*****Look at the video at the top******  




Next day, Arjun & Radhika feels an awkwardness in their every encounter, Radhika wants to feel his heart for her...the real one but Arjun's mind and heart still playing the drums about his secret admirer though he knows that this hide and seek game is over .


Arjun's chain of thoughts gets distracted by call and he responds to it, "Yeah Mom" after seeing the name blinking on his mobile.


Nandu, "Arjun, Can you come home early today? And get Radhika with you"


Arjun passes a sharp look at Radhika who is indulged in her work and said, "Why early and Why Radhika?"


Radhika snaps her look at him hearing her name and looks at him with lot of questions.


Nandu, "Get her home with you and come early. Don't ask me any questions" she hangs up the call making him gets frustrated by her actions.


He looks at Radhika who is waiting for him to say something and he says, "Mom, needs us in home early"


After few hours, Arjun and Radhika peep inside Mehra mansion and finds Mala & Neil already there. Sam seated beside Neil and admiring him, Nandini, Samrat and Mala discussing something important.


All their activities get distracted when they find the couple coming in wondering why all gathered at the same place.


Nandini hugs Radhika expressing her happiness and makes her sit with her, Arjun rolls his eyes looking at them and sit beside Neil. They both a gentle smile and Arjun observes Sam who is still starring Neil and Neil gets uncomfy realizing her closeness beside him.


Arjun smirks looking at the two and calls his mom, "Mom, why you called us home early?"


Nandu, "To decide your marriage date. We kept it for next week, so we have to start the marriage preparations soon."


Arjun and Radhika looks at each and he says, "But why so early? We need some time to understand each other. Why you want to urge this mom?"


Nandu in her mind, "If I give time, then you will get some other girl and bug me to get her married to you. I won't let that happen Arjun. Before your mind gets changed, I want your marriage to happen with Radhika" and she smiles at him saying, "We have the best mahurat next week and I want your marriage on that day"


Arjun doesn't say anything after that and finally they confirm the date for marriage and for the other ceremonies too. The discussion on the arrangements made by the elders and after a while, Mishra family leaves to their home.


Radhika sits beside Neil while he is driving and Mala at the back. Suddenly Mala & Radhika started bursting out in laughter and gives hi-fi to each other making Neil shocked.


Neil having an eye on the road and asks, "What made you both bursted out like this?"


Rads turns back looking Mala saying, "Are we thinking the same Maa?"


Mala winks at her, "I guess so"


Again both laughed looking at irritated Neil and make him to stop the car aside and he turns to both of them glaring. Neil, "Now you have to tell me, why you both are laughing like this?"


Mala & Radhika shares something through their eyes and Radhika chuckles at Neil saying, "We have thought that girl, I mean Arjun's sister Sam...she likes you I guess."


Neil's face gets changed and he starts blushing unknowingly after hearing Sam's name and started driving. Mala, "What can we understand if you keep quiet?"


Neil looks at Mala from the mirror and said, "Maa, better talk like a typical Indian mom. Who told you all this?"


Rads, "Who need to tell, it was clearly visible."


Neil, "Nothing as such. It was your imagination"


Mala, "How can we both get the same imagination Neil?" she asks so innocently.


Rads controls her laughter and said, "May be, you were imagined something else, but we all saw how she was with you, how closely you both were sitting"


Mala makes a fake angry face and rolls her big wide eyes saying, "Mmm yes, how can you sit with her that much close when I was there?"


Neil laughs at her reaction and looks outside of the car with his usual dimple smile and said, "It's all your hallucination. Don't imagine too much and concentrate on this little girl's marriage"


Rads makes faces, "I am not a little girl my big brother"


Neil imitates her, "You are my little sister"


Rads having serious face, "Don't you like her?"


Neil, "Who?"


Mala sighs, "Sam, Samaira. Arjun's sister"


Neil turns back to have a glance at her mom and rubs his forehead of giving unbelievable reactions.


Rads wait for an answer from him, "I am waiting for your answer"


Neil, "What to say?"


Rads, "Don't you like her? Yes or No"


Neil blinks at her and suddenly his mobile flashes with an unknown number. He signs Radhika to pick it up and she puts it on speaker. Neil responds having the mobile in speaker, "Hello"


Neil, Radhika and Mala, the trio gets shocked and surprised hearing a girl's voice on the other side of the call.


Neil stammers, "Mmm... May I know who is this?"


Caller gets silent for a few seconds and replied, "It's me Sam...Samaira"


Radhika eyes goes wider than before, Mala chokes and Neil blush listening it. Radhika signs him to continue speaking.


