I know this story is one silly idea... Nothing makes sense at all... But still bear with me & read the FINAL PART to understand this complicated Rishab! Lol
PART - 4
"Hi, Rishab!" Madhu greeted Rk who was sitting on the couch in the living room & watching Cricket match.
"Hey! You are late." Rk said.
"Sorry. Had few last minute appointments." Madhu said apologetically & sat on his lap & flung her arms around his neck & kissed his cheek.
"It's okay, baby." Rk said & pecked her lips.
"When did you come?" Madhu asked him who had his focus on the TV screen.
"Shit!" He cursed when the bowler had bowled a no ball.
"Rishab!"
"I rushed home by 7.30 but still missed the toss." He said feeling little upset.
"You missed the toss. Not the match." She said in a pissed off tone. Her husband was not paying attention to her but was so focused on the damned cricket match!
"Yeah, I know... But still..."
"You like cricket so much?"
"Like? Madhu, I am crazy cricket fan. I am a state level player."
"Oh!" That was a news to her.
"Where is mummyji & daddyji?"
"Gone to Pune for a wedding. They didn't tell you?"
"Oh yeah. I forgot. My bad." She shook her head.
"So just the two of us?" Madhu asked in a seductive tone as she trailed her index finger down his cheek.
"Howzat!!!" Rk shrieked making Madhu jump off his lap in fear.
"Rishab, you scared me."
"Oh! Am sorry, biwi. Its just our team got a key wicket." Rk said, feeling embarrassed of scaring her. This time Madhu didnt bother to sit on his lap as she feared her husband might throw her down on floor in his excitement so she sat on the couch beside him & rested her head on his shoulders.
"Rishab, I am hungry."
"Here." He passed her the pop corn bowl which he was having.
"Shall we have our dinner?" She asked him.
"I had my dinner, Madhu. You go eat." He said casually not even looking at her.
"But we eat together nah?" She asked him feeling hurt. It was she who come early to home daily & wait for her husband till he reach from office & they eat together.
"You got late... I was hungry... Besides, I didnt want to miss the match so when the first innings got over I had a quick dinner to watch the second innings without any disturbance."
"So I am a disturbance?"
"I didn't tell like that."
"Every single day in this four months I waited for you so that we could have our dinner together but you?" She turned her face feeling angry & hurt.
"I didnt ask you to wait." He said in his defense.
"Yeah. You didnt because you don't care for anything... But I am the fool here."
"Why you are overreacting for this silly issue? If you are hungry then go have your dinner or wait for ten minutes. Drinks break will come, then I will come & serve you dinner."
"No, thanks." Madhu snarls at him.
"Okay cool!" He said & went back to watch the match.
Madhu stomped her foot & rushed to room.
"Madhu, wake up." Rk patted her shoulders. She was actually not sleeping but pretending as if sleeping. She had gone to bed without eating feeling sad that her husband doesn't cares for her.
"Madhu... Come on, up." He pulled her up holding her arms.
"What?" She barked at him.
"Here, I got your favorite black current ice cream." He said & gave her the ice cream bowl.
Madhu shyly smiled feeling happy that her husband do cares for her. He wanted to somehow make up for not having dinner with her by getting her favorite ice cream. She thoughts happily.
"Why suddenly ice cream & all?" She asked in a disinterested but she couldn't hide her joy swelling in her heart. That was what she wanted! Her husband's care! His love!
"India won the match to celebrate that I got us ice cream." His answer washed off all the bliss she felt a moment back. Why the hell can't he shut his big mouth... Why the hell he spoiled everything when things were getting better?... No wait! It was me who asked the question first hoping to hear something sweet & lovely... But I should have known well not to expect anything lovey dovey from this devil.
She was about to take a spoon full of ice cream to her mouth but then she sets it back & pushed it away.
"What? You are not going to eat?" Rk asked wondering why she pushed the bowl away.
"Ice cream is melting, Madhu." He told her as he took a spoon close to her mouth to feed her but she turned her face.
"What?"
"I don't eat ice cream at night times. My teeth will get cavities."
"Oh yeah. I actually forgot my wife is a dentist. Okay fine. I will have yours too. If I get cavities also you will treat me nah?." He said grinning & started having her share of ice cream too while Madhu gapped at him in disbelief.
