Chapter Forty – The Memories

"How could I what?"

He slowly walked up to me and grabbed me by the shoulders. I looked into his eyes and could tell he seemed lost and upset.

"Why'd you say yes?"

"Did you want me to say no to your brother?"

"No."

"Then what did you want me to say RK?"

He stared at me for a moment but then lowered his eyes as though in defeat. His hands slipped off my shoulders and fell to his side as he whispered.

"I don't know…"

It bothered me that he still couldn't figure out what he wanted, so I spoke sternly.

"When you figure it out, let me know."

I walked past him and was near the door when I felt him grab my sari pallu. I froze in spot as I felt my pallu slackening, as he got closer. Then I heard him speak under his breath behind me.

"How could you throw away all those memories…?"

Before I knew it, he was wrapping his arms around me from behind. I closed my eyes as my heart began to race at his touch. He ran his hands down my arms and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me closer and I felt my bare back against his chest. I felt his warm breath on my bare shoulder. He began speaking passionately as he held me tight.

"The first time we met…when you bumped into me…"

---

"PRIYA! I'm late! Oh no!"

I turned around and rushed down the hallway. I had always been the smartest one in my grade and the last thing I wanted was to be late to my first class of the year. I ran full speed away from my best friend Priya. I looked down to check if I had all my books when suddenly I bumped into someone. My books fell to the ground and my head shot up to see the most popular guy in our grade. At least, that's what Priya called him; I had not met him yet and had no idea what his name was. I had just been shown his picture courtesy of my best friend.

"I'm so sorry!"

"No problem."

I was surprised when he bent down and helped me pick up my books. He picked up a majority of them and then we both stood. He handed me the books and smirked.

"Next time, be careful."

I nodded my head and ran past him as fast as I could.

---

"I bumped into you…"

"You dropped your books."

He sighed and his breath made every hair on my body stand on end.

"The second time we met…"

"I spilled my drink…"

"On me."

---

I heard the bell ring as I sat at the table with my drink.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late!"

I instantly rose and began running towards the doors. I ran until I hit something…or rather, someone. I watched as my drink splashed all over his white shirt.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"

"No problem…it's not the first time you've bumped into me."

I slowly looked up to see his face after hearing his voice. I recognized him, yet I didn't know his name. I heard him chuckle as my face flushed red in embarrassment.

"I figure we're destined to keep bumping into each other so I might as well know your name."

He raised an eyebrow while awaiting an answer. I lowered my eyes and spoke softly.

"Madhubala."

"Madhubala…ahaan. What a beautiful name."

I flushed red again but this time due to his compliment. Then I slowly looked up at him again.

"You?"

"Rishabh…Rishabh Kundra, but you can call me RK."

---

"How can you throw all that away Madhu…?"

It took every thing I had not to turn around and smack him in the face with reality. He had just told me a day ago that he didn't love me, and on top of that he had mentioned that he'd forgotten everything between us, yet here he was bringing up the past again. I was so lost in the moment that I didn't have it in me to pull out of his arms.

"Our first date Madhu…"

"Pani puri."

"Mhm…"

---

"Where are we going?"

"Just be patient! No more questions Madhu."

"But RK!"

"Madhu, shush!"

"Oh fine."

He held my hand and pulled me down the street. He had finally asked me out on a date after two years. I had waited every day for him, but it took him a full two years to ask me. He told me it was a surprise and so refused to tell me where he was taking me. It was minutes later that he came to a stop. I looked to my left to see a pani puri stand. I looked back towards RK who was smiling down at me.

"Surprise!"

"But…but…I don't like pani puri…"

"That's because you've never tried it!"

"How do you know?"

"Everyone loves pani puri, so it's impossible for you not to."

He bought a plate of pani puri and held it up in front of me. I looked up at him and shook my head. I had always had the fear of choking on the golgappa since it was supposed to be stuffed into your mouth. So he picked up one golgappa and quickly pushed it into my mouth before I could say anything. I put my hand up to my mouth as I chewed and swallowed. As soon as I swallowed, I pushed him gently.

