Hey guys thank u so..much for ur comments.

and ..everyone was confused as to y madhu gave him a fair chance so..easily..Guys they were best frnd once. madhu knew rishab...would never fall in love with her.. So when he confessed she simply believed him... After all those years waiting for him..any girl would want love ..n hence she agreed to give him a chance.

But vishal hai..na rishab ko sabak sikhane k liye!

Enjoy the update

PART 4

This is ur room.. vishal said smirking ... madhu anxiously stared at rishab unsure about his reaction. But Rishab was very calm.

Okay..this is good.. To prove himself Rishab will have to work for them. So he would stay in servants room in their place.This was the initial demand vishal made

The room was very small behind the kitchen. Rishab looked around the room ..while madhu stood their twisting the end of her sari ...

Vishal saw madhu ..and understood...untold emotions..But he had to make sure that rishab wouldn't run away again..giving her same pain. Coz if the same thing happens again..she would devastated.He was her bro he wouldnt let him harm her...

madhu u go..to ur room..ill c u in a bit.. Vishal said sternly

rishab glanced at madhu ..who was already staring him.. He assured her through eyes..by blinking his lashes...madhu nodded and left.

As madhu left vishal came before rishab..

So..u have to get up daily at 5 am..and do the household chores..we had breakfast sharp at..8..then u will drive madhu to her boutique..come back make lunch and do other things here..is that fine?

Rishab smiled and nodded. Thank u vishal .for giving me 2^nd chance.. I knw u don't trust me..But I promise u..i wont run away..

Hmm...vishal hummed

and he left.

Vishal went to madhu who lost in her thoughts with a smile on her face. Vishal was happy to see her smiling..but he was more concerned about her future...what if this smile was just temporary..He sighed he wont let him hurt..her. Vishal explained madhu about the task...But obviously he was planning something else too. He took her promise forcefully that she wouldn't help him. She agreed .

Evening

It was almost 7 pm..madhu was in her room preparing her designs ..but she wasn't concentrating..at all. Her mind was playing their confession scene again and again.. She dint knw..why this is happening ..and why suddenly rishab came back..and his confession..she couldnt stop herself from ... hence give him a chance. The love which she had seen in his eyes weren't fake... She knew him a little..she wasn't wrong this time..hopefully...Her emotions...the feelings which she had suprresed within her heart were bound to come out...

Her thoughts went to rishab..and then she realized the time. Vishal had strictly instructed her not..to meet Rishab unless necessary. He would be home by 8-15 ..and will have dinner by 8-30. She gasped

Rishab and cooking..he never liked cooking..Omg!

She ran to the kitchen..only to get a surprise. Rishab was working their effortlessly.

He had already made aloo cury and rice. He kneaded the flour and was making balls out of it. She gaped him as the 8^th wonder of world. Rishab moved to other counter to take the roller ..and saw madhu. He smiled sweetly at her ..but she was still gaping him open mouth.

madhu ..he called her..madhu.. he said little loudly

she blinked her eyes comin out of shock and came to him

U knw cooking??kaise?how did dis happen? She said widening her eyes

He smiled a little and again resumed his work..

Life leaches u everything madhu..

madhu nodded..yes it teaches u everything.. She said with a forloon look on her face. rishab realized the depth of her pain in her voice. He turned to her..while she was staring ahead not making an eye contact with him... He wished she still remain same as the time he had left her. His same madhu his adhu..who was softie...cute but totally different..with him. A carefree free bird. He knew he has to have lot of patience..to get her back. He knew she was trying really hard to trust him..but it will only come naturally. He will do all..that it takes to win her. He sighed and slightly touched her shoulder madhu...

She came back ...and shook her head for nothing

So..when did u learn all this.

She said looking down...trying over come the awkardnesss around them

He moved closer and tucked the curl behind her ear..which was blocking his view. She lowered her eyes...feeling something in her stomach due to his touch..

He smiled at her reaction..

Well I was alone..there adhu..so..I had to learn cooking U knw waha pe I did everything on my own.he said now..making roti..without looking her.

She had tears in her eyes. He was never good in handling all things alone. If she suffered maybe..things were little same for her too.

M ..sorry rishab u had to..d..do all that alone She said looking him..

