Part 20 - Fools in the Pool!
"Everything Which Is Done In The Present, Affects The Future By Consequence, And The Past By Redemption"
(Madhu's POV)
I march straight to my house biting my nail, lost in thoughts, wondering what am I gonna do to stop Rishu from getting married to any other girl. I know he is at no help for me this time as he had given his word to his mother so he will never fail to keep up his promise. He will definitely marry the girl his mom chooses for him. Hmm... Will Radha aunty even consider me? No! She is just being normal to me but I know she is still angry with me for spoiling his son's life but not showing it out. Well, can I blame her? No! She is right at her place. She has the right to see her son happy, even I want that, always.
But Rishu loves me right?? Then only I can give him happiness, right?? If he had wanted he could have married anyone in this two years since our divorce, even when I tried to hook him up with Nisha... God! I feel sick at my own skin when I think what all stupidity I did in the past & what all suffering Rishu had gone through... but yeah, he didn't give a chance to Nisha, he always remained true to me because he is always mine & I am his, forever.
"Madhu..." My dad calls me, bringing me out of my reverie.
"Happy birthday, Darling" he envelops me in his arms, I feel so calm & comfort.
"Your mom & I were waiting for so long to see our baby girl & wish her but she totally forgot us" Dad pouts & I smile at him.
"When you were with Rishab you forget the whole world" Dad comments.
"He is my world, dad" I mutter softly.
"Madhu, eat" Suddenly from back mom comes rushing to me & turns me & feeds kheer.
"You like it?" she asks.
"I love it, Mom. Thanks" I smile & take the kheer bowl from her & settle myself on the couch to empty the bowl first.
"Did you enjoy your day?" Mom asks sitting beside me.
"Oh yeah. So many shocking surprises." I smirk.
"Rishu is getting married" I tell softly.
"Yeah, Mohan was talking about that this morning. But he was not sure whether Rishab will agree or not"
"He agreed"
"Oh really?" Mom asks in surprise. I nod.
"Thank God! At least now Radhaji will find some happiness. She was so worried for her son being alone & suffering. Even Your dad & I were feeling guilty for putting that nice boy in such a mess" yes, I m the mess they are referring.
"Dad, I want to get married" I tell him placing the empty bowl on the tea table. Dad laughs.
"What's so funny, dad" I ask pissed. I m talking seriously but he is laughing at me.
"You are so young. Madhu. You didn't even complete your college. We know when to get you married." he reasons.
"What? Me? Young? If you could please rewind back to the time when you got me married to Rishu. I didn't even started my college. I was young & immature then not now. I didn't even know the value of that pious relationship then. I f**ked up everything, big time, dad" I say gritting my teeth. I m not angry with my parents but with myself. Both my dad & mom looks at me astonished.
"Are you in love, Madhu?" dad asks.
"Yes" I agree. Mom seems surprised with my agreement. Dad regards me coolly.
"Hmm..." dad nods his head pressing his lips. Is he considering what to do next?
"Is the guy pressuring you to get married to him soon?" Dad asks.
"No."
"Then why so hurry?" Mom asks.
"His parents are forcing him to get married to some other girl" why do parents force their will on their kids?
"That boy really loves you right?" dad inquires.
"Yes. He loves only me" I say with full confidence.
"Then he should fight for you" dad says
"He is helpless, his mother emotionally blackmailed him so he agreed."
"If his mother is so important to him then let him marry whoever she shows. You can't trust such boy"
"I trust him implicitly. I love him more for the love & respect he has for his parents. So don't rubbish about him or his family"
"So what you gonna do now?"
"Fight for him. Confess my love for him in my birthday party & also let his parents know"
"What? Your lover & his parents are coming for evening party?" Mom asks.
"Yes"
"You didn't even confess your love to him?" Dad asks.
"He knows"
"he knows you love him but you didn't tell him openly yet?"
"Not Exactly."
"What do you mean?" Dad asks me confused.
"I hurled a huge list of blames on him & in that I expressed my feelings for him, I guess. Though not sure & that's why I m gonna propose him formally"
"What blames list?" Dad asks.
