saying that they were happy whould be an understatement, they were on cloud nine with the news...feeling of becoming a parent is like being in heaven...rk looks at madhu lovingly who was having tears of happiness which he wiped from his only working hand and took her in a side hug, she hug him back.they both were still in each others arms when radha walked in with deepali and pabbo who were almost frowning on the sudden news.. radha was holding a plate filled with sweets, she came close to madhu and feed her a peice of sweet "madhu tumhe andaza bhe nahe hai k tumne mjhe kitne bade khush khabri di hai..." she stood up and move towards pabbo "didi.. suna na apne mai... mai dadi banne wali hn or ap badi dadi...khush hai na ap?" she asked happily on which pabbo forced a fake smile "han radha bohat khush hai hum, waqai bht ache khabar hai ye madhu" after which pabbo came closer to madhu and kissed her on her forhead and then she placed her hand on both rk's and madhu's head "hamesha ease he khush rehna" in return they both gave her a smile, a real one "bus madhu beta ab tum koi shooting wagara nahe karoge, ab tum bus araam karoge.. samjhe" and in an instant that lovely smile of rk fadded after hearing pabbo "agar apsab ka milna julna hogaya ho to ab sab kripiya karke bahar jayenge" rk said coldly to the three ladies, and in a second the three were out of their room radha with a confused expression but pabbo and deepali were having a victorious smile...
rk stood up from there bed as soon as the ladies left and he left the room on which madhu followed him shouting his name "rk... rk stop...kahan ja raha ho?" she asked "rk please ruku" he stopped near the stairs listening to her please and turned towards her "kya hai madhu?" he asked coldly "rk kya hua tmhe, tum achanak se itna gussa ho gaye?" she asked "madhu tmhare iss pregnency ki wajah se film ko kitna nuksan hoga.." "rk... believe me koi problem nahe hoge, maine shooting karne se kahan mana kya... shooting to chalti rahage " she said in a convincing tune "nahe madhu, tumhare health ki wajah se huma bar bar shooting postpond karne paranga... madhu is bacha ki wajah se apne film ka itna nuksan karne se acha to ye hoga k ye bacha is dunya mai hi na aye" as he blurred out these words madhu expression turned into, she understood what he just said but thinking that may be she heared she asked him again "kya...kya matlab hai tumhara rk?" "madhu maine aesa kuch nahe kaha jo tumhare samajh na aye... mai bus ye keh raha hun that i don't want this child, he is big hurdle for my film" and saying so he turned towards his room but madhu tries to stop him by holding his hand "rk ruku, tum aese nahe jaoge, mjhe tmse baat karne hai" "madhu mera hath chodo mjhe kuch nahe sunna" "nahe rk tmhe abhe isse waqt mjhe mere sawalon k jawab dene honge" she said still holding his hand, but in attemp to get free from her grip she pushed her hard, and in result madhu lost her balance and was going to fall from the stairs but thanks to roma who came on time and hold her
rk's expression changed from anger to worry when madhu was going to fall but roma came on time, so he decided to carry his anger and brushed off his worry for her "mil gaye tumhe tumhare jawab...i hope ab tumhe kuch nahe janna" he spoke harshly and walked off...madhu just looked him walking past her with wide eyes and as he went in his room and closed it with a thud, madhu blinked twice and thrice trying to dijest what he just said, tears formed in her eyes and cheeks started burning after which she realized that she was already crying, she sat on the stairs and started crying with her face between her legs and her arms around her leg "glecrene, kya hua" "rk aesa kyun keh raha tha, konse sawal?" "hua kya hai?" "or to...to ro kyun rahe hai?" "kuch to bol?" she heared roma asking her a lot of questions but did'nt bother to reply...she cried and cried and cried a lot and when she realized that not a single tear was left to shed she stood...roma was still there with her who helped her in going down stairs because she was shivering... she called patel and ordered him to call everyone including rk in the hall asap and then she walked towards the washroom to wash her face
she was sitting on the couch waiting for everyone and there comes pabbo first followed by radha and deepali.. she stood up and yelled for rk again and again...he came finally after hearing a lot of calls for him...
