Thanks all for your likes & comments on the previous part...

Sorry for making you all wait for too long! I actually thought to concentrate on this story only after my exams as I didn't get the flow well... but suddenly I got a strange urge to write something... when I thought of stories... I got ideas only for this story... so thought to give u all one update before my exams... rest after June 11^th!

RECAP - Rk-Madhu pretends to hate each other in front of their families but they love each other deeply. Rk proposes Madhu on Valentine's day & they exchange rings. Next day in college Sultan comes & proposes Madhu but she rejects him & Rk hits him with a coke tin & warns him to stay away from his girl or else he will kill him.

Part - 3

"Why are you upset, Madhu?" Rk asked her as he sat beside her on the chair in their college canteen.

"Nothing!" Madhu said & looked down at her knotted fingers.

"Forget about that creep Sultan. If he troubles you again then you tell me... I will handle him." Rk said gritting his teeth.

"It's not that. I am not worried about sultan. He just got the wrong idea that I was not committed so he proposed me but now he knows I am already taken... so you don't fight with him. " Madhu said calmly to him. Rk just glared at her without a word.

"If it's not about sultan then why you look worried?" Rk asked her after few minutes of silence.

"Papa noticed my ring this morning while having our breakfast... but he didn't ask me anything... he was in a hurry for a meeting but I am sure he will question me this evening..." she said toying with the ring which Rk had presented to her last night.

"Oh!" He smirked coolly. "Even my mom noticed it."

"Then?"

"Then what? She asked me who gave me the ring as I have never worn any ring before... I was getting sick of hiding our relationship so I just told her the truth." He shrugged.

"How could you, Rk?"

"I told you last night itself if they ask me seeing the ring then I will tell them the truth... I just want to make our relationship open."
"Is that why you asked us to exchange rings?"

"Well, to be honest 'Yes'... I wanted to come open. I have told you to tell everything about us to your father for quite sometime now because I knew I can easily convince my parents... but you were so worried that your father might not approve of us & our love... just tell me for how long we can go like this Madhu?" he asked her. She remained silent. At one point they had to let their parents know about them then why wait? That was Rk's point & Madhu felt it was fair.

"I just wanted to know the result sooner. If your father turns a villain & opposes our love then I thought to ditch you & find some other sexy girl" He said with a wink. Madhu glared at him angrily & before she could think straight that he was just teasing her, she slapped him hard on his cheek.

"Ouch!" Rk cupped his cheek with his palm & rubbed it to ease off the burning sensation.

"I was just joking." Rk said through gritted teeth. His ego got hurt with her slap. How a silly girl can slap him?

"Life is not a joke!" she shouted at him with tear brimming eyes.

"Madhu, reduce your voice. We are in our college canteen." Rk warned her & looked around to see few students staring at them with interest.

"I am sorry" She whispered & bowed her head down.

"I am going!" Rk said not wanting to create a scene & stood up from the chair.

"Where?" Madhu panicked & followed him when he walked out of the canteen without answering her, angrily.

Rk sat on his bike & started it & roared the accelerator.

"Rishu... we have class." Madhu said as she turned the bike key to off it & took the key with her.

"Give me the key, Madhu."

"Rishu, I am sorry. I shouldn't have slapped you... but how could you think of ditching me?"

"Give. Me. The. Bike. Key." he asked in a menacing tone. Madhu gulped in fear & handed him the key back.

"What about the next class?" Madhu asked.

"You attend. I am leaving."

"I am also coming." Madhu sad & quickly claimed at the back of the bike & nestled closer to him & wrapped her hands around his stomach & rested her cheek on his back. Rk sighed loudly & started the bike.

"Where are we going?" Madhu asked lifting her head up after few minutes of drive.

"Shut up."

"Rishu... please don't be like this. I said I am sorry... & slow down the speed. I am getting scared." But just increased the speed of the bike making her hug him tight in fear. Then after few minutes he stopped the bike on the deserted highway.

"Get down!" Rk shrugged her off his shoulders. Madhu opened her eyes realizing the bike had come to a stop. Rk looked at the road ahead & when he could see no one, he swiftly turned to Madhu's side & pulled her in his arms, yanking her ponytail to meet his face & then he slammed his lips hard against her & gave her a punishing kiss for slapping him. Madhu was too stunned with his sudden assault & remained still like a deer caught in the head light. Rk kissed her hungrily & bit her bottom lip a little hard making way for him enter her mouth.

"Kiss me, dammit!" Rk growled at her & kissed her back but Madhu pushed him away with all her power.

"What are you doing, Rishu?" She asked him as tears stung her eyes. She then slowly took her shaky fingers to her mouth & touched her bottom lips & winced in pain. She saw blood on her finger. He had harshly bit her lips.

"See, what you have done? What will Papa thing of me if he sees this?" She asked him angrily point to the cut on her lip.

