Arjun POV:

I hung up on the call, after 30 minutes. Well practically we didn't speak, she being shy after the simple confession and I being so absorbed in that little moment. I just listened to the calmness, jingling's of her bangles and after few minutes soft snore indicating me my angel is wrapped in her beauty sleep by now. I missed her the moment my car left the lane of her home, I had this possessive streak painted on my mind making me dwell on her thoughts. If it is up to me, I would have dragged her now to home, but I don't want to scare her with this extraordinary feel. For heaven sake, she tumbled on my arms just 2 weeks back and now all I want to do is encage her in the same arms. Once this wedding is cancelled I will give her ample time to accommodate with me and family and then will get her married to me. I by no way I will urge her to get settled with me soon and scare her.

What now? That is one question toping in my brain shunning all other thoughts. Her wedding is fixed on next Monday. Before the sun rays arise on next Monday, she should be relived of all the troubles and this asshole from her life. I am damn sure she is not willing in this marriage if it is so she would have never accepted for any of my date proposals. There is so much more to the wedding than it meets the eye. To top it that swine is still strolling Sydney, the one good thing he has done the whole life making my Chand free to go anywhere with me.

Deciding the next course of action, I bothered to make a call even though it is an ungodly hour.

"Mr.Mathur , Arjun Desai here" I called the same detective who at first worked on Chandini's history.

"Yes Mr.Desai. Do you require any more of investigation to be done apart from what Mr.Jadhav asked me to do?" he asked making me confused

"What did he asked you to investigate?" I asked clearing my throat.

"Well 10 days before he called and said that there may be a work for me to keep tab on Mr.Dhore but he asked me to work on it after his confirmation. But before 3 days back on one such midnight he called me saying he wanted all information's regarding Mr.Dhore's business ,his acquaintance with Ms.Sawant and her childhood." his answer made me to feel grateful for this idiotic buddy in my life.

"Yea I just wanted to know on the progress" I said managing the situation.

"Well it's going to take 5 more days to gather all the info but I will give them by coming Saturday" after his assurance I made my way towards Adi's room.

"Come dear man, what took you so long?" Adi asked working on some file.

"I came long before, just spoke with Mr.Mathur "I said sitting beside him

"Hmm yea, I called him to investigate on that Git after bursting at you on that day. Alas after the turn of events it entirely slipped my mind. But after meeting Choti I decided to run a thorough background check on her relation with him. Something is disturbing me from the day I met her. And I didn't say you because Choti may not like it when her boyfriend spies on her. Already we did a grave mistake man she may find hard to accept that, but if she knows this too you will have trouble in your little paradise. So I kept you in dark regarding it." Adi said making me give him a bear hug.

"I owe you buddy, for always thinking of me "I said making him chuckle

"Whoa hold on dumbhead I was thinking of my Choti and not you "he said trying to pull my leg.

"Ha your Choti is not just my girlfriend now, but my lover too "I said with a devilish smile making him scream his lungs out and dialling Anu's number.

After how, when and what's explained, Adi hung on the call with Anu and Jeej when I explained them I confessed my love for my Basanti.

***********************************************************

Pune, locked down warehouse

As the day started with new hopes, Kavya fisted her hands fresh blood running along her knuckles from the heavy blow received by the man who is hung on the ceiling upside down.

"You cannot do this to me ,you will be burned down to ashes the next moment my boss comes to know of this " the man who is almost seeing the entrance of hell from the blows received from Kavya still tried to be faithful to Pradeep.

It took Kavya this much time to get hands on Pradeep's accomplice after tapping their call for past 15 days from the time she landed in India. To trap him was the reason she came to Pune from Mumbai leaving Chandini all alone there after fabricating a situation of visiting home. Now that she got hands on him all Kavya wished to do was make him speak and to leave back to Chandini ensuring her safety when Pradeep will get to know hers and her maa's plan.

But this guy turned to be more faithful not opening his mouth even after her third degree treatment.

"Funking hell, who will burn me down? Your nincompoop boss uh? He is also in our custody without his knowledge. That ba$tard will see his doom exactly in 6 days from today. We already collected evidences against the murder mystery of Dhore's all that remains is to collect evidences on his recent crimes." The moment Kavya uttered this the man's face became pale.

"How did you know of the accident and what evidences you have?" He uttered shakily.

"Waah atlast someone decided to speak other things than his boss praises. I know that it was a planned accident. I also knew that you are the driver who was dead along with them as per records. So now ready to speak up "she asked lowering him down from the ceiling and making him sit in a chair.

"When he comes to know this you will see your worst nightmare he knows how to shut a girl and believe me he was successful in doing the same to a journalist years back who tried to expose him. Also he has high level connections in police department, so you a mere commoner could not shake him or his empire with some silly evidences" he said chuckling even at this moment which made Kavya's sour temper rise to a whole new extent.

Shrill scream echoed the whole warehouse the next second making the guy whimper in pain from the bullet that has now taken residence in his femoral triangle.

