Part 7
When she reached her bedroom she just fell on the bed, she was excited. Being one of the mob made her feel so different and so relaxed. She didnt have to worry how she looked, nor what she did, with whom she was, where she would be. It was all so different and relaxing for her. She remembered how she had got goosebumps all over her body when RK's breath had touched her ears. How she had wanted to stay like that all her life and be his Madhu.
She had to share it with someone so She excitedly called Trishna.
" Hey Trish.. Guess what... I went for a movie..." she said as soon as she picked up.
"Ohh wait wait... what happened.." Trishna said getting confused.
" I went to watch a movie... " Madhu said controlling her pace.
"And... whats the big deal with that?... Its what you have done all your life" Trish said as she couldnt understand how watching a movie would be the cause of so much excitement in her.
" No no... You are not understanding.. I went for a movie in a normal movie theatre in Mumbai... where actual people go to watch the movie..." she told her in an excited tone...
"Wow.. and how were you able to do that...?" Trishna asked her amazed.
"RK helped me... he took me to the theatre.. it was awesome.. all the people were busy with themselves or the movie... they didnt even noticed me... i was sitting in between them yet nobody knew it was me... " she told her with all the animated expressions.
"Wow great... and who is RK?" Trishna asked.
" you dont know RK? I told you about him right?" she said suddenly confused
"I dont remember being told of any RK..."
" Ohhoo.. My new hero Rishabh Kundra... I call him RK.." Madhu stated the obvious.
"I thought you were planning to stay away from.him..." Trishna says getting baffled. What does this girl want. One day she wants to ignore him the other day she goes for a movie with him.
" YES... But when he said I would be going to a normal movie hall... I just couldnt refuse... and i am glad i didnt..."
"Very well then... I am so happy for you... So finally you realised that you like him..." Trishna said getting one step forward.
" what!! Why do you have to get to that everytime. I dont like him... i dont love him... we are just co stars and to some extent friends... I am not going to be lured by any boy coming my way... he is good looking, well mannered and all but that doesnt mean I will love him..." Madhu was quite frustrated with her sister now.
"I just said what I felt... You were so excited about him that day and now you went for a movie with him.. and you have never been that conversational with anyone" Trishna defends herself.
" I wouldnt have gone... I told you na it was cz i liked the idea of going to a normal theatre.. it was a totally different experience. Apart from that RK is a newbie... And I am not going to be lured in by any tom dick or harry... " Madhu says firmly, somehow teling that to herself more than Trishna.
"Okay fine... you enjoyed the movie na?" Trishna said getting tired.
" Yeaahhh... and i had golgappas too.." Madhu said getting excited again.
"Very well.. I am happy for you then... love you..."
" Love you too.. ohh by the way did i disturb you? Were you going for your class? " Madhu said suddenly remembering that it was Trishna's college time.
"Ammm yeah.. I was.. amm.. about to go for it..." Trish said hesitantly.
" So you are not in your class again... Trishhh..." Madhu started to scold her.
"Bye Di... Love you" Trish immediately disconnected the call.
-----
The next day Madhu walked in the studio, she looked around people working on the sets and busy with their own works. She was heading towards her vanity when she spotted RK. He looked good yet again. She felt a smile creeping her lips, the way he was laughing she felt like laughing herself. Just then she noticed why he was laughing. She saw RK standing in the middle of a clearing holding hands with a girl. Who was she... was what Madhu thought to herself.
Madhu felt a strange feeling of anger and disgust seeing him holding hands of some other girl and not even that he was laughing away. She was glaring at the two through her goggles when she was interrupted by neha.
"Everything Okay mam?" Neha asked dreadfully as she saw the displeased expression on Madhu's face.
Madhu came out of her thoughts and nodded her head as she moved forward to enter her vanity.
Neha came in to explain her , the day's schedule but Madhu was quite lost in something. RK's laughing face and hands were flashing through her mind.
She was dying to pull that girl by her hair away from him and make her run for her life. But those are the disadvantages of being a celebrity, she sighed in disappointment..
"Mam..." Neha interrupted as she felt Madhu wasnt listening to her.
" Yea " Madhu looked at her frowning not liking that she interrupted her imaginations. If not in real at least she could have pulled off that girls hair off her head in her imaginations.
"Mam... You heard the schedule right?" She asked.t
" Yes I did" Madhu said in a dangerous and clipped tone.
Neha smiled at her nervously.
" Keep the script here... I will read it.. " Madhu said realising that its important for her to read her script and be ready for the shoot. She smiled at her faintly.
Neha was confused though a little relaxed seeing her smile.
She turned to go out keeping the script at the dressing table. But suddenly turned back.
"And yes Mam... I was to tell you that the new actress is here... she would be joining from.today"
Madhu suddenly looked at her interested. " New girl? Who and why?"
"Mam, she is here for Priya's role... that supporting character..." she tries to remind her.
" Oh yeah... That girl who supports Arjun when Anjali has left..." Madhu said non chalantly.
"Yes mam... The role will be played by Dipali Bhatia... and she would start her shoot from today..." Neha told her.
" who is this Dipali Bhatia?" Madhu asked frowning.
"Not much of a big actress. She had done 2 movies before both were small budget. This would be her first big project. The movies did an average business but she was a bit hyped through them." Neha gave her the details.
"Hmmm... Can she act? " Madhu asked thoughtfully.
"We can say that... not too good but i think she would be decent enough for the simple role she has in the film."
" Okay... Good. Tell me if you find something new.." Madhu told her and she went away.
Madhu thought to herself, 'could this Dipali Bhatia be the one flirting with my RK'
