PART 3
Madhu found herself on the sets of Darmiyaan, once again unfortunately, the very next day. Mr. Grey, coordinator of her program, had assigned her to work with the crew so that she would get her basics right, to begin with. While Madhu had asked him why she couldn't work with Doctor Love, the English movie that was being shot in the adjacent set simultaneously, she learnt that it was RK who had asked him to get her on to work with him. He grinned as he described how big a fan he and the rest of the people of America were of RK, and how he could not deny RK. That's when she realized how big a star he was, and more importantly how Bollwyood had really expanded its wings across the globe.
"Welcome back newbie!" RK had this victorious smile on his face, while Madhu walked to his set with a I-will-kill-you-for-this glare.
"Well, I'm sure you have a name apart from the ones I gave you yesterday!"
"Madhubala! She is Madhubala Malik and I'm Trishna Chowdhry." Trishna interrupted excitedly. Trishna was studying filmmaking as well, and more importantly, was crazy about RK and his movies. Madhu had met Trishna just a couple of days ago and they had hit it off almost instantaneously.
Madhu had narrated her encounter with RK to a highly excited Trishna, and was quite amused at her reaction. "OMG! THE RK was here? And I did not get to meet him, all thanks to Mr.Grey who posted me to that technical department today. Darn my luck!" And all Madhu could do was laugh her head off.
Not that RK appreciated Trishna's interruption, but he was glad he got to know the name of the girl who was invading his dreams now.
"OMG OMG! RK! I mean the RK! Are you for real? Am I dreaming? Heck! Can I have an autograph please?"
"Sure love! Turn around!" He signed RK in style on her back and kissed it, only to see Madhu staring at him in disgust. He smirked. Trishna was on cloud nine.
He reshifted his attention to Madhu "Madhubala! Ahaan! That's one gorgeous name" Madhu gave him a death stare. "A wise person had told me once that beautiful women have a lot of airs." Trishna was still dazed by the kiss. RK continued to stare at Madhu. "But I see you have just the latter. Strange!" Madhu gave him a murderous look. "How dare you talk to me like that? Listen! You may be a superstar in that Godforsaken Hindi movie industry, but you are definitely no Napolean to consider yourself to be King of the world. Get that straight Mr.Rishab Kundra!"
RK was taken aback at this sudden outburst "My my! Calm down Madhubala! You are flying off the handle. I was just trying to make conversation."
"Look RK! Whatever happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Madhu and me are here to study filmmaking, and she's one helluva Hollywood fan" "Yeah I saw that yesterday" "But I love Bollywood" she grinned. "She was just disappointed to not see an English movie shoot, and she did not know what she blurted out."
"Stop it Trishna! I have not done anything wrong. You know that. Stop explaining stuff. It's not necessary. Let's go from here."
"Oh I see, so I still have scores to settle" he said coolly.
"Keep the scores to yourself RK. I have come here here for better business. So if you would excuse me now." and with that, she dragged an unwilling and dreamy Trishna away with her, as RK watched them chuckling.
The RK-Madhubala squabble went on for many more weeks to come. By now, everyone was used to their cat-fights. Initially Madhu ignored RK and his cheap tricks, but when she noticed he wouldn't budge a bit, she decided to be a Roman in Rome. Harry, the action director, in fact found it hard to shoot without this daily dose of bickering between them. Even Kate and Mark, who worked with the art department believed the same. They were highly entertained by how both RK and Madhu would come up with various interesting or shocking ways to annoy each other EVERY day!
The makers of Darmiyaan threw a bash for completing half the schedule.
Trishna begged Madhu to accompany her to the party.
"I don't wanna go Trishna, yeah you heard me right!"
"I don't care if you wanna go or not. Look I'm desperate to attend this party, and I am so badly in need of company. Stop being a spoilt sport. Just come with me Madhu!"
It took an hour of coaxing from Trishna to finally get Madhu to agree. Both of them looked gorgeous undoubtedly, but Madhu scored higher. A simple maroon evening gown that matched her personality and some pretty ruby jewellery, some blush, gloss and kajal to compliment her fair skin, and Madhu had transformed into the showstopper.
RK too looked dapper in his navy blue blazer. All eyes were on him at the party. Well, atleast until Madhu stepped in. She walked in like that cool breeze that sends a chill down your spine. RK was stunned to see her.
"Hello there gorgeous ladies!" he addressed them, as Madhu looked equally stunned to see a dashing RK.
Their war of words began once again, and Madhu was tired of it "I'm done with this stupid party!" she turned to Trishna "I told you I did not wanna come. Why did you pull me here?"
Trishna was in no mood to leave. And with what happened next, she would definitely not wanna leave.
"Care to dance with me Trishna?" RK asked casually.
"Sure why not!" Trishna was elated. RK smirked at Madhu's hurt expression. Madhu had no idea why she was hurt.
"May I have this dance with you Miss?" A weird looking guy appeared in front of Madhu out of nowhere.
"Of course! Why not?" Madhu did not know why she said yes to him, but it kinda gave her pleasure to watch RK frowning at them.
