Os-Badte Dooriyan
6 months...and that alone had changed their life.
New history created as Rk's film house had touched global heights. He had turned into a full-fledged producer. Banks fought with each other for giving him and his films unlimited funding as they knew it was always going to be a success. No one could reject him. He was King Midas with the golden touch after all.
Rk looked up from the script as he heard footsteps. He watched as Madhu entered the room and made her way towards the bed, she picked up the scripts and began to arrange it with clinical detachment on her face.
She was not the one he had fallen in love with anymore. She looked completely lost and rarely smiled. It was like she was protecting herself from everything around her happiness, dreams, hopes expectations were her enemies...
Pabbo watched Madhu arranging her bed and clothes like a robot .That is what she had become immediately after her abortion. Being a woman herself Pabbo felt all ill feelings towards Madhu wash away after her sacrifice she made for her Rishab.
Madhu felt an affectionate hand over her head which felt more like a mother's soothing touch, she turned beliwered to find Pabbo with an understanding look and a strange softness. Madhu wanted nothing but run away from it.All love gave her was pain and she couldn't take it anymore...
She tried to walk away when a question stopped her
P-"How long are you going to hold it back Madhu?"
M-"What do you mean?"
P-"Your pain, how long are you going to let it stay?"
M-"Why does anyone really care for me huh?"
It was that line which made Rk stop.He waited to listen.
M-"If I am in pain or not don't really make a difference to anyone. Not my family, my sister and not even to my husband. So please stop this act of being all lovey -Dovey."
Pabbo-"There are people who really love you Madhu"
M-"I don't want it..all you get is pain and more pain."
P-"But"
M-"Please stop your act of being all caring because it makes me hope... and all I get is disappointment and pain...I am just an object to be used and thrown out I suppose.."
Rk felt as if someone had shot him right at his heart."Is this what she feels about herself..."
Madhu entered the room to find it completely decorated with flowers and candles ..Chocolates, the whole room were perfumed. She walked a few steps and stopped.Even as she took in the surroundings,she felt two arms going around her waist.She turned a bit to see Rk looking at her with love filled eyes.He paused near her ears and spoke ..."I WANT YOU NOW..." And Madhu woke up with a jerk ,sweating furiously..Rk who came out of the shower ran to comfort her.The pale look on her face haunted him.He poured a glass of water and handed it to Madhu but realized she was shivering..
Rk-"M..Madhu are you okay?"
M-"Why did you say that ? why now?"
Rk-"What are you talking about sweetheart ,Its just a dream..."
M-"It was a nightmare..I don't dream anymore..."
Rk-"but"
M-"Dreams hurt Rk..."
Those were the only words which vibrated in his ears as he laid own looking at her as she slept back with the aid of sleeping pills..
Sleep had left him and all he could feel was guilt and pain..The success had not brought him all his happiness back but had made him push his true happiness away from him...He felt foolish enough to let Dipali's words affect him that day...
How much had he tried to break Madhu's shell ,the more reserved she became...She was turning to become like him but with a difference she had. No emotions..She hated anything and everything which involved LOVE and FEELINGS
And of all HIM .
All he could see was the miles between them, their BADTE DOORIYAN...