Rishab turned to her and noticed her tears..He shook his head and cupped her face,,..wiping her tears..

madhu don't cry..please ..I have made u cry enough..dont waste these precious pearls madhu..it pierce's my heart.. His eyes had the same pain... probably in more pain

B..but..u had to go through..all that..

No adhu..I got what I deserved..i derived that.. he said bitterly adhu lets leave the past in past..

Can I ask u something?? He said brushing her stands off her face

Hmm.

Please adhu...I want my old madhu back...I knw what m asking for is too much..but I cant see. U like this he said tightening his hold on her face

Madhu...removed his hands..and startled him

Rishab somethings are not under our control..somethings happen beyond ur wishes..This..is beyond by will..i..dont knw

Both of them kept quiet. Her words were subtle and clear..He knew it will take time to heal her wounds...those scars were still deep.

He made the dinner when Vishal came..they had dinner in silence. Next day was very hectic for Rishab. Vishal dint leave a chance to trouble him..with challenges and his stupid pranks..while madhu kept mum due to vishal 's promise. Vishal's wife pinky came...along with her kid which bought ray of happiness in the house.

Madhu and pinky shared a very special bond. Pinky was glad that rishab came..initially she was also angry on him but later..she could feel his love. Pinky was contented that finally madhu will get all her happiness that she deserved. Rishab's love and care was seen by her. She did try to convince vishal..but couldn't. A brother couldn't let go..rishab's sin that easily. It was very much natural ...his challenges his pranks.. Rishab was aware about his feelings he knew Vishal was good at heart ..n dats y he couldn't forgive him. Rishab and madhu did share some cute moments and...recalled their old days..when they wer frnds. Rishab tried everything to make her the same old madhu..his adhu. This was slowly helping her to come out of her shell. This change was noticed by pinky and vishal both. They saw her laughing more often...with them and their rohan(pinky and vishal's kid)..they were delighted to see her ...so gleeful..

Its been 10 days since rishab is..doing everything. ,madhu would often help in him kitchen..along with pinky. The trio used to have long conversations in veranda after vishal left.

It was Monday and Madhu was in office. Pinky informed Rishab that madhu forgot her lunch. She asked rishab to visit her and give her lunch. Rishab willingly went.

As he entered her office he paused near her cabin. He held the lunch box in one hand while straightening himself...and then opened the door. The sound of her laughter welcomed him. MAdhu was laughing...wholeheartedly. He had seen her laughing..in past few days..but this was like how she used laugh with him.. A smile automatically came on his face..as he gazed her laughing.

madhu...m serious..

It was then he turned to see...the person next to her..while she was just nodding. She patted his shoulder and then kept a finger on her mouth..to muffle her laughs..while the guy just pouted.

Rishab narrowed his brows..looking both of them and came forward. Madhu saw him..and got up smiling..

Aree...rishab..when did u come..

The man also got up and gave him a small smile..only to get a glare from rishab. Rishab looked him angrily. The man was tall and handsome..most importantly. Very over frndly with his wife.Madhu followed his gazed to...the poor guy..

Oh..rishab he is my frnd cum client..Mr.Sultan Sharma..with a smile..

Sultan forwarded his hand for hand shake...rishab took his hand and firmly.

sultan felt odd but shrugged the feeling and smiled.

And ..he is...he..is..rishab my..my best frnd Madhu said

Rishab loosened his hold on his hand as those words escaped her lips..he glimpsed her

Still..she coulnt manage to say..husband.. he gulped his saliva n gave him a small smile.

adhu who I came...to give ur lunch box.. he said avoiding eye contact with her.

Ohh..thANKS..rishab .mai bhool gayi ti..and smacked her head..thank u..she gave him a sweet smile.

He nodded and decided to leave..

Well..madhu lets go..out u had promised me last time...cmon sultan whined U don't have much work now..plz...dont say no

Rishab paused in his tracks..anger coursed through his veins...Hew wasn't getting good vibes from him. first madhu was laughing with him..and then she dint introduce him as her husband. He did feel bad..but then was happy that ..she was comfortable with him..and that their friendship bond was intact. He wanted the same..he wanted to be her best frnd 1^st and then..her husband n love.

