Impassioned
Part-5
Its been 5 hours of the timeline that doctor estimated & rk kept sitting in the same position agonised. Its like life has been drawn out of him. His face covered with his palm, his heart beating with only name that has unknowingly became life source for him 'Madhu'. He curse the moment when he shoved his arms to push madhu away making her land in death bed.
"U dont need to care for me Go Away !" he recalls his piercing words which he said to madhu.
"Noo.. What if she really go away ?" Rk mumbled jerking his head up. A sudden restlessness engulf him & he rush inside the ICU where various machines is attached to madhu to monitor her. Rk slowed down his steps as he entered the room. Madhu's limp body is lying there on hospital bed with oxygen mask on her face. As he took steps towards her all memories of madhu hit him, her tailing behind him, nagging him, cracking silly jokes, questioning him, and that sweet smile which never leaves her lips.
"madhu.." Rk whispered softly sitting beside her on bed while stroking her cheeks with feather touch.
"stop ur trick plz.. Wake up.. U won.. Punish me.. But plz dont go away.. Plz" he mumbled absent mindedly, his eyes fix on her face.
"Dont leave me.. Like my mom-dad.. Dont go away.. Plz.." He pleaded. He feels his eyes becoming moist as his heart gripped with fear. He always play with death but now he is fearing death. He feels suffocated & hastily rushed out of the room. He straight away went to backyard & fell on his knees screaming out for madhu. All the emotions suppressed in his heart erupted.
"I cant lose u.. I cant.. U have became everything to me.. I NEED YOU !" He accepted the fact which he was denying all these days & this is the difference.. Sultan WANTS madhu but rk NEEDS madhu !!
Sultan wants to make madhu a beautiful part in his life But for Rk, madhu is his life.
---~---
"Her condition didnt deteriorate as we speculated.. She is stable" doctor said while Checking madhu with a nurse beside him. Madhu looks at doctor with heavy eye lids. She gained consciousness few minutes ago. She opens her mouth to speak when doctor stops her.
"no.. Dont speak. A glass pierce ur neck inches away from ur throat. So dont speak til it get healed" doctor said & madhu looks around with scared eyes to see that one known face.
"Nurse, where is that man who brought her here ?" Doctor asked while forming report of madhu.
"sir.. He was outside ICU but i havent seen him from past few hours"
"Okk.. Informed him about patient condition when u see him. And here, i have prescribed new medicines" doctor forwards the report to nurse & right then the room's door opened & a wretch Rk stepped in fully dishelved.
"oh.. U came " doctor said.
"i.. I was.." Rk was trying to come up with words when his eyes fell on madhu. As madhu saw him a happy shine cross her eyes. Rk gawk at her trying to believe that she is really looking at him.
"She is better now" doctor informed "she is not allowed to speak for few days. Though nothing to worry, just proper care is to be taken cause her BP & sugar is low & she loss good amount of blood too." Doctor leaves & rk register his each words with his eyes fix on madhu.
"Sir,get these medicines from counter" nurse give him a chit of paper & leaves. Rk took baby steps towards madhu in daze.
"Madhu.." He whispered, his eyes soft. In response madhu sweetly smiled at him. Her face is pale but still the smile illuminate her face. He couldnt hold himself anymore & hugged her firmly leaning on her, burying his face in the crook of her neck. Madhu momentarily became amazed but soon feels good as this is the most needed warmth that she required after such an incident.
"Am sorry.. I did a hideous mistake" madhu hears Rk speak in muffled voice. She wanted to say but couldnt cause of the pain in her throat.
"I had almost lost u.. Its my fault. I pushed u" rk raise his head up & cups her face. His eyes Filled with emotions "Am a pathetic man. I failed to take care of u"
Madhu shook her head in negative hearing him. Why is he blaming himself. Its just an unfortunate incident, none of them is at fault.
"U must be hating me madhu, i know.. I deserves ur hatred" he spoke painfully.
"R..Rk" madhu spoke with difficulty, her voice hoarse. She cant see him blaming himself.
