One shot

Guys, there’s another one shot….dont know how it is…I know you asked me to write one on nesam as well…sorryyy….i don’t know why but as soon as anything comes in mind all I think about is ardhika…well, will write one on nesam sometime, hopefully.
Please let me know how was it…..rotten eggs and tomatoes accepted wholeheartedly.
Please ignore my typos and grammatical errors…as I never proof read anything 😛

It doesn’t do to feel guilty about something, yet do absolutely nothing about it.
………………………………………………………………………….
“No.” screamed a female voice…., “this is the sixth night you are coming back late….this is so not done..”
“not this again please….i had meeting and it went on late…..why don’t you understand?” he let out an exasperated sigh….

Radhika picked up her pillow and let the room all annoyed……arjun just looked on and let out another sigh…
His pov, “radhika, I know you want to spend more time with me….i know there are things you want to say to me but you restrain yourself because of my absence….but what to do, I have this job with meetings scheduled all the time…..i am sorry, my love..”

Radhika went to sleep in the guest room….as soon as her head hit the pillow, the tears started to flow continuously…..her pov, “arjun….i know you are busy….you are the ceo of a successful company….but I too manage two companies of my own….yet I find time to spend with you…..why cant you just take an hour off your schedule to spend with me? It isn’t a lot to ask…is it? Considering that I am your wife…”
Radhika cried herself to sleep……it was past midnight, arjun couldn’t sleep….he kept feeling guilty of hurting his wife, the only woman he ever loved. He could understand that what she was asking for was justified but he wanted her to understand his position as well….

Arjun slowly pushed open the door of the guest room…he moved forward and sat on the bed besides radhika’s sleeping form…..she was shivering…he covered her with a blanket….he kissed her forehead….he saw her tear strained cheeks…he felt disgusted with himself for making the pure soul cry….she was a perfect wife….a shrewd event manager…..a wonderful advertiser……a marvelous business woman….and yet in midst of all this, it seemed as if all her time was his.
She still shivered so, arjun removed his shirt and wrapped it around her shoulders. Still, it made no difference, so he wrapped himself around her….she moved a little and made herself comfortable with her head buried in his chest….and his arms cocooning her.

The couple had loved….lots and lots of love…they loved each other more than anything else….what lacked was time and communication…
When radhika opened her eyes the next morning, she was peacefully, cradled in arjun’s arms……he was in deep slumber, smiling as he slept…..she was happy….it was the start she wanted each day of hers to have….she ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek. He woke up, smiling…, “good morning radhika!”
She just kissed his cheek again…., “now, get ready….go to office….but please be back by 8….”
Arjun nodded….she looked at him with big earnest eyes, “promise?”
He kissed her forehead and spoke against her skin, “promise..”

Both radhika and arjun got up from bed, got ready and left for their respective offices….
But the same story happened that night as well……radhika’s eyes welled up on seeing the clock, it was 10 and arjun had promised to be back by 8…..
She just grabbed her purse and over coat…left their apartment after scribbling a little note for him.
She moved to one of the bars…she used to hang out in college…..she sat drinking cola on the bar stool next to the counter….when a girl came and sat on the stool next to hers…she ordered the same drink as hers….her voice sounded familiar to radhika…but just couldn’t place it…..
Radhika squealed in delight as soon as she saw that girl’s face, “sam!!!!!!!”
Sam too jumped up and down excited, “chashni!!!!”

They were both college bestfriends…but had been out of touch recently….but as we say, we are all adults and maybe remain out of touch for long durations of time…but you will find me in front of u the second you need me. Well, it was even true for radhika and sam….it wasn’t a coincidence for radhika to bump into sam the night she needed her the most. Both the girls hugged it each other tight…
Radhika, “how have you been? Didn’t know that you still came to this bar..”
Sam smiled, “been great yaar….well, surprisingly even you do…..so hows arjun?”
Radhika smiled a sad one, “he is fine…”
Sam understood that something was amiss, “whats wrong radhika?”
Radhika told her the entire issue about arjun not having enough time for her. Sam was worried for her friend but didn’t show it on her face, “radhika…don’t you worry….just give him some silent treatment….he loves you a lot and will surely understand..”