"That's a very long list, Dad. Just leave it"
"What is this madhu? You didn't even bother to inform us before? Suddenly you come & say you love someone & want to marry him?" Mom asks angrily.
"Mom, I myself didn't realize I love him for long, even after realizing also I was in confusion but finally I m out of all my confusions. I m clear & made my decision too. I want him for all my life. That's it" I say & stand up to go to my room.
"Madhu, we are not over here?" mom stops me holding my hands.
"Padmini, It's her birthday, so don't shout at her" Dad shakes his head. Wow! Birthday is one nice escape from getting scoldings.
"Let's talk about this issue later, now tell me, darling, what gift you want for your birthday?" Dad asks sweetly.
"I want..."
"Yeah tell me"
"I want Rishu... I want to marry him... I love him" I guess I stunned my parents once again. Surely they didn't expect this from me.
"Are you gone mad, madhu?" Dad shouts at me.
"Malik, It's her birthday, so don't shout at her" Dad & I sharply turn & glare at mom. How silly? She wants to set the score with dad.
"So you were talking about Rishab all the time?" Dad asks.
"Yes"
"But you both are divorced" he reminds me.
"That's why I wanna marry him again. If we hadn't got divorced then I would have easily & happily started my life afresh with him though I m going to do the same now but with perfection. I want to be perfect for my Rishu, he deserves nothing less than the best"
they both looks at me blankly.
"If you both are still in confusion then please link the Rishu's marriage story & my love story then you will get clarity"
"So you love Rishu & Rishu loves you too but now his parents emotionally blackmailed him to get married & he agreed too?"
"That's a fair & accurate summary, Dad" I smile at him proudly.
"So Rishu & his parents are coming to the party but no one new. Good" Mom sighs.
"Why?" I ask not getting her.
"I was worried I should cater extra dinner for your lover & his family" she says seriously. Dad laughs.
I scowl at her. "I'm talking about my future but you are so concerned about cooking extra food?" I ask in exasperation. She has the grace to flush.
"Madhu, once you made us ashamed in front of Kundra's & don't dare to do any stupidity"
"I was stupid, dad but not anymore."
"Madhu, You are just scared of losing Rishu so you want to bind him to you & that's why this marriage thought raised in your head" Dad says.
"I don't think so, Dad. It's not my insecurity or fear of losing Rishu making me to fight for him but my love... Yes, I really love him & I want to spend the rest of my life with him, Dad. But yeah, this sudden change of event is a wake up call for me."
"Mohan & Radha will not accept for this marriage" Mom tells.
"I know"
"What you are gonna do for that?"
"The same what you all did to Rishu & me" I smirk.
"What?"
"Force. Yes, I m gonna force them to agree for our marriage as you all forced us to get married 3 yrs ago, remember?" I ask shrugging. My parents shock stills in their place seeing my audacity.
"Madhu, let that poor boy live in peace. Why you wanna meddle in his life?" Mom sympathize for Rishu.
"I am his peace... I m his happiness... I m his talisman, Mom. I don't want to meddle in his life but I wanna mingle in his life." I tell with heart full of love for my Rishu.
Mom & dad stares at me. I don't have anything else to say so I walk to my room.

(Rk's POV)
I walk to the backyard pool to get some fresh air. I couldn't sit in at my room & think anymore about what was happening around me. I sit on the edge of the swimming pool & dangle my legs in the water. This place is my most favorite place in my house. Madhu & I used to play a lot here in our childhood. Even after growing up we used to play pool volley ball & pool parties inviting both our friends.
Madhu's house has a huge kitchen garden at the backyard while we have a swimming pool. Madhu loves playing in water so she always sneaks from her house to mine to play in pool.