"You didnt have your dinner?" Rk asked Madhu. He had gone to the kitchen to put the ice cream bowl in the sink & found the food sitting on the dining table untouched. Then he realized she hadn't taken her dinner so he dished out the food on a plate & brought it to their bedroom.
"I am not hungry." She lied & turned to the other side to sleep.
"You said you were hungry when you came home?" He asked her as he walked to her side with the plate.
"Here, eat." He ordered & placed the plate on the bedside.
"I am feeling sleepy."
"Eat & sleep, Madhu."
"I don't want."
"Don't behave like a child." He scolded her. "Eat."
She remained stubborn & covered her face with the duvet.
"Eat, baby." He said softly as he pulled the duvet down.
"What do you care?" She asked him irately.
"I don't like good food going waste." He said sincerely which hurt Madhu more. She wished to hear him say 'I don't like you sleeping in empty stomach' but he cared so much for the damned food but not for her.
"I am going to my parents place." She suddenly declared.
"Now?" He asked with a frown.
"No! Tomorrow. I want to spend this weekend with them. Anyway daddyji & mummyji will be coming from Pune only by monday morning... So I.."
"You said its just the two of us?" He asked her disappointed. "That you should have thought before ignoring me & watching match." Madhu screamed in her head.
"So?"
"I thought we could... You know..." His words trailed off as he rubbed her arms.
"I want to see my parents. I miss them." She said gulping down her sob. She wanted someone to show her love & take care of her.
"Okay!" He granted her permission.
"I didnt ask for your permission. I just informed you." She said feeling a strange urge to hurt him in any way possible.
"Whatever. Now eat & sleep. Tomorrow, I will drop you at your parents place."
"No, thanks. I will go by myself. And I don't want anything just let me sleep."
"Madhu, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. I am too cool." She faked a smile.
"Please eat." He said now feeling concerned for her.
"If you don't want this food to go waste then you eat." She said lay back on the bed.
Rk sighed at her stubbornness but then he did ate the food as he loathes wasting food.
"You really wanna sleep?" Rk asked her as he stretched beside her on the bed after finishing his second dinner.
"I won't get you for the next two or three days so I think we should use this time..." He whispered near her ear & nuzzled her neck.
"Hmm... No." She pushed his face away with her shoulder.
"Are you having your monthly?" He asked.
She turned to him with a curious frown.
"No! Why?" She asked.
"You are saying no to me." He replied. She had never stopped him when he touched her but this was quite shocking to him.
"Its just... I am not in the mood." She said looking away.
"Oh! Okay. Good night." He kissed her lips chastely & rolled to his side to sleep. Madhu stared at him for few minutes, even after the lights had gone off, she kept staring at him wondering was he for real?
~~0~~
"Hey! You here?" Rk asked in surprise seeing Madhu at their home. Yesterday, she had gone to her parents place & said only after two or three days she will return home but she was there the very next day & welcoming him home with a bright smile.
"I missed you." She said throwing her arms around his neck hugging him hard.
"Ahaan!" He said & nuzzled her neck inhaling her scent. "Hmm... You are the best drug for me. You intoxicate me, Biwi!" He took her face between his hands & started kissing her all over her face.
"I am sorry" Madhu whispered to him.
"Why?" He asked looking at her puzzled.
"For leaving you alone & going home."
"Oh come on, biwi. I am not a baby. I can take care of myself. Is that why you are back? You should spend some time with your parents too."
"But I have a reason why I am here." She said.
"What?" He asked.
"Sorry, I came to know about it little late. Thanks to Trishu for informing me... But why you didnt tell me before?"
"What you came to know? What Trishu informed you? & what I didnt tell you? Why are you talking in puzzle?"
"You didn't tell me today is your birthday!" She accused him.
Rk chuckled. "What's there to tell?"
"Its your birthday, Rishab"
"So? Its just a day like any other as far as I am concerned and all it means is that I will be one day older." He said with a casual shrug.
"Not for me. Its a pretty special day to me. Happy birthday." She said & kissed his lips.
"Thank you." He smiled at her. "Every year my parents & Trishu say the same... But I don't feel like celebrating."
