Chapter 6

As Rishab continued to be seated on his thinking seat doing what he does best, thinking, Padmini and Trishna kept knocking on the door wondering what was taking Madhu so long. Arghh!! Why couldn't they just leave him alone. He was still contemplating a way out, not out of his PP ' Pregnant Predicament, but of how he can get out of the house and go for that OBG appointment without Madhu's two bodyguards. Truth it is!! At least a version of the truth they would believe. Are you kidding me? Like he would tell them that truth. Yeah imagine that conversation.. 'Sasumaa I am Rishab not Madhu. Our souls have switched bodies. So now I am in her body and she is in mine. Aren't you going to congratulate me Sasumaa? I am going to be a Daddy!!' There would be dropping of bodies. And today is not called 'Everyone has to Faint Day'. Plus who is going to pick them up and transport them onto the bed? Not him.. especially not in his PP. Well he could tell them, make them sit on the bed so that he wouldn't have any work to do. But before he could think some more on this, the incessant knocking and shouts from the other side of the door brought him out of his stupor.

"Madhuuu... Why are you not answering? Are you okay in there?" Trishna asked as she knocked on the door repeatedly.

"Madhu... Madhu... Madhu..." Padmini kept calling out for her. "Trishna go call Sudarshan Kaka. He can break the door down."

"Trishna... I mean Didu.. You don't have to go anywhere. Anyway the way you two kept knocking at the door, it wasn't going to take too long for the door to give up and just open itself." Rishab said coming out of the wash-room, cell phone in hand.

Trishna and Padmini just kept looking at Madhu. She sounded like RK. Only he could come up with such quips.

"You just sounded like..." Trishna trailed off. RK's name was not to be mentioned in this house. It was like the story Harry Potter where they couldn't take Voldemort's name and whenever there was any talk of him, he was referred as 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named'.

Rishab realized his folly and reminded himself that right now he was Madhu. And if he had to play Madhu, he would play the best Madhu ever, even outshine the real Madhu.

"Didu.. I am sure I sounded like HIM," He said with scorn lacing his voice, "after all I just got off the phone with him."

Rishab took in the shock that registered on both their faces and continued, "I decided that he needed to know that we are having a cute little chubby wabby baby together. Our baby needs his father and I cannot deny him that... Oh and Rishab will be picking me up and we will be going for the OBG appointment together."

Before they could even open their mouths to put forward a question, Rishab shooed them out of the room like he was herding sheep. "Thanks for the support Maa... Didu... Now I got to get ready, Rishab will be picking me up soon. And Didu, thank you for the breakfast." He said nodding his head towards the filled plate kept on the bed side table.

Phew!! He smiled pleased with himself. Yup he sure sounded like Madhu. Only she would say things like 'chubby wabby' and 'Thank you'. Maybe next time he should also include some tears somewhere in between.

Now for some breakfast and then off to get ready!!

As Rishab pulled out clothes from the closet, he realised he would need to wear girly stuff on the inside too!! Oh hell.. how was he going to manage that? As he scouted through the drawers for underwear, his guy mind began to go places. The last time Madhu wore this matching purple underwear and bra, the things they did, they would definitely get a whole chapter in the novel ' Fifty Shades of Grey, if not for a whole book.

Choosing a leopard printed pair and a white and blue salwar suit, he began to get ready. Hmm.. she seems to be bigger from the last time he saw her. Yup definitely bigger. Not that she was small or anything, but as they say bigger the better. Me liking!!!! If this keeps up, Playboy subscription you are on your way out!!

His thoughts still revolved around the size and availability of her assets when Madhu called. "Hey baby..." He said in his usual horny voice, the one he normally used when he had sex on his mind. Madhu knew that tone. That tone usually meant that they both would not be available for the next half hour or so, and that is if they were being quick about it. Rishab liked to take his time... hmmm ... lets just say exploring and he was very through about it too. He always made sure he was a through explorer, checking every inch, nook and crevice.

The very thought of it was getting Madhu hot!! She realised that she was having a predicament of her own. She was not expecting the rise of the 'titan', 'titan' being the nickname she bestowed upon him. Oh God!! Oh God!! Oh God!! She said looking around for something to help her in the current situation. She took the seat cushion and pressed down on the enlarged problem.

Then turned her attention to Rishab. "Rishab...," she said warningly, "whatever it is your doing or thinking, stop right now!!... You may still be in my body but don't forget that it is still my body..."

"Okay...okay.. Please don't start with the sermon now... I had hoped that part of you would have changed now that you are in my body. Having the privilege of sharing my brain and not using it to its optimum is so disappointing. The least you could have done is come up with theories of how we ended up this way."

"Whatever," Madhu huffed, "I hope you are ready caz I am here."
