Chapter 31 - Tit for Tat



Radhika finds Arjun in a deep thoughts while driving to home and often she steals a glance from him.


She gets more curious now seeing Arjun's smirk in the corner of his lips and it creates an urge to know the reason for his smirk.


"What's that for?" all of a sudden she questioned him.


Arjun smirks again and rolls his eyes outside replying her, "Definitely it's not necessary for you to know" she keeps looking at him and he continues, "And you are not that important for me to tell everything what i think" he finishes his words like a slap on her face.


And it's totally unexpected from Arjun, she sits with an open mouth in a shock looking at his attitude and angry towards her.


Tears brims in her eyes immediately when he hurts her by his words.


"Am i not important for you, Arjun?" she stutter in between her sobs.


Arjun looks outside to control his feelings seeing her tears and turns to the road view by keeping an expressionless face and holds the steering tightly, "I already told you and i don't want to repeat it"


Before he finishes his words, a drop of tear falls in her cheeks. She turns to the other side to hide her tears, the moment she turns to look out, Arjun looks at her with a sad face and takes out his left hand to touch her but stops in the mid air, folds his fist tightly by controlling his emotions.


They soon reached their home and Radhika is waiting for him to come and open the door and take her out as always like before. She keeps looking at him while getting out but he did not even give a glance towards her and walks inside the home leaving her in the car itself.


Radhika silently gets down and goes in having a dull look on her face. Samrat & Nandini notices her walking to her room without even greeting them.


Nandini, "Why is she like that?"


Samrat, "Now it's his turn to act mad"


Nandu, "Sam told me everything. That was really a shocking one to know that they both loved each other in their college days and how she misunderstood Arjun for all these years. She is the reason behind Arjun's arrogant behaviour for all these years. You know what, even i was angry on Radhika like Arjun."


Samrat looks at 


Nandu, "She could've spoke to him at least once, but she bluntly ran away from him. You know right, how he was behaving once he came home. You forgot?"


Samrat, "Past is Past. Everything is clear now. And now it's in their hands to sort the issues between them. Leave them alone, they are matured enough to handle the problems on their own and my instinct says Arjun is playing with her"


Nandu, "Seriously?"


Samrat smirks, "He was so much in love with her even when she had a hatred for him and now she realized the truth, how can you expect your son to hate and ignore her?"


Nandu sighs listening him with a smile and he continues, "It's impossible for him to hate her because, he is so much in love with her and it's clearly evident in his eyes"


She smiles hearing and agreed his words saying, "Hope all goes well soon"


************


The Dinner went in a pin drop silence. Even Samrat & Nandini did not speak a word. Arjun finishes his dinner and runs back to his room to avoid talking to Radhika.


After a while, Arjun comes out from the washroom after refreshing and finds Radhika on the corner of the bed lost in her own world.


Arjun keeps watching her sad face and tears on her cheeks, he gets an urge to go wipe out her tears, hug her tightly and seal her lips with his.


"Arjun walks towards her keeping his eye glue on her. He goes and stand in front of her who is sitting with her heads down staring the floor.


She moves her eyes up to find him already stares her with love and whispers, "Arjun"


Arjun holds her shoulder and makes her stand facing him. He wipes the tears in her cheeks and cups her face so close to his.


He leans forward and plants a kiss on her forehead then to her eyes, to her cheeks and finally he keeps gazing at her lips with an inch gap between them muttering on her lips, "I am sorry for making you cry"


Rads, "No, i am sorry for not trusting you. I am sorry"


Arjun smiles holding her so close and seals her lips with an intense kiss."


A sudden knock on the door brings him back to the reality who keeps standing at the same position and he realises that all were his imagination.


He breathe out heavily looking at her and goes to his side on the bed to sleep.


"Arjun" Radhika calls him hesitantly.


Arjun who is sitting on the bed showing his back to her in a rigid tone, "What now?"


"Won't you ever forgive me? Please give me one chance, Arjun" she pleads him in between her sobs.


Now he is completely on her side, "Did you give me a chance? A chance to prove my love? Even after these many years, i was running behind you to show my love on you and you always find a chance to hurt me" he pause it for a second and continues, "I know the drama you are putting in office to make me jealous seeing you with Saral. Don't try that again because, sometimes it may get worse"


Rads, "Please tell me what i need to do, so that you will forgive me"


Arjun, "Go to sleep. For now, please do that for me"


He turns of the light to his side and dips his body on the bed.


Radhika continues starring him for a while and lies down on the bed facing his side thinking, "I will find a way for sure to get you back Arjun. You can't escape from me Mr. Mehra"


Soon she also drifted to sleep and later Arjun opens his eyes to see his gorgeous wife sleeping peacefully facing him.


He tucks her hair strands behind her ears slowly and talks to himself, "I love to see your fighting to win me back. I couldn't hold me away from you for so long"


He smiles looking at her moving and murmurs, "You will have a surprise tomorrow"


He gives a flying kiss to her and goes back to his sleep.


*********


Next day, Radhika gets ready to go to office and finds that Arjun is left already. 


She enters in hastily to go to her place but stops in a mid way finding Arjun is talking to a beautiful girl, he keeps laughing at her and looks so happy. Radhika's nerves gets hyper seeing him laughing so happily at her. Before she moves, they both walks towards the entrance.


In a fraction of seconds, her face shows the shock and anger together seeing her legs topple and  Arjun holds wraps his arms around her waist before she falls down on the floor and she holds his arms tightly to get a balance without missing an eye lock with him.


Radhika is furious to see them like that and gets hyper finding her gawking her husband like a prey.
