ch59-60 pg137, Updt,a road to salvation Mar 27 - Page 73

Madhu had been trying to avoid him all day and in the evening too. Not that she did not notice his show of gentelness, but that is what she thought it was, a show and not genuine. What she was not able to understand was when she was so certain that he was just faking it then why did she feel guilt ridden for not behaving with him properly.

Madhu: - It is going to be really difficult to keep my head straight with you. It has just been five days and I am worn out. How much more of this will I be able to endure time will only tell. Till then bring it on.

RK came back home a little late. He saw bittuji sitting in the lobby. He looked towards the room of his parents, usually their lights were switched of by now. Today though, they were still on. He got a call on his phone and saw the number of his dad flashing on the screen.

RK: - Bittuji we do live in a big house, don't we?

He flashed the phone towards him and said sarcastically

Bittuji: - he has been waiting for you since long, had already asked for you twice.

Rishabh: - kya hua mugambo ko meri yaad kyun aayi

Bittuji stifled his smile.

Bittuji:- no Idea chief..

His cell rang again

RK put his hand around Bittuji's shoulders and said

"Janeman mera abhi thoda accha mood hai aur main is samay apne sasur ji se mil ke aa raha hoon….meri biwi ke sasur se aap nipatiye"

Trans:- My love I am in a slightly good mood today, I just met my sasurji….you go and handle my biwi's sasurji.

Bittuji said in a really worried tone:-

Chief main aapki biwi se kabhi nahi nipat paya, aapki biwi ke sasur se kya kha ke nipatoonga.

Trans:- chief I have never been able to handle your wife, how on earth do you find me capable of handling her sasurji…

RK: - Bittuji aaj to meri biwi ko handle karne ki baat boldi aage sochna bhi mat…nope I wont do a thing but she is a different story……( buzzz) isshhh this wont stop….will go and see

Rk went to his dad's room and saw he was sitting with a bunch of papers. He handed him an envelope. RK looked at him questioningly without bothering to take it from his hand.

MK:- the state documents needed for Madhu's visa……….

RK: - state? … what the hell has state got to do with her visa? She is going on a tourist visa.

MK : - she will still need this.

RK did not question him any further but took the envelope and left without saying a word.

MK kept staring at his son's back till he disappeared and then looked at Radha and smirked.

Radha : - what ? what is amiss here….there is something about it that Rishabh does not know….you enjoy instigating him to misbehave with you…

MK: - Shush…….Biwi ……….dont start bashing me for nothing….I was just smiling at the kind of possesiveness he shows for Madhu………….

Radha:- yeah …right……

MK: - what ? you don't believe me….its nothing

She still kept on staring at him. He knew she would keep giving him those weird looks till she would find out what he was upto. It had been years since she had excercised her strength on him. She sure was still capapble of bending his will.

MK:- Taking lessons from Madhu ???...

MK tried to hush her doubts by diverting her but she was persistant.

MK:- all right…..Madhu is going on deputation….

Radha:-….you Tricked him? Why ? what you r doing is going to jeopardise their already sour relationship. This is so wrong.

MK: - Radha …

Radha: - for once think beyond the walls of your duties …..please ..she is not well….Rishabh has connected with someone after a long time …..If not for Rishabh for her then.

Chapter 48

Madhu on the other hand was finding it really difficult to get sleep. Past few days were haunting her. She was trying to understand what kind of a person RK was, but no matter how much she tried to wrap her mind around every thing, it never made any sense. She finally gave up with a deep sigh and drifted off to sleep.

In the morning Madhu left for office from her mom's place. RK had not called her even once the whole day and in all honesty she missed his snide remarks. In the vening when Madhu boarded her jeep chetan asked her where she wanted to go and she had responded

"GHAR"

She closed her eyes and tried to rest for a few minutes. When chetan announced

"Ghar Madam"

She opened her eyes and got down. She was taken aback to see herself in her fIL's house instead of her house. She was about to bash Chetan when it struck her this was her home. She may or may not consider it that ways but to every one else this was her home. She once again took a deep breath and walked towards her foyer.

