Part 4
"Hey RK I'm your new cook, Sweety."
"RK I'm your personal trainer."
"I'm your new driver."
The girls started to introduce themselves to RK one by one and he just stared at them with disbelief.
"What are you all doing here? Who called you here?" RK asked them.
"I called them," Radha said and RK turned around to find her coming down the stairs. "I have appointed these girls to look after you."
"But why?" RK asked confused and then it struck him why she must have done this. She thought he was interested in Padmini aunty so she must have called these girls to make him fall for young girls instead. He had to explain to her that there was nothing like this. "Mom come here we need to speak."
RK took his mother to a side away from the girls, who all looked excited and happy.
"Mom you are getting it all wrong. There is no need to do all this," RK said firmly.
Radha looked sympathetic and remained quiet. She then turned away from him. RK felt now was the time to just say what was in his heart.
"Mom I love Tri-"
"Mohan ji!" Radha screeched as she saw her husband flirting with the girls and she dashed over to him while RK followed her. "What are you doing here?"
"Er Radha I ... I forgot my phone at home and just came to get it," Mohan said in a shaky voice showing here his mobile.
"You got it now so please go!" Radha said sternly.
"Who are these beautiful I mean who are these girls?" Mohan asked scared by the look Radha gave him at the word 'beautiful'.
"Mohan ji these girls are for Rishu NOT you!" Radha said furiously. "You are getting late for office please go!"
"I'm going," Mohan said. "Rishu you are not even ready yet. When will you come to office?"
"I'll be there in a bit," RK said quickly and Mohan hurried away as Radha glared at him.
Radha watched her husband leave. Mohan was so into girls even at this age and here his son was so different. He was not even looking at the girls, Radha thought upset.
"Mom listen-"
"I don't want to listen to anything," Radha said and she turned to the girls. "Girls you know what you are here for?"
"Yes ma'am," the girls said together.
"Then get started," Radha said and she left the scene.
"Mom," RK called but she did not stop and the girls crowded around him. He frowned at them and headed to his room while they followed him.
RK entered his room and went to take a shower. When he returned wiping his hair with a towel, dressed in his nightwear, he found some girls in his room. Pinky gave him an outfit to wear. He gave her an irritated look and took the clothes from her.
"Will you get out now I need to change," he said rather rudely but she smiled and did not budge and neither did the other girls. RK angrily went to the bathroom to change.
When he returned the girls took him to the dressing table and one began styling his hair. Another kept adjusting his clothes which did not need any adjusting. RK felt they were touching him more than necessary on purpose which was true as Radha had ordered them to do so. When the girls were happy the way he looked they took him downstairs where Sweety was ready with his breakfast at the dining table.
"I can eat myself," RK said when she tried to feed him with her own hands. She stopped and beamed at him. He had his breakfast while watching the girls who stared at him dreamily.
After breakfast, RK sat in the hall as Dolly served him tea while the other girls hovered around him. Then a girl with dark hair and green eyes, draped in a white saree came over with a cloth in her hand. She began dusting around the place sensuously. RK could not help but stare at her. Just then he remembered Trishna and closed his eyes tightly. Radha who watched him close his eyes put her hand on her head upset. Boys would take advantage of such situations and here her son.
His personal trainer came over to to him with the remote in her hand and she turned on the television in front of him where a song was playing. The green eyed girl thew away the cloth and gathered around with the other girls and started to dance.
kudiyon ka nasha pyare nasha sab se nasheela hai
jise dekho yahan woh husn ki baarish me geela hai
ishak ke naam pe karte sabhi ab raas-leela hai
main karoon toh saala character dheela hai
ho.. main karoon toh saala character dheela hai
RK could not help it and began enjoying their dance. A smile appeared on his face as he watched them. Surely a bit of fun would do no harm, he thought. Dolly and Sweety came over to him and pulled him with them to the centre and made him dance with them.
ladko ka nasha pyare nasha sab se nasheela hai
jise dekho yahan woh husn ki baarish me geela hai
ishak ke naam par karte sabhi ab raas leela hai
main karoon toh saala character dheela hai
ho.. main karoon toh saala character dheela hai
Radha then watched RK dancing with the girls and enjoying himself. Her insides danced with happiness. Her son was finally becoming normal. She sensed some movement and turned to find Sikky entering her house. Her smiled vanished once she saw him. She had been wondering all night who that boy could be who was spoiling her son's life. Radha started to doubt Sikky. After all RK was quite close to him. No she would not let anyone disturb her son at the moment. Sikky who smiled seeing his friend with so many girls was about to join him when he felt someone grasp his arm and pull him away. Radha pulled him away from the hall towards the way out.
"Finally my son is getting cured," Radha spoke looking slightly deranged. "I won't let you spoil his life. Just leave him alone!"
"What are you saying aunty?" Sikky asked confused.
"Go away from here. Go!" She pushed a shocked Sikky out of the house and closed the door and bolted it. Radha saw RK taking a girl in his arms. She did not want RK to see her and get uncomfortable so she went away to her room to pray for her son.
RK started to feel yet again that he was cheating on Trishna and decided to leave. He sneakily walked away from the girls and went outside. He reached his car and found a hand on his shoulder. He made a face and turned to find a dusky beauty in front of him.
