A Rose and a Letter... An OS!

A bright early morning, sun rays shining through the curtains
slowly started to play on Madhu's sleeping face. She fidgeted a bit before
opening her eyes. At first she couldn't understand where she was. She got up in
a start to realize she was in her bed, in her home, in her chawl. She calmed
herself down and looked around. She was alone. Trishna was still on her outdoor
shoot with Roma and Malik and Padmini were out of town. She was alone. She was all alone.

The night before was the last fight she had with RK. After
forcing her back into his mansion, threatening her with his life, handcuffing
her, she couldn't take it anymore. Upon arriving home yesterday, after the confrontation
with Sultan, RK just left her alone and headed to his painting room. He seemed
angry yet his face was almost expressionless. Madhu left soon after, telling only Radhaji. She knew she had to listen to her head. "She couldn't'...how was she...what will..." Madhu didn't have any answers. She just needed to leave.

Madhu knew in her heart that she loved him. She will always love him and only him. Despite everything RK has done to her, she loved him, somehow she will always love him. But Madhu couldn't stay with him, not in that house, not without all of their memories constantly teasing her. But how can I learn
to trust him? When he said that he wanted her back, that he wanted to make everything alright.

But how?? Getting out of bed, Madhu started to get ready for the day. She needed to keep herself busy. She needed to keep her mind off of him. Getting dressed, she headed for the kitchen. "Should I trust that?Has hechanged?" Madhu grabbed a
pot to make tea for herself. "But how can I trust that he has changed if I can't trust him?" She placed the pot on the stove and lit the stove. RK said that he wanted her back, that he
wanted to make everything alright again.
"Can he really make everything okay again? Can he really take our relationship back to before the night he decided to betray my trust, to betray
my self esteem, to betray my love?" Things seemed clearer last night.

As these questions fluttered through her mind, her morning
tea was ready and not a moment too soon. Her head was starting to hurt. Madhu
sat down on the couch and turned the T.V. Taking a sip, Madhu rested her head
on the couch and closed her eyes.

"hud hud dabangg dabangg dabangg dabangg

man balwaan, lagechattaan, rahe medaan mein aage"

Madhu's eyes shot open hearing the song playing. She sat
frozen as she saw RK's latest film trailer on TV. It was a song promo. RK was
dancing to the song;

Her RK was dancing to the song. NO! He is not my RK!

Not anymore. I am done. I have had enough. I cannot take anymore of this!

Madhu grabbed the remote and turned the T.V. off. She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to

pacify herself.

"My decision was right.It was the right thing to do." Madhu spoke to herself. Though herreassurance wasn't assuring her. "I wouldn'tbe happy. my love was never enough. It was never enough to melt his stone heart. What are you saying Madhu, Rk never had a heart, he was born without one."

After RK left her that night, she spent the rest of her nights trying to convince herself that

all the moments, all the smiles, all the laughter, all the love- it was all
fake. Just a way for him to break me, to torture me, to see me suffer.

"Yes, i will always love him. But i don't want to...not anymore...I am tired of all this...fighting these endlessfights...playing these endless games. and for what?So he can continue to

enjoy his game. "

Madhu got up and walked to her cupboard. inside was a

picture of her and RK. It was taken the day of Padmini and Malik's sangeet at
RK mansion. She placed her hand over RK's face, touching his lips. The smile
that played on his lips...

"Was that fake?

questions upon questions.

"This is for you Ma'am."and handed the envelope over to her and left before Madhu could ask about the sender.

She opened the envelope to find a single piece of paper and a rose.

"To my Biwi,

You left RK mansion last night, you left me last night. Without a word. Was our love that weak that you couldn't evencome to me, to your own pati? I asked you for a day to prove to you that you belong with me but you still left. Madhu, you are mine and only mine. You belong with me and no one else. One day you will realize this. I asked you for forgiveness because I know you have a heart, a beating heart. Listen to your heart, its telling you its beating today only for RK, for me. I asked you to forget about that night and to start over. I want to take you back to before that night, but you left biwi. You really can't let go? You really can't let go and start over again with your Pati? Or is it because you don't want to? Biwi you told me that you love me and only me, but you left last night and I can't help but wonder is it because you don't want to move ahead in life, or is it because you want to move ahead in life, but without me, with someone else. You will always be mine though Biwi, always RK's biwi. What I did that night was a mistake, a huge mistake that cost me my Biwi. And then this Right Kameena tried to win you back again, I even asked you to punish me. But biwi I told you, that you have a beating heart and you won't be able to see me hurt or let me hurt myself. Biwi you left, but your Right Kameena, your Pati, your Rishabh is still here,he is still waiting. And will always continue to wait. Why? Because our love story is eternal, it is bigger than just the two of us. This love story has already been written, and your Pati will always wait for you because this man only belongs to his Madhu and will always only love his Madhu."

Madhu held the rose to her lips. Silent. There was only the sound of her beating heart
