*****************************FLASHBACK****************************
5 years ago,
On Madhu's birthday, due to Madhu's continuous persistence her parents went together to buy the gift she asked for. Her mother had suggested that she can have the gift some other day but she was so adamant that she wanted the gift on that day itself. Since Mukund went to get her birthday cake, the duo couple went to collect her gift. It was late night still the old couple didn't return. Then they heard police along with ambulance van heading towards their home. They had met with an accident and their bodies were identified to be Mr. & Mrs. Malik. All the formalities were done and mourning was conducted on the following day itself. That incident shook Madhu to a greater extent and she went into a deep depression. The next day Mukund took Madhu from mumbai to delhi to give her a change of surrounding and they started their live anew. Madhu started with her studies and slowly recovered from the depression and Mukund joined a B-School.
---------------------------------
3 years ago,
Mukund and Madhu returned to Mumbai thinking that Mukund will join his family business with Abhay, and continue their relation both personal and professional with the kapoors as his father did and Madhu will join college. After 2 years of exile, life was again back to normal for both the maliks as time healed and convinced them to make peace with their parent's death.
Trishna was Madhu's only best friend in college. Madhu loved to go to the Kundra mansion since radha and mohan treated her like their own daughter. The love she missed due to her parent's sudden demise was taken care of by them.
There she met Rishab. It was love at first sight for both of them. After a year long standing affair, one day Rishab broke all ties with Madhu and not even cared to tell her the reason behind it. It took a long time for her to forget RK and move on in life. Only trishna knew about this. Since her dada was with her that time, she recovered from that emotional breakdown also and moved on in life.
------------------------------------
1 month ago,
Madhu was nervously pacing inside the room knotting her fingers.
Madhu to herself: "What will I tell dada? How will I ask for permission? I want to go for the farewell day but without his permission how will I go? I don't know why dada is pestering to leave this place and go back to delhi. That time I understand, we needed a change of place, but why now???? I love Mumbai. I have enjoyed my college life here but it is also true that dada seem a little tensed over the past few days. What could be the reason?? I have never seen dada like this before? Could it be some work tension...gosh I have to get permission from dada for Party somehow."
Mukund :"Madhu..."
Madhu :"Coming dada"
Both Mukund and Madhu sat quietly for their dinner.
Mukund(determined) :"Madhu, take me seriously we need to leave this place as soon as possible... if possible today itself or at least early morning tomorrow."
Madhu(concerned) :"Dada what's the matter?. Whatever be it please tell me."
Mukund(not looking at Madhu) :"There is nothing like that Madhu. I just want a change of place. So after dinner we are leaving"
Madhu(pleading) :"Dada I have my farewell party tomorrow and I want to attend it. Can we stay here at least until tomorrow evening?"
After lot of pleases from Madhu's side and lots of uhmm from Mukund's side they both agree on leaving the place by next day evening.
-----------------------------
Madhu was practicing for her dance at the farewell party when she hears a buzz on her phone. She picks up the phone to see an unknown number.
Madhu (confused):"Hello"
Mukund(in a whisper) :"Madhu..."
Madhu :"Dada..."
Mukund(desperation with fear) :"LISTEN... THERE IS NO TIME FOR TALKING OR ARGUMENTS... GO HOME. NOW. I will be reaching home in another half an hour. we are leaving this place right now."
Madhu :"But da..."
And the line went dead. Even though Madhu is pissed at Mukund, she somewhere is convinced that something is really wrong which made her dada to make an instant decision. She decides to listen to him and she leaves the place the next moment and reaches home with in 15 minutes and does her final packing before the arrival of Mukund. After about 10-15 mintes she hears a horn sound and she knew it to be her dada and she watches her dada's car enter the gates from her window. Within a blink of eye
**BOOM**
The car in which Mukund came blasted into a 1000 pieces before her eyes and she screamed at the top of her voice DADA... and she came running towards the premises
----------------------------
Madhu was sitting on a chair, has not recovered from the shock which shook her a few hours before. Abhay Kapoor, was helping her with a glass of water, patting and consoling her, asking her to cry and overcome the shock of her dada's death but it was very difficult for a 20 year old girl to forget a blast which happened in front of her eyes and that too which took the life of the only beloved for her in this world. After sometime she could hear a commotion at her door step and after sometime a few policemen came inside and sat near her.
