This is a wonderful start! I loved how Sam/Radhika's friendship was restored and just how sweet Arjun was towards Radhika, so protective of her. The hero entry line by Neil had me cracking up. Too bad about Radhika's dad being so against the relationship but looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the characters in the upcoming chapters!

Part 2:

Radhika had woken up feeling an arm draped around her waist. Looking to her left she saw Arjun's peaceful sleeping face and couldn't help but smile. His proximity reminded her to the day she had left and she couldn't help but run her hand over his head. Smiling softly she moved slightly making sure to not awake him but his grip was so strong, as if he was afraid of letting go, she couldn't remove his arm. Looking over at Arjun again Radhika softly kissed his forehead and felt him relax, softly she removed his arm and got up to get ready for the day.

Sunrays were shining into the room disturbing Arjun of his sleep. Groaning he removed his arm to the other side of the bed and felt around. In a second he bolted up alert that Radhika was not next to him. "Radhika," he said quietly once. Looking around he couldn't find her and he felt his stomach drop as that dj vu feeling hit him. "Radhika!" he called out louder, "Radhika! Radhika!" he ran out of the room frantic needing to find her.

"Radhika!" she heard his fearful voice calling out and she ran out of the kitchen.

"Kya hua?" Radhika asked confused and worried that something had happened. Arjun stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her. The first thing Radhika noticed was how frightened he looked. Arjun ran towards Radhika and pulled her into a tight hug, having her close made him relax.

"Kahan thi tum? Bata ke nahi ja sakti thi?" Arjun demanded to know still feeling the after effects of the initial dread he felt when he woke up.

"Main toh," confused Radhika held up her aata filled hands, "Nastha." She said cutely.

The worry seeped off of Arjun's face as awkwardness filled in, "Woh...main...sorry." He said quickly letting her go. "I'm gonna go shower and get ready." Arjun said feeling embarrassed. Almost reaching the room he stopped and turned around, "Waise, I'm glad you didn't leave." Arjun said with a small smile.

Radhika couldn't help but blush at Arjun's tactics. She was soon broken out of her thoughts when she felt Kaka put his hand over her head. "Beta aaj bade dino ke baad maine Arjun ki aankhon mein saachi khushi dekhi hai. Khush raho beta." He gave her his blessings and left.

Arjun had gotten ready and came out of the room to check if Radhika was ready to leave yet. Looking around he found her by the table on the phone.

"Main bilkul thik ho, aap sab?" He heard Radhika ask. "Dadaji, Papa se baat karni hai.' He saw her face fall as she said, "Woh ab tak naraz hai? Thik hai dadaji, ji baad be baat karte hain."

"Arey sir nahi, matlab, Arjun..." Radhika fumbled when she saw him.

Arjun chuckled and said, "Arjun Radhika, Arjun."

"Ghar ka phone tha?"

Radhika nodded looking away from him.

"Papa ab bhi naraz hai." Arjun stated more than questioned. Radhika nodded again.

"Radhika, main..." Arjun folded his hands in front of him, "I'm sorry yeh sab meri wajah se hua hai."

"Nahi sir!" Radhika said immediately grabbing his hands. "Aap ne kuch galat nahi kiya."

Arjun forced a smile and said, "Still sir?" seeing Radhika's uncomfortable face he said, "I won't force you to do anything radhika, call me Arjun whenever you feel like you are ready."

Neil and Sam were sitting in Sam's office thinking about a new slogan for a new ad they had to run. "Yaar pata nahi Arjun aur chashni kab aaenge." Neil said knowing that Radhika would be able to give them at least something to run off of.

"Sam!" Neil waved his hand in front of Sam's zoned out face. "Kya soch rahi ho?"

"Sorry idiot tu kya keh raha tha?" Sam said.

"Kya hua Sammy?" Neil said looking at her gloomy face.

"I was just thinking about Chashni, kitni achi hai maine isse itna kuch kahan kitni insult ki aur phir bhi usne mujhse apni dosti nibhayi." Sam said.

"Sam," Neil said taking her hands into his, "You can't change the past, but you can change the present and the future. Yes you treated chashni bad but now you are never going to make that mistake again. You are going to give her all the love and friendship she deserves."

"Neil, how did I not trust her?" Sam said closing her eyes, "Main kyun samaj nahi payi ki baat kuch aur hi hai, you knew it! You believed her from the start, you believed that she could never break my trust, toh phir main kyun yeh dekh nayi payi." Sam got up walking towards the window.

