It was night time and Kundra Haveli was filled with silence. Everyone was asleep by this time so it was an appropriate time to do activities that were forbidden. Dressed in a black lehenga choli, Madhu was walking fast through the dimly lit corridor, glancing behind every now and then making sure nobody was awake to catch her. The sound of her payal was capable of inviting trouble. When she reached her destination, she stopped and knocked on the door in front of her. As soon as the door opened, Madhu rushed inside and shut the door locking it from inside. She turned around and found herself very close to her beloved, Rishabh. She smiled at him with relief but he stared back at her with anger. He grasped her shoulders and pulled her even more close making her hit his chest.
"Madhu," he said slowly. "Why did you take so long to come? I have been waiting since ages."
"Rishabh Kundra, I think you have forgotten I cannot come and go as I please," she said rather hotly freeing herself from his hold. "I am not your wife. I'm a mere servant."
"No need to keep reminding me about this. My memory is not that weak," he snapped. "You should have remembered that you're a mere servant before falling in love with me."
"Excuse me?" Madhu asked in disbelief. "It was not in my control otherwise I would have never loved an idiot like you!"
"Idiot? How dare you call me an idiot? I am your ... your...-"
"Your my what? Don't act like a husband Rishabh. Save all this for you fiancee."
"Don't talk about her! She's become a real pain," he said angrily.
"How can you say about your soon to be wife?" Madhu asked with fake shock.
"Just go away, I don't want to talk to you," Rishabh said turning his back on her. Madhu surpressed a giggle. She couldn't help it she just loved fighting with him. They had grown up fighting so it was hard to overcome the habit.
"OK now don't spoil your mood," she said hugging him from back. "I promise all our worries will be over soon because you know what? I love you and I can do anything for you. Anything."
He turned around and saw determination in Madhu's eyes.
"I love you too," he said and lifted her in his arms while locking his eyes with hers. She smiled at him, which he returned this time. He started walking slowly towards his bed. Carefully, he lowered her and placed her on the bed. He sat down and caressed her face with his right hand. Madhu closed her eyes feeling his warm touch. He had touched her countless times but everytime it felt new and more pleasurable. Rishabh started moving closer to her. His lips were an inch away from hers when-
"AAARGHHH!"
Rishabh and Madhu jumped hearing the scream of a woman.
