Chapter 32 (Part 2)
“Missing my Jerry..!! Naughty one…!! What happened suddenly….!! My wife is my strength…,”he kissed her forehead and hugged him more….
His mobile vibrated with Neil’s name…
“Be yourself!…don’t tame your anger..lets face it together!! Okay?!! I love my Jerry’s stubbornness…”,he tickled her…and she moaned annoyed,though her forehead creased a little hearing him…Her giggles made him to smile wide when he continued tickling her…
“Kajal smeared..!!”,he said as he opened door…
Sam came rushing but slowed down looking them….
“The cameras are hampered…it’s pre planned..,I got the main entrance footage…Di…why did you let them inside the cabin,in first place…?”,Sam asked.,once they got inside the cabin…
“They just came…!! I dint expect…only clients were my guess”,Radhika avoided a eye contact with them..
“Did they have any papers….or something to get your sign?.”,Arjun asked…
“Actually..mom argued…!!they had no chance to comeup with their decision..”,Radhika replied resentful…
“Good that Mom came to office today…!!”,Sam said to herself..
“Yes…I asked her not to come..expecting POA in my name…”,Radhika pulled a tissue,and Sam helped her in cleaning her smeared kajal…
“Sam…take care of the work here… I will speak with Neil and aunty..!! You will have my guards here…just avoid Amit…call me or Neil for any query…not your sister…,She will drain your energy too”,he chuckled after his robotic orders and Sam smiled wide..
“Oh really!! I saw someone to stay fascinated,reading my di’s documents..”,Sam hugged Radhika…”He is crazy on you…he brings your name in every topic,.”,Sam whispered in her ears and she smiled a little….
Arjun pretended to lend his ear….
“He is our boss now”,Radhika winked..and Arjun gave her a irritated look..
Sam with a understanding smile replied,”I dint get him wrong di…”…
She immediately hugged Sam thanking her….He saw Radhika to pat Sam’s back mumbling something very low….
Clearing his throat,”I will be waiting downstairs…Prena aunt wants to meet us it seems…See you Samaira..!!”,he was about to turn..,when Sam called him..
“Happy first week anniversary Jiju….di has a a habit of celeb….”
“I know…!! I guess I gave her the best gift….!! “He cut her words with a smile..but the girls blinked in confusion listening him…
“Samaira..,Once I get to know the details,the hold will be straight away transferred to your name..and…from now on.,every decision in BS,will be in need of your approval….”,he said with a grim smile…
“I never asked this…”,Radhika mumbled…
“But…I …”,Sam rolled her eyes unable to continue further..
“We are there to guide,isn’t…”,he smiled…
“But…di has equal rights…I want…”,Sam’s words were cut in…
“Just because am easy going,you shouldn’t take my words for granted…I know what I should do for my wife…!! Is that clear..?!”,his words turned stoic just like his face… “I will be waiting…”,he swiftly turned around punching numbers in his mobile…
“Neil…what’s up…documents?..”,he asked irritated…
“Sarat uncle is way stubborn,Man..!! They need you to take over but aren’t ready to share the docs…Mom scolded me for pressuring Uncle…!! Am on the way to my hotel..come soon…”,Neil replied equally irritated as he drove…
“Oh…!! Ok..”,Arjun disconnected the call…Briefing about Sam’s position to Teji, he asked him to pass infos about office happenings,every now and then… Atif came lamenting about the missing cabin footage…
“Sir….I have done the needful…Samaria ma’am will be safe.”,he nodded before he took stairs…
“Arjun..wait…”,Radhika came in slow jog when he was about to step inside the elevator..
“You are too short tempered…”,she murmured once the lift doors closed….
“You dint say a word about my gift…”,he leaned to his right glancing her,tilting his head to left….
She smiled…..”That was honestly a surprise…!! Thanks a lot…for trusting Sam….”…
“What about your gift…you promised today morning..”,he winked….
“You are impossible…”,she chortled…”I lost my company hold to you..and we are…”,she laughed a little…
“We need to find if its actually lost or shared..”,he gave a sharp nod before stepping out…
—
“Let’s go home straight away…after meeting aunty…you said.,you will be at home by 4 o clock…”,his eyes fixed on last dark circular LED light to turn green..
She smiled leaning over the dashboard…,he chuckled winking at her…
“Am lucky to have you…”,her lips parted when he pecked her forehead suddenly…
“Why Prena maa wants to meet us?…”,she asked..
