Ah! This FF is so close to being done, it's making me sad. Just 9 days away! Anyways, I got a few requests to write a full FF from RK's pov...but I'm not doing that! I'm sorry. :( OH Jassu, now I know what you meant by me saying no to something for once! I did write up the five povs that I said I would and they'll be posted once this FF is completed! Thanks for all the lovely comments. <3
Chapter Forty-One – The Love Mark
As I ran out of RK's room, I noticed Adi heading down the stairs. He stopped in his steps and turned to see me standing at the top of the stairs. I lowered my eyes as he stared up at me. I couldn't help but wonder if he knew I had just come out of RK's room. I kept my eyes lowered until I saw his feet on the ground in front of me. My eyes shot up in his direction and I noticed him staring down at me with a worried expression. I kept my eyes on his as he slowly lowered his eyes to my neck. He had his eyes on my neck for a moment and then looked back into my eyes. He reached behind me and slowly ran his fingers across my back. I shivered at his touch but then noticed my hair beginning to fall in front of me. I looked towards my shoulder to see him placing my hair in front of me. Then he slowly pulled his hand away and stared at me with the most intense yet caring eyes.
"Are you okay Madhu?"
He asked in such a caring voice that for a second I didn't seem to mind that I'd agreed to marry him. Though I wasn't okay emotionally, I slowly nodded my head up and down and then wondered why he had even asked that.
"You should go to the bathroom for a moment."
"Wh…"
"Just trust me on this one."
Why was he sending me to the bathroom? I didn't have to go. I was perfectly fine. But since he had asked me to trust him, I decided to listen to him.
"I'll be waiting downstairs for you."
I nodded my head again and watched him run down the stairs. I slowly walked towards my room, as I remained confused as to why he was sending me to my bathroom. As soon as I reached my bathroom, I turned on the lights and for the first time was surprised to see nothing there. I closed the door behind myself and turned to stare at myself in the mirror. Nothing seemed off about me, besides the heartbroken expression on my face. I knew that wasn't why he had sent me to the bathroom though…it couldn't have been. I closed my eyes and remembered RK wrapping his arms around me as he brought up past memories. Then I remembered back to RK kissing my neck. Butterflies formed in my stomach until I remembered Adi placing my hair in front of me. My eyes shot open and I quickly moved my hair out of the way. Instant tears rolled out of my eyes as I saw a love mark where RK had sucked on my neck. I stared at it shocked and then fell to my knees. I sat in fetal position while leaning against the wall behind me. Did that mean Adi had seen it? Is that why he had placed my hair in front to hide it? How was he so okay with it? Nothing made sense to me. I closed my eyes and leaned my head forwards onto my knees. How could RK do that to me? Did he do it purposely…or was he caught up in the moment as I was? I sat on the ground for a few moments, trying to compose myself. Just as I felt I was good, I stood and fixed my makeup after wiping away at my tears. I applied makeup onto the love mark but still decided to hide it with my hair afterwards. I opened my bathroom door and froze as I saw RK sitting on my bed. He looked up at me, causing a chill to run down my spine. I looked away; avoiding tears, and began walking out of my room.
"I'm sorry."
I stopped in my steps and slowly turned to stare at him. His eyes were towards the ground as he spoke.
"I'm sorry for being late. I'm sorry for ruining what we once had. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sor…"
"Stop."
His eyes rose to look up at me. I stared at him with a straight face, holding in my tears. It took everything I had not to burst out into tears in front of him. I felt my heart beginning to race as he stared at me, waiting for me to speak. My heart refused to listen to my mind, but I spoke with the sternest voice possible.
"It's too late. Nothing can fix what's happened between us RK. Nothing."
I turned and ran out of my room. I had a party to get back to. If I went missing for too long, people would question Adi as to where I was and I knew he could only make excuses for so long. I recognized Adi from behind and wrapped my arms around him. I needed comforting. I needed someone's arms to hold me so I wouldn't break down into pieces. Since I couldn't run to RK anymore…Adi was all I had. He turned around in my embrace to stare at me. He took my face in his hands and stared directly into my eyes.
"Madhu? Are you alright…?"
I couldn't lie to him. I couldn't. I shook my head no and wrapped my arms around him again. I felt his arms wrap around me in response and I felt him sigh into my hair.
"I need to talk to you Madhu."
I went cold under the embrace as I wondered if he was going to question me about the love mark. I slowly pulled away to stare up at him and I noticed an apologetic expression on his face. He wrapped his arm around my waist and directed me back up the stairs. I thought he was going to take me into his room but wasn't surprised when he walked straight past it. I hadn't seen his room since I was eighteen. Back then it had been full of posters of rappers and girls. He was a typical teenage boy.
He took me into my room and turned on the light. We both stopped in our tracks as we became stunned at what we saw before us.
