Chapter 46
Mrs Jain came to tell that Rishabh was here and even before she could complete her sentence Rishabh was on their door and entered in without the courtesy of knocking.
Madhu was dismayed by the show of this absence of common courtesy.
Trishna: - Hi come in , no ummm..you are already in.
RK:- wow this is really pink…
He pointed to the room
Madhu:- Rishabh atleast you should have knocked. This is Trishna and my room and as chance would have it we are girls.
RK :- Girls…….he laughed joke of the century…..
Madhu:- excuse me
RK:- Trishna may somewhat be a girl but you ….you are the son of great Hercules….
Trishna saw that he was not joking in relity he was quite upset and it had to do with Madhu. She thought it better to leave both of them alone. She started to go out towards the terrace.
RK :- Trishna I am not going to have sex with her so no need to leave….
Trishna breathed in sharply at her words and Madhu breathed out.
RK:- synchronized breathing…. How long have you both been practicing it.
Trishna shook her head in disaprooval and left towards the terrace attached to their room.
Madhu:- what is wrong with you
RK:- I want to ask the same. Can you please give me your medicines? You must have got them already?
Madhu knew what it was all about. She had to start taking her prescribed drugs but she had not even bought them.
Madhu:- I had thought to start them from tomorrow.
RK:- Okay ….very good thought…... It is 9 PM ,1 hour past your time of Insulin. I am sure you must have taken it.
Madhu:- Today was stressfull…
RK:- all the more reason to take it right on time…
Look here darling Biwi I don't give a damn about your life your medicines or whatever but there are people who find themselves too attached to you and they may suffer on your account. Which I don't want and yes I am talking about your dear respected sir.
He took out a vial of Insulin and said
RK:- this is your line of life
He took out her medicines
RK:- and these are your lines of heart. I am not going to say this again don't mess with it. It is serious, if it worsens you will be beg for death every single minute that you live.
RK had by now gripped Madhu's arm in a very tight hold and was applying the alcohol swab on it. He very harshly punched the needle straight in her upper arm with all the frustration and anger that he had nursed due to Madhu carelessness. Madhu did not even flinch at the sharp prick of the needle. He pulled her index finger with equal vengeance and punctured it. A bright red spot of blood appeared on her finger and RK took that on th strip to put it in the measuring unit to check her diabetes. It was a random measurement but pretty high for his comfort. He flashed the unit in front of her.
RK:- Do you know how bad this is and it was so very easy to keep it in check.
Madhu : - why do you care?
RK clenched his teeth atop the other and took a deep breath.
RK:- I need to talk to sasu ma. I think she needs to know about this whole thing or should anything happen to you I would be blamed for nothing.
Madhu immediately changed her tone.
Madhu:- Rishabh , wait listen . I forgot, but this is the last time I promise, I swear to god.
Madhu pinched her neck and raised her chin. RK looked at her childish gesture that showed her impatience and innocence both. She was a puzzle but a beautiful puzzle. RK's frustration was replace by admiration, she was wearing a a white close fitting t-shirt. Her putting her hand on the neck forced him to look at her beautifully shaped neck. She looked like Venus De milo with smoothest skin and a shapely neck. He closed his eyes before he could cast his gaze any further. She had a capacity to set his heart at a racing pace. He did not even know when his hands had snaked around her waist andhad pulled her in. He got back to his senses when he felt Madhu's palm on his chest in an attempt to push him away. She was week in her will and her mind today so he prevailed. He kept studying her face intently. The most expressive set of almond eyes, a sharp nose, and softest lips completed one of the most beautiful faces he had ever seen. He noticed for the first time she had really curly hair and today they were not pulled in that iron bun. Instead she had a high pony tail. Something tugged at his heart again. Madhu was still trying to push him away though her attempt was less than convincing.
RK:- Who made your hair?
Madhu :- excuse me !!
RK:- My mom made it didn't she?
By this time Madhu had gathered her self from the mayhem that RK's closeness had caused to her senses. She digged her elbow in his chest with enough punch to make him cough.
RK: - I know my mom made your hair……you know she used to tie my brother's hair like that till he had his mundan done….you look like him, like boys look in pony tails.
Madhu was too irritated to hear that. She never looked like a boy. She immediately pulled the band out of her hair started to ruffle her hair like crazy.
Madhu:- Now I must look like a woman, right. Not yet, wait
she brought all her long hair on her face and gave them a shake and said
Madhu:- now, now what do you think I look like a woman?
RK tried his level best to suppress his laughter, but could not when he heard SM and trishna laugh out loud. They all were laughing on Madhu. When Madhu heard SM's voice she was taken a back.
SM :- you sure do look like a woman, but like the woman you remember we saw in the temple who was acting as if something had gotten into her . you look like her. Is she rehersing for some role your movie Trishna?
Madhu and RK saw trishna hiding her medicines. Madhu felt too embarrassed at this tiny show that she had just done. She hated RK for making her look like a fool. She just walked out of the room saying
Madhu:- when you both are done ( she looked in the direction of her father and sister) with this not so superstar. Then call for me.
SM talked to RK in a friendly but distanced manner. He was not yet aware about the reason for their marriage. He was cautious in his behavior with him. Madhu while walking out did notice that RK had thinned out the heaviness in the air of her house. She did not understand why on earth did he have to behave with her, the way had done and now all this. What should she believe? Her heart told her to accept this as his true face but her mind told her otherwise. She was a woman who believed in acting as per the guidance of her mind not heart.
