~* AN INNOCENT CONFESSION *~
Though she was pushed into this relationship but she found her way of happiness and solace- with her Raju. She didn't try to know why her destiny played with her such brutal games; why her fate always gave her reasons to cry before giving a little happiness- she was happy, in fact she had finally decided to be happy with the new relation she had been tied into. The truth of her identity of been the daughter of once a Superstar, late Mr and Mrs Rishabh Kundra and her marriage with a person who was a replica of her own father were the two biggest shocks of her life. But she decided to overcome these bitter facts of her existence and to live happily with her husband, her Raju and to protect that poor soul and herself from the claws of Abhay Kapoor. Life has changed after Madhu accepted her marriage and Raj. Though she had to fight against the evil tortures of Abhay everyday but her own decision has given her a new strength. To her ease, Raj has become quite addicted to her- he never left her alone, even for a second. He always needed her to be around him, be with him, play with him, laugh with him; in short, Raju needed his Gudiya in every moment of his life. And for Madhu, he has become her life. Her affection was growing beyond bounds every day for him. Abhay too became more irritated and biased against Raj as his plan to torture Madhubala finally went down the drain as his once a pawn, Raju had now become the prince of his only enemy of life- Madhubala. Now, both Madhu and Raj had become a small army against Abhay.
One day, Raju was silently sitting on the couch near the window, looking at the birds afar flying in the sky. Madhu came and saw him sitting sadly. "Raju! What are you doing here? Why are you so sad... hunn?" Raj looked up at her with pouting lips but again got back to his position without replying back. "Awww! What happened Raju? Do you need anything?" Hearing this, he started nodding his head stubbornly. "What? Chocolate?" "Uhunnn... Outing!" He blurted out. "Hmmm... Which place then? Fantasy land?" "Hunn... Fantasy land... It's so boring! And we have already gone there Gudiya!" He pouted. "Today, I want to go for a movie... Mast Action Movie!!" He clapped happily. "Action movie? No!" Madhu twitched her nose in disagreement. "We will watch a romantic movie." "NO! I want to watch action movie... Action movie... Action movie!!" He shouted cussedly. "OK! OK! Action movie... We will go for it! C'mon then, go and get ready!!" Hearing it, Raju immediately jumped off the couch and hugged Madhu excitedly. "Yaaayyy!! We will go for movie... We will go for movie!! I... I will wear my favourite shirt today- the orange one!! OK Gudiya!" Madhu also became happy to see her Raju so excited for their outing- after all he has become her only goal to live for. "NO! You will wear my favourite shirt today- the red one with black trousers... My hero!!" And she kissed his cheeks lovingly. He nodded happily and went for change. After few minutes, both went downstairs for the movie. "Wait both of you!" Both of them stopped in midway. "Don't you know, nobody can do anything without my permission!!? And when it comes to you, rules are more strict!" smirked Abhay. Madhu turned back furiously and replied straight in his eyes, "But when the rules start to suffocate your life, it's better to break them... No matter what may come!!" "It's not that easy Madhubala!! It's my castle! And you both... are my slaves!!" "NO! No Mr Kapoor! Not for our whole lives!!" "Gudiya! Let's go no! We will be late else!" Raj interrupted. "Where are you both going?" Abhay asked furiously. "We... We are going for movie... movie!!" Raj replied happily. "Movie? You won't go anywhere!!" Abhay shouted outrageously. "Just pick up any CD and watch it at home... No Outing! Nothing!" Raju pouted in disappointment. Madhu noticed him and her blood boiled, "We will definitely go! You can't stop us, Mr Kapoor! Oh! I guess, you are worried for the bills no!! Don't worry about that, I have my money with me! I'll pay our bills!! Your money will be saved!!" Abhay glared at her in rage. Once again, she managed to disobey him on his face. Madhu turned back to Raj who was jumping in joy on hearing his Gudiya's decision. "Let's go Raju! We'll get late!" And both walked out hand in hand, leaving behind enraged Abhay.
