Rishbala SS: Frolic of Stars Part 14 on page 80 - Page 28

Madhu is missing Rk and he can't stay alone

Both are in love with each other but have not realized it. Both are missing each other.

I hope Madhu tells R.K that she is pregnant instead of complicating things.

Trishna is such a nice friend, she is a sweetheart

Scene 9

"No Madhu! i won't do it.. there's a limit.. I will call your husband now and tell him to get you your Cheese corn soup" Trishhna said as she picked up the phone. It was 3rd day of Madhu staying with them. And as she couldnt tell about her pregnancy to anyone else, it was just Trishna to whom Madhu made demands. But Trishna had seriously lost it now. Madhu was ever hungry. And to top it all her taste buds had decided to act fancy.

"Hello.. who's this?" Trishna said confused as the call got picked up from the other side.

"You are the one who called him stupid.." Madhu said irritated hearing her.

"Dipali? Who.." Trishna asked with a frown.

"Dipali!" Madhu's eyes widened hearing the name. Why is Dipali picking up RK's phone.

Madhu literally pounced on the phone and snatched it.

"Hello.. Who's this?" Madhu said in a strict tone.

"It's Dipali.. and you?" came a flirty voice

Madhu's blood boiled in her veins. "I am the wife of the one, whose phone you are attending.."

"Ohh.. Madhubala right?" Dipali said with a strange sarcasm in her voice.

"Where is RK?" Madhu asked back not wanting to answer her.

"Rishabh has gone to washroom.. I will inform him when he comes back.." it wasn't what she said but the way she said that made Madhu's eyes grow wide and jaw dropped. And moreover she called him Rishabh! And he was in washroom! And his cellphone is with her!

"Yeah" Madhu said in a clipped tone and disconnected the phone.

Trishna who was seeing her expressions transition, burst into a laughter. "Come on Madhu.. she must just be his colleague.."

Madhu looked at her but the displeasure didnt vanish from her face. She couldn't help but remember that morning when RK said that Dipali tried to kiss him. Well though he said that he was trying to gain her attention but he hadn't refuted the idea fully. Could it be possible that this Dipali was eyeing her husband?

RK came out of the washroom as he saw Dipali keeping his phone back on the table. He frowned but he knew he couldn't over react with his other colleagues on the table. They were in this hotel for a meeting and he had absent mindedly forgot his phone on the table. He walked towards them and sat in his place. He smiled suspiciously at Dipali and then checked his phone. Well, nothing unusual. He shrugged it off for the moment.

"Hello.." Rishabh picked up Madhu's call as he was sitting in his room now.

"Enjoyed your lunch today?" Madhu asked sarcastically.

"Yeah... besides why do you care?" RK said maintaining his being-upset act.

"Yeah right... you have other people to take care.. of your urges and needs.." she said sarcastically again.

" What?" RK said suddenly confused.

"Yeah.. whole afternoon passed and you didn't get a second's time to call me..." she said angrily.

"but i never call you in the afternoon.." he said even more confused.

"Yeah.. and now i know the reason.." Madhu said angrily and cut the phone.

"Ma.." RK was cut off.

"Really?!! First this woman left off abruptly and now she has the guts to scream at me for no reason!!" RK said exasperated. "You can't beat me Madhubala!"

Madhu was lying in her room as she gritted her teeth in anger. She had cut the call midway in the evening and he didnt even bother to call back. Does that mean he doesn't really care for her? He doesn't care whether she talks to him or not. Very well, if he doesn't care even she wont. But then why? Why is she being affected so much even when he is clearly not affected. No! She can't bear any stupid one sided love. She cant bear that pain. But then be it any sided.. the truth is that she is pregnant with his baby. And he will have to care any way.. by consent or by force. She decided in her anger.

"Very well" she said angrily. "Face my wrath Rishabh Kundra!" She said and picked up her cell.

Trishna shook awake hearing her talk to herself.

"Are you okay Madhu?" She asked worriedly

"Rishabh Kundra can't sleep in peace if I am not!" Madhu said angrily as she dalled his number.

"what?" Trishna said confused while half absorbed in her sleep.

"Hello RK.." she said as he picked up the phone in his sleepy voice.

"What Madhu?" he said sleepily.

"No! You can't sleep.." she said angrily.

"What have I wronged you girl? please let me sleep in peace at least.." he said begging.

