PART 22

"Biwi, do remember, we need to return back before 8. I have promised to be there in the party and RK never breaks his promise." Instructed RK while getting inside the car, the next morning, for their trip. "But RK, please don't cut short our outing for that!" pouted Madhu. "I won't do that Madhu but it's also true that we can't traverse whole Switz within a day." "What do you mean?" Madhu asked suspiciously. She was getting some weird signals of the trip cancellation. "I mean Biwi, today I will take you both to a few but some prominent places here in this city only. And the rest, we will cover by tomorrow- we can't go for Geneva today and return back!" She got his plan and snorted, "Hmmm... So you have already planned it last night. Right? Is it so necessary to attend that party? I don't get it, RK!" Of course, it is essential, Madhu! The moment I had waited for so long, I can't miss that today! "Yes Biwi! It's important and we are going to attend it and that's final! Don't stress yourself sweetheart, your head would start rolling!" Madhu glared back at his naughty wink. Soon, they reached the Swiss National Park. "Let's go Madhu! I got the tickets." "National Park? RK, we have our baby with us and what if the animals attacked on us?" Madhu fizzled at the entrance gate. "NO! We won't go inside!" "Relax Madhu! Don't act so childishly! Can't you see the tourists here? This place is opened for sight seeing!" "NO! I won't take my Sara inside the park!" While her Mumma was hissing at her Papa, little Sara was already leaping in joy seeing the park. She loudly chuckled with a clap, getting her parents attention. "See! Sara already wants to go inside, Biwi! Now c'mon, don't behave like a kid! Get inside!" Madhu pouted in reluctance. She lovingly asked Sara, "Sara, baby do you want to go inside? No na!" And as expected, Sara again sprang up in her arm in excitement and giggled. "Why are you trying too much Biwi when she is already ready?" RK huffed in annoyance. "Fine! But ask the guard to come along with us! I won't go else..." Seeing her stubbornness at its height, RK agreed to it. He asked the park guard for the help, "Don't worry Sir! This place is safe. We have our guards spread all over the park. We have guides too. You won't face any problem!" RK looked back to convince Madhu but saw her already entered. Why are you so silly, Biwi? He chuckled. It was a widely spread area of mountains and woodland. For the tourists ease, there were trails around the green belt for an easy view to the wildlife. "Biwi, how did you survive in Australia?" asked RK prankishly while walking around the pathway. "Meaning?" Madhu asked confused. "I had studied there, RK! It's an amazing country... so beautiful! You know, I have visited each and every place there so many times!!" She told in a pride. "Then why you behave here like this?" He grinned. Hearing this, Madhu was about to hit him with her bag but stopped seeing the people around them. "I'll see you Rishabh Kundra!" She hissed low- pitched. RK giggled seeing her face and took Sara in his arms, "Sara! Look there Beta! So many animals..." He pointed towards a batch of red deers and ibexes, grazing afar. Sara hawed in fervour and bounced up and down in his arms. "This place is abundant in vegetation and wild population, Madhu! You'll find so many species that can only be seen here... nowhere else!" He explained while walking around the bushes. They were having a great time there. Suddenly, while walking around the trails, a chamois crossed their path. Seeing it, Sara clapped in joy and giggled loudly which grabbed its attention and it stopped to look at them. Madhu caught RK's arm in fear. "R...K... Why is it looking at us like this?" She croaked in terror. "Don't worry Madhu, it won't harm us!" Both the mammal and Madhu were staring at each other. Suddenly the chamois jumped and diminished in the dense bushes. Madhu immediately hid behind RK and clutched his shirt tightly in fear. The nearby tourists giggled and walked by. "Relax Biwi, see even that innocent animal ran away from you!! You are so dangerous Biwi!" He gagged in tease. She playfully hit him and walked off in fume. They spent about more than four hours there, roaming all around, clicking snaps and lot more.