"RK!"

"Haha sorry, how'd you like it?"

After he asked me that, I got the chance to think about it.

"Oh…that was actually delicious…give me that!"

I took the plate out of his hand and stuffed another golgappa into my mouth. He stood laughing and watching me. As he laughed, I placed a golgappa into his mouth. Our plate finished and we stood laughing with each other. It was only our first date but we both knew we had feelings for each other. So I wasn't surprised when caressed the side of my face softly. I smiled up at him as he smiled down at me but then the man who sold us panipuri interrupted us.

"Young love doesn't last forever."

---

"You remember everything Madhu…"

"I never forgot RK…"

I had lost my memory. I had never intentionally forgotten everything that happened between us. I never wanted to.

I felt his breath at the nape of my neck and my heart began to race even faster. I missed having him so close. Then suddenly I felt his lips make contact with my skin. I arched my neck to the side as his lips moved down my neck, towards my shoulder, and back up to my neck again. It felt as though my heart was about to explode when he began sucking on my neck. He moaned under his breath and then slowly pulled away. I was surprised when I didn't like the feel of his lips leaving my body. Then interrupting what I was feeling, he spoke passionately again.

"The proposal…"

---

"You're the most beautiful girl in the world."

"You're kidding!"

He slowly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close into himself. I raised my hands and rested them on his chest as he smiled down at me passionately.

"Marry me."

My eyes widened at his sudden proposal. We were only the mere age of eighteen and getting married was not something I wanted at such a young age.

"Now?"

"When we're twenty. Marry me Madhu."

"Hey mister, I'd like a proper proposal!"

"But I don't have a rin…wait! I got it! Close your eyes."

"Yes sir!"

I closed my eyes slowly and waited for him to say something.

"Open."

As I opened my eyes I saw him down on one knee, holding out the ring he never took off his finger since I'd met him. He shrugged while gesturing towards his ring as though to say it was all he had. Then he smiled and looked up at me.

"Will you marry me Madhubala Malik?"

---

"Do you love me Madhubala Malik?"

He spoke in the same voice he had when he proposed to me years ago. I quickly turned around and wrapped my arms around him as tightly as I could. Then I spoke into his chest.

"Yes…yes, I do. I love you RK. I love you."

I felt his hands running across my waist causing my back to arch. He caressed my back gently with one hand as the other rested on the small of my back. Then he sighed into my hair.

"I love you too."

He kissed the top of my head and I slowly pulled away to look up at him. His eyes had changed. They were no longer dark and insensitive…now they were full of love and innocence. They were the eyes of my Rishabh. I smiled up at him as he wiped away at a tear I hadn't even realized had fallen from my eye. I rose onto my tiptoes to bring my face closer to his. He slowly began to close in on me as I began to run my hands up his chest. Then just as I was about to close my eyes to give him permission to continue, I saw something flash before my eyes. My eyes landed on my hand, which rested on his chest and I noticed the ring on my left index finger. I gasped and pulled out of RK's arms. He looked at me confused as I looked down at my hand and back up at him. He looked down at my hand slowly and I noticed a heartbroken expression cross his face.

"I…I can't do this RK…I can't…it's too late."

I quickly turned and ran out of his room, leaving the both of us broken-hearted.

unres: "When you figure it out, let me know?" BURN!!!!! He deserves it.

amazing update pritt 👏👏👏

nice update and waiting 4 next part

Really a nyc update. Twists r needed in the story so looking forward

And that is why I believe she is being selfish. Knowing that she loves RK, that she doesn't love Adi as he does her, and that she is just feeling pity for him .. how can she agree to marry him? Because she wants to move on? That isn't fair to Adi. He deserves someone who puts him first.

Wow..so beautiful😃...what are they doing?? Are they both nuts😕..please grant me the permission to kill Adi right now...then at least these will realise their love..and I hate Adi for whatever he is doing😡.
