It had been ages that RK had ever taken leave from his parents personally when going out for long. It was always Bittuji who informed them after he left, but this time since Madhu would not go just like that. Moreover Malliks were coming to see them off. He so did not want to see them atall, not today atleast. He was pretty upset at the turn of events but there was little he could do about it right now.
"Oh I am so ready to be done with all this melodrama"
"I don't get it you thrive on drama but hate real display of emotions." Said Madhu putting some of his stuff in her bag to manage the weight.
"chod do, just leave shuffling the luggage. I any ways have to pay for tons of extra luggage. Just quit doing that it is so irritating. I hate adjustments."
"O!O! someones in a bad mood today" said Madhu
"please don't make it any worse."
"I wish she was here to help , when ever I went to the hostel she use to pack my stuff in such an organized. I never faced any issues finding them again." She kept on fidgeting.
"Yeah I can very well sense your disaster building up, do you even remember which bag has which part of your dress." He saw her still fidgeting with a purple dupatta "OH GOdd, Biwi go go go get me a cup of tea please. Just go go from here." he pushed her out of the room very unceremoniously she landed on her bum on the staircase landing. She was about to say something to him but she heard the door bang and lock after her.
"you are incorrigibly rude" she screamed
"yeah right that coming from a woman who owns a masters in profanity ( police officers in India are known to be in possession of worst possible language ever)
"yeah and how many time have I used it on you Didu" said Madhu to Trishna who had just entered and had witnessed Madhu's downfall so to say.
Trishna and Madhu hugged each other. Madhu looked for her mom,
"sorry babes mom and Malik will come at the air port" Trishna told in a guilty tone "Malik had some appointments he could not postpone"
"It is ok didu"
"TRISHNAAA"
Trishna jumped at that roar.
"did you by any chance packed the stuff Madhu"
"Actually unpacked more and packed less" Madhu told Trishna with a victorious smile.
"I don't see you catching your flight. Gayi tu Madhu"
Trishna ran to the source of the sound RK
"Trishna tell me something. How do I tell your sister this does not goes in my laptop bag." Madhu's bare essentials were dangling on his index finger and Trishna was embarrassed and so was Madhu who had followed Trishna in. Why was it so difficult for Madhu to keep it in her mind that the black square bag was his laptop bag and not, her carry on.
"RK you go out of this room and I will clear this mess." Said Trishna
"Kaun , kaun sa mess clear karogi Trishna. We just have another hour or so.?" RK looked so sad and gloomy and left
"I have no Idea what has gone wrong with him? He has been grumpy old troll since morning." Said Madhu to Trishna
"I think I know"
"You know what Didu?"
"I know why he is upset."
"you do didu? And how do you know? And what do you know?"
"Stuff your attitude in your pocket Madhu, you have no clue what you have landed into. Before, our professional lifes were a mess and fortunately Malik kept our personal lives in perfect order. Off late every thing has gone hay wire, for all of us."
Trishna switched on the TV and the new channel was blooming with the worst ever breaking news for them at a very personal level.
"RK TRAPS THE MALIKS FOR HIS PERSONAL BENEFITS."…1ST CHANNEL
"RK MARRIES THE YOUNGER DAUGHTER BUT ROMANCES THE OLDER"…SECOND CHANNEL
"RK BLACKMAILS MADHUBALA SHASHER MALLIK INTO A CONTRACT MARRIAGE"…THIRD CHANNEL
"THE SANCTITY OF THE INSTITUTION MARRIAGE SMASHED BY THE BAD BOY OF FILM INDUSTRY"……FOURTH CHANNEL
"CHIEF-MINISTER SHAMSHER MALLIK 'S LEGECY OF SANSKAR PUT to QUESTION BY HIS OWN DAUGHTERS OR ARE THEY HIS DAUGHTES"…FIFTH CHANNEL
"CHIEF MINISTER'S CHARACTER PUT TO ACID TEST BY HIS FOSTER DAUGHTERS"
They were playing the cd that RK had used to blackmail Madhu on all channels every hour.
