Chapter 24 (Part 2)
Radhika pulled her car before the mansion….She felt annoyed…depressed….ignored…over all dejected listening and thinking about Arjun….he stayed as a puzzle even now….she wanted to blind trust him but everytime,her fate brought a new shade of him, like a news for her….Now…Neil too was in contact with him…his idea…her lips thinned at that…idiot..!! She wants to be care free now…to giggle like brainless…forget the pain…for few hours at least….Sam!! ..She got down wondering about the reason her calls to Sam remaining unanswered…she saw Sam’s car parked there..
She walked inside calling Sam’s name aloud… “Sam has left for some work..Charity function arrangements..”she turned listening Piyali’s voice….
How did she forget her mom!! Now,she will be a prey for her mom’s vile words..
“So…how are you doing Mrs…Arjun Ratan Mehra”,Piyali asked slyly…
“Am sorry Mom!”,Radhika apologized for not informing about Marriage…
“You got the note!! Clever…!! So…why are you here…did your husband send you back to get more properties?”,Piyali asked staggering..
“Careful Please..”,Radhika came forward with concern..
“Better you could have been”,Piyali said hiccuping…”Why do you look dull….you should be happy marrying our Rival..your foolish dad was..”,she spat as she sipped another shot…
“Mom…I think you had more than enough…take care..”,Radhika stepped away..
“Not enough..tell.me…tell me why you married him…did he threaten with those stupid photos…or….he asked you,in return for our factory..what’s the reason you married him”,Piyali asked breathing heavily in anger.
Radhika stood confused but irritated at her state….”Nothing like that…we love each other”,she cut short…
“Love…!! Love on you or your wealth…ask your husband what else he wants…our factory…our resort…now BS too…and you too…wow!!…he wants everything from us….Nothing is left”,Piyali pouted with drink’s effect…
“What…he is just a normal employee…a middle class guy..”,Radhika sounded annoyed..
Piyali laughed…”Whom you are trying to fool around…Prin..Princhesss…!!”,She sagged over the couch…. “Arjun!! he faked his identity for his bl**dy company…
for his R&R global holdings….!! Arjun Ratan Mehra…son of Raj Ratan mehra..the only Rival of Samrat Khanna..”,Piyali closed her eyes a little…
“What nonsense”,Radhika asked irritated..
Piyali saw her,”I speak with Pure sense…!! Khanna industries…Sunshine resort….both were claimed by that betrayer Raj…..Now his son is behind our Birdsong”,she said looking the ground..
Radhika turned around to leave..
“Why are you running away from the truth….don’t tell me that you weren’t aware about him…”,Piyali hissed in anger…her face got a shade of slightest red..
“Tell me only one thing….Are you a part of deal….or did you trade yourself for these properties….”she asked looking straight into Radhika’s eyes..
Radhika stood rooted listening that…why the day have to be this cruel on her….
“Our lucrative businesses got claimed by his company…and he fooled me with a fake surname..why did he work here being a billionaire…Answer this “,Piyali’s anger was much visible…every muscle on her face trembled when.she spoke gritting her teeth….
“You cheated us….you went for his money….you married him in a dayz span…what for….did he promise you that he will return all those…if so…listen.me…He won’t….!! He will never…!! Never…”,she came close to Radhika…..
“This can’t be the truth”,Radhika mumbled…
“Find yourself then…..else…wait….”,Piyali moved stumbling with the steps she took….
Radhika wiped her tears…she thought a minute….she dialed Neil..but cut the next instant and called Prakash…Prakash was a easy target for her compared to Neil..
“Pk…you too hid things from me…about Arjun…hmmm???…about his business…and his dad’s….why Pk..”,she asked trying to sound herself..
After a second…prakash replied,” Radz..what are you asking….”..
“Arjun himself told me…don’t act..you dumbo”,she said in a playful tone…expecting her mom’s words to turn unrealistic
“Really..!! Rads..then one more problem is solved…its Neil..who told.me after your reception..”,Prakash blurted…
“Hmmm….I see….Neil is changing sides…and this Arjun had fooled us in college times…we shouldn’t leave him”,she said like a fun…
“Hmm..who expected him to be a billionaire….I dint believe when I heard..then…I searched later,with the infos Neil gave like a hint…Radz….if Faizal gets to know about Arjun’s background,he will never cross our path….”,Prakash said with a sudden happiness in his voice..
“Pk…Arjun may be rich…but think about the political power Faizal has…we had seen it once”,Radhika said only to hear more about Arjun…
“Radzzz….what are u saying…Arjun’s R&R company holds major shares of Faizal’s steel firm..the one in east…So don’t worry my sweet sister….Arjun will play the game well…”Prakash rejoiced….”We will make him pay for every thing he did with you….if only I had known about Arjun and his dad before,I would have brought him down at any risk..”,Prakash was in his own world…
Radhika disconnected the call citing a work and messaged to Riya to check about shares and Investments of R&R global holdings….She saw piyali to come with a some news paper, and she threw that on the wooden teapoy before her…
The page of Business news read about the overnight business takeover…the quarter page article spoke about the business leads of two companies to be rumored to have a friendship..praising the business Giant for his unpredictable decisions and raised a question at its last paragraph about business rivalry… She saw it to be dated few months back…
“Khanna Industries !! you may not remember..Samrat’s made his venture to business world with that…This is the reason he got heart attack..the loss..the betrayal from RR”,Piyali said serving herself a drink..
Radhika couldn’t stand there more…she felt to lose herself at any moment.,she threw the paper back and walked away.
