"DEAL"
Suddenly Deepali saw RK walking in he corridor looking for them...and said.
Deepali: Oh no...RK is coming here
Sultan looked at him and they both broke their handshake...and the RK saw them satnding between the corridor...and walked towards them
RK: Hey guys.
Deepali: So have you completed your assignment?
RK: Not yet...but I just wanted to say.
Deepali interuppted in between she thought that he wanted to appologise for his behaviour and she said.
Deepali: I knew you will realise your mistake...it's okay RK.
RK: Yes Deepali I know I was rude...but.
Deepali: But what?
RK: But you should be careful with your words...you can't treat her like that...and i know what you said to her in the morning...please Deepali...Our chapters is over and we are good friends now...so please stop talking about us both in front of her or anyone else...and sorry for my behaviour.
And he went from there leaving Deepali even more angry.

PART - 6
And he came back to Madhu...and she asked him
Madhu: What happened RK?? You ran so quickly out of the class...is everything fine
RK: Umm...Ye...Yes Madhu...don't worry. (He stammered while saying)
Madhu: RK...tell me...what happened.
RK: Nothing Madhu
Madhu: RK? (she looked straight into his eyes)
RK: Okay I will but you tell me first...are you happy with my friendship with Sultan and Deepali?
Madhu gave it a thought for few seconds and then she replied
Madhu: Ummm...Honestly I don't like either of them but that doesn't mean I have something major problem with them but why are you asking...and I don't know why does Deepali is always offended of me...I mean I have never ever talked rudely with her but she always behaves like this.
RK: Ya...she has always been a stubborn girl that's why...don't worry gradually everything will get fine. (he tried to make clear out everything he could)
Madhu nodded.
*******************************
After few days RK and Madhu were in his car when someone called RK...he looked at his phone and turned the ring into a silent mode...Madhu noticed this but she didn't bother...and after few seconds again his phone beeped and he did the same thing again...and this time Madhu asked
Madhu: RK who is it...just pick it up na
RK: Umm no one Madhu forget it.
Madhu: Arre but...(And again his phone beeped and This time when he was about to keep it on silent mode Madhu snatched his phone and saw it)
"Ma calling"
RK: Madhu give it back
Madhu: RK it's your Mother.
RK: Oh Really I thought it's a spam call from some Marketing company that's why "MA" is flashing...ofcousre Madhu I know it's my mother.
Madhu: Then why aren't you picking up?
RK: I will call back her afterwards.
Madhu: No you will call her right now.
RK: Madhu can't you see I am driving.
Madhu: Oh Mr. Driver you can stop the car if you want...but you will call her right now.
RK: Fine!
He stopped the car and Madhu gave him the phone back...and asked him to put it on speaker as she wanted to hear Mother son talks for fun.
RK: Oh no please I will not do this.
Madhu: RK (she glared at him)
And he called back his mother.
Radhaji: Hello...Rishu...where are you...I have been calling you continuosly why weren't you picking up your phone...are you fine Rishu...tell me Rishu..why aren't you speaking.
Madhu was all suprised listening to RK's mother as she didn't even took a break between a sentence.
Rishu: Relax sexy relax...I am fine...and if you will let me then only I can speak na.
Radhaji: Ok Rishu now tell me why were you not picking up the phone
Madhu looked at RK and laughed silently and teased him "Rishu"...and RK got a little bit furious and said to his mother.
RK: Ma how many time have I told you that I don't like anyone calling me Rishu
Radhaji: Arre...why...when you were small you only listend to me when I used to call you Rishu and now you are telling not to.
RK: Exactly Ma I was small but now I am not that small Rishu...I am RK
Radhaji: Hmmm...but...(suddenly RK cuts her off)
RK: Ya ya I know Ma ke liye Bacche Bacche hi rehte hain...Ab aage bolo.
Madhu was holding her stomach tight and due to laughter tears started falling from her eyes...and seeing her RK was getting more and more furious.
Radhaji: Actually your father is waiting at the airport.
RK: What Papa has come...why didn't you tell me before?
Radhaji: How could I have told you...I didn't even know when you went in the morning.
RK: Anyway...have you sent the driver to pick him up?
Radhaji: Ya I did...but the car broke down in between...so I have called you to pick him up right now.
RK: And you are telling this to me now Ma...after chit chatting with me for the past 5 mins...anyway just tell papa I'll be there in 15 mins
And he cuts the phone
Madhu: Now what?
RK: Ummm now I'll have to go to the airport.
