Part 15
The next day Madhu was feeling very uncomfortable. The possibility that RK could be in love with her was giving her chills. She couldn't decide how she should react on it. Talking to RK now felt like a big deal to her, it wasnt even this way when RK had married her forcefully and literally spat each word in hate throwing insults on her. But now when she was thinking that he might be in love with her she was feeling this strange inhibition. She remembered last night. She had laid down on her side and pretended to sleep even though she wasnt asleep.
"Biwi.." came RK's voice as he came out of the washroom after getting ready. He looked at Madhu who was sitting on the bed like a guest. Madhu looked at him nervously.
"What?" RK looked at her confused.
"Nothing.." Madhu said politely shrugging.
"Wow.. does that tone exist in your voicebox...?" RK said chuckling sarcastically.
Madhu rolled her eyes hearing him. "Biwi.. give me a coat.." RK asked as he settled his hair.
Madhu nodded her head and went to the cupboard. RK looked at her through the corner of his eyes. Madhu's behaviour was disturbing him. He loves her but he didnt want her to change into an ever so polite wife type. He wanted her to be the way she had always been with him.
Madhu came back with a blue coat in her hand and forwarded it to him not looking him.
"Biwi.. I havent got conjunctivitis that you cant look at my eyes.." RK said taking the coat from her hand.
"I would go and check on your breakfast." Madhu said turning away. RK took a deep breath in frustration.
As RK was about to leave for office he was stopped in his tracks suddenly as he saw Malik entering the gate of his mansion.
"How could you have thought that you are welcome in my house?" Rishabh asked as anger started building up in him.
"Rishabh I need to talk.." Malik said calmly.
"But I dont want to talk.. there's nothing between is that could be talked out..." RK said looking him menacingly.
"There is..." he replied with confidence.
"Oh really? Enlighten me then.." RK asked smirking.
"I am ready to confess.." Malik said after taking a deep breath.
"Confess what?" RK asked confused.
"That I killed Radha and Mohan.."
"Your confession means the least to me because I know.. I know what had happened.. so you keep your confession with you and eat drink and sleep with it.. I care the least.." he spat his words at him.
"I will confess in front of the police.." Malik almost screamed to get himself heard. RK was left dumb struck. That wasnt what he expected.
"But!" Malik continued. "You will have to free my daughter.. Give her divorce and let her alone.."
RK was even more shocked. "And what makes you think I would do that?" He asked back.
"You want your revenge.. I am ready to give it to you.. I will confess and get punished for it.. but you leave my daughter and let her out of all this mess.. she was nowhere a part of any of this.." Malik said angrily.
"Even I wasn't a part of it" RK said with hurt in his eyes. "I was also innocent.. an innocent boy living and enjoying his life.. but because of your loathe and greed, I suffered. You killed my parents.. they werent wronged, they just vanished, you werent wronged but I was the one who suffered.."
Malik looked at him helplessly as the pain descended in his eyes too. "Rishabh I beg you for my daughter.. Is it necessary that if your life was affected then you spoil hers too.." Malik said pleadingly.
"Her life wont be spoilt.." RK replied not looking at him.in the eye as he didnt like to hear that for Madhu. "Perhaps it would be much better for her that she wont have to live with a murderer.."
Malik closed his eyes in pain hearing that.
"And let me tell you Shamsher Malik.. I wont leave Madhu not now, not ever..." RK said to him firmly staring at him in the eye.
"I am not going to let my daughter suffer.. I will be back soon.." Malik said getting angry and then walked off.
RK looked at him going away with furious eyes. He turned back as he checked lest Madhu might have heard them and then walked off out of the gate himself.
The whole day passed as Madhu kept thinking about what she should do. She didnt even get out of the room much as she didnt want to face Dipali. She had very confidently assured her that she would reunite her with Rishabh but now she herself was doubtful of whether to work on those lines or not. She had no problem being the way she is now and that she lived with Rishabh but the only thought that plagued her mind was the possibility that Rishabh might actually love her. And if he loves her then since how long? They have known each other for forever.. Is it since the marriage or before that. But she never thought of him that way. She had always been proud that their's was an exceptional friendship. Now thinking about loving him suddenly made him a stranger to her. But then she never thought of anyone else either. she might be developing appreciations and crushes but she never took any of them seriously. They were all just a passing fantasy. Was it because she too felt the same way for him?
She was now sitting in front of the TV and thinking about this newly propped up question when RK entered the room.
"You are early today.." Madhu asked him in a reflex.
"I dont think so.." RK shrugged at her.
Madhu looked at the clock and realized that he was in fact a little late. It was her who was utterly disoriented the whole day to take notice of the time.
"Ohh okay.." she said getting back to her reserved behavior. "I will get you something to eat.." she said getting up.
After sometime RK was sitting in their room and eating the toasts. He was lost in thoughts. The whole day he thought of a way out of this new situation. Madhu was already bent on her cupid game and was pestering him for searching for proofs against Malik so they could get him punished and along with that end their marriage. And now Malik himself came forward to confess his crime in front of the court. That would give her a chance to go farther away from him. If Malik comes and tells Madhu the grand proposal he had got then RK could very well picture what Madhu would get upto. Sure he can keep her with force like he did earlier but somehow he didnt want to be that RK anymore. He did that in rage but now he knew and realized that Madhu was actually innocent. How could he harm her anymore when he had seen her crying and mourning for his dead parents?
"Rishu.." Madhu called out to him bringing him out of his thoughts. RK looked at her.
"Papa was here..." Madhu said to him looking at the floor. Suddenly RK felt his heartbeats stop. What he feared the whole day had already happened. Had Malik came and told Madhu what he told him.