“I asked for the documents…we need to find loopholes in it….”,he patted her head..before tuning the vehicle to his speed…
“Why are they secretive…..”,She asked to his face..
He drove in silence checking for Atif’s vehicle behind them…His lips curled downwards,as he shook his head…
—
Royal residency…
“This is where I met your dad…to get permission for our marrige..”,he smiled brightly,opening Samrat’s suit room…
“Hey…I have ordered lunch for you both…have it…mom will be coming soon…”,Neil spoke fast standing in door way.
“Get in…!! Don’t pretend!…I know..you too doesn’t want me to get those documents..”,she made a face…
“What??!!..”Arjun and Neil asked confused…
“Yes…!! I did ask you last week…isn’t…and..”,her words trailed off watching Arjun to glare her…
“I asked him not to make a move in this matter..”,Arjun intervened…”because..I want to know..,what is that actual problem in your company.,that indirectly binds us..”,his voice came a bit sharp…
She looked them back to back….”Explanation please.!!..”,she said annoyed which irritated Arjun…
“Radzzie….take it slow….”,Neil took a step toward her..
“You don’t interfere…Neil !..the issue isn’t any simple to deal,slowly…its my company…and…this is why I demanded POA on me…”,she huffed…
“You still dint seem to have analyzed,your opponent’s power!… This morning this hotel had fake raid…and me?!…I got a fake call about a death of a worker in my resort….exactly the same time.,your cabin was filled with persons…did you Bother to inform us?…tell me…why should we be distracted when you are someone’s sole target?…”,Arjun’s growled low gritting his teeth….
“Arjun..please….she will be little playful with me..that’s it….”,Neil gave a side hug…
“Playful..?! Then she shouldn’t be in business at all!…you need to stay like hawk…not like this…!! Even for fun..I shouldn’t hear those,against Neil..”,he said more like a warning…
“Am not your toy…you suddenly behave different…what has got into you…”,she asked worried…
“Radzzie….calm down…Arjun!…please…you know about her…”,Neil walked away as he received a call…
Atif came with a food tray…
“Sir..May I…”,he asked before serving himself in a small plate..
“That’s not necessary…this is our place..”,she said when Atif tasted every dish on his plate…
“Its our duty Ma’am..Senior Mehra’s order…”,Atif gave a respectful nod before he moved away…
..
“ARM is highly secured to be harmed…still you are worried for my safety…”,he pulled her but she walked away…
“If you are angry..you could express it…Am not a weakling,that you mask it with your sweetness..”,her lips thinned in unease…
“My tigereess is angry..”,he got on his feet…. “but Tom is hung…ryy..”,he leaped and caught hold of her…
“Your lethargic actions and irrelevant talks are the reason…don’t blame me!…we guys are unnecessarily being troubled by this…still you dont trust Neil…that’s bad…”,he walked holding her before him…
“I trust Neil.! He too know it…Don’t try your tricks here..”,she tried to shove away his hold…”Ah…You force me to walk..”,she refused to move and he smiled…
“You make me to….Jerry..you are testing our patience….!! When will you realize it….,”,he got her on his lap and fed her a spoon of pulav…”Words are more powerful,…you should think twice…”,He paused when she turned herself to face him…
“You behave like bipolar..you scold before…”
“Only I have the right to….I claim before anyone could…and what you said was,ridiculous!..don’t think that we can’t guess your tactics…”,his brows raised for a mock..
“Huh….still..!! You taunted me…too much..,today..you scolded me twice..no thrice…!!”,her eyes widened as she mentioned it clearly..
“You did a mistake..I made you.rea..lijjjj..”,he munched his food,placing food tray on her lap….
After eating few spoons,he extended to her and she grabbed it that instant…
“Everything is your favorite”,he said chewing his morsel…
“You get annoyed with me often…”,she picked a spoon to feed herself…
“I said the reason…”,he picked the dessert…
“Did dad say anything about me…when you…..”,she gave him a side eyed look…
He sat leaning back.,gazing her…”Finish it..I will say”,his right hovered over her shoulder…..
