Chapter 29 (Part 1)
Her mobile alarm woke him up,while she was in no mood let go of her beauty sleep… “Jerry…Its 7..why have you set an alarm..Wake up..”,he rubbed his eyes…
Twisting her whole in a stretch.,she moaned a little..”Senior..Sleep..”,she turned to other side lying on her stomach….”Am tired..!”…Her mobile beeped with another new tone this time..
“Useless alarms..”,he leaned over her back,to pick her mobile for her side table.,she snatched it.,madly dashing over him…He yelped a little rubbing his jaw., “Whats wrong with you?”,he whined…
She stumbled with sheets coiled around her feet.,but jumped off the bed hastily and slouched on the couch..
“Weird!!”,he said aloud which got no good reaction,other than a yawn from her…. “Whats so important?”,he got off the bed and moved towards her….
Yawning aloud,she stressed her sleepy orbs to focus on her mobile screen… “Got busy this soon!!”,he arranged their bed…He stood still,watching her face to lose its liveliness gradually…She won’t share with him…..Her minutes before,sleepy orbs now looked disturbed….
“Jerry..!”,she turned her gaze to him…”Good morning!!”,he patted her head before stepping out..She heard the door being locked from outside…
—
“Morning di”,he walked to Nandhini…
“Aru..you woke up”,she asked surprised,watering plants in that garden…
“Yea..little early! Its been some time.,we had a talk….”,he conversed with her looking around….
“I know Aru..you are quite busy these days…”,she said when Atif approached them..
“Looking cool dude”,Arjun patted his shoulder,who stood in Light blue shirt and sandal color pant… “Got ready this soon?”,he asked.,while Atif returned a grim smile….
“Di..you continue…Atif…Gimme Radhika’s car keys..”,he moved with Atif..
“Sir….I think Neil sir’s boys will do…Lets inform Ma’am about the vehicle daily..so that,she won’t fool them….”,Atif walked along with Arjun who had an arm around his shoulder…
“Why Neil’s..they weren’t able to get her that day..when she came here..I told you isn’t”,Arjun looked him..
“That’s the reason sir….It will favor us when needed…Am sure about my decision..and…Thank you sir”,he said looking Arjun’s arm on his shoulder…
Arjun smiled..”Ok my boy!!..Do it..But you got ready this early?”,he asked..
“Sir..Its already past 8..Ma’am will leave before 9Am isn’t”,he checked his watch..
Masking his surprise.,he made a move,lamenting himself about being so engrossed in conversing with his di…..
“You said 10 mins its been half an hour”,Rana extended a coffee tray….
“Yea….yea”,he ran fast with the tray..He indeed planned for the said time…
—
She saw him to pour coffee on both the mugs…..”You drink black coffee isn’t….I had noticed, when you were in BS”,she said drying her hair…
“Well…Atif..decided to go with Neil’s guys…don’t play again this time”,he sipped his coffee..
“If you don’t like,why do you drink…Its for me isn’t”,she saw him to glare,listening her… Yes! for Her!
“I had parked your car..So..don’t wait for me”,he moved with that..
—
“Kaka”,she called and Rana stood rooted without turning around….
Smiling confused,he blinked how to respond her…She noticed his discomfort while she randomly spoke things to him..
“Ok..Now….Say,do you know him?”,she extended her mobile…
His eyes widened in surprise,next moment melted as he got the mobile… “So..how is your nephew looking in my choice of dress”,she sat on the kitchen counter facing him…
“Radhi beta…!”,he called surprised… “Raghav!! I ..”,he smiled feeble with tears…
“Oops…No tears please! I thought you will ask something when I spoke with you..but No!!”,she pouted… “Raghav bhaiya said about you…I will give his number..better be in contact..you know.,he has a son of 12 years old”,she munched a carrot…
“Kaka..What’s today’s breakfast”,she asked glancing the kitchen shelves…
—-
“Yes Neil…In half an hour! Ok..No…no…She will be in BS now..I know she has a meeting at the same time we meet..so no prob”,Arjun came walking to lock his room but was surprised to see her car keys lying on the table..Just like how he left!!
Grabbing those,he descended fast.,but stopped in midway.,seeing her to munch something with her view fixed on laptop screen…Her fingers typing something fast… “Who gave you breakfast”,he asked aloud from the steps..
“Am I priso…”
“Cut the crap!”,he yelled aloud….
“Ajju beta..I did it…Radhi beta’s favorite…She was..”,Rana’s words dissolved looking Arjun’s cold stare…
“Where is di?”,he asked and Radhika smiled wide…
“I too missed her”,she said typing fast…
“Off,to your so called office…Move!”,he spoke in annoyance gesturing Rana to leave…
Rana looked displeased.,but she packed her bag saying.,”Have some juice atleast..Ajju beta!! Empty stomach makes much noise..!”..
