Chapter 23
Arjun pulled back and started driving without even looking at her. Radhika glanced at him a couple of times but Arjun’s eyes were locked on the road.He was in deep thought about what was just happened.
They drove in silence , but her heart was pounding within her chest. She still could feel the warmth and tingle of his lips on hers. His only touch made her shiver, no one in her life made her feel like that. She wants to kiss him again. Radhika increased the volume of the music to block her thoughts. No one spoke until he dropped her back to the apartment.
The rain was still coming down in steams as he got and came quickly to open door for her.Grabbing her hand he took her to the apartment.,both of them dripping wet from the rain.She unlocked the door and entered and Arjun followed her.
Still Awkward silent present between them.
“ Radhika…”
Turning to look at him, she saw something different in his eyes….something like…..REGRET..her heart stopped for minute.
“ I am sorry..i got caught up in the moment and I let myself go somewhere that I shouldn’t have…” He said while his eyes were closed in pain.
Every word cut her heart into thousand pieces. Though she was expecting something like this from him but her heart hoping to listen to something different from him.
“May be we should just forget about it….” Radhika said but only she knew how much her heart was paining..
“ I’m going to go..Good night Radhika..” Arjun said while turning the door knob.
“ Arjun….” She said with painful voice..
He turned back in hope that she will say something that his heart wants to hear.
“ Thanks for the ride….” She said looking at him for second and went rushing towards her bedroom..
His heart cried within and he left…
While driving, he wants yell and kick himself for uttering those words to her. Telling her that it was just a mistake it was killing himself…Little part of him was dying second by second…he want to concentrate on road but he could only remember the tingling of her tender lips on his. He wanted to make it special.. He thought that he was not prepared at that moment..
He pulled over to the side of road.
“ Radhika please forgive me..this was the last time I hurt you..From now I will only make you smile n happy..Soon you will became mine..only mine…”
He drove back to his home…
Wedding Preparation days…..
After the kiss incident Aradhika tried to avoid each other being alone.. They were always made conformed that they were surrounded by others.
While wedding preparations Radhika always came to Arjun’s house with Sam for helping Sonali.
Arjun steals glances of her when she was around. He used to watch her from corner of his eyes while she was helping with sarees to sonali or making flower decoration for engagement party of Nesam or playing with NGO children who were staying at his home for wedding preparations.
There were moment when Neil would look up and see Arjun watching radhika, he would smugly smile at him. Whenever Neil or Raj with Arjun they were constantly asked him what he was planning to propose her. He was used to ignore them.
The Night of NeSam Engagement party
Engagement party was organized at Arjun’s house. All arrangement was all done by Trio Radhika, Sonali and Prerana..
Walking along upstairs, Arjun looked down to see Sonali pointing towards caterers towards dining room and quickly giving instructions to waiters.. Suddenly she looked upwards towards and her eyes shimmered in happiness..She wants to indicate something with that happiness.Arjun smiled back and went towards the lawn area to look towards the party arrangements.
In few minutes Neil came in lawn he had worn brown coloured faded denim and crème color shirt with Brown sleevless jacket. He was not looking less than million dollar model.
People started to arrive, Then Sam entered with Samrat, Piyali and Jai.

Sam noticed this and she smiled, called him..
“ Arjun, she is yet to come…Mala aunty and Ankush are coming so she went to receive them to the airport..”
“ While she gone alone…” Arjun replied quickly…and then he noticed his quickness.
“ I mean if you had informed me then I would have sent someone to pick them up…” Arjun somehow hide his restlessness.
“ You know how is she…she didn’t listen to me..I have called her up minute ago..she told she was on the way..maybe she will reached in a few minutes….” Sam
“ Okay….by the way you are looking gorgeous…Neil surely won’t take his eyes from you…” Arjun said teasingly…
“ Shut up Arjun…By the way where is that idiot….” Sam started to search for Neil and end up finding him with many girls talking laughing. She frowned in anger and went towards the other ladies but still observing him from corner of her eye that he still was busy laughing and talking with that girls..
Sam tried to avoid it and went toward the backyard of the house and suddenly felt the tight grip on her wrist.
Neil pinned her to the wall. Her heart was racing inside.
Suddenly she started to hitting him..
“Chilll…sammy…I was just teasing you….” Neil tried to stop her.
“ dare you next time..I will chop you into many pieces…” She had tears in her eyes…
“ Hey Sammyyyy…my darling I will never do this…pls don’t cry.you look hell cute when you are angry.I just want to see how much you love me.” He grabbed her hand and pulled her into tight hug.
“ Neil I can’t imagine me without you..I can’t live a second without you…When I feel your gaze on me and your hand holding mine, I want to stay at that moment all my life.Your love has turned my life around.I can’t guarantee a flawless relationship, but I promise that as long as I live you found me always besides you..” Sam was looking deep in Neil’s eyes..
Neil leaned forward and whisper at ear shell
“ Sammy…I loved you from the day I laid my eyes on you for the very first time..My feeling will never change for you.. I want nothing more than my life spend with you by my side. When I wake up in the morning I want to find you beside me. When I go to sleep I want to feel your hands around me. I want you for eternity…” and he kissed her and they engrossed in each other, dreaming about their future life..