"no..madhu..plz dont speak.. Dont strain urself" he shush her by keeping his index finger on her lips "U can shout at me, hit me, punch me, punish me once u get well.. Am so careless, why am i speaking all these now.. U should rest.. I am disturbing u" he again blabber & stands up from the bed to go, when madhu holds his hands. Rk stops & looks back at her.
"U want me to be here ?" He questions expectantly. Madhu nods her head & flash a smile. He remember this smile, when she got drowned in pool & he saved her, then too she is all cool about it.
"how can u be like this ? U should be angry with me. I am responsible for ur state" he said softly stroking her cheeks. Madhu again shook her head in negative & rk gives her a faint smile relieved that madhu is not angry with him.
"Sir medicines.. I told u to get it from counter" nurse barged in breaking their moment.
"Yes..am going" rk answered & unhold his hand from madhu's hold carefully not to hurt her injected hand.
"Am outside okk" he whispered to her,assured her of his presence.
---~---
"Sultan..i.." Rk begins to speak as soon as he reach waiting hall but stops hearing sultan's roar.
"Rk.. U bloody **** , how dare u to keep ur cell switched off from past 10 hours.. My madhu is in death bed & u.."
"SULTAN.. madhu is alright now" Rk interrupt him in a loud voice & silence prevails in both ends.
"What ?" Sultan asked after few minutes.
"Yes..sultan..madhu made through it, she is stable. She will be fine" rk spoke with immense happiness in his voice.
"U are saying truth ?"
"Sultan, i swear"
"ThankGod, my madhu is safe" sultan breathed out. The smile on Rk's face disappeared hearing 'My Madhu' from sultan.
"By god's grace she is safe but this fact cant be forgotten that all this happened because of u.U are one careless man. U dont worth taking anyone's responsibility" sultan spoke harshly again building up the guilt in Rk's heart.
"I warned u not to show ur strength in front of her bit still u did & get her in hospital bed. The pain she is going through is because of u only. I wont ever forgive u & neither will madhu," rk silently listened to sultan's crap thinking it yo be true.
"But madhu has forgiven me" rk thought to himself.
"Listen Rk" sultan said & rk get his attention back to sultan "I cant risk to keep madhu with u anymore. Am coming back soon" rk feels a sudden void engulfing him just by hearing the news of sultan's coming back. He would come & take madhu away from him but isnot madhu already sultan's ?? He is just here to take care of her.
"For that very time being, can i trust u with madhu ?" Sultan asked sternly.
"Yes" rk promptly replied.
"Maintain distance from her. I dont want her to be hurt in any way cause of u" sultan cuts the call.
"I'll make use these few days to give madhu everything she wanted. I'll take proper care of her. I wont hurt her in anyways" rk thought determined.
---~---
Madhu opened her eyes with the warmth of sunlight on her skin. She scrunch her brows & looks at the sofa which is empty. She was climbing down the bed when she notice a paper note on the bed.
"Morning! Went to purchase ur medicines.. Will be back soon. Till then freshen up"
She smiled reading it. Its been a week she got discharged from hospital & they were living in a hired beach house. Rk couldnot took madhu far off in such fragile state, so, he somehow convinced an old couple to let them live in it for few days on hire basis. From that day she is seeing a whole new Rk. He has became much gentle, calm, composed, Full of life. Its like he stopped fighting with himself. And no doubt she like this new Rk very much. She carefully walked towards a small cupboard & pulled out a pair of clothes for herself. While she was closing the door, a wallet fell on floor from cupboard. She kneeled & pick it up.
"Its Rk's" she thought. A thought clicked her mind & she opens it. Cash..card..papers..photo..! She draws out a small pic of lil boy sitting on a lady's lap holding the finger of a man standing next to him. The boy's face resembles Rk. She turns the pic & read 'Rishab Kundra' written on it.
"Rk stands for Rishab kundra then why he told me that rk stands for right kamina ? Lier !" Madhu thought & keep everything as it is & head to bathroom.
Madhu was combing her hairs after freshen up when she hears the door cluck open & rk enters holding plastic bags. As his eyes met hers his lips instantly curved up into a smile.