"Biwi, do you want to go to Matterhorn?" "What is it RK?" "Almost similar to Mt. Pilatus!" "What? You mean... again that cable car?" RK laughed, "No Biwi! This time no cable car, because there is no cable car facility!" "Then? How would we go there?" "Through mountaineering!" Madhu glared at him. "What happened Biwi?" "Turn back to the hotel, RK!" RK again laughed, "Relax Biwi, we aren't going there. I am taking you both to more beautiful place!" After a brief drive, they reached. "Is it another National park, RK? It's so beautiful and green all around!" "No Biwi! It's not a national park. Hey, did you hear that sound?" She heard a loud splashing sound. "Let's go inside. Madhu. You will love it!" Madhu got awe strucked to see the sight. A huge bulge of water coming with full flow and dabbing down in the arms of the surrounding cliffs, clattering its splashes in the atmosphere. "It's Rhine waterfalls, Madhu! Europe's largest waterfall. Loved it?" They were standing near the cliff end to see this breathtaking sight. "It's just heavenly!" Sara was beaming in pleasure, just like her Mumma! "Can't we get settled here, RK? Near these falls... in this greenery!! It's heaven, RK!" She was spell bounded with the view in front of her. They sat near the cliff to have a perfect view to its depth with the natural spattering music. They didn't even realize when the hours passed. It's the sunset time now. RK lazily looked at his watch and got concerned. "Ammm... Biwi! We should leave now. We have to reach hotel!" Madhu, who was completely engrossed in the scenic beauty, mowed at RK, "Please RK! Look all around no... It's so beautiful! What's there in that party? Please, stay here with me no!!" She pulled his palm in an appeal. RK gently smiled at her and spoke holding her hand, "Please Madhu!" Madhu got stunned to hear that. First time, Rishabh Kundra pleaded in front of her- so genuinely!! A surprised smile automatically crept over her face. "OK! Let's go! But you'll bring us here tomorrow surely!" "I promise!"

In the living area of their room, "Biwi! Be fast now! Why you always take too much time?" shouted RK, adjusting his coat. He was wearing a grey textured three piece suit with black shirt- all from the house of Zegna. "Transform yourself into a girl and then you would know, Mr Kundra!" a teasing reply came from the bedroom. "Oh really! Then why don't you convert into a man and become a little quicker... B...I...W...I!! Now don't waste time and come out... We are already late!!" He was still not finished with his bickering when the door finally opened. "Now stop brabbling like a typical woman, Mr Kundra and tell me... how is it hunn...?" There she was... standing at the door with an admiring smirk on her face- wrapped in a heavy black self embroidered Sari with a royal purple shimmery inner skirt and matching purple silky deep back cut laced blouse; and her hair set opened on one shoulder! RK was lazily adjusting his hair but the moment he saw the mystic beaut infront of him, he just stood still like a hypnotized fool- mouth half opened and eyes completely stuck at the feminine sensational figure without any blink!! "Gorgeous!!" He muttered. Hearing that word, Madhu's face glittered with a huge grin. "Hmmm... So finally, I AM looking gorgeous... hunnn!!" She simpered in a sexy yet adorable manner. Her voice brought him back on earth. "Hunnn?! Ammm... Not at all, Madhubala! Have some cold water! I am admiring my little angel!" He tilted aside to look behind her at Sara, who was deeply engrossed in her Barbie dolls cluster. He gave her a wink and walked off to his daughter. Madhu's smile automatically turned into an angry glare. Sara was decked up in a white frilled silky frock with matching white bellies and hair band. RK gently scooped her in his arms and kissed, "Looking so gorgeous my white princess!! Just like your Papa!!" Sara caught his ear and rested her cheek on his in reply. "You know what RK, you are so shameless!!" Madhu frowned in disgust. "Can't you even admire me just for once??" You don't even know what effect you leave upon me, Madhu!! RK giggled but tried to maintain his calm, "Really Biwi? Since when you needed my admiration? And wait... by the way, did YOU ever appreciate my dressing?? Hunnn?!" "What's the need for it, RK? You always look so hand..." Madhu stopped in midway as she just realized what she was about to utter... Her frown immediately got replaced with embarrassment! "Ahaaannn!" RK simpered naughtily. Seeing no escape from his sharp gamy gazes, Madhu took Sara in her arms without looking at him, "Wo... We... We are getting late!" And turned back to leave with flushed face. She was about to move out of their suite's door when RK called from behind, still being quite spunky, "Thanks... B...I...W...I!!!" She felt her heart bouncing fast, but she still turned over her shoulder with a fake frown, "Shut up RK! Let's go now!!" and left with a beamy smile.