He rolls his eyes and replied, "Oh...Anything to say"


Sam, "Nothing...I just called. I got your number from mom, just thought of checking you whether you all reached home safely"


Rads controls her laughter by closing her mouth and Neil bangs his forehead and said, "Yeah, we are about to reach. Another 5 mins"


Sam, "That's good. Anyways message me once you in home and this is my number. Save it"


Neil blinks looking at Radhika and Mala and said, "Ok. Bye"


Sam, "Bye"


Radhika disconnected the call and glares Neil, Mala too glaring him through the mirror in the front. Neil keeps silent looking at the two ladies and thinks how to manage them now.


Rads & Mala started laughing talking about the call and teasing him to the core. Once they reach their home, Neil storms inside his room leaving them behind.


They both keep on teasing him talking about Sam and her call makes him irritated to the core.


He gets changed into his night suite and looking at his mobile. His expression gets changed seeing a message. He opens it and read, "Hey, hope you all reached home safe"


He very well knows it that it is from Sam, he scratches his head and replied, "Yep"


He gets a bling again with a reply, "Glad to know. So what's up?"


Neil stares the message and started smiling ear to ear and murmurs, "Crazy girl"


He goes out with a cute smile dancing on his face and it goes noticed by the queen & the princess in that home.


Mala murmurs in Rads ears "What could be the reason for his smile?"


Rads, "Obvious answer, Sam should have messaged"


Mala, "For what?"


Rads, "To check whether, we reached home or not"


Mala smiles looking at blushing Neil and goes to kitchen murmuring, "Infact, you should have get messages from Arjun like this but Neil is getting from her sister. Weird"


Radhika gets upset on Mala's words and goes to her room sadly. She hugs her teddy tightly and leans on its spongy shoulder and talks to him, "Why Arjun did not even message and asked me whether I reached home safely or not?"


She continues,"Probably he knows it already that I am in home"


"But still, atleast for a courtesy he should have asked me right" she keeps talking with her teddy and forget to notice the message in her mobile.


Soon her mobile flashes with her favorite ringtone, she blinks her eyes twice to make sure and picks up the call, before she says something she hears an intent voice from the caller, "Hello Radhika"


Rads heart skip a beat hearing his voice, "Ya...Ya...Arjun"


Arjun, "In home?"


Rads, "Yes"


Arjun, "I messaged you to check but I haven't get any reply"


Radhika panics and looks at her message box seeing his message and pats her head replying, "Sorry, I did not notice it. I was busy in talking with...." She stops after that biting her tongue.


Arjun gets curious , "Talking with?"


Radhika understands the curiosity in his voice and tricks him saying, "With my another friend who is very close to me"


Arjun's face shrink hearing her but still maintains the calmness in his voice asking, "May I know your friend name?"


Radhika laughs silently and said, "Yep, You should know him...because he is very close to me"


Arjun's voice tone gets changed, "Him?"


Radhika dancing on the bed as in the sitting position itself and hugs her teddy tightly and replied, "Yes, my close friend Babloo"


Arjun, "Babloo?"


Rads, "Yes, because he is so chubby, I always likes to pull out his chubby cheeks. He looks chubby like his name"


Arjun sighs, "Fine, you continue your talk with your friend. I will meet you tomorrow in office"


Before she says something, he hangs up the call and she pouts her face but started laughing like a mad seeing the teddy sitting on her lap, she hugs it tightly and said, "I love you so much Babloo. We are partner in crime now"


There in Mehra mansion, Arjun keeps wandering in his room, he is not sad or angry but something disturbs him more after talking to Radhika. He ignores all the thought and drifts to sleep so early, having so many thoughts running in his mind.


Sam stares the pic of Neil in what's app profile of his; she rolls her fingers softly on his face and smiles looking at his.


Next day, Radhika decides to impress Arjun today. She decides to get a place in her heart as Radhika but not any of the secret admirers. She wears a beautiful saree of her favorite color, adorns her with a matching jewel set of it, and puts a minimal make up to make sure that she should not be looking horrible.


Arjun comes to office early and thinks to check with Radhika about her friend Babloo, he wishes morning everyone and talks to his manager about some details before going to his room. Suddenly few men turned to the entrance and gets dazzled by a person who enters inside their bay like a feather.



Even Arjun too gets hypnotized looking at her walking elegantly towards him. She let her hair flowing in in the air and having a cute smile on her face wishing everyone morning and makes it very special for them.


She keeps starring at Arjun and passes him a sweet morning wishes and enters inside her cabin. Arjun's Soul follows her leaving him physically outside the room.



Radhika comes inside and jumps happily murmuring, "Clean bowled".
