Part 10
RK stood there for a while but she didn't open the window again. He turned around when he heard someone humming a song.
"Pehla Nasha pehla khumar...Naya pyar hai naya intezaar...la la la la la.." Rohan was dancing with his eyes closed imagining Trishna with him. He twirled and stopped and opened his eyes and saw RK standing right in front of him giving a stern look.
"Aaa" He shouted the moment he saw him.
He took deep breaths as he got scared "you almost gave me a mini heart attack" He said keeping his hand on his chest.
Rk jerked his head and went in front of the mirror and started observing his face carefully
"Ro...tell me one thing...do I look like a veerapan?" He turned around and asked the question from Rohan who was lying on the bed, smiling looking at the fan. Rohan looked at him and said
"Turn your face towards left"
RK turned his face
"Now right"
RK did that again
"Hmmm...a lil bit from this side...just a glimpse" Rohan said
RK shot up his brow and took a cushion and threw it towards Rohan "Just shut up pig"
"Bro...this is for the third time you are asking me the same question" Rohan said catching the cushion.
"Second!" RK rectified
"Ya whatever...but why dude?"
"Nothing...leave it"
"Anyway thanks for letting me stayover...now i can meet her tomorrow" Rohan said excitingly.
"hmm" RK sat on the bed and after few seconds of silence he finally decided to open up "Rohan I want to tell you something"
"Yup what is it?"
RK took out that photo which he had kept in his wallet and showed it to Rohan "See this"
"This is your picture right"
"Hmm...but"
"But this hair style...Rk i have never seen you in this hairstyle" Rohan said carefully looking at the pic
"Exactly!!!!!!!! because I never keep my hair like this" RK said
"What are you trying to say this is not you?"
RK gave a nodd
"So if it's not you then who is he?" Rohan asked in a serious tone
"I don't know" RK shrugged is shoulders.
**************
On the other hand Trishna's words were echoing in Madhu's mind and she remembered her first meeting with Abhay
Flashback
It was late at night...Madhu was on her way back home...as the bus stop was near her house she preffered walking.
"hey baby"
"come on let's have some fun" Two man followed her and started passing dirty comments.
Madhu avoided and walked faster when a man came in front of her and stopped her way. he was one of them.
"get off my way" Madhu said clenching her teeth.
"We will but first let us have some fun with you" The man behind her said giving a lusturious look.
they started coming close to her when Madhu pushed them back and started running from there. both of them ran behind.
"Catch her quickly"
"You can't run away...we won't leave you"
Madhu looked behind to see them when she suddenly bumped into someone.
"hey watch..." The man said and looked at Madhu.
Neither of them could see eachother clearly. He then looked at those two men who stopped in the midway seeing both of them.
"What's going on...what do you want from her?" The man said standing as a sheild in front of Madhu
"The same thing that you want...let's make a deal three of us will have her one by one" One of the two said confidently.
"Okay"
Madhu looked at the man terrified.
"But...before that i want to give you guys one thing" He walked towards them
"What?" They asked in unison
"This" He punched one of them right in his face
The other one lifted his hand but he stopped him at the right time and gave a kick between his legs.
"Even now you guys want to have fun?" he asked them
"No no bhaiya she's like our sister...sorry didi"
Both of them joined there hands and ran from there as fast as they could.
The man turned around and now Madhu could clearly see his face as the street light directly fell on him.
She looked at him with wide eyes. She had never seen a man like him so handsome and so charming. She walked towards him and he saw her face as now even her face was clearly visible because of the light. He was mesmerized with those beautiful eyes but her specs irritated him. He gestured her to remove them
"what?" Madhu couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
"Leave it nothing" he chuckled
"Umm thanks Mr.??"
"Abhay Raichand"
"Abhayyy" Madhu stretched his name.
"And you are??"
"Madhubala Malik"
Madhu came out of her memories and shut her eyes.
*************
"RK...what's inside this room...and why the door is locked?" Rohan asked him twisting the knob
"don't you remember...the care taker said it's a store room and it's closed for years...and I never bothered opening it."
"Oh ya it just completely slipped off my mind"
"Ya as expected" RK said and lay down on the bed"
Rohan lay next to him and after few seconds he asked him "RK this is so strange na...don't you think you should talk to Madhu about that pic?
