Part 36
RK turned his phone to the flight mode when suddenly he heard Madhu chanting something
"Hoslon se veer hun, sankaton mein dheer hun, dushmano ki peer hun, apni ma ke sahare bas yuhi balveer hun..." She kept on repeating these lines while RK looked at her with a question mark on his face.
Madhu looked at him with the corner of her eye "What?" She asked with a shaking voice
"Are you Ok?" RK asked seeing her in panic state
"No I am not...How can i be okay...i have never travelled in a plane and this is my second time only because of you" Madhu replied vigorously
"Exactly Madhu...you are travelling for the second time...then what's the problem now"
"That time i only kept thinking about you...but now...what am i gonna do now?" Madhu said with a crying face
RK thought for sometime how to pacify her
"Oh God...the plane is going to take off...i am going to faint...i can't feel my legs" Madhu said as her fear upturned
"Madhu...relax relax...shhh nothing is going to happen" RK kept his hand on hers and tried to calm her down.
"Look at me Madhu...I will never let you go anywhere ok...and we still have to start our new life together...where there will be only and only love (He paused in between)no...not only love...we will fight too because my day is incomplete without seeing my junglee billi...so how can i let anything happen to you...you are safe till I am with you...Understood"
Madhu was pleased with what all he said...she looked deep into his eyes and smiled
"Now look outside" Rk said to Madhu
Madhu then looked out and she was surprised to see that the plane had already taken off and they were fyling.
"Did anything happen?"
Madhu chuckled and looked at him and said "Thanks"
And Rk gave a smile in return
"RK...shall ask you one thing?" Madhu said
"Yes"
"What all you said was only to compose me or...??" Before she could say further he replied "yes ofcourse you were acting like a neurotic person...what else could i do...that was only to calm you down"
All the smile on Madhu's face vanished after listening to this..she shook her head and looked towards the otherside. RK looked at her for few seconds and smiled. he was very much aware that she was upset but he didn't say anything further. He turned on the music and wore his headphones, rested his back against the seat and closed his eyes.
***************
"Finally Rishu and Madhu are coming back...now I just want their happiness nothing else" Radha prayed to God with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry aunty now no one can seperate them" Malvika assured Radha while looking towards Deepali
Deepali gulped down her anger as she had nothing to say in return.
"Malvika...they left from the airport an hour before why haven't they arrived yet" Radha asked her in curiosity
"Ma" a voice came from behind
Everyone including deepali and sikky looked towards the door
"Look they have come" Malvika said to Radha seeing Madhu and Bittuji standing there
Radha quickly went towards her and hugged her tightly. After a long lovey-dovey hug she realised that her son isn't there so she asked Madhu "Madhu where is Rishu?"
Madhu wiped her tears and said "Ma i have brought something for you"
Radha was surprised yet confused. She then looked at the door again and found someone standing there. No it was not RK but Rishu her son...whom she had lost years back but now he was standing in front of her with tearful eyes but those tears were filled with love for his mother.
"Ma" He said with a shaking voice.
Radha was standing there mute. The word which she was dying to here from him was said by him that too with the same love and affection with which he used to say in childhood. she couldn't believe that he actually called her Ma. Deepali and sikky looked at eachother in shock. RK came forward and hugged Radha and again he said "Ma". Radha finally realised that he was her Rishu hugging him and broke into tears and hugged her son tightly as if she wanted the time to stop this very moment. The tears which were rolling down her cheeks clearly showed how much she must have writhed for his son.
"Ma I..."
"Shhh shhh...no beta...don't say anything...i have got you back...nothing esle i want" Radha made him quiet as she wanted to live this moment to the fullest.
*************
Everyone was sitting in the living room as RK wanted to make an announcement
"So after all the fights and with the flamboyance we fight...Madhu and I have decided that we are perfect for eachother and we want to get married again with all the pomps and rituals...that too in a week" RK declaired
Radha ji, Malvika and Bittuji were happy as what they wanted was finally happening whereas Deepali was clentching her jaw seeing all this. Obviously for her all this was just a nonsense.
"This is the best day of my life Rishu...I got my son back and my daughter too" Radha ji hugged both Madhu and RK. And suddenly RK held Madhu's hand from the back. No doubt he was loving teasing madhu like this but she pulled back her hand as she was still angry with him.
