Chapter 23 - Congrats Mr.&Mrs. Mehra!!!
Arjun gets ready for the marriage, a flash appears when Spandana admits the truth, "I did all those because Harsh blackmailed me. I don't find any other way and I did what he asked me to do. I am sorry...I seriously regret it for what I did to you both. He is doing the same thing again to separate you and Radhika. He still black mails me with that videos. I am married now, I want to live my life peacefully but Harsh is not ready to let me have a peace in my life. He is back again to destroy my life"
Arjun comes to the reality and sighs, and then he gets a call in his mobile. He responds to the call, "Is the work done?"
Caller, "No Sir. We couldn't do what you said"
Arjun, "Why?"
Caller, "Sir, he is not at home. We searched in his home but found him nowhere. He ran away from here"
Arjun, "Fine. I will call you back, if I need anything"
He throws his mobile on the bed and walks out to the mandap.
******
Arjun & Neil sits on the groom's place and recites the mantras instructed by Pandit.
Pandit, "It's time to call the brides"
Nandini goes to get Sam, Prerna gets Radhika to the mandap.
Arjun lifts his eyes to capture the view of his bride walking to the mandap with a tensed face. He smirks looking at her face.
Radhika and Sam take their place besides the grooms and perform the rituals said by the pandit.
Arjun looks at Radhika's face at the tip of his eyes and whispers make sure that it is audible only to her, "Remember the day? I am happy that I am going to make you as Mrs. Mehra ONCE AGAIN"
Radhika's eyes snapped at him immediately, tears are visible clearly in her eyes. She turns her gaze away from him to avoid getting weak in front of him.
Pandit asks the couples to take the Seven vows, and the couples did so as told by him. They seated on their places, where the pandit gives them the Mangalsutra to tie.
Arjun turns to her and tie the knot locking his eyes with hers whispering, "I won you again" Radhika looks at him with a hatred and murmurs, "You made a mistake in marking me as Mrs. Mehra"
Arjun smirks and putting the sindoor on her forehead and mutters, "Mr. Mehra will never ever do the mistake in his life". Radhika shuts her eyes and tears drop on her cheeks when she feels his touch on her skin and opens her eyes only to meet his intense gaze, he leans on her face and kiss her cheeks saying, "Congrats!!! Officially, we are now Mr. & Mrs. Mehra"
Past ......
The days passed, Arjun and Radhika keep their relation secretive. Radhika did not want others to notify them and have a gossip and she wants to continue her rest of the years peacefully in this college without Arjun...so she did not want to open up her relation with Arjun to anyone. Only Kriti knows everything about them.
Arjun hesitates to tell his love on Radhika to his friends, he knows that they will tease him to the core and they will not leave Radhika also. More than this this will be outspread to the whole college and he did not want that to happen. Since Sanjeev is very close to him, he knows it and he maintains this secret with lot more promises.
Apart from these 4, Harsh found out their love and pledges to separate them using Spandana as a key. Spandana does what Harsh said and plans to make Arjun closer to her and she starts implementing it.
And the day comes, Arjun chats with his friends and see Radhika going towards library. She bids bye to Kriti and walking towards the library. Arjun finds her and he couldn't sit there anymore, saying some lame excuse he runs towards the library to get her.
He enters inside the library and searches for her, he runs to all the floors to find her and suddenly hit the ladder unknowingly. He immediately lifts his arms to carry what is falling from the top and that's a girl.
She gets down from his arms and looks nervous, Arjun mumbles, "I...I am sorry. I didn't see you"
She, "It's ok. No pbm"
When she said those, Arjun finds her hand knee is injured. He immediately holds her hand and cleans the blood saying, "Oh god...it's bleeding. I am so sorry"
She smiles looking at him and said, "Thanks for your care. I am Spandana" she extends her hand to him.
Arjun smiles back at her and shake his hands with her, "I am Arjun"
He helps her in taking the books and turns to go but finds Radhika there starring at him. He goes to her asking, "Where were you?"
Radhika moves her gaze at Spandana once and to him saying, "I was here only"
She turns to go before he responds; he follows her outside and drags her to a secluded place locking her in his arms, "Are you angry at me?"