Abhay(furiously) : "Please leave her alone. For god's sake she is not in a position to..."
Policeman : "Sorry sir... but we need to proceed with the investigation. We definitely understand the situation but we cant help it. Its our duty. We promise that we wont take more than 10 minutes"
They fired several questions before and all she could do was to sit like a statue, unable to digest the fact that her brother is no more. Sighing heavily the officers took leave promising that they will return tomorrow probably when she recovers from the shock.
-----------------------------
Abhay : "I will stay with you today"
Madhu: "I don't want anybody near me. I am always alone and that is how it should be. LEAVE.ME.ALONE."
Abhay: "But Madhu how will you stay here alone?"
Madhu: "Like I have a choice."
Abhay after failing to convince her about the matter returns home, sighing defeatedly.
----------------------------
Madhu walks inside her room towards the large portrait of her family. She slowly caresses the faces of her father, mother and brother in the portrait. Tears welled up on her eyes.
"Its all my fault. Its all coz of me. Had I not pestered my mom and dad to get my gift on that day I wouldn't have lost them in an accident and also if I had agreed to go with my dada yesterday I wouldn't have either lost him."
Suddenly the pain is too much to bear and she turns away from the portrait and she digs her face inside her palms and cries heartily.
"Today I lost everything in my life. I am an orphan..." and she lies on the floor.
--------------------------------
Madhu was lying on the floor of her room when suddenly she heard a sound from outside her room. She woke up with the noise and decided to follow suit. She opened the door of her room and peeked outside. She scanned the entire house to see small source of light (not very bright) coming from her dada's room. She thought that she had forgotten to switch off some lights in her dada's room and she moved towards it. When she opened the door she was too shocked to see two men inside the room... one standing near the window so as to escape and the other little far from it. Out of these two, one's face was covered and the other's was not and she recognized the uncovered face.
He was none other than Rishab Kundra. The three of them looked at each other and at the moment of the distraction the one near the window escapes. RK sighs heavily on seeing this and he also reaches the window and Madhu was too shocked to even react. Before jumping off the window he turns towards her and gives a flying kiss followed by a wink and jumps off and Madhu gives a stunned gasp.
Madhu: "Hey... Rishab... Rishab Kundra...(to herself) why is he here?? what was he doing at this moment in my house? What will I do now? Whom will I call now? I think I have to contact Abhay now."
She picks up her phone and dials Abhay's no. and surprisingly she hears the ringtone in her house itself. After couple of minutes, Abhay enters the room and she is quite surprised to see Abhay in her house at this hour
Madhu(confused): "Hey how come you are here?... You are such a mess. What happened?"
Abhay(slurring): "Actually... uhmmm... Madhu... I ... ya I just dropped here... to check on you"
Madhu: "Check on me? Why would you do that?"
Abhay: "Madhu actually I was not able to sleep..."
Madhu(ordering): "Leave it.(sloshing her hands before his face) Listen to what I have to say. A few minutes before I was in my room when I heard a sound from this room. I came to check and I saw two people: one of them was standing near the window and the other was standing near the wardrobe. Once face was covered and the others face was not. I recognized the uncovered face and it was none other than Rishab Kundra..."
Abhay: "You mean... the famous industrialist Mohan Kundra's son, Rishab Kundra"
Madhu: "The very same"
Abhay: "But why was he here? You both were in love once, right?"
