Madhu sat on the easy chair in the Karjat farmhouse thinking about how her life had changed over the past 3 years. Gone was the innocent girl with dreams in her eyes, in her place stood Madhubala the Heroine. She hated RK for making a mess of their lives. She hated RK for letting a nobody like Dips to ruin their married life.
She still remembered how furious she had got when she had come to know the real reason why RK had rejected her love in this very farmhouse. For a man who claimed to be heartless and arrogant, he was dumb enough to believe Dips but not me or his mother. Just to prove him wrong, I had to get into this acting career. I hate doing these romantic scenes with anyone other than RK and I know he literally exploded the first time he had seen such a scene from my first movie. Serves him right.
Finally after 2.5 years, RK and me are cast in the same movie. The best part is that it is a romantic movie along the lines of "Parineeta" and being produced by Bittuji. Bittuji had informed my yesterday that the actual producer/writer of the movie was RK.
Madhu went and sat on the easy chair in the balcony. This farmhouse had so many memories, and quite a few of them were bad ones. I still remember when I had shouted at RK for the last time when he had called me here to give me the divorce papers.
"RK, ye kya hai"
"Bi'madhu divorce papers. Tum azaad ho. Dips ki tarah tum bhi ja sakti ho. Jitna chahiye utna alimony likh lena. Waise bh'"
"CHUP'bahut ho gaya. Main 2 baatein clear kar doon'aur acche se sunna kyunki agli baar aisa kuch hua to mujhse bura koi nahin hoga. Pehli baat, agar dobara humare beech kisi aur ko leke aaye to who Dips to bachegi nahin, tum bhi nahin bachoge. Samjhe??"
"Aur dusri baat, alimony mein mujhe RK chahiye. Woh to tum doge nahin to ye divorce bhi nahin hoga. Aur jab tak tum iss baat ki maafi nahin mango ge main ghar nahin aaungi.Tab tak tumhari property, paisa etc and TUM par bhi mera hi hakh hai. Tumne aaj mujhe bahut hurt kiya hai aur jab tak khud maafi nahin maangoge main ghar nahin aaungi"
Remembering his face, I knew he was so happy that I had not signed the papers but I had to leave his house so that he could overcome his mental block against love and happiness.
And later when I had decided to become an actress, Bittuji had offered to become my secretary. I knew that RK had sent him to keep my safe from the bad people. Today, 3 years later, though not as rich or successful as RK, I had quite a good run at box office and Bittuji had ensured that my money was invested properly.
I slowly walked towards the pillar where we had kissed the one and only time. I still couldn't believe that the night had ended like that. Today again I was wearing a beautiful red Sabyasachi lehenga for karwa chauth. Like every year, I know RK will barge into the farmhouse, finish the ritual and get out. That was one thing which RK never missed. Any ritual and he would be there on time. Every year my family thought I missed all these festivals because of my failed marriage and didn't question me.
Yesterday, there had been a wedding scene in the movie. RK had looked so handsome and when he had held my hand during the phere it had felt so real. He had ensure that my family was also there as part of the scene. The mehndi was so dark that one of the new make up artist had commented that my husband would love me a lot. She had been quickly pulled out of the vanity van by Bittuji before I erupted on the poor soul.
Suddenly I felt a kiss on my shoulder. I knew it was RK.
"Chalein. Mujhe bahut bhook lag raha hai"
Madhu finished all the rituals and went towards the dining room. RK followed and sat next to her. This was a first time after the big confrontation, that RK had willingly spent time with her. Without any outward reaction, Madhu served both of them and started eating. After dinner when Madhu got up to get the dessert, she was near the door when RK called her.
"Biwi, khaana acccha bana hai"
Madhu couldn't stop that tears that came to her eyes. She had waited for so long to hear that one word. Like in a trance, she turned and walked towards RK, who was stilled seated at the table.
"Phir se kaho"
"khaana acccha hai"
"RK"
RK pulled Madhu into his lap and cupped her face in his hands.
"Biwi. Sorry. I am so sorr.."
Madhu kissed him to shut him up.
"Woh kal woh pandit real tha"
"Love you RK"
RK picked her up and took her to the bedroom. Today was the start of a beautiful chapter in their life.