Rads make faces, "No"
Arjun, "Then?"
Rads, "Then what?"
Arjun, "I followed you to library but you were not when I came. Where you went?"
Rads, "I was searching for some books at the last, BTW what were you doing with her?"
Arjun, "Nothing, was just talking with her"
Rads, "How? By touching her, huh?"
Arjun widens his eyes and rolls it, "Well, she was injured and by me"
Rads, "How?"
Arjun tells her how he carried her in his arms when she was falling down; Radhika glares him angrily and walks away pushing him down.
Arjun pulls her back to him, "Hey, what happened?"
Radhika, "I don't like it when you touch someone else other than me"
Arjun smiles wrapping his arms around her waist saying, "Why should I touch others, when I have you?"
Radhika blushes and try to push him away but he hold his grip tightly and capture his lips with her into a passionate kiss. Radhika gets mold into his arms and traverse in the flow he wants.
After that incident, Radhika often finds Arjun with Spandana in some or the other instances, her heart never liked her presence with Arjun and when she confronts him he always gives her the reason. Though she fights with him, finally she believes his words and ends their fight with his dominant kiss.
It's a last semester for Arjun and the First year end for Radhika. Since Radhika and her friends mingled with Arjun's gang, they all decided to go for a trip to enjoy the holidays they go apart.
Sanjeev keeps his face seriously and shouts, "Hill Station? Kotagiri in TamilNadu?"
Arjun, "Mumbai to Kotagiri?"
Sanjeev, "Yes, by car it's just 19hours man. We explore the places on the way too"
All have their own confusions on this idea but he compels them and made them accept to trip this place once.
They all travelled in 4 jeeps, Arjun makes sure that Radhika is with him in Thar, Sanjeev winks at him and he warns him not to open his mouth at all.
Arjun's happiness lays no boundary having his love beside him and enjoying the holidays to the best. The 19 hours journey from Mumbai Central to Kotagiri became the most cheerful trip, they all enjoyed their time they spent on the road, meeting new people around there.
Finally they reached the place they going to stay. It's a cottage they took it rent for the next 3 days. Everyone are exhausted cause of the long journey and the good thing is the cottage owner kept the servants to maintain this building and for cooking too.
They served the dinner for them and all got settled in their rooms which are allotted for them. Arjun gives Radhika a sad look, she chuckles looking at him and goes to her room with Kriti.
Sanjeev chuckles seeing Arjun pacing around the room restlessly and scolding his friends unnecessarily. Slowly one by one they started settling themselves and slept early except Arjun. He goes out and stands outside Radhika's room.
He hesitates a lot and raises his hand to knock the door but before he does, the door opens and Radhika looks at him with a surprise look.
Radhika husks, "ARJUN?" with her eyes opened widely.
Arjun shuts her mouth and drags her outside of the cottage; both started walking at the back side of the cottage aimlessly holding each other's arms.
Radhika crosses her arms around her chest to manage the chillness, Arjun pulls her to him and wraps her body in his arms and continues walking.
Radhika, "Arjun, where are we going?"
Arjun, "Who knows?"
Radhika, "Arjun, will go back. We might go in a wrong route; it will be difficult to come back. We don't even know the language also"
Arjun, "I don't bother as long as you are with me"
It's been an hour now they started walking somewhere, Radhika winces in pain, "I cannot walk anymore. My legs are paining" she sit on the stone there immediately.
Arjun looks around and finds a place at the bottom of the big tree, he takes her and both settle down there in each other's embrace and fall asleep.
*****
Radhika opens up her eyes when the sun ray's falls on her face straight and more over some noises around there. She gets scared seeing the tribes surrounding them and glares them. She wakes Arjun and he too gets shocked seeing them there and gets tensed of not knowing what to do.
Arjun hold Radhika tightly seeing their angry glare and he opens his mouth to speak but stopped by a person comes in front tells them in their language to follow them. Ardhika blinks at him of not knowing what he said and roots at the same place.
He then again signs them to follow him and they did as he said. All the way Radhika hold him tightly and not letting his grip loosen.
