allow her to enter into the meeting place. Radhika is in urge to meet Arjun immediately but she couldn't meet him. With a sad face, she tries to call him to his mobile but she didn't get any response from him.


She keeps wait for him until his meeting gets over. Arjun comes down after some time once his meeting is over and little shocked seeing her staying there still.


Radhika smiles happily seeing him and hugs him tightly muttering, "I am sorry Arjun. Please forgive me. I am very sorry"


Arjun smiles over her head and makes his face serious pulling from her, "What happened?"


Radhika chokes in between her cries, "I should have waited that day. I was so angry on you. I don't know what to do. I cried a lot that day. I am so sorry Arjun. Please forgive me"


With no expression he takes her with him to his car and makes her sit in the passenger seat and he takes his driver seat and drives the car silently.


Radhika's heart beats faster than before seeing his silence, she holds his hand but he moves his hand away and looks outside while driving.


Tears keep on rolling on her cheeks seeing his ignorance and she continues, "I met Spandana today"


He turns his head towards her giving her a quizzical look asking her, "What she told?"


Rads, "She told the truth behind our separation. She told it's all Harsh's plan to make me go against you"


Arjun, "What else she told?"


Rads looks scared seeing his serious look, "You...you are not at fault. You never...cheated on me. It's all my...my" she pause for a second and continues, "misunderstanding"


Arjun smirks, "That's what i was saying for so long time and you never believed me and my words"


Rads again holds his hand, "I am sorry Arjun. Please forgive me"


He parks the car in the hotel and takes her with him to their room. He gets her inside saying, "Get ready with your package. We are leaving tonight"


Rads is in shock, "Arjun?"


Arjun, "My meeting is over. As always i won the deal and we are going to work together in future"


She keeps quiet and he continues, "Go and get ready with your pack"


He goes out from the room leaving her startled and she keeps crying thinking about her blunder she made in her life.


Rads to herself, "I know i hurt you more but you never know that i too get hurt whenever you are hurt. I always love you Arjun but my hatred on you was overpowered me. It was my fault of not knowing the truth even though you tried to make me understand. I am sorry Arjun. By any way, i will get your forgiveness and will get you back in my life"


Arjun with a smile talks to himself, "The table turns now. I will see how you going to get me back. I am so excited to see you in action" he winks looking at her in a half opened door.