He halted on his steps listening her.,he held her by arm,”What nonsense!..Behave yourself before others..and wasn’t your breakfast poisoned…I asked to..”,he left his hold…
She pouted angry,smacking his arm… “And I asked you to leave..Why are you here still?”,he took a juice carton..
“There is no one here…your di is busy in gardening at backyard..and..Breakfast!…I was with kaka isn’t..so No poison!..Better luck next time!”,she replied and he coughed into his drink…She left with her bag…!!
—
“You raised a hue and cry for your car….Now why are you here?”,he asked irritated….
“I just wanted to have a look….but you see,..I can’t leave my Rover baby”,she plastered her chin with that glass window of passenger seat…
Rubbing his forehead.,he took her vehicle to their backyard parking place…
“Did she enquire anything about di?”,Arjun asked in low voice as he walked back to his car…He saw his guards to be look him weird….
“No…simply discussed about food and preparation…she preferred to learn cooking”,Rana replied..
“What are you doing? walking front and back….Parking the same car here and there..”,Nandhini came wiping mud in her hands….
Atif pressed his lips controlling his laughter…
“Well..that car still needs some service”,Arjun moved…
She hopped on the passenger seat as soon as he clicked the door open..”You made me to stand,isn’t”,she adjusted her seat belt..
“Move to rear seat..Atif comes with me…That’s gonna be his place”,he smirked while she glared him… “It was your decision isn’t”,he mocked..
She got down without a word…Atif came to Arjun’s side…”Sir..I will drive..Pls be seated with Ma’am”,he pulled the door open..
“Yes..Yes…Atif you look smart….Pls throw that uniform kinda….”,her words trailed off when Arjun turned back to her…
“Atif..Do you know the route”,Arjun asked seated with Radhika…
“Sir..It was you who said Dual responsibility….Don’t get angry on me”,Atif smiled looking through rear mirror…
“Really!!”,she saw him.,while Arjun turned his face the other side…
—-
Radhika found the route anew.,and Arjun was keen in messaging Neil about their meeting…
“Atif..You took wrong route I guess”,she remarked sullen…
“No Ma’am…Aren’t you aware of this one…Back entrance for Grand Duke’s”,Atif saw Arjun..while Arjun closed his eyes muttering curses…
The watchman greeted looking Arjun..and then noticed Radhika…
“Ma’am in case of any trouble,you should use this route..pls..Its my request”,Atif said to her…
The Grand Duke’s !! She wondered how Atif got to know about this….her eyes devoured every inch of her view of that commercial Zone!…
“Ma’am..It looks more like a IT park..Only difference we don’t have IT companies here”,Atif crooked his neck looking outside,driving slow….
Intrigued with Arjun’s silence.,she asked.,”Have you been ever in this way?”..
No one would use this,when they have a posh gateway entrance in the front…Moreover it nearly takes 10 mins to reach birdsong from back entrance…
Atif smirked and turned to her….She saw Arjun to relax his neck in head rest with closed eyes…
“You are here for first time?”,she asked and Atif nodded affirmative…He clearly analyzed every other pathways….
“Ma’am you need to secure the left side..Look!”,he pointed…Radhika sat surprised with Arjun’s silence…
“Sir..Hope now,you believe I know the route…”,he said..
“And you never left stalking me,isn’t”,Arjun mocked as they reached BS…
“So..you used this way for past 6 months??”,Radhika exclaimed surprised….
“And fooled Mehra sir’s boys”,Atif chuckled…
Arjun smiled wide…”Oh my god!…From where and Why did I get you?”,he asked to Atif.,and smacked his head..
“Thats a compliment!”,Atif smiled…
“Atif..Bro…Great job!!”,Radhika gave a thumbs up..
“Ma’am don’t forget the route..if you have any doubts pls ask our sir”,Atif got down laughing to himself…
“Turning too talkative now a days”,Arjun said to his back…
“He is So loyal..!! You are Lucky Arjun and.,you behaved like a naughty teen..gosh! back entrance”,she turned to him…Arjun saw Atif to stay few steps away from their car..
“Arjun…I want my derringer back..”,she looked him….
“You want to handle a killer weapon!..and asking it to your husband !…I threw that crap away…Forget it!…and get down..You are late”,he remarked annoyed…
“Come by 7..today atleast”.,she pouted…
“I can’t..thats y I asked to drive yourself”,he snapped…
“I won’t…and what made you late yesterday”,she asked to his face…
“If its late why dint you call me…Stubborn!! isn’t…You won’t speak until I ..”,….she pecked his cheek…
“Yes..Am stubborn…You loved this stubbornness…Now what bothers you”,she moved to his lap….He was taken aback at that..
