Omg! All are hell pissed on madhu... Lol!!
I agree... Madhu is being stupid... I dont know why the hell she is behaving so... She is indirectly hurting Rk but she will regret for her act in future... That's what i can say for now... Lol.
Part 4 - I'm taken so no chance!!
RK's POV
"Rishu" Madhu panics & takes my injured hand to tend the wound but i snatch it away from her. I m really mad. f**king mad at her. I m hardly holding my temper. I don't want to burst out in anger on her, at least not now, not here.
"Nisha, i m sorry. I will talk to u tomorrow" i say & stand up from my seat.
"Sure, Rk. Take care" Nisha says wisely sensing my f**ked up mood & realizing that i need some time to calm down.
"Yo dude, what's going on here?" Sultan asks me coming back from dance floor probably hearing the comotion. He looks completely clueless of whats happening around him. So is dipali. I couldn't see where the hell Ria & Rahul are. But i m just glad they are not around so i don't want to answer more people. Anyway i m not gonna spoil Sultan & dips special night by telling my sob story.
"We are leaving" i tell Sultan.
"Why? What's happened? & why ur hand is bleeding?" He ask me in concern.
"Nothing. I m fine. I will call u tomorrow" i say & he nods understanding. Then i turn & glare at Madhu. Just come with me Madhu without opening ur mouth. Oh thanks f**k! This girl got my look & without asking any senseless stupid question she quietly walks with me to the car parking lot.
"Rishu... Why are you so angry?" She opens her mouth when i start the car engine & ease it out of the parking area & sped the car on the traffic free road.
Oh Mrs. Innocent, u really don't know why i m angry? Well how the hell u know that? U r so innocent to hook up your husband to his ex girlfriend right? Then how do u know this? I thought in my head.
"Rishu... Ur hand is bleeding badly." She says worriedly & brings her hand to take mine in hers but i just shoot a cold look at her which scares her as she takes her hand back & i grip the steering more harder putting pressure on it till my hand hurts as the glass pieces pricks my skin deeper. I just wanna feel the excruciating pain so that i can forget my heart ache in this physical pain i m creating deliberately.
"Rishu, please talk to me" i remain silent not trusting myself as i know i will say something in my anger which will hurt her.
"Rishu..." She will never give up. She wants me to talk to her. f**k!
"Just shut up Madhu" i say calmly. I m anything but calm. I m burning in rage. How dare she say i should start dating with Nisha? Oh for crying out loud, I m married to this stupid girl who might not value this sacred relationship but i do. I might be kicking & cribbing initially about this marriage because i know its all too soon for us & we never saw each other more than like thick friends. But later when we had no other way to go i adapted myself to the present situation but Madhu? She is being so stubborn & stupid & senseless, thinking its all a child play.
"Rishu... I just want you & Nisha to be happy so i told all that. See, she still loves u so its better u give her a chance. Its only best for your life"
"I know whats best for my life so u just mind your own business" i say coldly. Yeah, i cant take her bullshit anymore.
"Rishu... I m your friend. I want u to be happy"
"Oh really? U want me to be happy. Then first go find where my happiness belongs" i whisper not taking my eyes off the road ahead.
"Where? Is it not with Nisha?" She asks confused.
"Nisha... Nisha... Nisha... Why the hell u r bringing her name? I told u clearly, Madhu that i m not in love with her. I was never in love with her" it's u damn it. Its you i love crazily. Should i spell it out loud to her? If i say will she understand my feelings for her then or will she just turn me down saying 'i don't love u, we are just friends, i don't consider this marriage crap' & hurt me more?
"Please don't shout at me, Rishu" she says. Her voice tumbling. I know she is in the verge to burst into tears which i cant handle now. It will only rile up my anger more.
"I m sorry. Please give me some time to calm down" i tell her softly. She nods. Then we both remained in silent till we reach our apartment.
"Rishu, your hand" she points to my hand. It's no more bleeding as the blood dried down.
"I will bring..." She starts but i cut her off saying "you don't bother, i will manage" i watch her walk to her room upset & then i walk straight to my room & slump on my bed without tending my wound. I don't give a f**k about my hand.
In my sleep i feel some movement in my room, some sounds, then i feel someone taking hold of my hand & i wince in pain. I come awake & see Madhu kneeling on the floor beside my bed with my hand in hers.
