Married By Fate

Chapter 13

Sam was hesitant but she had decided to repent and rectify...Sam could not bear Neil's angry eyes boring her soul she finally spoke; "Neil ....I don't know where to start ...but I am ready to bear the punishment ...can you forgive me''

Neil; ''It's such a simple word forgive....sorry...and you can get rid of the guilt...what about that innocent soul...who suffered the most...''

Sam; ''Neil ...I will bow my head in Radhika's feet to get her forgiveness...but first I need yours....I am alone without you Neil''

Neil inserted in hands in his pockets and turned away from Sam; ''Alone!!!....did you bother how alone I was for all this time...when you were enjoying your time with Arjun....but you couldn't handle me with Sahron and Radhika....tell me Sam...if I have no say in your choices...who are you to interfere in mine...ánd how does my forgiveness matters when my views on Arjun's motives and Radhika's innocence never mattered...you kept on insulting Radhika...you judged her character when I requested you not to...did you keep my word care about my friendship no you did not...you kept on seducing Arjun...and now you want to be forgiven why??? Because you can't tolerate the pain.... Sam the pain that girl went through....cannot heal by your one sorry...and you should be happy ....you can marry Arjun now...he will take a good care of you he knows his sister's truth...he is broken now ...go to him.... more than me he needs you... I am happy your love story will complete...

Sam; ''To go to him...I have to break my friendship with you ... won't you stop me''

Neil wiped his tears and laughed; ''It ended long ago....but for your happiness I will say it....you are free from me''

Sam sobbed she hugged Neil from behind; ''Is this bond so weak Neil....what will I do without you''

Neil; ''You will be happier without me...you should leave...I want to be alone''

Sam ; ''Neil I know you are angry ...but I will follow you till you accept my apology''

Neil; ''Not everything will go on your will...please leave'' Sam felt coldness in Neil's voice...she moved backwards and turned to leave when Neil's voice stopped her ; ''Sam from now on...please do not come to my house...whatever may be the reason we can discuss over the phone or in office...''

Sam turned once again to face Neil...he was expressionless...like a stone statute ....without looking at her he turned and went inside the house....Sam broke down....she stood there crying waiting for Neil to come and console her...hug her ...make her smile...Sam was confident that her idiot will definitely come after watching her in this state...Sam waited as seconds went into minutes and then to hours ....she stood there crying... and then slowly walked to the exit...got in her car and left...all this while Neil stood in the dark room...with his head and back resting on the wall...eyes closed and his face wet with tears...Neil's phone alarm beeped it was four...he had to pick Radhika...Neil went inside the wash room to get ready

Radhika opened her eyes and saw Arjun's arm around her ...Radhika turned her face towards Arjun...he slept like a child...he looked so innocent...Radhika gently turned towards him.... And caressed his head....her POV; 'Sir I wished....life would have taken a different turn...and I could have met you in different circumstances...I want you to be happy...one wish I want God to grant me today it's your happiness ....Sir after this moment...I will leave you behind...forever' Radhika kissed Arjun's forehead...and touched her forehead to his for few seconds cupping his face with her soft palm...Radhika got up covered Arjun and went to the other room to freshen up...Radhika changed stared at her image in the mirror...till yesterday she was Radhika Arjun Mehra...2 months back before her wedding she was Radhika Mishra...it was time to be Radhika...