Hmm..okhay sultan..i guess I can take u around the city... her words broke his reverie...he turned to them.

Both were smiling at each other. rishab felt like an outsider. He certainly dint feel...good about their special bond.
madhu..rishab called her..trying to gain her attention

Who..are u going somewhere..?? he asked her

Yes..rishab..actually..u can join us..too..

Ya itll be more fun...sultan said

Yes...I can..he immediately smiled and stood next to her

But rishab,what about bhai...u knw u have to complete ur given task..

rishab frowned ...and cursed vishal inwardly..

but..i think..i can..manage

No..rishab its alright..u go..back...warna u knw bhai.,.unhe waise bhi just ek mauka hi chayie...

She spoke shaking her head

Yeh..rishab we shall hang out some time..i m in the city for a week..now!! sultan said excitedly

Rishab clenched his fist...and gave him a fake smile. He once again looked at madhu with hope..but she..assured him to go back.Madhu came to drop him...near the door and made him leave...Rishab left feeling displeased.

Plz comment...guys..this is really long update..more than 1500 words!!

Love

PART 5

Next few days rishab found ..madhu and vishal busy with sultan . Madhu was very comfortable with sultan..as he was her only frnd after rishab. She dint make any frnds after he left..but sultan was very humorous , jovial. He was very friendly and sweet too..he sometimes did reminded her of Rishab so scorned their friendship.. but later on It developed into a special bond.

For rishab this was worse than the challenges he was facing. Vishal had given him pile of works..right from a to z..everything in house. He dint get time to be with madhu at all . Whereas sultan and vishal had good relations. sultan often came at their place..with madhu ..yes with madhu in evening . ANd this hit him real hard. He was getting frustrated...everyone right from vishal to pinky to madhu even rohan admired sultan. His blood used to boil seeing madhu with sultan.

His and madhu's relations were some what better. He dint speak a lot these days as..she was working hard for sultan's next assignment. So Rishab dint wanted to bother her with his talks. He was glad that she was so passionate about her work. So he silently took..all this shit. His and vishal's relations grew bitter... As vishal dint leave a chance to taunt rishab and make him feel miserable.

It was next week..Tuesday night..when rishab was retiring to his room..and he saw madhu 's room light on. He decided on check on her..so he marched there. He knocked her door.

Yes come in..its open

rishab came inside... and saw all her cloths scattered...in her room. She was searching something in her cupboard. She was busy in that.

madhu what r u.,doing this late

madhu pepped out side and spoke

Oh..woh rishab I want an important design..i had made it years ago.. that will go well with the collection..so m searching that..but I don't knw where I kept making a baby face.

rishab shook his head and sat on the bed...and shifted the clothes a bit.

Do u need my help?? He asked her...

Let me try..first..and again pepped outside.. warna..its ur lookout she said with a smile.

He too smiled and shifted his legs up...adjusting properly on her small bed. He saw something under the..pile of cloths. He removed it..it was a book there YEAR BOOK.

He smiled widely...as if he had found some treasure.

adhuuu...he exclaimed in excitement look what I've found..

Madhu turned to rishab and shrieked in happiness

Wow... where did u find this..mujhe laga I lost it...

She came and sat beside him folding her legs.

Well...mujhe mil gaya na..thank god finally u decided to clean ur cupboard.. warna may be hume next birth mai hi milte he teased

She frowned and snatched the book from him..

Phele mai ..dekhungi..

No ways..i got the book adhu... he tried to to take the book..

Maan..ouchh... she hid the book behind her back.. rishab tried ti reach her and in the process ...he landed on her.

She was laying in the bed while he on her. Her whole body was pressed by his. None of them realized his..they were busy . She was still pushing the book beneath her ..when rishab pressed himself more to her..in order to guide his hands to the book. Dats when..he realized..their position..when he felt her heartbeats going high so was his. She had gozzebums feeling him soo..close to her. She gazed his eyes...and found her self lost again. His hands softly rested on her waist and she held the book loose. Both of them...lost in their own world. Rishab brushed the strands of her face...slightly touching her cheek. She close her eyes involuntary. He moved closer and fanned her skin..slowly. She shivered..with his assault and left the book..and clutched his arm. She felt her heart would just burst out of her chest..as it was beating fast. rishab gazed her face...so..serene and beautiful. There was nothing artificial about her. He smirked at her condition..slowly took the from beneath her..and shouted

Got u ... and got up from her..laughing

She dint understand and opened to see him..laughing like a lunatic...

