Part 3
They just finished their part of 1st question and there are 18 more questions to come.
- What is she going to ask now? -
"Are you annnd Deepali"
"We are just friends and nothing else." he said sternly cutting her question.
- I didn't expect this from her. And I don't want her to think me with any other girl. -
"Hmmm!" she hummed.
- No going further with this. -
"Now me! Where were you when we come to Malik uncle's house?"
"I... I" avoiding eyes contact.
"Only truth Madhu!"
She nodded "Sometimes in my room. Sometimes in kitchen. Sometimes innn Padmini Ma's friends' servant quarters."
"Why?"
"I have to"
"Go ahead!" interrupting her, letting her know he knew what she was going to say.
"Why are you hmmm Coming here?" bending her head.
- She has to know everything about me. She has the rights. -
"Don't bend your head! You have the rights to ask as a friend." she lifted her head "It's just a contract between me and Deepali. I needed money for my friend treatment. She is giving it to me and in exchange I'm acting as her boyfriend in our college. She asked me to stay in her apartment for the time being on week-ends."
"Ohh! But your parents?"
"Keep that for next round!" she nodded "Normally they need more people for marriage preparations. If my guess is not wrong, you were in the quarters during my brother's and Trishna's wedding. Why?"
"Pa...Paad" she coughed, so he got her a glass of water.
"Now continue!"
"Padmini Maa di... didn't want me to be there."
"Ok! How come you are doing MA in correspondence?"
"You...r time to answer." he nodded "If Sultan bhai is your brother, why are you not taking help from your parents or him?"
- Not a bad question Beauty. -
"Sultan is my cousin. He lost his parents when he was 9 and I was 7 at that time. Since then we live together. Coming to my parents, my friend got into an accident on the day of the wedding and he has no one to look after. I... I couldn't ask money to my parents for the operation as they were busy. So, I stole few jewelries that Mom kept for Trishna. Dad got angry and asked me to get out of my family for 6 months." a lone tear escaped remembering his family time.
"Oh! Sorry!" she lifted her hand but kept back in its initial place.
"No need!" he smiled before continuing "I get that Deepali didn't know about your studies. But who is helping you and why?"
"Hmmm" fidgeting with her shawl "I'm doing all my studies by correspondence since 10th with the help of Deepali's father."
"Ok! And Why?"
"My maa asked him."
"Ahaan?"
- What can it be? Why will she ask her daughter to work in some other's house? -
"Did you say sorry to your father when he got to know what you did?" getting directly to the question, bending her head.
He smiled "I know stealing is wrong but I didn't ask them to forgive me as I wasn't at fault."
"You should have. They are your parents."
"They knew that I will not say sorry. It's not new for us. I help someone and get punished. If you want, I will."
"Why?" facing him.
- For sure you will get to know Honey. -
"Wait for next round!" he said.
"Ok!"
"Tell me about your parents!"
"My Maa, Sujatha! She died due to cancer when I was in 9th." sobbing.
Rishab got up and sat next to her with his hand on her shoulder in a comforting way.
"Don't cry please. No need to continue further."
She shook her head and continued "I never said anything to anyone. I want to speak." she put her head over his shoulder "I had no one to go to. So before she left me alone, she gave me a number and asked me to contact that person. It was Deepali's father. He came to Pune and brought me to his house." calming down.
"I think it's better to stop this game here." he said.
"No No!" distancing herself from him "I wanted to know... I wanted to know why"
"Why?" he repeated.
- I know where you are going to come Honey. -
"Why you will lis...ten to me?" she stammered.
He smiled "Friends guides us! When they say something good, we should take it. That's it."
"Hmmm" a bit of disappointment crossed her eyes but he didn't get the chance to see that as he was facing the ceiling.
- You are more than that Honey. But I need to sort out few things inside myself before taking any step. -
"If you want, I will ask the next question."
She nodded.
"Who is your father?"
The expression that crossed her eyes said that she should have accepted his offer of stopping.
"Seeing you, I want to know it." he added.
"Emmm Papa... Papa iiis Deepali's father!" closing her eyes.
- How? But uncle never seemed disturbed by anything. Did Dad know about this? Did his family members know about this?
May be that's why they treat Madhu differently.
I have to get to the root. -
"What?" shock was an understatement.
"Hmmm" she nodded still with her eyes closed.
"Your Papa is Malik uncle? But Deepali threats you as... does she know?"
"Will you keep this as a secret?"
"Should I take this as a question?"
She nodded.
"Yes if I get to know who are the people who knows about your real identity?"
She shook her head negatively.
"I think my parents should know about this."
"Please no!" gathering her hands in a pleading way.
"They are relatives Madhu. Trust is something based on truth. Tell me who are the people who knows about your real identity? How Malik uncle and your mother" he stopped mid-way to complete his question.
"Papa went to Pune for one year to expand his business and there he met Maa and they fell in love with each other. Papa married Maa secretly, promising to take her with him next time he come there before leaving back to his family.
And when he came to his house, he found out that his father has fixed his marriage their business partner's daughter, Padmini Maa.
His father threatens him saying he will harm my Maa if he turns against him." tears rolling down his eyes, so Rishab passed tissue paper along with his support to her.
"Maa told all this when I was 12 and showed Papa's photo in magazine.