"Didu yeh kya ho gaya? How did this come in public."
"where did you leave the cd that RK sent to you"
"I don't remember didu, Oh! No I left it in my office or I cant recall"
"it is mukund's work, he feared his transfer and did this, to hurt us. He might have got the CD from you or from my room. At that point of time we were together and I told him about your marriage."
" Didu he is such a snake, I always knew he is but this level, you know when he used to meet RK earlier he used to greet him with such affinity even after knowing how RK married me. Didu for the first time today I am so happy I married him"
"wo to theek hai Madhu but since malik and mom is put to question I think malik will have to resign."
"Nahi didu nothing of that sort will happen, trust me"
"How, what are you planning to do. Madhu don't do anything stupid" said Trishna
"Nahi nothing stupid. Didu that CD was recorded when he was giving some interview."
"Partially right and then in his bedroom."
"But in his bedroom you were not hugging him didu"
"But hugging is common in our fraternity Madhu."
"I know , but the cd they are showing now has voice over does it. I am pretty certain that Airport will not be an easy entry. This I will work out. I will go and see RK. No wonder the entire family has gone missing even dad and mom are not home."
"They are with malik. Your packing is all settled now don't open it up until you reach LA. I will go home and tell RK to come see you."
"Didu I will come see you off,"
"Madhu not a time for niceties. Just work it out some how. Please"
Madhu just blew her a kiss and said
"see you at the airport."
Madhu was sitting there brooding on her plan of action.
"All set" RK said coming in. He looked so resigned and sad. Madhu just felt like someone punched her gut.
"RK I need a copy of that CD"
"which cd" RK looked at her apprehensively. How hard he had tried to hide this all mess from her. How much conscious effort had gone in to his subconscious love. They had come a very small way and all was nearly lost. Someone no that bloody Mukund had scratched the wound brutally and painfully. He could see Madhu troubled.
"you don't know which cd I am talking about?"
RK sat down on his rocking chair and looked at her in despair. She was all he wanted and she was all he really had but all was going to be lost. She was wearing one of the the cream and grey chiffon dress from that day. It was a free flowing ivory colored ankle length maxi clinched right under her bossom, and fixed with a satin grey rose. She had added a grey lace bolero on top probably to make it more modest. He did not remember wether it was a shoulderless dress or not. All he could see was perfect skin, perfect face,perfect eyes and perfect size drapped in beautiful fabric and color. No jewellery once again but open really curly hair. What a beautiful day which had so many hopes and dreams and desires all roped in like a necklace but now lay broken and scattered every where. Karma is a Bitch.
"not a time to stare into nothing RK,I need the CD and I need it now. Ok forget it I will get it from Bittuji."
RK maintained his silence and kind of gave up. Past few days had been more than too much for him too.
Madhu went to Bittuji, he too was sitting all looking grey and morose. She now knew why RK hated grey, isshh and she chose this day to wear grey. What a sad coincidence.
"Kya Hua Bittuji sooo sad"
"bhabiji aap why did you come. You could have called me." he stood up immediately. This little man had always admired Madhu and respected her a lot. In this selfish industry where women changed boyfriends and partners and husbads at the drop of their hats she chose to marry a devil to save her sister. He always noticed her most undemanding lifestyle. She hardly needed anything.
"I need a copy of that CD"
"Bhabi ji please listen to me."
"You listen to me we dont have time. I have the courage to fight my own battles, I don't need the world around me to witness them. Your chief has been a devil and an angel both to me. In a game of chess we ddont have three players. I need to hit this third one out. CD please"
"Bhabi ji aapka experience with film media is soo little."
"Bittuji don't make remind you that I am not only experienced but also trained by the best to handle and straighten crooked."
"Bhabiji the recording is in the computer, I wil burn a CD and give it to you. Bhabi ji you are the best this that has happened to chief in a long long time. Please don't judge him by just the cover."