At the cinema hall, there were two action movies released for display- one of Abhay Kapoor and another of Akshay Singhania. Madhu asked, "Hmmm... So which movie we'll see?" "That one- Faulaad of Akshay!! I won't watch Abhay Kapoor's movie!! He is not a Hero... He is a villain... Bad villain!! I won't watch him! I won't watch him!" Raj replied fumingly. Though he had a kid's mind but he understood everything. The man who was once a Superhero for him, has now become a villain... a very bad villain. Raj was staring at Abhay's poster furiously and Madhu noticed it too. "OK! OK! Now stop getting angry and let's go!" Madhu collected the tickets and some popcorns and snacks for the next two and a half hours. After few minutes, lights offed and movie finally started. The moment the first frame rolled, Raj clapped in the silent hall and whistled. Madhu looked at him shocked. She had never saw him whistling. Other people stared at them so she controlled him in embarrasement, "Raju! Behave yourself!" "NO! Gudiya, look at him! He is so nice hero! I like him!!" He shouted and clapped again. "Sshhh... Keep quiet Raju! Everybody is looking at us!" Madhu furiously whispered. "But Gudiya..." "Sshhh... No words now! Put your finger on your lips! Right now!!" Raj followed her instructions innocently. "Hmmm... Now sit like a good boy and watch it!" Raj looked at the screen silently. Madhu was watching his innocent expressions. She giggled at his innocence but Raj didn't notice it. Interval came. Both were having their snacks and popcorns. Madhu was too much bored with the movie as she didn't like action stuff but for Raj's sake, she was watching every scene carefully as she knew, after the movie Raj was going to ask her lots of questions till he sleeps at night. Raj was so excited. He was continuously talking about the film and its scenes- its action sequences; its fights and Madhu was silently though happily listening to him. She was actually happy to see her Raju so happy. She was ready to bear everything for his happiness; this was just a movie!! Movie again started, Raj was so curiously looking at the action sequence going on giving the background sound, "Dhishooom... O Dhishooom!" from his mouth in between. Madhu was giggling at his antic. Then came the final romantic climax. The hero was standing at the 10th floor building's terrace with the heroine. The Raj, who was continuously blabbering throughout the movie, suddenly got silent. Madhu also noticed it. On the screen, the hero climbed up on the railing and finally shouted, "I LOVE YOU, Aanya!!" and both hugged. Finally, movie ended. Everybody there in the hall was appreciating the movie but one person was silent- Raj. "Movie was very good no, Raju?" Madhu asked. Raj simply nodded affirmatively in reply but didn't speak anything. He was lost in his own world. Madhu thought to go back home seeing him so quiet and serious.
At the Mansion, Raj silently came to their room and sat on the bed, still lost in his thoughts. Madhu tried to talk but he didn't replied as expected. "Raju! You go and change! I'll go and bring your milk! OK!" Now, Madhu was also worried with his weird behaviour. After a while, she returned back with a glass full of Bournvita milk but got surprised. Raj was not in the room. She put the glass on the bedside and rushed to the bathroom to check on him. She knocked at the door, "Raju! Raju! Come out!" But to her surprise, the door opened ajar. Madhu got more worried. She looked all around the room, behind the curtains but he was seen nowhere. "Where has he gone?" Her heart started beating fast. Suddenly, she heard a thumping sound from the terrace area. Madhu almost ran to see there. And there he was... jumping near the terrace railing repeatedly. "Raju!" And she turned back him, "What... What are you doing here? Idiot... I was so worried for you!!" She checked all over his body if he was hurt. "Gudiya... you are here! OK! Now, let me do it!!" "Do it? What?" "One minute!" And he turned back and climbed up on the railing. Madhu was shocked to see that and shouted, "Raju! Stop it! You'll fall down Raju! Come down, please!! Raju!" She tried to pull him down with his hand but he snatched it away. Madhu was continuously calling him out but suddenly stopped stunned to hear his shout, "I LOVE YOU GUDIYA!!!" For the moment, everything stopped for her- the breeze stopped blowing; the stars stopped twinkling; the world stood still for her at that moment. It was something she had never ever dreamt of since she met Raju. A silent, astonished tear fell down through her eye behind her spectacles. She was simply gazing at him hypnotically. Raj again repeated excitedly, "I LOVE YOU GUDIYA!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!" And he jumped down and stood happily in front of his Gudiya. "I Love you Gudiya!! Do you also love me?" His innocent words were not striking on her ears. She was just gazing at him with a surprised teary smile on her face. She had decided to live her entire life with her Raju, for her Raju but she had never ever dreamt of getting anything in return from him. She knew, she had started loving him madly but she didn't expected something like this from him. "Tell me no Gudiya?? You also love me naa...!!" His words broke her hypnotic trance and she came back to reality- it was not her dream; her Raju has confessed his love for her today in real!! She suddenly burst out in a huge smile and all the brimming tears finally fell down. She lovingly caressed his face and slightly nodded, "I... I... I LOVE YOU TOO, Raju!!" The moment he heard it, Raj quickly hugged her tightly. "Yaaayyy... My Gudiya loves me!! My Gudiya love me!!" The moment she felt his touch, she couldn't controlled herself and that very instant. She decided to drown herself in his embrace forever... till her last breath!! She hugged him back. Both held each other as tightly as they could... with an unknown promise... to be with each other till eternity!! Though for Raju, it was a sinless childish admission but for Madhu, that very innocent confession, finally became the destination of her destiny...!!
