PART 22
Madhu was walking back and forth in nervousness on remembering what all happened in the bathroom...suddenly RK came from the bathroom Drying his hair with his hand and he saw Madhu walking. He made a confusing face while looking at her. He was about to speak when suddenly Madhu said to herself
Madhu: Oh no what he must be thinking...I just straight away entered into the bathroom...but...it's his fault too...why he didn't lock the door.
RK: Hmm you are right...here I am completely at fault. (He chuckled. a bit)
Madhu: hain na?...I mean who takes a bath without even closing the door.? ( She didn't even realise that RK was standing just behind her and she was talking to him)
RK: Hmm...but I think you could have knocked on the door once...don't you think so? (Even he was having fun in this).
Madhu: Are I thought that he is...(suddenly she stopped in between when she realised that it's RK whom she is talking to and she turned around with eyes wide opened
)...You??
RK: Yes...why were you expecting someone else?
Madhu: No I thought you were inside.
RK: No I don't like taking bath the whole day so I came out.
Madhu avoided his nonsense and said "I should go and get freshen up" and she started walking towards the bathroom when RK called her
RK: Biwi
Madhu turned around and said "what"?
RK: Nothing just wanted to say that close the door tightly...or else Madhu rolled her eyes and entered the bathroom...while RK smiled seeing her
*******************
RK quickly got ready and went downstairs where Bittuji was busy talking to someone on the phone.
Bittuji: No he can't...he is too busy with his shoots..and stop creating a fuss about this...and put down your phone.
RK looked at Bittuji in confusion as to whom he was talking like this. He walked towards him while Bittuji had cut the call.
RK: What happened Bittuji?
Bittuji: Nothing Chief...these media people.
..they don't have any news and just want interfere in the personal life of others.
RK: What were they asking Bittuji?
Bittuji: Nothing Chief you don't have to bother about all this..( He tried his best to let go this topic but it all went in vain)
RK: Bittuji...this is not the answer to what I have asked from you...just tell me the truth.
This time Bittuji had to answer and he said " Chief after what all happened at the party...everyone us talking about you and Bhabhiji...about your relationship...and they were even asking about bhabhiji's true father...but you don't worry Chief I will handle everything...you know na how these media people are they just make a turmoil out of everything"
RK thought of something and said
RK: Bittuji call a press conference in 2 hours.
Bittuji: Chief trust me you don't have to do this.
RK: I need to do this Bittuji...I don't even want to give them a chance to talk rubbish about Madhu and me and even her family...and this only happen when I will...
Bittuji: You will what Chief.
RK: Nothing Bittuji just call a press conference and tell then I want to clarify everything.
Bittuji: Okay Chief
And they left...
****************
Madhu came downstairs after taking a bath...it was the first time after her marriage that she was at home and RK was at the sets ...she felt a bit lonely as when she used to be on the sets...RK used keep her busy for some or the other work...After roaming around she went to the kitchen...she saw Patil cooking there...and went towards him...and she saw a bucket of few boxes and asked Patil
Madhu: Patil...what is this?
Patil: Ma'am actually this is...Suddenly a voice came from behind.
"RK's lunch"
Madhu turned around and saw Deepali standing with her arm folded.
Deepali: And I am taking this lunch to his sets
Madhu: Lunch but RK is already gone right why didn't he take it with him?
Deepali: What kind of wife are you Madhu...you don't even know that your husband is eating properly or not?
Madhu: It's not like that Bhabhi I will take it to his sets (she said it in a firm way)
She was about to pick up the basket when Deepali held her hand and stopped her.
Deepali: No need of that...stop faking your marriage...we all know there is nothing like a husband and wife relationship between you and RK...so why all this drama...why don't you give him a divorce?
Madhu looked at her in shock...when suddenly Radhaji entered the kitchen...and saw both of them staring at each other
Radhaji: What happened?
And both of them quickly broke the eye contact...and Deepali said.
Deepali: Nothing mummyji...actually RK left his lunch here only so I am going to the sets to give him this.
Radhaji: Oho Deepali...do one thing let Madhu go.
Madhu: No no Ma if bhabhi wants to Go then let her.
Radhaji: No no Madhu...wait I am the driver to take out another car so you can go in that ok...
Madhu nodded
Deepali felt hell angry on this she looked at Madhu while clenching her teeth and quickly left from there
*****************
Madhu was in the car...she felt a bit weird... she was feeling like a typical biwi who was going to her husband to make him have his Lunch...suddenly she thought of calling Bittuji...she dialled his number...and after few rings he picked up.
Bittuji: Hello bhabhiji
Madhu: Bittuji...I needed a favour.
Bittuji: Yes bhabhiji tell me what can I do for you?
Madhu: Actually you left your Chief's lunch at home so I am coming there please come outside and take the bucket and I will leave.
Bittuji: But Bhabhiji...(suddenly he stopped)
Madhu: But what Bittuji?
Bittuji: N..n..nothing Bhabhiji...ok you come here and just call me when you reach.
