Destiny; 'Don't treat others in a way  you don't want get treated in your life...because life turns the wheel once in everybody's favour'

Radhika walked inside the study , Nihal smiled and asked her to take the seat. He pulled out few papers and handed to Radhika...she gave him a confused look. Nihal smiled; ''Radhika this is Dilip's property papers...his business and other properties....you are the lawful owner of them..I want you to learn and make him proud'' Radhika's hands started shaking...she wished she could do as Nihal expected...but it bought back all that she wanted to leave find. The bloodied bodies of her family...continuous whipping.. those hungry dark nights...those curses she took for her family . The blames that her father never deserved the wealth. Her mind screamed Money it all happened because they wanted her father's wealth. Radhika  threw the file as if it was plagued ; ''I can't....'' Radhika got up running out...she hugged Prerna tight as Nihal followed her; ''I don't want all that ....that money took all from me. Its cursed....I can't please'' Prerna hugged her tight, asking Nihal not to persuade her  more till she is ready. Prerna calmed her distracting her talking about different things....Neil closed his eyes in pain..; 'what should I do...to make you forget all...to make strong'

Teji's House

Four whole one week Teji went through all the details of Mishra's murder case. He studied how and under what circumstances Radhika was rescued ...after finishing all the details he wiped his eyes.His POV; 'This girl needs to face her fears again...I should speak to Sam and Kritika ....Radhika has to live her past once again...she has to scream her pain out...' 

After receiving  the call from Teji, Kritika informed Sam and walked out of her house . Before she could get into her car. Kritika was pulled aside with a jerk; ''Keep your voice low honey''

Kritika; ''What are you doing here Zubin'' Zubin kept looking at her face before placing a deep kiss on her cheek. He whispered on her skin; ''I missed you love....stop fighting me'' He pulled her into his arms and Kritka melted; ''If you missed me then you should know why I ignored you''

Zubin lifted her chin up; ''baby I am possessive about you, I can't see guys ogling at you''

Kritika; ''Zubin that's their problem not mine, I won't give my freedom away...why should I stop living''

Zubin could feel his nerves heating up, he pulled her close and whispered; ''You are betrothed to me, can't you keep one request''

Kritika; ''I am your Betrothed ...not wife. So you better stop acting as my husband...its my life and I will live my way. you are free to find someone else'' Zubin's patience gave up, he crashed his lips onto hers . It was a punishing kiss...Kritika struggled to move out but he was way too strong for her..she gave up. when Zubin realised she gave up he broke their kiss smirking at her; ''now you know who is the boss'' Kritika stared him with wet eyes before shoving her knee into his groin...; ''Boss, my foot you are a jerk...do that again with me and Khanna family ends with you''

Kritika walked off without looking back, on the way she picked Sam up. Sam could make out she was upset. But before Sam could ask her a thing she got a message; ''Kritika Sanjay challenged Neil for a dual....its is Arena today''

Kritika; ''Sanjay is no less....you and me both know that. He must have done his homework. Its just a way to hurt Neil...''

Sam; '' Let's cancel the meeting with Teji for now...'' Kritika messaged Teji postponing meeting for a day. 

Meditation Centre 

Radhika took her meditation session and walked off to her car. ''How come you are alone today'' Came a husky voice. Radhika stopped , took a deep breath and turned around to face the source of voice.

''As far as I know , its none of your concern Mr Mehra'' Radhika retorted angrily..Arjun took a step forward, his eyes lingering on her beautiful face..; ''Wow !!! I like feisty chicks ....didn't know you have temper to''

  Radhika smiled; ''I don't...but morons like you make me lose my senses.What do you want''''  

Arjun; ''A date with you ''

Radhika; ''And why would I agree to that...I don't even like you..let alone being interested in you''

Arjun tugged a strand of hair behind her ear, Radhika stepped back; ''Come along just once...and you will never forget me...''