"Next time you open that dirty mouth make sure to whom you are talking with" Kavya said tossing her id card in front of his handcuffed hands seeing which his eyes mirrored the true fear.

"So now care to explain?" she asked

"It was all Pradeep Sir's instruction on which I did all these things. I was working as a personal diver for him by that time. He was so pissed and angry on his mother and father one day for their warning against his behaviour with Chandini Sawant. Mrs.Dhore found his creepy behaviour one night when boss exited Chandini room under heavy alcohol effect. Mrs.Dhore confronted Chandini, who was a kid by that time. Being a kid she doesn't know what to say and what not to so she cried showing her marks when confronted. This riled madam up and she informed every deed of her son to the sir who was already irritated with boss because he found that he was using drugs and also getting involved in drug business. This made both of them warn boss for his behaviour threatening him with the whole property of Dhore's. Boss was always obsessed with two things. One is Chandini and the other one is his property so he said he will change his villainy behaviour. Never other things or persons bothered him much including his parents. He thought that may put them to peace but soon he found that they visited lawyer's office together, so not to put his property and his ways with Chandini at stake he decided to murder them. So as asked by him I drove them on that day to a secluded area, and closed the car doors with switching on full AC .Increased level in CO made them to suffocate and die, after setting up a body like me in car we made it look like an accident. Everyone believed that it was an accident since as per media even the driver was dead " He finished making Kavya sigh in relief on how she was correct about their death.

The evidences Kavya mailed Vrindha was post-mortem reports and also this man's photographs indicating he is alive which made the whole accident affair err.

"Good. So now ready to speak up more about the recent happenings. Who are the girls who are going to be trafficked?" I asked him making sure whatever he speaks is getting recorded.

He was one stubborn as$ that he shook his head for a no, which made another bullet to target his abdominal region.

"If you need a medical treatment it's better for you to speak up "Kavya said glaring him

"Madam, Please leave me he will kill me if I say all these to you." He pleaded Kavya

"If you are not opening your mouth in next 20 second then you can visit the hell by your 21st second" Kavya raised her arms pointing it to his head

After sharing all the information's she required he pleaded Kavya for the medical treatment "One more question? Who is the journalist who tried to expose your boss?"

"I know she worked in XXX newspapers but I am not revealing the name unless you give me medical treatment" he tried his luck and bargained for his life

"Oops wrong move the info you unveiled is more than enough for me" Kavya said pointing out the gun towards his head

"No Madam please don't do it. If I didn't stay in touch with Pradeep then he will come down to India himself" that man pleaded

Next gunshot echoed the whole area making the man's scream surpass the gun shot.

"Do not ever threaten me I have my own ways to make it look like you are speaking with him when you rest in grave. The next time I meet your boss he will be at the other end of my pistol so go first and reserve a seat for him in hell "Kavya roared at the man who is losing his consciousness and called someone to clear the place along with his body

Kavya sighed at the ringing phone. It was three days Chandini is trying to talk with her, being behind this man's trail she was unable to take any of her calls. Now that she had completed solving one part of mystery she is solely focused on that git's other felonies. Also she has to find that journalist suffered at hands of him for trying to expose his deeds. She may be of some help in solving this case in next 5 days.

Chandini POV:

"I missed you "I whined when the call got picked up

"Missed you too Chandu. Sorry girl I was busy with things here" Kavya voice held a tone of relief.

"It's okay. I know you miss your family so please enjoy with them." I remembered she saying me she have a foster family back in India and visited them 3 years back when I tried to commit suicide. Thinking of those days I unconsciously ran my fingers on the mark of the cut that ran deep across my left wrist which is now securely covered by bangles. I hope Arjun, Adi and Di understands me when they see this mark. Jiju knows that by refereeing to my medical history but he never queried me regarding it.

"Oi girl where are you lost?" I heard Kavya bringing me away from my black day thoughts.

"Just the wedding. I don't want that to happen Kavya. I need you beside me please be here before that." I voiced out in my worried tone.

"Believe in me Chandu. I am there for you. Your wedding will not happen now that you said it out loud and clear. But what brought the change in you? All these days when I queried, you said you are doing it for your Bua." Kavya asked in wonder.

"Now am doing it for me Kavya" I said with so much confidence in me.

These days has given me something which I never had it all in my entire life which is confidence and I don't need to say who was responsible for it.

"Should I know something Chandu?" Kavya's voice turned to be calculative assessing my answers.

The least I wanted is her to know of Arjun and our love story on call now. I am sure she will run a BG check on him, eventually by chance getting to know on his plan of revenging me. I am sure she will get into the shielding mood banning him near me so I wanted her to know everything when she comes here and I will explain it to her crystal clear on person.

"Yea, but I am not saying anything on call. Come soon for me to share it with you" I replied her instantly

"Aye Aye captain, I will come there soon "she replied in a mocking tone.

After few minutes of our casual talks I hung the call and as usual was travelled back to the memories of yesterday night. I still wonder why I asked him whether he is in love.

