Chapter 1
RK allows Madhu to drag him up totheir room. He has loads of questions
for his Biwi.
Whatdid she mean that Sultan is just trying to rile me up and it is another of his
disgusting plan? Does she believe me nowthat Sultan is not the good guy? He is
after her?
Once they enter their room, RKslowly disentangles his arm from Madhu. He
slowly turns her around to face him and with his forefinger raises her chin.
RK (slowly): Madhu'?
Madhu (tears in her eyes): You were right. Sultan is using Meeraji to get me.
RK (asks carefully): And how did you come to this conclusion?
Madhu bites her lips and ponders just how much of her conversation with Sultan she should reveal. With his volatile temper, she's afraid that if she says too much that RK will march up to Sultan and shoot him right between the eyes. Though Sultan deserves to be shot, Madhu has no wish to see her husband prosecuted if he is arrested.
Madhu (starts slowly): Umm'after we came back from the lake, I wentto talk to Sultan.
RK (interrupts hotly): Dammit Biwi!Why the hell do you keep running to him?
Madhu (glares at RK): RK are you going to let me finish before youinterrupt again?
RK reflexively tightens his hold onMadhu's arms. Staring intently into herbeautiful face, he immediately loosens his hold at her grimace.
RK (angrily): Continue. I won't interrupt again.
Madhu (continues): I was angry and confused at his phone call,at the things he said to you. I needed
to sort things out so I confronted him. I pushed and pushed till he finally burst out with the truth. (Tears in her eyes again) He is using his ownmother RK...his own mother. He doesn't
care about giving Meeraji her rights back as he was claiming. No it's all about HIM. He wants to take revenge against you RK because he lost me to you. (Sniffles) As if I
was ever his, stupid, disgusting man! (Pauses
for a bit and takes a deep breath, dreading telling RK the next part) He'he'offered
me his'hand'to leave you and be with him.
(Angrily) I told him that I would NEVER leave you. I ended all friendship with that Shaitaan and
told him that from now on his battle is with us, not just you RK. (Angry tears rush out of her eyes) He called
today to again compel me to leave you and go with him. If I leave you, he will end all the drama and
stop claiming that his papa's son.
RK (wipes away Madhu's tears): Now listen to me carefully Madhu. Don't give in to any of his demands. I can handle anything except for losing you.
I won't survive that. I don't want
the Kundra name back if it means losing you.
Sultan can keep it. The name
means nothing to me anymore. It still
doesn't change what my janam dene wali pita did. But Sultan will never come near you again. I'll
handle him sweetheart. He won't ever
threaten you again.
Madhu (frantically grabs RK's shoulders
and shakes him): RK? What are you planning? What are you planning RK? Tell me now right now! Don't you dare do anything stupid! Do you hear me RK? Don't you dare!
RK (grabs Madhu's face): Biwi'Biwi'Madhu'relax. Relax'ok? I won't do anything stupid.
Madhu (grabs RK's hands): Give me your promise RK! Promise me that you won't do anything that
will get you in trouble.
RK (comforting): Sshh'Relax Biwi. Have some faith in me Madhu, (teasing
slightly) your Patidev. I promise to you
that everything will be fine, everything will be back to normal again.
He picks up a protesting Madhu in
his arms and carries her to bed. He
gently puts her on bed, joins her under the cover and pulls her into his arms.
Madhu (grabs RK's collar and looks
at him questioningly): RK? Everything will be fine right? You won't do anything that would cause more
trouble for us, right? That's what he
wants.
RK (kisses Madhu's forehead): Relax Biwi.
Now be a good girl, close your eyes and go to sleep.
Madhu (protests): But it's only afternoon.
RK (nuzzles her neck): My Jungli Billi'I don't know about but I need
to recharge.
Madhu (yawns): Hmm'well a nap would be nice.
She closes her eyes and snuggles
closer into RK's embrace. But sleep is
far from RK's mind. No he is too busy
planning the demise of the man who dared to turn his life upside down. But most importantly dared to threaten his wife and tried to compel her to
leave him. Sultan must pay!
