Part 6
"Only this village is left and we have less time, we have to find Radhika or else.." Purab said
"I have already made arrangements for the place we are going to live...we have to be careful if ever Radhika is in that village, we can have time to plan everything..." Arjun replied
"Then only two of us will stay there and look for her, when we found her, we will call others.."
"No need to call the others!! That's just a girl, can't the two of us handle that pretty witch..."
"you know she's bloody clever vixen..."
"are you doubting yourself or you don't trust my abilities...or you think I'm stupid"
"well if you want like that, then I got no problem, Master wouldn't give you the work if he knew you couldn't complete it..."
"Then do whatever I asked you to do..."

"Have I made the right decision?? She deserved some happiness, for all her childhood only her mother gave her that happiness, after her death I took her in my life, what if things didn't go the way I have planned; doesn't she deserve to have some happiness??" Raj asked himself, still debating in his mind, looking for the solution but still unable to find any answers.
"you're thinking again about that??" Radhika asked bringing him back out of his thoughts.
He jerked and glanced at her, replied smilingly "No, my thoughts were somewhere else..."
"I know the feeling, it may be much more harder for you, even though you try to hide it..."
"Don't be sad, let's just not discuss the past...anyway, so how is this...what was his name?? yeah, Dev..is he a nice guy???"
She had been trying hard to keep him out of her thoughts, but he kept her mind busy with his thoughts. She doesn't want to remember anything about him, but since Raj brought up the subject she couldn't drop it.
"He..He is a nice guy, he kinda likes to be my friend even though how hard I try to avoid him, he's just too stubborn..."
"you don't like him, I guess.."
"NO!! I mean I like him, I don't know...I just couldn't get to give my trust on him..."
"you think he's one of them??"
"i..I just don't know...there is a sense of familiarity whenever I look at him...I maybe wrong...it's just that if I'm wrong, I still won't want to put him in danger!!"
"I guess you're right, it's better to avoid him than be with him for both of your safety but I think you should at least enjoy his friendship for few days since you won't be here for long..."
"You think??"
"I wouldn't suggest if I don't think..."
"Oh, Thank you, I was so much in dilemma, whether to accept his friendship or not but you think it's right, then I know it's right...I was also feeling guilty for behaving bad with him..." Radhika said cheerfully.
Raj smiled and said in his mind "Maybe I did the right thing!!!"

"Where were you?? i thought you were angry with me for playing prank on you, but you said you weren't angry, but why did you left so sudden, are you still angry at me?? I thought I have finally found someone who cares for me, but I was fool enough to think that there would be someone..."
"hey, hey, honey, I'm not angry at you...but I'm glad my absence gave me an impression that you want me and you missed me, did you??"
"well, i..i didn't miss you, why would i?? I just wanted to apologize from you for my behavior last time..."
"I told you honey I am not angry on what you did and don't apologize, as for my absence, I went out of the village to my friend, she insisted that I should stay for few days, I couldn't deny her so I stayed there for a while..."
"She insisted that I should stay.."
She??SHE!! Does he have a girlfriend?? Of course it had to be a girlfriend!! No man denies their girlfriend wishes!! Damn it, but why is it hurting so much, I care less about his girlfriends!! If he have a girlfriend or girlfriends, god knows how many there are or have been with that stunning looks and charm to woo any lady, it's impossible he never had relationship, then why does he want me to be his friend?? Double damned, whenever I start to trust this awfully handsome guy, one way or another it just breaks...
"Are you still in this earth, I think your thoughts are flying somewhere else.." Dev asked carefully. He had seen the change of emotions through her eyes, they had been cheerful, but it turned abruptly into another emotion, anger or whatever, he couldn't comprehend. God knows, what goes in her mind, as her eyes are the only way he could understand her feelings or emotions, with that irritating cloth covering her face which he so felt the urge to take off and hide somewhere, where she would be never able to find it, it has been impossible to read her.
"For god's grace I still am, I wou..." She didn't complete her sentence, realizing that she is spilling the beans, she had to be careful, no, extra careful while talking to him.
"Why'd you stop??" Dev asked curiously.
"Nothing, as I was saying that i..i want to start over, If you still want to be my friend?? I won't force you!!"
"I never said I never wanted to be your friend, so you wholeheartedly accept my friendship, honey??"
Honey?? Oh, when was the last time she has heard anyone saying that word to her except Raj, her mother only she had called her with that endearment and after her Raj does so, and now him, she was happy as well as sad because it won't last long.
"I do but if I still refrain to answer some questions and keep secrets, would you mind??"
He smiled brightly "I've never forced you and never asked you about your past or present, I don't care who you are and where you from and why you're here, I just want you to be my friend and once I have gained your trust, I know you will tell it by yourself without me asking for it..."
"I hope what you think is what happens, I don't know, I have this frank nature which keeps on pestering me on asking you why are you so interested in me, I mean why are so intent on being my friend?"
"I don't know, why I also ask myself, but then there is one voice at the back of my mind or in the bottom of my heart which keeps on telling me that it's my obligation to keep you happy, that you need someone and it's me, I felt this deep connection between you and me..."
She wished he hadn't said those words or she hadn't asked about his intentions, it made things worse for her. She has already been awfully falling for his looks, those magnificent looks and now his sweet honey coated words are playing magic on her. If she would not be able to grip her heart tight, she may fell in love, that too, head over heels. She shouldn't have listened to Raj, Stupid!, now she had put herself into a mess, where she doesn't know she would be able to come out or not.
"Back to you wonderful world again, Mysty honey??" Dev asked again.
"no, I was just, well, nothing..."
Without saying a word, he gathered her in his arms, though he kept it loose and it was so hesitant, unable to decide if she would be angry or not, but to his shock, she returned his hug, wrapping her one arm on his waist and another on his chest along with her head.
"I'm so happy that you finally agreed, Thanks Mysty, you would never regret being my friend, never honey!!"
She just closed her eyes, feeling his warm and hard muscles against her soft ones, how she wished she would remain there, wrapped in his long, strong arms, forgetting everything, the fear of dying, but she know that won't happen.