Radhika smiled, “Sammy jaan….that’s the entire issue….he understands but doesn’t do anything about it….either he is helpless or *she added silently* he doesn’t want to.”
Sam thought for a second, “radhu…..well, its time to teach him a lesson rasam style!”
Radhika smile…she and sam were the biggest pranksters of the college and always had a number of tricks up their sleeves….they were the sort of people who made a lot of friends and were always the center of everything.
Radhika smiled, “but lets not be too harsh on him…okay?”

Sam teased her, “ohhh, so that’s Mrs. Radhika Arjun Mehra speaking…your wish is my command, my lady.”
Both the girls laughed….after a little chit chat radhika asked sam about the plan…sam smiled, “lets just have some fun tonight…and we’ll discuss the plan in detail tomorrow…..and yes, by the way, you aren’t going back home tonight….we’ll go to my apartment.”
Radhika looked skeptical, “arjun will worry…”
Sam was adamant, “then let him….because he deserves it.”
Saying so sam took radhika’s phone from her…she wanted arjun to suffer for making her soul sister cry.
Radhika and sam did shots and danced like there was no tomorrow…they were having the time of their lives…

Arjun entered his apartment with a bouquet of roses in his hand…..he knew that radhika would be upset……he found the main door locked….he found it strange but thought that maybe radhika fell asleep waiting for him…he opened the door with his key. He looked for her in the entire apartment…….he was worried as to where would have she gone such late at night without even informing him….finally, his eyes fell on the note passed on the back of the door….
Arjun slapped his forehead for his such amazing observation skills….he pulled the note up from the door. It said, “arjun, I am going out….will be late…don’t wait for me….
p.s. atleast I have the courtesy to tell you, so that you don’t keep waiting for me to come.
Radhika.”
Arjun instantly fell guilty…..he had kept radhika waiting and she had gone out in frustration….his heart urged him to go out and look for her…but his mind told him to wait for her…what if she comes back while you were out looking for her…..she would think that you didn’t come back till then…it would hurt her even more…
He found his mind’s voice to be more logical…so he crashed on the sofa…loosening his tie…knowing it will be long night.
It was morning, the sun had conquered the sky again….his glancing rays waking up arjun. He didn’t know, when he fell asleep waiting for radhika. He looked around…it was strange that she still hadn’t come back…arjun tried her number, all worried….it was switched off….which only increased his desperation.
While on the other hand….radhika was happily snoring in sam’s apartment…..finally sam came and woke her up, “you still are a little sleeping elephant…huh? ….come on, breakfast is ready.”
Radhika opened her left eyes up a slit on the word breakfast…..she rubbed her belly, licking her lips…..both the girls burst out laughing……radhika freshened up and the girls had a hearty breakfast…
Radhika, “so what’s the plan?”
Sam smiled wickedly, “lets make arjun jealous…”
Radhika looked confused, “why and how do you proposed to do it?”
Sam smiled, “arrey budhu…when he sees you with another man, only then will he realize his love for you…and start giving you more of his time.”
Radhika smiled, “good….and you’ll be the other man?”
Sam giggled, “obviously not….you remember neil?”
Radhika thought for a second, “neil…as in neil malhotra? The guy who used to be in the same college as ours….that friendly guy……he was nice yaar”

Sam smiled, “yeah….and I am still in touch with him…moreover, have called him here now…he is the other guy..”
Radhika smiled as the door bell rang…..neil entered…all handsome with his signature cute dimpled smile….he hugged both radhika and sam…..sam briefed him on their plan…and neil willingly agreed, “anything for radhika..”
Radhika smiled, “Sammy, I must say I am proud of your choice….he certainly will burn arjun to the ground.”
Neil smiled and teased her, “radhu remember, only for show…don’t fall for me….i know, I can be too hard to resist.” He winked at her…
Both radhika and sam burst out laughing..
After a while, radhika was leaving for home….when sam asked neil to drop her, “arjun will be at the apartment waiting for you…and when he sees you getting down from neil’s car…he’ll be angry….and when he asks you questions…just shrug him off…okay?” sam gave her the rest of the instructions…..both raneil where quiet impressed with sam’s brain….
Neil even complimented her, “well, I must say sam…you give commendable advice for someone who herself is single…”
Sam played with him, “what makes you think I am single?”