"Sammy, mera aur Radhika ka tuning hi alag hai. From the beginning we got along well and yes I believed her because I had seen her do everything for you. But you were also not wrong to react like that, you saw your best friend and your love get married on your wedding day, anyone would have been angry." Neil explained.

"But you believed her and I didn't!" Sam knew nothing he could say would make her feel better. "Tujhe pata hai Arjun ne kahan tha ke phere ke waqt Radhika ki har vachan mujhse juda tha. During her last phera she said would honor our friendship for all seven janams. How can I feel okay about myself after that?" Sam said honestly.

"Yaar ab yeh mere haath mein nahi hai jise baat karni hai woh wahan behta hai." Neil said signaling that Arjun and Radhika had come.

"Yeh kya hua dono ko?" Sam questioned as both of them watched as both of them looked to be in an off mood.

"Boss Arjun sir and Radhika are here, do you want us to tell them to come in." Teji said as the gang walked into the conference room.

"Boss lagta hai phir se koi jhagda hua hai?" Zuben said.

Arjun and Radhika walked into the conference room not looking each other in the eye and Neil broke the tension in the room again, "Okay so this new ad we need to make by the end of the week. In two months Birdsong will be launching a modeling ramp that will be advertising Maybelline products. Arjun it's your pitch again so the last product will be run by you. Chashni tum humare saath yahan pe slogan pe kaam karongi aur Arjun you have those client details you need to look over once we are done we'll send you the potential slogans." Neil said as the group dispersed to work on their respective jobs.

Neil had been watching Arjun for the last twenty minutes. Arjun had looked over at Radhika every five minutes and then would go back to work. Neil nudged Sam and signaled towards Arjun. Hiding her smile Sam started noticing how Arjun kept looking over at Radhika as well. After an hour had gone by one of the caf's workers had brought a cup of coffee into the conference room and placed it right next to Radhika.

"Bhaiya yeh maine order nahi kiya." Radhika said confused.

"Jaanta hoon, Arjun sir ne order kiya aapko dene ki liye." He said as Radhika turned immediately making eye contact with Arjun who was in his office.

"Hmmm." The gang started giggling as they watched Arjun and Radhika look at each other. "Kya baat hai Chashni yaar Arjun sir ko tumhari itni fikar hai." Teji teased her as she hide a smile and picked up the cup of coffee to take a sip. She looked at Arjun one last time and saw that he looked content with the fact that she drank it.

Getting an idea Sam immediately said, "Guys we are gonna go show this pitch to Arjun and see what he says, we'll be right back" as she grabbed Neil's arm as they subtly went to Arjun's cabin.

"What is going on?" Sam straight away asked Arjun as she entered his cabin.

"What?" Arjun asked.

Not being able to take it Neil said, "You look like an arranged marriage type couple that is awkward after getting married."

Arjun just glared at him. "Kya matlab?"

"Matlab yaar problem kya hai aise kyun behave kar rahe hoon dono?" Neil said.

"Kuch nahi, Radhika is just a little upset aur subhe se kuch zyada khaya nahi isliye coffee." Arjun said, "Not that I need to explain myself."

"Aacha guys relax, why is she upset?" Sam quickly asked stopping any sort of argument that could have broken out between the guys.

"Papa ab bhi naraz hai." Arjun answered.

Neil looked at Arjun, "Itni si baat hai, yaar solution toh simple hai Papa ko patao."

Arjun glared at Neil. "On top of that Radhika's birthday is in threeweeks, she will be devastated if Papa isn't talking with her then."

Neil looked at Arjun first and then turned to look at Radhika in the conference room. He still didn't trust Arjun fully, but he was willing to try for the sake of his Chashni. Taking a deep breath Neil asked, "Toh kya karna wala hai?"

"I have an idea, but I need your help for it." Arjun told them.

"Dekh Arjun mujhe ab bhi tumpe itna bharosa nahi hai..." Neil started saying truthfully

"Neil," Sam cut him off not wanting an argument to erupt.

"Lekin chashni ki liye kuch bhi." Neil said giving Sam a small smile as both he and Sam listened to Arjun's plan.

Half the day had passed when Arjun had come to the conference room to get Radhika. When they finally got home Radhika asked, "Sir ab toh bataye kya surprise hai?"

"Khud hi dekhlo." Arjun said smiling as they entered the house.

Before Radhika could see anything she heard their voices, "Bhabhi! Bhabhi! Bhabhi ghar agayi!" she laughed as three little boys all put their arms around her waist hugging her.

