MADHUBALA - REMEMBER ME

Part 2

NARRATION OF MADHU

As soon as the man at the door shouted Trishna Malik, RK frowned. That girl is never going to change. He looked at the door sighing deeply and stood rooted to his place when he first saw her. She is not Trishna Malik. Then who is she? Next he saw everything in a daze when she walked to stand in front of lights and camera, acted and when she mourned the death of the hero in the film his heart cried with her. Stop please'.somebody stop her' why was she crying? Hero actually didn't die in the movie. Then why? She wasn't stopping and he didn't have anything to make her stop. So he shouted that she wasn't doing it properly and should stop here, keeping his whereabouts in mind.

As Madhu stopped in front of the selectors she made a face watching RK sitting and glaring at her. She ignored his stares and acted as mentioned in the scene provided to all girls. She was giving her audition when RK interrupted saying she wasn't doing it properly and she frowned. She had delivered her dialogues so skillfully that even the producer and casting director agreed with her that she was excellent. But why was he overlooking her?

"I have done it properly Sir." She defended frowning at him to stop her in the middle. She knew they were not going to cast her but this man insulted her and words came out of her mouth unknowingly. She didn't want to come here either but it was Trishna who had sent her here and it was all because of a stupid bet.

Trishna was a big fan of The Superstar RK. And when she heard RK was coming to Natraj Studio she danced without rain. Madhu tried to stop her but failed. "Madhu last time please." She pouted her mouth like a child and Madhu smiled but frowned within a second at attempt of her elder sister to melt Madhu and consent to let her go to the auditions. "No Didu, I am not letting you go there. You said it last 8 times too and he had already insulted you enough. You are not going anywhere. He is not going to cast you in a film opposite him." Madhu tried to explain her but Trishna's soul was not in her body now. "I am your elder sister and you can't order me around." Madhu rolled her eyes at her sister's tantrums and continued holding Trishna's hands. "Didu you gave 49 auditions for his films and he rejected you for each. Don't let it be your half century. Even film industry knows that you stalk RK. He is not going to take you.".."And he is going to take you right?" anger flared in Trishna's eyes but Madhu knew it was entirely his fault. No RK and no anger. "No I am not saying this Didu. You know I don't like Film Industry. Please Didu don't go in there and don't let him humiliate you. Please." Madhu pleaded joining her hands. "Fine I won't try to do this if you go in there." Trishna knew her sister hated this industry and she was never going to accept whatever she was offering and that smoothened her way. "What do you mean?" asked Madhu perplexed. "I mean you go in there and if he casts you in this film then I am not going to try for his films' auditions ever." Trishna spread her hands a little to explain her and Madhu's face frown lines smoothened. She knew what her sister was doing so she decided to play safe. At least she would be safe from him for one audition but this was enough for now. "Alright what I have to do?"

********************

Someone hitting her on her chest pulled her out of whatever she was thinking. She felt something warm and as realization clouded her mind she found Trishna shouting in her ears. She was continuously praising her, crying in the process. But why? What did she do to that much love from her sister? And then she heard the shocking revelation. "Madhu they selected you!!! They confirmed you on the spot!!! Oh My God!!!" And then Madhu realized she was living in a shock state since 20 minutes. Her mind cleared the clouds and she remembered being selected and then walking out with a daze. And then she remembered what happened when they found out she was not Trishna.

"She is not Trishna Malik." RK voiced out and Madhu's head jerked up.

"Yes, I am not Trishna Malik. I am Madhubala Malik. It was just a bet with my sister, Trishna. I am sorry for wasting your time." She turned to walk out of the room when she heard him. As she uttered her name, he felt something deep in his heart. "Madhubala." He whispered lost somewhere and smiled.

"We found our heroine Dahiyaji. Cast her. She is fresh and unlike her sister she seems less annoying. Also she suits the role." RK pointed his finger at her addressing Dahiyaji, the casting director. Her eyes widened as she saw Dahiyaji nodding in response happily. His face expressions conveyed he was going to do the same if RK had denied.

"Who's your manager?" asked the producer after instructing the man at the door to tell him to not to send girls. They had found their heroine. Madhu who was in a shock uttered a name before walking out. "Trishna Malik."

Trishna was making tea for her and Madhu when her phone rang to change their lives. She picked up stirring the tea. "Hello."

"Trishna Malik?"

"Yes."

