"Sunshine...wake up..."
Madhu heard a familiar voice. The past event with Mukund replayed in head. Frantically, she shook her head left and right saying "stay away from me" but he only came closer and close until she was tied up against the bed. She felt someone touching her face, she wanted to scream but nothing came out of her mouth. Her mouth was dry..she opened her mouth slightly until someone poured cold water down her throat. That felt so much better, she thought.
"Wake up.."
Again she heard a familiar voice. Slowly, she opened her eyes blinking her eyes until they made out a familiar face sitting next to her. The room was bright, was she in heaven? NO. She can't be her mind answered, if she was than her devil would not be here. He deserves to be in hell. Madhu quickly looked around her surrounding, she was not at home. Where was she?
He smirks looking at her plight.
"Are you up now sunshine? Now, before you start saying typical where am I? How did I get here? type of boring dialogs let me start answering your questions. You are at my home, sweetheart and I brought you here"
He carsses Madhu's cheek only to be pushed by her. RK looks at her with a smile. She tried to get up but her every bone in her body ached especially her wrists and her legs. She sits back on the bed feeling helpless.
"Its weird isn't it..the guy you slapped yesterday actually saved your life?"
"how did you even know I was there?"
"I have been following you since last month so what made last night any different?"
He looks at her dangerously making Madhu's heart beat faster than usual. He holds her wrist making her gasp in pain but RK did not pay any attention to it. He pulls her toward him until she was half laying on top of him. He caresses her face stopping at the dry blood wound on her lips. He licks it away making her squirm.
"What happened to Mukund?"
"Looks like you are very eager to know what happened to your finance or maybe lover. I don't know if I should even tell you seeing you will be in pain hearing about his current state"
"Stop it. He is no one to me..."
"Ohh really? hmm interesting. Then I will tell you what I did..." (He opens his mouth to say something and stopped. He shakes his head with a smirk.) "First, lets have breakfast together then we will talk"
"I am not interested in doing anything with you. Tell me what you did or just leave from here"
"Madhu tell me one thing, did you mother eat spicy food while she was pregnant with you? Looks like I need to teach you pyaar ki baasha. Kaise baat karte hai loogon se especially to those that saved your life"
"Ohh you are right I should thank you. Thank you for ruining my life. Thank you for making me public nuscence, thank you for having my sister doubt me and most of all thank you for bringing Mukund's real face in front of me. Is that okay for you?"
"ahaan" (He sits back in his chair with a smile) "I could think of other ways to thank me. Let's start with breakfast together?"
"No, thank you. I don't eat at strangers houses espcially if that stranger is you."
She gets out of the bed ignoring the pain in her legs and hands. She couldn't stand to be there for another minute. No. Not in this devil's house who did eveything to ruin her for no fault of her own. Everyone was becoming her enemys and there was no one that trusted her nor she could trust. RK watches her leave the room, he made no attempt in stopping her. He just looks at her with a smirk.
As soon as Madhu stopped at the bottom of the staris looking around the whole mansion. She had to admit it was beautiful, everything was decorated beautifully; not one item was out of place. She sees the huge enterance door. She begins to walk towards it when she was turned around harshly. RK backs her up against the door caging in between his arms.
"What are you doing?"
"Not before you eat breakfast with me. You might need energy to go home in this hot weather."
"I don't want anything from you. Now leave me"
RK backs up holding her arms a little. He takes her duppata from her neck sliding it down to cover her ripped kameez. She looks at him shocked. This was the first time he showed any care, well besides from stalking and all.
"No one has any right to hurt you, only I do. Only I can cause you pain until I get bored. I had to teach that Mukund a lesson not to mess with my shikar." (He whispers in her ear making her shiver at the intestity of his voice, it was dangerous) "Now, you may leave but remember you owe me a breakfast" (he winks before walking away toward the dinning room table to have his breakfast)
After an hour Madhu came back home to get the shock of her life. Mukund was sitting there with bruises crying while Trishna tried to calm him down. She marches toward them in anger and throws the glass Trishna was holding on the floor. Mukund looks at her shocked with more fake tears.
"what nonsense is this Madhu?"
"What is he doing here Didu?"
"Forget him where were you the whole night?"
"Why don't you ask him? Ask him what he tried to do with me." (She goes up to him slapping him on his face shocking Trishna. She holds Madhu dragging her away from Mukund) "Look what he did to me didu. Look at my bruises on my wrist, its all because of him."
"Ohh really. Then how do you explain this"
Trishna throws photos on the floor. Madhu looks at the bottom in tears. She picks one photo up, it was of her tied up on the bed while RK leaning closer to her holding her hands. This was when he was trying to free her hands. The picture was taken at such an angle that it looked like RK was binding her hands. She looks at Mukund who was standing behind Trishna smiling while Trishna looks at her with disgust.
"Didu this picture is fake...RK was..."