“Finished..!!”,she licked her lips….”Arjun…I will gradually change myself….”,she said after few secs…He gave a appreciative look…”I get into problems only when I don’t listen you….so…I will….”,she glanced his features…. He mimicked her reactions…
“Umm….You said the same during your final year too”,he raised his brows…
Her lips curled downwards,…. “Arjun…”,she whined…
“Yea…!!”,he pulled her cheek…as he slid her down next to him…
With a decision of revealing her dad’s words,he walked towards Samrat’s table….Pulling the draw open,he searched for the photo frame Samrat showed him..but his eyes almost froze looking the papers over there…His eyes quickly snapped for a look before him,and he was relieved with his view,of His wife busy texting in her mobile…
His right sneaked to the papers,as his eyes scanned her and the papers time and again..It was the same POA papers he thought he signed…but it had neither his or Samrat’s signatures…!!He checked the papers again…He glanced above listening a knock..
“Peri….”,Radhika squealed as she hugged Prena…
Neil understood looking Arjun…!! Arjun gestured about papers… Neil nodded slightly before texting..
-this is why I asked you read the document before signing…!! Now..Ask my mom —
Prena’s smile faded a little watching Arjun to rub his forehead…
“Radhu…why did you plan something like that”,Prena asked and Radhika stuttered to reply….
Arjun’s gaze turned sharp on Prena when she reprimanded Radhika…
“Lets deal that later…tell me something…do you have those POA documents…”,Arjun asked plastering both of his palms on that mahagony table leaning forward..
“Yes..Sarat has it..I was about…”,
“I want to see it now…”,he said gritting his teeth…
“You signed it…then what for…”
“Nonsense..!! What the hell you people thought about me…I was silent only because,you were all my dad’s friends and that doesn’t mean you can fool me around…I need the papers now..!!”,his left landed heavy over the table..
“Aru…!!”,prena raised her voice…
“Arjun!! Its Arjun from now… I trusted you both…and here..(he pulled the docs) this is what I prepared for BS…where is actual document?…and what’s there in it…Her dad cornered me with her name…!! Just for my marriage…!! “,his eyes turned displeased…
“Mom..why aren’t you….”,Neil stopped abruptly when Perna glared him…
Radhika walked towards Arjun and read the document he threw there….
“So you dint read while signing..,”,prena asked mocking..
“I prepared…so I din’t find a need to give a read…leave that…Papers now..!!,”,he came back to square one..
“Aru…you won’t get it until you behave yourself”,Prena averted her gaze…
Arjun smirked….”That’s interesting..!! I will make the actual need of that contract worthless!! R&R isn’t charitable to support Khanna’s properties..!! I will make a worst move…”,he threatened with a sharp glare…
“You can’t decide for your dad’s company”,Prena infuriated him..
Neil took a step behind Prena and signaled Arjun not to argue…
“Radzzie….those papers are useless.. why are you reading it…I was there when Arjun signed….that day..before your marriage…!! We both had a argument…Arjun signed without reading the doc…”,Neil sauntered towards her..
Prena smirked as she turned around to leave…Radhika stood dumbfounded listening them….
“Arjun…keep the papers back in uncle’s table”,Neil gestured towards his 3 raised fingers that tapped the table..
Arjun pulled the third drawer..and snapped a look at Neil…Neil nodded before he pretended to leave the place..
“We have a photo instead of useful documents..”,Arjun faked annoyance with his eyes on Prena…Neil smiled when Prena halted on her tracks…
Arjun’s facade to pull that photo frame alerted Prena and She spoke like a announcement…”Radhu…I came here to speak something important…Aru….you will get your document today…”,she continued only as a attempt to divert him…
“Okay…”,he took the frame in his hand…
“I will give you now….Neil.!! Ask Aman to pick that blue folder from my car..”,Prena pretended to be unaffected..
Arjun saw Radhika still to be dazed facing Prena with her back to him…Once Neil walked out,Arjun kept the frame inside…
“Radhika…!!.what’s wrong with you now…”,he asked annoyed…”lets see…what is in store for us…but Aunty…I should really appreciate you people for utilizing the moment….”,Arjun remarked cynically….
“Have a watch on your words Aru…Neil never raised his voice to me”,Prena said with a pride… “Just try to figure out the reason…why we were forced to do it. and why….”,
Radhika’s eyes flapped at that….
“Manipulating me?!!”,Arjun mocked in turn
“What’s the document is all about….”,Radhika asked..
