KUCH TO HUA HAI
"Hey!! What are you doing?" A gruffish manly voice tried to disrupt her but she was completely engulfed in her Lala land- moving her head along with the euphony playing in her ear phones; with her eyes closed. "I am talking to you, girl!!" He exclaimed this time to grab her attention. "I don't know... who you are... where you're from... As long as you love me..." His outcry failed as now, she has started singing too, of course not melodiously and still in her separate world! "What the hell is this??" He stomped near her in chafe and pulled out her ear plugs irately- which automatically brought her back to the earth. "Hey... What the..?? Don't you've manners? Why did you pulled them out?" She glowered at him, pausing her tread mill. "Lower down your voice, Miss Malik!!" He frowned at the same pace. "You yourself blocked your ear drums and now shouting at me!! Did you even hear what I said to you a minute before?" She kept on glaring at him narked as he continued, "And by the way, why have you come in this gym? To listen to your play list on the tread mill??!!" "For your information, I AM doing my job here... Can't you see?" She snapped back bluntly. "Of course I can, Miss Malik!!" He simpered evilly and acutely watched the tread mill screen and turned up to her with the same smirk, "See... You are doing fantastic job... hunnn!! It's been 15 days since you've joined and still, you're only warming up yourself at 8 kmph speed!! Great work hunnn!!!" She turned her gaze away in self- reproach. "Hey! What happened RK?" Another manly voice interrupted the heated atmosphere. "Nothing Karan, I am just giving her some feedback! Right Miss Malik?" replied RK with the same fleer while she glared at him impeached. Karan confusingly left from there for his betterment. "Now stop eating me up through your eyes and increase your speed here... It's useless to work out here then... Leave the warm up and start your exercise now!" RK turned back to other girls staring at both of them, "Get back to your work, girls! There's no theatre show going on here..." and he left. She just stood there deeply gravelled with his special lecture. She threw her ipod on her bag lying nearby in nark. "Don't forget, it's your device Miss Malik." Taunted RK again. "I know that. Thank... you!" She snapped back sarcastically but deep down, that man was getting on her nerves and poor soul couldn't help it. "Oho, leave it RK! Madhu, you continue as he advised! Hang up you two!" interrupted Karan, the co-trainer of RK. R...K... My foot! His mere name was enough to steam her up. What the hell he thinks of himself?? Every time... filled with good for nothing attitude... Moron!! Madhu turned back to see him- busy in training other girls. His simper was making her absolutely hopping mad. And with the same apoplexy, she raised the tread mill speed. "Till now, only these bimbos were getting his scolds but now... that idiot chose me for his lecture!!! It's only 15 days since I joined and he wants me to be proficient. That thicko... The moment he comes in my catch... I'll kill him right there!!" scowled Madhu in whisper and sped up her mill again. "Look... Look... how much attitude he throws!! Silly!! As if he is the only genius present here... We are fools here!! Half-wit R... K...!!" and she again sped up the speed but suddenly, "OUCH!" Everybody turned to notice crashed Madhubala Malik, near her tread mill. "Ouch!! Oh my god!! Aaahhh..." she started crying out holding her ankle. RK immediately rushed to her, "What... What happened? Show me!" He tried to touch her injury but she screamed again in pain, "Don't touch it!! It's paining a lot!! Oh God!! My ankle... Uuugghhh!!!" "Ssshhh... It's fine!! Relax Miss Malik! You must have taken care. Who told you to run so fast that you can't even bear with!!?" Hearing his harsh voice, Madhu cried more loudly, glaring at him. Rk brought a pain killer spray and water sipper for her. "My foot!! Aaahhh Mumma... Now I won't be able to walk!! My foot..." "Relaaaxx... Easy... Easy!! Have some water." "O Mumma... my ankle!!" "I said be quiet. Take it easy. It's nothing!" But she cried more loudly. It was getting too amusing for the people around. "I SAID STOP CRYING!!" finally he threw out his burst! Hearing his sudden yell, Madhu got numbed and her tears automatically stopped coming out in fear. "What's the need to cry so much? The more I am trying to calm you, the more you are shouting!! What's the need?" yelled RK. "But it's paining no..." she grumbled in sob. "Then? Will your cry heal it? I said I am applying the pain killer na... See... look at it, it's nothing- no swelling." Actually he was right- it was a normal slip. But dramatist Madhubala still tried to pull her drama for few more minutes. "Now C'mon, try to get up!" She slowly stood up in wince, carrying out her melodrama perfectly and faked her foot trip. RK tried to help her but she taunted in chafe, "No thanks!! I'll manage it!!" She picked up her bag, limping in fake. "Next time if you help someone, at least don't scold him Mr RK!! Try to be humble!!" RK glared at her for some good minutes and then replied back bluntly, "Fine!! So everybody get back to your places... Miss Malik will manage it to her home... H.E.R.S.E.L.F.! Right... Miss Malik??" She immediately hobbled out in fury.
