"Where is Ma?" she asked settling near Rishab after searching for whole apartment.
"In your maternal house!"
"Ahaan?"
"I told her to stay there!"
"Ohh! But dinner?"
"I made it!"
"What?" the biggest shock of the day for Madhu.
"Why are you overreacting as if I have brought Mars to Earth?"
"When? How? Why?"
- Since when he started to cook?
For my 10th birthday when I asked him to cook, he said it's only girls' work. And now?
I'm sure he has added something in it to do black magic. -
He replied smilingly at her:
"I was alone for last few years! I learned cooking!"
"But you hate it!"
"Come let's go. I'm hungry!" without giving her an answer.
- I can see truth in his eyes and voice.
Will first test them then I will eat! -
After tasting all dishes that he made, she said:
"Not bad!"
He flashed his charismatic smile.
After cleaning the kitchen, they settled in their bed on both extremes.
"Madhu! Come here!"
"No need!"
- I'm a big girl.
I can sleep alone. -
He knew that he doesn't need to say anything more so he switched off the light.
In less than 2 minutes, he felt her soft hair over his arm and her left hand over his waist.
"What will you ask tomorrow if you win?" she demanded.
"You will know it tomorrow."
"I'm sorry!"
"For what?"
"Because of me"
"Nothing happened!" he cut her in-between.
"I' m sorry!"
"Instead of that you can say something else you know." he said caressing her cheek with his thumb.
"Wha...What?"
"Like I Love You or your usual I hate you!"
- I know that for him my 'I Hate You' sounds like 'I Love You'.
What to do?
He knows me that much! -
She punched him a little in his stomach.
"Ouch! Jugli Bili! Don't show your power on me."
"Someone said before wedding that he is not scared of anything. And I will die in his hand every day!"
"I will be pleased to kill you every day if you are ready!"
"How?"
"You didn't grow up?" he said for her question.
"Idiot! See I have grown-up. Only few centimetres difference!" she said sitting near him from her previous position.
- I'm not at his height but what's the problem in it? -
He pulled her towards him and she landed over his body with the force she was pulled.
Their eyes locked.
"Ri...Rishu!"
"Hmmm!"
- I'm stressed.
What is going to happen now?
My heart is screaming. -
Her breath started to shorten when he made her face approach his by holding her head back.
"Baby!"
"Hmmm!"
"You see me?"
She nodded her head a little and there their lips brushed and Rishab immediately took hold of her lower lips and started to suck and nibble it, extracting all juices from them before moving to the upper one.
Madhu moaned "Rishab!" which made him want more but he stopped in his track as he knew she is tired and need sleep.
So they kissed until they were breathless and drifted into deep slumber in each other's embrace without uttering a single word.
Next day morning, Tejaswini came earlier to find Rishab cooking breakfast and she smiled to herself and went to her room without making any sound.
He woke his wife up with a dirty chaste kiss before she went to get ready for the day.
- His kisses are making me go crazy.
Can't he stop doing that?
I know that I came close to him, that shouldn't be the reason for his behaviour. Always torturing my little roses.
Luckily he is not eating them,. He started to kiss without hurting.
Hey wait!
That means he has kissed or learned to kiss.
How? When? With whom?
No way!
I should ask him!
I will kill that bitch! -
Then they had breakfast without the knowledge that they are observed by two emotional eyes.
From there on, Rishab took Madhu with him to his office to let her be in safety before going to the final hearing of the case with his assistants.
Two hours passed since Rishab left from there.
She started to roam inside the firm, making everyone friends in her passage and she came to know a lot of unknown facts about him which happened since he became SR.
Madhu came back to his cabin and sat on his place and turned facing the window, imitating Rishab in the empty room.
Rishab who just now came to the building, went directly towards his cabin and found the door slightly open.
When he got near the door, he heard:
"I want Miss. Kahna to check the case history and you, Mr. Vhiswanath, you have to make clear notes of all the witness in this case."
2 seconds later "Now you may gooo!" trailing the last word as saying the last line, Madhu rotated the chair facing the entrance where she found Rishab leaning on the closed door with his hands tied around his chest with an angry look.
