Hey guys! I completed typing the next update...and was too excited to post it... so here you go!😉
Secondly...I didn't do color-coding this time...let me know if this one is better or the one where dialogues are color-coded!
PART 13
Madhubala sat inside her closet, picking and throwing away dresses. She couldn't get down to chose any one outfit to wear for her appearance at IIT Bombay. Her personal help picked out dresses and showed it to her, or rather displaying it...acting as the live mannequin. For every dress, Madhubala made a "so-so" expression...sometimes playing with her nose making different naughty expressions rejecting the dress. Her help picked up a pink sexy dress which was tube-cut in front revealing her sexy collar-bone and at the back it was backless completely till her spine ended and gracefully ended in a little frock like frill. Madhubala took the dress in her hands and then went upto the mirror checking how would the dress look on her. She had almost made up her mind when something just struck her mind and she ordered her help to open her "Indian Collection" from the closet. Her help popped out her eyes in amazement...but quietly obeyed her order. She switched on the lights of the Indian Section which was usually untouched by the bratty Superstar. Madhubala herself got up and went upto the display of her dresses and took out a beautiful black silk and chiffon saree. She went upto the mirror and approved the saree at once.
Having put on the saree, she went to the mirror again and tied the strings of her sexy blouse revealing her sexy...and curvy back. Then after, she put on the lightest make-up she could possibly put on, which included a very light pink lip-gloss and a thick layer of kohl in her eyes. When she was done, she turned towards her hair...flattening them using a serum ironing technique. She slipped into beautiful silver wedges and wore silver bracelet and bangles. Lastly, she completed her look by wearing beautiful silver danglers which her dad had left her along with the pendant she had apparently lost. Now there was one more issue she had to tackle with, whether to leave her saree open with her palla' falling lose on her arms or carefully pinned up on her shoulder. She called in her help and asked what she thought of both the looks. The help told her honestly that palla' falling lose will make her belly look sexy and beautiful while the pinned up palla' would make her look formal and graceful. "Ohh no! I can't look sexy!! Kundra likes decent girls!" she vomited out unconsciously. The help got puzzled and asked her, "Who MAM!!" she raised her brows. Madhubala popped her eyes open and held her breath and replied, "Nobody!! Tum jao...meri keys meri desk pe rakh ke jao..." The help smiled very weakly and nodded and left.
Madhubala heaved a sigh of relief, "I hope she didn't hear it!!" She held her temple in shock and then took all her hair and collected it on one side and left her closet. She quickly took her keys, and her silver clutch and dashed out of her room straight to her car which she chose to drive herself. But according the Dipali's instruction, she couldn't refuse the security vehicles that were supposed to accompany Madhubala everywhere. Madhubala made a frustration look and sat in her car. "Damn! I am late... Madhubala!! You can't be late now!!" she turned on the ignition of her car and roared it towards the venue. In all this hurry, she forgot to keep her drugs kit with her...and she hadn't taken her dose ever since morning. The excitement to meet "her Alien Kundra" made her commit the biggest mistake of her evening...which she was still unaware of...
************
Rishabh sat on the plinth near the gate of the venue waiting for Shanaya. It was already time for the doors to open and all the couples had reached there on time. All of them gazed at Rishabh and made silent giggles. He was amused at this scene...and thought that he was looking that good to have invited such looks from his class-mates...juniors and teachers. Shanaya did come...almost at the nick of the time...but not alone. She was with Rajeev, one of the most handsome hunks of College. Rishabh was surprised to see her with Rajeev and his gang of boys...each of them with a girl but he kept his belief on her and asked her politely.
Hey Shanaya! So...are we ready??
Yeah...absolutely...see you after the Ball Rishabh!
Uhh...? What do you mean?
I mean... "see you after the Ball"
We're going in together right??
NO!! Who told you that...I am going with Rajeev...my boyfriend!! *she smirked and kissed Rajeev*
You asked me right??
Excuse me!! Tumne apni shakal dekhi hai mirror mein...kya pehen ke aaye ho?? BALL MEIN!! Just look at you huh!!
