PART - 22
"Hey, madhu. What are u doing here?" Rk asks her standing near the garden with adi in her arms when all were busy getting ready for the wedding.
"Oh doctor, actually Adi was getting cranky with all the noise & started crying so I thought to bring him out for a while before the wedding starts so that he can get some fresh air." She replies.
"Oh okay. When will u get ready?"
"I will have Adi with me for a while till Dipali bhabhi gets free from getting Trish ready. Then I will give Adi to her & I will get ready for the function."
"hmm...where is my suit?" Rk asks her while playing with Adi's hand.
"I have kept it ready on the bed. Now, go get ready fast" she orders. He nods & plants a kiss on Adi's head & walks in.
"Rk, can I come in?" Dipali asks peeping her head in to Rk's room while Rk was combing his hair.
"Um..come in, bhabhi." he smiles at her politely.
"Rk, I thought to meet u before itself but I didn't get the time as u were busy in wedding preparations so thought to talk to u now. Can u give me 2 minutes?"
"Yeah, sure. Tell me" Rk nods.
"Rk, i'm sorry...sorry for everything. I behaved like a fool. I don't know what made me to say such things to u the other day. now I understood that still sultan loves me & cares for him. I didn't understand is love for me & Adi. He was so working hard to stand on his own to give us a better life but I took everything in a wrong way but glad u opened my eyes. I took ur love, care & affection in a wrong way. I feel ashamed of myself for growing such thoughts. Only because of me u guys moved to delhi leaving ur home. I'm sorry" Dipali genuinely apologizes.
"Bhabhi please...please don't say sorry. I agree we shifted to Delhi to put some distance between us & I also wanted Sultan to realise that his family needs him & he should take care of them & i'm glad he is holding his responsibilities well. But that's not the only reason for us shifting, I really wanted to work in new environment so we moved. But we will come back to our family sooner or later" He said with a smile.
"Thanks Rk" Dipali smiles back & both turns towards the door side where madhu enters with a sleeping Adi in her arms.
"Um..i...i'm sorry to disturb u" Madhu says with little hesitance.
"Hey, its fine. We are done with talking" Rk calls her in.
"Bhabhi, Adi has slept so I thought to put him on bed but since u were not in ur room I thought to keep him with me" Madhu says.
"Thanks madhu. Now u give Adi to me & u go get ready." Dipali tells & takes a sleeping Adi from her hand & then she walks out.
"u didn't ask me why she came?" Rk asks madhu when she walks straight to her wardrobe to take dress.
"I know she came to apologize to u. she even said sorry to me 2 days back & I said there is no need for any apologizes"
"Hmm...even I said the same...okay, tell me how i'm looking" Rk asks her.
"Hot & dashing" She winks & walks into the dressing room leaving behind a grinning Rk.
"Rishab, I ll go check whether Trish is ready or not & u go welcome the guest." Mdhu instructs Rk & they both steps out of their room & walks hand in hand & suddenly madhu stops on her track.
"What?" Rk asks her.
"Wait" she gestures him to keep quite. "Did u hear it?"
"Hear what?" Rk asks. Madhu roles her eyes & pulls Rk close to the window of the room besides their room.
"Daddyji is singing" Madhu grins excitedly & keeps her ear close to the window to hear clearly what he was singing.
"Hey, eavesdropping is wrong" Rk says to madhu.
"C'mon, Doctor, its all fun" Madhu replies & went back to pay her attention on hearing.
"...oh radha teri chunri
oh radha teri chhalla
oh radha teri natkhat najariya
oh radha teri jhumka
oh radha teri thumka
oh peeche peeche saari nagariya"
"Mohan, aab bhi na...bachcho ki tara behave kar rahiho"
"What? I'm just singing my favorite song & admiring my wife getting deck up."
"Mohan, if u want to sing then sing some other song not this one" Radha warns.
"Okay, as madam says" Mohan replies & thinks for what song to sing.
"Music bajega loud to radha nachegi
Music bajega loud to radha nachegi"
Mohan awfully sings the same line again & again.
"Chup!! Chup!! what will others think if they hear u sing at this age?" Radha chides.