"I want to eat chocolate ice cream!" Madhu said demandingly.

Trishna's eyes grew wide hearing her as did RK's.
"Madhu?! Have you gone mad?" RK asked as his sleep left him in shock.

Trishna checked the clock and it was 2 at night.

"Mad or whatever! I want a chocolate ice cream and i am sure of that.." Madhu said impatiently.

Trishna sat up bucking her up and giving thumbs up. Finally her trial was ending.

"Girl... you are angry for something..? Tell me.. What is it..? Dont act like a wierdo.." he said worriedly.

"That would have helped you if you had called me in the evening itself.. now i want chocolate ice cream.."

"Stop it madhu.. its not funny! Its past midnight!!" RK screamed in irritation. Suddenly there was silence on the other side. "Madhu?"

"Hmm" he heard a weak voice as if trying to stop herself from crying.

"Madhu are you crying?" He asked suddenly dreading and worried as he sat up forgetting his sleep.

"No.." another weak voice and then a muffled sob.

"I am sorry Madhu.. I am just coming.. dont cry please.. I will be there in 10 minutes.." he said as he started getting up.

"with a chocolate ice cream.." Madhu said still sobbing slightly.

RK rolled his eyes not believing her. She still kept his punishment intact. "Fine.." he said and rushed out of the house.

Trishna sneaked to the gate and peeked out as she saw RK standing on the other side.

"Open the gate.." RK said to her.

"No jeej.. i can't.. the keys are with Uncle and he is asleep.."

"So you both want me to deliver the ice cream and go away?" RK said shocked and angry.

"No no... You will have to climb up the wall.." Trishna said.

"Do you know Trishna.. I am lawfully thr son in law of this house." RK said annoyed.

"Yeah yeah.. I know.. but it wont look decent you coming here at midnight.. and besides Madhu has told uncle and aunty that you have gone out or station for a meeting.."

"What? Why did she do that?" RK asked confused. She came here abruptly even when she had to lie to her parents.

"I dont know.. now are you planning to melt the whole ice cream and then go to find it again or you plan to come in.." Trishna asked.

"Fine.." RK said as he walked to the wall on the side which was a little smaller. He climbed the wall and came in.

Both of them sneaked back into Madhu's room. Seeing Madhu sitting on the bed in her night dress made RK suddenly long for her uncontrollably. He walked to her and hugged her tight forgetting all his complaints. Madhu hugged him back. After a few minutes he broke the hug as he stared in her eyes with sorrow and longing. The pain of separation clearly shouting through his eyes as he touched her cheek while his thumb ran over her lips.

"Oh my God... Save me.." they broke out of the trance as they heard Trishna exasperated from the other end of the room..they turned to her and found her standing with eyes shut tightly. Madhu broke into a giggle while RK smiled amused.

"Its okay Trish.." Madhu said but RK cut her off. "Hold that for another minute, Trishna.." he said looking naughtily in Madhu's eyes while she shook her head at him dreading.

"I will go get water for all of us.." Trishna declared with her eyes still shut and turned around and walked off the room. As soon as she left, RK's expression turned to that of urgent passion and he pulled her close as he kissed her soundly and closely as if quenching his thirst as Madhu kissed him back. His hands playing his way on her. After some time they heard a knock and broke off. Madhu straightened herself quickly and RK parted a little because he knew he wont be able to control more with that level of proximity. After a few seconds, Trishna entered.

"Ahh.. I was so thirsty.." she shook her head as if genuinely and sat on the bed while RK and Madhu chuckled embarrassed.

"My ice cream.." Madhu said pouncing at the box that was till now kept unnoticed.

"You really wanted that ice cream at this time of the night?" RK asked confused.

"Yeah.. why else would you think i made you run all around at midnight.." she said as she opened the box and took a spoonful and ate it.

"I thought you want to punish me for something.." RK replied.

"Yeah.. that was an added benefit.. and that reminds me.. I am angry at you..!" madhu said looking at him with narrowed eyes.

" Why?" RK asked back confused. "You are the one who left me suddenly"

"i am angry and thats it" madhu said.

"That is no answer.."

"Come on.. stop playing riddles Madhu.." Trishna said rolling her eyes.

"She called you in the afternoon.." Trishna told him.

"Keep quiet Trish.." Madhu said angrily.

"You called when?" RK asked.