Finally the tribes get them to their place; Ardhika finds surprised seeing so many people and their huts around there.
Arjun mutters, "They are the local tribes"
Radhika, "What language they are speaking?"
Arjun, "I guess it is Tamil, We are in Tamil Nadu actually"
Radhika, "How do we speak? We don't know"
Arjun clears his throat asking the same person in English, "Excuse me"
He turns to him and gives him a glare and starts speaking in their language, "Where are you both coming from?"
Arjun and Radhika blinks at each other not knowing what they said, Arjun stutters, "You know, we missed our route"
Now it's their turn to blink at each and the person who looks like a head of this group calls someone and whisper something in his ears.
Soon another man appears over there and enquires Ardhika in English.
"Who are you? Where are you both coming from?"
Ardhika smiles hearing him and sighs in relief, then Arjun continues, "Hi, I am Arjun. I am from Mumbai. We came here for a trip with friends and stayed in nearby cottage"
The guy, "How come you are here in our village?"
Arjun, "Acutally, we came for a walk in the night yesterday and missed our route & slept in the place somewhere. Morning, your people found us and got us here. Please help us in reaching our place"
Guy, "Where you stayed?"
Arjun tensed and curses in his breathe, "Shit, I forgot the place name"
Guy, "You don't know the name of the cottage?"
Arjun nods no, Radhika blinks in fear. And the guy continues, "Don't worry. You might be from nearby place only and that's why you reached here so easily. This is our village, Kokkal is the name of this place and we are the tribes living here. They are my people, we called as Kota Community. Our official language is Tamil"
Arjun smiles, "Please help us in reaching our place"
Guy,"Sure, we will find out soon and btw why don't you stay here for today and enjoy our festival today"
Arjun, "Festival?"
Guy, "Yes, it's for our lord. It's a very special day today. I invite you to stay here today and enjoy the festival. Meanwhile, I will send some people to get the information about your place and friends"
Arjun, "Thanks, your name?"
Guy, "Dhruv"
Arjun, "I am so surprise to find someone here talks English very fluently"
Dhruv smirks, "Nowadays, we are more smart than others and learning everything what we can. Like you, we met many tourists so we learnt to communicate with them. Tribes like us are improving ourselves in every way possible. Mmm, may I ask you something?"
Now both started walking towards the huts and Arjun said, "Yes, please"
Dhruv, "Are you both married?"
Ardhika is shocked and looks each other, Arjun continues "No, actually..." before he says something Dhruv interrupts, "Not married?" with an accusing look.
Ardhika finds the doubt in his look and Radhika managed to say before Arjun say something, "We are just married, that's why we came here to celebrate it with our friends"
Dhruv nods his head and goes front, Ardhika follows him. Dhruv shows a hut to Radhika and introduces a girl to her and she looks like a teenage girl and tells her to help Radhika in getting refresh.
Arjun goes with him and goes to some other hut to get ready. Soon both gets ready and assembles on the main area to join the people in their celebration.
They start their rituals with the prayer first, then feed the prasads to every one there including Arjun and Radhika.
Then they started their traditional dance function with their people and pulls Ardhika also into it. Ardhika happily enjoys the dance and the time they spent there.
An old man and the lady comes to them, taking them to their lord and prays for them. Ardhika is happy seeing them and gets surprised seeing them giving something to Arjun.
Dhruv comes front and informs, "I told them that you both are husband and wife, and that's the mangalsutra she gave, that's our traditional one, she wants you to tie this to her, in front of our lord since it is a very special day today"
Ardhika is shocked and Arjun stutters, "How can I?" his voice clearly shows the shock.
Dhruv, "Why not? You both are married right? Let this be the second time, our god is so powerful, and once you both are tied together in front of our lord, you will be bonded together for the next seven births and nothing can separate you both. It's our belief and they want to witness you tie this to her"
The old lady smiles and signs him to tie it to her. Radhika blinks at Arjun, tears already dwell in her eyes staring at him.
Dhruv looks at him, "Why are you hesitating Arjun? Are you really married with each?"