Shanaya held Rishabh's chin and turned it towards the window where he could see his own self. He was shocked at his own stupidity. He looked on his coat...which looked like a butler's dress...made of coarse...rotten smelling material. His sleeves...were a big disaster as well. They were frilled at the ends...and their color...was girly baby pink. Rishabh gulped the lump that had formed in his throat as he turned his questioning eyes towards Shanaya!
Mr GEEK! Ek baar mirror mein dekh lete...kya pehen ke aa rahe ho...
Shanaya! This was the dress...YOU sent for me...?
Yeah...but mirror mein dekhne mein tumhara kya chala jaata huh...yeah tumhare HORRIBLE chehre ko tumhe khud dekhne mein darr lagta hai??
Shanaya! How could you...?
How could I?? Well...thoda sa rewind karo Rishabh!! 4 saal pehle?? Freshers' Party... ek normal se ladki tumse poochhne aayi thi...asking you for a partner at Fresher's Party?
Yeah...but that was 4 years back!!
SO! You refused me!! Right!! So...! What do you think? Main bhool jaungi?? I was a girl-next-door but I changed myself...and tum... bhondu kahin ke!! NOW MOVE...and let me enjoy my Ball with my boyfriend!!
She went a step lower in her act and pushed Rishabh away from her way and tapped her heels towards the Ball. The other couples chuckled and laughed but soon went inside the Ballroom. Rishabh sat on the plinth removing his watch and unbuttoning her cuff-lings. He missed his friend Nakul at this moment who had to give the Farewell a miss because of a sudden demise in his family.
I am sorry Maa! I have disappointed you so much... You always wanted me to become a person updated with the latest trends...and I've let you down...I am sorry...
He sniffed loudly and started removing the buttons of his collar. Suddenly, he felt the touch of strange hands on his collar. He looked at up and saw Madhubala standing near him. He got up in shock and turned his torso around in order to hide his shame. Madhubala clattered her teeth and turned him back to face her.
How the hell have you let your mom down? Can you explain me??
Madhubala...you don't know...
Yeah...one girl...called Shanaya or something just came and ditched you for the Students Ball happening on the Farewell Party for the final year Engg. Students...and the reason happens to be a pay back because you refused her in the Freshers' Prom!! Is that enough for you to explain to me what is happening??
How do you know...all this??
Actually...I have a pair of eyes to see...and a pair of ears to listen...that's why I came to know of all this... *she gave him a stern smile*
Rishabh moved himself a bit away from Madhubala and started playing with his buttons...
I look like a nerd!!
Yes you do!! A BIG nerd!!
It's better I go back home right?
NO! It will be better if you crash the Ball...? what say?? Better idea??
CRASH THE BALL! In this dress...are you kidding me??
No I am not!! Kundra...tumko demo dena padta hai...for every little thing...chalo!
She took his hands and pulled him behind on the pillars...where it was quite dark and silent. Madhubala sighed, "Kaafi repair karna padega..." She closed her eyes for a moment and then said...
Apne dono haath upar karo...like tumhe punish kiya ho maina!!
WHY!!
Kundra...shut up and obey...
Hmm...
That's like a good boy! *She smiled as Rishabh stretched his hands straight up*
She examined him and his dress...and then very fluently, she pulled the frills of the lower ends of his coat off it...almost tearing it with all her mind.
Madhubala! Listen...I don't get one thing!!
Ahaan what!
Why are you ALWAYS ALWAYS...and I mean ALWAYS behind my clothes...??
Kundra...can you just shut your mouth! I won't take anything more than 10 minutes for all this...
Madhubala...one question! What are you doing?
Thodi si tailoring...! That's it!!
Rishabh sighed and finally gave in. Madhubala winked at him and continued her work. She took his sleeves and ripped off the coloured portion along with the frills...leaving behind only simple white shirt. Next...she removed the pockets of the shirt...which were pukingly pink coloured.
Ek baat batao...tumne mirror mein ek baar bhi nahi dekha tha na??
Nahi...dekha tha!!
Even then isse pehen ke aa gaye??
I thought...ki Shanaya ne bheja hoga...toh latest fashion ka hi hoga...
Uff...! Kundra...tum bhondu ho!
Yeah...that's what she said too...
I am sorry... lekin that's not what the point is!! Kundra...tum...why do you not reply back...us saali k**** k****** tumko kuch bhi bol ke gayi...and tum kuch nahi bole??
