-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ney York USA

Arjun was furious not because...she fooled him but because she wasn't scared even a bit...she faced him with so much confidence that he was himself taken aback...he wanted to teach her a lesson...he should meet Anna today. Radhika settled herself in Anna's dorm..she was hesitant first because it was a luxury dorm like a 2 bhk...it was expensive to get one like that...Radhika thought of moving out but Anna made her comfortable;'' Rads...oh your full name might not come correct ...see you don't have to pay...its already done by my dad...I don't allow anyone...because they befriend me for their benefit...but I saw a truthfulness in your eyes...so make yourself comfortable...pay me what you can...and if you can't I am cool with it''

Radhika; ''You read people pretty quick''

Anna; ''Experience honey... my father is one of the biggest attorney here and my mom ...owns a fashion label...they are famous... busy perfect people...they are everything but my parents...I just have their name not their love....my sister eloped with a guy who was nowhere close to my parents status...but she is happy...she could never handle that pressure being an average daughter to extraordinary parents ...then I decided...I will be on my terms....I have met people who pretend to know you from ages...that is because of money...behind your back they are jack ass...'' Anna took a deep breath she never had spoken to anyone so much...but something about Radhika made her comfortable to her. ''tell me if I bore you''

Radhika; ''No...that's ok...I never thought I could get a friend so soon...ok let me arrange my stuff''

Anna; ''Thanks...ok you are vegan right...make yourself comfortable... kitchen is on the left...I ''ll take you to supermarket on weekend you can buy whatever you like''

Singapore

Sam and Neil had reached Singapore...Sam was looking out of the cab like a kid and smiling ...Neil was simply enjoying his lady love's happiness...suddenly Sam turned to him...Neil quickly composed himself...she knew he was watching her she ignore that and asked; ''Where am I going to stay...dad said you did all the arrangement''

Neil; ''With me'' Sam was shocked

Sam;''Neil...that's not correct...I am not comfortable...and how come dad allowed this''

Neil gave her one look ,he felt bad that she did not trust him; ''We are not going to share a room Samaira... you will have your separate room ...it's difficult to get a dorm or a university hostel here...and one more thing...you will have all your privacy I will never enter your room...and will give you all the emergency numbers so that you feel safe around me...and even after all this you don't feel safe I will get you a different flat'' Neil ended the conversation...and turned away Sam wanted to speak but his lifted his hand up gesturing her to be quite. Sam closed her eyes she had again hurt him...once they reached the building....Neil quietly paid the cab...pulled the luggage and moved towards the lift...with Sam behind her...the agent who got them the flat handed Neil two pairs of keys...Neil unlocked the flat and gave Sam a pair ...he made sure her room door 's lock were working properly....he picked his luggage and got inside his room...he locked it and fell on his back on the bed...he closed his eyes...a lone tear trickled down and fell on the bed.

Sam was feeling miserable...she knew if she called Radhika about this...she is bound to get scolded she decided to talk to Neil herself. Neil freshened up...he was adjusting his cupboard...when his phone started ringing...it was Arjun...Neil answered; ''Who gave you my new no.''

Arjun; ''Prerna Aunty...who else...and why the hell you chose Singapore...you should have chosen US NYU...I am mad at you for that''

Neil in a dull voice; ''You know why I chose...leave all that how are you?''

Arjun; ''Why are you dull bro...is everything fine?''

Neil: ''Yes....all is good...how about you''

Arjun; ''Bad start of the week...a tini-tiny girl made a fool out of me...I am still in shock...over that she is not even scared of me''

Neil chuckled ; ''Wow...that's a news...so how is she...I mean in looks''

Arjun after a pause; ''Since no one is around I can speak the truth...Cute...very cute...I fell for her beautiful eyes...otherwise it's not easy to bluff me''

Neil; ''So what's next...taking her on a date''

Arjun; ''One day yes...but for now she needs a lesson'' Arjun and Neil ended their conversation after few minutes. Arjun dialled Anna...she did not answer his call he decided to speak to her tomorrow first thing...Anna was one the 3 female friends he had...and they were close like buddies...she was a no nonsense girl...and Arjun respected her for that...he was confident she won't refuse him...but he was about to be shocked.