"Sorry... Sorry... I ... I m just cleaning the dried blood & applying ointment. Luckily i could find no glass pieces. You will be fine, Rishu" Madhu says & wipes her tears with the back of her hand & continues to apply the ointment while i just keep looking at her in daze.
"You sleep" she whispers.
"You too go to your room & sleep. Good night"
"Good night, Rishu" she says & walks back to her room not before switching off my bed side lamp & covering me with a duvet. I love this girl. My Madhu. My baby brat.
Morning i get up early before my usual time as i couldn't sleep long & quickly make a call.
When i come out of the room all ready to my office i see Madhu doing something in kitchen. I simply ignore her & take my shoes & sit on sofa to put them on.
"U r leaving?" Madhu asks with a smile. It's always the same for Madhu. Raat gayi baat gayi! Thats her principle. She never carries the fight to next morning which i like the most about her.
"Yep" i nod.
"Breakfast?" She asks.
"I m not hungry. U eat. Bye. I will see u in the evening" i reply softly.
"Rishu?" She calls me when i m about to leave the house.
"Yeah. Tell me" i stop holding the door.
"Your hand?" She asks concerned.
"Um... Its getting better. Thanks"
"Rishu... My college is starting in two weeks. I have lots of shopping to do. Can i go for shopping today?" She asks me. Why she is asking me?
"You will go alone?" I ask. If she wish i can accompany her but not today. May be i can take her on Sunday.
"Um... My friend Trishna is coming over here. So we both are planning to go together" Trishna is madhu's school friend. They are so close... well, not as close as madhu & i are. Are we still close like before? May be not. Trishna is the only one to know about our marriage. Madhu didn't tell any of her friends as she kept it a secret except for trishna. Trishna also got a seat in the same college in which Madhu is gonna join. Hmm... So fine. They both can go shop & have some girly time. I don't have any objection.
"Oh okay. Use this card" I hand her my credit card which she can use for her purchase.
"Um... I have money" Madhu hesitates to take the card. Oh please. No arguments.
"Just use this card & buy what all you want. Bye" i thrust the card to her & walk straight to the elevator not giving her a chance to defy me.
"Hi" Nisha says walking straight to me & giving me a quick hug. Yeah, i called Nisha in the morning asking her if she can meet me & she readily accepted & asked me to come to a mall where she has some shopping to do. Now we are in a coffee shop in the multiplex.
"Hi" i hug her back & we sit opposite to each other.
"Nisha, i don't like beating around the bush so i will come to the point directly. I love Madhu & there is no second innings for us like Madhu hoped yesterday." here, I said it.
"I know. I know you are taken so no chance for me" Nisha smiles surprising me. "I saw your love for your wife yesterday. I saw your possessiveness when u introduced her as Madhubala Rishab Kundra. I saw your face grimacing when your stupid little wife..." I raise my eye brow. How dare she call my wife stupid? "... um... sorry... your little wife asked me if i love u." haan, that's better "I saw the pain in your eyes when she asked me to take u back & we can date as she don't have any objection & i realized your heart has broken into pieces along with the glass when she mentioned about your divorce" when she noticed all this? I was thinking she was busy talking with my wife & even thought she was happy hearing all her nonsense & hoping to get a chance to get back into my life? But this smart girl was studying my facial expressions closely.
"Well?" I ask lost of words.
"Don't worry. I m not a vamp to plot something wicked & spoil your marriage life. I actually came to Mumbai for a modeling show but yeah i really wanted to see u for myself that u r happy in your marriage life... But sad you are not" she whispers softly. She cares for me. She is a nice girl. I know that for sure.
"No Nisha. I m happy" i try to fool her.
"We might have dated for a short while but i have learned the knack to read your face Rk. Your face holds no secrets. Its an open book." She says & i just sip my coffee not knowing what to say. She might be right.
"So? Whats her problem?" She asks after a pause.
"Her age. Our friendship. This forced marriage. Her stubbornness to accept this new relationship. She is not even trying to make our marriage work, thats the sad thing, Nisha... Well, these are all her problem" Am I not understanding her feelings? Am I forcing her to accept this marriage like I accepted? Am I making her do something which she really don't like to do? Am I binding her in this unwanted relationship? Is she right in saying that we are not meant for each other? Am I fooling myself that I love her so one day she will also love me back?