In the underground parking lot, the moment she entered, Madhu straightened her faked limping leg- after all no one was there to watch out her melodrama! Well... Whatever happened upstairs in the gym, one thing definitely turned out in her favour- she succeeded in getting herself free from that moron trainer RK for today... "Cynical!! Idiot! Spoiled my whole day... Crude RK!!" She walked to her scooty, gnarling at RK. She opened the vehicle lock and pressed the auto start... "What the hell is happening now?? Get started you scooty!!" She mumbled in annoyance. Madhu again tried but it failed... Guess, scooty wasn't in the mood to start today! She applied numerous stand kicks but nothing helped... It was too stubborn to give its owner a starting jerk even... "Go to hell you..." She irately kicked its tyre but... "OUCH!! My ankle!! Urrgghhh..." got hurt again...
"Bhaiya! How much time will it take to get repaired?" asked Madhu worriedly to the mechanic who was acutely dissecting her scooty parts. "Madam Ji, it might take an hour or so... Complete gearbox is damaged and even the battery wires have been eaten up by the rats... it seems!!" The mechanic was in the full mood to cash in some money from the chick today!! "What?!" she exclaimed in surprise, "But it was perfectly fine till the evening... I had driven it quite well, Bhaiya! How can rats damage the wires? I didn't see any rat going inside!" The machinist actually trapped a dumb biddy today, his chuckling expressions were saying it all! "Madam Ji. They are rats not humans that you can stop them... They don't need your permission. Quite possible that they did their work here in the parking area." She was staring at him vexed... vexed with everything that was happening to her today one after the other. "Now tell me, should I start my repairing or you..." "O Bhaiya, I haven't brought you here for your consultancy service. Start your job now and look... do it fast hunn!!" Here the mechanic started spreading his tool shop there on the floor and there, she was stomping at the situation. Madhu agitatedly jumped upon the nearby motorbike seat and start pinning in her vehicle key in its seat- tearing it. "Worst... Worst... Worst!! Worst day of life!" Her muttering started again. "First that RK... then this scooty!! Why o why?! Why it always happens to me only God? Don't you feel bad for me ever... hunn?" While Miss Malik was busy in cursing the almighty, the mechanic was grinning at her blabbering. He must be planning his new charges for his special gooselike customer today! Finally, people have started coming there. One by one, everybody started from there but poor Madhu and her scooty were still stuck in the parking lot. "Arre Bhaiya, How much time you'll take hunn? See... everybody is going now! Can't you move your hands fast?" "Madam Ji, it will take some more time. If you can manage then leave it here for today. I'll repair it by tomorrow." His words made her worried more. How will I go back home then? Oh God! Where am I stuck? "NO! You repair it here only. But do it fast please!" She lazily settled on the bike seat, caressing her paining ankle when she got reminded of something. Whatever it is but I must say, that moron's pain killer spray actually worked hunn... and she chuckled. Her frequently changing expressions and murmurs were amusing that machinist thereby passing his time quite well. "You're still here?" She heard a familiar voice so turned around in its direction. Aahhh RK... Not again!! RK walked near her and asked, "What are you doing here Miss Malik?" Madhu signalled him to her under repair scooty in reply. "Oh! Enjoy then..." He teased as usual, "And catch some other bike for your rest, please!" She acutely stared at him and snapped, "You know how much rude you are! Have some grace in your talks Mr RK!" He chuckled at her which fumed her more. "And by the way, what do you want? Is this your bike?" He sarcastically nodded in simper. Madhu got her answer- she looked down at the seat cover which she had pierced beautifully through her key. Get ready for another lecture, Madhu Beta! She looked at him in guilt but saw him adjusting on the nearby bike. "So... I guess your ankle is fine now." "Won't you go home, RK?" But she got a silence in return with a brief gaze from him- quite strange. Following it, he uttered trying to be casual, "I usually go late. It's normal. You tell me, your ankle?" A normal answer to her... but still it impressed Madhu somehow and a bleak curve