"You know... You are so dull & boring." She chided him. He laughed & pulled her closer in his arms.
"Here, this is my gift for you." She said & showed him a gold bracelet with the word 'Love' inscribed on it.
"Love?" He smirked as he closely looked at the bracelet. "I like it."
"Show me. I will put for you." Madhu took the bracelet from his hand & clipped it around his wrist. "Perfect!" She said grinning as she caressed the word 'love' with the tip of her finger.
"Thanks, Biwi." He kissed her forehead.
"Pleasure all mine, Pati!" She whispered in a sexy voice, while she loosened his tie & then slowly slided it off.
"Dinner is ready." She said as she started unbuttoning his shirt all the while planting kisses over his chest.
"You know you are a seductress." Rk said with a soft chuckle.
"Dinner?" She asked him batting her eye lashes.
"I am not hungry - for food" he said circling his thumb over her blushing cheek. "But I am starving - for you" he said in a husky sexy tone.
"We can't have you starving, now can we, birthday baby?" Madhu asked him sweetly. He grinned at her. Then suddenly he scooped down & grabbed her by her thighs & lifted her up & threw her over his shoulder making her squeal, he walked straight to their room.
He threw Madhu down on the bed. "Take your cloths off, now." He ordered her as he stood there folding his arms.
She shoot her eye brow up, surprised by his rough tone, as she lied on the bed all sexy rumpled hair & disheveled cloths.
"Stripe for me." He ordered her again.
"I will stripe for you but only if you stripe for me."
"Its my birthday baby... So you should please me."
"No! You will do what I do." She said & took off her shirt.
"Okay, baby." He smirked at her & undoes his cufflinks to slip off the shirt which she had already undone.
Then she knelt up & unzipped her pencil fit jeans.
"Stop!" Rk said & he walked towards her & pushed her back on the bed. She looked at him curiously & then smiled when he removed her stilettos. "It will get really tricky if you remove your jeans with ur shoes on." He said. "Okay now proceed" he stepped back. While she struggled with her jeans he quickly kicked off his shoes, pants, boxers & socks in one swift action.
"I win!" He grinned at her & jumped on the bed.
"We didnt had any contest."
"We had. Striping contest. I showed off my body first to you so I win."
"Okay! So what you want, my dear sexy devil?" She asked him as she dig in her nails on his chest & dragged it wildly making him wince. He clutched her neck firmly & pushed her back onto the bed.
"I want the Sexy Devil's wife as my prize." He smirked. She stared at him intensely. Their eyes blazed with passion. Rk couldn't resist himself so he roughly grabbed her head with his hand & kissed her passionately.
"Love me, Rishab. Please!" She whispered suddenly getting emotional with the intensity of love she felt for him. Rk looked at her stunned. He could feel yearning in her voice. Her need to be loved by him was palpable in her eyes.
"What's it, darling." He asked her softly caressing her cheek.
"Rishab... I want you to love me..."
"I guess I am doing." He said & kissed her.
"Not this way." She gently pushed his body off her. "Sex is different from love, Rishab" she said in a whisper. He frowned at her.
"This is what I know, Madhu."
"Then learn to love, Rishab. I want you to love me... I want you to look after me... I want you to take care of me..."
"Are you pregnant?" He asked her.
"No!" She said with a curious frown.
"Are you sick?" He asked again.
"No!!!"
"Are you a child?"
"No! Dammit!"
"Then why should I do all that when you are grown enough & healthy enough to take care of yourself? Why should I pamper you like a baby?" He asked in confusion.
"Seriously, you are hopeless... Ruthless... Heartless... I just hate you." She pushed him rudely & clambered out of the bed, hastily twisting her hair in a bun & grabbed her cloths from the floor & put it on.
"Hey, where are you going?" He asked her when she was about to leave their room.
"To hell!" She shouted at him. "You coming?" She asked him angrily.
"It's my birthday." He said feigning innocence.
"So what? Its just a day like any other as far as you are concerned and all it means is that you will be one day older." She threw his words back at him & left the room.
"Madhu..." Rk gently called her. She was standing in the terrace garden & gazing at the deep dark sky.
"Madhu... Look at me." He gently placed his hand on her shoulder & turned her to face him. She held her head down & sniffed.
