ch59-60 pg137, Updt,a road to salvation Mar 27 - Page 94

When they were nearly done with their food right then Jugni's eldest son came in side and he casted another laughing spell on Madhu. Rishabh had now had it, patience here was not going to help him he was certain. He said to Madhu " what is so funny?" She kept on laughing. RK used his toes to lift up the edges of her salwar and caressed her calf ever so gently. Madhu instantly stopped and indicated him to stop.

"you don't tell me what this is all about. You wont be able to stop me." said RK and meant every words he said.

" trust me you do not want hear it." pleaded Madhu.

"Try me" said RK. Madhu understood the pun here. "I am pretty certain that Vasant is also eager to hear it" said RK

Even before both of them could blink Madhu was up and away in her room still laughing. RK asked Vasant's excuse and went to Madhu.

"Last time Biwi what is this all about, I don't know whether you will regret it or not but I am sure you don't want it right now,"

" Call that boy inside and you will know." uttered Madhu admist her laughter.

When the boy came in Madhu asked him to bring his other two brothers too. He ran away to fetch them.

"This better be good Biwi"

"Oh it is all gold!! Really, God Promise" she again touched her throat.

"if it is not, only god will save you,"

"From what?"

He was about to answer when three boys of nearly same age enetered in. They looked so very cute together, they resembled each other and all three had dimples on there left cheek.

Madhu asked them with affection their names. By this time Jugni had also dared to come inside. RK noticed the change in his staff, they were more at ease in Madhu's presence, anyways back to the topic at hand, their names.

The eldest one was about to tell his name , when the big mouthed Jugni opened her jukebox to sing her favorite song, RK chalisa.

"BHaiyaji wo ka hai ki hum na aapke barka phan hain, ekdam tap number ke phan, sab philmein aapki dekhein hain hum."

"Bhaiya ji the thing is than I am a huge fan of yours. I top the fanchart. I have seen all your films"

RK stared at Madhu and wishered to her " let her go Biwi and you are going pay for this torture. Haan to Jugni aage bolo" He wanted her to finish the story and leave asap.

"Haan to humre Kamre mein , Mane ki bedroomva mein ek tho Tasveer hain aapki akdam aadamkad phottooo. To jab hum pet se rahey maney"

"Yes so in my room actually in my bedroom I have a photo of yours, it is human size photo. So when I was carrying,I mean"

" Mujhey maney pata hai aage bolo"

"I know what you mean pls continue"

RK was really irritated but was not going to misbehave with an innocent fan and an employee too. He had been strict and distant with the staff here but had never been rude to them. He was not going start it now, Madhu was still finding it difficult to stifle her giggles.

"Haan to jab hum pet se rahey na to hum ooohi photova dekhat rahey roj, to dekhein na humre teeno betwan aappar hi to gaye hain. Dekhein gaal pe gaddha bhi parta hai. EH kariyurke has to jara bhaiya dekhein gaal pe gaddha"

" so when I was carrying I used to look at that photo all the time, that is why see, My all three sons have taken your features. See , see!! They have dimples on their cheek like you do. O! Kariyurke (Black urk) smile for Bhaiyaji so that he cans ee the dimple"

RK wanted to throttle Madhu who was again giggling.

Jugni again started " Inkar to naam hi hum aappar rakehin hain

"Kariyurk… thod kariya hai na, eee dusra gor urk , aur ek sab se chutka mor urk"

"I have named them after you , he is Kariyurk slightly black that is why, this the second one Gor URK (white URK) and this one the smallest is Mor URK (my URK)"

"Thankyou Jugni abhi jao," RK said to Jugni and looked at Madhu with eyes full of menace.

Jugni was about to go but Madhu said

"Jugni mere sar mein tel laga do" she was actually trying to evade being alone with RK.

"Jao Jugni jao, Dear biwi I will massage you really really well." Jugni left she felt she was on top of the world, she had told RK she had sons who looked like him only because of his photo.

"You are potent man, Photo se hi itna kuch ho gaya. Do you by any chance have some kind of a lab at the farm."

