"Ahhh..." She screamed in pain.

"I can't do this" she cried.

"You are almost there... Please try hard" the doctor standing beside her said in a stern voice.

"No!" She groaned in intense pain.

"Just one hard push... The baby will come out..."

"No! Ahhh... Goddd! I want my husband. Please let him in... Please... I want to see him" she pleaded amidst her tears & loud screams.

"I want to see him one last time..." She breathed hard. She lost hope that she will survive & see her husband & her baby. At least she wanted to see her husband before breathing her last. She wanted her husband promise her that he will take care of their precious little baby for whom they yearned for.

"Doctor, her pulse rate has reduced & she has started hemorrhaging internally. Its dangerous for both the mother & the child to survive"

"We need to go for a C-section. Ask her husbands consent on whom we should save if we couldn't save both the lives." The chief doctor orders her assistant.

"Save my child... Please" she said panicking. She doesn't both about losing her life. She wanted to her child's life.

The doctors passed a worried glance & the chief doctor nodded at a nurse to go out of the OR & get signed in the consent form.

"Everything is alright dear. Just take deep breathe. You will be fine..."

"I dont care about my life. I want my baby safe. Please let my husband in... I want to see..." Before she could finish her sentence she screamed a piercing cry as she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. By now she had started hemorrhaging out & she was soaked in the pool of blood.

Gritting her teeth hard she gave a hard thrust to her swollen belly & a second later the room was filled with a loud cry of a baby.

"Here, take hold of your baby" the doctor handed the baby swathed in blue sheet to him. His eyes filled with happy tears.

"My child!" He whispered & planted a soft kiss on the baby's forehead.

"My... My wife... She is alright?" He asked panicking.

"Sorry... We really tried hard but we couldn't safe your wife. She lost so much blood & she was too weak to take in the excruciating pain. she died the moment her gave birth to her child." The doctor said in a sad tone & quickly grabbed the baby from him when he was about to drop the baby down. Then he collapsed on the floor & fainted.

"Awe... Such a cute baby" she said admiring the beauty of the little baby swathed in a towel.

"Yes, she is" he gave her a faint smile.

"Boy or girl?" she asked him as she gently caressed the cheek of the baby. The baby stirs & lets out a soft cry.

"Oh dear" she cooed & took the baby from her husband's hand.

"It's a baby girl." he replied.

"So we are having a beautiful angel, here?" she asked the baby gently bouncing the baby in her arms to stop her cry.

"Yes, she will be here" her husband standing beside her said nonchalantly.

"What?" she asked her husband with a frown.

"Yes"
"You must be kidding! What her mother will do if we have her baby girl with us?"

"She is no more" He said in mere whisper.

"What?" she asked shocked & the baby started crying even louder.

"Padminiji died in labor" Radha gasped in shock hearing her husband Mohan say this tragic news & her eyes welled with tears.

"How is Malik Bhaiya?" Radha asked in concern.

"He is devastated. He didnt look at his child too. he asked me to take her with me so I brought the baby with me from the hospital. Radha look after her" Mohan works for Malik in his company but they both were more like friends than employee & boss. Mohan had been working for years now in Malik's company & he was one trusted person by Malik so he had handed the biggest responsibility of looking after his new born baby to him till he cope up with the loss of his wife.

"Yes... Yes... I will take care of her." Radha promised her husband & they heard another loud cry but this time it was not from the baby in her arms, It was her two months baby boy lying on the bed & crying to seek his mother's attention.

Radha rushed to the bed & placed the baby girl which she had in her arms on the bed next to her son as she gently patted his stomach. His crying fit ceases when the little baby girl lying beside him entwined her puny fingers with his. From that day the two little kiddos grew together.

(20 years later)

"Madhu Darling!" Malik knocked at Madhubala's bedroom door. Madhubala was the only daughter of Shamsher Malik, a very successful business magnate. She was one beautiful chirpy bubbly girl but very down to earth. She loved her father so much though he hardly find time for her. Since the demise of his wife Padmini he became a workaholic burying his grief in work.

"Yeah, Papa" she calls from inside & a moment later she opened the door.

"Darling, I have an urgent meeting, I am leaving to office now so I can't make breakfast with you..."

"Oh!" she said, upset.

"Sorry, Darling" he said caressing her hair. "Why don't you have breakfast with Mohan uncle & Radha aunty?" he suggested. Since Madhu was a baby, she was nurtured by Radha. Radha & Mohan treated Madhu like their own daughter. They didn't show any difference in showing their love to their Son Rishab & to Madhu.

"Well, I wish to have breakfast with them but..."

"What, Darling?" Malik asks patiently.

"That Devil is coming back home today from his friend's sister's wedding & I don't want to see him in the morning itself & spoil my mood" Madhu grumbled.

"Madhu, Rishab is a nice boy so don't address him as devil" Malik admonished his daughter. "Okay, I will leave. You take care"

"Bye, Papa" she waved her hand at him with a smile.

"Radha aunty" Madhu back hugged Radha who was cooking in kitchen.

"Madhu... I was waiting for you."

