Prologue
"Biwi! Biwi!" Rk shouted for his wife Madhubala, drumming on his plate with his fork & spoon.
"Biwi, how long you will take? I am hungry!" he whined like a small kid.
"Biiiwwwiii..."
"Coming!" Madhu finally gave him a reply from the kitchen.
"Come soon! I am dying in hunger!!" Rk grumbled.
A minute later Madhu slowly walked out of the kitchen with a plate of hot rotis.
"Biwi, where are you lost?" he asked Madhu snapping his fingers in front of her eyes to bring her out of her reverie. She kept the food on the table & was staring blankly at Rk's empty plate.
"What happen?" Rk asked with a frown.
"Nothing. You eat" she shook her head & placed rotis on his plate & some gobi curry on side.
"Jalli hui gobi? My favorite" Rk's eyes gleamed with joy like a small kid receiving candy.
"Rk, wait" Madhu stopped him when he was about to place the piece of roti in his mouth.
"What?" Rk asked holding the food close to his mouth.
"Um... I would like to feed you" Madhu said hesitantly.
"Feed me?" Rk asked raising his brow in surprise. "Why, Biwi, showing so much love on your husband, today?" Rk teased her.
"I am going to kill you, Rk" she said in a mere whisper.
"What?" Rk asked with a chuckle.
"I have added poison in your food!" she said looking straight at his eyes.
"This should be the joke of the century, Madhu." Rk laughed. "Okay, enough! I am hungry so let me eat" Rk took back the dropped piece of roti from the plate & took it near his mouth again only to stop mid way & drop the piece on the place back.
"What?" Madhu asked when Rk kept staring at her. His expression was impassive. Madhu couldn't judge what was running in his mind. He shook his head slightly at her & closed his eyes for a moment before opening them with a resolve.
"Madhu... feed me." he insisted with a gentle smile on his face. Madhu nodded her head twice & took the piece of roti & dipped it in the gobi gravy & slowly placed it on Rk's awaiting mouth.
"Hmm... Your poisoned food is damn awesome, Biwi" Rk said with a smirk. Then he took madhu's hand & kissed the back of it.
"Eat" Madhu continues to feed him few more bites. Rk ate the food from her hand, his eyes never left hers.
"I guess, you can stop feeding me." Rk showed his hand to stop her feed him as he started coughing rigorously. Madhu's hand quickly reached for the glass of water placed on the dining table.
"No!" Rk pushed the glass & it broke into pieces on the floor. "Don't do that. Poison will get diluted & I might survive. Your plan will go in vain!" Rk said in a choked voice. Madhu stared at him horrified.
"You knew?" She asked him shocked.
"I didn't believe you when you said as I thought It was your joke but when I took the food near my mouth I smelt the poison which you have disguised in the food" He said with a smirk though his eyes reflecting pain of betrayal. Madhu held her face down in shame. "I wanted to die in your hand" Rk looked up & caressed Madhu's cheek with his finger tip.
"But why, Madhu?" Rk asked wanting to know what made his sweet innocent wife to kill her own husband who meant the world to her. His nose started bleeding. He rubbed his hand over his chest to ease the burning sensation. His eyes started drooping as he choked out blood.
"Vengeance!" that was the only word came from her mouth. He frowned not understanding for what she was taking revenge.
"You didn't love me ever?" Rk asked with pain palpable in his voice. Then he took madhu's hand in his which she tried to extricate from his grasp but he held it tight.
"Ans...Answer me" he breathed hard.
"No!"
"You are lying. You loved me" he accused her.
"Yes, Poisonous Love" she said coldly & looked away not bearing to see him die.
"You made a mistake & you will regret one day, Madhu" he said in a meek voice as he groaned in pain. His heart started throbbing rapidly against his chest as if ready to explode any moment. He dropped his head on his hands as he tried to breathe.
"Ahhh..." Rk screamed in agony when he couldn't move from his place as his limbs went numb. She'd added aconite, a deadliest poison to his food which will first paralyse his legs & slowly dysfunction his other organs & results in death.
"Rk!" Madhu rushed to him & held him by his shoulder. he fell on his knees when he tried to walk out of the chair.
He almost strangled his neck to bring in the death quick. He couldn't take the excruciating pain he felt in his body.
"Just stab me with a knife & kill me, Madhu. I can't take this pain." he pleaded her. "Please put me out of this misery" he screamed.
Madhu shook her head heartlessly. "You deserve this pain, Rk" she said though her heart ached to see him in begging for mercy.
He gave her a sad smile and fell back on the floor lifeless, his eyes were pinned on hers. He wanted to die seeing her.
"I love you, Bi..Wi..." he hardly managed to make that sentence.
"Rk... Rk..." she took him in his arms. He rested his head on her bosom cherishing the last moments with her. He couldn't even hold her in his arms as he found hard to lift his hand up. But he kept staring at her eyes before he closes his eyes once & for all.
"I will never forgive myself if I didnt tell you this..." Madhu said in a hurried voice & stoked Rk's cheek to make him look at her.
"I am pregnant with your child" she whispered, tears streamed down her cheeks.
He blinked his eyes & fought with his eyes lids to keep them open. It took him few seconds for him to sink in the fact she said to him now.
"My child?..." he struggled & successfully managed to move his left hand a little & touched Madhu's stomach as he gently caressed it as he yearningly looked at her belly. It hurt him more now that he was going to die without seeing his child. In this moment he wished to fight for his life & wanted to live but he knew it was too late.
"My child!" he smiled & closed his eyes as a lone tear managed to peek out & escaped from his eyes.
"Why you... you did this to... to me, madhu?" he cried. "Why?" he asked. She kept mum. He wished she would tell him the reason for doing this to him. He knew he was innocent then why should he die? Why he was punished for no sin & why he had to leave this world without seeing his precious little baby? He wanted to live & look his child grow up. His heart pierced that he wont be there for his child. What he did to deserve this ill fate? He wanted answer for all this but he couldn't as his life was in minutes! No seconds!
"Make sure... you tell our... our child..." he breathed hard. "that I love him or her... & take care..."
Madhu nodded her head & closed her eyes & pressed her trembling lips.
"Sayonara! Bi...wi" He murmured & dropped his head back & took his last breathe.