"He was trying to force her. When I tried to stop RK he punched and beat me so badly"
"Didu he is lying. It was Mukund that was trying to force me. If it wasn't for RK then he would've raped me"
"Enough Madhu. You want me to believe that Mukund who has been engaged to you for almost a year, who never even dared to touch you until marriage is the one responsible for this?"
"Yes, didu, believe me."
Trishna holds her by her arms shaking her in anger while Madhu cried in pain due to her sore bruises.
"Are you coming from RK's house? Right now? Yes or no?"
"Yes but didu just listen to me first"
"You were suppose to meet Mukund last night, right?"
"Yes, I did. He had asked me to meet him in front of this old warehouse where he tied me up in anger and was taking pictures of me."
"Wah Madhu is this what I get for saving you? It is true you were suppose to meet me last night. I had called to apologize to you but you never came. Good thing as I was about to go home I saw you in a rikshaw. I followed you since you never go alone at night. When I went inside the warehouse, I found RK tieing your hands as you were screaming for help. I tried to save you but RK was too powerful for me. I was knocked unconscious and after that I don't know what happened. As soon as I opened my eyes i came straight here thinking you will be here. We both waited for you all night."
Mukund comes near Madhu holding her hands. She pushes his hands away in disgust.
"I know you don't want me to touch you anymore. I know you think that you are not worthy of me but believe me Madhu I will still marry you no matter what. We will punish RK for what he did to you. Trishna look at her bruises. These will be enough to put him in jail. After all, jury will believe Madhu or him no matter what since he has been following her around for a month. Its all over the newspapers."
"You are right, Mukund. He will pay for what he did to Madhu"
"ENOUGH!" (Madhu covers her ears in pain while crying. Mukund hugs her tightly as she tried to come out of his hug. He digs his fingernails behind her back stopping her every movement.)
"Trishna would you give us a moment. I would like to speak with Madhu in private"
Trishna nodes her head leaving the two alone. As soon as she was gone, Mukund fists her hair in his hand bringing her head back while she looks at him in pain.
"Listen to me very carefully. You will do what I say and that too quietly. Last night he ruined all my plans but lucky you I came up with another plan and to give you another chance. You will frame RK in this case and you will talk against him in court. If we are lucky, RK would talk to us before hand and try to bribe us."
"I won't do anything of that sort. You can do whatever you want."
"Really, not even at the expense of your sister? Last night, was just a fluke to scare you regarding your sister but this time I will not leave her alone. Do you get what I am saying?" (Mukund hugs her lovingly as Trishna comes with coffee. He wipes Madhu's tears gently holding her hand bringing her towards the couch. Madhu just sat there thinking about what to do and what is right)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wake up..."
Madhu opens her eyes in a jerk sitting on the bed sweating. She looks at RK who showed nothing but anger towards her. She was back to present where her life is still tangled where she is still stuck in the same web with no where to go, not even home to her only sister and mother.
"Thinking about the past I assume? About your betrayal maybe? Anyway, pack your bags. We are going away on a trip for a week. Although, I hate that I have to bring you with me I have no other option. I don't want you plotting against me again now do I?"
"RK listen to me...I told you before that..."
"Enough, biwi. Go do some packing."
"I am not doing anything. I am tired of being everyone's puppet around here. Not anymore."
"hmm I knew that the sherni inside you will wake up sooner or later. That is why I took the liberty of packing your bags. Now, lets go."
"I am not going..."
"Chief we are all ready to go. Is she coming?" (Bittu looks at her with anger as well making her feel more miserable. No one loves her in this world, she is all alone)
"Bittuji, how many times I have to tell you. Call her bhabiji with respect" (He says in a taunting way which didn't go unnoticed by Mahdu) "anyway, get the car ready we BOTH are coming"
Bittuji nodes and leaves to bring the car. RK bends near Madhu before picking her up in his arms. He carries her downstairs ignoring her yelling and her punching. Bittuji opens the car door for them with a smile. RK throws Madhu in the back car before sitting at the drivers seat.
"I will drive alone with my biwi..give us a chance to talk"
"Whatever you say, chief"
RK grabs the key driving off. Madhu sits in the back seat looking at him with anger.
"Where are we going? I don't want to go anywhere with you"
"I have a shooting for a week and guess what you are my personal hair dresser."
Madhu was about to say something but a phone call disturbed them. RK puts on his bluetooth answering the phone call ignoring Madhu. She just sat back looking out the window knowing there is no point in arguing with him anymore.

Mumbai:
"Do you like your wedding outfit? I know its not grand like you had wanted but I tried to make it as special as I could"
"Its not heavy or anything" (He looks at her with a sad and guilty face. The girl cups his face bringing him closer toward him) "But this dress is special to me because you bought this with your hard earned money. Nothing matters to me, I only need you in my life"
"I love you so much"
"I love you too. I can't wait to start our new life next week. It will be just the two of us"
"Me too"