"wo kya hai bittuji aapke chief naam ki yeh jo kitab hai has a very interesting and beautiful cover, abhi to I am quite content drooling at that, andar phir kabhi jaank leinge" she winked at him. He passed a very greatfull smile and was certain this shall also pass.
" O before I forget I also want the CD of the interview from which this CD was cut."
"Ji bhabi ji"
"Patil, Munna saman rakho gadi mein. Bittuji aapka ticket confirm hua?"
"Chief kal ka confirm hai"
Madhu came out from behind Bittuji and said give me a minute and she went in her mom inlaws room. They had a small altar built in there. She lighted the diya and incense sticks and was just about to do the aarti when RK joined in holding the plate together with her. He was really stressed. Madhu bowed her head and then said to him
"tum chalo main aati hoon"
"Ab kya bach ahai Madhu, I just don't appreciate you behaving like a woman."
"Excuse me!!"
He was long gone to hear her protest.
Madhu came out in a little while with two small packets and gave them to Chetan,
"airport se vapas aaoge to kal Didu se aise do packet mileinge unmein se ek Abhishek sachan, aur ek Karandeep ko Pahuncha dena, receiving lelena, bolna Madhubalane bheja hai, wo samajh jayeinge meri baat ho chuki hai unse.
"Ji Madam. Hum bhi airport chal rahey hain wahan vaise to security badva di gayi hai."
"security?"
"IG aur commissioner sahib ka order tha, international terminal pe aapko media nahi melega"
Security meant no chance of her corresponding with the media.
"mera ek kaam karo" and madhubala mumbled some thing to him and then she went to sit with RK.
They were about to drive of when Chetan came and said
"IG sahib ka phone hai chief"
"Uno kya chahiye,"
"wo aapko laga rahey they aap dono switched off hai. Unhone kaha hai ki aap dono ko hum lekar chalein."
"what is this now"
"I think he is right RK"
"Bittuji chaliye utariye, do I need to give you a special invitation Biwi"
They were now driving off to the airport in Madhu's van and when they neared the terminal , as soon as Madhu saw a huge lot of a media mob she coughed. The van stopped, when Chetan tried the ignition again it failed. Hers were untinted glass windows. Now RK started becoming very concerned.
"what happened, Utar ke check kariye Bittuji, Chetan"
"Chief"
They both got down to check the fault.
"Chief samajh nahi aa raha hai main IG sir ko phone karke car mangvata hoon."
Bittuji getting down was a big mistake. Many of the reporters saw him and within a moment their car was surrounded by their mod like jar of honey by bees.
RK was nonplus because he was in no mood to answering ugly questions. He had no answers moreover Mr. Shamsher Mallik was put on the stake. That man had selflessly given to the country for past 20 years alright that there were some black spots on his white chaddar but still very few others did not even had white spot left on their white chaddars. It was all black, but ways of India were very different, he would pay heavily and so would many others for his selfish moves.
Madhu eventually stepped out and shouted
"peeche hato'MOVE BACK. Mere aapke beech mein 2 foot ka gap hona chahiye. Any one who comes close to me gets shot in my self defense. Have I made my self clear. 2and a half foot"she had her revolver in her hand as well as her ID card. Some of the braver and newer ones seemed to defy her.
"My name is Madhubala Rishabh Kundra and I am an ASP with special recognition in Maharashtra police force. I am recognized for my relentless ability to kill. Agar main eek aadh ko maar diya yahan pe to mujhsey koi dubara poochega bhi nahi ki maine aisa kyoun kiya. 2 and hal feet gap now"
That was more than enough and she had enough space.
"Bittuji??"
"BHabi ji car nikal gayi hai VIP Parking se bas 5 MIN mein pahunchti hogi"
Madhu nodded and said to the mob of ever increasing reporters. "I have 15 minutes to answer your questions shoot"
Bittuji took over as all of them started asking question in one go. Madhu gestured to him that she was fine. She was well atunned to handle crime reporters who are far more rhobust and probbing than delicate page 3 reporters. Them she could maneuver any day with perfect ease.
