RiMa OS- I'll Mend It...

~*~ I'LL MEND IT ~*~

"Superstar RK's Real Life going through love triangle...!" The headlines of the newspaper broke her from inside in a moment. Within a moment, her world turned upside down. She had read the newspaper thrice, in a hope of reading the name wrongly. But dejectedly, she read it correct. It was RK, her Rishabh. In spite of reading it thrice, she could not believe it. She fell on the nearby sofa. A tear rolled down her cheek and dropped on the photo of RK printed in the newspaper. She stared at the photo with her blurred vision- due to her tear brimmed eyes. "How could he?" She spoke with a broken, choked voice. Roma, who was standing beside her, hold her shoulders to comfort her. Madhu raised her head and looked towards Roma. "How could he do this to me, Roma? How?" And tears started profusely through her eyes. She felt defeated- lost her battle of love. Roma cupped her face and tried to console her but deep down; she knew nothing is going to sooth her broken soul. Bittuji stood there, helplessly seeing his Bhabhiji crying. "I tried a lot Bhabhiji that this news doesn't get media's attention but..." Madhu suddenly shifted her shocked gaze to Bittuji. "You knew it? You knew it Bittuji?" She felt cheated at that moment. "Bhabhiji, I... I..." "You knew it and you didn't tell me anything!! You too hid this from me!! How could you do this Bittuji?" Madhu shouted at him. "Bhabhiji, I thought it will end soon but..." He tried to explain. "But it didn't...!! Right? My life was spoiling every minute you didn't even bother to tell me anything!!" "Bhabhiji, I thought it will disturb you that's why I..." "That is why you kept your mouth shut and let your Chief do what he wants, let him cheat on me..!" She spoke furiously. He was unable to face her rage filled red eyes. A silent blew for a moment. She quickly wiped her wet cheeks. "I will not let it happen!!" She spoke determinately. "I'll not let him break our relation like this... He can't do this to me!! I'll not let him cheat on my love!!" And she grabbed the newspaper in her hands and barged out of her house. "Glycerine, Stop!" "Bhabhiji, please stop!" Roma and Bittuji tried to stop her but she went quickly. "Bittuji, please go behind her! She is not in her senses... Please go!!" And he left immediately to stop her.

Madhu barged into the Mansion hall. Radha, Paabo and Deepali were sitting there in the hall when they saw her. "Madhu!!" Radha called her with a shocking smile. But she didn't stop as if she had locked all her ear doors, to not to listen to anybody except RK. She quickly ran upstairs to his room with a rage in her walk. In the room, he was sitting on his couch, with a vine filled glass in one hand and a bottle in another. Suddenly, he inhaled a fragrant filled air. He felt her presence, he moved his gaze in her direction and a small smile crept on his dried lips. He got up from the couch. Till then she reached near him and threw the newspaper on his face. He opened his eyes in a shock. "What is this RK?" She asked him furiously. He narrowed his eyes in confusion and looked down to see the paper lying on the ground. He picked it up and opened to read. His narrowed eyes shot opened in a shock to read the headline. "How dare you RK?" He looked at her anger filled eyes. And she slapped him. "How dare you? How did you even think of doing this to me Mr Kundra?" Madhu glared at him in disgust. He shifted his angered look to her. "Was our love, our bond so weak that you went to another woman?? You didn't even think of our relation, of ME for a second RK? How..." "Why should I?" He cut her off. "Why should I think of you Madhubala? Why should I think of our relation? Did you think of it when you decided to leave this house, to leave me, your husband?" He snapped back in the same shrilled voice. "That time, did you think about our love, did you care about me? NO... A BIG NO, Madhubala!! You only cared about yourself!!" Madhu was staring him in a shock. She could not believe, the man who was barking so harshly with such bitter words was her RK. "You didn't even try to understand me and left me all alone!" "Did you try to stop me RK?" She asked him in disgust. "Why should I do that? When my wife, my love is not ready to understand me then why should I do that? And why are you angry? What wrong have I done? When I needed a companion, a friend to be there for me, Devika gave me that hand... NOT YOU!!" He blurted out his anger. "And you accepted that hand and threw yourself in her arms... Right?" She gave him an averted look. "Madhu!!" He shouted to the top. "SHUT UP Mr KUNDRA!!" She gave him back. "I agree, our relation was going through tough times. Our trust on each other was losing its base but... Our love... RK, our love was still strong... At least my love was that much strong to mend everything!! But you... you destroyed it! You trusted on some random girl whom you met a few days back, more than our love!" Madhu grabbed his collar tightly. "Did you ever realize how much pain you have given me till now? You have hurted me a zillion times but still... still I never questioned your love RK! I NEVER BETRAYED OUR LOVE!! Shame on you RK!!" She left his collar in a jerk, pushing him back slightly. Tears were shedding profusely through her eyes and she didn't try to wipe them up. She gathered herself and spoke, "You know what RK, for the first time I feel ashamed of my love... Your love!!" And she broke down. RK tried to touch her but before he could do so, she ran from there. Down the stairs, Madhu was about to leave the house when Radha called her. "Please don't go Madhu!" "Nothing is left Maa! Your Rishu has left nothing in our relation that could be taken care of!!" And she quickly left from there leaving behind crying Radha.

