Chapter 18(Madhu's POV)
"So how are things going with RK?" She leaned in and winked at me. Malik was chatting with RK. I looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't be silly Madhu. I can see it in your eyes. You like him." She teased.
"That's not true at all!" I said. My face grew hot.
"Then why are you blushing huh?"
"I'm not blushing."
"Liar. I know you have feelings for him. Revenge story turned love story. Interesting." She said. I smacked her.
My phone buzzed. Anu messaged me.
"Your family is here and I haven't met them yet! Bad Madhu."
Oops...I got up and joined RK and Malik. Trishna helped me walk there.
"Anu wants to meet them RK." I said.
"Oh yeah...Anu. She's my sister." RK told Malik.
"I would love to meet her." He said.
Anu was eating some soup when we reached. I looked at that soup and immediately remembered RK falling on me, with soup falling from the sky. I blushed. RK gave the introduction, while helping me get to the side of the bed.
"Very nice to meet you uncle. You too Trishna." She smiled.
"What happened Anu dear?" Malik asked, concerned.
I didn't hesitate to say it.
"Armaan did this. He ran her over, just because he didn't want me with RK." I said angrily.
"I'm glad he's out of the way. He deserves the worst after what he has done." Trishna said.
Anu awkwardly sipped her soup.
"You don't mind if Madhu stays here a while longer do you uncle?"
"Not at all. But I want my daughter back after her foot heals. I miss her very much. The house seems empty now." He kissed my forehead.
"I miss you too Malik." I hugged him tight. Trishna joined too.
"We should be leaving now. It's getting late."
"I'll drop you off Malik." RK said.
"Thanks beta." He said. They all left. Trishna winked at me as she gave me a hug.
"Think about it Madhu. You do like him." She whispered.
A servant helped me get my crutches and escort me back to my room. I looked at the photo of RK that hung in the living room. I had a clear line of sight of it from the door. My heartbeat increased, yearning to tell me something. Was Trishna right? Did I have feelings for him?
(RK's POV)
I changed into a comfortable purple v-neck and my track pants. I had two injured ladies in my house that would only want me to take care of them. Anu was the worst. My phone was filled with her messages asking for all kinds of random stuff...Rishu do this...Rishu bring that...and then adding a small "please" at the end. I chuckled. That's my sister.
The medication out her to sleep, so I decided to give Madhu company. I couldn't even thank her for saving me yesterday. She was reading a magazine.
"How are you feeling Madhu?" I asked.
"Fine." She smiled and patted the bed. "Come sit."
I sat next to her, watching her wait for me to speak.
"Thanks Madhu for yesterday."
"No need to say thanks. Any sane person would've done the same." She smiled. It was a beautiful smile. A beautiful smile on a beautiful face. I sat down next to her and stared into her eyes. They swirled with an emotion that I couldn't figure out. My hand touched her and gripped it. She blushed, avoiding my gaze. I felt something for her, but did she feel something for me?
"I've never seen you like this RK."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember when we first met? You were full of attitude. And now you are..."
"Sweet, I think is the word you are looking for." I laughed. I have been changing around her. "Do you want the right kameena RK?" I winked at her.
"Maybe just a little..." She giggled.
"That's more like it, my jungli billi." I said, lifting her chin.
It grew quiet...so quiet that I could hear our breathing. We looked into each other's eyes, almost drowning in them. Our breaths grew quick and heartbeats increased pace. Madhu came closer, entwining her fingers with mine. I felt another kiss coming. Would she freak out again? I hope not.
(Madhu's POV)
Was Trishna right? Was I falling for him? My sudden urge to kiss him proved it. But I never expected to experience love once again. Especially someone in the film industry. I couldn't trust anyone. RK waited, but soon shrunk back, understanding that I wasn't ready yet.
RK's phone rang. He looked at it and groaned.
"Yes...Mr. Bakshi?"
(RK's POV)
"Miss Dipali wants to meet you." Amazing...
"Why? Does she miss her clothes line?" Bakshi coughed.
"No sir. She wants to apologize."
"For acting like a sl*t? I'll pass."
"But sir she is already on her way!"
"I want her out of the film. Go and find me another heroine." I barked at him. I hung up.
"Why is she coming her?" Madhu asked, her face showing clear jealousy.
"God knows." I said. "Do you not like her either?"
"Of course not. She disgusts me."
We both laughed. We had something else in common. We hated that Dipali. Bittuji knocked seconds later.
"Yes Bittuji?"
"Chief, Dipali..." He said.
"I'll be back Madhu." She nodded.
Dipali was waiting out in the living room. She was wearing a tight black dress with a very low neck. She was playing with her hair.
"What do you want Dipali?" I said.
"Why RK...don't you know what I want?" She trailed her thin finger down my chest.
"Don't touch me!" I gripped her wrist and twisted it.
"Why? Will it hurt your Madhubala?" She said.
(Madhu's POV)
How dare that bi**h touch him like that? I saw the whole scene while getting a soft pillow from the sofa. I would teach her a lesson. I walked up to her in my crutches and smacked her with them. She fell to the floor like a rock.
"Nobody touches RK like that!" I hissed at her.
RK burst out laughing. He laid a hand on my shoulder.
"No one messes with my jungli billi." He said. I stifled a laugh.
She batted her hair from her face and shot me a glare.
"You will pay for this insult Madhubala." She hissed. I stuck my tongue at her.
She stormed out of the room. I turned to my room, but RK didn't let me. He was looking at me.
"Yes RK?"
"Nothing." He said. He went up to his room.
(RK's POV)
I definitely had feelings for Madhu, when it happened...I don't know. But did she feel the same for me? I couldn't confess until I knew.
