Chapter 5
As Madhu stood out in the balcony she took in a deep breath of air...she was more at ease out here. The air felt so refreshing...she stood still as the wind gently caressed her body...the moon created sparkles on her midnight blue sari.."She is so beautiful" RK thought to himself. Even though all these actresses are still talking and talking RK's eyes were just like Madhu's...always searching for her. He wish he could join her and stand with her on the balcony because he was getting annoyed himself...but he couldn't...making a hasty exit while so many actresses were surrounding him would be too much of a trouble..he didn't want people to take notice of his Madhu, for tonight if anyone saw how beautiful she was they would be entrapped. He was actually at ease that she was hiding out on the balcony.
As Madhu breathed in the air she closed her eyes..but everytime she does, the only thing she could see is RK...she missed him so much...his embrace...his eyes that tells her he loves her like no other. Tears started to form in Madhu's eyes...as each tear fell her heart tightened. It hurt so bad... Madhu felt as if without him there is nothing...she felt so empty...Did she really want revenge?..Would she be able to do it?...How??...She already decided it was so stupid to go seek a famous director and ask for money. She wasn't that desperate to be indebted to someone else. No, she will find her own way to free herself. Being binded once was enough..she did not want to repeat the same mistake twice.
Mr.Avinesh, in his black suit was scouring the ballroom floor secretly...he looked around at all the actresses and actors that were there. First person that caught his attention was of course RK. RK was a man that was hard not to notice. His presence was very strong. Even though tons of beautiful actresses surrounded him Mr. Avinesh could tell that RK's eyes were fixated towards the balcony. As Mr. Avinesh wondered what Mr. Rishab Kundra could possibly be looking at...than there she was.
He couldn't believe his eyes...a slender woman with her back towards the ballroom...her dark black hair dancing in the night...moon shining against her silky skin...he needed to have a closer look...he needed to see who this person was. Why was she not looking towards the ballroom or even in the ballroom like everyone else?.
As Mr. Avinesh slowly made his way towards Madhu..RK's eyes began to furrow, for he sees that another man has spotted his woman. RK's heart began to beat fast because he can tell by looking at that man's eyes that he has been enchanted by Madhu..and who wouldn't. RK's fist started to tighten, he so much wanted to run towards the balcony to claim his possession.
Madhu still inhaling the midnight air was suddenly interrupted.
Mr. Avinesh: Excuse me...
As Madhu gradually turn to see who is there, Mr. Avinesh was stunned. Even though she had tears rolling down her face she was beautiful. Just than a gust of wind blew and he could smell the scent of jasmine..so intoxicating he thought to himself. Her eyes were wide and bright..eyes that were telling him to go away.
Madhu did not feel comfortable as this man was just standing there staring at her. What did her want. Why isn't he in the ballroom but out here?
Mr. Avinesh:...um..may I ask for your name?..
Madhu just stared at him in confusion and annoyance.
Mr. Avinesh:..I mean...I didn't mean to disturb you..its just ...I don't believe we've met.
Madhu: Surely we have not.
Madhu than turned around to stare at the sky again thinking that should shoo the man away for she did not want to make conversation. But to Madhu's surprise he joined her on the balcony...standing side by side looking out in the dark sky.
Mr. Avinesh: The moon is quite bright tonight is it not?
Madhu: I wouldn't know.
Mr. Avinesh has never been in this predicament before. Usually people are the ones trying to spark up a conversation with him and here he is having trouble connecting with this beautiful woman. Even though she spoke a few words her voice was soft and soothing. A sadness in her voice...even a tinge of anger in it. She just stared out in the dark sky as though there was something there.
Mr. Avinesh: Did you accompany anyone here tonight?
Madhu still trying to ignore the man..turns towards him..now he could clearly see fire and anger in her eyes..
Madhu: Is there something you want?
Mr. Avinesh: Yes. Your name.
Madhu: But why?
Mr. Avinesh: Because I know every single person here except you. And as the owner of this mansion I do like to know who is in my house.
Madhu was shocked. So this is Mr. Avinesh, surprisingly handsome. She was expecting an older man in their late 40's but you could clearly see Mr. Avinesh was in his early thirties. She could also tell he was an arrogant man just by his body language as though he is expecting her to answer all his questions just because he has revealed his identity. But it is his house...
Madhu: Oh. I'm sorry..My name is Madh--
RK: Madhu Kundra! Her name is Madhu Kundra..but you can call her Mrs. Kundra.
Mr. Avinesh was taken back. But not surprised because Mrs. Kundra was such a beauty that of course she would have to belong to the biggest star of the night; Mr. Rishab Kundra. He could also tell that Mr. Rishab Kundra was also letting him know that this is his woman. And that he wasn't too happy that someone had taken notice of what was his. Mr. Avinesh was amused.
Mr. Avinesh:...Oh my apologies. I am Mr. Avinesh.
RK: Nice to meet you.
You could tell there was great tension in the air. Inside RK was burning with anger because Mr. Avinesh's eyes were still fixated on Madhu.
Just than RK reached out his hand out for Madhu...Madhu was surprised but she put her hand is his.
RK: Biwi, you shouldn't keep the host from his own party. We mighted end up being hated by everyone.
RK had a smirk on his face that was telling Madhu to come with him and only with him.
Mr. Avinesh has gotten the message loud and clear. " This is my woman".
Mr. Avinesh:..Yes..how about we join the rest of the guests.
As the trio walked towards the ballroom..Madhu could feel the tight grasp that RK had on her hand..so tight it started to hurt. Just than RK realized what he was doing and softened his grip. He was still feeling angry that someone has taken notice of Madhu. He knew that look that Mr. Avinesh had. The look of fascination...enchantment... RK will make it loud and clear tonight...that Madhu is his.