The hotel management team warmly welcomed them as their guest. The entire banquet hall was decorated with blue lilies and lightened with candles and artificial lights. It was all looking like a small castle celebrating a festival. The manager was personally addressing every guest in honour. All three of them settled on their table. Suddenly Sara started leaping up and down in Madhu's lap. She tried to calm her down but she started thumping the table. Madhu caught her palms tightly to stop but suddenly she screamed. "Ssshhh... Sara! What happened baby??" She caressed her cheeks in love but she again bounced and started pacing towards the table. "Madhu, I think she wants to sit on the table!" "What? But it won't look good RK!" "Let it be Madhu! She is just a kid!" Madhu made her sit on the table top and to her surprise, Sara giggled in joy and swayed her frock frills in fun. Both of them chuckled seeing her. After sometime of leisure, the manager approached them, "Good evening Ma'am! Good evening Sir! Hope you are enjoying the night!" "Yeah... It's lovely! Thanks!" "Ma'am, if you don't mind you can send your baby to the play room." Madhu looked at him astonished. "What? NO! I mean, I don't have any problem with my baby! We are OK..." She immediately looked at RK to speak too. "Amm, yeah... we don't have any problem. And she is small. She needs us!" "Don't worry Sir, our play room has all the facilities for every age group. And we have trained staff for their care. There are other kids too." Madhu fearfully hugged Sara closer to her. "I won't send her anywhere, RK! It's a foreign land! I don't trust anybody here! Please!" "Relax Madhu! See, he is not completely wrong at his part. What would she do here in this party? At least, there she would get her toys to play." Madhu looked at him shocked. "How can you be so sure RK? We don't even know the room location! What if they..." "Calm down Madhu! See, I am going to inspect the place and if I found it safe then only I will leave our Sara there!" "But RK..." "Trust me, Madhu! I am there no... Relax!" Madhu reluctantly left her hold. "Please don't worry Ma'am! We assure you complete safety and care of your baby girl!" Both the manager and RK left with Sara. While it took a few minutes for RK to come back, Madhu was getting restless with each passing minute. "You came alone? Where is my Sara?" "She in the play room." "What? You left her there! Rk, you..." She was about to go there when he held her arm, "Take it easy Madhu! I have checked everything. It's fine! And the room is just adjacent to the banquet. It's approachable!" Madhu looked at him teary eyed. RK gently wiped them off with a smile and cupped her face, "She is safe there, Madhu! Trust me! She is OUR daughter, I care for her! There are other kids also... she is happy. And if she needed us, the staff will inform us here. Believe me!" Madhu innocently held his palm tightly and asked, "You are not telling any lie to me no, RK?!" "Do you trust me?" It was a simple yet so intense question which automatically made her nod in consent. Her nod flushed a huge smile on RK's face, "Now wipe them off and smile. After sometime, I'll bring her back. Promise!"

The night was going very smoothly. Slowly the lights went dim with just the decorated podium in the highlight. The guest couples started gathering there for dance with a light music in the background. Madhu too had got pacified with Sara's safety. She was looking at the dancing couples with a tenuous smile. "Why any party can't be complete without these dances??" She asked. "Looks like, you are fed up of dancing!" chuckled RK. "Mmm... not really but still... By the way, it's looking like, YOU are quite enjoying it now!" "Well yeah... I have found a liking for it." Because you are with me, Madhu! 'Ok then... let's develop that liking in you too today...!" And he gently forwarded his hand. Madhu looked at him surprised, "RK? Are you serious? I mean..." "Of course I am, Biwi!" She aceepted his hand with a sigh.

"Who would believe that it was you who cooked up so many excuses to deny for the dance in Aman's party!" chuckled Madhu, whilst both were moving along with the music, in proximity- RK holding her by waist and Madhu resting her hands on his shoulder. This time, everything was different- there was no hesitation between the duos today unlike last time!! "Same to you, Biwi!" And both giggled softly. Sudenly, they felt a push from RK's backside. "Oh! I am really sorry!" apologized a lady who seemed to be a British. She was also dancing with her partner. "It's OK!" said RK and both of them restarted. Madhu perplexedly looked at that girl but didn't say anything. After a minute, they again felt the push but RK again ignored her with a casual smile. This time Madhu noticed her gamey grin so finally understood her intention. She chancefully turned RK along with herself so that her back was facing that girl's back now. "What happened Biwi?" "Mmm... Nothing! I just got tired of dancing at same place!" After a while, Madhu again felt that slight thrust. That girl looked back but got shocked. "Focus on your partner, darling!! Poor soul is waiting for you!" spoke Madhu with an evil grin. "Ahaaann Biwi! I liked it!" smirked RK. "What liked it hunn? You very well knew her intention but still you didn't stop her!" "Oho... Somebody is burning hunnn...!" He again simpered in tease. "Not at all Mr Kundra. It's just that you are already booked for lifetime so better... BEHAVE!" blazed Madhu to which RK chuckled softly. "By the way... I have to tell you something Madhu!" "And what's it?" she asked casually. "That Gorgeous' was for you too!!" Both stopped swaying. The smile was trying hard- whether to emerge out or not- on Madhu's lips. "You are looking breathtaking today, Biwi!" whispered RK. "Then why did you prank?" She growled huskily. Unknowingly, the proximity was lessening between them. A brief silence was there between the duo. His intense gaze was trying to answer her and certainly, she was reading his eyes. Suddenly the background score changed, breaking their eyelock. "It's my favourite song, Madhu!" Lights went dimmer.

[Song: Nothing's Gonna Change My Love- George Benson]

RK trailed his hand over her bare waist all the more to firm his grip, his eyes still stuck intensely on hers. Madhu hypnotically moved close to him with his clasp and gripped her arms around his neck.

