It's been a week since Arjun spoke to Radhika. She didn't like this silent treatment at all, that too with her. She thought to give him some time to adjust to the situation he was thrown into. But the guy is stubborn as hell and was not ready to listen to her at any cost. What is she supposed to do now! She knew from her instincts he doesn't have a wish to speak to her even if she begged. And she is not of the kind who begs, well perhaps, she can do that if it means to save her relationship with her childhood friend and husband, no? Of course not, she snorted, she can never beg anyone for doing any favour to her. She should have to think some other way to make him talk and what could that might be is the very thing she should figure out. She was thinking of the ways to make him talk when the object of her thoughts strode into the room as if he is on purpose and she knew from his schedule that she overheard from his talking with Pawan that he has no meetings whatsoever that day and he is free to roam the streets of the city as he wished. But he cannot surely roam the roads as before, even though the minister who is responsible for his near-death is behind bars, they cannot be very sure to take his car and drove it by himself wildly. Why, some other person who is pissed off with his honesty in the assembly might do something harsh and harm him. She does not wish that and she has no desire to see him in that situation again, one time is enough to make her see what she will lose if anything happens to him. If only he talks to her she can share her fears with him, but the guy is as stubborn as her. She cannot wait for the day he will talk to her and their relationship will be back to normal. Has their relationship ever been normal? She knows the answer but she cannot voice it loud because she knows that will not be in affirmative. So she took the plunge of initiating the conversation herself and see where that leads her.

'You know we have a past and you cannot very well escape from that without talking to me?' she asked suddenly and loudly enough to break his eardrums.

She knew she is being a drama queen by talking loudly and wailing the words as if she has lost her candy in the market. But she cannot help it, she wanted him to talk to her and she will do that with or without her mother's help. Ah! Her mother! When she asked her mother for help, she took an once-over of her from head to toe and said to help herself, she cannot very well help a daughter who cannot help her mother. Why, she even thought she is exacting revenge from her for not intimating Arjun about her mother's arrival and she turned out to be right, of course. Her mother took every chance to show how much she was hurt by her behavior. What can she do even, I mean she cannot go to Arjun and say "Arjun, your mother is dead and my mother is alive and she wishes to see you as she cannot wait any longer to tell you how we are saved." Come to think of that, he would have strangled her on the spot even she is his childhood best friend and that would have left only bones of her for their eyes. Arjun is really scary when he is angry and she doesn't want to anger him. Well, then again, didn't she do the same? Angering him? She sighed and looked up to see that Arjun was waiting for her to continue on her mono talk. Bastard! All this while she is trying to get his attention and he doesn't seem to notice her and when she is in her own thoughts, he will see her as if he had not seen her from a long time.
