here's my comment which is outrageously long too! 😆 😆😆

Prologue A

TAPP!!! 😲

Sultan turned to look at the source of the sound, and found his 5 yr old sister sitting in the back seat in shock. He sniggered at her. Madhu looked at her brother and pouted,(so cute ) which somehow made her older brother smile even more. She turned to the elderly man sitting next to her.

Madhu sadly: "Mohan Uncle, my balloon." (i can actually imagine this little madhu pouting and talking 😳 )

She took the remnants of the balloon and dangled it in front of his face. (hahaha! i used to do that! 😆 😳)

Mohan: "No more, Madhu. That was the second balloon. Look at Sultan, he still has his balloon."

Sultan smiles proudly.(haaye so typical..always happens with kids😳)

Madhu looks down in shame: "Sorry." 🥺

Mohan: "It's okay."

Madhu: "Will you get me another balloon?"

Mohan: "No."

Madhu: "Please, Mohan Uncle."

Mohan: "No, Madhu. You can't always have whatever you want in life."

Madhu becoming adamant: "But I want balloon." 😆

Sultan: "Mama is right. You are too much trouble. And no one will marry you, if you are like this. And poor Papa will have a tough time finding a man who will have you."😆

Sultan was quite proud of himself, not only was he able to repeat his mother's exact words, he was able to give Madhu that exact expression that their mother gave Madhu while saying this.😆

Madhu's eyes filled with tears, and she said softly: "I will find a man to marry me."😭😆

Mohan sighs. Sultan and Madhu were like his own children. For him, they and Rishu were no different. But more than Rishu and Sultan, Madhu was closer to him. She confided in him everything all her secrets, her fear, her insecurities. And she had confided in him, more than once, her fear of never finding a man who will have her, and her poor Papa going in search for a man who will marry her. And the last time, when she had confided in him, she had found the perfect solution to her problem, she will herself, find the man who will marry her, and save her Papa all the trouble.

Madhu's tears were one thing that he cud never see.

Mohan: "On our way back we will buy you a new balloon."

Madhu immediately smiles, and hugs him: "Thank you, Mohan Uncle."

Sultan again imitating his mother: "You are the one who is spoiling her."😆

They reach Mohan's chawl.

Mohan: "I have some work here, I will come back soon."

Sultan and Madhu both nod their heads.

Mohan: "Madhu, don't get out of the car."

Madhu though irritated, as he had issued that order solely at her and not Sultan, she decided not to make a fuss, else she won't get her balloon. So, she simply nods.😛

After, Mohan leaves, the driver also goes out. Sultan notices some children playing, a little further away.

Sultan: "Madhu, I am going to play with them."😆

Madhu: "Even I am coming."😛

Sultan: "No, only boys are playing. And remember what Mohan Uncle said?"

Madhu feels bad: "Then, can I play with your balloon?"😉

Sultan: "No, you will burst it like your other two balloons."😆

Madhu: "I will be careful."😆😆😆

Sultan: "No."

Sultan got out of the car and started walking, and then he stopped midway and looked back. He found his little sister sitting there with a sad face. Sultan didn't know why, but whenever he sees his sister upset, he feels bad. So he walks back, and opens the door on her side, and gives her the balloon. 🤗

Sultan: "Be careful, and I want it back when I come back."😆

Madhu smiles immediately, and gives him a kiss on his cheeks, and takes the balloon.😳

Madhu: "Thank you bhaiyya."

Sultan smiles and walks off. Five minutes later, Sultan was so immersed in his game, that he didn't hear another TAPP sound. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Madhu immediately got off the car and ran towards Mohan Uncle's house. But, only after she had reached the inner part of the chawl did she realize that she didn't know where his house was. Madhu turned back to go back to her car, when she realized that she could no longer see her car, and she cudn't remember which way she had come now. She stood there in fear, and then did the only thing, any normal 5 yr old wud do in such a situation. She wailed.⭐️

Two eleven year's old boys were walking, when they heard some people talking and arguing and also a child wailing. Their curiosity was raised, and they walked towards the source. They found a crowd, and walked towards them. Looked like they were circling a child and they both peeped in. They saw a girl standing right in the middle, could only see her back. She was crying, and she was not letting anyone get near her, may be because of the fear of strangers. This was of no interest to them.

