The Party
"Oh Rk! I get so nostalgic whenever I shoot at some hill station…. Our shoot at Alps for 'Pagala Deewana. The cold… those nights… and remember…"
She drooled on reliving their movie shoot together, with the ever underlying hint that there was more to her relation with RK than that of just a co-star. It was getting on her nerves, Madhu fumed. The talk was constantly diverted to their familiar past, cutting off any need for her to open her mouth and that made her look like a dumb nit wit, who didn't know how to socialise.
"Have you ever been to Switzerland, Madhubala?"
"Um…no.." The question was so unexpected.
"Oh, Sorry!" the queen cut in before Madhu could answer. "I forgot you lived in a chawl and couldn't have afforded one! Why even day to day expenses must have been difficult for you, let alone a foreign trip!" she shook her head in mock sympathy.
Before Madhu could give a suitable comeback Amisha turned away, cutting her off. She stamped her foot in anger and saw the impact of it in the almost inaudible gasp from her side. Served him right, she thought, wasn't he the one who had told her to be nice to the witch and to behave properly.
And hadn't she? Hadn't she watched the PDA from the moment the woman entered … the hug, clinging on to her husband's arms… that smartly maneuvered fall which had her see thru pallu slipping and the cameras clicking while she was saved by the hero… she was sure that this would be the pic that would decorate most of the entertainment news of the next day's newspaper.
It was not like she did not understand that he needed to enact the role of the hero even in the launch party which was also the new year party but why did he have to drag her to see that chipku female? So he was doing a favour to his father's friend by doing the movie directed by his son. The son wanted to recreate the magic of RK and Amisha romance.
She was still steaming about it when she felt the touch on her feet. She moved her foot. Sighing inwardly… RK had this habit of stretching out and taking over her space too… the touch followed, more of a caress on her feet. She look at him and found his face averted, but his foot continued it's movement. She tried to move again not in the mood to be pacified, but he held her back his toes locking on her anklet. When his foot started to move further up, lifting the ends of her saree she gasped and spluttered chocking on the food.
He turned to her immediately, offering her a glass of water." Careful," he admonished like an attentive husband, " one shouldn't let the mind wander while having food."
His eyes where glittering with suppressed laughter at her glare. He started to rub his hand down her back, each stroke of his palm making a sensuous stroke on the soft skin of her back, making goose bumps to erupt.
"Are you all right, Biwi?" Devils danced in his eyes.
"Biwi?"Mz Ami was interested. "You call your wife, Biwi?"
"Haan, toh?"
"But why?"
"Because I like to remind her that she belongs with me," he lifted her face to his with his knuckles under her chin and rubbed his thumb against the slight dip just below her lips. Looking into her eyes, he continued, " Because I like to see the fire in her eyes when I turn claim her as mine…"
He chuckled, " She is fiercely independent you know." Then turned to Amisha, "Abhi mai apni biwi ko biwi nahi bulaunga to kisko bulaunga, Apni co-star ko?"
The underlying mockery seemed to be lost on Amisha who braved to taunt.
"Come on RK who doesn't wish for fame and money associated with the Glam world? To be married to the superstar of BW …must be an unexpected miracle for a mere beautician in an unknown parlour, living in some mosquito infested chawl."
"You seem well informed about MY wife." There was a thread of steel in his voice. "Fame and money is not the dream of everyone in this world. She has left that for the fickle minded for those are of the least priority to her." He took Madhu's hand in his, "But I am sure some might be missing the magic touch of her hands," he raised her hand to press a kiss on her palm. "Now I have the monopoly."
Holding her eyes captive, he slid is lips to touch the throbbing pulse at her wrist. For a moment the world around them retreated leaving them bound in the spell of awareness...and the magic called love.
A flash of camera broke into the moment. Madhu felt her cheeks burn in spite of the coolness of the night.
How did you like that... oh by the way forgot to ask...did you all miss me?😳..To inspire you to respond with likes and comments, I will even give a Precap😃
Precap:
"Yes Bittuji?" he walked out of the room and strode thru the corridors ignoring the glances that followed him. "What?" he stilled, "Where is she?" then quickened his pace, "I'll just be there."
Any clue about what is happening?😉
