You're Mine Now
RK rushed through the traffic like a mad man. "WHY?? WHY the hell has Madhu kept this fast for me?" he thought " Damn that woman!!! She wasn't well and yet she had to do this bakwaas dikhawa." He immediately felt guilty for thinking that. No Madhu was not doing any dikhawa. He knew she was not the type and that's what annoyed him more. She was serious in doing this fast, she was serious about their relationship, their four phere wali shaadi as he had told her. "WHY?" he swore out loud.
He had told Madhu that he wouldn't be coming but seeing Malavika fainting, he realised that Madhu was feeling even worse. Of course, being RK, he struggled with the idea of going home for a full 30 minutes before admitting to himself that he couldn't let harm come to Madhu. His car screeched to a halt in front of RK Mansion. As he got down, he glanced up to see Madhu waiting for him on roof-top, eyes full of tears. His heart went tight in his chest: 'Am such an idiot at times." He quickly locked the door and looked up again. This time Madhu was smiling through her tears. Her smile, the most beautiful gift in the world. She was very beautiful, no doubt about that but he was RK, a broken Rishu, unable to give love, unable to receive love. Looking at her like this, RK wished he could, he simply could stop being RK to give her everything she deserved.
He walked into the house to find his mother and Deepali sitting.
Deepali: Mummyji, you will see. That Madhu's naatak will not last. RK will understand her true colours soon.
Radha: I am afraid it will be too late then Deepali. Already she is keeping karvachaut and...
Deepali: RK doesn't believe in Karvachaut Mummyji. She will not be able to keep the fast well..
RK: I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU PEOPLE WILL BE BITCHING ABOUT MY BIWI. BUT REMEMBER SHE IS RK'S BIWI AND THIS HOUSE BELONGS TO HER. IF I CATCH YOU PEOPLE ONE MORE TIME, YOU WILL BE OUT OF THIS HOUSE.
Radha: But rishu...
RK: I don't want to talk to you. This girl saved your son's life and she made me believe in God again and still you don't trust her. Uske baap ne jo kiya, woh uske BAAP ne kiya, Madhu ne nahin. But let it be, aap ko to insaan pechaane ki bhi tameez nahin hai. Aap ne itne machar joh paal liye mere iss ghar mein..
With that RK turned and went up leaving the two women with their venom downstairs.
"Madhu.." She looked amazingly beautiful in her red lehenga. Red has always been her colour, the colour of passion, of love. Her hair flying in the wind, when she turned and look at him, RK felt something lock in place in his heart. She was his Biwi truly now.
Yes he didn't believe in karvachaut but she had fasted for him.
Yes he couldn't love but she made him want to change that
He knew then whether or not he loved her but he needed her. Needed her with an obsession. He wouldn't bear losing her.
Madhu: RK you came..I knew you'd come
She put her taali down and ran to him. She clutched him in a tight embrace. RK hesitated before wrapping his arms around her. He felt happy with her in his arms, he wanted to hold her here always
RK: Biwi since when you've become astrologer? And what's this new shauk you have of wetting all my shirts with your tears?
Madhu pulled away from him looking sheepish but he felt suddenly empty. He wanted her in his arm again. He reached up to touch a stray hair strand on her face and tucked it at her ears. He felt her take her breath sharply. "So she is not indifferent to me" he smiled inwardly. "Just like you're not indifferent to her, RK" a small voice said in his mind. They gazed in each other eyes, their breaths mingling, caressing each other. When he took a step closer, she blinked and walked back to her taali.
Madhu: RK, I need to do my pooja
RK looked at her from where he was standing. She was busy rearranging her thali. Yes he needed her with a passion he had never felt before. He needed her as the Madhubala who never bowed in front of him. He needed her as the Madhu who cared for him and took care of him. He needed her as his Biwi for whom he would fight the whole world. He walked to her slowly, taking in every detail of her, her eyes ' the way they were checking making sure she had everything for her pooja, her lips full, pink, smiling in the contentment that HE, her pati, was here, her hands ' nimble, agile working away making her thali beautiful. He took in every curve of her body ' a beauty beyond his imagination ' HIS, yes His Madhubala Rishab Kundra.
He wanted to pull her into his arms again just to feel her close, to make sure this was reality. He smiled.
Madhu: RK why you're smiling like this? Do you also need psychiatrist like me?
He let out a deep male laugh, the first time he had laughed in years now. Madhu looked mesmerized and laughed with him music to his ears.
