RamblinReck: Bound Together For All Eternity

Like the CVs take creative liberties and provide us with clunky plots, I too have taken a few (more than a few to be honest) imaginative liberties in this post.. So humour me, please... Happy reading...

He married her for one reason alone. Revenge. When he took his wedding vows he promised to make her life hell. He did make her miserable- with his taunts, with his insults, with his actions. That was him- RK. What he hadn't counted on was the Rishabh inside him who couldn't carry things too far. Rishabh always made him stop short of making her life hell. How else do you explain why he never took advantage of her being his wife? What better way he could have chosen than to ask for his rights as her husband? Why did he never do that? Is it because RK respects woman? I don't think that alone is the reason. She is the only one he acknowledges. Why does he always address her as his Biwi? To taunt her? To insult her? He who thinks so highly of himself? Does he think that being his wife would be an insult for any woman? Does he think that anyone who is called his Biwi will be insulted? Of course not!!! Willingly or unwillingly, this egotist egoistic man paid her a great honour when he made her his wife. He wouldn't say it openly, but to him his marriage is sacred. Why else did he say 'She is my wife! She is Madhubala Rishabh Kundra and I will never forget that.' What an irony! A man who married with perceived ill intention defending her!

Of course he doesn't forget that she is his wife. That's why he never allows anyone else to insult her. Be it one in his family or one who is in his employ. She is his to taunt, to insult, to care for, to nurture, for life. He doesn't give the right to anyone else. Her pain affect him more than herself. Why else did he bandage her legs the second time ignoring her protests? Like I said, she is his to take care of... How many husbands, who hates his wife, will do that? How many husbands wanting revenge will remember his wife's fears and not take advantage? Instead, what does this husband, who calls her Biwi just to irritate her, do? He says 'Sorry, I forgot.' He humbled himself before her. It must have been the first time he did that. He knows she understands him more than anyone else. And he allows her to take liberties on him as his wife. Why else did he allow her to bring and keep Bappa's murthi in his house, inspite of being vocal in his protests? Does he punish her for going against his wishes? Yes, he does.. By asking her to get into his bed... (Ha ha ha.. Sorry, couldn't resist the temptation..)

Why doesn't he throw things and smash up the place when she brings the mouli and the modak? Why didn't he insult his wife and the guests who came to their house for puja? Because whether he likes it or not, he understands the reasons behind her actions. He knows why she is doing this... He knows she is doing this for him.. For him. Only for him. He, who for the last 15 odd years had no one in his life who understands him, married the only woman who understands him. A woman who understands his needs to be reconciled to his friend... A woman who understands the pain he suffers in denying his friend for so long. How overwhelming for him! And suddenly he finds himself unable to resist the temptation offered by his wife and his long lost friend. He finds himself drawn to sing and dance and praise and loses himself in a trance. The next thing he remembers is seeing a hole and blood coming out of it. Drums are beating and people are shouting. But he can still hear his wife calling his name. He sees her teary pleading eyes. He doesn't have the strength to open his eyes, but he cant resist the temptation to open them and see her once more. To see this woman whom he bound to himself for revenge. There is silence again... Then from a distance he once more hears her angry voice telling him to call her his Biwi... How can he leave her? How can he allow her to leave him? This magnificient woman... His wife...

Thanks to all of you who patiently read my romantic ramblings... All of you must be mighty impatient to get rid of those damn pillows, right? Those who dont want them to throw away the pillows, please indicate so in your reply. Thanks.

Sonu,

Lovely 😊 Romantic it is ☺️

And special mention to these lines. Great feeling!. The CVs failed to show it to us. But you have put it together..
