Our Destined Love (Completed)**

16 # Satyam's Threat

Third Person POV

In the elevator, she is alone, but her heart is pounding fast and mind is thinking about his and Samarth...

"Does he feels for me?"

She is wandering in the past when they met for the first time and fought, etc. They never behaved like normal people or friends.

Her phone buzzes and she came out of thoughts. She reached the underground parking.

She came out and picked up the call, "Hii, Uttara."

"Aari... You lied to me?" A painful voice of Uttara.

"What Uttara?" Aradhya stopped walking.

"You told me that Mr Goenka offered you a job." She said in complaining sound.

Aradhya froze hearing her.

"He offered you a post of his wife, right?" Uttara cried.

"Uttara," Aradhya shouted.

"Is it bitter?" Uttara yelled.

"You lied to me. Why Aari..? did he threaten you?" Uttara asked but Aradhya is speechless, she can't understand how she gets to know about it.

"Who told you about my marriage?" Aradhya left her with her questions and asked her.

"Everyone knows about you and Samarth Goenka," Uttara replied.

"But how?" Aradhya asked confusingly.

Did you check the online news? Did you check Samarth sir's social media account?" Uttara asked.

"Why are you creating confusion, tell me clearly?" Aradhya rushed to the car and get inside.

"Samarth sir updated his status that you only belong to her. And also your wedding photo." Uttara cleared.

"What?" Aradhya's eyes drizzle.

"And you know what.... problem is not your wedding. It's okay, you didn't tell me. It's okay if he loves you and you love him." Ittara stopped for a second.

Aradhya is still in shock. Uttara continued, "Aari... I went to Govt hospital with Mumma, today. I met Satyam."

"Satyam....." A spark in Aradhya's mind.

"Yes, Satyam. He came there for changing his bandages." Uttara said.

"He is injured from the day, you left with Samarth sir. And nobody knows how he was injured." Uttara is telling her without gasping.

Aradhya was glued with phone and her seat.

"He told me that,... that.... '-inform your friend that I know her secret. He is searching for Shivambhai and the day when he will find Shivambhai, he will come to bring you back." Uttara's words are screwing Aradhya's chest.

"Aari, please tell me, if you are hiding something from me." Uttara pleaded.

"Uttara... What to say you..?" Aradhya cried.

"Aari... Satyam got the severe injury in his right hand. It will take a time of at least 2 or three months for curing. His neck was also injured and he wore a belt around the neck. I'm scared how he got this much injury....." Uttara said.

'Are you listening to me?" Uttara said.

"Hmmm."

"People of the village said that he was beaten brutally by someone." Uttara huffed.

"Actually he deserved it, I don't like that bastard." Uttara is speaking continuously.

"Ari... tell me if you really think me as your best friend. Is there any connection between your accident and Satyam's injury?"

"I will talk to you later, Uttara." Aradhya hung up the call and wiped her tears.

She reached home and ran inside her room. She locked herself in the room. She laid down on the bed and she drifted off in her past...

#Flashback...

She came at home in the summer vacation after 10th exam. She is living happily with her family.

One day she went to buy some groceries from a small shop in the village. One boy teased her and said bad words for her. Aradhya scolded him for misbehaving with her.

But the matter isn't finished yet. Aradhya returned back to home but that boy was beaten badly. He was beaten by Satyam.

Once her brother Shivam told her that Satyam helped him when Aradhya was sinking in the water of the river. Shivam and Satyam were good friends from childhood.

But Satyam is the son of the village head. So much powerful person. All the freedom of money and power, he was spoiled.

He became alcoholic, gambler and loafer. He always dawdles here and there in the village with boys from the village.

After that incident, when Durgesh (her father) learn about it. He got angry with her. But Saraswati took her side and said that it was not her fault.

After a few days, Aradhya fought with Satyam for following her everywhere.

"Why are you following me?" Aradhya shouted on him.

"Hey, girl, keep your voice low otherwise nobody will save you from me," Satyam told her in a calm voice.

"So, what will you do?" Tell me." She shouted back.

"You will learn by the time." He smirked at her with dirty eyes.

"Don't think that I was afraid of you," Aradhya yelled and moved from there.

Afterwards, people were gossiping about Aradhya and Satyam. Durgesh and his family disturbed by this. Shivam tried to explain Satyam to stay away from her sister.

"Satyam, why are you doing this? You know she is my sister." Shivam said.

"Ooh, sister?? Really? I didn't forget but I think you forgot that she was not your blood sister." Satyam laughed evilly.

"Satyam...." Shivam shouted.

"I like her, I want to marry her, when she will be 18, I will send a proposal for her. And the son of the head of the village, where you will find better than me?" Satyam patted Shivam's back.

Satyam left that time and thought when this situation will come, he will deal.

Afterwards, Shivam tried to convince that they should leave the village. But His parents didn't agree.

When she is going to turn 18, The village head sent a proposal for Aradhya and Satyam's wedding. Durgesh is well aware of Satyam's bad habits. But he couldn't stand against the village head, Sudam Gawker.

He tried his best to deny this proposal but he was helpless.

He agreed for this wedding, but Aradhya wasn't aware of this wedding. When she came to knew that it was a day before her birthday. She fought with her family but who listened to her.