"When you were in the washroom of a hotel room with your darling.." Madhu said angrily trying to burn him with her gaze.

"What!! Hotel room!" RK almost screamed.

"Shh shh shh" Trishna and Madhu both started shushing him frantically.

"Ohh.. what! Hotel room!" RK said again now in a whisper.

"Yes.. I know it now.. No need to hide things." Madhu said stubbornly.

"Shut up Madhu.." Trishna intervened. She was somehow feeling bad that RK came running at this time and Madhu was instead playing childish. "Dipali picked up the call when she called you in the afternoon and said all that.." Trishna said.

"You know. You are not kept here as a translator" Madhu said looking at her angrily.

"I felt the need.." Trishna said looking back with equal anger.

"Let me intervene, girls.." RK interrupted them

"Firstly, Thanks Trishna.. I owe you that..." RK said genuinely. "And secondly, Mrs. Madhubala Jealous Kundra.. I was not in some 'Room'.. we were in a hotel for a meeting over lunch.. and I had forgot my cellphone on the table.. When I came back I saw Dipali keeping the phone back but there wasn't any call so I shrugged it off.." RK explained to her.

Madhu looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds. Getting satisfied that he wasnt lying, she took a spoonful and ate her ice cream again.

"Now your turn.." RK said staring at her.

"What turn?" Madhu asked confused.

"To give explanation.. why did you come here suddenly." RK asked angrily

"I wanted to meet my parents.." Madhu shrugged while Trishna rolled her eyes

"Met them? 3 days! Isnt that enough?? Let's go now.." he said to her as if tired.

"No.. And besides I cant go at this time of night.." she reasoned.

"why not? We will tell that I came back by an evening flight and took you away.." RK said angrily.

"Stop acting like a child!" Madhu said angrily.

"Yeah.. both of you.." Trishna said nodding her head like a grandma.

"and you need to behave like an invisible girl" Madhu said turning her head to her.

"No.. Madhu.. That wouldn't be of use.. Because even if she is invisible, she would be able to see us and comment.. it would be us who wouldn't be able to see her.." RK said thoughtfully while Trishna's eyes popped out not believing that he took it seriously.

"Really? Ohh.. so she must pretend like we are invisible, right?" Madhu said nodding her head. Trishna looked at her with equal surprise.

"Yeah... anyways.. please lets go yaar.. I am getting too lonely.. Even the PSP isn't of any help.." he said to her politely

Madhu looked at him sympathetically. "i will tell you in the morning then..." she said.

RK nodded his head. "Now go RK.. I don't want mom and dad to see u.." she said in a hurry.

"Cant I go in the morning..?" RK said hopefully and naughtily.

"No. There is no place for 3 of us to sleep in here.." Madhu said shaking her head in a negative while Trishna looked at him sympathetic.

"And besides I cant keep drinking water all night..." Trishna said teasing them.

Madhu smacked her arm. "Shut up.. he is going.."

"Fine!" RK said and got up.

Trishna came back after a few minutes after helping RK climb up the wall. "Madhu... Why are you still hiding it?" She sat beside her.

"What?" Madhu asked as she ate her ice cream

"Why didn't you tell him that you are pregnant?" She said.

"But.. I told you na.." Madhu said helplessly.

" You told me that he doesn't love you, the marriage was forced, you both are more of friends with benefits.. but I saw the complete opposite!" She said exasperated.

"Dont say anything... to make me happy" Madhu said angrily.

"Okay.. so you think he ran half the city at 3 in the morning for just his friend? When he saw you, the love and the longing wasn't for any friend. He wanted you, he missed you. Is he missing any other of his friend like that? Didn't you see that love in his eyes? And you said this marriage was forced. Even if he was forced, he regards it.." Trishna reasoned with her.

"How can you say that?" Madhu asked confused.

"He addressed you as Mrs. Madhubala Kundra. Why would he call you that if he didnt regard you as his wife?" Trishna said.

Madhu thought for a while as she understood what she said was right. "But Trish he doesn't love me.. and i dont want him to just acknowledge me or his love because i am pregnant.." she said with a sad face.

Trishna beat her head with her hand. "Wow... we are back to square one.." she said exasperated.

"And its past 3 am. You have taken off from office Madhu but I havent. So I am gonna sleep now.." Trishna said getting back into bed quickly dreading about her sleep and her next day while Madhu thought if she should really tell RK the truth.