twisted her lips. "It's fine now. Thanks to your spray." "Hmm... Good. By the way... you acted too well upstairs hunn..." Hearing him, Madhu just hawed in amazement. She was caught. "Fantastic idea to escape... Superb cry!" His grin was embarrassing her more. "How did you know?" "Well... I am quite good at reading minds. It was so evident from your cry Miss Malik." She chuckled in reply. "What should have I done then? You scold so badly." "But that's for your good only na..." He was right in fact. He is not that bad hunn... "But I fell down for real hunn... It wasn't my plan." She vindicated honestly. "All because of your gym's rusted tread mill... RK, you are a part of this gym- a trainer. Why don't you ask them to change it?" RK giggled at her goofy words. "You are also a part of it. Why don't you ask them?" He is always ready with his witty answers. She immediately turned away to change the topic. "By the way Miss Malik..." "My name is Madhubala... Madhubala Malik. You can call me Madhu." Replied Madhu proudly. "I know that." "Then why do you call us by our surnames?" "Amm... Well... It's difficult to remember names of so many girls and you know na... how girls are?" he chuckled playfully. "By the way, don't you have any friends here Miss Malik?" "No. All girls seem so stupid here... too flirty!" She pulled her face. "See, I told you na... how girls are?" giggled RK. "That's so mean hunn... Not everybody is like that. But now I got... You try to be formal being a trainer. Right?" "I am not a trainer here, Madhu." It surprised her a lot- but wait, he called her name for the first time. "What?" "Yeah... Even I am also a trainee here... In the boys' batch after yours. I am just helping out my friend Karan for some time." "Haw! And you scold the girls so magisterially. Very bad it is." His truth made her feel offended. "What should I do then? You girls never get things straight." She glared at him in fume. "Hmm... So what do you do then? Since you're in my category now so I can freely interrogate with you... Introduction time, Mr RK!" RK chortled at her antic. He straightened himself for the interview. "I am RK." "Say something new yaar..." "Rishabh Kundra... I guess that's something new... Right?" Now she stared at him attentively- some new facts were about to reveal. "My name is Rishabh Kundra... son of businessman Mohan Kundra... And..." "Hey wait... Mohan Kundra!? You mean... CEO and MD of Kundras Machineries... Mohan Kundra??" Now her curiosity was rising every second. Finally, he nodded in affirmation... so casually. "Oh my God!! You are his son??!! Rishabh Kundra??!! My goodness!!" exclaimed Madhu in excitement that was disporting him a lot. "Calm down Madhu! Where I was... yes... I have recently joined his business so I have less burden for some time. That's why I thought to utilise it here till my training completes there... I am a fitness freak actually... and a bike freak too. Karan asked to help him in his staff's absence so I became your trainer too... Morning 10 to 4 passes in office and after that, here... I think my intro completes here!" All the while he talked, Madhu was gazing at him in wonderment. RK snapped his fingers to bring her back. "It's your turn Madhubala Malik." "Aahh... Well... I don't have a branded introduction like you." Both of them chuckled. "I am a 4th year Mechanical Engineering student. It's my vacations going on so I joined here." "Vacations? In 4th year? Are you kidding me Madhu?" asked RK surprised. "I have also studied ME engineering and I know how hectic the last year is... There aren't any vacations yaar... Placements, projects, seminars... lot to do!" Madhu grinned at his sudden shocked reactions. "Now you get relax, RK! Thing is... my Dad wants me to be an engineer but I have interest in 3D Animation. So I won't take any placement. After my graduation, I'll study animation for sure and I won't listen to him anyway. It'll be my dream's time!" "Ahaan... You've got guts, girl!! I like it!" "O Madam ji! Your scooty is ready." Shouted the mechanic- finally putting a halt to their endless talks. Madhu hurriedly checked it, settled the charges and put on her helmet. "Wait Madhu. I'll drop you." "It's OK, RK. I'll go." "It's quite late now and I think, someone's ankle is hurt. The way you are jumping, pain might emerge again and then you won't have my spray in mid-way." Madhu shyly started her scooty and spoke, "Patel Colony." With a wink and drove out of the lot to which RK's bike followed too...
