<>||CHAPTER 1||<>
A girl was hiding behind the door of the dining room and was secretly listening the conversation of the two persons present there.
Monica: Armaan,I have something very important to discuss with you.And I am telling you that you are not going to oppose it cause I won't listen.
Armaan: First at least say what you want to say?
Monica: Radhika is going to join university and her admission is also done.
Her classes will also start within some days.
Armaan: So?
Monica: I want a bodyguard to be with her 24/7.
Armaan was just going to put the spoon in his mouth but he stopped in the middle.
Armaan: From where did you get this thought all on a sudden?
Monica: Our daughter has grown up Armaan and she needs safety more than ever before. And besides all your business partners have appointed bodyguards for their children. The other day Mrs. Sakhlani also appointed one for her son.
Armaan laughed out loudly.Monica got angry.
Monica: I was not joking!
Armaan: Now I get it.You don't care about your daughter's safety but your status!Well, I don't have any problem.But have you asked Radhika?
Monica: It is nothing to ask about.
We are her parents. We are doing it merely for her safety. That's it!
Ar:I agree.But we should ask her once. After all this bodyguard is for her right?
Mo: Just do as I say. I'll talk to her.
The girl who was standing behind the door sighed "Uff! Now Mrs. Mishra is gonna make my life a real hell.Am I a goddamn five years old kid that I'll need a bodyguard to protect myself? Like people are going to kidnap me! This is just disgusting!" Radhika again sighed and went back to her room.
A man was sitting on a chair,reading a magazine over a cup of coffee when his phone rang. The man picked up the phone
Man: Hello sir.
Ca: Hello Arjun. I have some news for you.
Arjun: Please continue sir.
Boss: I just have got a very good option for you to go undercover. Moreover the job also suits you.You know about famous
businessman Armaan Mishra right?
Ar: Who doesn't know him?
B: He is willing to appoint a bodyguard for his daughter and I think it is the best option for you to go undercover right now.
Ar: Sir I would have had no problems. But you know that I can't get myself suited with girls. I don't want to do this.
B: Listen Arjun. I am not going to force you but this is best for you.
Ar: Ok sir. If you think that it is the best option,then I will do it.
B: That's the spirit Arjun.Come to the headquarters now and you will get the instructions.You will be appointed by tomorrow.
Arjun agreed and then ended the call.He sighed and said with a sarcastic smile"Wow! What a life!"He got up from his seat and started for the headquarters.
[]AT DIB HEADQUARTERS:
Arjun listened to his boss silently as he gave him instructions.
BOSS: Arjun, you will join tomorrow.
Arjun nodded and left the headquarters.
[]AT MISHRA MANSION:
Radhika was restlessly walking around in her room in a disturbed state. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door and turned around. Armaan entered and came near Radhika and kissed on her forehead "How is my angel?" Radhika hugged him and said "Papa,don't you have a little bit of time for me? Do you know how much I miss you?" Armaan gave a deep sigh and said "I am sorry sweetheart. Your dad also wants to spend time with you. But what to do? I need to handle the business." Radhika raised her head and said"It's ok papa. Don't be sad.I understand"Armaan smiled at her and said"My sensible daughter!"He took a pause and then said"Dear, I need to talk to you about something important. "Radhika's smile faded and she said with a bothered face"I know what you want to say. Mrs. Mishra;I mean sorry, mom wants to appoint a bodyguard for me?"Armaan said with a sad smile"Sweetie, you know Monica is very stubborn right? Even if I deny,she won't listen to me." Radhika said "It's ok papa.
I am ready. Do whatever you think is right. " Armaan said with a smile "That's like my girl. I have already appointed one and he seems to be really experienced. He will continue his job from tomorrow. You will get to meet him then" Radhika nodded her head disappointedly.
Arjun arrived at the Mishra mansion the next day.He went inside and met Radhika's parents.They talked with Arjun and were really impressed with him. By that time Radhika too arrived and as soon as Arjun saw her, he just continued staring at her. Radhika was in a very simple attire but to Arjun it seemed like an angel was coming towards him. Arjun in order to assemble himself moved his eyes away. He was confused with his own behaviour. He never had this kind of feeling seeing any other girl before. His heart skipped a beat right at the very moment he saw Radhika and now it was beating very fast. He wasn't able to match his sight with Radhika being totally mesmerised seeing her.
On the other hand, Radhika was embarrassed by Arjun's constant staring at her. But unknowingly she too liked it. She was also lost in his eyes.Those big beautiful eyes which were staring her with an unknown passion in them. Radhika came near Arjun and spreading her hand towards him said "Hi,I am Radhika. " Arjun was still unable to look straight into her eyes. Unable to understand what was going on with him,he became angry on himself and out of that anger he rudely said "Hello mam. My name is Arjun and I hope that I will be able to do my job properly." Radhika was a bit shocked and also annoyed by his behaviour but she kept silent. Arjun was taken to his room by a servant. Radhika straight away went to Monica and said "I need to talk to you."
[]IN THE HALL:
Radhika and Monica were having an argument:
Monica: I didn't ask for your permission Radhika. You will have a bodyguard from now on and that's final.
Radhika: Mrs. Mishra(suddenly looked at Armaan and stopped)I mean mom,I don't have any problem with your decision. It's just that I don't want this guy to be my bodyguard. I mean he is so rude and I can't handle this.
Monica: He is not rude Radhika. He is just strict. And bodyguards should be like this. Why do you have a problem? He is just a bodyguard. Who's saying that you need to romance with him?
Radhika:(in a disgusted tone) You know what, it is useless to talk with you.
Radhika left the room crying.
Monica: See! See how she behaves?
Armaan: You are impossible Monica!
Saying; he too left the hall.
The next day Radhika got ready for her university and came out of her room. She was just walking through the corridor peeking into her bag;checking if she missed anything. She didn't notice that Arjun was coming from the opposite direction. Arjun didn't notice her also since he was busy with his phone. They bumped into each other and Radhika lost her balance and was about to fall when Arjun caught hold of her. Arjun was holding Radhika by her waist and she was grabbing his shoulder tightly. They both were lost in each other's eyes as if they were hypnotised. After sometime when they realised their
positions,they assembled themselves and both were very embarrassed. Arjun started
stammering "Um..uh..it's getting late for your classes. Let's get going." Radhika nodded silently and then followed Arjun to the car.