"What is the connection between age & singing? Is there any role that above 50's are not allowed to sing? Yesterday in sangeet function u can dance like a young women with ur beti & bahu's but I should not sing in private?" Mohan asks her irately.
"That's because when "Radha on the dance floor!! radha likes to party!! radha likes to move the sexy rather body" Radha replies to him by singing the song. "Even Mohan likes to sing" he replies & both starts laughing unknowing that their romance where secretly heard by two souls from outside the room.
"Hey, control. Lets not embarrass them by letting know that we were hearing them" Rk says to control madhu when she burst laughing continuously.
"Oh my god! Daddyji & mummyji are one adorable couple. They proved that love & romance never dies at any age" Madhu says still giggling like a school girl.
"Try to learn how to be romantic from daddyji, doctor" She suggests.
"Gosh!! u r insatiable, madhu. U want me to be more romantic?"
"See, how daddyji is singing for mummyji but u didn't even compliment me about how I look?" she pouts. He chuckles.
"I only selected this red lenga & jewels for u & while choosing itself I said u will look beautiful then why should I repeat the same"
"okay. We will go" She says & drags him down the stairs.

"My Bhai is so lucky to have Trishna as his life partner." Madhu says happily encircling her hand with Rk's & they throw flowers on Mukund & Trish when they exchange garland.
"Not only ur bhai is lucky but Trishna's bhai is also lucky" Rk winks. She turns & looks up at him confused for a moment not getting what he actually meant & then she blushes after realizations dawns.
"Mukkund is telling something to trishna...is he saying 'I love u' like I said to u while putting sindoor on ur head?" Rk asks madhu while Mukkund ties the mangalsutr around trishna's neck & put a pinch of vermillion on her partition whispering something in her hear.
"D'oh, he is not so like my doctor to say something romantic & promising at this precious moment instead he will be asking 'when will all the rituals will end, i'm so hungry, I want to eat trish'" Madhu mimics what mukkund could have told to trishna.
"See, trishna is his poking him so definitely he would have said the same" Madhu says proudly. Rk chuckles
"ur bhai nah...so he will be like u only...Foodie!!" Rk teases her.
"Hey, why are u crying?" Rk asks concerned seeing tears in madhu's eyes.
"Oh damn! This khushi ki aansoo" she says & wipes her tears & replies "Finally my mama got a daughter to replace my place"
"Hey, my sister is not a shaitan like u"
"Did u said i'm a shaitan?" madhu asks angrily keeping her hands on her hips.
"I didn't say so, u only told me the other day that ur mama called u shaitan & u even asked me whether i'm happy with her shaitan beti? Remember?" he asks her & she silently sheds tears.
"Band karo yeh khushi ki aansoo, madhu...if anyone see u like this then they will think i'm making my pregnant biwi cry" he says & quickly wipes her tears & she swats his hand away.
"Now, its not happy tears, its sad tears, my husband also thinks i'm a shaitan" she puts her head on her palm & sobs.
"Madhu, if u cry like this then u won't look good in photos" He uses the secret weapon to stop her from crying.
"Oh No. Thanks. I will go wipe my face & put some make up & come" she says & was about to turn but he stops her in place & takes his silk kerchief & wipes her tear stained face & her smudged eyes.
"Perfect" he says huskily making her blush.
"Congrats bhai, finally someone has come to set u straight" Madhu says playfully & hugs her bhai & Rk hugs his sister.
Then Mukkund & trishna took blessing from elders & after having their dinner & completing the remaining rituals all dispersed to their respective rooms.
Next day Rk & madhu returned to Delhi though their families insisted them to stay for few more days but Rk excused them saying he couldn't take anymore leaves & also madhu has her check up in two days so she should be there as her reports were kept in Delhi. Finally they all agreed with them & radha & padmini had packed so many varieties of pickles, snacks & few more masala's for madhu's convenience.

(In Delhi)
Rk was sitting on the couch & working on his laptop, sipping his coffee while madku was cooking something for dinner in her kitchen.
"Pabho, u clean the dishes for now & after our dinner I'll do the remaining plates." Madhu says. Pabho nods.
"Doctor, dinner is ready" Madhu informs Rk & sat next to him in the couch.