At the Patel Nagar Circle, they stopped at the road side. "I'll go from here alone, RK! Thanks. My home is nearby only." "Are you sure? Ok then... drive safely. Bye!" He accelerated a bit but stopped again, "Queen's Enclave!" He passed her the same wink and drove away leaving behind a blushed Madhubala.
Next day 5 in the evening, Madhu was driving past the Patel Circle on her way to the gym when she saw a familiar figure on the bike near the road side. Is he RK? She acutely narrowed her eyes through the helmet glass to figure him out properly. OMG! It's him!! What's he doing here? She sped up her scooty to reach him.
Since 15 minutes, RK was sitting lazily on his bike near the road side, swirling his key chain in his fingers looking all around. He idly looked into the rear mirror and saw her coming. "Finally!!" He trailed his fingers to set his hair. Within few seconds, Madhu stopped her scooty nearby him. "Hey! RK! What's up? What are you doing here?" asked her curiously. "Hi. Mmm... nothing. I was waiting here for someone." Absolved RK casually. Madhu looked around but saw no one near him. She turned back to saw him putting on his helmet. "Who, RK?" RK accelerated his bike and drove a little ahead but stopped again, "Aren't you getting late, Madhubala? It's only 15 minutes left." And he drove in front. Was he waiting for me? A gamey smile twisted her lips.
The last night introductory conversation definitely changed their equation today. Miss Malik's scolding ratio dropped a bit today- may be Mr RK taught her well... or may be... she didn't feel like getting chided! Strange! Session was over and it was her time to go back home. In the parking lot, she opened her scooty's storage and saw a metallic sipper. "Oho. It's RK's!" I must give it back now else he'll preach another moral lecture! She giggled at her own thought and ran upstairs.
She slowly entered the gym section looking around, behind the machines for RK. And there she caught him finally! A perfect V shaped, well-toned naked torso, lying down the abs pro seat, doing speedy crunches. Madhu stealthily hid behind the equipment. Her eyes were desirously grazing every curve of his body as he moved to and fro. Though she was a distant from him, her eyes could easily magnify the tiny sweat drops sliding down his naked torso. She didn't realize when her throat dried up in ecstasy. Still her lustrous glittering eyes were denying to turn away from the sexy visual in front of her. As his body moved back and forth, her grip on the sipper would increase in exaltation. "Excuse me?!" A virile voice interrupted her at last. She promptly turned back to face him anxiously. "Madhu? What are you doing here?" asked Karan confusingly. Words were jumbling up in her mind- what to answer him. All she could do was stutter in before him. "Any problem Madhubala?" "Amm... Wo... Actually... Wo... I... I came here to give this... sipper back to RK." Finally she uttered. "Oh. But that you can give after the session also no... Girls are generally not allowed in boys' batch. Anyways... RK!! Come here." RK queered to at his call and went. "Madhu?! You... here?!" wondered RK. Oh my serious God!! He is in front of me! I am gonna die right here!! Madhu gulped down her mouth water to calm her leaping heart and mind. "Madhu..." His potent voice broke her hypnotic fascination. "Do you need anything?" "Aaa... yeah... This... This bottle! I mean... it's yours... Just came to return it back. Thanks hunn!" And she speedily walked out from there in embarrassment.