Madhu: "Ya"
Abhay: "But why would he come here now? Everything between you and him was over, right"
Madhu(determined): "YES"
Abhay: " WHATEVER Madhu. But now I cant let you on your own. Tomorrow you are moving to my house and we are getting married as soon as possible."
Madhu: "I cant marry you now. I just lost my dada."
Abhay: "Come on Madhu. Your dada himself wanted us to be together. He would be more than happy to see you married rather than alone."
Madhu: "Give me sometime to think"
Abhay (with finalty): "ok but tomorrow you are moving to my home and that's final."
---------------------------------
A week later Abhay left no stone unturned to convince Madhu to marry him and after much thinking and internal struggle she finally agrees to it. The marriage preparation was going at the earnest. Days before marriage Madhu was little nervous, a bit feared and felt lonely as 2 mysteries were unsolved before her.
1. Her dada's death. A blast. Who wants her dada's life??? When she overcame the grief of her dada's death, this question has constantly nagged her.
2. What was RK doing in my dada's room? We were over before 2 years and his sudden entry into my life is very mysterious and that too on the day of my dada's death. Are they interconnected?????
***************************FLASHBACK OVER*************************
She takes the photo of her family and tears swim up in her eyes.
"I hope everything goes well in my life from now on. I don't want to lose anyone in my life now. I have lost enough. Please Mumma, Papa and dada give me blessings for a good life."
She caresses the photo and suddenly she senses someone standing behind her. She turns around to face the person and was shocked out of her wits to see Rishab smirking at her. Before she could scream, he covers her face with a piece of cloth and after a bit of struggle she becomes unconscious.
----------------------------------
Madhu wakes up heaven knows after how long. She finds herself in a dimly lit room and she was lying in a 4 poster bed. Sleepily she scans the room to find no one. Suddenly a hand falls on her waist. Her eyes pops out to see the man who kidnapped her was sleeping near her. She sloshes off his hand and gets out of the bed. She searches for the switches and puts on the light. The sudden flash disturbs RK's sleep and he lifts his head to see a confused Madhu glaring murderously at him.
RK(sleepily): "What happened baby? Why are you up at this hour?"
Madhu(angrily): "What? YOU. YOU Bloody *^%$#$%^*#$%^. Why did you bring me here? How can you even kidnap me and that too a day before my marriage? Why did you bring me here? TELL ME NOW. Why were you in my house that day?"
RK(stretching his hands and twisting and turning in bed): "Can't we have the conversation sometime tomorrow. I am too tired baby. I have done lots of work today. I need some sleep to calm my muscles."
RK goes back to sleep as if nothing happened and Madhu was shocked by his behavior
Madhu(pacing to and fro with fury): "How can he be such a cheap... jerk... how am I going to?"
RK(in between sleep): "Don't even think of running away from this house. This house is situated in the middle of the forest and at this time there will be wolves and other wild animals around and remember I won't come to save you if you try to run away and get caught by them."
Saying this he goes to deep slumber digging his face on the mattress with a pillow over his head. Madhu felt an instant urge to kill him for his behavior. Since she was not able to do that she created a mess in the room.
Madhu (looking at RK and pointing at him): "What kind of man you are Rishab Kundra. I am pretty happy that nothing worked between us otherwise it would have been hell for me to live with you... (to herself) What you expect Madhu, this insensitive jerk doesn't have any feeling or responsibilities towards his own family then how can you expect him to have such things for you. But of all these days why today? Why did he come back in my life? Is it just to make my life hell? Oh God! How am I gonna escape from him? Whatever it is I have to think some way tomorrow."
-------------------------------------
RK was the first one to wake between the duo since Madhu slept much later at night. When he got up he freshens himself and gets breakfast for both and wakes her up but RK finds Madhu in a bad temper in addition to murderous glares.
RK(coolly): "Refresh yourself and have breakfast"
Madhu(entwining her hands) : "I want to go home and don't even dare to change the subject. I.WANT.TO.GO.HOME.NOW"
RK: "Sweetheart you are not going anywhere. So stop your fighting and try to cope up with me."