"Guess what for today's breakfast ?" He asked will zeal. Madhu made a face hearing him. He always made her those boring tasteless patient type breakfast.
"Aloo paratha" he chuckled softly seeing her expression.
"Really ?" Madhu squeaked.
"shh.." He quickly shush her "doctor told u right.. Not to talk loudly"
Madhu's wounds has almost healed but still rk dont let her talk much being over protective. Madhu rolled her eyes slumping back on bed. Rk set the breakfast & forward it to madhu. Madhu silently starts eating it & rk silently stares at her.
Madhu has became dull. Most of the time she keep sleeping cause of medicine effect & other times she dont have much energy left in her to do activities. She has became weak & pale. This is the thing that concerns Rk but doctor said she'll be fine, just need some time to be fully cured.
"U wont eat ?" Rk jerk from this thoughts as he hears madhu's soft voice.
"After u" he smiled at her.
"Why ?" Madhu frowns "Its not like am husband & u are my wife who can only eat after the husband fill up with Food as it shown in daily soaps."
"U'll make one cute husband, i bet" rk winked at her playfully.
"Whats wrong with u ?" Madhu asked finally.
"what ?"
"U have became too sweet. U dont revert me back. No.. I like u in this way too but i am missing ur earlier self" madhu complaints. Rk falls silent hearing her, he still blames himself for madhu's state & to added more to that sultan keeps making Rk guilty with his harsh words. Madhu got his expression & moves close to him removing the food plate.
"Rk..for unkempt time i told u its not ur fault. Why are u so keen to took every blame & guilt on ur shoulders"
"Truth cant be changed madhu" he said not meeting her eyes "for my mistake i was on verge of loosing u forever"
Madhu looks at him skeptically trying to understand the intensity of his words. Rk realise what he said & quickly correct himself.
"I.. I mean loosing my job. I was told to take care of u"
"That sultan,ur boss.. He is too bossy naa.. I have always notice whenever he calls u become more sad. Do he have some problem ? Make me talk to him, i'll solve his problem then he wont make u sad" madhu proposed. Rk stares at the innocent soul sitting in front of him ready to fight FOR HIM !
"Forget sultan & for now take these medicines & we are going out" he changed the topic.
"where ?"
"to beach"
"But what will i do there ? Am too weak to more around"
"Just accompany me, like i accompanied u last time & ur personal life man is here to carry u right !" Rk said making madhu giggle.
---~---
"So many shells" madhu was counting the shells collected by rk from shore & rk was building a sand castle for madhu, fully attentive to her talks. He is trying to do everything he could do for her.
"ur castle is much prettier than mine" madhu said admiring his works sitting beside him on sand.
"Cause its for u" he said looking at her in her eyes. Madhu notice a strange intensity in his eyes. Not knowing how to react she Just smiled. Moving to other side she moves her finger in sand writing her name on sand.
"HELP ! PLZ HELP !" Both rk & madhu turns their head towards the sea hearing a shrilling cry.
"Rk" madhu grips Rk's hand cause of the chaos.
"Madhu..relax" rk puts his arms around her should comforting her.
"help! Save my son.. Someone plz" a woman cried hysterically. Rk saw a lil boy drowning in water & a mother crying for him. Something stir in his heart & he runs to save the boy.
"Rk" madhu cried as she found him missing by her side. She look ahead to see rk drive into the water. Everyone holds their breath waiting for rk to come out with the boy. As few minutes passed restlessness engulf madhu & she took slow steps towards the shores pushing the crowd aside.
"I think the young man too drowned with the boy. Both are dead" a man beside her chatter with other man.
"What Rubbish is that !" Madhu snapped at him "Instead of helping how can u say such mean things" she shuddered with the thought.
"Rk" she cried for him stepping in water when a woman pulled her.
"what are u doing ? There is high tides. Dont go ahead" the woman warned.
"but.." Madhu begins to speak when the people started shouting. She turns around to see Rk coming out of water with a lil boy in his arms. Relief wash through madhu as she runs to him.
"He needs medical attention" rk handover the boy in the lady's arms who happened to be his mother.
"Sir.. Thankyou very much. U are god for my son" the lady cried.