RK worked out for quite long today. It was already 7:45 now. He rushed to catch his bike but suddenly stopped in mid-way. "Madhu?!!" marvelled RK. She was lazily sitting on her scooty, certainly playing games in her mobile. With his voice, she quickly stood up. "What are you doing here alone hunn?" She coolly took out her helmet and started her vehicle, "I was waiting for someone." "Who?" asked RK perplexed. "Aren't you getting late now, RK? Come out fast now!" and she drove out of the parking lot.
It has become a routine now. Neither of them directly expressed but they would wait for each other in both the trips habitually every day. If either of them got late, he had to face the wrath of the other surely. Eventually, this habit was making them more comfortable. They got to know each other quite well by now. But a little RK knew about Madhu's secret admiration. Whenever he was in the gym area, she used to pass by there, just to steal his sexy visuals, though she got caught by others many a times. "Oh God! It's too difficult to pass one hour." Gnarled Madhu in the parking area. "God knows why he has to work out so much when he's a perfect body! Silly Kundra! It's too late yaar... I have to find something to pass my time." She stomped upstairs at last.
As usual, she crawled outside his gym section, just to steal away his glances. And as usual, it's time for her to get captured- it was Karan's turn again. "Madhu?! Again here?" "NO NO! I am not roaming here today. I was looking for you only." She lied. "I want to ask if you have any girls' batch running in any programme here. I want to join it." "Oh. Yes, we have Aerobics classes going on. But Madhu... why do you need that? I mean... look at yourself. You're perfectly fit." "Thanks. But I want to join it. I am loving this place." Another attempt to cover up. "That's good then. Which slot you want? We have four currently running." "6- 7 one." "You can join it today only. We'll deal with the fees tomorrow. Come with me." Both entered an adjacent room to the workout area. "Hey Sarika." Karan addressed the Aerobics trainer. "She is your new novice, Madhubala Malik." "Ok. Come inside dear. Join us." A big lot of girls was already there in that small room. But Madhu had no option other than to join that folk- she has to pass her time anyway. Why every girl needs to learn Aerobics here only? Stupid chicks! She walked at the back of the lot muttering gibberish. Nothing was getting clear to her from the back but it actually didn't matter much- Madhubala was already not interested. She dismissively started following the steps, copying the nearby girls and dully looking all around when suddenly she noticed something. It was a wide glass window on the wall. But something was more shocking than that wall. Madhu immediately disrupted a girl adjacent to her in whisper, "Excuse Me." "Hi. What's up?" replied the girl. "What's with this glass window? I mean..." "Oh! This one... I knew you'll ask about it." Madhu stared at her perplexedly. "Are you noticing that lady in front...? Our trainer... Miss Sarika Garg. All credit goes to her for this glass." The girl chuckled in susurration. "She is Karan's girlfriend... the gym owner Karan." "What?" Madhu was surprised to hear that. "Ssshhh... Talk slowly. Yes, she is... but a dire one! A month back, Karan got engulfed in an affair with one girl trainee and this Madam got to know it... I tell you, what an amazing fight they had!! Even we saw it. Then Sarika decided to frame this glass here... to have an eye on her poor boyfriend." Now this was something interesting to Madhu... amusing too. "Poor soul, Karan... couldn't afford to deny her demand!" "That's too absurd no... I mean who does that?" objected Madhu. "She is one antique piece you see... Now at least she has left him free for some hours but earlier, till the gym's gates shut, Sarika used to sit here along with him. Too obsessive she is! Poor man, he totally stopped interacting informally with ladies here... At least now, she takes only 4- 5 classes and go... Thanks to this frame!" "But this is quite uncomfortable no... for girls. We can see the gym section clearly from here yaar and they can also..." "This is her master piece darling." Winked the girl. "It's one side silver coated glass. That means only we can see the other side but not vice versa... Now, did you get it baby?" Finally, the gooselike Madhubala was getting the logic. "For Sarika, it must be a spy eye but for the other chicks, it's a god gift." "Why so?" again a dumb stroke from Madhubala. "Awe! You are so naive yaar... Just look at that man... In the blue vest..." That girl's voice automatically changed to the drooling one. Madhu acutely looked there... RK!! She knows him?! "He is RK... Rishabh Kundra!! Awe... My handsome! Every girl present here comes only to have his glimpse... Bas!! Else who is interested in learning this boring Aerobics here..." Madhu's teeth were gritting in fury- Silly fille! Couldn't they find any other guy here... Eyeing on RK only!! "But he never pays any attention to anyone... So mean he is!! I heard, he is engaged with a girl here... Lucky her!" While that poor girl pouted, a huge mischievous grin curved on Madhu's face in pride. Well... The reason was quite obvious.
