OS: The Mutual Revenge

The Mutual Revenge

It was the day of their wedding; their complete wedding. They had both dreamt of the day and were eagerly waiting for it. It had finally come. RK and Madhu stood waiting for the pandit's next instructions.

"Now the groom please step in front of the bride for the phere," the pandit spoke.

RK turned to look at Madhu who was busy smiling, lost in thought.

"No, we've completed our first four phere. Biwi, you go ahead and complete the last three," RK stared at Madhu who came out of her trance.

"Huh? No RK, you go first."

"No you Biwi."

"RK, I insist, you should go first."

"Ladies first biwi."

"Oh come on RK, just go first."

"Biwi!"

"RK!"

"Pandit!"

RK called for the pandit who stood staring at the both of them confused.

"Pandit, get out of here."

"What?!" the pandit stood shocked.

"There's been some sort of misunderstanding. We won't be needing your services. Now would you like me to call my personal driver to explain to you what 'get out of here' means?" RK raised an eyebrow while staring at an appalled pandit.

"RK! He's a pandit, speak with some manners," Madhu hit RK's arm.

RK smirked and watched the pandit storm off angrily. Then just as RK was about to speak, he realized that Madhu was okay with the pandit leaving. He stared at Madhu while she looked up at him with a straight face.

"Wait, RK, why'd you ask the pandit to leave?" Madhu questioned confused.

"Perfect!" thought RK as he realized his plan was still intact.

"Biwi biwi biwi…or shall I say, Madhubala Shamsher Malik!" RK smirked as Madhu's eyes widened.

"RK, what are you saying?"

"I can't believe you fell for my love act Madhubala. Oh who am I kidding, I'm just a wonderful actor, anyone would've fallen for it."

"No…no…this can't be happening," Madhu put her hands on either side of her head as she looked to the ground to figure things out.

"Oh but this is happening! You were stupid to think that I could ever lo…"

"You had a revenge plan too?!" Madhu blurted out, cutting him mid-sentence.

RK froze in spot and stared at Madhu confused.

"Too? What do you mean?"

"I pretended to love you to get revenge for the forced marriage and Malik attack!"

"What…you don't love me biwi? How could you do that to me?!"

"Really RK?" Madhu spoke sarcastically.

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow while gesturing towards him, in a way to say that he had done the same to her.

"What was your revenge even for?"

"The four slaps."

"Oh gosh, you sure know how to keep a grudge!"

"And supposedly you do too…"

"Why do you seem so surprised RK?"

"This isn't how my revenge was supposed to go!"

"Yeah, you ruined my revenge too."

"I could've sworn you loved me Madhu."

"I thought you loved me too RK. Unfortunately we were both wrong. Anyways, enough of this," Madhu took off the dupatta RK had placed over her head and she gently placed it down on the ground.

RK stepped forwards and suddenly held Madhu by the arms. She looked up to see her staring down at her with intense eyes. It was a minute later when she decided to break the silence.

"What are you doing RK?"

"I read somewhere that if you stare into someone's eyes for 30 seconds, you can fall in love."

"Are you kidding me? You believe that? We spend 30 hours staring into each other's eyes everyday and neither of us fell in love as of yet."

"But…you need to fall in love with me! Now!"

"You're crazy. Let me go RK!"

RK sighed and let her go. He kept his eyes on her as she straightened out her sari and her hair.

"Revenge from Madhubala? Ahaan…not bad biwi."

"I learn from the best."

"Oh stop it you. No need to flatter me so much."

"Oh patidev, I didn't mean you. I meant Malik. Did you see the way he came back to get revenge by attacking you thrice?!"

RK grew furious as he remembered the attacks. He grabbed Madhu's arm and began to pull her away.

"RK! Where are you taking me?"

"Back to our home."

"Why?!"

"To make myself fall in love with you!"

"WHAT?! WHY?"

"That's my revenge. You'll be stuck living with me for the rest of your life!"

Madhu stared at RK as he pulled her away. She gave up on struggling to get free.

"How evil..." she spoke sarcastically.

"I know. I come up with the best revenge plots. Now hurry up!"

RK pulled on her arm even more, causing her to catch up to his steps. She turned her head to the left to stare at him and his determined look.

"Here we go again…" she sighed.

"Oh shut up biwi, I know you love me."