RK: You remember when you put that accident case on me against your ex-fiancee...
He saw Madhu frown and nod. He smiled to let her know he is joking.
RK: Well you sent me some bangles and I told Bittoo ji then that I will be the one to put bangles in your hands and that's exactly what happened Biwi. You're mine now..
Madhu took a sharp breath and softly said: Yours?
RK: Yes mine. My Biwi, isn't it?
Madhu slowly nodded and again smiled at him.
RK: Now do you want me to put appointments for both of us at psychiatrist or will you do that pooja? I am also very hungry, haven't eaten since morning.
Madhu (tenderly): You didn't eat at all?
RK (smirking): Biwi you came to my shooting, you were sick, you didn't eat and on top of that you were doing karvachaut. Do you think RK would eat after all this emotional attyachar? I never had the time to eat breakfast at home even. Tumhare chakkar mein, maine bhi vrat kardhiya anjaane mein..
Madhu giggled like a schoolgirl. She stopped when RK raised his eyebrow and looked at her pointedly. She understood she needed to do her pooja now. All her pain, all her hunger was washed in those words RK had been telling her. She was his...
She completed all the rituals and as RK made her drink water thus breaking her fast, she took the lota and made him drink from her. It delighted her that she also broke his unintended fast.
Madhu: RK can I ask you a question?
RK: hmm
Madhu: You said I am yours so can I assume you're mine too?
RK looked at her, a myriad of emotions raced through him. He didn't know what to answer, he didn't know how to answer. She looked up earnestly as if her whole life depended on his answer.
Madhu: Tell me Rishabh, are you mine?
RK felt his breath choke on hearing her say his name. She said it with such softness, such care, so much...love. There can be only one thing to do in this situation.
He moved closer to her till he could hear her breathe. He took the thali from her hands and put it on the table besides them. He took her by the hand and walked back down. They got off the stairs with Radha and Deepali still sitting in the living room. He heard his mother asking him where he was going. He saw a fuming Deepali. But he had only one thing on his mind and it had to be done his way...
They reached his car..
RK: Madhu get in..
Madhu: But RK where..
RK looked at Madhu then. She knew she had to trust him and that this was important to him. She got in quietly and they went off. As he drove, he didn't speak to her. He knew Madhu was looking at him but he needed to stay quiet right now. If he spoke, it would ruin this..
Madhu looked at her surroundings and understood where he was taking her..they were going to the lake...his lake..
As they reached, Rishabh got down and opened the door for Madhu. He led her away from the car nearer to the lake.
Madhu: RK..what..
RK: Not RK..Rishabh call me Rishabh
Madhu: Rishabh..why...
RK: You asked me a question at home Biwi and here's your answer..
Saying this, Rishabh grabbed Madhu by her waist and pulled her to him. Holding her with one arm, he traced a line from her forehead to her face, brushed over her lips and down her neck. Madhu closed her eyes and tilted her neck slightly, savouring his touch. Rishabh bent his head and brushed his lips against her forehead, he went down to kiss both her eyes. He looked down at her lips and bent in slowly stopping just an inch from her lips..
RK: Madhu do you know my answer now?
Madhu nodded. She could feel the electricity between her own lips and his..their breaths were mingling together, the sweetness of his male scent engulfed her every pore.
RK: Can I kiss you? Do you want me to kiss you?
Madhu opened her eyes and saw dark brown eyes full of fire looking at her for her approval.
Yes...
Rishabh smiled at her. He brushed his lips softly against hers, a small peck on her lips. When he moved back, Madhu moved with him and he knew he had her sincere approval. He shifted and cupped her face with one hand while still holding her with the other. He leaned in, this time for a deeper kiss. A deep growl escaped from him as he heard Madhu moan. He softly parted her lips with his and drank in her sweetness. Their kiss was soft at first, slow, deliberate. Each one taking time to explore each other. Playing with each others lips and tongues. Madhu deepened the kiss after some time. A hunger of many days taking over her sweet love for her Rishabh. The passion in her speaking through her body. She thrusted her hands in his hair and pulled him even closer, urgency speaking in the way they were kissing now.
When they came up for breath, they were each panting. Rishabh looked at her from the corner of his eyes and smiling widely said:
My my Biwi, I never knew you had it in you...
Madhu: my dear pati, there are a lot of things you don't know about me yet..
Rishabh pulled her again in his embrace and looked at her tenderly..
RK: well we have the whole night and whole life to find out isn't it Biwi?
