Great updates... Feel bad for RK and madhu -- their inner turmoil is more or less affecting their relationship... I hope RK understands that she needs his support during this time and moves in wid her... So not liking the idea of her staying alone now... earlier atleast there was Stacy but now no one 😭

Okay, I know this might be wrong for me to say... But even though Shivu said she will update on some specific date, she might have others things that came in the way... I know all of you, much like me, are waiting for the next update... But she has probably has some good reason for it...
Also I don't think this considers Shivu, but some writers do lose the will to write and can at some point face writers block... So please have that in consideration... As much as the writers wants to fulfill their readers wishes and can feel guilty that it doesn't happen, this could happen... Again I don't think this last considers Shivu, but do keep it in mind...

I apologize from the bottom of my heart for ditching you all. My laptop broke down and it died...finally. Rest in peace my buddy.


PART 40

My day at work was relaxing. The immediate files I had to go through diverted my mind off my pregnancy and then my ever complicated husband. He hadn't spoken to me since he left. I flicked the pen in my hands as I read the articles. It was a relieving session. I could wander my mind away. My mailbox beeped a while later. It was a mail from Rihan.

Hello RK Sir,

I hope you went through the packets I got you via Madhubala Mam? I hoped that you would call me? But it seems you haven't. I am really sorry... And I wish my packets speak for me.

-Rihan

My mind beeped with the reminder to check the packets as soon as possible. I typed a reply.

Rihan,

I really feel you think too high of yourself. Just to burst your bubble, you're not even in my Top 100 priorities. I have better work to do than sit and watch some packets you got me...via some acquaintance. When I think I can waste some of my time, I'll go through your packets.

Expect nothing more.
RK

I waited for sometime after which I pressed the send button. My mind filled with rage as his face showed up on my mind. With a huge frustrating sigh, I resumed my work.

"Excuse me, Mam!", one of the employees knocked at my door. I peered out. "Mam. There's a call for you. Should I transfer it", the moment she mentioned that, I realized that she was my new PA who had joined a week ago. Darn my memory. I nodded.

"Hello!", I kept the pen on the table and waited for an answer.

"Madhu?", a familiar hoarse voice replied. I froze.

"RK! Hey..", I choked myself.

"When are you returning?", he asked me. I raised a brow.

"Not soon? Why?", I asked.

"I am home...just waiting for you?"

"You are!", I tried to remain calm and composed, although my heart ran up and down.

"Yeah. I hope if you can make it?", he said. I wanted to jump and say yes. But I kept sitting.

"Yeah, ohh well! I'll try RK.", I smiled.

"Have a good day, love!", he said. I melted at the sound of 'love'. A smile left my lips and I kept the cell back on the table. All of a sudden, my day felt brighter...and merrier. The RK effect. I smiled through and through while I worked. After I was done with my stuff for the day, I picked up my phone and walked out of my office to the car.

While driving, the thought of my pregnancy reoccurred to me. I choked myself when I realized that RK was here to tell me his reaction to the news. My heartbeats raced as I realized what it could possibly mean. I pressed the accelerator with an attempt to reach early.

[RK's POV]

I patiently waited for her. The day passed and dusk fell. Yet, there was no sign of her. A part of my mind was concerned about her health and another part of my mind wanted to see her pretty face. Then, there was a part of my mind which was confused about the current situation. Not knowing how and what to react. Earlier, while I spoke to Maa...I told her how it was weird for me. The baby and everything. In the first marriage, I remember how the thought of family had put a smile across my face. And then I couldn't help but recall what all I got in return for trusting someone. A part of my mind, no matter what, always contemplated about the if's and but's in my marriage to Madhu. The apartment was silent. I sat on the couch and watched the sun set and the stars appear out of nowhere. There was no sign of Madhu. I dropped my head on my finger tips and closed my eyes. Her grief-stricken face flashed in front of my eyes. Her eyes, swollen...and tears brimming. I opened my eyes and felt a warm moisture in them. I folded my hands together and supported my chin on the tip of the palms. "Help me!", I whispered and closed my eyes. A while later, the door clicked open and she walked in. I saw her. She looked dull and tired. Guilt ate me as I stood up and her eyes met mine. I could see plea, and a shine of hope. A hope that I might say what she had been dying to hear. I sighed as she neared me. She smiled weakly, trying hard to stop the tears that brimmed her eyes. "Hey?", I choked out. She smiled weakly and her eyes came into my vision. They were deep red. I sighed and pulled her into my embrace. Her cheek brushed in my neck and moistened as tears rolled down her eyes. I kept moving my palm on her back as she tightened her grasp around me. "I am sorry.", I spoke and then realized that the apology was a sudden reaction. Something that I hadn't planned.

"R..", she spoke.