"Hey! Are you crying?" He asked her in a painful voice as he tipped her chin up to meet her eyes.
"God! I am sorry." He groaned seeing her tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please don't cry. I can't bear seeing you cry... Please, biwi." He pleaded but she sobbed loudly.
"Madhu, please... Say something... Shout at me or hit me but just don't cry like this." He pleaded.
"I am sorry for what I said down. It's your birthday & It's so rude of me to shout at you..."
"It's okay." he hugged her tight.
"You are hurting me, Rishab." She whispered, her voice choked. He loosened his grip around her but still held her in his embrace.
"Not by hugging but by your words." She clarified him.
"I know... I know... I am sorry."
"Like every girl I do have some expectations in this marriage." She said softly against his chest.
"What are they?" He asked dumbly.
She shook her head in disbelief. He cant still find out her needs when she just had literally spelled it out. She wanted to be loved by him!!
"I want my husband to be possessive for me... If I ask can I wear a bikini in beach 'he should say over my dead body'..."
He laughed at her & stopped when she glared at him murderously.
"If I get little close with my ex-boyfriend then he should feel jealous but not let her go & dance with him..."
He scratched the side of his head grinning.
"I don't want my husband to flaunt with other girls in front of me because I will combust & burn down the place..."
He chuckled at her.
"If I get late to return home then he should wait for me & have dinner with me. I know he is grown enough to bear the hunger for a while till his wife joins him."
He folded his arms & coolly adored her with a loving smile.
"If I am near him or if I am talking to him he should pay attention to me... Not to the damned cricket match..." She stopped & looked at him for him to say something.
"Go on!" He encouraged her to finish her complain list.
"If I sleep empty stomach then he should coax me to eat or just force feed me... No he shouldnt let me go empty stomach to bed on the first place..."
"Then?" He asked pressing his lips to control the bubble of laugh.
"If I say I wanna stay with my parents he should try to stop me saying he cant stay without me not even for a day... In case I go then he should call me & tell me how much he misses me & urge me come home soon..."
"Hmm... Then?"
"If I say I am here to celebrate his birthday then he should f**king celebrate with me..."
"I guess I was starting to celebrate my first birthday after marriage with my wife but she left me alone on bed & came here..." He voiced for the first time after hearing her long list of complaints. She glared at him.
"Okay, continue."
"Your wife need not be compulsorily pregnant or sick to be pampered. You can still do as her husband."
"Oh! Then what I will do when she is actually pregant or sick?"
"You have to over pamper her & suck in all her tantrums & mood swings."
"Oh, I see. Then?"
"Above all I want him to propose me... Old fashioned proposal!"
"What's that?"
"Bending down on knees & propose in a filmy way & present me a ring. If not ring atleast a red rose will do."
"Why should I do that when you are already mine. Don't forget we are married & we did a lot more than a silly proposal, biwi." He winked at her.
"Oh God! You & your big mouth. I hate you!"
"If you love me too much then you will find flaws in me... If I didnt change for you then you will start hating me... See, for now itself you have said 'I hate you' twice..."
"No, Rishab. I didnt mean it. Its just a word. A meaningless word." She can never hate him. Ever. She loved him more than her life.
"That's what I am saying Madhu. 'Love' is also a meaningless word. Don't love me or anyone too much... Because love is pain."
"Rishab, you are not a love failure right?"
"Nope! I never loved anyone then how I will fail in it? But you loved someone truly & felt so hurt when your love failed right? Then why do the mistake again?"
"Rishab, that doesnt mean my love with fail forever... everyone loves... Even your parents love each other in their own way."
"Then this is my way, Madhu. I guess you are a dreamer but I am living in reality."
"Rishab... Its just I want you to be little expressive. I want to hear you say you love me at least once a day... It gives me a reassurance that you are still mine."
"That means you still don't trust me. I don't need any reassurance, Madhu... If you say its all over between you & Christian then I believe you. You told everything openly about your past & then you didn't even like to take his name in the privacy of our room when we were in our own bliss... that's the moment I started trusting you, Madhu... If I let you dance with him then I see him only as your friend not as your ex-lover. My instincts are always right in judging people, Madhu... Just by seeing Chris at our place for the first time, I knew he was a nice guy because you chose to love him." Rk reasoned in a gently tone. Now it was her turn to gap at him.