"Aacha ab sara pyar sirf Bhabhi ki liye!" Arjun said jokingly as he playfully ran into the house with the boys.

"Bhabhi ab aap chodke toh nahi jayengi na?" one of the little kids, Abhi, asked.

Bending down to his height Radhika smiled and promised, "Kabhi nahi."

"Promise, we had to eat Arjun bhaiya's food for four months." Abhi said making a disgusted face.

Laughing Radhika kissed his cheek and said, "Pinky promise, ab aisa nahi hoga."

"Chalo chalo dekhte hai cards ka ghar pehla kiska banta hai!" Arjun said as the kids cheered around him. Radhika looked at how happy and carefree Arjun was with the kids and couldn't help but smile.

"Bhabhi aap mere team mein hai." Abhi said grabbing her wrist.

"Kya yaar last time Bhabhi ki saath tum har gaye the." Arjun said smiling as they both remembered the last time they tried to make a house of cards.

"Iss baar hum nahi harenge." Radhika said confidently.

"Aacha?" Arjun asked, "Tumhe saach mein lagta hai that you'll win?"

"Of course sir." She replied with the same tashan.

"Why don't we make the game more interesting." Arjun wavered as the kids looked at him.

"Bring it on." Radhika said not being one to back down from a challenge.

"If I win you have to go on a date with me tonight." Arjun said.

"Okay aur main jeeti toh?" Radhika wavered.

"Aisi nobat nahi ayengi." Arjun answered confidently. "Lekin agar tum jeeti toh tum jo bhi kahongi main woh karonga."

"Deal?" Arjun asked putting his hand out. Radhika looked at Arjun and then his hand, "Deal," she said shaking his hand and sitting by the same table they played at last time.

Arjun had built half of his house before it fell apart giving Radhika the chance to start hers. Halfway through Arjun could see she was winning and he had to think of a way to stop her again. This time if he coughed it would be too obvious, he looked around at the kids who were cheering Radhika on and smirked. Leaning towards the table he let his hand drift under the table and softly graze Radhika's legs.

He watched as Radhika's eyes widened and she jumped making her stack of card fall. "Bhabhi lost! Arjun bhaiya jeet gaye!" the kids jumped up and down. Radhika just looked at Arjun in shock, her mouth slightly opened and her eyes wide.

"Nahi!" Radhika started to say.

"Haan Radhika tum har gaye." Arjun said smirking.

"Main nahi, aap ne cheating ki!" Radhika said.

"Kya yaar Radhika ab phir se mujhe cheater kehna just because tum har gaye." Arjun had to bite back his laughter.

"Aap ne cheating ki!"

"Aacha, kya kiya maine?"

"Aapne -" she stopped realizing she couldn't say it out loud. Arjun grinned as Radhika sulked.

"Maine kya Radhika?" Arjun was immensely enjoying this moment.

"Arjun aap ne cheating ki!" Radhika said and Arjun's playful laughter stopped as he stared at her in shock.

"Kya kahan tumne?" he asked her.

Looking at him like he lost his head Radhika said, "That you cheated."

"Nahin, usse pehle!" Arjun said. Radhika just gave him a confused look. "Arjun, sir nahi, tumne Arjun kahan." He said with a small smile as Radhika looked anywhere but him.

"Arjun." Radhika agreed with a small smile.

While they were lost in their moment they didn't realize Rana kaka talking on the phone. "Yes Radhika has come back home. Yup Arjun is happy, he is smiling and laughing more than he did before. Yes I will inform you of everything you need to know."

Nighttime had fallen and Arjun had gone to drop the kids back home telling Radhika to get ready for their date. Saying bye to the kids in the car Radhika was about to go back into the house when she saw a shadow by the house. Curiously she went towards the shadow and placed her hand on the mystery person's shoulder. The person jumped and turned around shocking Radhika.

"Nandini di?" Radhika asked shocked.

Nandini looked equally as shocked to be caught. "Radh-Radh-Radhika," She stammered out with tears in her eyes, "Please Arjun se kuch mat kehna. I just wanted to see if he was okay. Main sirf aapne bhai ko dur se dekhna chahti thi"

Radhika looked at Nandini with sympathy, "Nandini Di please come home then."

With a regretful smile Nandini replied, "Tum ho hi itni aachi ke meri galtiyan maaf kar diya, lekin Arjun ko mein jaanti hoon, woh mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karenga."

"Then try and fix things with him, he won't stay happy breaking his relationship with you Di." Radhika told her.