Woh...she's a girl na...how can I disrespect her!
Haye... *she hit her head* KUNDRA!! That Shanaya is a BITCH!!!
Sshhhshh!! Dheere bolo!!
Kyun bolu...I don't care...koi mere baare mein kya sochta hai...isse mujhe koi fark nahi padta... samjhe tum!! Woh saali...tumhe insult karke gayi...aur tum chup chap sunte rahe... uff Kundra!! Bade ho jao ab toh!!
Saying this, she continued her tailoring. Further she rolled his sleeves up to his elbows and then opened the first two buttons of his shirt...which started revealing his sexy chest. Madhubala smiled seeing the perfectness of his skin...yet again for the umpteenth time in a row. "He under-estimates himself so much..." she thought. The only thing that was left was his bow-tie. She pulled it off and let it fall like a simple band of black cloth. She put that band across his collar...and he looked a million times better now. Decent...and handsome.
Now you look dashing!!
Can I look at myself once...!
Kyun?? Trust me...I am not Shanaya...I've not made you a joker...rather you're looking really handsome...ab chale!!
Kahaan??
Err...Ball mein?
Are you sure!!
Yes I am!!
She held him firmly and dragged him towards the main door. He hesitated in moving in level with her...but she pulled him forward. At the door, the spotlight fell on Madhubala. The students clapped and cheered for Madhubala. She stepped forward but stopped when she felt that Rishabh wasn't moving with her. She turned towards him and nodded a comforting smile. Rishabh gulped the lump in his throat. Madhubala tightened her hold through his fingers and pulled him forward. The cheers stopped as they saw Superstar Madhubala holding one of their students in her hands. Their mouth dropped wide open. Boys swooned as they saw Madhubala and her grace...her beauty...her curves. The girls twitched their brows in jealousy and closed the jaws of their partners...registering them a light slap...to make them look at themselves again. Alas! Madhubala was in the limelight...and so was Rishabh. Shanaya frowned as she a completely new look of Rishabh...though she recognized the tailored pieces of the dress she had gifted him. Madhubala recognized Shanaya and smirked. She turned towards Shanaya and pushed RK towards the waiter carrying cream-rolls towards her...which smudged all the cream in her hair. Almost the very next second, she pulled Rishabh towards herself...and took Rishabh's spot instead...so that Shanaya considered that it was a mistake by Madhubala and not Rishabh. Rishabh shook his head trying to realize what just happened. Madhubala turned towards him and smiled and winked at him. Her dimples grew deeper as she saw Shanaya struggling with her hairs.
Ohh... ouch!!
She smirked at Shanaya who smiled weakly...unable to retaliate back to the Superstar. Madhubala pulled Rishabh closer and whispered in his ears,
Dekha...mujhe kuch keh bhi nahi paayi...saali...!! Aisa hona chahiye...tumhari tarah nahi...bhondu...!!
Rishabh was amazed at the way Madhubala cleared her way through the crowd...pulling him with her. He stopped back down below the stairs...thinking only Madhubala had the right and courage to climb up. But she was adamant enough...to drag him on the stage. She greeted all the members of the cultural committee and then took over the mike.
Hello sexies and beauties!!
Her voice didn't shake or tremble even once. She was confident enough to continue holding Rishabh tightly with one hand while she addressed the audience.
Farewell...ahaan! Freedom from the tyrant rulers of the College...the teachers...
She smirked at the row of professors on the side of the stage.
All the best guys! I am not a very...talkative kind of person...so no lectures...no guidance...I am almost your age! Well..atleast for the graduation students... so yeah...all the best for your future...and I hope all of you shine bright in whichever field you choose to. Thank you and enjoy the evening...
The students clapped...and the music started off. Rishabh left her hand and proceeded to walk down when she pulled his hand. He turned towards her and she said,
Ek dance pe Bas Haq Hai Mera... right Kundra!!
She held out her hand...asking for a duet. Rishabh smiled inwardly and accepted her proposal. The other boys clenched their fists...and this sounded like thunder in unison... Madhubala giggled...solving the hidden reason behind the sound and slipped her hands on Rishabh's waist.
Kundra...don't worry...just follow me!
Rishabh took a deep breath and nodded.