“Ra..”,she pecked his other cheek and forehead.,cupped his face.,while his eyes scanned the place around them…
“Why should I speak,when I have you…Senior..you speak a lot..”,she kissed him again..
“You..get down…Atif is there..!”
“He isn’t a fool…why he parked here and now standing with his back to us..”,she wiggled her brows…
“Turning shameless…The vehicle is in neutral…are you..”,she crashed her lips on his… “Hold me”,she mumbled on his lips…. His palm covered her waist listening that….
“Am not as better as you”,she said breaking their kiss…
“Just Better?”,he cocked a brow smiling… “Get down now..”,he tucked hair strands behind her ear… “Look your shirt…I told you not to wear these colors”,he tried to move her..
“I so love your anger.!!”,she hugged him tight,giggling…”Senior..you are struck..you can’t respond now”..
He gripped the armrest hard…”So smart!! wonder the upshots,If I respond!”,he chuckled…while she gave mock look to his left hand..
“Controlling yourself..”,she tittered.. “Respond…My dear!…Atif would come running to save this vehicle”,she looped her arms around his neck..
“Crazy one”,he slapped her cheek….
He sighed audibly.,she giggled more,wearing a sleeveless jacket over her shirt… “The meeting was cancelled…Arjun..I need to speak with you..How about lunch ?”,she asked..
“You cancelled?”,he asked shocked and she nodded a yes….”Don’t do anything in haste..did you discuss with Neil?”,he asked…
“I will….Lunch?”,she asked..
“Only if you are ready to speak….”,he remarked sharp..
“I need to..we need to…Its going over board…please meet the legal associates”,she sounded low…
He turned thoughtful…”Ok..stop worrying ..pls”,he said.. “And evening..okay?..”,he took his mobile..
“Okay Giraffe!!”,she sing sang as she got down..
He laughed,as his fingers ran through his hair…
“Hey.,Mr.Mehra !”,she called in a attitude tone….He turned to her side…
“How about a 5mm caliber…”she winked and he rolled his eyes amused….

“Where the hell were you?”,Neil gritted his teeth…
“Hell..? Heaven…I don’t deserve hell you see”,Arjun replied…
“Don’t speak like Radzzie”,Neil pulled the usb and connected to his laptop..
“Yea..Neil..how on earth she knew about Pistol varieties..”,Arjun sagged in a chair..
Neil chortled…”Why?”…She asked you one?”,he smirked… “Arjun..was that you behind Faizal’s accident?”,he asked..
“No.!! I had asked a person to collect details on him..I did nothing other than that…I thought its you”,Arjun replied…
“Ah..then Radzzie..!! because Prakash won’t do this”,Neil thinned his lips..
“Radhika…!! No..She din’t receive the picture in first place..She won’t do anything,without my knowledge”,Arjun retorted relaxing himself…
“Then it is her!! Inspite of…”
“No Neil…I assure its not her…you play the audio”,Arjun said a little high this time..
“Sam…hey..had your breakfast…”,Neil attended a call asking Arjun to be silent…. Arjun observed Neil’s talk…
“How is she now?”,he asked once Neil disconnected the call… “Heard about your stunts there…”,Arjun winked…
“Ah..your guards!…Pain in neck..! They enquired me a lot”,Neil sat next to Arjun… “She is ok…! Lets see what is…”he stopped listening Piyali’s voice to play in that audio clip…
—
“So..You are here! Glad Mrs.Mehra”,Piyali sounded sly..
“Mom..”
“Shut up! Radhika”
Neil paused it..
“She will speak vile with Radzzie….I can’t hear it…”,Neil tried to get up…
“We need to…Neil…this is why I asked you to sent Radhika to uncle’s cabin…Seeing Radhika as BS owner Piyali Aunt will definitely…”
“Stop it Arjun..I never thought this…Idiot! you have no idea what she speaks..RadzXie never retorts…”
“That’s a old story buddy…Listen now! I bet you! after all.,I laid the trap for Piyali aunt..not for my wife”,Arjun said resuming it to play again…
–
“Shut up! Radhika!! I told you he is our Rival”,Piyali’s voice came high…
“Then why dad din’t let me know…”,Radhika asked in low tone…
“Because..your dad was trapped..the properties are with Mehras..what will he do”,Piyali said like explaination…
(Neil saw Arjun..,who listened it intent…)
“Mehras!! why should they..”
“Am not here to say their history..Listen…Tell me one thing..Have you signed any document to Arjun…Else transfer your shares to my name..If you want us to live with self respect”,piyali sounded more like a plead…
“I dint”,Radhika said after a moment of silence… “Mom! why BS alone..Khanna industries…and…”
“We cant get it back..will your husband give it…He is a cheater! He fooled me..us..and you…you were fooled in the name of love..I never thought you to fell in his trap…”Piyali sounded instigative…
“Am sorry I turned a shame..!”,Radhika apologized….
