Thanks dearies for your likes & comments. Your interest for this story really makes me write further & give quick updates. So keep encouraging me with your lovely comments.
Few things to clear:
Sultan is not Madhu's own brother. He just treats her as his sister. Both Rk & Madhu are only child for their parents.
Nisha will never turn a vamp so don't worry. She will be a good trusting friend to Rk forever.
Glad to hear that you are not hating Madhu. She really things what she is doing is for the best for her bestie Rk but she is unaware that her actions are hurting him. She will realize her mistake later.
You all want Madhu to fall in love with Rk soon, but love is something not in her radar at the moment so she will take time.
I understand u all want to see more of Rishbala moments. I'll give u, may be in next update as they will be going for a holiday trip.
Hope things are clear now! Okay, lets proceed with the story! :)
Part 5 - Gun - Toting!
Rk's POV
"I demand an explanation, Mr. Rishab Kundra" Idiot Sultan barges into my cabin with a gun. f**k! Am i dreaming? I imagined him pointing a gun at my head & now he is with a gun. Will he really shoot me if I ever try to cheat Madhu? Is he my friend or Madhu's?
"Hey, drop the gun & stop your filmy dialogue" this guy can be over dramatic.
"Okay" he agrees & places the gun on my table which is pointing towards me so I just turn it to face Sultan so by any mistake it fires this stupid annoying infuriating guy can die & go to hell.
"So what gives?" He asks.
"Sultan, it's not what u think. There is nothing between me & Nisha. I agree we dated each other but that's all over the moment i got married"
"Oh really? Then why she is here now?" He asks me staring at the gun.
"Why u need a pistol when u come to meet your friend?"
"Why do u think?" He asks me back. To kill me obviously if I step out of my line. Gosh! This is an extreme move by him. Even I never tried to protect my Madhu like this way.
"Do u think I will get scared seeing this silly gun? Then u r mistaken. I know u don't have the guts to really shoot someone mainly when he is your friend." I say with a smirk.
"Just answer me Rk... Why Nisha is here? She appeared so suddenly from out of the blue?" He asks. Nisha's entry is a shocker to me too. But she is not gonna play any evil role here... She is my nice trusted friend.
"Nisha is participating in a fashion show in Mumbai, which is tomorrow so she came here from Singapore. We accidentally met yesterday in your party... Well i could even blame u for our meet. You indeed gave me a shocking surprise along with your engagement news by making me encounter with my Ex. Well, She wanted to see me for herself to know i m happy. I told her I am... & I asked her to forget me & move on in her life as I m married to Madhu I can never ever think of other women. Okay?"
"Okay. I believe u that you won't cheat Madhu."
"Never"
"Okay. Tomorrow u r coming with me" Sultan tells me. Why the hell I should go with him? & where the hell he wants to take me?
"Where ever it is I wont come with u. I m not an useless idiot like u. I have a business to run & a wife to look after at home. So I m not gonna waste my time with u. Go spend it with dips."
"I cant take her to this place. She will kill me" where the hell he is planning to take me?
"Where u wanna take me?" I ask as I cant take the suspense.
"To Your ex-girlfriend's modeling show. So many colorful chicks. We both can have fun by feasting our eyes. I got two passes." He beams at me.
"How the hell u managed to get the entry passes? I thought it's all sold off" I ask shocked.
"Nisha gave me. She is a darling. When I asked if I could get 2 entry passes for her show promising I will bring u, she readily gave me. One for u & one for me" he grins.
"What?" I jump from my seat.
"Yeah. I saw u two in the cafe"
"What the hell u were doing there? Are u spying us?" I ask pissed.
"Doh! I m not spying u both. When I called u I was in that mall only. I came with dips as she wanted to do some shopping & there I saw u with Nisha & then only I called u to check whether u r telling me the truth or hiding something. But u answered me honestly."
"I never lie, sultan & u know that" I tell him rubbing my forehead.
"Yeah, i know... But still testing you know"
"Testing? f**k!" I growl at him.