Madhu (confused): "Cope up with you? What the Hell? I want my answers Rishu. You know my questions very well. Answer them."
RK: "I am not answerable to you."
Madhu: "Well now you are since it concerns me"
RK turns on his heel and heads towards the door.
Madhu (screaming literally): "Why am I even talking and to whom I am talking? How can I forget about the achievements of the great Rishab Kundra who forgot to attend his own mother's funeral...who broke a girl's heart without any reason...who has not seen his own sister for over a year now... who has got no feelings towards any human in this world... not even towards his own family."
RK(screaming): "What did you say?"
Madhu: "I didn't say anything wrong."
RK comes near her and grabs her shoulders angrily.
RK: "How can you say such cruel things about me. Madhu, how can you forget anything between us? How can you even have cheap thoughts about me?"
Madhu: "There is nothing between you and me. Rishu, the man doesn't have any feelings for his mother doesn't stand a place in my heart. And don't you forget you broke all ties with me. So cut the crap."
RK pushes her hardly on the bed and leaves the room like a lightning.
Madhu to herself : " I forgot everything? I am being cruel? How can he say such things to me when he was the one who left me. Till now I am struggling with those memories. Our first kiss, our first makeout. I always sensed passion in his kiss for me. Never knew that it was all just for physical pleasure. Even today I saw the same passion in his eyes. No madhu, it's just your thought. If he really loved you then he would have never asked you to get out of his life just like that. That too without telling an appropriate reason. If his love was true, then he would have tried to contact me one way or the other in this 2 years but he never did that... he never loved me... He cheated me... he came into my life to kill me slowly... I hate you Rishab...i ..hate you " (and she cries profusely)
--------------------------------
Madhu cried herself to sleep, probably at midnight something wakes her up. she hears the sound of someone stumbling on the floor and she scrambles up in time to see RK, with a bottle in his hand, stagger through the door and his eyes were red probably with anger and fury and he was gritting his teeth giving her a murderous glare. Step by step he slowly goes near her stumbling, staggering and slurring.
RK (slurring but showing his anger): "Howww... dare youuu... accuse me of something so cheap? I thought you love me Madhu... love me. But your... accusations tore my heart apart. Isss... that what you think about me? Youuu... think I have no feelings towards my family and you. I stayed away from you and still stay away from them becoz I love you and them and I don't want to endanger all your lives."
Madhu(shocked) : "what?? What do you mean?? How is your leaving me has got anything to do with my life??"
RK(keeps his finger on her lips) : " shhh So if you say anything against me from now on, I am going to forget what you are to me and will kill you with my own hands (gestures as though he will break the bottle on her head and Madhu screams in fear.) GOT IT . ANSWER ME."
Madhu nods her head and after saying this RK passes out completely and Madhu stares at him with fear. For a minute she forgets everything between them and she goes near him. Whatever be it she sensed sincerity in his words. With great efforts she lifts him from the floor and makes him lie on the bed. She tries to undress him and while she was removing his jacket his mobile falls from its pocket. On seeing the mobile Madhu's demeanor changes and she becomes conscious of the fact that she needs to escape this place while RK is unconscious. She takes the mobile and for a second she gets confused on whom to contact and finally she decides on Abhay. She dials his number and he answers the call in the 4th ring.
Abhay :"Hello"
Madhu :"Abhay...its me Madhu"
Abhay :"Madhu where are you? Where have you gone?"
Madhu :"Rishab... He has kidnapped me."
Abhay :"R...Rishab kidnapped you. Where are you?"
Madhu :"I don't know. I am in a house probably in the middle of a forest."
Abhay :"Don't worry Madhu I will reach asap."
RK stirs in his sleep and Madhu cuts the call in a hurry, deletes the call from the list, throws the mobile on the bed near him and pretends as though nothing happened.
