PART 23
I reached office early as it was the commencement of International Summit of Chief Justices of the World. Aaron followed me into the office and after gathering the necessary documents, we moved into our van and started off. Our radar rotated above us, and like always it felt as if we were in the spotlight. Nothing stopped traffic like a media van. I peered through the windows and saw the people glaring at us for a while.

We reached the venue early and after all the security checks, we seated on our designated positions. I checked my phone. There had been no reply from RK since morning. The last we exchanged messages was last night when he told me he was going for some field works to his industries. In the morning, I sent him a good morning message but there was no reply. So I sighed and looked into my papers. Aaron was shivering in nervousness while Ri joined me minutes later.

"All set?", I asked.

"You bet Madhu. This will be memorable", she grinned. I doubted.

"Don't do anything stupid. Please. For me.", I pleaded.

"I won't do anything that will pull you into the radar. Trust me.", she held my hand.

"Be safe Ri. This could be risky.", I said.

"I know MD. trust me."

"I do Ri. I trust you alot.", I smiled and we separated. Ri was taking care of taping the interviews while I and Aaron would be dedicating our time to formal Q & A sessions. We gathered our papers and moved ahead sitting in a semi-circle. Ri and Adam had vanished by now. I felt left out but I chose not to entertain that thought. Before we commenced, I got a message, "Morning Madhu. All the best for your day."

I smiled as I heard his voice. My day would be so splendid now.

*~*~*~*~*

Back home from the conference, I sat in my room looking at the ceiling. Ri and Adam were out. They were following trails. I wanted to join but my conscience asked me to not disobey RK. My phone buzzed.

"I might return sooner."

I jumped from my position, squeaking. Then, taking a heavy breath I sat back and recorded a message.

"When?"

There was no reply. I waited anxiously. He called me.

"I shall return tomorrow.", he spoke from the other side, without any hellos and his. I frowned speaking, "At what time should I expect?"

"In the evening.", he replied. I realized that he was talking to someone else too. Something related to work.

"At what time will your flight land?", I asked and heard him shout at someone.

"Hmm?", he asked again. I took a huge breath.

"At what time will your flight land?"

"Why?", he asked back.

"I just want to know?", I was taken aback.

"Why the hell is everyone so concerned with my schedules. I can manage things on my own. Why should I tell you everything?", he yelled. I was numb for a moment and then gathering my anger and ego together, I realised what had just happened.

"Excuse me?", I spat.

"I don't need to be answerable to everyone.", he was furious. My mercury shot up.

"What?", I growled.

"Why should I tell you everything about my whereabouts. How is it ensured that you will not use it against me?", he was angry. My anger was rising up.

"I was just freaking asking about the arrival of your flight. You know what...just forget it!", I yelled and pressed the end call button. I saw myself in the mirror, I was red. My cheeks were flushed with anger. "How dare he!", I yelled and threw my phone on the bed and dashed out. Steven was sitting in the living area while Stacy was cleaning the guest room. "Mam!", he stood up seeing me. "Not now Steven!", I growled at him. He maintained his posture as I grabbed my keys. "Where are we going?", he asked politely. "I am going. Not you Steven."

"Mam I cannot leave you. I will lose my job."

"Steven, I won't tell you weren't with me. But I want to go alone.", I said.

"Mam. I beg you.", he said.

"Steven. I want to stay alone. Do you get that?", I almost yelled at him and slammed the door behind me.

The lanes were quiet and empty. It was late night, and it was raining. I pressed the accelerator and dashed the car straight ahead. I didn't stop till I had reached the outskirts of the city on the highway. Seeing a small motel and bar, I turned my car towards it. It was cheap bar and there were not many people in it. I took a big bottle of vodka and returned back to my car. Turning the car around, I started back for the city. One hand of mine held the steering while the other held the vodka bottle from where I drank. It was bitter without any soda but it did release my anger and anxiety. When I reached back home, I was moderately high, though I understood what was happening around me. Steven's car was still in my compound. I frowned and walked up the floor. Steven opened the door for me.

"Are you ok Mam!"

"Yes, I am. Steven, you can come back tomorrow", I completed my ordered and asked him to leave. In my room, I fell back on the bed and realised that I had been behaving like a love sick puppy all this while. He wasn't caring for me. He thinks I am a duty now. That is it. I am a soul that he is responsible for. There was nothing behind his attitude of being protective about me. I wished I hadn't been that stupid and given him time to move on.

I am still a human being. I do have dreams about marriage and husband. I have an image of a perfect marriage in my head and my reactions towards all of this was natural, although it wasn't right in my case. I loved the idea of getting married to a guy I had a crush on. But this wasn't simple. To add to the fact that he didn't feel for me, was the fact that he doesn't even trust me. And as much as I run from the fact, I know what the truth is. I am nothing to him, just a mere responsibility. I was atleast right on living separately, because in reality he didnt want me. It pinched and a tear escaped my eye. "Alcohol!", I frowned as I realised how alcohol affected. More than being clumsy, it made me emotional. So yeah, after crying gallons because of stupid alcohol, I fainted on my sofa and slept on it.

Wonderful update.I think RK yelled at the other person he was talking to. RK is returning too early. Either Madhi or both will get involved in trouble by Ris and Adams investigations about the coded messages. Looking forward for the next chapter. 👏 👏

It was very rude of rk to say that. Maybe he was thinking about his past for some reason. I think he is going to regret it later. The update was great continue soon