"Hmm I thought of that this morning when i went to ask her for the coffee...but then even she didn't talk to me about that...I mean the way she came to my house in search of that locket i am sure she must have opened it and saw that the pic is missing"
"So that means she doesn't want to talk to you about that"
"May be"
"Now what will you do?"
"I'll find out myself"
"But how?
"I don't know Ro...now stop eating my head and go to sleep"
*************
In the morning RK was setting his hair looking in the mirror
"Hello...Mr...where?" Rohan asked rubbing his eyes"
"Nothing I have to go for a meeting...I told you about expanding our bussiness in India right so I have a meeting with 2 3 clients regarding that...will see you in the evening" RK said
"What do you mean...am I not coming with you" Rohan asked getting confused with his behaviour.
"No it's just a brief meeting...anyway you have to go with Trishna to bring her car right...you carry on I'll be back till the evening"
"Okay...but how will you go?"
"Dude yesterday evening who went with me to collect my license...And i have taken a car on rent so will drive and go" Rk said keeping his wallet in his pocket
"Oh ya i forgot" Rohan said scratching his head
"Ya that's quite obvious because nowadays someone else is ruling your mind 24 hours" RK gave a taunt
"Ya that's true" Rohan agreed with a grin
"I am getting late...bye!"
"Drive safe"
****************
Trishna and Madhu were sitting on the dining table having their breakfast when the door bell rang
"Oh it must be Rohan" Trishna said to Madhu and quickly got up to open the door.
Madhu stopped in midway seeing her sister getting so excited to go with Rohan. Trishna opened the door and yes it was Rohan standing there showing all of his white bright teeth. Trishna too grinned and after a breif eyelock he asked her.
"So are you ready??...the mechanic called me...your car is repaired we have to pick it up"
"Yes yes...I am just coming" She went inside and checked herself in the mirror and in the mean time Madhu attended Rohan.
After few minutes Trishna came outside
"Hey by the way where is Rishabh?" Trishna asked Rohan
Madhu looked at him waiting for an answer...don't know why but she wanted to know where is he.
"He has gone for a meeting so he will comeback by the evening".
"Oh okay...chalo let's go...bye Madhu" Trishna said
"Bye didu"
***********
Somewhere else
RK got out of his car, removed his shades and locked the door. He was standing in front of a colony and gazed at the flats for a while. After 7 long years many things have changed. The flats had one additional room build up, the name board was new. The whole building was painted blue and grey. Fence were attached on the boundaries. He walked inside and looked around. Kids were playing in the garden, seeing them he remebered his childhood days. He went near the flat where he used to live.
"4th floor" he said and smiled
But his smile soon vanished away remembering something.
"Rishabh...uff Rishabh wait yaar...i can't climb these stairs like you please wait for me"
"Dips just few stairs more and you will be here with me" RK motivated her to walk faster
"Yeah as if I'll get a prize" dips said slowly climbing the stairs
"Dips why are you so materialistic?" Rk asked her
"Why what's the problem in that if I want a luxurious life...even you want money right?"
"Ya I do but more than anything I want you" He said giving his hand to her for support.
Dips smiled and held his hand.
RK came out off his trance when an uncle asked him to give way to him
"Ya sure uncle" he stepped aside
He took a deep breath and sat on an empty bench
***********
"So are you free in the evening?" Rohan asked Trishna as they were about to leave from mechanic shop
"Ya...but why?"
"Nothing i was just thinking what about going out somewhere...only if you are comfortable...you can bring Madhu too...even I'll call RK?"
Trishna looked for an answer as she hesitated a bit
"Look if you are not comfortable we can cancel the plan" Rohan said understanding her situaton
"No no don't cancel it...we'll come" Trishna said as she didn't want to hurt him
"Are you sure?"
"Ya ya absolutely"
"Okay then let me call RK and inform him" Rohan said in excitement
Rk who was still sitting on the bench picked up the phone after few bells.
"Ya bro we...I mean Trishna and i are planning to go out somewhere in the evening...are you coming with us?" Rohan asked even before RK could say hello
"Okay...anyway I am bored with your company...I'll be there...just message me the venue as I'll be little late"
"Okay Cool bye"
"bye"
***********
"Would you like to have a dance with me?" Rohan asked Trishna who was equally interested in shaking a leg with him.