they all can easily figure out tht madhu had cried a lot, her face was swollen and her eyes were totally warmed "madhu kya hua hai beta? tu ro rahe the?" radha asked with concerned "han maa, mai ro rahe kyun k ap logon ki itne koshish k bad akhir kar aj maine apne rk ko kho diya" a drop of tear again fall from her eyes, she looked at everyone bittuji, roma and radha looked confused, while pabbo and deepali were having a smile and rk...rk he was sitting on the couch freely as if he is not intrested in what's going on.. looking at his rudeness madhu continued "but don't worry maine ap sab ko koi emotional speech sunane k liye nahe bulaya hai mai apna decision suna na chahte hun" "kaisa decision?" deepali asked "agar tum intrupt na bhe karte tab bhe mai bata hi rahe the deepali" she glared at deepali "han sab se pehle to bittu ji maine apko isliye bulaya kyun k mai chahte the k ap mehul sir ko inform kardaina that kal koi off nahe hoga shooting kal bhe hoge, or kal se sab log double kam karainga, mai jald as jald shooting finish karna chahte hun" "lakin glecrene tumhare halat aese nahe k tum double shifts mai kam karo, tmhe ziada se zaida rest karna chahie" "nahe roma, mai is film ki shooting ko jitne jaldi hosakta hai utne jaldi wind up karna chahte hun taka mai yahan se ja sakun" her last sentence caught rk's attention who was rolling his eyes again and again on madhu's continous blabbering "kya matlab hai tumhara?" he asked standing up with the help of the edge of couch "mere bat khatam nahe hue Mr.rishab kundra" she walked towards radha and took radha's hand in hers "maa apko lagta tha na k mai apke bete ki barbadi ki wajah hun? to ab maine ek faisla kya hai, is film ki shooting pure hona k bad mai or mera baby dono is ghar ko chodkar chala jayenge" "chala jaoge? kahan chala jaoge madhu?" "itna pareshan kyun ho rahe hain maa? apto yahe chahte the k mai yahan se chale jao to bus maa wohi kar rahe hun" "han.. mai mante hun maine kaha tha lakin ab tum nahe jaa sakte... mai tumhe nahe jana dunge... madhu ab tum akele nahe ho tumhare sath mere rishu ki nishani hai, uska bacha hai" "mai ye bat apse behtar samajhte hun maa, or shayad mai ye faisla kabhi nahe late agar rk mjhse khud ye nahe kehta k usse to ye baby nahe chahie to phir mai kyun na karun ye faisla" "agar yahi tumhara faisla hai to tum abhe kyun nahe chali jate, is film k khatam hona tak bhe yahan rukne ke kya zarorat hsi?" pabbo asked her taking some steps towards her on which she frowned and shot a glance of hatared towards pabbo before giving her a answere "kyun ki maine apne rk se wada kya tha k mai is film ko kuch nnahe hona dun, mai usse barbad nahe hona dunge..ab mera rk mere sath nahe magar wo vaada hai, jise pura karne k liye mjhe yahan rehna hoga...mai janti hun k is film ko pura karna k lliye mera yahan rehna zarori nahe lakin agar mai is ghar se gaye to media bht hangama karaige jiska iss film ki publicity par bht asar hoga or han isilye mai chahte hun k mere pregnency ki news media mai nahe aye" while saying all this she did'nt looked at rk for a nano second, she knows that he is staring at her but she ignored it and continue what she was saying "aur agar phir bhe ye news media mai leak hue to i swear k mujhse bura koi nahe hoga" she said giving a warning look to deepali and then pabbo "i hope ap sab samajh gaye hain" and then she walked in her room
the very next day madhu shifted in another room, she made herself quite busy with the schedule of film, she leave for set early morning and come back quite late, she was not carinng for herself but roma was always with her who helped her to have her medicines on time and her meel too, in next two months film shooting was completed and in these two months madhu did'nt gave a single chance to rk to talk to her... The new doctor with whom rk concerted was better than the old one, he was gettting better day by day... film teaser were now on the screen and no doubt whole india was waiting for the movie... madhu attended a lot of parties and interviews for the promotion of movie and was so confident that the movie will be superhit... it was the day of film to be released..RK was now able to walk properly without limping.. it was the treat of his fans, the movie was housefull...and the production house earned a lot of money in a little time... but in between all of this media was able to point out the differences between the couple the stars of movie RK and MADHUBALA..
saying that rk was sorry would be understatement, he was very guilty on his act, he misunderstand his madhu... he know that madhu don't want to talk to him but he decided to try...it was the day of party thrown by mehul ji for the success of movie... media was present through out the party and there focus was just on one face "MADHUBALA" the new star, they new that this new face will get lots of fame... which hurted rk's ego once again but he did'nt mentioned it infront of anyone...