In his room, RK was sitting on his couch, holding the paper in his hands, staring at the headline. Her words were ringing in his ears. "I didn't do anything wrong Madhu!" He muttered. "Oh God! Why did I let her go? Why did I do this?" He ran his palm on his face in frustration. "How could I even think like that? How could I question my love... her love... our love? Why did I lose hope in our relation so easily?" Tears started forming in his eyes. He crushed the paper in his hands and threw it aside. Suddenly, his phone rang. He grabbed it and saw the screen. It was Devika. Her name made him frustrated more. He grinded his teeth and received the call. "Hello!" "Hey RK! How are you?" Devika spoke in a sexy voice. "What do you want?" He replied unwillingly. "Ahh... I just want to ask, are you coming in the evening at my place?" "NO!!" RK immediately replied without thinking for a second. "What? But RK..." He hanged up the phone before she could complete her sentence. He quickly got up from the couch, "I can't lose you Madhu!! I can't !! I have made a mistake... a huge mistake, but I'll make it up to you in any way...!" And he gathered himself and quickly went out.

In the Chawl, Madhu walked into the house lifelessly. Roma quickly ran towards her. She shook her to get her out of her trance. Madhu stared at her and a tear fell from her eyes. She threw herself in her arms and cried her heart out. "I lost it Roma!! I lost him!!" She cried badly, clutching her kurta tightly. Roma tried to console her. After some time, Roma made her asleep; she had got tired of crying for long time. In the evening, she got up suddenly. She looked around and saw Roma packing her clothes in a bag. "Glycerine... You woke up! I was just about to wake you up." She caressed her head. "Now, how are you feeling?" She asked lovingly. Madhu smiled slightly. "Madhu, I had got a call from the production that we have an outdoor shift for three days. So, I have to go there right now..." Roma told her. Madhu got up from the bed and spoke, "Don't worry Roma. I'll be fine here. You go and do your work properly." "Are you sure Madhu?" Madhu nodded affirmatively. After few minutes, Roma left for the shoot. Madhu closed the door and went to the kitchen to prepare for the dinner.

After few hours, at night, she heard some commotion outside. She got up from the bed and went to see. She opened the door and got shocked. RK was standing outside with the Chawl people standing behind him. She looked around to see the people talking about them. She glared at RK for a moment and moved aside to let him come in. He came inside and she quickly closed the door. After few minutes, the commotion settled down outside the door. Both were standing few steps apart. RK was continuously staring at her but she was not ready to meet his gaze. After few moments, she broke the silence, "Why are you here?" "To beg you forgive me!" He spoke immediately. She turned to him with her eyes shot open. "What?" RK slowly moved towards her. "Madhu!" His calm voice melted her dried tears again. And a tear rolled down. "Madhu, I know I have made a mistake but... Please trust me, She is just my friend nothing else... I have no other relation with her... Trust me!" Madhu stayed mum, looking down with her tears flowing out. RK held her shoulders softly and said, " I know, I am wrong and what I have done is not worth of your pardon but please Madhu... Give me one chance!" He pleaded. Madhu raised her hand slowly and removed his hands from her shoulders. "You've destroyed everything RK... I have nothing to give you... not even sorry!" And she turned her face, trying to hold her tears. "Please leave from here! Please!" RK's heart skipped a beat in disappointment. His heart was in a denial mode to accept the fact that his Madhu wants him to go away from her. He gathered himself somehow, "No... I am not going anywhere!" Hearing this, Madhu's face straightened. "I'll not go from here until you forgive me Madhu!" She turned to face him in anger. "And you know very well Mr Kundra I am not going to do that ever... There is no point in this conversation. Just leave!" She declared. RK stared at her for a moment and suddenly barged out of the house slamming the door behind him.

Next day, Madhu came out in the balcony, drying her wet hair with the towel. She put the towel to dry up on the railing when something caught her eye. She saw RK sitting under the tree in the veranda, playing with the Chawl kids. Madhu got shocked to see him there, and playing with the kids too. RK looked up to see her. He gave her a smirk and flew his fingers to tease her. She fumed and immediately went downstairs. She went near him and spoke furiously, "What are you doing here RK? And why are you here and that too in the early morning?" RK grinned in response which made her fume more. One kid pulled her kurta slightly, she bent to listen him, "Didi, he has not come in the morning. Superstar is staying there!" And the kid pointed towards the room in the ground floor. Madhu immediately glared at RK in shock. He responded her glare with a sexy smirk. "Kidoos and Kiddies... Go and play your snake and ladder there and let me talk to your Glycerine Didi... Ok!" He addressed the kids and all of them ran from there. "RK! What is this? Why are you doing all this?" She asked in disgust. RK stood up and moved towards her, getting close to her. He raised his finger and slided her hair strand behind her ear. "Biwi!" His voice skipped her heartbeat for a second. "You know it very well..." And he smirked. "And you know very well that I am not going to forgive you Mr Kundra... So, do whatever you want to do but you'll not get it..!" And she turned immediately causing wet her hair to get into his eyes. "Biwi... I challenge you... You'll forgive me till evening and come back home with me!!" He shouted. Madhu turned while walking, "NEVER..!!" and went back to her room. RK smiled at the cute antic of his Biwi.