She glared him..sat on the bed and straightened herself..

U r cheater,,,I don't want to talk to u..just go.. She said getting irritated.

he smiled at her..

Fine..adhu...we both will.see together okhay.. And sat next to her..

She looked him from the corners of her eyes still..pretending to me mad.

He held his ears and pleaded sorry through expressions.. She smiled ..and nodded.

Both sat down excitedly..and opened the book. They sat their...cherishing their memories of their past..well their beautiful past. They teased one another..laughed at each other, made of fun of others..gossiped about others. They never needed anyone else..in their life.Just them...only them.

NEXT MORNING

As sunglight...spread in the room.Rishab lazily opened his eyes. He tried to remove his hand ..but coukdnt. He tried again..then gave up and slept again..holding something soft. Madhu felt the hold on her tightening. She opened her eyes..and saw him. His cheek.. She was laying completely on him and was suing his shoulder and chest as pillow. Rishab had his one hand around her waist and other around her stomach. both were gulled to each other...legs criss cross. Both slept after discussing their..school college and everything.. Madhu widen her eeys..and immediately tried to get up. But couldn't due to rishab's hold she tried harder this time...landing on bed completely and rishab on top of her. This woke him up..and he opened his eyes. As he opened his eyes... ..he saw her. Her beautiful..face this was the best morning her thought. He smiled sweetly at her..she was going all..pink and pink. He ran his finger from her forehead to..her cheek..and then to her cheek. She tuned her face slightly..closing her eyes. That's when he understood..it wasn't a dream. He took back his finger and got up from her.

Sorry..madhu who mai..i mean adhu..yeh kaise..m sorry he confusedly blabbered turning his face. madhu got up..feeling totally flushed.

Its..okay..rishab and tucked her hair behind ear.

Okay.. and he left hurriedly.

She smiled...cutely..feeling like a new bride and hid her face..in her palms.

They dint see each other whole day. Vishal again taunted him..but dint ..scolded him a lot as he had to leave..for an urgent work. At night Rohan was playing with rishab ..and he was sleeping. So..he thought to leave rohan with pinky. He lifted sleepy rohan..and patted him slightly adjusting his head on his shoulder..and left upstairs.

He was about to..open the door.,.when he heard pinky saying

So..what have u thought about Sultan's proposal..

Hmm..i don't knw Bhabhi..I guess I would have said yes..if..

If what...?? Pinky probed her to say further

Bhabhi..now..m..i don't knw..rishab nahi hota toh maybe yes bolti but abhi nahi..

madhu don't let it down so..easly..this is a great opportunity..and u knw..sultan na..he is the best ..trust him...N rishab will understand..he is ur frnd frist..best frnd

I do...trust him..but..

What r u doing here?? vishal .scowled at rishab from behind

Rishab looked him totally lost...vishal stared him..raising his eyebrows..

What?

Uhh..nothing..rohan.. he said without meeting his eye..

Vishal took rohan from rishab and carried him inside the room. rishab slowly walked to his room..shocked..

sultan proposed adhu..??and adu trusts him..? He was feeling numb right now..HE sat on the bed..as the whole conversation came back..to his mind

Bhabhi..now..m..i don't knw..rishab nahi hota toh maybe yes bolti but abhi nahi..

He felt tears gathering in his eyes..he let them flow.

M I too..late?? adhu did move on..with sultan

She still..considers me as a good frnd.. Was this the reason she gave me..2^nd chance.??

No..best frnd...he mocked at the word

He rubbed his face...and cried. All his hope..to begin a new life with his adhu hand crashed down. She maybe loved sultan ..and he came in between them.
It wasn't her fault..i had left her on their wedding day...all my mistake..all..my mistake.. He sat their quietly totally dead. He wished for dead instead this. Whom should he blamed. All was his doing. God is punishing him..for his misdeeds.

The next part will..be then end..mostly!Sorry for mistakes..!!