"Radhika," Nandini said grabbing her hands, "You are too good for your own good. Main Arjun se jitna dur rahongi utna hi woh khush rahenga. Promise me you won't say anything to him, please Radhika, promise me." Nadini said pleading.

"Lekin," Radhika started to say.

"Please," Nandini folded her hands pleading.

Grabbing her hands Radhika forcefully agreed, "Thik hai Di, but please think about it."

Nandini smiled, "Arjun tumse bohot pyar karta hai, aur tum isse bohot khush rakhti ho. Thank you mere bhai ka khayal rakhne ki liye." She said before leaving Radhika bewildered.

Arjun had be waiting for Radhika to come out of their room for the past 20 minutes, he had dressed in a simple white shirt and a pair of jeans.

"Radhika are you almost rea..." He didn't finish asking his question as his mouth was left open in shock seeing Radhika. "Wow," he said as he slowly glanced her over. Radhika was wearing a beautiful simple black maxi dress.

Radhika nervously looked at Arjun wondering if he'd like the dress; when she had worn a similar dress around Saral and he had freaked out, even though she believed that Arjun would never react like that with her she was still nervous wanting to know what he was thinking.

Walking over Arjun held out his arm for Radhika to take, "You look beautiful." Smiling Radhika looped her arm through his.

"Waise where are we going?" Radhika asked him.

"It's a surprise." He said grinning as he led Radhika to his car. Once they were in he had put a blindfold over her eyes.

"Arjun yeh kyun?" she asked making his heart skip a beat, he could never get used to the feeling of hearing her call him Arjun.

"Biwiji surprise hai, and I know that if you see where we are going you are going to be full of questions." He said laughing slightly knowing how much she loved to talk.

"Arjun! Main pakka baat nahi karongi, ab batao na!" Radhika nudged him.

"Nope, you won't know anything until we reach there." Arjun said driving through the roads.

When they had finally reached Arjun had opened Radhika's door gently guiding her out of the car, holding her waist with one arm and her hand in the other he walked her down a couple of steps till she felt something soft under her feet. Sniffing around she suddenly turned around and with her blindfold still on she excitedly said, "Are we by the ocean?"

Smiling Arjun turned her around and took off her blindfold. Opening her eyes Radhika gasped to see what was in front of her. They were on the beach, she saw the waves softly crash against the shore and right before the shoreline there was a blanket laying on the sand; it was so simple and romantic it was so her.

Turning around she looked at Arjun in shock. Nervously he ran his hand through his hair, "Woh main jaanta hoon tum Hrishikesh ko kitna miss karti ho, especially being by the ocean, so I just thought you would like to go somewhere that's simple and meaningful to you."

Radhika's face softened as she looked at the man in front of her, the same man she first thought was the devil who ended up being an angel in disguise. Not being able to help herself she threw her arms around him and buried her face into his neck. Arjun smiled content tightening his arms around her feeling so accomplished in giving her something worth remembering.

Halfway through their date Arjun had laid down resting his head on her lap while Radhika ran her fingers through his silk like hair. Arjun had been playing around with Radhika's other hand never letting go. They were talking about their experiences and aspirations and just everything they could talk about.

"Toh tumne uss chor ko saach mein bhaga diya?" Arjun asked laughing.

"Haan! He stole my bag and I ran after him, pushed him down, aur aisa punch mara naa woh khud hi bhaag gaya." Radhika said smiling remembering that moment.

"Kamal hai tum woh pehli ladki hogi jisne ulta chor ko bhaga diya." Arjun laughed.

"Bechara I took out all my frustration on him. I was late from the party Piyali ma'am threw and Zebun mil nahi raha tha. Uske baad main office gayi aur thab hi Sam ne ghar ka offer diya." Radhika said smiling widely at the old memories. She missed living with Sam.

"Aap bataye na bachpan mein aap kaise the." Radhika asked him.

Smiling Arjun kissed her hand, "I was so mischievous when I was younger." He recalled his childhood days. "I used to talk so much and make jokes. And I was obsessed with sweets that is all I would eat. Nandu would have to hide them from me." Arjun's smile suddenly fell as he remembered Nandu.

"Aacha aapko meetha pasand tha!" Radhika exclaimed changing the subject off of Nandu not wanting to think about what she had seen today and not wanting to upset Arjun, "I can't believe that!" she smiled.

Arjun squeezed her hand in comfort and said, "Barfi, mujhe barfi kuch zyada hi pasand thi. Ghar pe jab aata tha toh pura dabba main akele khata tha." Laughing they both continued with their conversations, just enjoying being in each other's company.