Later evening in the parking lot, "RK, I joined the Aerobic class today. It was just amazing!!" "You too joined it?!" wondered RK. Madhu looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" "Nothing!" He simply giggled at her innocence. Since the day, Madhu got to know about the glass fiasco, it just added to her fantasy. Finally, she was able to drool over her favourite sight everyday constantly for an hour without any fear from being caught. After all, everyone was doing the same job... even her trainer too! Indeed, it turned out to be a worthy session for Miss Malik!! One day, she entered her class but found no one there. Wow! Nobody here. Bingo Madhu!! She hurriedly dragged a bench, exactly in front of the glass and started her drooling session- with a goofy smile on her face and eyes just stuck on her thing!! Minutes passed but nobody came while on the other side, boys' session was going on as usual- and Madhu didn't bother about it. A lad entered- seemed to an assistance there. "Didi, today is an off. No Aerobics class." "What? But nobody told me yesterday." "I don't know. You talk to your trainer tomorrow. Now come out. I have to lock this room." Madhu deplorably went down to her only place left- parking area.
"Why were you gazing at me today, Madhu?" She was putting on her helmet when his oppugn froze her. She promptly turned back to RK who was naughtily smirking at her. "How... How did you know? I mean... that... glass..." "...Got changed today, sweetheart!!" Madhu twitched her eyes in shame. You've done a blunder, Madhubala!! "The glass got a crack in the morning so Sarika called off the class today and for today, they placed the transparent one. Didn't you notice it in the gym, Madhu?" She simply denied in embarrassment. How can I do that when you are around me? You are actually a dumb, Madhu!! Stupid!! Words were lost somewhere in her mouth. "No problem." RK slightly bent forward and husked, "Now the million dollar question. Why were you gazing at me... Miss... Malik??" She quickly donned her helmet and started her scooty uttering, "I am getting late. Bye!" And rushed out in blush without waiting for him. "But I know it, Madhubala!" murmured RK in simper.
As usual, it was 5 in the evening the next day and Madhu reached their common spot- Patel Circle. But to her surprise, RK was missing today. He didn't come today?! Strange. Madhu waited there for half an hour but no sign of him. Sadly, she decided to go alone today. In the gym too, she didn't find him anywhere. May be he'll come during his session. Consoling herself, she went to her Aerobics class. Whole time, her eyes were searching for him but still no glimpse to be seen. Same story repeated the next day and disappointedly, the entire week passed like that- Madhu would wait for him near the Circle, in the gym but he didn't come at all. She was lamentably sitting on her scooty seat and a tear dropped down- Madhu was missing him a lot! But suddenly struck her mind and she literally ran upstairs.