"Then after you both ended your conversation & once u left I thanked Nisha for being so understanding & not being a vamp. She is a sweetheart, Rk." Sultan says coolly with a ridiculous smile plastered on his face.
"What?" I m beyond shocked. From where the hell he appeared the moment I left? Was he stalking us for long?
"Cool dude. U might wonder about my timing of entry. It's easy because I was sitting right behind your seat & over hearing your conversation" this is gross. Bloody f**ker... He was sitting behind me & eavesdropping & now he came barging with a gun, he even threatened me over the phone.
"But neither I nor Nisha noticed u?" how could he possibly escaped from our view when she was sitting so close to us?
"That's all Sultan's special talent dude" he laughs.
"Stalking is not special talent. It's creepy" I tell him but he ignores it.
"You were sitting right behind me & called me huh?"
"Don't be a fool. Of course I went to a distance to collect my coffee & called u while standing near the counter" from where he got the brain? I thought he has clay in place of brain? But he proved me wrong.
"So u & madhu have problems?" God! He heard that too? The shit has really hit the fan.
"U said u came with dipali right? Was she too hearing us?" I ask him to distract.
"Nope. She kicked me out when i demanded to choose sexy lingerie for her so I told her I will wait in coffee shop till she finish her shopping & there I saw nisha coming towards u & u two hugging which irked me so I stealthily sat behind u & over heard everything." He should become a detective. He is not a f**king fool as i thought.
"Since u heard everything u should be knowing what's the problem going between madhu & me so i m not going to repeat it to u." I tell him warily.
"Hmm... Okay. I m not going to force u because I got the clear picture of your marital issues." He says. I just nod thanking my stars that i dont want to tell everything from start. I m really tired.
"Rk, Madhu cares for you" Sultan tell me which is not something I don't know.
"I know" I smile & look at my bandaged hand. I remember her tears while dressing my wound, she was crying for me, she could feel my pain.
"She is young & immature, so don't go hard on her, Rk." Sultan pleads me.
"Sultan, you really don't have to tell me all this. I love my baby brat & I know her better than you" I tell him politely. I m so happy my friends really care for my wife, I can rely on them to look after her when I m away from her.
"I know Rk. But I want to make sure u won't lose your temper & hurt her with your harsh words because I know she is unknowingly hurting u badly so might feel the urge to hurt her back." that's true. I m tempted to spit venomous words at her for hurting me but I can't do that to my baby.
"I'm really finding it hard to hold my temper after hearing her bullshits but I'm trying"
"I understand. But try hard"
"yeah I will" Hurting Madhu will be the last thing I ever want to do.
"And Rk..." Sultan drags.
"What?"
"Don't leave her yaar."
"I won't." I say but I have doubts in my own words. I have this gut instinct that I can't hold the last string of our life for long. I never want to leave Madhu, she is my very life, my oxygen to breathe but I can never force Madhu to stay with me if she doesn't want.
"Good" Sultan smiles. I smile back.
"Rk, I like Nisha's idea actually. Why don't u go for it?" Sultan says showing excitement.
"What idea?" I m clueless.
"That trip idea." I glare at him as if he is mad.
"Oh come on. Don't go for honeymoon trip... U just tell Madhu... um... its just a holiday trip... Like u know in two weeks her college will start & then she wont get anytime for outing & all so u can take her now right? That will help her to keep her mind free from all this mess & she might also get romantic with u... try to keep her happy... What say?"
"I will think about it Sultan" I actually like this idea of taking Madhu out. Now Malik uncle is also getting better so nothing to worry about. we can take up a short trip. But where?
"Okay. My work is done here. So I will take my leave & don't forget about Nisha's show, okay?" He says & stood on his heels & turns to walk.
"Hey! Take your gun" I remind him.
"Give it to your little baby biwi" he says grinning. Why should I give this dangerous weapon to my baby brat? She might mess with it & harm herself. I look at him wide eyed.