"Tell him I gave you a punishing kiss." he said irately looking away.

"Why? Because I slapped you?" She asked as she cried. "How could you hurt me like this Rishu? Don't you love me?"

"Of course I do love you... You hurt my ego." He said not at all feeling guilty for hurting her.

"But you love me... then there is no room for ego in our relationship." She spatted the words at him.

"That was our first kiss... but you spoiled it." She said in a sad tone as she roughly wiped her tears with the back of her hand in the most unlady like manner.

Rk acted on an impulse without realizing that was there first kiss & now he felt bad for hurting her & spoiling their first kiss. Again his ego didn't let him to apologize to her so leaned back on the bike & took a cigarette from his pocket & lit it. Madhu looked up to see him smoking & furiously marches towards him & slapped him hard again & his cigarette slipped from his mouth & fell on the round.

"How dare you?" Madhu pulled his hair & shk his head. "How many times I told you not to smoke & now, you are smoking in front of me, you moron?"

"Hey, leave me... you are hurting me." Rk tried to pry her hands off his hair but she had gripped him firmly.

"So are you. I hate you... I hate you... I hate you..." she started hitting him as she cried. Rk held her hands and jerked her against his body & kissed her again. This time he didn't f**k her mouth but gave her a gentle soft feather like kiss to calm her down. Madhu slowly calmed down & wrapped her hands around his neck & slowly traced her hands up & clutched his soft hair & pulled him closer to deepen their kiss. Rk gently sucked her bottom lip healing her cut.

"I am sorry." he said sincerely & kissed her forehead.

"I am sorry too." she whispered softly.

"Don't slap me ever again." he warned her.

"But you can kiss me like that again."

"What?"

"I actually liked it... it was rough but I liked it..."

"Then you didn't like this gently kiss?"

"I liked it too... I like to be kissed by you... I was waiting for you to give me a proper kiss but you were acting so pricey saying you will kiss me like that only after our marriage... & acted like a saint but now?" She smirked at him.

"Me? A saint?" he laughed.

"Sorry. You are anything but a saint. That's just a slip of my tongue." she said with a soft laugh.

"Even I wanted to kiss you for long but I couldn't trust myself. I don't want to step off my limits."

"I won't let you." she said confidently.

"Yeah yeah you won't let me & that I realized with the way you kissed me." he teased her. She blushed & hugged him.

"I know we love each other but I won't disgrace you, Madhu... and I won't betray the trust our parents have on us."

"But we are betraying them by acting we hate each other."

"That's why I told my mom & I am sure by now she would have told my dad too. It's only you to open the issue to your dad."

"Okay! I will tell him this evening."

"Good!"

"But I am scared."

"I m with you, Madhu." Rk cupped her face & kissed her forehead.

"I love you, Rishu."

"Who will not love me, Madhu? I am born to be loved, baby!" he said to her, pompously. She slapped his cheek again but not hardly, just playfully. Rk closed his eyes in irritation but was surprised when Madhu stood on her toes & kissed him gently.

"One slap - One kiss! Deal okay?" Madhu asked him cutely. Rk chuckled & hugged her tightly.

"Keep slapping me all your life, Madhu." he whispered near her ear. Madhu giggled hugging him.

"Come, Let's go home." Rk released Madhu from his hold & sat on his bike & quickly Madhu hopped on the back.

"So you told Radha aunty?" Madhu asked back on their way.

"Yes."

"What she told." she asked worriedly.

"She was actually happy... she always loved you & that you know... she was so shocked & stunned initially... she asked how come we love when we both hate each other. I told her that we were bored of this hate game so now gonna play a new love game..." Rk said in a teasing tone & Madhu slapped his arm hardly. Rk stopped the bike & with his left hand he pulled Madhu forward & soundly kissed her lips & then made her sit steady, then he started back his bike.

"Our love is not a game, Rk." she scolded him.

"What happened to your sense of humor? Why today you are talking every damn thing so seriously?" Rk asked her pissed.

"I find no humor in whatever nonsense you say." she retorted him. Rk shook his head but didn't comment back.

"So what else she said?"

"She was worried Malik uncle will say about it. You know, we are not as rich as you people. My dad works for your father so will he give his daughter to someone below his status level."

"Hmm..." That was exactly Madhu worry.

"She also feels we are still young. It's not the right time to talk about love & all."

"I know. That's what I was trying to tell you for long."

"Madhu... I don't want your father to find out from outsiders & get angry with you... so its better you tell him & make him understand."

"Okay, that makes sense. Tonight I will talk to Papa."

"Don't forget to tell few extra lines like 'Papa, I love Rishu... I can't live without him... he is a gem of a man... I should have done some god deed in my previous birth to deserve someone like him in my life... he is the reason for the smile on my face... he is my God so I wanna worship him all my life..."

"God!" she moaned in frustration hearing his self appraisal.