Suddenly I get an uncharitable thought of our childhood, Madhu was five years old then, My cute little angel was sitting at the edge & floating paper boats on the pool & I was watching her from my room as I study. I had an exam then so I didn't come to play with her but I couldn't help keep checking on her for every now & then, she was a complete distraction to me. When I looked up from my book after studying a page to check on her, she went missing & the pool water ripples. I got scared & rushed to see my baby brat floating on the water unconscious. I quickly dive into it & pull her out of the water & I tried to revive her consciousness but she didn't respond to me. Then we quickly took her to the hospital & gladly she was saved & then i taught her how to swim so that she wont ever face such dreadful situation. I shudder at the thought & look up & notice paper boats near my legs.
"Hi" Madhu beams at me & floats another paper boat. She is wearing a bathrobe. Why? Is she gonna swim now?
"You shouldn't have saved me then... then I wouldn't be troubling you now" she says grinning.
"How do you know I was thinking the time you drowned in pool?"
"You were so lost in thoughts not even realizing I was sitting beside you & floating paper boats & suddenly your whole body shuddered so I guessed you must be thinking that." she shrugs.
Suddenly I pull her into my arms & hold her tight & kiss her hair.
"I thank the almighty every day for saving you & giving back to me." I whisper to her.
"What's the use in giving me back to you? You are going to forget me & marry someone" she looks upset but I know she is acting. I m sure she will never let me marry anyone & frankly I m happy for that.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I'm gonna relax myself by swimming" she smiles which makes me smile back.
"Don't you have a party?"
"Yes, I do. But still time is there. I had a row with my parents so I wanna calm my nerves." she says & stands up & removes her bathrobe. I stare at her without blinking my eyes seeing her in her swim suit. I have seen her like this before too but now its something different, my blood rushes south, my breathe quickens & I get a hard on. She has a very sexy body & her long slender legs are so tantalizing.
"Enjoying what you are watching?" I hear her ask arising her eye brow. I quickly shake my head & turn to the other side. "You can watch me, Rishu. You have the right"
"No. I don't. I m your friend"
"Yes, you are my friend. That will not change ever. But I want you to be more. I want you to be my everything" she tells earnestly.
"Why you didn't accept with me when I told you the same? When I told we can be both friends & married couple?" I ask her. "Why you took 3 yrs to realize this?"
"Rishu I was young then. I thought I could never get intimate with you. I thought I could never see you more than a friend. I was not in love with you then. Well, I loved you always but not the way couples do..."
"I can understand" I nod my head at her. Then we remain silent for a while.
"You fought with your parents?" I ask her breaking the silence. I didn't hear her reply.
"f**king shitting idiot" I shout at her for diving into the water like a fool. The water splashes on my face & body & made me wet. She giggles throwing her wet hair back.
"Join me, Rishu?" she holds her hand out for me. I m tempted to get into the water but I resist myself knowing what will happen if I get in. I can't hold myself from taking her in the pool itself, as I know she too loves me & wants me but I don't want that. That's wrong. Our parents trust us.
"No I don't want to" I shake my hear. She pouts cutely.
"So what happened at your home?" I ask distracting myself from gawking her.
"I went home, mom gave me kheer, It was yummy, dad asked me what I want for my birthday?" she stops. I know what she would have asked.
"Me?" I smirk at her.
"Yes. I said I want you. They were stunned. We argued..."
"Madhu, your dad is a heart patient, what's the need to fight?"
"I didn't fight Rishu. I was in my best behaviour. I clearly told them with finality that I want you & then I went to my room. From there I saw you sitting here so I came to give you company"
she moves in the water & come close to me & rest her head on my lap & holds my hands tightly.
"Please Rishu, don't punish me for my mistakes. I am sorry. Give me a second chance to get back to my home. Your heart is my home. Please don't shut me out" she cries. I take her head between my hands & pull her up, she balances her weight on my thighs & floats up in the water as I capture her mouth with mine. I kiss her deeply pouring all my love for her & consuming all her pain in me. Without breaking the kiss I set her down in the pool island & she entwine her fingers on my hair & drags me in with her to the pool. She hugs me hard not even letting the water to come between us. I don't know for how long we are standing in the water hugging each other.
"Madhu... you didn't forget my aunty ape like bitch right?" I ask her teasingly. She pushes forcefully on my chest & I lost my balance & fall back taking madhu with me as I tried to hold her hands for support.