"You want me to be possessive & feel jealous for you but you never gave me a chance. You are not a flirt like me." He chuckled. "And that bikini issue... Well, I knew a respectful doctor like you will never wear a bikini ever... Not even in beach."
"Such a confidence huh?" She raised her brow.
"Yeah, I do. But still just because I am your lawfully wedded husband I cant dictate you what you do, what you wear, how to talk, where to go & all... You are an independent woman, Madhu... You have all the right to do all the righteous things, Madhu."
Madhu eyes started brimming with fresh tears hearing him say all that.
"You have your own life & identity. Your identity is your name 'Madhubala' not your surname 'Rishab kundra'... But this Rishab Kundra will always stand by your side & protect you when the need arises." He said with sincerity. Yes, he protected her & saved her from a creep when she got drunk at the bar. He look after her & pampered her like a baby when she was comatose.
"About my flirting... I like some fun & entertainment in my life, Madhu... You might think I am dull & boring but I don't feel so... But I do remember I have a wife back at home who implicitly believes me & loves me like crazy..." She blushed hearing that.
"See, I am not as bad as you think. You gave me you heart, soul & body... An exquisite body then why should I go behind another girl? I am yours, Madhu... Forever & more so don't feel insecure of losing me." He told her but she didnt know what to reply back so she just remained silent.
"If you ask me to give you company then I would just have my second dinner with you but I can never stay hungry. I have a huge appetite & I keep munching something all the time."
"I know that." She whispered as her cheek started heating up. He indeed had a huge appetite not only for food but also for... Her!
He smirked & continued "I coaxed you to eat your dinner the other day." He reminded her.
"But that's not because I was going to sleep empty stomach but you dont want the food to go waste."
"Is there a difference?" He asked with a frown.
"Yes, there is."
"Okay. But then you didnt go empty stomach... you had an apple that night right?" He asked her.
"How do you know that?"
"I was awake when you stealthily went to our kitchen & came back to our room with an apple & ate it under our duvet." He said grinning. She bit her lips in embarrassment for getting caught.
"Dont feel bad, Madhu. Its your home & you can eat anything at any time."
"Hmm... What else were your expectations & complaints?" He asked her as he tried to recollect her words.
"And haan... I do miss you when you stayed a night with your parents... Our bed was so big & empty without you. I was just twisting & tossing on our bed wishing I could have you back in my arms & get a fix of your heavenly scent... But I know your parents miss you too... After all they raised you for nearly 23 years & suddenly they get you married to me... So I didnt wanted to nag you to come home soon... I wanted you to take a break as I know I really worn you out with my shenanigans. So I was actually happy for you to spend time with your parents." He sighed. "Then you came back the very next day, literally shocking me... I was so stunned & surprised when you said you came to celebrate my birthday. Even my parents didnt bother to return from Pune to celebrate my birthday, they just sent me a wish this morning... But you came running to me... The smile you had on your face when you welcomed me in... My heart stopped a beat you know. Then your gift..." He said & looked at the bracelet wrapped around his wrist, then he took his wrist closer to his mouth & kissed the word 'Love'
"You are right, Madhu... I am not expressive like you... I don't know to express my love... I just know to worship you with my body... You trusted me & you gave yourself to me the very first night we got married. That's what I call as trust, Madhu... The intimacy we share is so pure. I might call it as sex because it is what it is, right?" He asked her. She nodded her head atomatically. "Yes, I prefer sex... Only with you... Because it connects me to you. Its stronger than the word you often say 'Love'..." She shoot her eye brow up. "... No offense! Its just my opinion." He raised his hands up in defense.
"Well, rest assured, I will over pamper you when you are pregnant with my child because that way I can be part of the pregnancy. If you fall sick... I hope u stay hale & hearty forever... But still if you fall sick then I will support you to recover soon... But don't expect me pamper you all the time... I have better things to do." He grinned at her sheepishly. She pouted hearing that.
"You said you are not expressive but you expressed your true feeling to me?" She asked him in wonder.