"plz..dont.." Rk felt embarrassed & right then madhu launch herself on him hugging him tightly.
"Rishab" she uttered & rk became still hearing her. He is hearing his name after years. His parents used to call him by his name & as he entered this criminal world Rishab got lost, Rishab changed into Rk.
"What u said ?" He pulled her to facing her breaking the hug.
"that man was speaking rubbish about u" madhu said.
"No that.. What u call me ?" Rk asked hastily. 😊
"oh..Rishab.. Rk stands for Rishab kundra, why u told me its right kamina then ?" Madhu asked him back.
"How u know this ?"
"i..umm..checked ur wallet..no, i swear, i didnt took ur money, i was just seeing how much cash u have for the India tour.. I.." Rk cuts off madhu by pulling her back in his embrace. He is feeling light, he feels good.
"But why u risk ur life all time ?" Madhu whined breaking the hug.
Look at that" rk points at the mother of the lil boy who is holding him securely in her arms.
"Isnt my risk worth it ? Isnt it worth the happiness a mother has in her face ?" Rk smiled remembering his past relation with his parents.
"Yes" madhu feels proud of him & entangled her arms with his standing side by side
---~---
*After few days*
"pLz pizza" madhu said adamantly.
"But u'll have to eat the dinner" rk warned her.
"Okk.. Order it plZ" on madhu's insistence rk pick up the phone to order pizza. Rk & madhu moved to delhi as soon as madhu's health improved & has been staying in an apartment which sultan owns. In all these days rk let himself free & they became much more comfortable with each other unknowingly developing a strong bond. Madhu is back to herself as she recovered & with her happy go lucky nature she drove away the guilt feeling of Rk too.
"Rk lets play truth & dare" she exclaimed spinning a bottle on glass table.
"why ? Ur serials are on strike ?' Rk asked teasingly sitting on couch as madhu sits on floor.
"no..dumbo..today is weekend. No telecast today" madhu hits her own forehead animatedly with palm.
"Lets start" she spins the bottle & it points at rk.
"So truth or dare ?"
"truth" rk replied.
"Coward..u are scared of taking dare" madhu snorted.
"We will see that" rk smirked
"Okk.. Million dollar question.. Who is more smarter ? Men or women ?" Madhu asked.
"No doubt..men" rk replied confidently.
Male chauvinistic pig !" Madhu muttered under her breath.
"U can ask me how ?" Rk probes.
"how ?" She ask sarcastically.
"We always says intelliGENT (intelligent) not intelliLADIES..hence proved we gents are more smarter" rk winked at her as she gape at him.
"That's so stupid.. Infact PJ.. Poor joke" madhu pick up a pillow & throws it at rk which he caught in time laughingly. Madhu again spins the bottle & it points at her.
"So daring lady..truth or dare" rk asked challengingly.
"Dare ofcourse" madhu replied boastfully.
"hmm..daring enough to put on a sizzling dance show ?" Rk raise his eye brow.
"dont challenge me" madhu said as she plays a sensual track on rk's cell phone. Rk looks on as she runs to his room & came out wearing one of his shirt teamed up with her shorts. Rk's eyes stuck to her as she moves around him swaying her body.
"Kaali raaton me, crazy aankho ne chua
Kuch tej aasar meri saanso ko hua"
He has seen her in his shirt before too but now his feeling for her changed his way of looking & intension towards her.
"Aaj dikha de mujhe Love kar ke,
Oh baby baahon me bhar ke"
Madhu moves sensually around him trailing his arms with her finger tip.
"Jo v socha sapno me,
wo aaj dikha de mujhe sab kar ke"
she shows some really sexy moves capturing his attention & rk just couldnot take his eyes off her. He was looking at her like the way a lover looks at his beloved drowned in passion.
DING DONG !
RK's daze break when he heard the door bell. He shoved his thoughts away & switch off the song playing in his cell.
"Pizza came" madhu squealed & ran to open the door. Rk looks at her retreating figure & just then something clicked in him & he too rushed to get madhu. As madhu was going to open the door Rk shut it close & stands in front of door blocking it,breathing heavily.
