Madhu's Mind : My pround moments & The Recognition
RK, my husband, always showers me with shocks, from time to time. The so called 'Dark humour' and 'The recognition' were the important events of this day for me.
Anyways, The Dark humour didn't go well with me. He never cares for my feelings, I thought. The way he coughed, choked, and gasped! God! He literally made my heart to cease functioning. He was a good actor. I was terrified that his health might be in danger again. My eyes got wet, as I tried to comfort my husband.
"Please call the Doctor, Bittuji!" I screamed.
My Bhabhiji never failed to utilize any opportunity to taunt or accuse me. She claimed that I poisoned my husband. She knows how to bruise my heart, by throwing words like arrows, and always hits the target. I became dumb and speechless. Now RK stopped coughing and announced that he was just pretending / acting. He sharply replied to Bhabhi and others, gave them a reality check. He proclaimed that he TRUSTS ME the most. I must admit that it was, 'My proud moment'!
'T' 'R' 'U' 'S' 'T'. He asked me to teach Bhabhiji, what trust meant. I remains silent. My heart was bubbling with various emotions ' Respect, affection, LOVE?
RK pulled me closer to him and we moved upstairs, he was holding me close, all along. I was lost in him.
"What was this man doing to me? I'm an ordinary girl serving my contract marriage, while RK is a superstar!" quipped my brain.
"Madhu, stop denying your growing affection for RK, you have begun to like or LOVE him" argued my heart. Lost in the conflict between my heart and brain, I realized that we had reached our, sorry, Rk's room.
I questioned him about his 'crappy act' he exhibited downstairs. RK claimed that it was dark humour. I was angry like hell. He began to remove his sling, I was worried as he grimaced in pain. I enquired if it was paining for him now, he made of fun of my concern for him and recited some filmy dialogues, I was annoyed. He enjoyed the annoyed expression in my face. I told him that I was not liking his dark sense of humour and warned him not to take it on me again.
"You know how much I was... " I blurted out and then paused, realizing my mistake.
I was not ready to admit how much I cared for him. I realized that RK was nearing me, and I was walking in reverse. He pinned me on to the wall and asked 'How much?'
My heart beat was 10 times faster now. My lips trembled. I was getting nervous.
"His face is brimming with love" my heart whispered.
"I'll get some water", I blabbered and escaped from his hands.
" Did he smile?" I wondered.
I took a bottle of water from the refrigerator. To my bad luck, I was caught by Bhabhi.
She unleashed all her anger on me, her words (arrows) are attacking me. She exclaimed that I was a Chaar phere waali Biwi of an incomplete marriage, RK calling me Biwi will not make me his rightful wife. She wondered as to what Black Magic I had done to RK, as he, the one who hated me, as suddenly become my protector and was battling with the entire family to protect me. I felt that it was true, RK ws protecting me from everyone. Just then, Bhabhi grabbed my Mangalsutra and screamed that it held no value. I was shaken. Anger, rage and grief engulfed me. I asked her to take her hands off from my Magalsutra.
At the moment, RK my husband (Savior) arrived on time. Bhabhi's face turned Red. She was utterly disgusted for the fact that SuperStar RK was arguing with her for a Chawl girl like me.
"Four Pheras or Forty, doesn't matter. What matters the most is whether I consider her as my wife or not.
I truly consider her as my WIFE" roared RK!
I couldn't believe my ears for a moment. I was shocked. I recollected some events - RK and me performing puja together, he defending me at various situations like a true, dutiful, husband.
Thank you RK, this will be one of the best moments of my life. The Recognition. Every woman expects her husband to stand up for her at trying situations. You are doing just that. You are there for me when I need you.
I have now realized that I love u.
"I love you RK"
I said to myself. RK, who was busy arguing with Bhabhi, stopped for a moment and glanced at me, as though he heard my inner voice.