She drove aimlessly..her mind was occupied only with the day’s happenings….Arjun’s every word from morning,and now she recalled her dad and Arjun’s discussion moments…
She was happy with the bond between her life’s precious men…she was annoyed now on herself for not considering those…
She shook her head in agony….She noticed a black Innova vehicle behind her.,adjusting the rear view mirror,she drove rash all of a sudden and applying her tricks she found it to follow her…she smirked when the vehicle followed her like a puppy dog….Radhika violated a signal to fool them and halted hers at a lone lane…As she checked turning behind,her eyes wryly twinkled looking the wine bottles she took yesterday….
Radhika’s mobile alerted with Riya’s msg of image shared..it was a screen shot of a e-article about the recent acquire of that company and its nothing but theirs…Khanna industries ….she faintly remembered about that… she tried her best to recall more about their company.. Piyali’s words occupied her already confused mind,she leaped and took those bottles and gulped the contents down…She felt cheated….Betrayed would be the correct word…She couldn’t stop herself from thinking about Arjun and his behavior..,the way he behaved detached.. hid things from her and everyone..She did let go his nature thinking him to be a reserved character…But No..!!
Her mobile rang flashing Prakash’s name..
“Radzz…Am leaving Mumbai…and…Do you know why I called you yesterday..Faizal got recovered..this time.,please don’t do anything on your own…Inform us…or Arjun..You
will listen me isn’t”.,he asked in a go…
She hummed in response…”Don’t worry Pk”,she said before she hung the call…
“The devil is back!”,she smiled herself..
“Radzzie where are you”,Neil asked the moment Radhika attended his call…His guards had informed that they lost her track..
“On the way to home”,Radhika lied a simple one..
“Am at your place..It’s locked..Do you have the spare key.”,he asked a logical one..
“Hmm…Arjun will be reaching there..Now..bye”,she spoke what flashed her mind at that instant and sat thinking about them…their wedding..her fingers swiped their pictures on her mobile as she intoxicated herself with the firewater to overcome her mental trauma…Her fingers madly swiping her mobile screen,somewhere opened the message Teji sent a day before…Address!! The address that got registered with that Range Rover car Arjun owned…A second later she smiled wickedly as she turned the ignition on…

“Aru…I will go back..Make arrangements for that…”,Nandhini said as she sipped her coffee…
Arjun looked her intently..”Are you sure di..Promise me you won’t repeat the same…”,Arjun said… Looking her to smile he continued.,”You should trust your Aru..”,he sighed
“Who else do I have to trust in my life”,she asked looking his face… “Can I meet Radhika once”,she asked with her gaze fixed on her coffee mug..
Arjun masked his shock with a smile.,”You can..but not now…After a month…Now..I will book tickets for you”,he got up quickly to avoid further conversation…
“Promise?”,she asked to his back…
“Yea…”,he lethargically uttered as he climbed stairs… He called Neil on reaching the terrace..
“Neil..do me a favor…don’t let that POA papers to come in picture until situation persists and do accompany Radhika to BS tomorrow”,he said in a orderly tone..
“Hold your horses,Man! I too have a business to look after..and do you know why did we get you married”,Neil chuckled and continued “Go with YOUR wife”,he bit his lips controlling his mirth..
“Oh…Really…Lemme speak with Prena aunt”,Arjun said equally mocking..
“woo..Am scared…I already have 3 companies..Get lost…Khaadoos senior.!!. If possible take care of cheer beats..Anyways you are jobless now”,Neil snorted a laugh…
Arjun felt light when Neil conversed him jovially and addressed him like he used to do in college time…khadoos senior..he smiled
“Jobless!!! I see…Lemme wake you tonight to witness the official works I handle…Neil…Please yaar”,Arjun said..
“One more time”,Neil said honking his car expressing his joy..
“What s the matter?”,Arjun asked suspiciously..
“We found out that your company holds Faizal’s steel firm…”,Neil spoke in a high note..
“So what?…I don’t need all that to nail him….Now..Only about Radhika..will do or not”,Arjun asked..
“Lets discuss man..Am waiting before your house…Radzzie said she too will come now…Where are you?”,Neil asked..
“Oh..Ok…I will be coming”,Arjun quickly disconnected his call…
Incessant car honking sound drew his attention and he moved to the edge of terrace crooking his neck to see who was there, the other side of the gate
_______–
Her eyes scanned the modern yet classy style bungalow located just few kms before the outskirts of that busy city…They managed to get a bungalow here, wow!,she smirked and blew a lengthy horn before the double iron gates..
“Yes..Ma’am..How would I…”,the guard was cut in when she sharply remarked, “Open the gates!”
The guard raised his voice noticing her drunken mannered talk,”Tell me your name”,he asked…
“Huh”,she looked him snapping an angry look…the guard repeated the same..
“Will.You.Open.or.Not”,she asked as she honked for each word…
“No..I won’t”,the guard said strictly and received a call..
Arjun’s eyes widened when he saw Radhika’s car..But how could she be here,when there is no chance for her to know this place…with a doubt,he called his guard…”Tell me the vehicle number”,he asked…
Least bothered hearing Radhika’s warning,the guard said her vehicle number to Arjun..
“Well..in that case..”,Radhika sing sang high as she sipped her bottle and took reverse swiftly, she raised the accelerator and it roared high..
“Let her in”,Arjun ordered and looking her to reverse her car,”Open the gates…”,he screamed and rushed downstairs…His guards looked the terrace as they heard him scream…
Radhika sped drove her vehicle to hit the gates open,but security guy pushed it open luckily before she could strike on it.,but unfortunately she dashed on Arjun’s car parked inside..Rana and Nandhini saw Arjun to rush descending in stairs…The loud thud noise jolted the trio…
“Who is that”,Rana asked…
“Radhika..”,he said hurriedly…