"I am Rajesh Kapoor, producer of Falak Tak. Are you the manager of Madhubala Malik? She gave us your name and we found your number in your form." Hearing this Trishna almost jumped in excitement. Her phone almost fell out of her hands but she caught it on time. She gulped hard before stabling herself.

"Yeah it's okay. You called me for something." She answered calmly not wanting to sound desperate.

"Sorry if I am disturbing you but I want to cast Madhubala Malik in my film Falak Tak with RK. So can we meet and discuss the possibilities at Taj hotel at 7 tonight."

"Yeah sure why not. I'll be there." She could not believe that they called for her little sister. She was on cloud nine and turned off the knob to run inside her room to choose a dress to wear tonight. She thought to let Madhu know about this but she knew her sister very well. So she decided to meet the producer first and smiled widely thinking what to wear.

*******************************

"You did what? How can you do this to me and after all what he did to you?" Madhu almost shouted in shock.

"Please Madhu trust me and sign this film. How many times an opportunity like this knocks at door?" Trishna held her hand and made her to sit on the bed. She sat near Madhu and told her to calm down.

"But Didu I won that bet. You told me to go in there and be selected not sign that film." Madhu shook her head to whatever her sister was forcing her to do. Yes forcing. She didn't want to do this. She hated this and specially RK.

"I know Madhu. But you did this in your first attempt what I was trying to do for years. And this way we can arrange money for Roma's chemo therapy also." Trishna threw the ultimate bomb on her. She knew her sister would say yes for everything related to Roma. They needed money and this was the only chance for them to bring their life on the right track. "Think about it Madhu. We need money for her. Sign this film and maybe our lives will change." She reasoned with Madhu and left her alone for some time to give her the time and space she needed at this time.

*****************************

"Sign here and here." The lawyer marked some places for her on the papers and she signed them.

"Congratulation for your first movie Madhubalaji and here is your signing amount." Rajesh Kapoor wished her while the lawyer handed over the bag of money to Trishna. "Exactly 10 Lacs. And rest of the amount will be transferred to your account shortly after shooting starts as mentioned in the contract."

"No issue Sir." The lawyer of Madhubala and Trishna spoke for the last time before leaving his seat.

Madhubala and Trishna followed their lawyer outside when Madhu remembered something. "Oh Didu I forgot my purse at the table. Wait for me outside I will catch you in a minute."

"Okay but come fast." Trishna followed their lawyer outside when RK entered the building.

"Chief, the producer is here." A short and round man was following RK silently till that time. "Bittuji, I am tired. Let's go home and tell the producer to meet me at my home." RK yawned loudly stretching his hands.

"Chief, Madhubalaji is here too so I thought it would be nice to know her better so that you can start your shooting comfortably with her." While Bittuji uttered those words, RK looked at him sharply. "What? She's here. Okay let's meet her." RK smirked once before stepping towards the living room impatiently leading Bittuji to follow him quickly. They were walking through the living room door when he hit someone at the door.

"Aahhh!! Can't you watch where you walk?" The lady rubbed her hand on her forehead looking down when world for RK froze. She was none other than Madhubala, the girl he liked from their very first meeting unknown of the fact that the girl hated him from the core of her heart and to change that feeling he had to go a long way. The way she was rubbing her head amazed him while her lowered eyes were something to watch. Her scarf was fluttering with the little air that was blowing through the door and the way she was dressed he suddenly grew an urge to kiss palms of her stylist. Suddenly she looked at him and she lost her words. She looked more beautiful with her widened eyes full of shock and he smiled at her reaction.

As soon as she noticed him smiling her heart stopped. A merciless man with no heart could smile like the pure water of a cold stream. Never in her dreams or in the world she had seen so much beauty in anything. She wanted to know the reason of that smile but her mind covered her heart and she raised her eyebrow at his reaction.

He wanted to laugh at her raised brows but he controlled and words rushed out of his mouth unknowingly "I am sorry." He apologized and heard a gasp from his back. He knew who was there and his mind started to find an excuse for his apology not knowing that he was going to need more excuses in near future frequently.

"It's okay."said Madhubala before leaving while RK stared at her open mouthed. She was the first one on whom his charms didn't work even his smile, in oblivion that it was just the beginning and she was as affected from him that he was from her. A new beginning awaits them that would heal their broken hearts and pains of their pasts.

Hey.. Where r the remaining parts of the story. M unable to see them.

Part 3

"How is Roma, Doctor?" asked Trishna when he came out of the room.