Madhu: Ok Bittuji
And they cut the call...soon she reached the sets...and she was confused on seeing so many press vehicles standing over there...she called Bittuji a few times but he didn't pick up the phone...so she took the bucket and came out of the car and walked towards theThe entrance where security guard was standing...and when he gave her a salute she asked him
Madhu: Dada what's going on here...why media is here is everything fine?
SG: Madam there is a press con. Going on inside.
Madhu: Umm okay thank you Dada (although she didn't wanted to go inside but out of curiosity she entered the sets)
She could vaguely hear some sounds and when she came near she saw people sitting on the chairs waiting for someone.
Madhu: What is all this...as far as I know RK's is shooting for his film here...so how come there is press conference...may be he is shooting somewhere else...and she turned around and started walking when suddenly sounds of people murmuring stopped, she turned around and saw RK
sitting at the chair. She got even more confused...she quickly hid herself in the dark so that no one could see her but only she can see him.
RK: Good Morning everyone. ..thanks for coming all of you.
You may ask the questions now
1st reporter: RK sir have you called only to justify yourself or you will tell us the truth.
RK: RK has never ever justified himself...never felt a need to justify...but this time I have called you guys only to tell the truth.
Another reporter: Okay sir. Now may we know what all happened at the party the other day we have heard that you insulted your wife and her parents in front of everyone...is that true sir?
Madhu was all shocked upon listening to this...and then she looked towards RK who was making up his mind to say the truth...and then he said
RK: Yes I did that
The sound of murmuring increased and photographers started taking pictures as fast as they could...Madhu was continuosly staring at RK in surprise.
Reporter: But sir as far as we know, you and Mrs. Madhubala Kundra had a love marriage...then what made you insult your wife in front of everyone.
RK: Sometimes you do things just to satisfy your ego and you realise it afterwards when it's too late.
Madhu looked at him in surprise...slowly her eyes started filling with tears...Bittuji looked at RK and could empathise with him.
Reporter: So are you saying that your marriage wtih Mrs. Kundra was a mistake?
Madhu looked at RK as if she desperately wanted to know the answer of what the reporter had asked him...and her heartbeat started running fast...when suddenly RK chuckled a bit
RK: (and he took a brief sigh)...Yes!
Everyone started looking at him with eyes opened wide...as if they are asking him "WHY!! WHY !!WHY!!".
Madhu: As expected this man can never change (She said while wiping her tears)
Bittuji looked at RK in confusion...But then suddenly RK said
RK: And this was the best mistake i could ever make
Madhu was again confused listening to him
Reporter: But then what was that you did at the party...you even said that Her father Mr. Malik is not his real father.
RK: Yes I said that!!
Reporter: RK sir don't you think you are giving answers in a very diplomatic way?
RK: No I am just telling you the truth.
Reporter: We are seeing a very different RK today...RK and Sorry doesn't go hand in hand.
RK: Even she says that I can't say sorry...But (he then looks right into the camera lens)...Madhu What if we give an another chance to this relationship
There was silence everywhere...and Madhu who till now was hell angry with him couldn't understand how to react on this.
RK: Madhu "I AM SORRY". I am sorry for what all happened. I am sorry for what I did to you. I am sorry for what I did to your parents...I promise I will never ever hurt you again in life... will you please give me one chance to make everything fine?
Madhu was standing there numb she couldn't believe that he's the same RK who insulted her infront of everyone and now he is asking her for forgiveness in front of the whole world...she started remembering moments when RK never used to leave a chance to insult her...but now whom she was seeing was a completely different man. A man who wanted to give a second chance to their relationship, a man who could do anything just to listen from her that she has forgiven him. A man who didn't even bother what whole world will think of his image.
Radhaji who was watching his son on TV was full in tears
Radhaji: I am proud of you Rishu...this is who you are my sweet innocent Rishu who can do anything for the one you care.
Reporter: We have always seen this RK onscreen...never thought that other than ego RK has a heart too.
RK: Yes this RK was lost somewhere few years back...but now he is back...and he will never be lost again
Everyone laughed and apllauded for him...Bittuji felt so proud of his Chief that as he finally confessed his feelings in front of everyone...Madhu now couldn't judge him anymore...she was smiling seeing at RK...all that anger which was bursting out now and then was taken away by that innocent way of asking for forgiveness...then she realised that she was smiling looking at him...and she became normal when she saw people getting up from there...and she decided to call Bittuji.
Bittuji: Hello Bhabhiji...I am sorry I couldn't pick up your call because (Suddenly Madhu interrupted)
Madhu: I know Bittuji.
Bittuji: You know?
Madhu: Yes Bittuji I am right here at the studio
Bittuji: You are here?
Madhu: Yes but But please don't tell your Chief about this...first you come near the phone booth and take this lunch he must be hungry after talking so much...just give him this.
After few minutes he came near the phone booth
Bittuji: Bhabhiji why aren't you coming inside?
Madhu: No Bittuji I will talk to him when he is home...and please make him eat this...don't forget
Bittuji: Okay Bhabhiji (He was happy seeing her being concerned for RK)
And she left
THE END!!!😊😊
