Chapter 29 (Part 2)
“Trap!!…but why to trap you….Arjun…none knew about you….yaar…other than you,who knew you were in BS…”,Neil asked frustrated….but seeing Arjun’s face to turn pale being thoughtful,Neil grew suspicious….
“Well…the one who….knew…ummm…to be precise….who is the reason that,you are here..could be the one!!”,Neil scrutinized his eyes remarking….Arjun’s eyes snapped to look at Neil….Controlling his winning smirk,Neil raised his brows,pursing his lips… Arjun sat speechless….
“Is there anyone like that…?”,Neil dragged his inquire….After a sec..Arjun nodded in negative….
“Good!! Then let’s deal it in our way…just a day…I will get the person”,Neil pushed his chair behind as he got up,his eyes scanning Arjun’s face…Neil messaged to Radhika asking…’got the culprit?’…
Arjun grew anxious listening Neil,”you please don’t interfere…I will speak with Radhika…I will..”
“Tell me Arjun..If this isn’t yours..I need to handle it different…Its Thursday….I will file a…”
“Not necessary…I will discuss with Radhika..But she din’t ask me..”,Arjun rubbed his forehead..
“Anything wrong…We got it today morning…we did sent a person to that branch in Darjeeling..”
“What? why don’t you people ask me?..Dammit..she did the same with Sunshine resorts…”
“Relax Arjun…We too know things….We din’t make it as any enquiry….She values this more than her other properties….More over.,right now..we are handling it…you were in BS..!! Piyali aunty is using that as her weapon…Listen Arjun..the more you are away from BS….”,Neil was cut in the middle..
“What the heck…I did nothing…”,Arjun snapped…
Neil smiled humorless..,”Arjun…You may not prefer to share the reason behind your fake identity..and the need which forced You to work here..but remember one thing…we know you!! You needn’t reveal the person…but.,you should be cautious..!”..
Arjun turned irritated listening that…
“Am not saying,its ‘The person’…may be even they themselves would have been fooled…Try to understand our position…Please don’t try to convince Radzzie….I have a reason for that…. Arjun…I need to share fee things… see…Samrat uncle came to Delhi,and pleaded her to come back…and takeover BS…well..he might have had his own reasons…
but what bothered us for the way he pleaded..as if no tomorrow…the sole reason,she is here is to get BS for Sam.!! I wanted her to stay here.,but she planned different…its just 5 days she was in Mumbai…but 75%of the company’s past and present is with her.!!! If given 2 more days..she would have got more…but she dint step into office after that….only because of her marriage…..if not…”,he paused to look Arjun…and he was listening keen…
“If not,I married her…if not those photos made its way on Wednesday…if not I hurried or was adamant marrying her that Friday..she would have got the person by now…. isn’t.. Neil…well….She would have herself got to know about me…and chances are there for her to take legal actions…but..but…only if I hadn’t married her…so…Marrying her could be my plan…!!hmm….I intervened her steps to save BS”,Arjun said rolling a paper weight with his left…
“Yes!! Yes!! If not you ..your decision to marry her..”,Neil nodded his head in positive…
Arjun heaved exhausted..”So am the reason!!!”…
Neil saw him with a smile..”Situation wins..!!…this could be the reason for her annoyance…!!”
“And cherry on top was those two properties in my dad’s holding company”,Arjun made a annoyed face..
“Ah…no…Arjun…we never knew about those..and I tell you…Grand Duke’s and BS.. are the only things which Radzzie cares for…!,,She won’t mind the rest…even Sam too..!!!
These sisters will go to any extent to clear their doubts….you won’t believe…Sam taunted me as money leecher at one point…”,Neil widened his eyes shockingly saying that…
Arjun smiled a little…”May be they studied same syllabus…”,he winked…”but Neil…Radhika asked about her resort papers to that Agarwal…tell..me…if she doesn’t care..what was the need for….”..
“May be..some thing else..but why resort alone…”,he snapped back..,and gave a knowing smirk..
“Hmmm….ok…ok…still….”
“Yaar..tell me how should I prove you….but you are so dead..when she figures out…”,Neil got up from his seat…
Arjun’s shoulder shook in mirth….”Neil…can someone leave their properties behind…hmmm..may be curiosity…to know what and how..”
“Hey…don’t try to fool me…you dint mean that…!! You meant she suspected.”,Neil fake glared him sitting over the table facing Arjun..
“Situation wins..!!…Neil…bring her to resort…this will be cleared today!”,Arjun leaned back..
Neil saw him intent….”You will lose..I bet you!!”
“I want to…yet with a proof..”,Arjun winked…
“Too mad…I told you…situations are against you!!”
“Neil….somewhere I believed what I meant..”,Arjun gave a helpless look and mouthed Please…
“Hmm…ok…”,Neil slapped his arm..