"Chillax dude. I got that gun from the mall. As we know Madhu is crazy for gun toys & gun key chains so I got it specially for her. You know its a laser gun, she can switch off her bedroom lights & shoot the gun at the ceiling then she will see colorful stars, flowers & some cartoon characters. She will love it" shit! Its a toy? This bas***d scared the shit out of me! But yeah, Madhu likes guns. When she was a kid she was so obsessed for soft toys, guns & remote cars, that's why her room is filled with soft toys even now but she is not playing with guns & remote cars anymore. She is not that much of a baby.
When I return home in the evening, Madhu is sitting on the couch & watching discovery channel. Man vs wild. She favorite show & she is f**king crazy for that guy, Bare grill.
"Hi. How was your day?" she asks me with a smile. This one smile is enough to make my day.
"Hi. Good. Thank u" I smile & sit beside her on the couch.
"How was your shopping? Did you got all your necessary stuffs."
"It was fun. I had a great time with Trishna. I got few jeans & tops & dresses & others stuffs. I will show you later" she says. I nod.
"I saw you & Nisha in the mall" Madhu starts. Oh shit! What all are doing in the same mall today? Was it the only mall in Mumbai to shop?
"Yeah, we had a chat & she invited me for her fashion show"
"You are going?" Madhu asks excitedly.
"I don't know. I have work to do. I have a crucial project to finalize by the end of this month"
"Oh"
"But Sultan is pestering me to go to the show with him. But I'm not sure if I could find time or not"
"Hmm... okay" then we remain silent for few minutes before she starts. "It was so nice to see u both so close, hugging each other, smiling & laughing" oh oh! She took our friendly gesture in a different sense I guess.
"Nisha is leaving back to Singapore after the show ends, so I met her as a friend. That's it"
"My friend Trishna was also with me & she was shocked seeing you both so close, she asked me am I not feeling jealous?" Right question asked by Trishna, she is matured enough than Madhu I guess. This little wife of mine should actually fight with me for seeing my ex-girlfriend, shouldn't she? Wives does that right?
"But I felt happy seeing you both together." Why won't you feel happy? You are ready to get rid of me from your life. I sigh sadly.
"Trishna told me to keep an eye on you so that you won't go behind another woman" Madhu tells & laughs. Do keep an eye on me, baby. I will be only happy if u do so! I guess I should send Madhu to more shopping with Trishna, that girl can seed some brain to my brainless biwi.
"You both looked great. A perfect match" Nisha said Madhu & I are perfect match. Now she is saying Nisha & I are perfect match. So I look good with all pretty women. You have still got it Rk. Even after getting married your charm is working on women. If Madhu is not feeling jealous or possessive for me then it means only one thing... that she didn't love me. Great!
"Madhu, I m hungry, shall we eat" End of discussion, because I could feel my control slipping from my hand.
"Yeah, sure" she says & switch off the TV & walks to the dinning table to set our dinner while go to washroom to freshen up.
I join Madhu on the dinning table five minutes later. She has already started eating.
Oh oh! No rice huh? Madhu has made Rotis & daal. Now only she started learning to make rotis so it's slightly burnt but I don't mind. But how I will eat this rotis with my bandaged hand? I have cuts on my fingers too so I have plastered it. I just sip my orange juice without touching my plate.
"Eat, Rishu"
"Yeah, I will eat" I try to tear the Rotis into small pieces but I find it hard to do not only because my hand is injured but Madhu's Rotis are really so hard, no ghee, nothing.
"Rishu, can I?" Madhu points to the plate asking me if she can feed me.
"No, its okay. I can manage" I tell her & try again. This time madhu moves from her place & stood beside me & takes a piece of roti to feed me. But I stop her.
"Madhu, I'll eat. U just make the rotis into small pieces then it will be easy for me to eat" I don't know why I feel the need to eat on my own. May be I m pissed with Madhu for her earlier talk, that's why I feel the need to avoid her.
"Rishu, please, let me feed. Don't wet your bandage" she says softly.