In the office room, Karan was chatting with some of his friends when Madhu knocked at his door. "Yes Madhu." "I need to talk to you, Karan." He came out of the room. "What is it?" "Aammm... Karan... Can I... Can I get a number from you?" She uttered hesitantly. "Of whom?" "RK..." Following a brief pause, he spoke, "I am sorry Madhu but I can't do that. It's against our privacy policies. We can't share contacts of our trainees with others." "But I am not any stranger, Karan. It's been quite long time now since I joined. You can trust me... I won't misuse it. It's just, I want to talk to him... casually. Please." She was resisting herself to plead but her anguish was emerging out now. "Of course I trust you Madhu but I am really sorry. I can't help you. But if you have any important message, I'll tell him." Should I ask him? What if he asked for the reason? "No... Nothing serious. Just normal thing it is. Thanks." She left disappointedly.
Next day, Madhu was driving needlessly to the gym. She has left waiting at the spot anymore. She was passing by the Circle when she finally spotted him- Rishabh Kundra... at last. A relieved smile quirked on her sad face. But she blew it away and sped up her vehicle, without looking at him and drove off. RK waved his hand but she didn't stop. After so many days, he was going to see her face but Miss Malik didn't give an eye to him. What has happened to her yaar?
In the gym, RK was constantly watching her indifferent behaviour towards him. She actually didn't look at him since evening and it was hurting him a lot. He went near her, "Madhu, I need to talk to you." "Karan... Can you help me with the crunches? The equipment is not moving properly." RK glared at her irately while she didn't bother to look at him and he furiously left from there.
Later in the evening, Madhu hurriedly reached the parking area. The anguish was clearly visible in her eyes- her hurtful behaviour towards RK was hurting her more! She opened her vehicle lock when she felt a rugged pull. His steaming enraged eyes were throwing daggers, so closely to her. Few of the people there walked past, staring at them. By now, many of the gym goers were aware of the duo. "What's this Madhubala? Hunn? What's this behaviour?" His tough grip and gritting teeth were clearly showing his vehemence of fury. Madhu, for obvious, winced in pain and loured with moist eyes, "Just leave my arm, RK! You're hurting me!" "NO!" He furiously pulled her closer. "I won't leave you! Until I don't get my answer, I won't let you go anywhere, Madhubala! Now tell me, why're you doing this hunn...? Why so much attitude? Why are you ignoring me damn it??!?" She pushed him away exasperatedly, "Why?? If you can ignore me then why can't I do that, Rishabh Kundra??" RK stared at her confused. "Hold on... Hold on... When did I bloody ignore you Madhu? What rubbish are you talking about?" Unknowingly, RK had poked her suppressed anger. Madhu furiously dashed her bag on his chest and exclaimed, "When did you ignore me? When? Do you have any shame Rishabh Kundra? For the past one week, you are neglecting me and you are asking your fault!!" Those brimmed tears finally shed down. RK was looking at her baffled- everything was going over his head. "Entire week, I waited for you near the Circle for almost half an hour every day; whole week, I waited for you in the gym. I even asked for your number from that Karan but he denied. And you... you just went disappeared so easily without informing me..." She again slammed her bag at him while he tried to save himself from the wrath. "You are such a Cheat, RK!!" Finally he understood the reason- but somewhere her flowing tears were solacing his heart. He gently walked near her, holding her shoulders and spoke, "Madhu, What would have I done then? That day, Dad asked me to go for an urgent meeting in Chennai, in the morning only. I had to leave right then... And... And how could I inform you hunn? I didn't have your number even. I was helpless, sweetheart!" She again jerked him off, "NO! You weren't! Had you asked my number from Karan, he would have given you... He is your friend but NO... you didn't try! Why would you... you don't bother if I live or die..." and turned her face aside. A flimsy smile quirked on his face hearing her words. He slyly slid her hair strands through his knuckles as she looked at him and husked, "Why were you missing me so much, Madhu?" She hit him again- not harder this time and cried, "Don't do any drama!!... You know everything!!" She was right- RK knew everything!! He lovingly pulled her closer through waist. His proximal intense gaze melted her enraged heart; she hugged him tightly and sobbed, "Don't you dare ever do this to me again!! If you did this... I'll kill you Rishabh Kundra... and myself too!!" RK warmly kissed her wet cheek, tightening his hug, "I won't do that again... Promise!!" And both snuggled more tenderly in each other's warmth...
