Arjun gets happy reading the message and holds it near to his heart. Radhika smiles seeing his love and think, "What you will do when you get to know that I am your secret admirer?"

Her thought gets disturbed when Arjun pats her shoulder asking, "Have you thought about the way to stop this marriage?"

She stammers, "Aaahhhh...no...not yet"

Arjun holds her hands, "I am sorry to put you in a tough situation...but we have to deal my mom and for now, only you can do that...she will listen only you"

Rads looks at his hands on hers and said, "Don't worry sir, you will get your love soon. Just relax"

Both heads to their work but Radhika's mind is not concentrating on anything except Arjun. She keeps on thinking how Arjun gonna react when he knows the truth about Radhika.

Evening Arjun enters inside his home, Nandini stops him, "What you said to Radhika?"

Arjun blinks, "I did not say anything"

Nandini, "Then why she refused the marriage?"

Arjun, "You should ask her, not me"

Nandini, "I very well know about her, she did not say this by herself. You confused her saying something"

Arjun gets irritated, "Mom, please stop your scoldings. Juz tell me what she said which makes you lamenting like this?"

Nandini too keeps angry face on him and said, "She refused this marriage saying she is in love with someone"

Arjun really gets shocked hearing it and it clearly depicts in his voice, "WHAT?"

Nandini, "Don't act Arjun. I know, you only would have given this idea to her"

Arjun, "Seriously...for god sake, believe me. Even it's news for me"

Nandini started crying silently and makes herself comfort in the couch, wiping her tears, "All my dreams got shattered. You both spoiled my happiness"

Arjun, "What I did?"

Nandini, "You are not doing anything and that's my problem?"

Arjun, "What are you saying?"

Nandini, "Why didn't you love Radhika?"

Arjun gasp, "Are you asking the right question to your son?"

Nandini, "I very well aware what I am asking. I am not an old traditional and orthodox mom. I am a modern mother who can understand this generation people very much. I want my son's life to be the best and happiest of all. If you are in love I don't have any issues in accepting her as my daughter-in law. But after seeing Radhika, I can't see anyone else near you. She is the perfect match for you Arjun. I really wish you both should fall in love with each other madly"

Arjun laughs loudly seeing his mother, "Mom, seriously you are making fun of me. You want me to fall in love with Radhika? It will never happen"

Nandini, "Why?"

Arjun, "I don't feel so seeing her"

Nandini, "Then start seeing her in that way, then you will get feelings for her"

Arjun rolls her eyes, "Medicine affects your brain so badly I guess. I take leave now. Please go to your room and take rest. Dad will come at any time and he will scold you for not taking rest. See you @dinner" he leaves to his room before she stops him.

Nandini sighs seeing him going, "Seriously Arjun, I really wish you both fall in love with each other madly and be the best couple in the world" she keeps pout face thinking what to do next.

Radhika too reach her home, Mala stops her from going to her room and asked, "Are you in love with anyone Choti?"

Radhika blinks looking at her and remembering she said this to Nandini and she might have told this to Mala.

Mala shakes her, "I am asking you"

Rads, "Mom...act..actually"

Mala, "Say it"

Rads, "Yes"

Mala is upset thinking Radhika has hidden her love from her though she is being very friendly to her.

Seeing her face, Radhika continues, "But he is not"

Mala gets confused, "What you mean?"

Rads hugs her and said, "I mean, it's a one way mom. I love him but he is not and even he did not know it too"

Mala cups her face, "Do you want me to talk to his parents?"

Rads mindvoice, "They are doing it already" she comes to sense when Mala asks her again and she nods no saying, "I did not want to express it to him since his parents are fixing his marriage with another girl. So I don't wanna disturb him anymore"

Mala hugs her back said, "Nandini called me and cried so much saying that you refused the marriage stating that you are in love. All I want is to see you living happily...that's all. But I have a question Radhika?"

Rads, "Ask me Maa"

Mala, "Since you sacrificed your love already, then why don't you agree to marry Arjun? As far as I know, he is a good character, we know his family and more than that Nandini loves you so much like her own daughter. Even I feel you both will make a good pair. Why don't you agree to marry him?"

Rads, "Maa, it's not about me...Arjun also has to agree right? Can't force one to marry without his wishes"

Mala, "What if he really agree to marry you?"

Rads widens her eyes saying, "I am sure he won't and if you both old ladies plan to do something which makes him agree without any option then I swear I will kill you both"

Mala makes face and Rads warns her again before going to her room.

Arjun dials to Radhika, where in Radhika on her bed relaxing herself, she picks up the call and answer in lazy tone, "Hellow"

Arjun, "Lazy girl, you have hidden a big secret from me"

Radhika snap her eyes open and sits straight asking in shock, "What? What secret?"

Arjun, "About your love"

Rads eyes pops out hearing it and stammers,"No...actually...what happen"

Arjun stops her and continues, "Who is that unlucky boy?"

Rads, "What?"

Arjun, "I mean, your lucky man...whom you love"

Rads snaps her head twice asking, "My love?"

Arjun, "Yes Madam. You told to mom that you are in love...I am asking about that guy"

Rads takes a deep breath and gets relief saying, "Yeah...that's true"

Arjun, "I am so happy...so is it a Love at First Sight?"

Rads smiles, "No, it is Love at First Fight"

Arjun, "Fight? You started fighting with him before seeing him is it?"

Rads remembers the moment when she spoke to Arjun in the phone. How she scolded him and he reacted for that.

She smiles thinking that and said, "Yes, We fought first then only we met"

Arjun, "Nice...so now it's confirmed that this marriage won't happen. But Why you did not say this at first place?"

Rads, "I thought it was not necessary but now since you also requested me to stop this marriage, so I had no option to reveal my secret"

Arjun, "So, tomorrow shall I meet your man?"

Rads, "For what?"

Arjun, "To appreciate him for managing a chatter box like you"

Rads, "Don't overdo"

Arjun, "But still won't you introduce him to me?'

Rads thinks for a while and said, "Well, I have to check with him, then will fix the date for the meeting"

Arjun, "Okay Madam"

Rads chuckles, "Well, do you get any scoop about your love?"

Arjun, "Pcchhhhh....nope, I guess she don't want to see me at all. Just sending messages...I want to hear her voice. How it could be? How she would look like? I seriously don't know about her"

Rads expression changes, "Do you really love her?"

Arjun, "I started I can say"

Rads, "But how? Without seeing her face, you have no idea how she looks?"

Arjun, "I don't know, but some curiosity arises in me and I swear I really don't bother about her looks"

Rads smiles, "Now I don't see the angry young business man Arjun...instead a love stuck puppy"

Arjun laughs, "Even I am surprised and all the credits goes to her"

While saying that she raises her dress collar and pinch her own cheek and kiss it.

Rads, "Any plans to catch her?"

Arjun, "Surprise...tomorrow. I can't wait more...because I need to know her and get my mom's approval for my marriage"

Rads curiously, "What plan?"

Arjun, "I told right...Surprise"

Rads gets into thinking what kind of plan he made it to catch her.

Arjun, "Fine Radhika. Will see you in office tomorrow. Bye Good night"

Rads, "Good night" and disconnected the call thinking what plan he made.
