Usually to get myself back into the mood of writing, I write up an OS. This OS SUCKS. No joke. It's so quick-paced lol. But I felt like sharing it anyways. Just because. It's set in the future (not present) so please refrain from comments like 'He doesn't like her yet!' (I've seen a lot of those comments being thrown around the forum lately). And this is only an OS, not prediction, not anything. Just simply me writing to get back into it.
Bring Back What We Once Had
It's amazing how much can change in so little time.
I went from being a loyal husband, to a husband who was falling for another girl.
How. How could I do that to my Madhu? I wasn't sure, but it had been a while since I had accepted that I was not a decent man. I was RK. And no one, not even I can change myself.
Madhu deserves credit though, for trying. She almost brought about a change in me. It was Ria who took me back to where I belonged. I felt like I fit in with her. She definitely understood me more than I understood myself. She knew what I wanted. Nothing but to be myself, RK, Rishabh Kundra the arrogant, egoistic superstar. That was who I really was, and that was how Ria liked me.
I had brought Ria to my mansion, to let her have a place to stay. She stayed in the guestroom that I had once given to Madhu. I had actually distanced myself from Madhu so much by that point that sometimes days would go by where we wouldn't even say a word to each other even though we lived in the same room. We slept with a wall of pillows between us and whenever I got the chance, I spent a majority of my time talking to Ria in her room. You could say that I had basically moved down to the guest room, leaving Madhu in what used to be our room. So she never knew when I was there or when I wasn't.
There are times I miss what Madhu and I used to have...but then I remember all that she did to me for stardom. It's in those moments that I remember Ria, the girl I found solace in when I was at my lowest.
It was in the middle of the night when my eyes opened. I turned to see Madhu asleep peacefully...but just seeing her face brought back all those thoughts that I wanted to shut out. I got out of bed and headed downstairs. I turned to the guestroom, only to see that it was empty.
That's when I began approaching the kitchen, assuming she had gone to get something to eat.
I heard a voice, no, voices from the kitchen, so I stopped just outside. I took one peak in, only to see Pabho, Dipali, and Ria enjoying a laugh together.
What's Ria doing with them? I wondered to myself as I began to listen in on their conversation.
"Everything's going just as planned!" Ria spoke.
"You know, we wouldn't have been able to do this without you Ria," said Dipali.
"Girls, we still have some work to do. Even after convincing RK that Madhu purposely killed her child, and after joining hands with Ria to get Madhu out of RK's life, she's still here. We need to do better," Pabho spoke.
"Better?! Sorry, but Ria only does the best. Besides, I'm just here for my moment to shine. All I asked for was stardom and I'm not far from that. I'm pretty sure he's already fallen for me."
"Excuse me?" Dipali spoke with irritation in her voice.
"Dipali! Now's not the time. We need to get Madhu out of this house and out of RK's life. As soon as possible!"
I nearly fell to my knees upon hearing them. I instantly zoned them out, not wanting to hear more. I began walking in a trance back to my room as their voices echoed through my mind. Tears filled my ears as I thought back to everything that was said to me by Pabho, Dipali, and the girl I thought was my friend...Ria about Madhu.
I walked into my room, still shocked by what I had heard downstairs. I slowly headed towards our bed where I saw Madhu still sleeping peacefully. As I stared down at her beautiful face, all our moments together flashed before me.
How could I ever doubt you, my Madhu...? I wondered silently to myself as a tear escaped my eye.
I stood by her bedside, staring down at her. Finally my knees gave in and I fell to the ground. The noise startled Madhu as she instantly awoke and flashed on the light. She noticed me down on the ground and instinctively she went to kneel in front of me on the ground as well. I noticed her hesitate to touch me at first, but as she saw another tear escape my eye, she placed a hand on my shoulder.
"RK?!"
I let it all out. Tears flowed out of my eyes as I pushed himself forwards and wrapped my arms around my Madhu.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Madhu! Forgive me...I was wrong. I was always wrong. How could I ever doubt you. I can't believe...I'm..."
"Shhh..." Madhu spoke, comforting me.
She ran a hand through my hair and gently caressed my back as I clung to her as though hanging on for dear life.
"RK?! What happened?!"
I didn't pull away, rather tightening my arms around her, not wanting to let go, not wanting to lose her.
"I love you Madhu. I love you. Only you. I'm so sorry."
It was the beginning to a long recovery. I knew it wouldn't be as easy as saying sorry and having her forgive me. I knew it'd take time and I swore that I'd make her mine again, even if it took me a lifetime. I swore to bring back what we once had.