Radhika; ''I don't think so...plus I don't date a man whore''

Arjun smirked; ''Are you planning to play hard''

Radhika; ''I am not playing at all...listen to me loud and clear  I am not interested in you AT ALL...so stop tailing me and trying to be cheesy ...you are just losing your respect in my eyes.'' Radhika pulled the open the passenger door to get into her car..then stopped; ''And I don't think Sam would be too proud of your actions''

Arjun's fingers curled , he stood looming over her; ''I am trying to be good with you and you are insulting me. Any girl would die to spend a day with me. Do you even know  what you are dealing with. I can be your destruction''

Radhika shivered a little , she saw an animal in his eyes. But her conscious pushed her to be brave; ''Arjun Mehra you don't even know the meaning of the word destruction...now take one advice...everything beautiful brings lot of trouble. You might actually invite your destruction tailing me'' Radhika quickly got inside and ordered the driver to drive off . Arjun shook with humiliation. 'One day you will be mine...and then I will crush you' Arjun got a message from Zubin, he groaned ; ''God this Romeo, he will land in some big trouble' He left the place in hurry.

Once inside she leaned back closing her eyes...  she rubbed her chest to calm down her frightened heart. Radhika was still wiping her forehead when she got a message from unknown no. ; 'today I will break the bones of your lover....then I am coming for you' ''take me to Arena now''

The driver flinched ; ''But Sir wouldn't approve of that''

Radhika; ''For now just take me to Arena if you don't I will jump of the car'' The driver gave up...he knew once Nihal knows about it, he will lose his job.

Radhika practically ran inside the Arena...Sanjay stood in the ring with bare torso , his arms spread wide accepting the cheering done for him...girls were drooling... Sam and Kritika stood in stands cursing all the girls. Suddenly the Arena went silent....Neil walked in in his hoodie with all attention on him...he walked towards the ring , but something made him stop . Neil turned towards his left , his eyes locked with his Birdie. Neil read her fears concern in her beautiful brown eyes.

Arena's weather changed .... ''Neil....Neil....Neil.....'' this was the only word that could be heard in the screaming arena...the bright neon lights were lighting the boxing ring waiting for the two competitors....covered in a black robe with a hoodie Neil made his way to the large ring....girls were hanging down to touch him...whole arena was chanting his name like a mantra....he ignored all...he kept walking towards the ring. once inside ..he turned around to lock his gaze with a pair of brown eyes....the most beautiful brown eyes...he gave a nod....today he was fighting for her. His Birdie..his Chashni...the girl he promised to keep safe with his life....Neil jumped over the rope and pulled the robe of his body making the screams go louder...he twisted his neck locking his eyes with the opponent..

Sanjay rolled his heavy shoulders and smirked; ''Are you planning to throw only stares at me...or you know how to punch...don't forget its freestyle''

Neil was stoic without an expression....his eyes spoke a lot but Sanjay understood nothing...he turned and blew a kiss in the direction of the silent brown orbs of Radhika....the referee waved commencing the fight....Sanjay started pumping his legs and threw some punches in air....Neil adjusted the white cloth around his palm with his gaze fixed on Sanjay....Sanjay came close and threw some punches at Neil...who ducked and escaped them easily...Sanjay smiled; ''What Neil baby scared....??? This arena will chant my name after this fight....and I will take her with...''

  Before he could complete Neil's punch kissed Sanjay's jaw....he fell flat on his face sending the arena into a dead silence; ''talk less and do more Sanjay'' Sanjay felt the room  circling around  ...he somehow gained his strength standing straight...He threw punches again at Neil...Neil made a 360 turn kicking Sanjay on his jaw. Blood spurted out  from Sanjay's mouth. Neil challenged him; ''Some man you are.... get up now show me''

The Arena was in shock..they had never seen Neil so murderous...Sam broke the silence; ''Neil...Neil...Neil...'' with Sam Kritika joined in. Slowly the Arena echoed their favourite fighter's name...they clapped cheered on all his punches and kicks.

Arjun watched Neil...his moves. He knew Neil was the same guy who was always round Radhika..but why was his sister cheering for him...what was Kritika doing here...Zubin stood boiling when he watched his girl cheering for another man...he blamed Neil for Kritika's changed attitude towards him...

Sanjay got up to fight again...he was practically blind from an eye due to Neil's punches He made one final try when Neil's fist kissed his jaw...Sanjay fainted ...his face was a mess...Neil didn't even wait for the referee to count...he jumped over the rope and walked to his birdie...She was staring at him with glassy eyes...Neil cupped her face; ''No ..don't cry... till I am alive...no one will touch you that's a promise'' Neil wrapped an arm around her shoulder pulling her in a protective embrace....he walked off her leaving the screaming arena behind. 