“I was about to say that….Radhu….I thought you may get Arjun wrong.,if you get the papers….He has nothing to do in it..”,Prena spoke calm…
“Your dad asked me to take in charge of BS for a month.,only because you turned down his request….later he came up with an idea of having Neil along with you…that’s when I met him regarding our marriage…I made 2 POA docs…one on my name..another..,you and Neil….I asked yours to register….!! While mine will be in effect being unregistered,only to fool that so called unidentified rival,you are running behind….!! But…I would say Uncle cheated me…!! That day…he raised a word about trust and I signed with out giving the papers,a read…”,Arjun sighed dejected…..
“Until I got these papers here…the one I prepared for me…I believed,I signed those…!!”,Arjun explained…
Radhika looked him astonished…!! He had been explaining when there was no fault on his side…
“Mom…!! This has resort details…but we asked for Arjun’s…”,Neil extended the folder he got,to Arjun surprising Prena….
“So..you won’t share the document”,Arjun asked sharp..
“Radhu…Arjun is the entitled owner of everything related to your properties….That’s what he had signed …we won’t give you the papers Arjun….!! You will find a way to transfer it back to her..”,Prena sat on that couch….
Radhika looked her bothered….
“How is that possible?….”,Neil asked after a minute regaining himself from the shock…
“It’s possible…!! I should have guessed..”,Arjun shook his head annoyed….snapping his right digits,while left tapped his thigh,his lips twitched a little…”do you think…you can bind me with just one sign of mine…”,he asked…
Prena ignored him,”Radhu..read the resort docs…you will get to know that Arjun isn’t any way responsible for….”,her words were cut in..
“Excuse me..!! Who said we had misunderstanding over this property….btw….thanks for the resort papers..”..Arjun smirked arrogant…Turning to Radhika.,”You don’t worry.,what if
I had signed…I know how to tackle this..”,Arjun held her shoulder..
“What you think you could do.,Arjun?”,Prena asked after a moment of furious thinking…
“Mom..Please…Why cant we know what is happening around..”,Neil faked a plead..
“Good acting Neil.,but situation din’t favor you”,Prena smiled…
Arjun turned to her side..”You want us to be puppets?!! I don’t think any mother would prefer her child to be??..”
“Arjun.!!!..”,Radhika held his wrist…
“Why..I feel to be trapped by my loved ones…I did reject this idea when uncle shared with me…”,Arjun pulled his hand from her hold…
“Why do you all exaggerate it now.,Once Samrat returns,things will be back to normal…and Arjun!..when Radhu understands you.,whats your problem in having the hold?”,Prena
placed a logical query…
“Simple!! I don’t want it…Its a rejected offer from my side…”,Arjun shrugged his shoulders..
“But this will favor Radhika”,Prena tried to get his point…
Neil saw his mom unblinking…For the first time on that day,after those confused moments.,he started to think the other way as Prena said…
“I can make it.,even without this..”,Arjun said calm and composed….Radhika smiled a second later.,she walked across the cabin in silence…
“Radzzie…Arjun is not at fault..”,Neil repeated again…
Arjun’s lips curled up for a pleasant smile listening Neil.,his worry about their relationship…He once again proved he is more than a best friend…
—
“Mom.,will you accept if you were in Arjun’s place?”,Neil asked assuring that Radhika got into elevator…
“I would…if it favors my love..,my life I would..”,Prena threw a proud glare at Arjun…Arjun sat before her…
“And that’s the difference between every other person and ME…Aunty!…even this moment I can take Radhika away from this mess…and within next month I can buy this same hotel in my style…”,he leaned back smirking…
Neil’s face lost its color while Prena felt highly disappointed with his behaviour…
“I knew why you advised me about morals and values…Lemme make it clear..I knew that was a lie…! What you said…Still…I played along…”,his mock look confused Neil and Prena…
“Samrat uncle isn’t any fool to transfer his entire property under my hold…But that Particular document has the answer for our search..I mean…Radhika’s and mine..”,he looked her sharp..
“Yours?”,Prena’s brows furrowed…
“Aunty..Aunty…Good acting..But situation dint favor you”,Arjun winked to Neil….”Only truth can get the truth from me…Is this any game for Nandhu di?….”,his eyes turned cold at that…
“Aru…no..you got us wrong..”,Prena’s voice came in a hurry…
Arjun raised his palm…”Whats left ?!!…I read the documents even if my dad gives it….(he shook his head..) just convey to uncle that Am highly disappointed…I will continue in BS..but he shouldn’t contact me any further”,his voice expressed his rage..