“Why are we here?”,she asked when Neil parked his vehicle,in Resort’s parking lot..
“Radzzie…isn’t this yours..lets have a look..and…what do”…Neil’s words trailed off.,when she sat on her place,without stepping ahead..
“C’mon Neil…I dont give a damn for this..and its Arjun’s idea isn’t…where is he?”,she rubbed her nape annoyed as she got down..
“Not like that…I asked about this property after discussing with Sarat uncle”,Neil spelt a lie chuckling…
“I know…what you do and don’t”,she strode towards the table where Arjun sat facing sea…
“Whats up with your legal associates…?”,she pulled the chair before him…
“Relax…how is your resort looking…?”,he chuckled with a wink..
She glared him with displeasure…. Leaning towards him,”I don’t care about this property….Did I ask you anything after that Sunday?”,she gritted her teeth..
“You din’t..but you enquired behind my back…Insulting me!”,he averted his gaze to check Neil….
“Oh!! So..its a pay back..Sorry to say.!! It sucks…better save your skin”,she extended her hand for a juice there.,searching Neil…..
He pulled it to himself,”This may be poisoned.!!”,he remarked sharp..
“Okay!! Where is my derringer…else I will get a new one”,she spoke unaffected…
“Why?you wanna kill me? for acquiring your properties”,he gave a nonchalant look sipping that Mango juice…
Narrowing her eyes.,she saw him for few sec before hissing..”Mr.Mehra…Mr..Mehra…”,she sing sang…”How about your Nandu di?”,she smirked and he coughed into his drink…
“You look straight..Means not poisoned”,she pulled the glass from him… “Iam hungry…and you trouble the way you could”,she said irritated and texted Neil…
“Where have you been?”,she whined like a kid.,when Neil came from other side…She walked away with Neil…
“You din’t reply still?”,Neil asked to her…as she stood gazing the sea..
She smiled humorless..”Look…those tides…competition…to hit the shore first..but..once done,they are drawn back to sea…the place they belong to…even after experiencing this backwash for numerous times,why those tides keep on trying to kiss the land first…why can’t the water lay still…to the place where it belongs to…”,she asked with her head tilting a little upwards…
“Philosophy?!!! From when?”,,Neil pulled her to face him…
“I don’t know”,she shook her shoulders nonchalant but tears clouded her vision…Neil saw her helpless….
“He din’t say anything to you..to me…tch”,she looked away…. Sighing heavy she asked.,”What if he leaves me one day?..Guess…I should learn…”
Neil slapped a fake one before she could complete…. “Go..Speak with him…!! Isn’t he your friend?? you wanna give up your love for your dream…? No Radzzie…There is always a way to win without losing…you forgot your own strategy….you both wanna live in despair,for.,that someone to win…”,Neil looked her straight…
“No…I din’t mean that way!..I..Neil…he pretends as though he doesn’t realize things…may be in the process to get things done…I may hurt him…may be too late to repent…”,she said defeated.
“Then leave it…Radzzie listen..!! Forget everything…!! Arjun is not a fool…!! Even now..he is aware of things happening around..yet..he lets to..!! Its a week.,you got married..but see.,what had happened in this mean time…I don’t want anyone to target your relationship….but..what if you spoil in your own? BS is for Sam!! Its my promise! Go…look your life!!
Neil pushed her shoulder and she staggered a little smiling…
“Am I that good?”,she asked..
“Nope…Who said..”,Neil winked side hugging her… “Ah..C’mon..Lets annoy your husband..”,Neil pulled her closer and laughed for no good reason…
“You got mad”,she giggled…He guffawed and whispered..”See…he is burning”,
She pushed him…and walked fast to Arjun….
“Wow!! what a treat!”,Neil exclaimed at the spread.,and picked a plate of Pulav…
“I asked about Bail not food”,she snapped at him…
“I ordered for My friend,Neil..My buddy!”,Arjun smiled wide and Neil saw him surprised…
“You never confessed your love for him”,she sarcastically remarked..
“Oh..I so love your love man.”,Neil moved to another table with two plates…
“Radhika…Mr.Sarat said..not to be hasty…and I am still discussing with him…Pls..have some food..”,He held her hand.,after a complete 10 mins of silence..She neither touched the food nor looked him…
“You are taking us for granted Arjun…I meant Neil.,me.,Sarat uncle… Am troubling everyone…”,She pulled her hand back…
“For my sake!”,he smiled…
“Your sake??,I have no place in your world isn’t….I don’t want your sympathy”,she got up quickly and walked behind Neil…
“Why are you coming with me?”,Neil raised his voice…
She stood in silence with her gaze down….Neil left the place glaring her…she turned her head a little feeling an arm to coil over her shoulders,pulling her close to him…
“Come..”,he said.. she nodded in negative… He quickly asked Atif to take another vehicle…
“Where you want to go?”,he asked.. “How about chasing Neil!”,he winked and picked her up in his arms effortlessly…
“Put me down”,she screamed looking away…
“Say from your heart…I will”,he looked her intent….Resting her head close to his left,she looped her arms around his neck comfortably…
“Do you want to drive”,he asked walking with her in arms….His shoes leaving deep imprints on sand…
“I can’t…and your shoes”,she said…
“Why Jerry…Its your Rover Baby??”,he asked dropping her down..Cleaning sand from his shoes…
“Am…aa…I… Like you driving this…”,she bit her lips.,while he raised his head to see her face…
“I see…!! Ok…What you wanna eat at Neil’s place?…We will call Amar beforehand”,he stood to his height…
“Neil won’t prefer me having there..A small argument between us”,She tried to pull the door open….