"She is fine. Please come to my room. I want to discuss something important with you." He answered walking to his room while Madhubala and Roma followed him. They entered his room and took seats.

"See Trishna, it's good that we came to know about this at its early stage so she's going to be fine after some chemo sessions. But it's going to take time and money and you have to keep patience with her." said the doctor.

"Yes doctor we have money and everything. But Roma will be alright yes?" asked Madhubala this time holding Trishna's hand for the support.

"Yes Madhu she's going to be fine. But after the therapy she may have side effects like nausea or anxiety so don't panic at that time. Okay?" He assured them while checking something on his notes.

"When can we take her?" asked Madhu smiling while looking at her sister.

"After few hours. You can stay with her if you want to unless she could get bored in those hours. After the infusion you can take her okay. And these are some medicines if she feels those side effects." He wrote on the prescription and handed it to Trishna.

They came out of the doctor's cabin when Madhu again collided with someone at the door. "Aahhh.." she looked up to meet those eyes again she met almost a week ago. "You? Is this your hobby? To hit someone again and again on the same spot?" She said while rubbing her head.

"I was going straight you were the one who hit me." This time he lost his control. She messed with him at the time when he was already in a bad mood. He didn't want to shout at her but she left him with no choice. "Leave it. I don't have time to talk to you." Without waiting for her answer he rushed straight again followed by Bittuji.

Trishna looked at Madhu and raised her brows. "What?" Madhu looked at her expressions rubbing her head. "I met him last week at producer's place and he hit me with his head at the same place. I didn't say anything to him at that time but not today Didu."

Trishna shook her head at her sister and said. "He's going to work with you. At least keep your anger at bay."

"With him. No never. He deserves it." She looked at the place where he had disappeared a minute ago. Trishna followed her gaze and shook her head again. "He is in a hospital Madhu. What do you expect? Maybe his family or a relative is here. Maybe you didn't notice but he was in a hurry."

"I know you like him but it doesn't mean that he is a pure soul. You don't know what he did to an old man at one of his shooting. I was there Didu. He is heartless." She huffed shaking her head before leaving for Roma's room. But somewhere in her mind she knew her sister was right. Maybe he was here to see someone. And maybe he was in a bad mood. She had seen some tears at the corner of his eyes but she was not sure of what she had seen. Maybe it was her imagination unless Trishna had pointed out that thing. But somewhere in her heart she had a soft corner for him and she was baffled with what she had witness. No one ever had seen RK the superstar crying.

PRESENT TIME

"If she hates him so much then how will they fall in love?" asked RK leaning towards the table to interrupt her. Madhu stared at him in anger to break her flow but she closed her eyes and muttered something inaudible. "I know. But a love story without hate is incomplete. And Madhu will come to know about his goodness in no time but it will take some time to them to realize they love each other, more than you think." She glanced toward the table where the reporter was sitting trying to fake normalcy but Madhu knew him. "That man on the table is staring at us." She didn't want to tell him that he was a reporter knowing his anger. She was aware of the recent incident where he beat a reporter who had come too close to his mother resulting in to fall on her. She whispered leaning on the table and RK's eyes widened with her closeness. Her breath blew on his face and he couldn't comprehend anything else. He remembered something and some visions blinded him for a minute. The vision was blurry but he knew it was his past and it wouldn't do any good to remember all those things that happened 7 years ago before that tragic incident. Apart from this he felt something else in that closeness like he knew that fragrance. Like his senses and his skin knew her but how. It was the first time they were meeting and there was no way he knew her. For god sake stop thinking about her RK! She is married! His mind shut the door for these feelings and focused on the thing she whispered a minute ago. He glanced at the side table pretending to search for the waiter. One glance and he knew she was right. There was something weird and different about this man. Untouched food was lying on the table and he was playing with his fork and knife. His mind worked quickly and he whispered back. "Just narrate the story and ignore him. I'll deal with him later."

The reporter knew his cover had blown from the instance RK looked at him. He stood up from his seat and walked towards their table. "I am sorry if I am interrupting you. I find your story quite interesting. Can I sit there and listen to the rest if you don't mind." Madhu jerked her head toward RK who nodded to her to stay calm and said. "Sure. I will arrange an extra chair for you." Soon the reporter was sitting with them and he introduced himself. "Hello. I am Ravi Sharma."

"Hello." Madhu answered politely and RK cleared his throat to gain their attention. "So Mrs. Malik, what are we next for?"