"RK we both cannot get out of this together, it is a pretty huge mob. You leave for the lounge area in the car I will handle them here with bittuji and Chetan. I will join you in a few minutes"
"chief Bhabi ji theek keh rahi hain"
"AAP dono ney mujhko kaun se pagalkhane ka head patient samjha hai"
"Madhubala mansion ka, nikalo abhi the car is here."
"Biwi bhoolo mat , mujhsey baat kar rahi ho. Meri n aka matlab aaj bhi na hi hota hai."
"RK we cannot get ot of this together, not now. If we do so it would be like escaping. I have no reason to escape, I have done no wrong. If you stay back and as it is this crowd is swelling they will have a reason to keep growing."
RK took her words in a very very wrong way, probably because he still could not see what Madhubala was as a real person. He saw her gruff exterior and her lofty Ideals. He also understood her pains and trauma that she had been through, but he never ever saw or felt her strong sense of loyalty. Something that Mr Kundra sr knew very well and cherished more than his own life. Loyalty was in rank scarcity these days. This was actually the reason behind their very strong bond. When Madhu felt bound to some due to what ever reason she left reason logic all behind her to protect that someone. When she had wedded Rishabh it was because of this threat that RK had posed to Shamsher Mallik not Trishna. Today she felt her answerability not only to Shamsher Mallik but her mother and RK aswell. She had far more at stake than RK, and this was not visible to rK for it had been long time that he had been living a life of a solitary reeper. RK was put off by what Madhu had said to really extreme levels, so much so that before he got out of the van and said to Madhu
"Madhubala Shamsher Mallik , I am rectifying this wrong right now. You are not accompanying me to USA. I will free you from this devil of a man within 24 hrs. Bittuji"
"Chief main yahan bhabi ji ko akele chod kar nahi aa sakta aapke sasurji aur pitaji dono milkar mujhko kha jayeinge agar Inko kuch hogaya."
He did not wait for another minute and left.Madhu was left shocked, will she ever be able to understand her husbands temper?"
She came back to present and needed to answer them.
"Mam are you the police officer who had saved the girl from the high seas on 12 january with RK's help"asked one of the reporters.
"yes I am. That entire incident has been filed in police records and those records are public." She stopped for the next question.
"madubala Shamsher Mallik ji'"
"Madubala Rishabh Kundra."she rectified there was no lack of confidence in her when she said this. Bittuji was shocked at that moment because he had witnessed his chief's misbehavior towards her in the car. He was a gamut of emotions at this moment.
"when did you get married"
"23rdJanuary 2013" came back a short and stiff reply from her.
"Mam was your marriage preplanned?"
"No we, we as in Rishabh and I decided that we urgently needed to get married due to some personal reasons"
"Why was it because of any chance of unwarranted pregnancy or something?"
Some foul mouth had to be there. Bittuji was about to intervene again but this time Chetan stopped him,
"kya baat baat mein koodne lagte ho. Khade raho chupchap kinare"
Bittuji made a note to take Chetan to task later.
"next question please?"
"Mam what was the urgency."
"It is personal."
"Mam was it because of the CD? Who was RK seeing? You or Trishna"
"I have known RK for past 3 years since I used to visit his house to report to his father of and on. We were having an affair for past one year.No the CD had no role in our wedding to play. No I was not pregnant. I have juvinille type two Diabetes which is causing severe Kidney damage now. We needed to make a trip to USA for some new kind of treatment that I don't know the details of but my husband does being a doctor. I was admitted to JJ hospital on 23 january for a near death experience and treated by Mr. Sant saran Trihan. You can get all details from there. It is this disease that had made us get married in such urgency. My family either side and I do not give in to extortions. We had received this CD from someone I wont name here as that would jeopardise his entire career. The person wanted to threaten Trishna shamsher Mallik into marriage which she did not want. It is a doctored part of s press conference held by my husband at his residence."
"Mam buthow did she reach his bedroom?"