For the first time while taking of her shoes near the entrance she saw a very beautiful sculpture of a women standing right in the corner. It had a veil on its face and the veil was so transparent that it showed all the features of the face trough. It resembled the veiled Rebecca she had once seen at Salarjung meuseum. She was busy admiring every single nuance of the statue that she did not hear the sound of the door opening and someone coming in. She had placed her long delicate fingers sans any artificial embellishment on the veil. She was so mesmerized by the ethereal beauty of that statue that she failed to notice someone was very keenly studying her beautiful hand.

Fingers long, and slender tapering towards the tip, as beautiful as it could get. Nails that showed the hint of pink from underneath. Her touch was ever so light that it appeared to him as if she was caressing the most beautiful and delicate butterfly. How he desired that touch on his parched skin. She traced the features of that beautiful face. The idol was though carved in marbel but its eyes were sanded to such perfection that they glimmered like diamonds. He looked at her hand tracing the outlines of the veils with such tenderness that he was swept away. She bent down to look at those beautifully sculpted feet and then the platform on which the statue rested. The platforms was carved in the most beautiful tiers that were in turn adorned with most beautiful Victorian scrolls and roses. She sat down on the floor to feel every single scroll with her hand. The marble was cold to touch but something in that statue looked so real. She felt as if the statue breathed.

He could not take any more of it , she was admiring her work as if she was soaking herself in its beauty. He felt elated for the first time someone in this house had taken out time from their jumbled up lives to cast a look at his years of hard labour. He remembered his bleeding hands and his endless hours of labour that had gone into this statue. Her touch was as if giving him a life that he so craved for. She inpected every single scroll on the platfor with nothing short of love. He left with a bewildered for his room. Did he feel his eyes moisten he did not know nor did he dared to find out.

Madhu looked as closely as she could for she saw hints of brownish black something in a few of those scrolls. Those were so detailed and deeply etched on the marble that she was certain that it must have caused a huge amount of injury to the sculptor of this masterpiece. She was certain that what what she saw in the cervices of the scrolls was dried blood. She could identify blood in one view. She turned around and went in her room. RK was just coming out of the washroom he was still feeling blissfully happy. Her sight made him smile from ear to ear. This was the most liberated smile from his side that she had seen since she had known him.

She could not stop but smiled back. RK was so lost in her at that moment that he bumped his toe on the iron coffee table.

RK:- Ishhh…

he imidiately sat on the chair to take a closer look at his injury but even before he could reach down to grab his foot, he felt that tender touch on his toes. Madhu had closed in on that distance between them in a second. His pain showed on her face. He looked at her confused, she was pressing down on his toes and rubbing on his ankle.

RK:- you have a dazzling set of teeth Biwi they blinded me…

Madhu:- excuse me??

RK:- you are so boring Biwi….no sense of humore atall….. your smile blinded me is what I intended to say.

Madhu could not help but smiled again. This time there was no reaction he kept on looking through her. It was her turn to be confused

RK:- what?? I am already blind …

Madhu started laughing.

Madhu:-You are weird. Does it still hurt? (she pointed towards his toe)

He was about to say that he was fine but then noticed that his foot was very nicely cushioned on her thigh and she was still rubbing it with her palms. His toughts were racing at lightening speed in every which direction. Her most innocent touch was creating a storm within him that even the sultriest of embraces failed to do. He smiled naughtily and said

RK:- it still hurts and real bad actually my whole body is hurting and my head is spinning can you help me to the bed Biwi.

Madhu:- Lagi to sirf pair mein thi yeh itna sara dard kahan se aa gaya

Madhu said scrutinizing his toe. It had been ages when someone had really cared for him like that. He was relishing every minute and did not want it to end, because with Madhubala you never knew when a romantic interlude could turn into a wrestling match.

RK :- yeh to pata nahi par…..

And within a second Madhu pushed him with full force and he toppled over.

Madhu:- now you would know in all surety where your pain came from.

She smiled wickedly and went to changed. RK shrinked his eyes and said to himself I am noting everything Biwi and you will pay for all this really really well. He winked to himself and went to his studio leaving behind the envelope that his dad had given him for her on the coffee table.