"We will go. They might have already started playing."

He was about to turn and walk off, when he heard a small girl screaming out his name "RK!"

He turned back again, and that's when he saw the girl's face.

RK confused and shocked: "Madhu!!!! What are you doing here?"

Madhu immediately pushed all the people standing around her, and ran towards RK, and RK was trying to walk towards her when, people started asking him questions regarding the girl. He was about to answer them, when he felt someone hug him tightly. Immediately, he turned pink. 😎 😎

RK a little embarrassed, and trying to untangle her hands, which stuck like glue around his neck. The girl only reached till his chest, and was puny but had a death grip: "Madhu, what are you doing here?"

Madhu wailing: "I lost Mohan Uncle, I lost bhaiyya and I lost the car."

RK trying to calm her: "Baba is there at home, do you want me to take you to him?"

Madhu stops crying, starts roughly wiping off her tears and then nods her head in yes, then in no.

Madhu: "He will be angry with me. He told me not to get out of the car."

RK: "So, you want to go back to your car?"

Madhu nods, then starts crying again: "I lost the car."

RK: "It will be outside only, I will take you."

Madhu immediately stops crying.

RK asks her to follow him, and starts walking, few seconds later, he feels someone taking hold of his hand and looks down to see Madhu holding his hand,and trying to keep up with his pace, he immediately slows down. As if sensing him looking at her, she looks up at him, and smiles at him. His heart fluttered, he thought it was because of the afternoon sun, but still smiled back at her.

Finally they reached outside, and found her car. Madhu was ecstatic. She was about to run inside the car, when she remembered the reason why she left the car in the first place. She burst out crying.😆

RK a little irritated: "Now what happened?"😆

Madhu points at the remaining of Sultan's balloon lying on the seat: "Bhaiyya's balloon."🤣

RK: "Did you..."🤣🤣🤣

He was not able to finish his question; Madhu had thrown herself at him again.🤣 RK was immediately embarrassed, 🤣🤣🤣and saw Ali laughing at him. RK was getting really irritated now, he was supposed to be playing, but he was late because of Ali, then he had to help Madhu, and to top it all off, the girl kept hugging him for no reason! 🤣Even though he didn't mind it as much as he showed, still it was quite shocking since, she has never hugged him before. No one hugs him now. 😲😆😆 Not even his Baba,😆as he was a big man now.😲 Only, kids hugged.(let me hear this line from him when he grows up! 🤣)

And Madhu is a kid.🤣🤣 (and he is buddhaa 🤣🤣)

Then, he felt bad, Madhu had got lost, and she might have been scared, and he was the only one she knew. And that's why she clung to him like this. RK hugs her, and tries to console her. ☺️ Ali's mouth dropped open when he saw the way RK was treating that annoying girl, who looked for a reason to cry. 🤣Their school bully was acting like a mother hen now!🤣

Madhu between her sobs: "Bhaiyya will scream at me." (such a dramebaaz madhu is🤣🤣🤣)

RK said solemnly: "I won't let anyone scream at you." (kids dont lie about such things ☺️ )

Madhu moved her head back, but was still cocooned in his hug: "You promise?" 😆 😳

RK: "I promise." 😆 😳 (ho gaya marriage!🤣🤣)

Madhu smiles at him, and he smiles back.🤣🤣

Madhu looks into his eyes, with unshed tears but full of trust: "Will you get me a balloon for bhaiyya, so he won't know?" 😆😆😆

RK: "Okay. I have one at home. I will go get it. You stay here... okay?"😳

Madhu: "Okay."😳

RK asks Ali to keep an eye on Madhu, who still hadn't come out of his shock, just nods his head.🤣🤣🤣

RK ran all the way home, and went to his room, and raised his mattress, and found the balloon, he had hid there yesterday. He had planned to fill it with egg yokes, and throw it at his rival in school. In fact, he was planning to mix the egg yokes today, so tomorrow it will smell even worse, when he threw it at Vikas.🤣 But now, it doesn't look like he will be able to carry out his plan tomorrow. With a shrug, he kept the open end of the balloon at his lips, and started blowing into it, filling it with air. Once it was big enough, he tied it at the end, and ran all the way back towards Madhu.😳

By the time he reached her, he was out of breath. He gave the balloon to Madhu, and she looked at it and started crying.🤣

RK shocked: "Now, what happened?"😆

Madhu stops crying: "That is blue."🤣

RK: "So?"😆😆😆

Madhu: "Bhaiyya's is red."🤣

RK sighs. He obviously hadn't thought of the color, when he had promised to get her a balloon.😆

RK helplessly: "I don't have any other."