"She is free to go in and out of his bedroom any time of the day. She is my sister, she was there to discuss his dress for the wedding when this footage was recorded using sting cameras.Trishna and Rishabh are very close to each other. Trishna is very close to my inlaws also. We had celebrated her birthday with my inlaws even before my wedding. Bittuji wo photos dijiye"
"And she gave a few copies to just a few of them. These photos were also posted on her Pinterest secret board which she has agreed to open up to all. You can see date when it was posted there. Trishna will be updating her twitter page viz a viz this once we fly off."
"Mam nobody calls RK rishabh except his mother"
"I address him with so many other names which I wont dare to even utter here or he would be so upset."
"Mam who designed your wedding dress?"
"Dear sir I am not a page three celebrity, I am a very simple woman who spends most of her days in khaki uniform. I don't even know the names of designers let alone wear them. As to the question why my husband did not gift me one, he wanted to see me getting married in his mother's dress. Which I was more than ecstatic to comply with."
"Last question" she said the mood of the press was pretty somber. Her news of illness was something they were not expecting and then she had used the past incident very deftly in her interview. Were they a lie they sure were but then they could save many a lot of pain.
"Mam what is RK to you"
"A friend, A husband, A lover, but the bigger question is what is RK to you?. Why is it that the media is so ready to pounce at him and tear him apart?. You don't even give him a chance to defend himself, you just declare him a criminal. It is such an irresponsible journalism to say that he extorted his way into this marriage when millions of girl were ready to marry him on a drop of hat. Why would he need to bully someone into marriage. This very thought is so senseless. You are finders of truth you should know better. RK comes from a prominent background. He is a very prominent citizen of India. He is one who never fails in his civil duties. He has never faltered in his taxes, he is responsible enough to use green gas for his cars. Responsible enough to swim nearly 25 meters of highly turbulent seas to save a girls life in pitch dark, A girl who he had never seen and will never see. Wow he is such a wonderfull womanizer, I wish this country had many more of his types. He is the reason that one of your people live to see this day "Shashank Shekhar" go find him and ask him who was responsible to protect him from a huge load of goons. Ironically you choose to publish all that is fake about him and create ripples of waves for what might I ask.?"
"Mam we are really sorry for your illness. Hope you will recover very soon"
"Thankyou for your kind concern. I am done here"
"Mam one last question please"
"shoot"
"you are clearly in love with him, It is so evident in every word you said. Whom are you in love with RK the man or RK the actor?"
Madhu looked at the elderly reporter who just said something she had not been able to accept herself.
"can you separate the two, acting for RK is not a passion. Art is, it runs in his blood, you cannot separate them. Acting is but an art more closer to him. I cannot opt for one and give up another. RK is an enigma, no one can define him within conventional boundries of black or white. To appreciate and love RK you need awareness, intelligence and open mind. He has a very advanced approach to a lot of things in lifedue to his outstanding knowledge in Literature,philosophy,cinematography, Art and science. He has tremendous courage to innovate and execute his ideas to perfection. There are a lot of people who are not comfortable with this, and interesting is the fact that he never tries to make them comfortable either. He scares them even further by his extremely caustic and sarcastic exterior. I am deeply in love with RK the phenomenon."
Madhubala sat back in the van and left, with bittuji and Chetan. Bittuji was left speechless and moved. Today Madhubala had got for herself a lifelong confident in him. Had RK even slightest Idea what Madhubala could put on line to stand up for him he would have never ever said the words that he said. What art was to RK, Madu's job was to her. She had exposed her self to forced voluntary retirement, book work, and above all a possibility of being removed from this project extradition BC itself, given that she had accepted her illness in public.While she had pulled RK out from this ugly soup sheherself had caused a severe damage to her only dream of life:- bringing her father to justice.
Tommorrow would be another day for Shamsher Mallik and Padmini too. The two major news papers and the most reliable ones will carry an article on them and their unrecruited love. She had asked Arjun for a fabricated marriage certificate in past dates 15 years ago and a copy of those would be published in those articles, calling out on yellow journalism. How would they react to it, time will only tell. For now the clouds were gone, or were they really??.