"You have madhu. I'll will eat later after finishing this work." He replies not taking his eyes from the laptop screen.
"I'll wait...we will eat together" She says & takes the tv remote to watch something to pass her time.
"Then give me 10 minutes, baby"
"Hmm..." she hums & starts flipping the channels as nothing was interesting going on. Suddenly she stops on one channels & starts laughing.
"What?" He asks her confused seeing her sudden laughter.
"That song...daddyji was singing on that day to mummyji..." She replies still laughing. Rk smiles seeing her laugh happily.
"U also sing a song for me" She insists.
"I don't know to sing & right now i'm working so don't disturb me & reduce the tv volume & watch" He says & turns to work & she stares at him pissed.
"Hence proved U R UNROMANTIC" she growls & switches off the TV & takes her phone to check the mails. He looks at her & shakes his head & proceeds with his work without uttering a word.
"Oh wow, Wedding photos have come. Did u checked it, doctor" Madhu asks.
"No"
"Aww...Bhai & trish are looking fab"
"Hmm..." he hums.
"Look at this" she thrusts the phone at him.
"nice" he says glancing it once but she doubts whether he saw the pic or not.
"I thought u came home early to spend some quality time with me but from the moment u entered in u are stuck with this damned laptop" she mutters irately.
"Madhu..." She cuts him off saying "I'm bored..."
"Sorry, but I will come back to u after finishing this presentation"
"Whole day i'm sitting ideal at home. Its too boring" she pouts.
"Don't tell u wanna starts working again" he says shocked
"No, not that" she shakes her head in negation.
"Then?" He asks her confused wondering what she is up to?
"Get me a puppy for company, at least i'll spend my pass time with it"
"What? No pets at our home" He says instantly.
"Why not?" she asks. He turns to her & suddenly catches pabho staring at them from kitchen so he looks at her doubtfully but she quickly turns away then he ignores it thinking overhearing is her usual habit as he had often noticed her staring them & asks madhu "who will handle the dog like bathing, cleaning, feeding & taking for walk & all?"
"I will take care of it. U don't have to worry" Madhu replies.
"First u take care of yourself then think about handling other living creature"
"I don't have anyone to talk"
"As far as I know no dogs will talk with u in ur language. Do u know dogs barking language biwi? U didn't tell me?" he teases her.
"Don't tease me when i'm mad then I will show u that I know dogs bite too" She warns. He chuckles.
"U can watch TV or video chat with our family, madhu" he gently suggests her.
"That's what i'm doing till now...but now I want to do something, i love pets, doctor" she pleads.
"Look madhu, firstly, we are in apartments so other flat members may object it & secondly, soon we are going to have a baby & I want the environment sterile so that I can keep u & baby away from germs & infections. So No PETS!! Got it?" he politely reasons her.
"Okay, I don't want any pets..." he sighs in relief "but let me name our baby" She offers.
"What? From where did this topic come from? No way i'll let u name our baby...hmm, may be we both decide one nice name together." He says reasonably.
"No. i'll choose the name" she says stubbornly.
"U don't play fair. Okay, i'll give u one last option, if its a baby girl then I'll name her & if its a baby boy u'll name him...deal?" he asks.
"On one condition" she says
"What?"
"Tomorrow while we go for my scan, the moment u find out baby's sex u should tell me so that I can think of names for my baby boy, if it is a boy, okay?"
"Smart, biwi. I never expected that u'll bring our conversation here. U want me to tell the baby's sex?" He rubs his forehead not knowing how to escape from her demand or he should give in to her.
"Please" she pleads. That's enough for him to melt.
"U r a manipulator, biwi. Okay fine. I'll tell" he breathes.
"Thank u!! thank u!! thank u" She says excitedly & hugs him sideways & kisses him on his cheeks.
"Can I work now?" he asks her smiling.
"of course u can, doctor but only 10 more minutes. By then i'll set up the dinner table" she says & was about to make a move but Rk stops her.
"I want to tell you one more thing" He says.
"What?" She asks giving full attention to him.
"I have a conference to attend on friday. For that only i'm preparing this presentation" he says holding her hands gently squeezing it.
"Oh"
"hmm...the conference is in Chennai so I have to leave, my flight is at tomorrow night & i'll return on saturday morning...will u stay alone?" he asks her worriedly.