Neil sat next to Arjun…

Radhika moved towards sit out in that hotel.,facing the small garden….without giving a look to her mobile screen.,she picked a call…”Hellooo…Madam…”,a gruff male voice alerted her…
“Who is this?”,she replied irritated but was disappointed with the number displayed….Her eyes squeezed shut as she tried to remember the person…
“Its just a week I left India and you got married…Tch..tch…thats too fast..!!..”,he chuckled… “Radhu…!! My darlingg…”,he dragged…
“Shut up..”
“Wow..My Furious doll…Now that you are here in Mumbai…Lets finish the unfinished…”,he whispered those last words…
“What nonsense?..”,she spoke through her teeth.,looking around..
“Chillax baby…!! I was indeed waiting for you to land here..My bad luck I left a day before you came Mumbai..But…I was dumbstruck when I heard you married your office employee..but No..!! you brought one of the known business giant down to your feet…Of course…Your beauty!…your intelligence!…Even a fool can’t ignore.,then how he would…”,his voice turned rasping..
“Puneet..!!”,she called with raising temper…
“Ah…My name sounds sweet when you say…..”,he chuckled disgusting…
“Bastard…this time…”,her fingers curled up to fist..
“Dont call your future husband with names…”,he guffawed… “Its your choice Radhu…To let Arjun alive or not..!!”,his voice turned cold
“Dare you..!! I will rip your skin if you dare to utter it again…You were never in my life and will be never…Get it clear..Don’t make me to play worse..”,she closed her eyes to control herself…
“Am honestly jealous on that fellow now…So much love.!!”,he mocked…”Playing worse…?!! Lets play..but on my bed…and what was that…I wasn’t in your life..??..Tell me…you din’t think about me when you started for Mumbai…”,he asked..
“I did…And I brought a gift for you…It stays loaded…The bullets are too eager to pierce your body..Puneet!….You will pay for your dad’s deeds..”,her words fail to mask her anger..
“Am..am surprised…!! Open threat..!! So courageous…Love you Radhika…”,he said happily…
“Radhika Arjun Mehra.!! Shut your nasty ditch before I decide to get you down today…”,she hung the call…
Her breath turned hard as she rested back in the couch…A tray with hot drinks caught her attention and she walked towards elite bar without second thoughts…Having Done with a couple of shots.,she turned around to see Aman standing few steps away from her…”Neil sir gave this”,he extended a set of keys…
A sudden commotion in ground floor corridor made him to rush and Radhika made her way to Neil’s vehicle…Her thoughts only about Arjun…the situations that makes them apart…His smile…His newly found patience..for her..only for her!!
She drove towards the outskirts of city…

“Sir…”,Aman disturbed the trio again…
“Radhika ma’am was in bar half an hour back….”,he said meekly…
“After handling today’s super shock situations.,she would definitely hit there…I knew it..was she over drunk?”,Neil asked unaffected…
“What…Radhu has this habit?”,Prena asked surprised..
“Stress..”,Neil made a face..
Arjun got up immediately…”why din’t you inform then?”,he grabbed his mobile …
“Sir..Ma’am was all okay…I thought to inform…”,
“Arjun.!.Our guards are with her…Relax…she isn’t that careless”,Neil tried to calm him dowm..
Arjun walked off with out replying…”Neil…when did you get to know about this document.?..”,Arjun asked..
“Yesterday night…Thats the reason I argued with mom”,Neil walked along with him….
—-
Arjun’s residence..
Rana was too shocked to see Radhika there..Arjun had already informed them he will leave to his apartments that day..
“Ajju…told…”
“Sshh…”,Radhika was about to walk but sniffed like a dog the next second… “Drinks..Alcohol…You drink kaka?”,she pouted..
“No…”,Rana closed his mouth..
She tittered at that…”Little kaka..!! Why?…”,she took her steps hunching forwards….Rolling her eyes.,she scanned the floor,with scattered glass pieces..”Who drinks in this house?”,her brows furrowed in suspicion at the sight of the broken alcohol bottle lying on floor…
“I will drink at times..”,Rana said with a fake sheepish grin…
She returned the same…”Heheehee….I believed…”..Her lips curled up…”So..its my Arjun’s beloved Nandhu di”,she sing sang..
She smiled wide after her moment of surprise got washed over.,finding Nandhini to empty a glass.,licking her lips..
“Is it too sweet”,she asked like a kid.,while Nandhini looked her shocked…
