PART - 19
It was 6 in the morning
RK didn't slept the whole night...he was only sitting beside Madhu...cursing himself for what he did...He looked at her innocent face...and caressed her hair...he couldn't stop his tears rolling down from his eyes...and while crying he said.
RK: How could i do this Madhu...all this while you suffered for the sin you didn't do...everytime you told me that you haven't done this...but i like a fool blindely trusted the words of the press...I know...sorry isn't enough for what i have done...but please forgive me Madhu...please.
Suddenly he heard someone coming into his room...he quickly wiped his tears...and looked upwards...it was his Mother...slowly slowly walking towards him.
Rishu: R...R...Rishu (she stammered)...how is Madhu now?
RK didn't answer...he was still sitting there numb...radhaji noticed his son's grief...but she was equally confused as what has made him sad...as he was feeling so victorious after insulting Madhu's parents the previous night...but what suddenly happened that his behaviour has changed...She came to talk to his son about what he did last night...but looking at his condition she just couldn't say anything...and because RK didn't answer she turned around and started walking...but then she heard a Voice
"MA"
She turned around in shock...it was RK...after so many years she heard him calling her as his mother
Radhaji: Rishu (She said it while tears rolled down from her eyes...and quickly walked towards him.)
RK was still sitting beside Madhu when Radha came towards him, she was about to hug him...but suddenly she stopped as she hesitated...but then RK looked towards her and again said "MA"...and she hugged him tightly while still standing...he hugged her back.
Radha: Rishu (she couldn't stop her tears...she kissed his forehead).
RK: Ma why it always happens with me...when I shouldn't trust people i do and get hurt...But when i should have trusted Madhu...i did not...and above all i treated her like a slave...insulted her...her sister...her family...everyone.
Radha: Rishu...Everyone told you that she is innocent she hasn't done anything but you never listend to anyone...(then she carresed his face) But now...now you have to make everything fine...and i know my son will do this...(he was again lost in his thoughts) are your listening to me Rishu?
***************************
At Madhu's house.
Everyone were sitting in the living...still in shock because of what happened last night.
Padmini: Why did he do this Malik...what we have done?
Malik: I don't know Padmini ji...but if he is like this...then what about Madhu...he must be treating her like a slave...I should go and talk to Madhu...I need to know what's happening in her life.
****************************
Radhaji was still standing beside RK when Bittuji came.
Bittuji: Chief Auntyji...is everything fine...is Bhabhiji fine?
Radhaji: Yes Bittuji she is still sleeping.
RK: A...a.. Bittuji...and you (This time he didn't call her "Ma" as he hesitated a bit)...you go down I am here with Madhu.
Bittuji: But Chief.
RK: Bittuji...Go...and cancel my shoot and other appointments for today.
Bittuji: Yes Chief
And Bittuji and Radhaji went downstairs.
*****************************
Bittuji: What...really auntyji?
Radhaji: Yes Bittuji...At first even I was shocked but then when he hugged me...I felt like my Rishu has come back...he is very guilty of what he did Bittuji.
Bittuji: That's a very good news Auntyji...but.
Radhaji: But what Bittuji?
Bittuji: I am afraid auntyji...will Bhabhiji forgive Chief for all his faults...What Chief has done is very wrong...I don't think she will forgive him.
*****************************
At RK's room.
RK was sitting beside Madhu when she slowly gained conciousness...RK noticed this and felt happy.
RK: Madhu
Madhu woke up while RK helped her in taking support by keeping a pillow at her backside.
RK: Madhu...Madhu are you fine...should I get you something...juice, lemonade...water...anything?
Madhu: No thanks...I am fine
she was still half concious but then she started getting flashbacks of last night and slowly the whole episode came and stood in front of her eyes...she looked at RK in anger who was smiling seeing her all fine...but this time Madhu couldn't control her anger and raised her hand and gave a tight slap on his cheek.
Madhu: I have never seen a cheap person like you in my whole life...you can cross all the limits only to satisfy your ego...RK The Superstar...people know you by this name right but from today I will give you one name..."RK The Cheapstar"...I really pitty on people who are mad at you...if they will come to know...who you are and what you can do...This superstar tag will be removed from your name in minutes.
RK who was listening to her...not even uttered a word...he knew that her anger is completely justified...and then again she said.