Madhu: Ya you should
Madhu expected him to take her with him but he didn't do that instead he dropped her to the near by bus stand and left for the airport...Madhu thought that maybe he doesn't want her to meet his parents right now but it wasn't that instead he didn't wanted her to ever meet his parents because their was no future of them from his POV.
***************************
While driving
RK said to himself "I shouldn't have done that or may be that was the only thing I could do...but why am I bothered so much about her?"
And he soon arrived to the airpot.. where his father was waiting for him. He got down from the car and walked towards his father and hugged him.
RK: PAPA
MK: My son (While patting on his back...but he felt the hug is was a cold one so he asked RK) What happened Rishabh?
RK: Nothing papa..why are you asking?
MK: I am asking because I felt that something is wrong.
RK: No papa really everything is fine.
And they sat in the car.
MK: why are you so quiet today?
RK: Quiet?...No it's just I have nothing to say.
MK: Okay then let's play our favourite game WORD ASSOCIATION.
RK: Papa...we can do that after we reach home.
MK: Why not now?
RK: Okay go on
MK: Missing
RK: You
MK: Mother?
RK: Sexy
MK: College?
RK: Friends
MK: Friend?
RK: Karan
MK: Love?
RK: A...a...Not for me (He sttamered)
MK: Caught you my son
RK: What I said the answer
MK: Yes you did but...??
RK: But what?
MK: You know what
RK: Oh come one papa...that's not fare...I paused for 2 seconds that just don't mean that there is something.
MK: It is just that you paused...for 1 2 or 3 that doesn't matter...so come on tell me what is it?
RK: Nothing papa (He was adament)
MK: Okay...but if there is something that is bothering you...always remember that your father is with you.
RK smiled at him and nodded his head
He didn't talk about Madhu...not even a single word...because he just couldn't...and how could he have...because for him their relationship was just like his past one's...he was never serious about Madhu...as their relationship was just a bet...But more than that that something else that was bothering him...and that was what if Madhu knows te truth and how will Madhu feel when he will leave her...but he was so bothered about Madhu's feelings...The bet was now turning into a horrible thing...he had to get out of it.
************************
At night
Madhu called RK
Madhu: Hey!
RK: Hi Madhu
His low voice made Madhu sense that something is wrong
Madhu: What happened?
RK: Nothing...what will happen?
Madhu: You are sounding a bit low...everything fine?
RK: Ya ya...everything is fine.
Madhu: I don't think so.
RK: Madhu I told you that everything is fine why are you still asking...Papa was asking me the same thing again and again...why you guys can not just trust that (He said it while getting irritated with the repeat of questions)...good night now...I am sleeping.
Madhu was all quiet on hearing him and RK realised that he shouldn't have done this and he asked for an appology
RK: I am sorry Madhu...I shouldn't have talk to you like this...and I shouldn't have left you like I did this morning.
Madhu instead of blasting back answered him back with full affection
Madhu: RK if two people are asking you this then it means that something is wrong na...and for the morning..it's fine I know..that you don't want your parents to get to know about us right now...it's fine RK...even I haven't told my parents...I can understand (RK closed his eyes feeling guilty)...and...if you don't want to tell me what's bothering you...I will not force you...but can you do one thing for me?
RK: What?
Madhu: Bring your hand forward
RK: Why?
Madhu: Just do it na
RK: Okay (And he brought his hand forward)
And Madhu did the same and she said
Madhu: Don't worry...I am with you...everything is going to be fine...whatever it is.
RK was spellbound with this...and after few seconds he said
RK: Thanks Madhu
Madhu: For what?
RK: For being so nice.
Madhu: Oh ya that I am
She chuckled while he smiled
Madhu: Accha Now you can sleep...good night.
RK: No Madhu...I am still holding your hand...just stay and talk to me...don't cut the phone.
Madhu: But you only said that you want...(And RK cuts her off in between)
RK: I said that...and I am saying this too...because now I want to talk to you.
Madhu: Hahaha Okay...so?
RK: So? (getting a bit confused)
Madhu: Talk na
RK: Ummm okay...tell me what are you wearing?
Madhu: What...what kind of question is that?
RK: It's a simple kind of question Madhu
Madhu: and why do you wanna know?
RK: Because...
Madhu: Because?
RK: Because I am going to imagine you in that and...
Madhu: And what?
Their was a silent for few second Madhu became a little nervous and she gulped in
RK: Because I will imagine you and hug you in my dreams.
Both couldn't control their laughter and bursted out laughing...and they talked till late at night...and soon the sleep took over.
THE END!!!