"Oh oh... That's quite a number of problems. she seems childish & immature"
"She is" i chuckle.
"So what u r gonna do?"
"I have no idea. I m asking her to give us some time & take things slowly. But she is hell bend to end this relationship i guess... & for that her first step is to hook up us. Nisha i don't want to play with your feelings & bring hopes in u. I will never be yours." I say it loud & clear to her.
"I understand" she sighs sadly.
"What's her age? Is it a big difference?"
"She is 18 yrs. For Madhu, 7 yrs is a very big difference"
"Bullshit. Seven years is no big difference. & look at you, u r so young & handsome. You are an eye candy, Rk... I wish you are mine." she sighs "Well, you both look great together. A perfect match. She will grow up soon, trust me, we women show our age soon unlike u men. We give birth to one baby, then we are aunties." I just smile at her.
"You know what? I actually wish my husband is at least 5 years older to me so that he will understand me, hell, I want my husband to pamper me... but here, Madhu got a matured understanding handsome caring husband who is always pampering her & spoiling her rotten" Am I spoiling my baby brat? I laugh mentally at that thought.
"You mean to say that u were just pretending to date me but when things come up to marriage level u would have ditched me & married someone older to pamper u as we both have just a year or so difference right?" I joke. Nisha laughs.
"Of course I would ditch you." she jokes back.
"Glad I dumped you before u do" It's nice to tease each other forgetting everything.
"You are the looser" she slaps my arm friendly. Yes, I m a big looser.
"I agree" I tell her with a sad smile. Then I hear my phone ringing, i fish it out from my pocket & see the screen, it's Sultan. What the hell he wants?
"Sultan" I answer.
"You said you will call me today?" he accuses. When? Oh yesterday. He wants to know what happened yesterday night in the party.
"I'm with Nisha, I will talk to u later Sultan" I say.
"Nisha? Your girlfriend?" yeah, Sultan knows everything about me, even when I was in Singapore, he managed to keep in close touch with me, I even told about me dating Nisha. "Yesterday also she was in the party & now you are with her?" So he noticed Nisha in the party though she left along with us. "What the hell you are doing man?" What I'm doing? Just clearing the air. I don't want to lead Nisha on. "Are u cheating on my sister?" f**k! Why would I? He is getting this all wrong. "Did Nisha say something to Madhu in the party?" No doubt he is a foolhardy. God! Nisha didn't say anything but my silly wife blabbered all nonsense. "If your girlfriend hurts my little sister then sure as hell I will kill you & your hot shot model." Oh Oh cool dude! Firstly get this right u fool, Nisha is my ex-grilfriend. I never knew Sultan is so possessive for Madhu to treat her like his own sister. I know all my friends like & care for Madhu knowing she is an important part of my life. But this extreme reaction of Sultan really stunned me.
"Sultan, Chill. Come to my office, I ll be there in an hour. Then we can talk." I say calmly.
"You better have an explanation for your meeting with Nisha" he says angrily.
"I do" I cut the call saying that. Thanks f**k! Nisha didnt ask about the phone call.
"Rk, You better take your wife for a trip" Nisha suggests.
"Trip?" I ask narrowing my eyes.
"I mean honeymoon trip. You know you can use sex as a weapon" f**k! Madhu will freak. We are not even sharing a room. Sex is no where in the agenda.
"Our relationship is different & quite complicated Nisha. You won't understand but I'm not going to make you understand as I feel it's my personal life"
"Hmm... okay." this girl never probe much. She knows her limit. If she speaks out f her turn also when I tell her that, she immediately stops. I like this so much about this girl.
"What she is gonna do now? Join college or be as house wife" house wife? I just want to laugh my ass off. She is not even using the term wife. Our life is like two friends sharing an apartment, no husband & wife thing.
"She is starting college in two weeks"
"Oh that's nice. She might grow up & get little matured when she mingles with different people & she might start being responsible & even value your relationship"
"I hope so"
"But be careful, she might grow a little more & fall in love with some other guy in college" No! My madhu won't betray me by loving someone, will she? I remember her comment of joining my college to feast her eyes by looking hot men.
"I trust my Madhu" I say more to myself than to answering Nisha.
"If you say so then fine, after all you know her for how long?"
"Right from day one she was born." Nisha's eyes pops out.