“So??…Who is he to order my wife”,Arjun said dramatically…
“Melodramatic”,she pouted…
“You sound too low Jerry…It hurts..!”,he kissed her forehead… “We should speak tonight…Lets solve it…I don’t…”
“Will you?…Promise??”,she pulled back her head to see him..He nodded with a slight smile…
“Only if you fill your tummy”,he tickled her….
———–
Neil jerked and drove to left alerted with car honk irritating him…he had been driving slow pondering on incidents….”Idiot..!”,he muttered with his gaze on rear view mirror…
Next few mins.,they drove furious like that of a race participant’s passion…Arjun couldn’t get a way.,as Neil’s Fortuner blocked his…Every time.,Neil made him lose.,he would double honk his car’s,expressing his enthusiasm…
“Foul play?”,Arjun looked her…
“I don’t want that”,she turned the other side…
“Okay!!”,he cheered high… “I win…Neil feeds you..and you eat till I stop you!”,he decreased his speed..
“Are you mad..!! I said I will…and..”
“Long time…I enjoyed..!”,he went off track…
She smirked…”Neil won’t lose…he will turn you down you see..”
As she expected.,Neil drove chasing every other vehicle.,uncaring Arjun’s vehicle’s track..
“You thought he too will slow down??”,she mocked chuckling..
“Strategy no 3….’cause you will be scared if I use the second one…”,he winked calling Atif… “Atif…how’s the game?…ok…we need to win!..C’mon…Go ahead!”,he said..
and next sec..Atif over took their vehicle..and Arjun followed in suit…the duos’ cars were behind Neil after chasing every other one on their way…, Neil noticed Arjun struggling to win over another car…Unaware that it was Atif driving,Neil gave way to the other one..quickly blocking Arjun’s….but now..the other car,treated Neil the same way….The highway was about end,and they were getting close to city.,Arjun drove through wrong side.,and quickly slid to the left before any vehicle could reach them…Atif covering the front slowed down giving way for Arjun…
“This is cheating”,Radhika yelled..
“Let Neil say this..”,Arjun accelerated to Neil’s place.
“You are insane..to head on wrong side…what if any container lorry comes..what would…”
“They would be scared seeing ours..because we were on wrong way….Learn this..!!”,He said on a serious note…
____________
“Superb…58 secs..you drove in wrong way..but Arjun..that fellow surprised me with his timely stunt….He drove to right,turning down the speed…Ah..that’s where I got doubt,if to overtake…you got a exact devil brain for you”.Neil spoke smiling and Radhika glared him…
“Don’t call him devil..he is your idiotic twin’s fav…And Neil…what’s wrong with you both?,Arjun smacked his arm… “Now that I won…you gonna feed her…and I will relish my food”
“You are angry on me”,she asked sullen…
“Yes!! I told you not to insult him…I repeat..don’t hurt your loved ones…He is equally calculative like us..a step ahead…then why do you fear?”,Neil asked as he took a ladle of
biryani from the buffet section.,getting done for dinner…
“Chole bhature”,she said looking Amar… “No…”,Neil said sharp…She saw Arjun to be deeply engrossed in tasting Thai cuisine the other side… A Chef was explaining
pointing each dishes…
“Don’t you have an ounce of shame…Am starving here…and you”,she hissed to him..,while Arjun stood leaning to her height…
“So keen to listen a taunt..”,Neil came behind mocking…
“Yaar..Give me peace..why don’t you get her what she wants..”.Arjun fake glared Neil…
“C’mon…Am the owner of this hotel..don’t treat me a like a helper….You.. Mad couple…get a asylum soon”.,Neil kept the plate down…
“Arjun…I feel yuck looking these…don’t eat it”,she pulled down his plate and Neil smothered his laughter….
“Radhika…too bad!! and what you want”,Arjun asked annoyed..