Madhu to herself: "Oh God! I hope he uses his stalking capabilities well and reaches me before he wakes up"
---------------------------
8 hours later
She is pacing to and fro with tension of not seeing Abhay and prays to god to send him before RK wakes up and takes her away without any brawl. After much waiting she hears a sound from outside. She happily runs towards the door and opens it. She finds Abhay coming stealthily into the house with a gun in his hand. On seeing him she becomes happy and runs towards him screaming his name. Madhu hugs him tightly for a minute. After breaking the hug...
Madhu :"He is drunk. He is upstairs. Let's go fast. I don't want a scene. Abhay why are you alone? I thought you will come with help... I mean police."
Abhay :"Madhu it could be dangerous. What if he comes to know?"
Madhu :"hmmm leave it lets go fast"
Abhay :"Madhu, wait I need to sort out certain things with him... after that we will go."
After saying that he caresses her cheeks and though she doesn't understand what he was saying she half heartedly agrees to it. Entwining their hands together and gathering courage they both head upstairs towards RK's room. RK was still lying unconscious on his bed. Abhay reaches for a glass of water and sprinkles on his face and RK gets up from his sleep and is shocked to see Abhay in his house. What shocked him more was the fact that Madhu was standing with him and a whisper escapes his mouth "oh no". He lazily gets up from the bed and stands up.
Abhay: "I think its time we end the hide and seek game between us Rishab. Give me the file."
RK(Smirking): "You are a fool , Abhay. What makes you think that I would give you the file?"
Abhay(mirroring his smirk): "I know you don't value your life but I also know that you do value her life (he points the gun at Madhu. Madhu who was confusedly listening to their conversation was shocked to the core and she gapes at Abhay with her mouth wide open. Disappointedly RK also does the same. Madhu tries to scream but only a stunned gasp escapes her mouth). NOW MOVE."
RK (gritting his teeth) : " LET HER GO."
Abhay (laughing at his anger) : " surprised that I know about your affair with her. While you were busy collecting information about me, I was also doing the same about you. I have to admit that RK, you are brilliant in your work. In spite of my innumerable attempts to stay alert, you managed to see the real me. I knew you were behind me for the past 6 months and you collected all details about my 2nd business and all proofs to sentence me to a lifetime imprisonment. You were far more brilliant than I expected a DIA (Defense Intelligence Agent) to be.
I was always successful in hiding everything from Mukund. Everything was going fine till you came into my life and made it hell. You occupied my mind completely and I made some terrible mistakes. As a result, Mukund came to know about it. I was left with no choice other than to kill him."
Madhu (howling in anger and struggling in his arms) : " you bas***d. You killed my dada. I will..."
Abhay (coolly and shrugging): " it's not that I don't love you or Mukund. But Madhu what to do? I love myself more. And when it came to choosing, I chose myself."
RK used this moment of distraction for planning his action. He runs and then skates on his knees and reaches Abhay and Madhu in a second . Before Abhay could point the gun at him, he kicks on his knees and Abhay falls on his stomach on the floor. RK manages to grabs his hands and twist it and the gun falls from Abhay's hands. He kicks the gun off to a farthest position. Then he makes Abhay to stand and grabs his little finger and twists it back, pulling it sharply down backward to his hip. Abhay cries out in pain and RK brings his knee, swift and hard, up into his groin and make perfect contact with his goal and Abhay collapses on to the floor, grasping himself between his legs.
RK (through gritted teeth) : " that was for pointing gun at my Madhu.(turning towards Madhu) get me the hand cuffs from that drawer(points to the drawer with his chin)."
After getting him down, RK immediately called the officers and requested the officers to take the necessary actions.
RK (softly) : " I never wanted you to know any of these. Don't tell anyone. Even my family members don't know this. My life is always endangered Madhu. I want you to lead a peaceful life. So...