She gave her hand in his hand and both of them went to the dance floor.
"Huh... after few months she will be throwing stuffs on him with he same hand" RK said making fun of both of them.
Madhu gave a weird look and said "Everyone is not like you Mr. Rishabh Kundra...There are people who still believe in true love."
"Ahaan!! Madhubala...you know me quite well...I like it!" he said while sipping his drink
Madhu jerked her head...while RK carefully looked at her for few seconds.
"So it means you believe in love?" RK asked her
Madhu looked at him in shock as her vision got blurred with tears. She had an answer to that question but she didn't have the courage to answer him. RK looked at those trembling lips which stopped the words to come out.
"Tell me Madhubala...Do you believe in love...umm Do you love someone?" RK looked at her expressions carefully wanting to know the answer
"No" She said and quickly stood up and started walking from there. RK couldn't understand so he followed her
"Madhubala...Madhubala" He tried stopping her but she didn't listen
"MADHU" He raised her voice and grabbed her arm to stop her
"What happened?" He asked her as he couldn't understand why is she behaving like this
"Just leave me...I want to go home" Madhu said trying to get away but his grip was too tight
"What...but why so suddenly?"
"Because I want to...now leave my hand" She fidgeted
"Madhu...I thought may be can share..." RK was saying when she interrupted
"Share what...huh???...what do you think by all this you can come closer to me and you will get what you want??...Listen Mr. Rishabh Kundra just stay away from me...get it?
RK was stunned by listening such harh words from Madhu. He was having a general talk with her but he didn't knew all this will turn out to be a big mess. Finally He released her from his grip.
"Listen Madhubala I genuinely don't care what you think about me and yeah you are right...no one can have a normal coversation with you, let alone love you...now you and your tears can go to hell" RK gave an equally rude reply to her.
And she left from there crying.
************
She was walking down the street on her way back home while RK's words were echoing in her head. Suddenly she came out of her trance when heard sounds of footsteps and giggles. She started walking faster and cursed herself for leaving from the club so quickly.
"What's the hurry baby?" A man said and held her hand.
"Who are you?" Madhu stammered
"Does it make any difference??" Another voice came from her behind and she saw two more men coming to her.
She was hell scared and couldn't understand what's going on with her. She tried to gett of his hold but he was much stronger. She was about to shout when another one covered her mouth.
"Walk with us quietly or else" He showed her the knife. They made her walk when they felt beam of light blinking. The one with the knife turned around and saw a car parked behind them.
"Who's that?" He shouted
A man came out of his car and walked in front and leaned back on the hood crossing his hands against his chest. It was RK. Madhu felt a relief seeing him.
"Who are you?"
"Leave her" He said
"Why?" He walked towards him
"I said leave her"
"Look it's better that you leave from hear or else" He showed the knife to him too
He looked at the knife and made himself clear once again "LEAVE HER"
The man couldn't take it anymore and raised his hand but RK grabbed his hand and twisted it to the other side making this knife fall down on the road. He pushed him hard and he fell on the road. The other one came and was about to punch on his face When RK shouted
"Oye...Pagal hai kya...My face will get spoiled..kahin aur maar le"
"Hain?" The man got confused
Then Rk realised what he said and punched back on his face.
"Aaa" The goon shouted
"Kya hua zyada lag gayi kya?"
"Ha" He cried
"Very good...now have some more" RK gave few more punches till he had no option but to run away from there.
He saw the man who was standing there holding Madhu's hand.
"Should I devise another language for you?" RK asked the man
On the other hand Madhu released herself by bitting his hand and ran towards RK. RK was angry with her but first he wanted to get rid of those goons. He walked towards him while the goon feard him. He took few steps back and ran from there as quickly as possible. RK did not follow him as at that time his priority was Madhu. He turned around and looked at Madhu...Who was standing there with eyes wide open. She for a moment remembered how Abhay saved her from the goons the same way. It was like that moment was recreated for her but after few seconds her eyes fell on a man who was standing right behind RK holding a rod.
"ABHAYYY" she shouted which made RK confused and before he could turn around the man banged his head.
