CHANDINI'S POV:

I thought I had become strong, I thought he can never ever affect me, I thought the past will never matter. But I was rebutted when I started shivering seeing his spooky eyes run over me from the other end of the video call. It was gullible of me to believe that I was over bygone days which is locked deep down on my brain. Those days when i was helpless,days when his sight made me tremble like a dry leaf,days when i had no one to rely on,days wheni had no one to love me.The moment his voice reached my auditory nerves I paled, my hands chilled and words fumbled in throat.

"Baby girl, where are you? Are you not in home? Kavya where did you get her to?" he unleashed a stream of questions

It was Buaji who answered his questions "Pradeep how much questions you ask her, see she is pale thinking you are angry on her. Chandini had gone to wedding shopping with Kavya and now they are in café. Chandini spoke with me before going for Shopping"

If his eyes were alarming me, the lies buaji and Kavya uttering for his questions were throwing me in abyss. I know that Kavya and Buaji know the entire history but never in these days Buaji took my stance or lied for me why now? I completely zoned out for next 11 minutes, until Kavya pinched me and eyed towards two faces one alarmed and another expectant in her laptop screen. Time for me to answer his question but actuality is I didn't know what his question was. I gazed around in consciousness to witness my Arjun searching for me in the crowd that separated us. That jiffy made me realize how much ever I lack in my confidence, I lack in strength to overcome my past, this swine needs to be walloped for all his past deeds. I will do my best to bring him down in every one's eyes just like he made Di suffer.

"It's time for me to accept the reality and am waiting for you to be here. I want to see you in person." I was not sure what his question where but with this said i know he will be shocked at my change and excited for my acceptance,as if it had ever mattered to him.A glance on his and Buaji's shocked face I ended the call. Kavya was too stunned to react for my statement. I was about to leave towards Arjun when she pulled me for answers.

Before she could query me I uttered "Just like you and Buaji have some explanations to give I have few too. But all in good time. I want nothing more than to assure myself that I am strong and that requires Arjun beside me "Kavya's hold loosened making me walk away.

I felt it took eternity to cover the very short distance between me and Arjun. Till 20 minutes back, my plan was not to face this swine ever in my life. The original plan was to enjoy the 2 days with My Arjun before I part myself from him for my Job. Of course after meeting Di and family explaining my past and my love for Arjun. I very well know that no one will ever throw a tantrum for me being a harassed personality or part of their archenemy's life .It will be a shocker for Arjun, but he will be my pillar of strength like always. Now that I came across my own fear I had felt for that creep I must do something to overcome it. The past I had endured will always be part of my life but that doesn't mean I should cringe or fear every single minute it overshadows my life. I should overcome it and what is better than to face it directly. Sewing up my mind my eyes seeked out for his. As if on cue he turned around sensing me. Smile lit up his eyes writing the unsaid emotions of my love story.

His brows crunched must be because of my sullen face and the next second I was secured in his arms. The safest zone ever in universe -"In His Arms"

"You Okay Basanti?" his tender voice eased my nerves.

I looked up to his eyes and whispered "Now I am "

"Better blurt out everything before I get into one of my crankiest mood swings." Anu almost growled making Pranav come out of his thoughts.
