"What did you tell Madhu?" growled Rishabh. Mukund was shivering in fear inside but feigned an expression of ignorance on his face. "I did not tell her anything. Why would I talk to her?" he lied. Rishabh narrowed his eyes, he had always respected Bipin babu and his son, but this was a totally new avatar he was seeing in front of his eyes. Already the servants had assembled around the quadrangle hearing the commotion, where Rishabh had intercepted Mukund. Rishabh was losing his calm, and he fisted his hand firmly to check his wrath. Mukund saw Madhu from the corner of his eyes, standing anxiously behind a pillar. "I will not let you free so easily Madhu," he thought in his mind. Suddenly he gathered up a false confidence and looked into Rishabh's eyes. "I did not talk to her. It was Madhu herself who came running to me telling how sorry she felt to get married to you, and not me," spat Mukund and pointed to Madhu who was stunned by his words. He had thought this would create a misunderstanding between Rishabh and Madhu as she would never be able to speak in front of her husband. But before he could witness the desired wrath in Rishabh's eyes for Madhu, he felt a huge blow on his face and on losing balance he fell on his back. Immediately he was hauled up by his collar and another punch landed on his face. As Rishabh raised his fist to hit him again, Radha shrieked from behind, "Stop Rishabh! He will die. Don't beat him anymore!" "Ma, this rascal was badmouthing Madhu! How dare he say that?" shouted Rishabh and pushed Mukund on the floor. Radha rushed inside the quadrangle and hugged Rishabh from back and pulled him out. "Take him away. Call Bipin babu right now," Radha instructed the servants and dragged Rishabh to his room. Madhu was standing like a stone, her face drained of all colours. "Madhu, come upstairs, right now!" shouted Radha. "Ha Ma," startled Madhu and followed them.
Radha made Rishabh sit on the bed and gave him a glass of water. "Drink this," said Radha and turned to Madhu who was standing at the door with teary eyes. Radha came to her and took her out in the balcony. "What happened?" "That man...that man had told me that he wanted to marry me but because of him," pointing towards Rishabh, "he could not marry me. When I told that to him, he got very upset and.." Madhu trailed off. "My son has his father's temper. He cannot check his temper and would not think of any consequence. Do you know if I had not intervened, he could have killed Mukund?" said Radha angrily. Madhu looked at her in shock. "If anything happens henceforth, let me know first. Do not tell Rishu, he has no control on his wrath. Understood?" asked Radha. "Ha, Ma," replied Madhu.
As Madhu entered their room, she saw Rishabh leaning against the headrest of the bed with his eyes closed. She tip-toed towards him and caressed his hair slowly. Rishabh grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. "You will never go in front of any man in my absence. I will never allow any other man to talk such nonsense about you ever," said Rishabh as he hugged Madhu tightly.
Next few days went uneventfully. Rishabh had calmed down, but he made sure that Mukund would not enter their house ever again. Bipin babu was asked to take voluntary retirement and all his due salaries were paid off. The servants in the house were warned strictly by Radha not to utter a single word about the incident to the outside world.
Madhu was feeling very bored. After entering this house she had never stepped out to see the world outside. She missed her village, her friends and the river, which she loved the most in her village. She stealthily went to the terrace and ran to the farthest corner from where she could see a glimpse of the river Ganga. As the autumn wind blew, it brought back memories of the days when she would run along the river bank with her friends in her village, and sing along loudly with the boatmen, when they came to the bank every evening. She started humming a song she loved the most and unknowingly her volume became higher with the feel of the song.

"You are missing the river, aren't you?" whispered Rishabh as he embraced her from behind. "When did you come?" asked Madhu shyly. "Your sweet voice pulled me like a magnet," said Rishabh grinning. "Is that river Ganga?" asked Madhu pointing towards the river. Rishabh nodded his head. "Will you take me there?" asked Madhu hesitantly. "This is the first time my sweet wife asked for something from me, how can I say no? Get ready, we will go out in half an hour."
Madhu wore a beautiful pink saree and wrapped a kashmiri shawl as it could be a bit chilly by the riverside. Rishabh was waiting for her at the main gate. As Madhu approached him, he took her hand and led her to the horse-drawn carriage waiting outside the gate. Madhu was amazed to see the carriage, as it was the first time she was seeing something like that. "We will go in this carriage?" she asked excitedly. "Yes, come," said Rishabh and helped her climb the stairs and enter the carriage.
Madhu was very excited and looked out through the small window. She asked numerous questions about anything and everything that came on their way while passing through the streets of Kolkata. Rishabh was very glad to see her gain her exuberant nature and patiently answered all her queries. Finally they reached the Outram Ghat.
It was dusk, and the sun was setting at the farthest horizon, leaving behind the sky smeared in bright orange and red. Madhu was mesmerized to see the stark beauty of the ambience. She was completely at loss of words and moved towards the railing slowly. Rishabh held her hand and asked, "Do you like it?" "It's so beautiful," Madhu replied in a trance. "Not more than you." "Huhh?" asked Madhu, barely registering his words. Rishabh led her to the place where the small boats were waiting. "Hey you, we want to go for an hour ride in the river," told Rishabh to the boatman. "Ha babu saheb, nishchoi (definitely)," replied the boatman.
As the boat cut through the small waves on the river and move forward, the cool breeze fluttered Madhu's ghunghat and the small curls came all over her face. Rishabh caressed her face and tucked those loose strands behind her ear. "Sing that song Madhu, the one that you were singing on the terrace," said Rishabh while running his finger lightly over her cheek. Madhu was feeling very shy, but the sheer felicity she felt at that moment helped her overcome all shyness and she started singing out from her heart.
"Amay bhashaili re...amay dubaili re...okul doriyar bujhi kul nai re..."
"One hour is over babu," said the boatman. Neither Rishabh nor Madhu had realized that they were already back to the river bank. They were so lost in each other that the hour slipped off in moments. Dejectedly Rishabh helped Madhu get down the boat and led her along the steps on to the top. As Madhu was about to climb the steps of the carriage, they heard someone calling Rishabh. "Rishabh babu? What a surprise!" Both Rishabh and Madhu turned to see a beautiful dignified girl in a sophisticated saree approaching them. "Arrey Rukmini? How are you?" said Rishabh with a broad smile. "I am fine. But what about you? Long time you have not come to our house. Father was asking about you,' replied the girl and then she turned towards Madhu with surprise. "Meet my wife Madhu, and Madhu this is Rukmini," introduced Rishabh. "You got married Rishabh babu? And did not even inform us?" asked Rukmini with a slight annoyance in her voice. "It all happened so suddenly that I did not get the time. Anyway, please tell your father I will come to your house soon," replied Rishabh. "And bring your wife as well. I will love to talk to you Madhu," replied Rukmini and left.
Madhu was very quiet while going back home. She had never seen her husband speak so frankly to any other girl before. Rukmini looked so very beautiful and elegant, and seemed quite educated as well. Madhu kept pondering over her until Rishabh snapped his fingers in front of her eyes. "We are home Madhu," said Rishabh. Madhu looked at him for a moment longer and realized that for the first time she felt a slight pang of jealousy about someone else being closer to her husband.