"Why?"
"I made your favorite gobi parathas. Why don't you taste?"

"Really?" Madhu beamed at her. Then Radha placed a paratha on a plate & handed it to her.

"Yummy!" Madhu appreciated tasting a bite.

"Mom! I told you to make my favorite Aloo parathas not hers" Rk aka Rishab emerged into the kitchen island glaring at Madhu.

"Hi, Rishu" Madhu smiled at him, sweetly.

"I told you not to call me Rishu!" he barked at her. "It's RK!"

"Sorry, Rk" Madhu whispered & silently started eating her paratha.

"How many times I have told you not to make my poor baby girl upset? Why don't you listen to me, Rishab?" Radha scolded her son.

"How many times I have told you not to give over preference to this 'rich girl'?" Rk retorted his mother.

Hearing him call her 'Rich Girl', Madhu got angry & placed the plate on the counter top with a thud & walked passed him not before glaring at him with her rage filled eyes.

"Madhu, beta... don't take his words seriously. Come on have your breakfast." Radha followed her.

"It's okay aunty. I will have from home." She said softly & ran to her house.

The same evening, Madhu feeling bored being cooped up in her room, decided to go out for a walk to the nearby library to read some books.

Though she had number of cars & drivers to pick & drop at her call, she preferred walking.

She locked her house gate & started waking but felt paranoid. She turned around to see whether someone was watching her but found no one. She looked up at Rishab's bedroom window but it was closed. Then she shook her head & started walking. She jumped a step back scared when she heard a screeching sound of a bike.

"Hey! Get on the bike" Rk ordered.

"I won't!" she said & started walking but Rk held her hand & twisted it little painfully.

"Leave my hand! You are hurting me" she tried to release her hand from his grasp but it was a futile effort.

"Then. Get. On. The. Bike." he emphasized each word. She looked around to see people staring at them with interest.

"Okay" she agreed not wanting to create a scene in public, that too not close to her house so reluctantly she sat on the back of the bike.

"Hold me tight." he ordered her again. She folded her hands protectively over her body & turned her face.

"Hold me!!!!!" he barked at her making her jump. Then she quickly wrapped her arms around his stomach.

"Good" he smiled & started the bike.

"You are not going to talk to me?" Rk asked innocently. She remained silent.

"Angry?" He asked.

"Yes"

"Good!" he smirked.

"Why you called me 'Rich girl'?" she asked him slowly resting her head on his shoulders.

"Because you are" he shrugged.

"RK, please, I don't like you calling me 'rich girl'. Have I ever behaved like rich pampered brat?"

"It's Rishu" he corrected her ignoring rest of her sentence.

"God! You are so confusing. You want me to call you Rk or Rishu?"

"Rishu!"

"But then at your place you warned me..."

"When there is no one around us just the two of us, then you call me Rishu because I like it that way."

"Okay... now back to my problem... why you behaved rudely with me in the morning? & now too?"

"You know why" he replied.

"Rishu, please... give me sometime"

"How long, Madhu?" he asked.

"I don't know... we are still in college..." That's her standard reply to him whenever he rekindles the same topic.

"Where you want to go?" He asked not wanting to hear her same old yapping.

"Library"

he snorted. "Boring place! Shall I take you to some movie?"
"Hmm... okay! But what movie?"

"I heard 'Saala Kudoos' movie is awesome..."

"Okay Mr. Kudoos, we will go for that movie" Madhu teased him & pressed a kiss on his shoulder. He smirked & rode the bike to the nearby Cinemas.

(A weeks later)

"Madhu... wake up" Rk gently patted her shoulder.

"What are you doing in my room? How you came here?"

"I m in your room so that I can take you with me. & I came in through your balcony! Now come with me"

"What? No!"

"Why you always ask me so many questions? or deny me?" he asked irately.

"Where?" she asked.

"You will see, come" he held his hand out for her.

"What if Papa sees us?" She hesitated

"He won't. He is soundly sleeping"

"Okay" she nodded her head & took his hand.

"It's cold" Madhu whispered when they reached Rk's bike which he had parked outside Madhu's house.

"Here" he shrugged off his jacket & passed it to Madhu.

"Thanks" She smiles sweetly before pulling it over her shoulders. He smiled back & kissed her temple before starting his bike.

After an hour drive they reached their destination. he had brought her to a lake side.

"Wow! Such a beautiful place!" Madhu said in wonder. The lake shimmered in the moon light. The place gave both an eerie yet romantic feel. Eerie because it was dark & silent. Romantic because she was with her man. Her love of the life.

"Rishu..." she turned back & saw him setting the bonfire. She walked close to him & sat down on his lap throwing her hands around his neck.

"Why you brought me here?" she asks gazing at his mesmerizing dark eyes.
"Happy Valentine's day, Madhu" he whispered in her ear & kissed her cheek gently.

"Happy Valentine's day, Rishu" she kissed him on his cheek.

"You know... 2 years back I proposed you on the same day..."

"I remember" Madhu said shyly. "But you didn't propose me... you just said..." She paused remembering the day which she wanted to forget in her life but she couldn't...