Madhu(runs towards him and hugs and kisses him on his lips) : " you killed me once. Don't kill me once again by asking me to go away from you. PLZ."
RK : " Madhu I (and Madhu kisses him on his lips senselessly and after a few moments he also kisses her back) are you sure about this?? (he hugs her tightly to his chest)."
Madhu (nodding her head and nuzzling his chest) : "so you are a DIA. I thought you were born to kill me in life but you turned out to be my savior. I LOVE YOU."
RK(smiling heartily) : " I LOVE YOU TOO."
Madhu (questioningly): " so this is why you stay away from your family. Will you stay away from me also after marriage?"
RK(determined) : " YES"
----------------------------
5 years later,
Madhu was running inside the house here and there as the time was 8:45.
Madhu to herself: " Oh God! Its 8:45. The bus will be here in 15 minutes.(and she shouted loudly) Rudhra, Its time for breakfast. Come down fast beta. The bus will come in another 5 minutes."
Rudhra: "Coming Mom."
She heard the door open immediately and the smell of his perfume reached moments before he came into view.
Madhu to herself: "He is an exact replica of his Papa. This is his favorite perfume. He smells exactly like my honey."
Rudhra(as he pulled the chair and sat on it): "Mom you told me papa will come today right. Pakkana he will come."
Madhu(hesitating): "Of Course. He will come today."
Rudhra(pouting and keeping rotis on his plate): "Mom you have been saying this for the past 2 years. Till now he didn't come to meet me. You know Mom you can share your secrets with me. I am a big boy now. I am 4 years old now and tomorrow I will be 5. That reminds me what the plans are for tomorrow?"
Madhu: "(to herself) I think he is aged beyond his age. His behavior, talking everything and even his eating habits are like my Rishab. Look how he eats. (Facing Rudhra she says) You think I will disclose my plan."
Rudhra: "Oh Come on Mom I am the birthday boy. You can't keep me away from the plan."
Madhu: "We can have this talk after your school. Now go wash your hands. The bus will be here any minute."
Suddenly they heard the horn indicating the arrival of bus.
Rudhra(taking his bag and running towards the door): "Bye Mom and when I come back, I want to see my Dad."
Madhu to herself: "How will I tell him that his father wont come today also. When he returns back from school I will have to think of something to distract him."
Saying this she went into the kitchen for preparing something special for her son. She hears a door bell and she opens the door to find Rishab standing there with his luggage.
Madhu (happily hugs him) : " Rishu, you came back. You remembered our son's birthday."
RK (sheepishly) : " no I don't remember that. SORRY, madhu."
Madhu (sadly) : " then how come you are here at this time of year."
RK (pouting) : " oh that I took VRS."
Madhu (not believing her ears) : " you took VRS."
RK : " now move baby. I need to freshen up and get some presents for my baby."
As Rudhra expected, his birthday was celebrated grandly with both his parents. Rudhra was in 9th cloud seeing his father on his birthday. Late at night, madhu stretches her hands to find rishu's side of the bed to be empty. Confused, she switches ON the side table lamp, puts on her dress and searches for RK. RK was on his phone in the balcony.
RK : " sir, as decided, I publicly took VRS...Now I would like to know more about my work...sure sir...i will meet him tomorrow...thank you sir."
Madhu (Rk hangs the phone and madhu questions him) : " so you are still in it."
RK(smirking evilly) : " can't leave such adventurous work baby. My work is my first wife."
Madhu (pouting) : " so you would choose your work over Rudhra and me."
RK : " neither my work keeps me warm at night nor it lights smile on my face by calling me papa'. But from now on, you and Rudhra are staying with me only. I am not going anywhere. We are moving to Kundra Mansion."
Madhu : " is it? Papa and trishna will be so happy hearing this news. I am also dying to meet papa, Trishna, Sikky and Eva, their cutie pie."
Nodding RK takes her lips in his and carries her in his arms and moves towards their bedroom and once again they are lost in each other.