Madhu started crying.😆

RK feeling bad: "Don't cry. I have the money baba gave me to buy chocolates, we will buy you a balloon with that." 🤣

Madhu: "What about your chocolates?" 🤣

RK shrugs: "It's okay. I will buy chocolates tomorrow." 🤣

RK takes Madhu with him, so this time he doesn't make any mistake in the color of the balloon. Ali who was even more shocked with the events of the day, just tagged along not wanting to miss out on anymore surprises. 🤣What if RK decides to sing a lullaby for the girl if she cries?🤣 He was not going to miss that for anything in the world. RK turns back to see Ali following them.🤣

RK: "Why don't you go and join the others for the game? I will handle this."🤣

Ali: "No, I will come with you."🤣

RK saw the evil glint in Ali's eyes, and knew that soon he was going to be the butt of all the jokes. RK glares at Ali.🤣

RK: "Go play, Ali."🤣

RK's tone suggested that, if Ali didn't do as he said, Ali was going to be in deep sh*t later. Ali with disappointment walks off, man he was enjoying it so much till now.🤣 🥺🤣🤣

RK got Madhu the balloon, and this time they managed to get the exact color. Now, that Madhu had the balloon, she was happy though she asked him to hold it, in fear that she might burst this one also.

RK was walking in one hand he had two balloons and other hand he had Madhu's hand. When they almost reached her car, Madhu moves closer to him, squeezing his hand with one hand and grabbing his shirt with the other, he looked down at her, and saw her watching a rag picker.😒

RK wearily: "What happened?"

Madhu scared: "He will take me away."😒

RK: "Now, why would he do that?" 😒 😆

Madhu as if he didn't know anything, explains to him: "His sack is full of bad children. When he sees bad children, he takes them away."😒 😒 😒

RK : "Who told you that?" 😒 😒

Madhu: "Mama. (Moving a little more closer to him) Don't let him take me away... okay?"😒

RK smiles: "Why would he take you away? Are you bad?"

Madhu immediately looks down and whispers: "Mama says that I am too much trouble, and no one will want to marry me. And Papa will have a tough time finding a husband for me."😒 😒 😒

RK kneels down, and lifts her head and sees her face. Her eyes were filled with tears. His heart went out to her. He smiles tenderly: "Well looks like your mama doesn't know anything." 🤣 🤣

Madhu confused and a little offended: "Why?" 😕

RK: "Who wouldn't want to marry you?" 🤣

Madhu: "Mama said no one will marry me."

RK: "Only if everyone is fools." 🤣

Madhu: "Why would anyone want to marry me? I am too much trouble." 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

RK: "Why wouldn't anyone want to marry such a beautiful girl?" 🤣 🤣

Madhu gives him a magnificent smile. 🤣

RK: "Oh God! A beautiful girl with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. So now you see, only a fool wouldn't want to marry you." 🤣 🤣

Madhu: "Are you a fool?" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 (she found someone who will marry her 🤣🤣🤣)

RK a little shocked, but continues smiling: "No." 🤣🤣🤣

Once, they reached her car. RK gives her one balloon, then looks at her, and sees her watching him with so much admiration.🤣

RK: "Do you want this also?"

Madhu nods her head. He gives her the other balloon and was about to walk off when she holds his hand, he turns back and looks at her wondering what she wanted now. She keeps pulling his hand, finally he understands that she wants him to kneel down to her level and he obliges.🤣🤣

Madhu smiles: "Thank you, RK."🤣

And she kisses him on his cheek. RK was too shocked to react at first,🤣🤣🤣 and then he just smiles at her and ruffles her hair and walks off.🤣🤣 (she scared him!🤣)

As RK walks off, Sultan came there and sees Madhu watching RK in admiration.🤣🤣

Sultan: "Isn't that RK?" 😆😆

Madhu nods.😆

Sultan: "Why are you looking at him like this?"🤣

Madhu looks right into his eyes and says: "I am going to marry him."🤣🤣