Arjun thinks, "If I say No, they will think wrong about us. I don't mind if they talk bad about me but I don't want Radhika to get insulted because of me" he then nods, "Yes, we are"
Dhruv smiles, "Then put the mangalsutra, we believe you are made for each other and we wish you both to stay together forever"
Dhruv continues, "This is just our tradition, i know you people won't believe in all this but just for this people's sake, make her wear this. They will be happy"
Arjun gazes Radhika and the Mangalsutra in his hand alternatively and moves close to her. Radhika keep on looking at him, and shut her eyes once he wears the mangalsutra in her neck.
He whispers, "Nothing and no one can seperate us. You are mine...forever"
Radhika opens her eyes with tears and smiles at him,"Yes, I am yours"
The day spent with many more rituals and dance performances by the tribes. In the night, Ardhika is surprised and shocked together when they have been to the room as a husband and wife by them.
Arjun chuckles looking at the tensed Radhika who is fiddling her fingers continuously. Arjun walks to her slowly with an intense gaze on her and she steps back seeing him coming closer to her.
Radhika raises her finger on him, "Don't come to me. Stay there"
Arjun, "Why? I am your husband and i have all the rights to come to you"
Radhika, "What? We are not married yet"
Arjun, "Did you forget the marriage happened in the morning?"
Radhika, "That's their belief"
Arjun, "Now, i believe their belief"
Radhika, "Arjun, please"
Arjun now stands an inch gap with her, leans on her face closely whispering in her ears, "You are my wife now, i can do anything with you"
Radhika, "You won't"
Arjun, "Why not? It's a hill station, very chill place, alone in the hut, hormones are in the peak" he pause for a second and looks at her face which is in crimson red and he continues,"How can i stay away when i have my beautiful wife blush like this?"
Radhika pushes him and runs away around the hut, Arjun easily catches her and both falls on the mat kept on the floor for them.
Radhika gets trapped in his embrace and he slowly leans down to her face stealing the kiss from her.
He further goes down to her jawline and her neck placing a lingering kisses on her. Radhika clutches his shirt tightly of unable to hold her feelings anymore.
He stops moving further and kiss on her forehead mumbling, "I love you"
Radhika smiles pulling him to her, "Love you too"
He releases her from his embrace and lies few inches away from her surprising her and said, "Sleep"
Radhika is really surprised by his actions and nods her head silently and turns to other side to sleep.
Arjun also turns other side but both are not closing their eyes to sleep but keep checking other when they are not noticed.
Arjun keeps moving his body and groan mildly to control his arousal. Radhika bites her finger in tension and keeps rolling her eyes.
At the exact timing, both turns to look each other and startled meeting their eyes with desire.
Arjun again moves towards her wrapping his arms around her waist and pulls her roughly to have her chest hits his front.
Radhika closes her eyes in agreeing to his needs, where in Arjun rolls on top of her and covers them with the blanket.
Past ends.....
Arjun sighs and enters inside in his room, only to have hit by Radhika's bridal saree on his face.
He chuckles looking at her angry face and said,"You reduced my work?"
Radhika gets more angry and throw the pillow on his face. Arjun catches it asking, "For what?"
Radhika, "To sleep in the couch"
Arjun's face shrinks,"Why the hell?"
Rads, "I don't want to sleep with you in the same bed"
Arjun, "What if i don't agree?"
Rads, "I will walk away now itself"
Arjun, "So brave?"
Rads, "Now i don't have to bulge you. My brother is married now and you cannot seperate them"
Arjun, "mm hmmm"
Rads, "So, if you don't want me to go away from here, better sleep in the couch"
Arjun keeps staring her and she continues, "I hate you arjun. I can say it directly on your face. I hate you from the bottom of my heart. I prayed God that I don't want to see your face at all and see, now my fate makes me to wake up seeing you everyday."
Arjun gets upset and walks out without even responding to her.
Radhika smirks and said, "This is the biggest punishment i have ever got. Now you will see me Mr. Arjun Mehra... i will torture you to the core where you should think and realize your mistake of marrying me.
If you show me your power being Arjun Mehra, then i am not less than you because now i am Mrs. Radhika Arjun Mehra. Just wait and watch your dance for my tunes, because I AM YOUR NEED."