It's when she was in death bed, she told me they were in contact through phone, she told him about my presence only a week before her hospitalisation and she asked me to promise that I will accept him as my father and be with him."
- How much she had to suffer in her childhood?
I want to support you for the rest of your life.
Will I get a chance? -
"Shhh No need to continue!" rubbing her shoulder with sadness written all his face.
Shaking her head "When I came here Padmini Maa, Trishna di and Deepali had only hatred for me. Sometimes they say that 'They didn't get the love of a father or a husband due to Maa'."
"Please Baby! Please don't cry." seeing her sob.
"I'm okay!" with last few sobs, pushing away her tears.
- I have to think quickly.
I don't have a lot of time left for me, for us.
I have to. -
DING DONG!
"I will get the door."
Saying so, he left her free and went to open the door to find a pizza boy.
He paid him for pizza and turned back to find Madhu setting the table.
He smiled to himself and walked towards her.
- She is a unique piece in this world.
Minutes before she was sobbing and now smiling.
You are stronger than what you think of yourself Honey. -
"You have to eat with your friend here." he announced.
"But" she was cut off.
"No! It's a friend's order!"
"Does friends order?"
"No but I do!"
She shook her head smiling at him and take the seat opposite to him.
- I will do anything to keep your smile on your face. -
Once the dinner finished, Rishab didn't let Madhu touch the vessels.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Hmmm" she nodded.
"Does anyone know that Malik uncle is helping you to study? That you are doing MA now?" turning his head from the dishes.
She pointed her index finger towards him and said "Only you!"
Once they finished everything, it was only 9 and Rishab is not someone who sleeps quickly. By now they are seated in 2 different couches.
"What do you do alone in your room?" he started the discussion.
"Studying!"
"What else?"
"Drawing!"
"Can I see it?"
"Hmmm" she nodded and went to her room to bring a big sketch book.
- She is not reserved. It's just there wasn't anyone to talk to her, I think. -
He smiled at her taking the book and went through it. With each drawing his expression changed and she observed.
Sometimes, it's just a simple smile, a big one, sad, grinning...
- One of the best of art I have ever seen.
She is really talented. If only someone can guide her.
Why someone? When I'm there. -
"WOW! Great! Never thought I will get to see all these types of sketches and drawings. Have you ever tried painting?" smiling at her.
"Before coming to Papa's house." sadness passed through her eyes and he remarked it.
"Do you want to try it now?"
"No! I'm happy with what I have." smiling.
- You are so cute. -
"I like your smile."
"Ahaan?" smile disappeared.
"No nothing like you think. I'm just saying it." he reassured her and the smile came back.
- She has to be in the acting field. -
"Why don't we do something?" handing her book to her and getting up.
"Like?" with a questioning look when she went to her room to put her book.
"Will you watch an English film?" taking his laptop from his bag.
"Hmmm" nodding her head when she was back in the hall.
- I can see she is hesitant but why? -
"Are you sure?" he asked while connecting his laptop to the TV and asking her to sit with his free hand.
"Haaan!" she took a seat.
"So I'm putting a new film I got 2 weeks before from a friend. He said it's a must watch especially a shocking scene. I didn't get time to watch so you are going to watch it with me." playing the film.
"Huuun"
"I think I will not talk to you further. You are just humming and not replying." he complained and took a place in the one seater on the left side as she was on the two seater couch just opposite to the TV where he asked her to sit.
"It... it's been 10 years I last saw a movie, so tha... that's what I was thinking. And Maa" tears started to flow remembering her mother.
He went near her and side hugged her while taking a tissue paper from the tea table and pushed them away.
- Bloody idiot! Why am I making her remember her mother and making her sad? Idiot! -
"She will be sad seeing you like this. So smile and enjoy the film Madhu." he said smilingly.
"Hmmm" calming her sobs, she broke the hug and moved a little away from him and he did the same.
And now, there is a place for a 10 years' child between them.
- Not a bad idea to watch a movie. It would have been nice if I knew what was that special moment. -
The film is running for more than 45 minutes and she is near him, a little bit frightened due to the action and terror scenes.
He asked her if she isn't interested on this film, they can switch to some other film but she didn't want to break his entertainment.
He took hold of her hand which was on the couch to make her feel he is here for her.
The scene in the film shifted into a romantic atmosphere where the heroine closed-in to hero.
She immediately closed her eyes tightly and held his hand more tightly before making him to turn to see her due to her hold on his hand.
- The angelic face pulls me towards her.
She accepted me as her friend and I should respect her.
I should. OMG! I should turn my head and concentrate on something. -
He turned other only to caught the main leads kissing in an extremely hot position.
- This is not going to happen.
This is Aggrrhhh. -
He turned to other side to find her cheeks taking colour.
He brought his other hand to her cheek and caressed it. With this, she opens her eyes to lock them with Rishab's.
He looked at her with the love he wanted to show her with words and actions.
She looked at him with the emotion, she couldn't figure out.
- No I can't but I Ufff. -
He started to near her and she did the same following his action. And in background the sound of soft music accompanied with smooching sound played.
They were so close to each other that their heart sounded like participating in a marathon, their breath mingled and their lips just a mere inch apart.
They got more close and their lips touched.
BOUM !