Next morning, Arjun rang the bell of Anna's dorm she had not answered any of his calls, and when the door opened his jaw dropped, Radhika was standing infornt of him wearing a track pant and a lose t-shirt...her wet hair still dripping water...Arjun's heart skipped a beat...his pov; 'why the hell enemy has to be so cute...and what is she doing here'...Radhika watched him for a minute and then spoke; ''What are you doing here? Arjun jolted out of his thoughts

Arjun; ''Same pinch...what are you doing here''

Radhika; ''I live here''

Arjun all surprised and little sarcastic; ''Now what story did you cook up to get into this luxury dorm''

Radhika was about to give back when Anna spoke; ''Raa—dhi—ka... wow that came quite correct...go finish your breakfast or you will be late...and hi Arjun''

Arjun 's POV after hearing name Radhika; 'Oh she is Steve's mentee...great '

Radhika 's POV- 'Arjun....sounds familiar who cares he is more of a Duryodhan...' Radhika moved towards the kitchen...turning with a jerk hitting Arjun with her long wet hairs...he just made an annoyed face...''Anna... you too ...she is bluffing ...don't believe her...why did you allow her''

Anna smiled; '' 2 reasons with a plus One she fooled you which is difficult...two- she was not even a bit scared of you...plus is she is an honest and a good girl...and Arjun...she is my friend now and don't hurt her'' Arjun lifted his hand in frustration gave one look in the direction of the kitchen and left...Anna just smiled

Radhika got ready she wore a floral midi frock ...with a broad belt at the waist... Anna watched her packing her bag...she smiled and said; ''You are very pretty Rads...''

Radhika blushed ; ''Thanks Anna...see you in the evening''

Anna; ''Call me if someone troubles you'' Radhika waved her and left she had to meet her mentor today...but she was about to be surprised...Arjun had requested...Mr Burton to change his mentee...the old man was so fond of Arjun that he readily agreed...and looking at Radhika's credentials he felt she should get the best mentor as she was an intelligent girl....Radhika moved to the discussion room and sat on the table allotted to her...there were others waiting for their mentor sitting on other tables...Radhika started reading...after sometime she felt someone standing across the table...she lifted her head up...she blinked all shocked , surprised and irritated. Arjun smiled at the confusion on her face...he enjoyed it he took the chair; ''Radhika Mishra...I am you mentor Arjun Mehra...welcome to my hell honey'' Radhika understood he did this to trouble her but she was not the one to give up...she smiled accepting his challenge; ''Thank you Mr. Hades'' Arjun liked her wittiness...he kept a bundle of paper on the Table; ''these are 100 management case studies you need to read them ....and at the end there is a problem for which you need to write a solution for...you have time till Sunday...Monday I will see you again and question you on your answers be prepared'' Radhika got up Arjun dropped the bundle on Radhika's hands...she staggered a bit and then gained controlled... gave him a glare and walked off...Arjun watched her and chuckled; ''So cute ....She can't even handle the weight of these papers ...how will she face me''

Singapore

Neil had ordered food once it arrived he arranged it on the table...he did not knock the door of Sam's room...Sam heard some sound and herself came out...she tried speaking to him ...but Neil took his food and went inside his room and locked it...Sam felt bad...but now it was enough she started banging his door...''Open up Neil...I know I hurt you...I am sorry...please Neil don't ignore me like this...you promised you will never leave my side...I am not moving till you open the door.''

Neil closed his eyes...first time he felt he should have never fallen in love. He got up and opened door and found Sam sitting and sobbing...he lifted her up by her shoulders Sam hugged him tight...Neil consoled her and took her to the table for dinner...Neil wiped her face lovingly and made her have food...Neil became normal with her...but somewhere it hurt him...that Sam couldn't trust him till date. After the food was done Sam asked; ''Can we go out for a drive...or a walk''

Neil replied; ''We can go for a walk in the building premises...I have applied for a rental car from tomorrow there will be a driver here...you can go anywhere you like...now let's go for a walk...from tomorrow our classes are beginning we have to sleep on time'' Sam noticed that Neil spoke to her but there was something missing. Neil was walking around the premises with Sam listening to her continuously ...suddenly his phone beeped indicating a message...he checked and his mood changed a smile covered his features...it was the message from Radhika stating- 'Handsome you forgot me after getting your love...you didn't even send me your no...but I managed to get it...now save mine...swt dreams buddy' Sam saw the change in Neil's expression ...she felt little jealous...when Neil's attention diverted from her to the message . Neil quickly replied...'I can never forget you little one...stay blessed...missed you' Radhika looked at the message and smiled and then she looked at the bundle of case studies and made a face she spoke under her breath...'Arrogant fool'

Arjun was busy in his personal gym...he still had not got any update on his swan and hi desperation was on the peak...he dialed a no and angrily spoke; ''How much time do you need to find a girl''

Person on the other side; ''The performance you shared is not there in the url of RHYTHM...they have not included this performance...''

Arjun; ''Are you nuts ..you can directly check in RHYTHM''

Man; ''I tried to get the information...but the RHYTHM members are asking the reason for this kind of inquiry...cannot let them doubt...they might go to police to protect her privacy... will update you in few days''

Arjun banged his phone on the bed ; ''I know Neil...you on purpose omitted her performance...but I will find her...because I want to''

The same man went inside a huge library and updated his master; ''I told Arjun what you asked me to...I have all details on Radhika...let me know when to share with Arjun''