“You did..Now whats the use of worrying….Lets save this company atleast”,Piyali’s voice sounded demanding…
“Mom..I was fooled”,Radhika said…
(Neil grew impatient.,Arjun held his hands nodding negative…)
“Leave it…Throw him out of your life….”,Piyali replied…There was a complete silence for next few minutes..
(The duo tuned their ears sharp to listen the next…)
“What are you thinking Radhika?”,Piyali asked…
“Mom…We shouldn’t leave this…I should get back the other two properties also”….”Radhika said..
Piyali laughed humorless…”How…They acquired it legally…”
“But why to?”
“Simple..Rivalry!…He was jealous of your dad…his success…but I never expected that he would use his own son,and stoop low..”Piyali spoke irritated..
“Mom…Then why don’t we try the same…!! I will make them taste their own medicine..”Radhika replied..
“How? thats impossible…I understand you…but lets deal Arjun in a different way…He will pay for his deeds..for cheating you”,Piyali sounded to convince Radhika…
“No..!! I have decided….Its my turn now…I will do it..Nothing is impossible for Radhika khanna..!! and You just wait and watch…!I don’t want any hurdles from your side”,this time Radhika sounded high….
After few more discussions the clip went silent.,which later continued with official talks…
—
They fast forwarded till the last convo for that day..and sat thoughtful….
“Its yesterday’s clip isn’t?”,Arjun asked nonchalantly…
“What wrong with Radzzie”,Neil asked annoyed..while Arjun sat smiling….”Arjun..did she behave strange?…don’t get angry man…Plz..I will make her understand…This Piyali aunty….”Neil paused looking Arjun..
“Have you gone mad…you are smiling like a idiot”,he said confused…
“You are idiot Neil!…Now I got..why she spoke about Pistols today…”,Arjun smiled…
“Ah..Piyali aunt is fooling her..”
“Oh really!! why do I feel.,Our naughty one is fooling her mom”,Arjun smiled… “Neil…listen it again….She confutes herself….I know her..”,Arjun got up…
“Arjun..Pls…Are you angry….Rad…”,Neil spoke worried…
“Neill…you think am masking my anger..? NO!! We got the hint man.!! Simple…Now..who will force you to complaint a forgery case against me?…Piyali aunt will keep it on hold…
expecting Radhika to get properties….Not one! Three.!! Radhika indeed tricked,triggering aunt’s desire to acquire wealth…..To capture theirs.,they need me..so…I won’t be harmed..No case..nothing….!! And..chances for them to destroy the proofs for their profit..She may even bring that as a deal to fool them…God.!!Am seriously impressed…! Like Really!! “,Arjun banged the table with happiness…
“She proved it…she is no less to me..!!,”he turned smiling to Neil…
“But its dangerous for her as well”,Neil remarked with a glare..
“Thats y Madam got a thought about her derringer….its has been 4 days….She dint ask what I did with it…Today she is asking..and jumps to 5mm caliber…..God!!..I will get her one..Neil..did you train her in rifle club”,Arjun asked in a serious note…
“Are you both crazy..I mean ..mad couple..”,Neil whined…
“you wont understand Neil…She knew nothing about what Piyali aunt is saying….Still she played on my behalf..Tell me…..What could I do for her??
“So…You will gift her a pistol…Idiot! She already has that in Delhi…I left it with Kavin ,since she was about to marry….but this girl !….got another one here…Don’t turn her as a bandit queen gifting it…”,Neil said irritated…
Arjun sniggered… “Neil…Jealous…!! I will get for you too”
Neil rolled his eyes,smacking Arjun’s arm..
—-
“Radhika…baby…what are you doing?”,Arjun cooed in his mobile…
Neil slapped his forehead…
“Have you lost it…If you are jobless…go..help Neil…don’t trouble me”,she replied annoyed..
“Evening 5..Lets meet”Arjun replied…
“Ok..done…stay safe”,she cut her call…
“She is busy you idiot….she cancelled 2 meetings in a row…and now…Check this one…your account details,which kept us on toes…This one is different from what you gave”.,Neil
scrolled it fast….
Arjun scanned the details.,and turned perturbed…
“It’s not yours isn’t…”,Neil asked hopeful…
He saw only the screenshot of accounts to be shared from Radhika…without the account holders details….which meant.,she got to know it…
“We got it today morning Arjun…We have a sent a person to enquire..”,Neil spoke arranging his stuffs…
Arjun sat completely withdrawn…”Can this be a trap…but why?”,Arjun asked surprising Neil…