"Such a strong love huh?" she asks.
"I don't know that I loved her back then. May be I loved her as a baby, she was so cute & tiny. I loved to play with her. I adored her & when we grew up together I took care of her. But love? Love... Love starts after marriage... after marriage what I feel for her is so different from what I felt for her before. I love her with my heart, with my soul, with every fiber of my being. She is the center of my universe. I can't think my life without her" I say earnestly & look up to see Nisha. She is crying. Why?
"Nisha... why are you crying?" I move from my seat & went around & sit next to her. She hugs me taking me by surprise. Oh what's this?
"Sorry, I got emotional" she says breaking the hug.
"You are a nice man, Rk. A gem. I envy Madhubala for snatching you from me. If you were mine I would have worshiped you for the way u express your love, its so pure, so divine... but your little wife is so blind to see your love. You go man, go & propose your love to her. Say exactly what you said to me a moment before, I could see & feel the intensity of your love for her, surely she will understand too & I swear she will love u too" Nisha encourages me. Should I confess my love to madhu?
"What you are worrying Rk?" Nisha asks seeing my hesitance.
"I'm scared she will reject me" I tell her my deepest fear. I can't bear if madhu rejects my love. Is she matured enough to understand the depth of my love? That's another major thing to think about. I don't want to impress her with my words & gifts & be her crush, I want to be her true love, a love for the life time.
"If she rejects you, consider me Rk" Nisha says sincerely. This girl can't be serious.
"You are crazy" I smile at her.
"Crazy for u. I'm getting crazier for u now more than ever seeing your love for Madhu."
"Move on, Nishu. You are a sweet girl, you will get someone better than me" I say & add "& older than me too" to make the situation light.
"if I m getting you I don't mind you are older or younger to me, I still know u will pamper me like u do madhu"
"You are not a baby, Nishu to pamper you" I laugh.
"So is Madhu. She is an adult now not a baby"
"No way. She will be always a baby to me, the one day old baby girl I took in my arms. My baby brat" I m suddenly teleported to the day My darling was born. My cute little angel. I remember sucking her little fingers, it was soft & sweet. I remember her kicking me on my chest with her tiny legs which has tiny toes & those tiny toes has little perfect nails.
"See, you seeing her like a baby is the reason for her to not able to see you as her husband." I don't get what she is saying. If I have a baby in future also I will still see Madhu as a baby.
"Okay, leave that all, tomorrow I want you to attend my fashion show" Nisha orders.
"As your boyfriend?" I wink at her. Suddenly Sultan pointing a gun at my head image comes to me. He will surely kill me if I go as her boyfriend.
"I would love that" she winks back.
"May be in next birth, you be my baby brat, then I will be your boyfriend"
"In next birth also you want to be your baby brat's boyfriend but not Nisha's" Nisha smirks at me. I laugh.
"Okay, bring your wife too. She will enjoy"
"No way I m bringing my wife anywhere nearer to u" I declare.
"Why?" she asks me puzzled.
"She might get me married to you" I joke but who know my stupid wife might do that too.
"Oh! Then surely bring her. I will marry u & whisk you with me to Singapore" she laughs. I can't help but laugh with her.
"I am taken so no chance, baby" I chuckle. Nisha grins at me.
"I will try to attend your show, if not I will see you off in airport" I promise her.
"Okay" she agrees & get ready to leave.
"Nisha, stay happy" I whisper to her & hug her for one last time.
"You too." she smiles & blinks her eyes to keep her tears in bay.
"Rk, can I ask you something?"
"Sure" I smile encouragingly.
"Can we stick as friends? I don't want this to be our final good bye" she says.
"Of course Nisha. We are friends already & we will be friends forever. I will be there for you in your need of hour" I say & we hug.
"Bye" Nisha says.
"Bye" Then we both walk our way.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hope you all liked the update.
Guys, if u felt the update boring then I m sorry but I really want to clear the air between Rk & Nisha. U might wonder why I brought Nisha in... to play as vamp? Or any love triangle? Madhu feeling jealous of seeing Rk & Nisha close? then No is the answer! Nothing like that. Nisha is not a vamp here, she will be a good friend to Rk. In fact no villains or vamps in this story. If anything goes wrong in Rishbala's life the it will be madhu messing but don't get angry on her, she will come around sooner or later.