“Chole bhature”,she said with happiness twinkling in eyes…
He silenced Neil with a glare…Neil pouted like a angry kid,feeding her…”Smile..else I will call Arjun!”,she winked chewing her food…
Neil laughed…”Radzzie…whats wrong….you are eating a lot now…If only you had ate like this.,yesterday you wouldn’t have fainted”,he pushed a spoonful of Paneer Pulav in her mouth….”You still behave like a kid….You make me feed you when we fight…now…this Arjun is no less…”,Neil continued…”Radzzie….look..he is rooting for Indian dishes…Just for one word you said…!! Don’t hurt him…!! ..Go…don’t lose him again…!! Hear your friend for one more time…!!!”..Neil saw her with a smile,and she hugged him the next second…
“Why does it always happen with me..”..
“Never again..!! Who is the culprit..?”,Neil asked looking Arjun.,who was choosing dishes listening to Amar…
“What’s the use…why BS is my question.”,she asked back….
“So…you too won’t say….ok…”,he moved with that….”its past 7….and why aren’t you meeting Sam…”,he asked sharp…
“Neil…pls…we are in touch…texting…”,she tried to move away..
“You are hurting yourself..”.he caught her wrist…
“She should be strong Neil…not like me..!! A emotio..”,her voice choked…
“I see…Okay..who hurt Faizal?”,Neil asked immediately…
She looked him shocked wiping her tears..”I din’t..Why you suspect me? Ask Arjun?”…
“Now where did he come from?”,Neil glared her…”Listen! I told you..I will handle….You forgot my words??!! What if he targets someone for you….what if its Sam?”,he raised his finger to her forehead.. “Use this brain of yours..I don’t want anything to repeat..!! Sam is not like you”..
“Neil…How will I do without informing you all”,she sobbed…
“Whats happening here?”,Arjun came with food… He saw her tears and Neil..”Listen..we know to solve our problem..no need to be harsh with her…old strategy man!”,Arjun said annoyed….
“Ask her..what she did with Faizal??….he is a moron,Arjun!..Pls..”
“Thats not her! I told you”,Arjun replied crisp..
“Why aren’t you trusting me”,her voice sounded broken..pained…
“Did you trust anyone of us…Me?..Prakash?..Kavin..anyone ?..No!! Now..Arjun…again No!! you don’t want to share your pain..and Me..a big no!! have you ever shared something Radzzie…Even now..even now….I had been madly working for past 8 hrs with your works….still..you aren’t ready say a word about the so called person….It won’t take a minute for me to get know things..but I wanna stay in my limits…Thats the reason.!”….”and whom are you both trying to save…..Arjun isn’t a kid,Radzzie…to have him with us 24*7… and Arjun.!.your wife isn’t that smart as you think..she is one emotional fool….”,Neil threw away the spoon in anger….
“I never want you to be a loser! did you get that?,he gritted his teeth,before turning around…Amar came with a tray of desserts..”If you so love to be a catering helper..lemme give you the job”,Neil remarked sarcastic shocking Amar..
“Hey..that’s rude…you did ask him to do yesterday”,Arjun came to Amar’s rescue.,but was surprised with Neil’s glare at him..
“I don’t want anything”,she moved aside..
“Wait..!! I won’t ask the culprit’s name in return”,Neil said with his eyes fixed on Arjun….Arjun looked everywhere around….”2 days for you both..! solve the way you could..Else..it will be my way!!…”,Neil glared them..
Arjun blinked thoughtful….”Buddy!! I said about the company!”,he smirked with a wink….
________
“Now a days..you cry a lot”,he said driving….. “Instead of crying,think why he got angry”,he shook his head at her nature…
“He wants to know why you are here..on whom’s insistence….do you want me to say?”,she snapped him back…
“I guess..you got…leave it”,the vehicle gained its speed the next second…
She looked away as her icecream melted… “Eat it..”he remarked sharp..
“why you always wann”…
“Don’t spoil the car”,he snapped the next second…
“Your car….for your sake…your life…at your risk…what else you have..to clearly make me understand that Am not in your life”,she pulled window switch and threw icecream away..
“Did I say so?”,he sounded low…
“That;s the difference…you don’t say things..like me”,she closed her eyes resting herself comfortably…
“Are you gonna cry again”,he asked cold…
“Nope..”,she gulped her tears…

“You look dull”,Nandhini asked as Radhika crossed the wide hall to get on stairs…
“Yeah..work!!”,she replied sullen…
“Some problems in her company”,Arjun remarked coldly standing in doorway…Radhika ascended without a backward glance…
“Why.? what happened?”,Nandhini asked anxious…
“No idea….hope we should wait till her dad comes back”,he lied walking leisurely towards the steps… “We had dinner…”,he mumbled..
She stood tapping her legs before her room.. “Pls…Open your room”,she remarked sarcastic…
Once inside.,she pulled him to face her… “Stop behaving sweet…Am scared Arjun!! I know you..!! Its been 5 days…Scold me…Slap me…anything…Just vent out your anger..but don’t lie you aren’t…I am fed up waiting…”,she saw his face…