- Oh God! Please help!
I don't know how will he react!
I was just passing time.
Please! Please! Help me this one time!
I will do 10 rounds around you every day. -
She immediately got up from the chair and came to the side saying:
"I... I was get... getting bored."
"I can see that!" said Rishab with a serious face, nearing Madhu.
Wanting to escape from this situation, she worked out her brain with a unique question:
"What was the judgement?"
"You should have watched NEWS!"
"You know that I hate it!"
"So you want to know the result!" stating this he approached her and she started to back off seeing the distance to reduce.
"You want the result of the judgement or the result of our challenge?" asked Rishab with just a arm distance between them as Madhu hit the large window panel behind her.
"I... Youu.."
"What Baby?"
"Not ag" he blocked her with his hands on both sides of her and his breath fanning her face.
- I'm blocked.
What is he going to ask me?
Something is fishy! -
"I won!"
"So?" in a whisper.
"I want you"
"What?" interrupting him.
"Let me finish baby!"
She nodded and he continued: "I want you to tear or put fire to divorce papers and the contract. I let you decide how but you should do it today itself."
"But"
"Sshhuu" placing his index finger over her lips.
- It feels nice to have his finger over my lips!
Bloody idiot!
Think about what he is asking.
Talk about what you wanted to talk before he came in. -
Rishab captured her eyes and locked with his and said:
"We need to talk! Come let's go home."
He took her with him after instructing his staffs and left from there.
As driver was there, Madhu didn't dare to say a word now.
When they entered their apartment, Rishab turned to close the door when he found a post-it near the lock.
"Hi Children!
We are all going to Mumbai for 1 week!
So enjoy!
- BB" was all that was in the note.
"Your BB has left a message for you!" said Rishab.
"For me?" saying this, she took the note from him.
- But when did BB came and why didn't he call me?
Lucky me! I have time to talk to him alone.
We are going to be alone.
No! No! If he again starts playing with my roses.
I will have to by tons of balms to soften my roses. -
After seeing ocean of expression over Madhu, Rishab intervened:
"What do you want to do for the coming time?
I'm tired with this case and you have two weeks leave to prepare exams.
I know that you don't like to prepare exams in advance. What do you think about going for Honeymoon?" coming close to her by pulling her by holding her waist as her hands landed on his chest.
"Honeymoon?" in shock!
- Why this sudden wish?
He is planning something big Sweety. Be aware! -
"Why not? We will go to Australia. We will fulfil all your wishes there and we will work on your first demand when you were 6."
"I'm not coming with you. By the way what was that demand?" trying to distance herself from him but all effort went in to drain.
- How come he remember my wishes? -
"You will yourself come.
And the demand was" running his index finger over her lips making her tremble, he continued "Buy a baby for my Baby!"
"What?" her jaw dropped down on floor.
- Baby! Me! Asked him!
When? I don't remember anything!
Is he playing with me?
No way! I'm going to be with him in this house.
Already he is kissing me whenever I'm close to him.
I trust him.
But!
What if -
With his finger, he made her close her mouth and said:
"Come let's go and destroy those papers by the way you choose."
"But"
"I will tell you everything. Come Honey!"
He took hold of her hand and brought her to their room.
He made her sit in the couch and brought a file from his cupboard along with her bag.
He took out both all the papers and held them strongly in his hand.
He made himself comfortable besides Madhu and faced her.
"Before giving this papers, I want to say few things."
She palmed his mouth and said "I will talk first."
She waited until he nodded and left his mouth.
Bending her head, a little, she started:
"Mrs. Bharadwaj came to your office.
I know that she was the mother of the victim against whom you fought a case last year. She said she was grateful to you as you helped them financially and dealt with the culprit behind his back. I always thought you are against truth but I was wrong.
You take care of the case in a way that the culprits get punished without his knowledge and then you help the victims.
I'm sorry. I doubted your actions.
I always thought wrong about SR."