"Where are you going without your driver?" She asked.
"I was just .. oh no your face!" RK exclaimed with fake shock and the girl was alarmed.
"What happened to my face?" She asked with fear.
"No not your face your makeup. It looks all messed up."
"What?" She asked shocked. "Wait for me here RK. I'll just go and fix it. I'll be back in a minute. Don't go anywhere."
The girl rushed back inside and RK sighed with relief and got inside his car.
Over at Mallik House Trishna was sitting in her room upset while Padmini had taken Madhu to the mall for some last minute shopping. Trishna felt so lonely today. She needed someone to talk to who could understand her. She could not talk to her friends. How could she tell them that her conservative parents did not approve of her film career. She had always boasted that her parents were so liberal and supported her career choice. She heard the doorbell and went to answer.
Trishna opened the door to find RK standing at her doorway. He had decided to come and clear the misunderstanding with Padmini first.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi RK. Come inside," she said as she let him inside. For the first time she was glad to see him. He was just the friend she needed right now.
"Where is aunty?" RK asked as they sat down in the lounge.
"She's gone for shopping with Madhu," Trishna replied.
Her normal tone made RK sure that she did not know anything about his 'epic' proposal. RK was somewhat glad that Padmini was not home because he still did not have the guts to talk to her.
"I want to talk to you about something," RK said.
"Even I want to talk to you about something," Trishna said.
"Go on," RK said with interest.
"You first," she said.
"No you first," RK insisted secretely wishing she proposed him.
"I'm so upset RK I don't know what to do," she complained sadly.
"Why? What's wrong?" He asked caringly.
"Mom saw the pics of my latest photoshoot and she said I can't do modelling now," Trishna told him.
"Oh my mom saw them too," RK said who remembered when a few days back his mother saw the magazine he had kept because of Trishna's pictures. She was not at all happy with her short dresses.
"I want to become an actress but my parents who disapprove my modelling will never allow me to act in films. I don't know what to do RK. I can't forget my dreams. I think I will have to leave home."
"No Trishna you won't do anything of that sort," he said firmly and she looked at him. "Look they're your parents they have given birth to you they have brought you up with so much love. Don't they have right on your life?"
"I know that but ... I don't want to hurt my parents but for them I can't hurt myself either."
"Then try to make them understand. Talk to them about it. Explain to them that it's your biggest dream," he said. "There must be reasons why they don't feel this career is right for you. Promise them that you will never do anything wrong."
"I'll try to talk to them about it," she said.
"Whatever you do never leave home," he said. "And Trishna please steer away from Karan Oberoi."
"Why?"
"You know why Trishna. You know his bad reputation."
"But I need his friendship to enter Bollywood."
"Do you not trust your talent Trishna? Do you really think you need someone?"
"No," Trishna said thinking. He was right. Why should she, Trishna take help from someone? "You are right RK I don't need anyone's help. I am too good myself. That moron Karan is nothing compared to me. He's just famous because of his father or else he's a rubbish actor. I will surely become an actress but without anyone's support."
RK was elated to hear her speak ill of Karan. He was so glad that his words changed her mind. Trishna smiled at him. For the first time it was smile that came from her heart. She felt better after talking to him. RK was a true friend, she thought.
The night of Madhu's wedding had finally arrived. RK was still unsuccessful in clearing the misunderstandings created on her music party. He had decided to speak to Padmini after Madhu's wedding because she was so busy with all the preparations. He felt Padmini aunty was only quiet and waiting till Madhu's wedding was over and then she would probably start her own preparations. His mother had been doing all she could to transform him. RK's friends were complaining about his mother's odd behaviour to him. Everything was so messed up because of his one innocent mistake. On the other hand, Madhu had been unsuccessful in getting hold of RK. She could tell he was avoiding her. She was getting more and more frustrated. Why did he propose her if he was going to avoid her like this. He was such a coward, she thought. He did not have the guts to say his feelings in front of everyone but she was Madhu. She would not silently get married to Mukund.
Madhu was dressed as a bride and waiting in her room. She grabbed her phone and called RK.
"Hello," he said bored on the other end as he knew it was Madhu.
"Where are you RK?" She demanded.
"At home," RK said with surprise. Why did it make a difference to her whether he came or not. She never appeared to consider him as a friend.
"Why are you not here?" Madhu asked annoyed.
"Because I did not feel like coming," he said irritably.
"You're such a coward RK," she taunted.
It was true. He was a coward. He still could not face Padmini aunty.
"Anyway RK let me tell you that I will not marry Mukund," Madhu said with determination.
Where did her marriage come from now, he thought and why was she telling me?
"Have you gone mad Madhu?" He asked with disbelief. "It is your wedding day and you are saying you won't get married."
"You are weak RK you can't do anything but I will," Madhu said. "Just wait and watch what I do."
"Madhu," he said but she had cut the call. "Hello?"
What on earth was she going to do now? Why were there were so many confusions in his life?
Precap-
A sad Padmini turned to Trishna.
"Only you can save our honour now," she said full of emotion.
"What?" Trishna asked with shock.
"You will have to marry Mukund."
Trishna's mouth fell open.