Madhu: What happened...why aren't you saying anything...huh or you are planning for something bigger than the last night...this is how yor life goes right...planning acting drama and all...but let me tell you one thing RK my parents are above all and I will never forgive you for what you did to them...understood...she got up RK got up too...but she again felt dizzy and was about to fall...when quickley RK held her and saved her from falling down
RK: Madhu
They looked at each other...RK saw anger in her eyes but Madhu...she saw eyes full of guilt and sadness...although till now RK didn't say anything but she could clearly feel that RK is guilty...don't know why but she started melting on seeing that teary eyes...but then she remembered what he did last night and she pushed him away and said,
Madhu: I can take care of my self...don't even dare to touch me.
She went to the bathroom to get freshen up and came out after few minutes and she straightaway went to the wardrobe and started packing all her stuff...RK was watching her taking out her clothes.
RK: What are you doing?
Madhu: That's none of your business.
RK turned her towards him and asked said
RK: It is my business just tell me where are you going?
Madhu: I am leaving this house...
RK: What?
Madhu: Yes Mr. Rishabh Kundra...I was living in this hell only because of Malik...but as he knows everything now...I will not stay here for a second.
Suddenly a voice came from downstairs
Madhu Madhu...it was Malik Madhu quickly ran downstairs...and hugged Malik...Radhaji and Bittuji were looking at them...and even Deepali and Sikky came out of their room listening to the voice
Malik: Madhu...how are you?
Madhu: I am fine Malik...and I am really sorry for what all happened yesterday.(she shooked her head and cried)
Malik: Madhu tell me...what's up with you both...I know there is something wrong between you and RK...tell me.
Madhu was about to tell him everything but suddenly she stopped.
Malik: What happened tell me Madhu?
Madhu: Nothing Malik...everything is fine.
Malik: What...how can you even say that beta...I know something is wrong.
Madhu: It was Malik but after party we sorted out everything.
Malik: No...that can't be possible...i know there is something that you are hiding from me please tell me Madhu.
Madhu: No Malik...if there was something I would have told you but there is nothing...trust me everything is fine.
She just couldn't tell him the truth...instead she faked a story that there was something but it's sorted...may be she didn't wanted her family to suffer more because of her...RK was standing upstairs and was listening to their conversation...he knew why Madhu couldn't tell them the truth...if she had...maybe Malik couldn't take it as he was already shocked with yesterday's episode...and if he came to know the truth may be his health may get more worse.
Malik: I still can't believe that everything is fine...anyway...If you say so I will believe you.
And he left.
Everyone was confused that why Madhu didn't tell him the truth
Deepali: When she will get out of this house?(she murmered)
Sikky: Why should we bother...infact I am enjoying all this...so much of drama you know.
Deepali rolled her eyes on listening to this...and went inside her room and sikky followed her...RK too went inside his room
Biituji and Radhaji came towards Madhu.
Radhaji: So have you forgiven RK?
Madhu: What...Ma how can you expect me to forgive him?
Radhaji: (she got confused as she thought that RK had confessed her mistake in front of her) No..beta actually...anyway leave it.
Madhu: No Ma you were saying something...tell me
radhaji: No beta leave it.
Madhu: Ma please tell me.
Bittuji: Bhabhiji Chief is actually really very guilty of what he had done...(He narrated everything to Madhu that how she fainted and how he brought her in his room and called the doctor and sat by her side the whole night...and how he confessed his mistake in front of Radhaji)
Madhu: So you really think he is sorry for what he did...huh...I am sorry Bittuji...but your Chief can never be sorry...such egoistic person can never be sorry...just can't trust him any more...so please don't even try to convince me to forgive him.
Radhaji: We are not convincing you Madhu...I know he has done wrong...but what if he is genuinely sorry...shouldn't he get one chance beta...and i know beta if you will try you can turn him into a better person.
Madhu: Please ma...i can not change him...no one can...please don't expect from me that i can do this...please ma...(She suddenly realised that she is being rude to Radhaji and then she asked for and apology) I am sorry Ma...I talked with you rudely...but i beg you Ma don't expect anything from this relation...I am hurt to the core...and no one can heal this...and my only reason for not telling the truth to Malik is that i don't want my family to suffer...If I would have tell him the truth...he couldn't bear that...you tell me Ma how a father can sit quietly if he comes to know that her daughter's husband married her only for revenge...he is a heart patient Ma he will not be able to take all this.
she wiped her tears and left.