"Then you should have made Rice & daal" I comment.
"I'm sorry. I forgot about your injured hand. But I'm feeding you nah to rectify my mistake"
'Don't go hard on her, Rishu.' Sultan's words hits me.
"It's okay, Madhu" I smile & let her feed me. I like the feel of her fingers touching my lips. I wish I could kiss each of her fingers.
"Enough"
"Rishu, u just ate on Roti"
"I'm full"
"You didn't like it?"
"No it's fine. Thanks"
"Rishu, why are behaving like a stranger? When you started telling me thanks & all?" she asks with tear brimming eyes. Don't cry, please don't cry.
"Madhu, I'm just tired. Sorry" I tell & walk to my room without looking at her.
I keep tossing & turning on my bed. I couldn't sleep. I felt bad for behaving rudely with Madhu. I should apologize to her. That's when I remember Sultan's gift to Madhu. That stupid gun. I will give that to her, she might feel better & happy. I take the gun from my office bag & walk towards her room & knock the door.
"Rishu, you want something?" Madhu asks opening the door.
"No. Actually I want to give this to you" I hand her the gun. She smiles happily. I could feel the relief rushing through my body.
"You got this for me?" She asks smiling.
"Nope. Sultan got this for you as you like guns"
"You won't believe me Rk, I searched for this gun in all toy shops in the mall today. Trishna even got pissed at me for behaving like a child & searching for gun toy. But you know it's a laser gun. I love it." she kisses the gun. Thanks Sultan. I owe you for putting a smile on my baby brat's face.
"Yeah. Sultan told me it's a laser gun & asked you to shoot it on the ceiling in the dark & see the effects"
"Okay. I will try it" she says excitedly.
"Okay. Good night" I tell & walk back to my room & lock it but I hear a gentle knock on it.
"What?" I ask Madhu.
"I thought we both can see the laser effect of the gun together" she says. I want to say I'm not interested but I didn't want to hurt her again. I don't know why I'm in a foul mood today.
"Come" I invite her in. she quickly jumps on my bed & lies on it.
"Switch off the lights & get on the bed, Rishu" She is so excited. I do as I'm told, I switch off the light & close the window screen to make the room completely dark & then I join her on the bed. She scoots close to me. Our bodies touching. My hearts starts pounding & my breathe quickens.
"Shoot" she giggles & looks up at the ceiling.
"Awe..." she wonders seeing the stars in red laser light. She keeps shooting & the images changes from stars to flowers to dora to mickey & so on. But I didn't pay much attention to the changing effects as I m busy drooling Madhu, even in dark I could see her face clearly, she is a natural beauty, I could see her grinning & laughing like a small child. Her laughter is infectious. she moves even closer in her excitement, her head resting on the croak of my neck, I could inhale her gorgeous unique scent. It's so intoxicating. Her silky glossy hair fans on my face. I just close my eyes & relish the closeness.
"I LOVE YOU" I hear her soft voice. I jerk & shoot my eyes open to look at her but she is staring the ceiling transfixed. Did she say 'I Love U'? then look at me & tell me Madhu, please. But she didn't look at me. I tear my gaze from her & follow her gaze. I look above & it shows 'I love you' on the ceiling. Damnit! It's the gun. She just read what's written on the ceiling. Then she shoots the gun again & the three magical words disappeared leaving an aching feel in my heart & some heart shape balloons appeared. I'm just staring at the ceiling but I didn't see anything, I'm so lost in thoughts. Thoughts of madhu. Then I realize that there is no image on the ceiling. It's all dark. I turn to see Madhu sleeping peacefully holding my arm. I don't know for how long I was looking at her. I want her to let her sleep with me in my arms but I don't want to take advantage. Morning when she wakes up & sees herself in my bed with me, she might not like that so, I gently pick her in my arms & take her to her room & deposit her on her bed covering the duvet & placing a soft kiss on her forehead, I head back to my room & stare at the ceiling, I could see Madhu's beautiful face on it & soon sleep took over me.