If I had to live my life, without you near me

The days would all be empty

The nights would seem so long,

Both started moving with the euphony, completely drowned in each other's eyes.

With you I see forever,

Oh! So clearly, I might have been in love before

But it never felt this strong...

He twirled her around while she swirled with an unknown slender smile on her face. They had the same intensity in between.

Our dreams are young and we both know

She hit into his chest with her back and both swayed along with the lyrics. Madhu could feel his hot breathe near her nape which was enough to electrify her soul and mind.

They'll take us where we want to go

RK slid his fingers slowly over her navel which shivered her body. Madhu clutched his palm in strange excitement with twitched eyes.

Hold me now, touch me now... I don't want to live without you...

She could feel his nose tip trailing slowly along her neck line which again quivered her deeply; her legs trembled in anticipation. She immediately turned to face him... so closely!

Nothing's gonna change my love for you,

You ought to know by now how much I Love You

One thing you can be sure of, I'll never ask for more than your love...

His eyes were filled with so much passion, enough to hallucinate her mind! She slowly glided her hands around his neck firmly while he tightened his hold around her waist- with their eyes entangled in their passion to be in each other's arms.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you,

You ought to know by now how much I Love You

The world may change my whole life through but

Nothing's gonna change my love for you...

Both were moving along with the music, lost in each other!

If the road ahead is not so easy,

Our love will lead the way for us...

Like a guiding star!

RK slowly pulled her closer to him- with their lips inches apart from each other. He could sense her pounding heart beats so easily. Madhu again closed her eyes in fervour.

I'll be there for you if you should need me

You don't have to change a thing

I Love You just the way you are...

RK was constantly grazing her face through his passionate eyes- this is what he was dreaming to have- to have her in his arms; in his warmth so close without any hesitation... without any fear! And the lyrics were no less than the words of his heart... A wish... to be with her... forever... with a promise of love... which would never change!!

So come with me and share the view,

I'll help you see forever too...

He slightly pushed her away, breaking her spell... with the same intensity in his eyes for her! She rolled back in his arms, holding him more tightly this time, with her rising hidden desire!

Hold me now, touch me now... I don't want to live without you...

Both kept on moving with the music, with their constant eyelock!

Nothing's gonna change my love for you,

You ought to know by now how much I Love You

One thing you can be sure of, I'll never ask for more than your love...

He again whirled her round with his fingers all around him and she hypnotically swirled- with a flimsy smile on her lips and eyes clutched with his intensely...

Nothing's gonna change my love for you,

You ought to know by now how much I Love You

The world may change my whole life through but

Nothing's gonna change my love for you...

She finally ended with thumping in his hold, facing him straight with least proximity in between. They both could feel their fast breaths on their lips. By the end, their gaze had grown so deep- none of them blinked his eyes even for a second! Slowly, RK reduced that mere space and rested his forehead on hers. Madhu too, slowly closed her eyes to feel his closeness and a fragile smile quirked over her face. She was still in her beguile when she felt a fainted touch over her cheek. She slowly opened her eyes and saw RK caressing her face through his knuckles. Suddenly the reality struck her- she got thrilled with her closeness with him. She was about to step back when he tightened his hold abruptly! His intense eyes again stole her heart beats and again, she gave herself up into her heart!! "Madhu!" muttered RK huskily. "Hmmm..." "I want to say something to you today!" "What?" growled Madhu, completely lost in his ardent stare. "I don't know... when and why it happened!" Finally, Rishabh Kundra gathered all his courage to utter out his heart. "I just know that... yes... it has happened! I never thought that... that I would ever say this... to you! Madhu... I... We... Ammm... I am..." Before he could complete, they heard a soft giggle! Both turned to its direction... it was Sara, chuckling in a lady's arms, probably a waitress. Madhu came back to the reality and stepped back from RK with her face, already flushed in redness. Without looking at him, she went down from the podium and took Sara in her arms. "Damn it!" With utmost disappointment, he stepped down too. Both of them stood there in strange awkwardness, none of them could share even a brief stare. "Ahhh... Ammm... My bachcha enjoyed a lot there hunn?" Madhu playfully tickled Sara's nose to which she clapped in reply. RK too kissed her lovingly. "RK!" she called him. "What did you want to say? You are... what?" RK grew more hesitant in the already bumbled situation. He stuttered, "Aaa... Wo... I said that... I... Madhu, I am... actually, I... I Lo..." His phone buzzed. He got surprised to see his phone screen. "Madhu, I'll just come back in a minute... Wait here." The moment he left, she sighed in deep relief but couldn't manage to stop her glittering smile and blush.

Both the mother and daughter were busy in playing with each other when RK hurriedly reached there, surprising them all the more, "Madhu... We have to leave for home... NOW!!!"