the front news on next newspaper was "MADHUBALA RISHAB KUNDRA the new face of industry offered two new projects" rk teared up the newspaper without reading further and went to madhu's room.. he decided to talk to her but the room was empty, there was no sign of madhu in that room and not even in that house, he was boiling with anger "munna, patel... khan ho sab" he shouted walking in the hall, they all appeared in an instant "kahan the sab aur...aur madhu kahan hai?" he yelled on them "chief...chief wo bhabhi ji..." patel started but was hasitating to continue "mere pass pura din nahe hai, jaldi bolo kahan hai madhu?" he shouted again "rk" a voice came from the back, rk turned only to find roma and bittuji on the door "roma...bittu ji...bittu ji kya ap janta hai k madhu kahan hai?" he almost ran towards the duo "chief wo bhabhi ji ja chuki hain, hamesha k liye is ghar ko chod kar" "kya? madhu chale gaye... wo zaror chaul gaye hoge, mai janta hun wo mjhse naraz hai par mjhe usse manana parega, mjhe bhe chaul jana chahie" he move towards the door only to be stopped by roma "nahe rk madhu chaul nahe gaye hai" "to phir kahan hai wo" "wo to koi nahe janta chief" "kyun nahe janta koi, wo huma bina bataye kahan ja sakte hai" he shouted on them and in return he got silence, radha, pabbo and deepali also reached there "rishu kya hua?" pabbo asked "pabbo, madhu... madhu chale gaye, mjhe chod kar bina kuch bataye" he cried "wo aese kaisa ja sakte hai" "kya madhu, kahan...kahan gaye hai" radha askeed "koi nahe janta aunty ji, madhu ne kise ko kuch nahe bataya" roma replied, tears started to fall from rk's eyes and he sat on his knees "nahe, madhu aese kaisa ja sakte hai...madhu please wapis ajao plz...i promise mai tmhe kabhi hurt nahe karunga...i promise" he ahouted on the top of his lung
in shimla;-
at evening
she walked into the balcony of her small appartment with two cups of coffee "ye lejea mehul sir" she extended her hand with that cup of coffee to mehul "shukriya" he took the cup and they sat on the chairs in balcony "madhu kya tumhe lagta hai k tumhara faisla sahe hai" mehul asked her "han sir, i know maine sahe decision liya hai, or mere pass words nahe hain k mai apka shukriya kaisa ada karun, apne itne kam time mai mjhe ye appartment arrange karke diya, i know aj mai har tv screen par hunge, lakin kuch waqt mai log bhol jayenge mjhe" she said with tears in her eyes "madhu mai janta hun k tumhe bht takleef ho rhe hai is waqt lakin is tarah sab kuch chod dena theek hai? tum mumbai mai reh kar bhe ek naye zindagi shuru kar sakte the" "i know sir par mai dobara un logon ko face nahe karna chahte, rk ne sirf apne film k liye mjhe apne bacha ko marna ko kaha" "madhu tum ek bht strong larki ho, tum abhe bhe apne faisla badal sakte ho, abhi bhe sab kuch tumhara hath mai hai" "nahe sir mai kuch bhe badalna nahe chahte, jo ho raha hai sahe ho raha hai, ap mai ek aye zindagi ki shurwat karonge apna bacha k sath, ab yahe mere zindagi hai or mere jena ka maqsad" "theek hai madhu jaisa tumhare marzi, mai tumhare faisla ko galat nahe kahunga or nahi tmhe dobara ise badalna ko kahunga, it's ur life and u have full right on it...acha ab mai chalta hun, tumhe agar kabhi bhi mere madad ki zarurat ho to mjhe inform kardena" "ji sir, agar kabhi bhe mjhe kuch bhe chahie hoga mai sabse pehle apko pareshan karunge...theek hai" "han bilkuk theek" and with that mehul took a leave...madhu moved towards her bedroom when she got a call, she recieved it in one bell
rk''s condition was not good, everyone were tense seeing him like this.. he was lying on his bed staring at nothing he was just mumbling one thing "i'm sorry madhu, soory"...roma looked at rk one last time before leaving RM...she sat in the auto and took out her mobile to call someone, she sat as soon as the other person recieved the call "hello madhu"
"han roma bol, sab theek hai?" madhu replied
"nahe rk ki halat theek nahe madhu"
"ab mera rk se koi lena dena nahe roma, jo bhe hai wo yahe deserve karta hai"
"par madhu tu usse pyaar karte hai"
"galat, karte hun nahe karte the, ab mai srf apne bacha se pyaar karte hun"
"par madhu..."
"roma please agar tujhe yahe sab kehna hai to mai phone rakhte hun"
"acha, acha sorry...tu ye bata glecrene, tu sahe se pohach gaye shimla?"
"han roma, mai pohanch gaye or mehul sir ne itne kam time mai tina acha appartment bhe arrange kardiya"
"great, dekh madhu mjhe yahan sab manage karke woha ana mai thoda waqt lagaga tab tu apna khayal rakhna"
"roma tu fikar mat kar, mai theek hun"
"chal rakhte hun mai"
"han theek hai, bye"
"bye"
madhu disconnected the call and sat on her bed with tears in her eyes "rk tum mera sath deserve hi nahe karte the, ab mai kabhi bhe tumhare life mai wapis nahe aonge...never" her eyes again became warm with tears but she did'nt let them fall this time, she has to be strong, for herself and for her child...the reason due to which she is still alive