Then I kiss her hard under the water Minding not to glup the chlorinated pool water & abruptly I release her from my hold & came up gasping for air, then I swim to the other end & hopped up on the floor. I feel her kissing my toes under the water & she bites my little toe sharply & I slap my big toe on her cheek pushing her away from biting me, she giggles coming up from the water surface.
"Rk, Just heard from aunty that you agreed to get married, thank god, finally you are out of that little brat's spell. She is a little witch you know." Sultan says laughing not even noticing madhu standing in the swimming pool.
"How dare you?" Madhu shouts & before Sultan could see her in her swim suit I dip her down the water to hide her treasures. She struggles to come out of the water but I press her shoulders hard & only her head is up.
"What are you doing here?" Sultan asks.
"Shitting bricks" she says angrily.
"Good job" he grins at her. "I was so worried for my friend that all his life he should babysit you but thanks to his stars, you are out of his life" Sultan stop it man. You will make her cry it seems.
"I'm not out of his life, you moron" she shouts at him. He ignores her.
"Rishu, don't play with this girl in pool & all from now on. Your future wife might not like your closeness with your friend" Sultan riles her up. She snarls.
"Aunty told her ex-bahu is choosing her future bahu. So how is the selection process is going?" Sultan asks madhu eagerly. I want to burst out laughing seeing madhu's face going red.
"Where is Dipali?" I ask. As if in cue, Dipali enters the pool area waving her hands at me.
"Hi, Rk. Glad to know you are getting married. Hey, madhu, happy birthday once again" Dipali smiles politely at her.
"Thanks dips" Madhu smiles & looks dipali in amusement.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Dipali asks.
"I'm surprised, you must be 5 or 6 months now but still you didnt show up" Madhu asks innocently but I know she is taking her revenge on Sultan as she knows already that Sultan didn't tell about his doubts to dipali knowing full well she will kill him. I press my lips hard to stop laughing as I look at Sultan who looks as if he ate something nasty.
"Show up?" Dipali asks confused.
"Sultan said while returning from Singapore that you might be pregnant as he forgot to use... um... protection while... er.. you have... you know..." she stammers as her cheeks turn pink.
"What?" Dipali shrieks.
"You didn't know?" Madhu asks blinking her eyes. Sultan tried to crawl out but Dipali hooks her fingers on his collar.
"You didn't use protection? How could you be so stupid? Thank god! I didn't get knocked up, If I was then you would dead by now"
"Sorry, Sweetie. I kinda forgot, anyway we would have eventually got married & had that baby"
"I told you I don't want babies any time sooner" she shouts at him.
"Why she is so bothered of getting pregnant?" Madhu pulls me & asks in a whisper.
"I don't know. May be not wanting to lose her beauty."
"But I don't care about losing my beauty or getting fat, awkward & uncomfortable. I love babies. Babies are blessings" Madhu tells me with a dreamy smile.
"I love Babies too & you are my blessing" I kiss her forehead.
"Come, lets make one baby in this pool itself" she says grinning seductively.
"I can't believe you said that?" I blink at her.
"Yes. I said"
"You are getting brazen. But No!" I answer chuckling & she hugs her face on my chest.
"No. Sex!!"
"What?" I ask Madhu in shock. Then how come babies? & I hear one more 'What?'
"I didn't say that" Madhu leans up & laughs. Oh cross talk. Dipali said that to Sultan.
"You are not going to touch me till we get married & decide to have babies & that will take years" Dipali says with finality & walks back into the house.
"Mission accomplished" Madhu says laughing. Sultan turns & looks down at madhu murderously & shouts "ahhh... I m gonna kill you, little devil" & before he could grab hold of her neck to strangle her she flops back like a dolphin & went away from him swimming.
"You wait in my room, Sultan. I will come" I send him back to the room. I stand up & ruffle my wet hair.
"Don't forget to attend my party" Madhu shouts.
"Don't forget to show my future wife" I shout back & wink at her.
"Hayee... Mein mar jaa waa" she says placing her fist over her chest. I chuckle & walk into my house leaving her in the pool.