- He was doing right! I mistook him all these years. -
She had tears in her eyes, so he left the bundles over the table and brought his hand to push them away but she swats his hand as she continued:
"But I will never forgive for whatever happened before."
He smiled and hold her face in both his hands against her effort of pushing them away while saying:
"Now it's my turn. You keep quiet."
- I want to know what he wants to say.
I want to hear those lovely words he used to say me when I wasn't able to understand anything. He used to do things that I couldn't understand at that age.
It was all his fault too as he never said this is that, that is this.
But now he is doing things but no words, so let's see if he says something. -
She nodded and he proceeded:
"It's not your fault to take me wrong as SR is arrogant and rude to this world. So no need to say sorry.
Should I say lucky me for you getting to know the truth?" he raises his brows and she smiled.
"I never forgot you.
I never forget you.
I will never do that until my last breath.
Baby, I love you!
I love you with my mind, my soul and my heart which is not with me since long time.
I never thought about any girls as press said in last few years.
Not only in this life but in my every birth, there was, there is and there will be only one girl and it is you Madhu.
We have 5 years of age difference.
When we were in school I knew how men mind work so that's why I wanted to protect you and have you always under my surveillance.
You are the most precious magic that happened in my life.
I never thought that Mom and Dad decided you as my bride.
I came to know about it at the same time as you and I knew you will be angry, so I played along with you without letting you hurt my male ego.
You hurt it once by breaking my heart and I don't want the history to repeat.
You are mine and only mine.
I know that you know it.
I was away from you but never apart from you.
Through our parents, through social medias, through whatever way possible, I was close to you until the day I stepped in Delhi.
I could have practiced in Mumbai but I wanted to be close to you.
That day at the party, you came there without my knowledge. There I decided to speak to you but before that our parents spoke their heart out.
I'm thankful to them for bringing you back to my life.
You always ask me if I can be scared at least once!
Yes, I was scared to death when I knew you are kidnapped. I didn't want to lose you even to that God.
Even if you are not with me after that, I wanted you safe and sound.
But the moment you came and hugged me, I wanted never to let you go away from me, but I can't force you.
Then and there I decided that after winning the case, I will let you choose your path after telling you all I said which was in my mind.
So before letting you decide, I want to speak my heart out.
I want you.
I need you.
I love you.
I said it 1000 times but now it's different.
You are not the same Madhu.
I'm not the same Rishab.
But my love for you is same.
I Love You Madhu! I Love You!
I said all I have to say! Decision is yours! If you want, you can file the"
He was cut short by the sudden attack of Madhu over his lips. The first ever kiss initiated by Madhu.
It contains care.
It contains affection.
It contains love.
They broke the long passionate kiss and she hid her face in his chest embracing him.
Few seconds after, Madhu freed herself and took the bundle from the table before leaving the room.
He followed her to the kitchen like a kitten and saw her putting fire to the papers and waited until they get fully burnt.
When she turned, she found him leaned in the kitchen door frame and she smiled sheepishly to him.
With his index finger, he asked her to come near him and she obeyed as a student.
Rishab pulled her towards him by griping her hand and she landed over him to enjoy the warmth of his love in his embrace.
He went near her ear and huskily asked her:
"Today or tomorrow?" brushing his lips over her earlobe.
"To...Tomorrow!" she answered and pushed herself inside him.
- Life can't be better than this.
He is my first friend.
He is my first teacher.
He is my first love.
He is my love.
He is my husband.
He is my everything.
He is Rishab Kundra.
He is Mrs. Madhu's husband.
What else can I ask you God?
I should thank you God!
Thank you for giving me him and making me his.
I promise you that I will write a book on 'How to handle a Lawyer husband?' for poor wives and make them happy ones.
It's a promise by Mrs. CSR!
Finally I chose to keep my Mr. Right name behind mine. Isn't it cool? -
They are Friends.
They are Lovers.
They are Man & Woman.
Destiny plays games with everyone.
We are all its characters.
Rishab and Madhu are also a part of its play.
A Play by Destiny!
A Play of Destiny!