"Yes, baby?" he said turning to her.

"You are not my God! You are a devil born to torture me... but still I love you." She said irately making him burst out laughing.

"Rk stop here. From here I will go home." Madhu said when they reach one street before her house.

"Why?" Rk asked confused.

"I don't want papa to see us together."

"Anyway you are gonna tell him tonight right?"

"Yes but before that I don't want to get caught."

"Okay!" Rk sighed loudly & halted his bike a street before her house.

"Promise me, Madhu you will tell about us to you father by tonight."

"I will promise but before that you make me one promise."

"What?" Rk asked confused.

"Promise me you won't smoke ever again in your life."

"I hardly smoke now a days just because you don't like it..."

"Then quit it completely."

"Madhu..."

"That's not good for health, Rishu... I don't want anything to happen to you... I want to grow old with you... please."
"Madhu, nothing will happen to me." Rk tried to reason her. "You don't know how hot I look with a cigarette in my mouth."

"Gah! I don't like the smell of cigarette & when you kiss me it stinks." she makes a disgusted face hoping at least now he will listen to her.

"Even I don't like your strawberry flavour lipstick but I tolerated it right? So you too tolerate." He said rudely.

"Don't forget your promise Mr. Rishab kundra!! Your life belongs to me. You gave your life to me & only I have the right to take it away from you... not a damned cigarette! Got it?" she shouted at him angrily.

"Okay! Only you can kill me... I quit smoking from this moment, happy?" Rk asked throwing the cigarette packet on the side walk.

"Very happy!" Madhu smiles & hugged him. Rk smiled & hugged her back.

After dinner, Malik went to his study while Madhu sat in her room contemplating whether to tell or not. She couldn't pluck the courage to tell about her love & the man she loves. She felt she was still so young to talk about this to her Papa. She wished her mother was alive to guide her. She could have easily shared her feelings with her mother without any hesitance but she didn't had that luck.

She looked up at the direction of her room door hearing a timid knock.

"Yes" she replied, opening the door, to her servant, Patil

"Malik Sir is calling you to his study."

"Okay. You go. I will see him." Madhu said.

Taking a deep breathe, she entered into his father's study room.

"Papa! You called me?"

"Yes, beta. Come here. Sit with Papa. I wanna talk to you."

Madhu went & instead of sitting beside him on he bed, she sat on the floor & rested her head on her Papa's lap.

"What happened, darling?" Malik asked his baby girl caressing her head.

"Papa... that..."

"I know something is bothering... you were so nervous in the dinning table so I thought to talk with you... what is it Madhu?"

"Papa... I... I am sorry"

"Sorry? For what?"

"Papa... I... I... love Rishu." she said looking straight at her Papa's face.

Malik watched her impassively. She couldn't read what he was thinking.

"Papa..."

"How long?" he asked after beat.

"long enough to fall in love..."

"Tell me exactly how long, Madhu?"

"I always liked him though he didn't... but we started loving from past two years... since his bike accident."

"But you both fight like cats & dogs right?"

"We pretended to hate each other in front of you & his parents so we won't get caught."

"Why you didn't tell me all this before?"

"I am sorry Papa... I didn't have the courage to... to tell you..."

"Madhu... you both are still so young..."

"I know Papa... but we love each other..."
"How important Rishab is to you?"

"I love Rishu. Papa... I can't live without him..." she said to Malik with tears streaming down her eyes. "You know, he is a gem of a man... I should have done some god deed in my previous birth to deserve someone like him in my life..." She stops & smiles remembering that she was just tell the same words Rushi told her to tell her father. She thought he was crazy & being pompous but now she realized whatever he said was the truth. She felt exactly the same for him. "he is the reason for the smile on my face..."

"Whoa! I heard enough from you... call Rishab & ask him to meet me tomorrow evening in the office."

"Papa..."

"Do as I told you. I want to talk to him & make sure he is worthy for my daughter."

"He is, Papa."

"That I will decide." He said & Madhu nodded her head.

"But please don't insult him. Be polite with him. I love him." Madhu pleaded to him.

"Go to your room & sleep."

Madhu nodded & stood up.

"Madhu wait."

Madhu turned & looked at her papa.

"Did that ring?"

"Yes, Rishu gifted me for valentine's day. He is also wearing a similar one."

"Hmm..."
"Rishu told Radha aunty about our love..."

"Oh! When?"

"Today morning. When she saw the ring in his finger."

"Even I got suspicious... but I just brushed it off... well, what she told?"

"She likes me... so she is happy for us... though she worried for your reaction."

"Okay! Now you go, sleep. I will talk to Rishab." Malik dismissed her. Madhu worriedly went to her room & called Rk to tell her conversation with her father & also informed him to meet her father the next evening in his office. Though Rk told her not to worry saying he will convince her father with his charm, Madhu couldn't sleep peacefully, she just twisted & tossed on the bed.