"Yeah, I am forced to express myself with my big mouth or else my wife will surely kill me. You know she is one jungli billi." He said acting scared. She hits his arm playfully & hugged him. "I am sorry Rishab."
"Why?"
"For not understanding you... I behaved like a bitch...I am a total fool."
"That you are. A fool!" He said in a teasing tone & earned another smack on his arm from her.
"You say you don't love me then what's all this?" She asked him holding her hands on her hips.
"I never said I don't love you. I just said I don't believe in that word. If today I say 'I love you' then tomorrow I can easily say 'I hate you'... Which I don't want, Madhu..." Rk said softly. Madhu gapped at him, her eyes stung with tears, now understanding him truly. "But still if you want a filmy style old fashioned love proposal then I will propose you... Only for you... To make you happy...though I don't find what's the need for it." He shrugged & took out his mobile phone & dialled a number.
"Hello, dad, its me, Rishab"
"What's it, Rishu? Why are you calling this late? Is Madhu okay?" Mohan asked in a worried tone.
"Yes, she is fine. We are fine. Sorry, I know its late... But I need your permission."
"Permission? For what?" He asked.
"I want to pluck one red rose from your garden. Can I?"
"Oh! Wait! I will ask you mother. Or I will just give the phone to her. You ask her permission because I grow that garden for your mom just because she love roses." Mohan said & passed the phone to his wife, Radha.
"Yeah, Rishu... Tell me?" A sleepy Radha asked him.
"Mom, can I pluck one red rose from your garden for my wife?"
"Of course you can. Is there a need to ask? Stupid!" She scolded him & cut the call.
Then Rk put his phone back in his pocket & plucked a red rose & knelt down in front of Madhu & called her gently "Madhu..." Hearing him call her she snapped out of her reverie & looked down at him, bending down on his knee holding a rose.
"Madhu... I..."
"No, Rishab" Madhu slumped down in front of him & cupped his mouth with her palm. "No, please don't propose me. Don't say 'I love you' to me...Ever! Because I know you do."
"But still..."
"No, please. I don't want to insult your way of love. I know you love me, you trust me & you care for me... & that's enough. More than enough."
"You wanted a filmy style proposal."
"Yeah... But not anymore. I don't want to be a dreamer anymore. I like to livr in reality with you... I like the real in you. I like the uniqueness in you. You are you... So cool... So funny... So open & honest... So full of life... 'All of me loves all of you', Rishab! I don't know what good deed I did in my previous birth to get you in my life..." She said with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Still so much of filmy dialogues from you, biwi... Nothing can change you... But I don't want you to change. I like the way you are." He said. "And please don't cry ever in your life." He said. She nodded her head in yes. And he with the rose in his hand wiped off her tears & then placed it on the side of her bun like hair. She laughed & launched herself on him knocking him off balance & she too fell on top of him.
"Kiss me!" She ordered him.
"You are a bossy little thing, aren't you?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Yes. I am. What are you going to do about that?" She asked.
"Just going to enjoy your bossiness." He said coolly. She laughed. He will never change his cool attitude. Then she leaned forward & slowly nibbled his lower lips while he nibbled her upper lips, then she slowly parted her mouth a bit so that he could inject his tongue in her mouth & do tango with their tongues.
"You. Are. So. Sweet." He breathed. "Come lets go down to our room & finish what we have started a while back." He said with a sexy grin.
"God! I love you so much." She moaned & hugged him tightly.
"So do I" he whispered near her ear. Though he didnt use the word 'love' he agreed he loved her & that made her heart swell with ecstatic joy & happiness.
"Come!" He tried to lift her off his body but she protested.
"What?"
"I want us to do it here... In the open terrace... Lets pluck some more roses & put the rose petals on the floor & make a flower bed & on it we will make love.. What say? That will be so dreamy & romantic nah?" She asked him giving him a dreamy look.
"My parents will get heart attack if they find out about your flower bed idea." He said with a chuckle.
"Oh! Then 'sex on rose petals' idea cancel." She said coolly. Now, She had started taking things so coolly like her husband.
"Good!"
"Now shut up & make love to me, my dear 'Sexy Devil'..." She said huskily & without a word he sealed her mouth with his as they started kissing wildly & they made passionate love all night.