"Quiet, Biwi. If you say a word more, I know you'll burst into further tears and I can't take your tears anymore. They pinch me, through my heart." She jerked up and threw her arms around my neck. She sniffed softly, I could hear her soft sobs. "I've been a disappointment, haven't I?", I stroke her hair. She moved her head in a no. I smiled and sniffed through her hair, her scent instilled new strength in my body.

A while later we broke our hug, and I made her sit on the couch. I sat on my knees in front of her, holding her hands. She looked at me with pain written across her face. I sighed and told her, "I am sorry. I have nothing to say to you.", I grasped her hand. Her eyes dropped in sadness. "Listen to me?", I cupped her face. "This is not your fault. This is our responsibility.", I told her. She sighed and looked at me. "I know I can be a dick at times, but in no circumstance, I can blame this entire episode on you. We are partners in this, Madhu. And you won't suffer alone. She nodded. I stopped and took a deep breath. "I think I want a girl.", I told her and then gasped at the revelation. That was totally insane. I had no idea what I spoke. It was all automatic, as if someone had just programmed to say the stuff...and I had no control over it. I saw her lips widen into a smile and her eyes growing up into a shine and for a moment, I felt like my world was complete.

"We'll figure this one out, together.", I spoke. She nodded and threw her arms around me and broke into a cry. I stood up and wrapped my arm around her waist asking her to stop crying. "Hey!", I said. She looked at me.

[Madhu's POV]

I looked at him. He felt disturbed seeing my eyes. He wiped off the tears and cupped my face with his free palm. "Don't do that. Your beautiful hazel eyes...", he removed the strands of hair that had stuck to my skin because of the tears. "Shh! Just be quiet.", he smiled and kissed my forehead. "This is us.", he smiled. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around him. I felt safe. There was lightness in my heart...like something had just gone away, something that had been pressing my heart. I smiled as he stroke my hair with his palm. "Madhu...", a voice sounded from my room. "Mamma?", I squeaked as I recognized the tone. I looked at him and his lips curved into a soft smile...something very unlikely of Mr Rishabh Kundra. I left him and ran inside. I saw her, sitting on my bed. She had a gleam of happiness on her face. As soon as we saw each other, she got up and extended her arms. Tears brimmed as I rushed into her arms and hugged her tightly. "I love you!", I told her a million times. "I love you too mera bachcha!", she said. RK walked and stood at the door. I saw him while I was in the hug. I curved my lips into a 'Thank you'. He nodded very graciously. "Look at you, you've been crying whole day?", my mom broke the hug and looked at my face. "I am just glad you're here.", I smiled. "I know...", she nodded and tapped my forehead. "I'll be outside.", RK whispered. "No...", my mom stopped him. "I am just leaving. I'll see her tomorrow. You guys, stay together tonight.", she smiled. "Mamma? Where would you go?", I asked her. "Your father thinks we're here to see you...he has no idea he is going to be a grandfather!", she smiled. "Papa is here!", I gaped. "Yeah...but I'll tell him today, and you'll see him tomorrow.", she told me and then kissing my cheeks...she left. I dropped her to the car and when I came back, he was waiting for me at the door. "Thank you...", I smiled rubbing my hands together. "I am so glad...", I was in seventh heaven seeing my mom in Sydney and I really wanted to thank him. But, as I continued to talk, he came to me and pulled my lips into his. My sentence broke midway and I closed my eyes as his taste saturated my body. My nose brushed against his cheek as he sucked my lips. I kept moving in sync. His fingers held my chin in upright position. "Thank you...", he broke away the kiss and whispered. His breath filled my lungs. Fresh mint...that's what he tasted like. He took my hand and we walked inside. He locked the door. With his hands in his pocket, he walked inside...with his head dropped. His lips were curved into a smile, I could sense that. I smiled and walked to the window. I could see the opera house...far away. Lights shimmered in the evening. His footsteps grew closer and he slipped one of his hands around my waist and stood beside me. "I am having my work shifted.", he whispered. I turned to him in shock. "Haan?", I blurted out. "I can't leave you alone in Sydney?", he gasped. I smiled and looked away. "It won't be easy.", I rolled my eyes. "I don't have another option. I don't want you to compromise with your career and this is something that is within my means.", he smiled again. It was delightful to see him smile. Something about this day had been extremely overwhelming. I had to admit that I had a husband who had an ability to make my day special, and eventful.

This was one of those days which I would love to reveal to my children...how my husband had been so gracious about everything. My major fear had been whether RK would accept this pregnancy or not. Not only had he proven me wrong, he had also made me believe that there is a God after all. And that God, had been listening to me. All I ever wanted for him, was to make him love himself again, and that almighty was making it happen. Step by step. As we stood by the window, I looked at the stars shining and felt his arm around my waist, I dropped my head on his shoulders. He tightened his grip and I drew closer to him. That Rishabh, was still there...somewhere. And occasionally, I did see him. Like today. And I could proudly say, I loved him.

I'll update tomorrow.