Man he is killing me with his love and his kisses. I was strong when I furnished my upcoming days but his change in attitude is making me difficult to put things as per my plan. Nevertheless what's planned is good for both of us and so I am going to go with my plan.

I sighed and started getting ready for my date with Arjun. The moment his car came into view I started fidgeting with my bangles. I am unsure how will I behave with him after last night confession. Before I could process my thoughts I felt him hug me tightly and place a kiss on my head.

"Are you by any chance feeling shy Basanti?" he queried winking at me

I just nodded for no trying hard to control the heavy blush surpassing my skin tone. He just laughed and said hugging me more.

"Nothing changes sweet heart .You are my Basanti and I am your Buddhu. Ease yourself from this shyness" he said dragging me towards the gate.

"Arjun.." I called him tugging at his hands.

"Yea I know your crazy ideas for transportation. Say me how are we going today?" he asked with an amused smile dancing in his eyes.

I pointed at our vehicle and his eyes widened to an extent that his eye balls will come out.

"Basannntiiii "he squealed like a school kid eyeing his candy on seeing the beauty Hayabusa standing with all its mightiness. I remember Di saying me how Arjun had this craze for bikes and wished to have at least one ride in variety of bikes.

The next moment he rushed to it absorbing and feeling its features and grinning at me for such an idea.

"You don't have any idea that how much I love biking"he said hoping on and asking me to take my seat.

"Well then you don't know me" I said giving him a cheesy smile. He was beaming with mirth on riding the beauty.

"Why didn't you get this idea for your earlier dates Basanti?" he asked feeling that he missed riding it all these days.

"Because by then I didn't have rights to hug you tight like this, now that I am your girl I have all my rights on you" having said that I hugged him tight making myself fuse with him.

For a milli second the speed came down but the next instant bike soared to a speed which was directly proportional to the impact of my tight hug on him.

After few minutes of silence he asked me "Where to Chand?"

"I want a long ride with you Arjun, go anywhere but before that I want you to take me to a mehendi Artist "I said him, capturing in mind every single moment of us.

"Huh?" he asked confused

"I know it's crazy but I want to go on a bike ride with mehendi on my hands. And I have never got adorned with Mehendi for past 10 years. Last time I remember was once my mother drawn it for me after my pestering" I said remembering how much I loved mehendi back them on my childhood days.

"Crazy Queen. I must be worried if there wasn't anything crazy associated with you and your date plans" he muttered but took me to a local artist so that I get it applied on both hands.

"Basanti remove your bangles let her apply till your elbow" the moment he said it I remembered the deep gash in them

"Nah Arjun, it will be difficult for me to balance in bike. Next time I will have it till my elbow now till my wrist is enough." He didn't argue much accepting the excuse I gave him.

He stopped near a dhaba in the highway to have our dinner after few minutes of our ride. I excused myself to wash my hands so that I can have my dinner.

"No Basanti don't wash them. I want to see it dark in colour by tomorrow" he said taking my hands and looking at the intricate designs.

"Ah I can apply lemon and sugar mix to get dark colour Arjun "stating that I scurried away to wash my hands but to stop by his pull on my wrist making me collide with his chest

"Lime is so you, but I want to see natural tint of mehendi" he said nuzzling my neck inhaling my lime fragrance making me go weak on my knees.

"Arjun .." I can't help but to let a slow moan on his actions. On the right moment he pulled away realising the public place we are in.

"Shhh now" he didn't say anything more but when food arrived he started feeding me with his hands alongside eating his food.

I cannot express the feel I had when he fed me with his hands. Di fed me Halwa days back but I was not impacted this much back then but this man is something different. I never remembered the last time when I was fed by someone apart from the lovely sibblings. I was in a trance until Arjun stopped his bike and wiped my tears that was about to flow.

Devi maa bless him and his family more and more with happiness I chanted a small prayer inside my head.

I smiled at him saying "Happy tears "he just nodded the head and started back the ride after giving me a kiss on my cheeks.

We were standing outside our home and he was looking at my mehendi clad hands.

"Thanks Arjun" I said hugging him he just hugged me back saying nothing. I hope he understood my unspoken words.

After breaking from the hug I was about to move to the door when Arjun asked naughtily "Just Thanks? Am I not getting any rewards?"

Though I understood his notion I decided to play it along with him "And what reward my sweetu wants?"

"Do not call me Sweetu Basanti" he said nearing me very closely

I twisted my lips and said "Swee.." the rest of my words were swallowed by his kisses.

My right hand placed on his heart and left wound around his arms I was again and again been taken to the wonderful pit by my Arjun. When he realised me after a satisfying himself with series of kisses I rested myself on him unable to believe my wobbly legs.

"Remember that is my reward for my doings and your punishment for calling me sweetu. From now on I don't mind you calling me that because where ever you may be I will not hesitate to give you this punishment" he said giving me his naughty smirk

Charmer I mumbled to myself and ran to my room bidding him goodnight.