"Um...I...Rishab" she stammers.
"Madhu, if I knew earlier about this meeting then I would have asked u to stay in Mumbai itself & brought u back once I finished my work but only today morning I got the news...sorry"
"Oh don't say sorry, doctor. Um..can I come along with u?" She asks.
"Madhu only yesterday we came from Mumbai & again tomorrow...up & down travel is not good for ur health baby. Its just a day & two nights so can u manage? Or u want my dad or ur papa to stay with u? If u so i'll ask them to come" He asks.
"No. No need, Rishab. I can manage"she smiles to make him comfortable.
"Thanks, madhu" He caresses her cheeks & presses a kiss on her forehead.
"Dinner?" She asks.
"Yeah, sure. I'll shut down the laptop & come." he smiles. She nods & walks in to the kitchen.
"Pabho, u are done with ur work?" Madhu asks paboo. She nods.
"Then u may leave now & tomorrow don't come at the morning we are going out so come by evening to wash cloths & other stuffs" She says smilingly. Pabho nods & walks out all the while staring at Rk.

"Tell me?" Madhu asks excitedly as soon as they enter into Rk cabin
"Ur health condition is good but ur weight have slightly reduced" Rk tells her.
"I like being slim" she grins.
"Not at this time. U need to gain weight madhu, please eat well mainly fruits & vegetables" he admonishes
"Okay, i'll do that. U just tell me the baby's sex. I'm waiting" she insists.
"I need to read ur scan report first. Patience, Biwi" he smiles seeing her eagerness.
A lab assistant enters his room & says "Dr.Kundra, there is a technical defect so scan report will be ready by this evening or by tomorrow morning"
"Miss. Kathie, let me know when the reports are ready" Rk tells her politely. She nods & walks out.
"Sorry. U have to wait a little more" he says. She sighs sadly.

"I'll pack, biwi. U sit." he tells her & walks to his wardrobe to take his formal suit but before he could reach madhu bring it for him.
"I'm helping u" She replies & passes the suit to him so that he could dump in his case.
"Thanks. But u resting will be the major help for me" he says. She rolls her eyes but obliges & sat on the bed inspecting what all he kept in & what he should add more.
"Finished." He says.
"Ur laptop back & phone charger." she reminds him.
"Oh yeah. Thanks" he says & collects his chargers & puts it in his laptop back itself.
"Don't u think its so early to leave for the airport?" she asks hoping to stay some more time with him.
"No. I have to collect some papers from the hospital heads before leaving" he tells. She nods.
"Madhu, I have kept ur medicines in the side table. Do take it on time & i'll call u & remind u" she nods.
"Lock the door & stay save, baby" she nods looking down at her knotted fingers.
"Look at me, madhu"
"if I look at u then i'll start crying & I dont want to do that" She replies turning her face & blinking her eyes to stop the tears threaten to flow.
"I can't go if u didn't send me off with ur smile" he says. She quickly hugs him.
"Rishab, can I come with u till the airport?" She asks hugging him.
"Madhu, i'm not straightly heading to airport besides I don't want u to strain yourself & want u to stay home safe" he pats her head gently.
"Okay" she says & steps back. "Bye" he says. She waves her hand & when the elevator door shuts, she sadly turns & walks in & locks the door. A minutes later she hears a knock & rushes to the door to open.
"Rishab?" She smiles seeing him back.
"I forgot something" He says.
"Wha.." before she could complete the word he slams his lips on her & kisses her passionately & she kisses him back back with equal vigor. Then he breaks the kiss & hugs her holding her in his arms for a minute & part away later.
"Bye, Baby" he gently taps her cheek with his knuckles.
"Bye, doctor" she smiles. & then he is gone.
Sometimes later madhu was watching TV in loud volume in order to keep the room filled with noise so that she won't feel alone though phabho was there doing her work in kitchen, she was not interested to talk with her. Her thoughts where filled with Rk, whether he boarded the flight or not, whether to call him once before he board or not & that's when she hears her door bell ring.
"Rishab" She mutters his name & quickly stood on her heels & walks towards the door excitedly & opens it & says "YOU?"
