Part #22
Next day
Madhu was sleeping on floor resting her head on the bed. She heard knocking on the door she waked up and opened the door to RK.
RK shocked seeing her still in her bridal attire. Her makeup all messed up from crying. Her hair is messy. Her eyes red. She was messy
"Get ready soon Mama ji is coming" RK
"OK" Madhu with almost no voice at all from crying for three days in row now
"Please don't tell her anything or make her feel anything from what happened between us" RK
"OK" Madhu then she left to washroom to get ready
After few minutes, the Maliks arrived and RK welcomed them with smile. Then he went to bring his wife
"Are you ready?" RK
"Yes" Madhu
They started moving then he noticed she is so dizzy she can't walk alone. He approached her and went beside her warping his arm around her waist to support her. He felt her body stiffed under his touch and she is feeling uncomfortable from his closeness
"Relax I just support you or you will fall down. I don't want to touch you ever" RK
"It is ok" Madhu
"You should eat your dinner last night" RK
"You didn't eat anything for two days either" Madhu
RK looked at her confused from her answer and said nothing. Until they reached downstairs to the hall her family waiting for them
"Madhu my lovely daughter. I missed you so much in those two days" Padmini hugging Madhu
"I missed you all mom" Madhu crying in Padmini arms
"What is it Madhu? You look so tired. Are you ok?" Padmini
"Don't worry mom. You daughter didn't eat anything. She refuse to eat. So please feed her well" RK
"Why Madhu? Is everything all right? Aren't you happy?" Padmini worry
"It is ok mom don't worry. It is just new house nothing more. I will eat now" Madhu
"Didn't you miss your daddy" Malik
"Sure papa I missed you all" Madhu hugging her father then her brother and sister
RK went to kitchen and he prepared juice for everyone
He gave juice to everyone including his wife
"Drink it you will be better" RK
She toke the juice and said nothing just gave him thank you look
"Wah Madhu your husband is making juice and you are sitting here. It can't be" Padmini laughing
"See mom you daughter make me do all the work alone. And last night I prepared dinner" RK teasing Madhu
"It can't be Madhu. Go and prepare breakfast for us all. You must make your husband taste your tasty food" Malik
"No please Papa ji. I'm very hungry and I don't know if can eat from her food or not. So please spare us from that torture" RK then they all laughed
"Mom I missed eating from your food will you please make breakfast for us" RK
"Ok Rishabh. I will make breakfast but Madhu will make lunch. Is that ok with you" Padmini
"Sure mom the most important for me that I will eat from your food today. Then I can handle anything else. No matter how bad it will taste" RK
"Ok you will see at lunch how good Madhu's food is" Padmini
Then she left to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them all. RK went to help her and show her everything's place
"How are you with Madhu?" Padmini
"Everything is ok mom" RK
"Are you happy with her?" Padmini
"I got what I dreamed of mom" RK faking smile
"Madhu is young and naive. Be patient with her Rishabh. She is good and kind. Day by day, she will get use to you and her new life. If she hurt you, anyway I'm sure she doesn't mean to. So please be with her support her and never ever leave her"Padmini
"Don't worry mom. I promise you I will take care of her. I will never leave her. I will be there whenever she needs me" RK
"Come breakfast is ready" Padmini and they went out of the kitchen and they all started to eat together. They all were chatting laughing and the two little devils were fighting as usual. If you look at them you will say they all one big happy family. You can't say whose family is it. Is it RK's family or Madhu's family? He is chatting and laughing as if he knows them for years. And he was playing with Aryan and toke him to his private gym to show him his workout equipment. Madhu was silent all the time she didn't say anything. She just watching them and keep quiet. At noon, Padmini asked Madhu to follow her to kitchen so they prepare lunch
"What is it Madhu? Aren't you happy with Rishabh?" Padmini
"Why are you asking this question ma?" Madhu
"I see quite all the day and Rishabh said you didn't eat. What is wrong? Isn't he taking care of you?" Padmini
"No mom he is taking care of me" Madhu
"So what is it? Why are you not happy?" Padmini
"I just didn't use to the new life. New house. You know" mom Madhu
"Rishabh is very kind person. Give him time and you will love him. I'm sure of that" Padmini
"Yes mom. But I noticed that he is close to all of you. In that short time he got close even to Aryan and Trish?" Madhu
"Rishabh is visiting us for two months now. Most of the days he would take his breakfast with us" Padmini
"What? Two months? And I didn't know all this time" Madhu amazed for what she heard
"He asked us not to tell you anything. He wanted you to focus on your studies. He cares for you a lot Madhu" Padmini
"Do you love him Mam?" Madhu
"I gave him my daughter how I can't love him" Padmini
"He is really a good man I wished if I can love him" Madhu
"You will Madhu I'm sure of it. Give him time. But please Madhu don't hurt him" Padmini
"I already did" Madhu in low tone
"What?" Padmini
"Nothing mom" Madhu
"Do you know? He called me yesterday and invited us all to visit you" Padmini
"Really I was wondering cause I supposed to visit you not the opposite" Madhu
"Yes he asked me to welcome you in the house as your mother in-law. So now, I'm not only your mother. I'm your mother in-law too. If you hurt my son I will punish you" Padmini laughing
"Good and we can make Saas Bahu show like Somya and Preeto" Madhu
They both laughed and finished cooking
The day ended by them all laugh and chat together then RK toke Maliks in his care to their house and back home he found that Madhu cleaned up the house after her family left. He went to his bedroom and toke a bag and started to pack his cloths in it. Madhu followed him to their room and asked him.
"What are you doing?" Madhu
"Taking my cloths to the other room" RK
"Why?" Madhu
"You don't expect us to stay in the same room and it is easier to have my cloths in my room" RK
"But this is your room" Madhu
"No it is yours since you entered it. And I will not stay here" RK
"But Rishabh..." Madhu. RK stopped packing and turn to face her with anger shouting at her
"Don't say that" RK
"Say what?" Madhu confused from his sudden anger
"Don't call me that name" RK
"But you asked me to call you with your name" Madhu
"I don't like it anymore" RK
"But mom was calling you Rishabh all the day" Madhu with I'm innocent look
"I don't like it from you. Is that clear now?" RK
"I'm sorry I will not say it again" Madhu
Then he continued his packing and told her without facing her
"I will back to work tomorrow" RK
"But your week off doesn't end yet" Madhu
"What is the use to have week off. So I'll back to work tomorrow" RK
"Ok" Madhu
"I told the servants to back tomorrow. If you needed anything, you ask them. I will be out most of the day. If you need me you have my number" RK
Madhu nodded with her head without saying a word. While he finished his packing and went with his bags to the other room to sleep there.
