Chapter 5:Arjun ignored Sameer's question and avoided having eye contact with both Sameer and Sakshi. They also left the matter for the time being and focused on the case.
Arjun was again deeling with the case efficiently. His sharp mind and analytical skills were just an icing to the cake. But he was behaving too normally. Or let's say he was behaving like ACP Arjun Rawte.
But this normalcy in attitude and professional talks disturbed everyone and it was enough for all to know that things were not normal.
After sometime the case was over. All were doing there bit of paper work. But were equally worried about Arjun.
Arjun was in his cabin, planning to strike his masterstroke. That's when Sakshi entered his cabin.
Sakshi came and saw he was lost in his thoughts so she went up to him. She put her hand on his shoulder to bring him out of his thoughts. Then she said "Arjun I know whatever happened yesterday was not right. I'm sorry it was my mistake you don't need to worry about any of it. But please can you forgive me and not break the little relationship we developed in these few days?" Asked Sakshi hopefully.
Arjun looked at her and just nodded in return, she was happy with that. She gave him her beautiful smile and left. But things were different for him. Till now he himself didn't remember what had occurred between him and Sakshi last night. But now thinking about it, a slight blush appeared on his cheeks, and unknowingingly a smile crept on his lips.
Now it was Sameer's turn to approach Arjun. He went to his cabin without knocking, but when he opened the door he found Arjun was talking in phone. He thought of coming later but one thing caught his attention. Arjun's last line on the phone "Love You Ragini."
Surprise would be an understatement for him. It's not that he was angry that Arjun was moving on in his life. In fact he was very happy but the fact that Arjun hid this from him hurt him. He was sure that Arjun was talking to his love because the way in which he was talking was saved for a lover only.
Arjun left the phone and turned around only to see Sameer there. He was shocked seeing him there. He kept looking at every direction and not him.
Sameer thought Arjun was thinking that he'll again say something harsh and disapprove his relation but that was not true.
Sameer approached him and hugged him out of the blue. Which though surprised him, but calmed him also. Then he said "I'm happy for you." And without breaking the hug he continued "I'm Sorry Arjun not only for yesterday but for every time I've hurt you."
Arjun was actually surprised now. Sameer was behaving very differently, which worried him. He parted from him to look at Sameer. He saw his friend, his brother who was Sorry for his actions and at the same time happy for him.
Arjun was never angry at Sameer so he just nodded implying he that he had forgiven him.
Sameer was too happy with all this so he asked "So when will I meet my 'bhabi'?"
Hearing 'bhabi' Arjun's cheeks turned pink and he said "whenever you please." Sameer smiled at his response and Arjun's reaction on hearing 'bhabhi' and ordered Arjun to bring his girlfriend the following day.
That night Arjun again went to that house. Suryakant was already present there waiting for him. As he came Surykant smirked looking at him and said.
Suryakant: so how's going?
Arjun: perfect. Everything is going as per plan.
Suryakant: so what is Ragini Singhania saying.
Arjun: love makes smart people fool. That's what is happening with her too.
Suryakant: yeah right. But are you okay with it. I mean being so close to her...
Arjun: of course Baba. And she doesn't love me.
Suryakant: what?
Arjun: yes she wants to get me at any cost. She is obsessed with me. Actually she is on the brink of insanity because of me.
Suryakant: yeah right. First time a man didn't look back at her, and that's how she wanted to get you. But now she's totally into it. She is obsessed for you. But don't you feel bad for her.
Arjun: definitely not. She is no saint. She has destroyed many people. She plays with their emotions and destroys them. Now it's time for her to taste her own medicine. And through her we can handle, Devraj Singhania and Pallavi Singhania also.
Suryakant: I wanted to hear this only. So are you ready for the next step. That is marriage with Ragini.
Arjun: Yes baba. They don't know what they are getting into. The hell itself.
Saying so he threw a dart toward the wall where there were the pictures of the Singhania family.