Madhu giggled again, but this time it did not last long. She was standing on the other side of the bed and busy giggling, she did not even see when RK had croosed the entire Kingsize bed and was now on her side. It took him just a tug to pull Madhu onto the bed and he came right on top of her. Madhu was taken aback, but the enjoyment that she had from this silly talk of Jugni which she had heard when she had comeback from the ride was so overpowering that she could feel nothing at the moment.

"Your picture in her bedroom, and three sons. O my god how innocent are these people." She was still giggling, RK waited for her to cast a little attention at where she was and he wanted to have his share of fun from her reaction. When she did not seem to stop, he placed his palm on her mouth, there he had her attention now and Madhu felt all the blood rush into her face. She tried to push him away, but he would'nt have any of it, after all he had warned her so many times.

"All Jugni needed was a picture for picture perfect sons, but I am sure you are going need a lot more." RK slowly removed his palm and moved away from her. Madhu did not waste a second to jump out of the bed. She looked everywhere but RK.

He walked towards her, she wanted to run but escape was not possible here, neither physically nor practically. How long could she deny her own response to his presence, to his charm. How long could she draw her strength from the past that was fading very fast. She stood there still and pivoted in the center of the room silent, trying to figure out if the place where she stood was actually just a mirage in a hot burning desert or was it the oasis which could be the shelter for atleast this life. She remembered all the seven phere she had taken with him, her hands in his. It was his physical exertion of strength on her That had pulled her through the ceremony. Since then it was his force that had dragged her along with him. She never came willingly. Today was different, but had it not come too soon? Was it not too early to rest her case? What if this was all just an act? A shiver coursed through her entire body and she came back to reality.

RK was too close to her for his comfort, his heart knew that in her rested all the answers that he had been seeking. In her he found everything that he craved for in any women. She was tailor casted for him inside out. He also knew it was just too soon to accept this fact even to himself let alone Madhu. He entwined his fingers in hers ever so gently that Madhu for the first time noticed that he had hands as soft as a ball of snow. She wanted to tell him that he might hurt himself at her hands, but instead she placed her hand on his while he once again dragged her to the living room to check her wardrobe.

"some things are better left to time, now Bahadur is not the time to sort out our entangled relationship. Now is the time to check out your new wardrobe."

" but RK I already have so much stuff in my wardrobe at home that I have never had a chance to wear. I don't need any thing else"

"You told me Bahadur that it was too overworked for your taste. Remember in the hospital"

"Oh is that why you ordered for this new wardrobe." Asked Madhu "I am so sorry I just said it like that"

"RK does not need a reason to splurge on his one and only Biwi, does he?" asked RK and Madhu looked at him guiltily. She had never been pampered by anyone. Not even Malik because he believed in bringing up his girls in as down to earth environment as possible. With RK nothing was down to earth, his life and his surrounding were all much much larger than life. She sighed when she sat on the sofa in the lobby and panicked when she saw Vasant arriving with two really huge trolleys full of clothes in all shades possible.

Merely casting a look at them she felt like a little girl standing with all sorts of candies around her. She would never know which ones to choose.

Vasant looked at her as if an ugly duckling had got a goose in her hands. Some people can speak volumes by there looks. RK was now way beyond being pacified, Madhu whispered to him,

"Malik always says to succeed one must always aim at the fish's eyes and never get distracted by the rainbow scales it has. As of now this choosing of clothes is a humongous task ahead of us so I would very humbly suggest my lord please help me instead of paying attention to others."

While RK understood what she said but Vasant looked even more confused than she already was. RK smiled and said "at your service Biwi." Madhu finally chose an array of outfits in light and pastel shades. She was not very fond of dark colors but since RK insistead read commanded she had to keep two sarees and many suits in red, jewel blues and magenta.

Vasant was after a black suit that she wanted to some how shove onto RK but Madhu simply despised black color, and RK saw her dislike so he eventually intervened and said " I don't want anything "Kariya" (black ) close to her or she will always remember Jugni's son and how they got someone's Features. There he did it, she was again giggling like a school girl. RK couldnot have asked for more in just one day.