"what ?" Madhu gave him a confused look.
"U go & change. I'll take the delivery" rk spoke. Yeah ! How can he let other men see this sizzling madhu.
"Why?"
"umm..cause last time in dabba u said The same. U dont like coming in front of people in my clothes.. So go!" Rk drag madhu back to room holding her wrist not giving her chance to speak. Rk pushed madhu in room & sighed. He strolled back to door & paid the money receiving the pizza.
"hey its small size pizza !" Madhu frowned as they get back to hall & sits on floor casually beside glass table.
"so what did u expected ? Big pan pizza ?" Rk said & madhu sighed.
"u still didnt get over ur nursing mode naa.. I am all good see" madhu indicate to his over protective nature.
"Doctor advice u to eat healthy for few months" rk said finishing off his part of pizza.
"so,lets continue" madhu finish off her pizza & spin the bottle again.
"Truth again" rk said as again the bottle points at him.
""hmm..have u ever fallen in love ?" Madhu asked. Rk raise his eyes to met hers. His love is sitting right in front of him but he cant say that aloud.
""yes" he uttered looking away from madhu.
"Oh" madhu didnt comment further & rk spins the bottle.
"Truth" madhu said as bottle points at her.
"U had been in love relationships ?" Rk asked changing his question. He very well knows that madhu too has developed feeling for him but she herself dont acknowledge it.
"yeah but he is impotent" madhu replied carelessly & rk flash his eyes at her.
"I mean he was cheating on my back & he said i am dumb & i dont know to kiss even" madhu talked about sikky.
"oh..toh u dont know to kiss" rk concluded trying to suppress his laughter as madhu told him her & sikky's story.
"ofcouse i know !" Mafhu flushed
"yeah.. ?.when was ur last kiss ? In KGs ?" Rk starts laughing.
"No..after KGs" madhu flushed.
"In collage then ?" Rk said smirking, knowing well that she is lying.
"No..before that" madhu tries to come up with something.
"In school ?" Rk asked enjoying her state.
"Noo..but i know to kiss okk" madhu said annoyed but rk continues to chuckle softly.
"stop laughing..i can prove u" madhu said finally drawing Herself closer to rk. Rk sits there leaning against couch in his style knowing what is going to come up next moment. Madhu took a deep breath & sits in front of him, close to him. Rk looks at unabashedly while madhu has difficulty in deciding what to do. She softly looks at him & her eyes travelling down stopping at his lips. She moves her face closer to his slowly. Rk closes his eyes anticipatingly as he feels her warm breath on his face.
After a moment he felt her soft lips touching his but in fraction of seconds the feeling got disappeared. He opens his eyes disappointed to see madhu sitting in front of him enthuistically.
"see..i did it" she said making him more disappoint. She just chastely peck him brushing her lips over his.
"u called this a kiss ?" Rk asked looking at her.
"Yeah" madhu nodded her head clearly getting the sarcasm in his voice. Rk shook his head in negative.
"then ?" Madhu asked perplexed
"This is called a kiss" he said as he pulled madhu in his lap by gripping her waist. Madhu looks at him as he snake his one hand around her waist & with another he strokes her cheeks. This time there is no awkwardness between them. His eyes shown with passion as he tucks her hair strand behind her ears & grips a handful of her hairs firmly tilting her face, he positioned her & firmly pressed his lips against her sucking on her soft lips. Madhu clutch his shoulder as she feels his lips moving against hers. Rk coaxed her lips to open up as he started nibbling on her lips caressing it with tongue. Madhu didnt reciprocate but just let him take the lead. Rk bites on her lower lips urging her to open up. She gave him entrance as he smoulder her juicy lips twisting his tongue with her exploring her sweet spot. Feeling ecstasy madhu moaned softly & that tempts rk to kiss her senselessly & he did the same as he deepened the kiss devouring her making madhu melt in his arms.
After a good time rk parted away his lips from her. Both breathing Heavily. Rk looks at madhu's face. She is exactly looking like she has been kissed with her moist rosy lips slightly parted.
"this is called Proper Kiss" rk whispered huskily in her ears & redness crept up her cheeks.