Kritika grabbed Sam's arm; ''Arjun Zubin are here'' Sam looked at Kritika; she thought for a moment. Held her heart and fainted...Arjun got worried. He ran and picked her up carrying her back to his mansion; Once inside he asked'' ; ''How did she faint''

Kirtika; ''We were watching Neil vs Sanjay ...Neil won..she screamed and fainted''

Arjun; '' Mad Girl....'' Sam leaped at Arjun wrapping both her arms around his neck ...Arjun fell back on the bed; ''Let go girl''

Sam; ''Bhai I am in love...you know love at first sight''

Arjun face palmed himself; ''Sam you are mad....what was the need to faint''

Sam got up..and started enacting Neil; ''He shoved his robe off....and there was the best male specimen of the world....Sanjay challenged him....he was quite...he provoked Neil....again quite then few airy demonstration of punches...and there comes the master stroke....Sanjay fainted in the ring and me outside the ring...that punch wasn't on Sanjay's jaw...it was straight on my heart....

Arjun smiled and pulled her in a bear hug....; ''you are just too adorable my sister''. Arjun left the 2 girls alone. Kritika came closer and whispered; ''Sam are you crazy you just blew your cover...you gave away your boy friend's name''

Sam; ''Yes I did and this is why Bhai won't doubt on him....he knows that If I love someone I will protect them with all my might..He knows I will do all to keep my relationship a secret. Since I uttered his name...Neil is out of his suspicion radar''

Kritika; ''you were tailor made by God to be Arjun's sister...but for how long''

Sam; ''Till Bhai stops lusting after Radhika, because if these two clash..its me and Radhika who will suffer the most'' Kritika gave Sam a hug before leaving...

Arjun stood in his balcony lost..his mind only revolved around Radhika..her eyes...her lips her hair ...her voice....it was as sweet as sugar. Only thing which he hated about her was her stubbornness...Radhika's beauty had grown on him like  dark magic...even a mere thought of her would make his blood go wild...Arjun moved his fingers through his hairs....'Since the day I have seen you...I haven't slept properly. you are there in every thought...every moment...till I get you..till I own you...I won't sit....you will bow that stubborn head of yours infront of me...you will walk into my arms Radhika...I will make sure of it''

Same Night

After dinner Sam lay on her tummy reading a book...her phone pinged; 'I am downstairs' Sam looked at time...it was 11:00 PM . if she took front door...everyone will know of her little adventure...Sam placed the pillows on her bed covering them...she walked out of her room , it was dark...everybody by then had slept. Sam tiptoed on the stairs slowly moving out...Sam directed Neil towards the back of the Mansion wall...she made her way on the top of the wall using a guard's chair..she knew they hardly came this way...Neil stood there smiling at her...Sam took a deep breath and jumped....landing in Neil's arms..Neil hugged her tight...he could feel her hammering of her heart; ''Scared''

Sam whispered; ''No..excited...its so much fun to meet secretly''

Neil ; ''Sorry I couldn't meet you after the fight''

Sam; ''Am I complaining''

Neil rubbed his thumb on her lower lip; ''I am lucky to have you Sam, thanks for understanding me so well'' Sam wrapped her arms around his neck...she pecked the corner of his lips; ''when will you kiss me''

Neil watched her...she was looking down all shy, Neil lifted her chin up; ''Sam I want to , more than you do. I am waiting for the time when there is no more filters between us and we could trust each other without a single thought ...I don't want you to regret'' Sam wrapped her arms tight around him..; ''Hug me tight Neil...please'' Neil pulled her closer...omitting all space between them....he placed numerous kisses on her face and neck...; ''Coming fora run in the morning''

Sam; ''I won't miss it for a thing'' With one last hug..Neil help Sam climbed the wall...Sam tiptoed back to her room...Arjun watched A silhouette driving away in the dark...he walked out into the lobby, but kept himself hidden...he watched Sam tiptoeing into her room...Arjun was mad now; ''Wrong move Sam...you shouldn't have betrayed my trust. I will find this punk and wipe his existence off the planet...