"I have never seen such beautiful painting before, it's magnificent!! I have always loved paintings, I wish I could paint"
"You think?? Well you haven't seen my other paintings!! By the way you want to learn??"
"I wish i could but no thanks, I would just watch you paint and think that I'm painting"
"Come on honey, come here I will teach you, here take this brush!!"
"But..I..." he didn't listen to her, just took her hand gripped it around the brush, followed by his own hand gripping her hand. He stood so close behind her, so close that she could feel his warm breath on her shoulder even though it is covered. Her heartbeats were playing like a drum in the orchestra, she could even hear it in her ears, and she just hoped it isn't much loud, loud enough to let him hear it. Her breath was deep and hard, she tried her best not to tremble but she couldn't hold herself. Something twitched in her stomach, couldn't understand what it was, but all in all she couldn't understand her body reactions on his tender touch.
"You're trembling, honey?? Are you sick??" Dev asked, trying his best, very best not to laugh at her state. It isn't the first time he is witnessing these kinds of reactions from girls under his touch. He perfectly understands when the girl start reacting this way, it was just too funny, she couldn't tell him and couldn't understand what she'll do.
"No, I'm ok" she still managed to those words. He felt guilty and removed his hold and bloody hell, he felt bad when he heard the relief sigh, which completely tells him, she doesn't like his touch. If it had been some other girl, he would've heard frustrating sigh not relief sigh.
"you can come to my house to see the paintings, or let's say we go today??"
"No!! I couldn't come to your house, your parents will get angry!!"
"oh, no..my father won't get angry at you!!"
"you're mother then!"
Pain filled in his metallic steel like eyes, he replied sadly "she's not here anymore, she's dead!!"
Radhika looked at him painfully and replied softly "Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't have..i'm so sorry!!"
"it's ok honey, it wasn't your fault, let's not discuss about my mother!!"
"I understand the feeling of losing a mother!! It's worst when she is the only person in your life and is you're everything!!"
"It's worst but makes you think that she's the only person in your life, are you forgetting that I'm also part of your life??"
She looked at him and replied "you are but.."
When is she going to understand that he wanted her in his life, why can't she just trust him, what has happened in the past that she couldn't get to trust any person in her life. It has been a week of their friendship but still she kept her distance and without pretense shows that she don't trust him at all. He needs to be patient that is the only thing which can keep her connected to him, because once he loses his temper, god knows what will happen. She needs time and he's willing to give her that, and he doesn't know how much time she will take before she completely trust.
"No buts, honey, I am and will always be part of your life..."
She just wish he could but she knows he couldn't..hope that devil just die and burn in hell who is just making her miserable..