Shivam also supports her but Durgesh didn't have any option, he couldn't run away from Sudam and his family.

Shivam's marriage was already fixed with a brahmin girl. So he told Ardhya that we are not so rich that we can spend money twice. so your and Shivam's wedding will be on the same day.

# Flashback Ends.

Aradhya came out of her thoughts because of knocking. Her bedroom door was knocked by someone. She wipes her tears and took a jug of water. Splash some water on her face and wipe it hurriedly.

Again knocked at the door. She opened the door, Samarth is standing in front of her, she observed his worried look.

Samarth observes her cried face, he thought himself, "Is it possible that she didn't like to eat with me in one plate or I fed her?" He became tensed and felt guilty for his deed.

He wants to make her cheer so he teased her while coming inside, "So are you afraid of failing in tomorrow's exam.??"

"No way, who fails in the learning license exam?" Her mood changed immediately.

"Good." Samarth removed her coat and threw it on her.

"You should be a good wife and help me in removing my coat and tie.... and... "

"I told you, I'm not your servant or slave," Aradhya said with anger and place a coat on the stand in the closet. Samarth is smirking at her.

"So now, I will have a bath and you will make a coffee for me. Okay, Mrs Goenka." Samarth said in orderly tone.

"I will order a maid for your coffee." Aradhya's mood was already spoiled and he is increasing her anger.

She glares at him with anger but doesn't want to fight. So she left for the kitchen.

"And also a glass of water," Samarth added. She looked at him and gave a death glare at him, then left.

She made two cups of coffee for both of them and took a water bottle from the refrigerator and moved. Her mind was disturbed and continuously thinking about Satyam's threat that he will come for her. He also knows her secret.

She reached her room and placed a tray and water bottle on the table. She takes her coffee mug and walked to the bed. Samarth is still in the bathroom.

All of sudden, his phone buzzes. It was a notification for something. She remembers that Uttara said her something about Samarth.

She stepped back and took his phone in her hand. She glanced at the door of the bathroom. She fears, "Should I check his phone?"

She put her mug on the table and slides up to unlock the phone. But it asks for a password.

"What should be the password?" She thought for a second and remembered the password of the elevator.

The phone asked for a four-digit password. She typed '2102'. It's unlocked. She first slides down to show notifications and found notification of social media. She directly opened it. And what she found that pulled a land under her feet.

Her mouth opened wide and she covered it with her palm. She saw her one photo and written on it, "She is the only mine."

A shiver passed through her body and she hurriedly back from it. Locked the phone and put it on the table. She thought, "Why he wrote like this? Is he really thinking about me?...... But how could I ?..." She likes his post, he accepted her in front of the world.

"But maybe he posted this to show off only as he represented me as his wife in front of Jenny and Jacob." Her mind is fighting with her heart. Her heart is wishing that she should accept his love but her mind is arguing with her feelings. She is feeling embarrassed, Samarth confessed his feelings in front of the world, so she is shying, now everyone would think that they are in deep love, "How will I face Di, Dadi?"

'Eeeeee...." She screamed.

She couldn't face Samarth in embarrassment. She took her mug and moved back to the kitchen.

Samarth came early from office. It happens in the rare case. Dadi and Sakshi noticed that.

"Sakshi, beta. Now I trust that our Samarth falls for her definitely." Dadi laughed.

"Yes, Dadi. I noticed insecure and fear in Samarth's eyes when we fixed his marriage with Anaya. I think it was for sure Aradhya but for some reason, he couldn't confess his feelings for her, in front of us." Sakshi said.

"Yes, It is possible. Samarth is an expert in hiding his feelings from childhood." Dadi said.

They saw Aradhya is coming, so they stopped. Aradhya and Sakshi cooked food.

Sakshi is elder than her but so friendly with Aradhya, so she never feels alone, and they become good friends.

# After dinner...

Aradhya changed her dress and laid down on the bed, as usual, Samarth is working on his laptop.

Samarth notices her from hours, she is hiding from his gaze. He murmured, "All the time wanders like a tigress, then what happened today? she is avoiding me or ignoring me,... I can't understand this lady." He shook his head while doing his work.

Aradhya thought, "Should I ask him about that post?.... No.. No... How can someone accept a girl like me, and especially when the person is the Samarth Goenka, King of this business world, be can fine much better girl than me. Why he chose me? Huh... He helped you, it doesn't mean that he loves you." He shook her head.

She is well aware that Samarth always sleeps with her and she likes it. She broke the silence of the room and said, "You can sleep with me on the bed but you have to maintain distance from me. You can sleep right side, I'm comfortable with the left side."

"Huhhh, I don't have a hobby of tore my Tshirt by you." Samarth looked at her with a smirk.

She covered herself with duvet, she has to cover herself with duvet because she is not habitual of the Air conditioner. Samarth sets them at 16. It is like winter for her. She thinks about Satyam and drifted in deep sleep.

Samarth confirms that she slept, Samarth took his place on the bed and snaked his arm around her waist.

He rests his head on his palm and looked at her with love. His eyes are filled with love. She is in deep sleep. He pecked on her forehead and mumbled, "I want to kiss you with your will....... Mrs Goenka."