Neil gave his signature smile, “well, you didn’t get me….so yeah…”
Radhika mouthed, “flirt” from behind his back and sam smiled.
While, it went according to sam’s plan….it was perfect….arjun’s husbandly instincts clicked in when he saw radhika getting down from neil’s car….and his anger reached seventh heaven when he saw her hugging him.
He was pacing left and right in the room when radhika opened the lock with her key and entered…..
Arjun moved forward and grabbed her wrist, “Where were you?”
Radhika avoided looking his eyes, “out with friends.”

Arjun looked at her…pushing up her chin with his finger, “do you have any idea how worried was i?”
Radhika jerked off his hand, “I told you not to wait….so, its your fault if you did.”
As She walked to their room, she spoke to him without turning to face him, “what surprises him more is that you are here…instead of being at office..”
Arjun just looked at her disappearing form and picked up his coat and left for office fumingly in anger.
Radhika called up nesam and told them about the success of the first step of their plan….in the next two to three days, radhika and neil deliberately made themselves visible to arjun.
Radhika would come home after arjun…and would arrive in neil’s car each night….they posted pictures with each other on social media….radhika made sure arjun saw them…..she pretended to talk to him in front of arjun, while she actually talked to sam….who giggled her heart out. It hurt arjun to find radhika spending more time with neil….and most importantly, she was laughing and was happy all around neil…….arjun felt that she wasn’t herself when around him.

On the fourth day, arjun was sitting in the living room working on his laptop….when radhika entered the room giggling on her phone….she glanced at arjun and then spoke all cheerfully, “neil…uff….stop naa….you are hilarious..” she started laughing again…
Arjun had enough, his wife’s proximity with neil was killing him…he grabbed the phone out of her hand and threw it on the sofa….he pinned radhika to the wall, “radhika, you are my wife….why aren’t you spending your time with me……it seems as if only he matters to you..”
Radhika looked in arjun’s eyes…she apologized to him silently in her heart…she put on a tough face, “because he has time for me and you don’t..”
She walked out of his hold….walked to her room and came back after 15 mins, all dressed up…..she was about to walk out the front door, when she turned and looked at arjun, “I am going out…will be late.”

She didn’t even wait for arjun’s response…she quickly went to sam’s apartment…both neil and sam were waiting for her…..when she entered sam cocked up her eye brows….neil asked her, “so how did it go?”
Radhika smiled, “exactly according to plan.”
After waiting for about a couple of hours….neil drove radhika back home…the only difference was that this time sam was also waiting in the car.
Arjun waited for radhika…at the entrance…. neil’s car stopped at a short distance from him and radhika jumped out….he grabbed neil’s arm as he was about to hug radhika…….arjun was about to punch neil on his face when radhika held his hand…
Arjun angrily spat, “so he is more important for you…than me?”
Sam also came out from the car, “no…he is not…..Its only you, Mr. Arjun Mehra who occupies her heart….but sadly, I don’t think she has the same effect on you…..because if she did, you would make an effort to make time for her.”
Neil continued, “arjun, she is a nice girl….she is your wife…she can get any other guy, she second she wishes to….but its only you, whom she wants….she was pretending this entire time to make you realize your mistake…”
Arjun looked at radhika, who was looking down……he felt a surge of emotions well up within……Remorse.Gratefulness.Love.Affection.Thankfulnes.Guilt.Respect…..he thanked his stars for giving him radhika as his wife…..

Arjun moved forward rapidly and hugged radhika tight…lifting her up and twirling her around, while she wrapped her hands around his neck….he whispered close to her ears, “I am so sorry my love…its you who is my priority from this second onwards…trust me..once..”
Radhika nodded and kissed his cheek…
Neil wrapped his arm around sam’s shoulder…..she leaned on him….their hearts full of love…