Whole day, Madhu didn't come out of her room to look for him. She could hear his voice, his shouts while playing with the children, people shouting for one click with him but she didn't bother to go out. Entire day, she paced here and there to pacify herself but nothing helped. In the evening, a kid knocked at the door. Madhu opened the door in frustration, "What?" "Didi, Superstar is saying he is hungry. He wants you to make his food, specially that half burnt Gobhi! Bring it soon!" And he ran from there like a bullet. Hearing this, a small smile crept over her lips but she immediately flew it away and fumed. "Then tell your Superstar that I am not going to make anything. Let him stay starving!!" She shouted such that her voice could be heard by RK. Hearing her voice, he simply smiled. After few minutes, Madhu came out of the room, and acted like checking the clothes whether they dried or not. She looked at RK through the corner of her eyes. And RK noticed it and caught his ears in response making a puppy face. For a moment, his face melted her heart but her rage immediately overpowered it. She went inside her room banging the door.

After a while, she came downstairs with a plate of food in her hands. She knocked at the door of RK's room. His face lighted with a broad smile on seeing his Biwi with the food. Madhu didn't give him any expression and went inside. She put the plate on the table and turned to leave. RK held her hand and said, "Please, enough now Madhu! I said I am sorry! Please forgive me now!" He spoke lazily. Madhu turned to face him in anger. "Correct! It's enough now!! Here is your food... Eat it and leave!!" And she turned again. "Madhu please! I admit my mistake that I gave up to the situation so easily. But, every mistake deserves a chance!" She glared at him in disgust. "Chance... Mistake... You call it as a mistake RK? You made our relation a joke and you call it a mistake?" Madhu spoke furiously. "And how many times I'll forgive you Mr Kundra? Every time you make hurt me and every time I, being a fool, forgive you in the name of love. But I guess, you have taken my pardon for granted. And for your kind information, what you have done this time is not a mistake!!" Tears started to form in her eyes. "First you questioned a mom's dignity!! You accused me as a murderer RK... a murderer... of my own child! How could you say so? Didn't your tongue shiver for a moment? My baby was my dream RK and I wanted it to be our dream but you..." She could not hold her tears now. They started to make their way out through her cheeks. RK was unable to look into her eyes. "And then you accused my love!! You questioned my love, my trust, and my duties and went to another woman... Cheee!!" He could easily see a deep repugnance in her eyes. "No madhu! I admit I met her many times but I have no relation with her except of humanity, of being a friend!" "Friend? What I read in the newspaper is just friendship RK? What Bittuji told me that you spend your evening with her, is that friendship? You talked to her about our relation, our love, is this your loyalty towards me RK?" Her eyes were filled with questions. Tears of repentance started to wet his eyes. "I know I have messed up everything Madhu! I have no right to do so! Madhu... I know I did wrong by accusing you for the miscarriage but I was not in my senses that time and... when you left; it made me completely insane and broke me from inside...!" RK was trying hard to hold back his tears but at last they denied listening to him and started shedding out. "You were the only one with whom I could share my sorrows with but you were not there and when I met Devika, I thought I found a friend but... trust me Madhu! I never cheated on you... never!! Please trust me!!" His words stunned Madhu. She kept on looking into his eyes, to search for the truth and she found it too. RK held her hands firmly and pleaded, "Please trust me Madhu! I had, I do and I will always love only you! Please trust me! I am sorry!" A silence blew there for a moment. "Can your sorry darn my wounds RK?" She asked him softly. RK stared into her eyes with repentance. "NO... It can't!!" He replied looking down. She stared at his face blankly. "But... My love can!! My love will repair all your wounds Madhu! I promise, I'll give you so much love that all the pain that I had inflicted on your soul, in your heart will get healed. MY LOVE WILL MEND EVERYTHING !! Give me one chance, please!!" His words melted her heart and she felt some of her heart ache diminishing away. She stayed mum. "I am begging you a chance because you are the only one in this world who can forgive me always, who can accept me with all my flaws and who can love me even in anger... Please Madhu!" His wet eyes were pleading more than his words and Madhu could see it. She raised her hand and caressed his face lovingly and gave him a teary smile. He got his answer and pulled her in his embrace. They hugged each other so tightly as if there was no tomorrow- with a promise to love, to trust and to be there for each other till eternity...
