OS #1

RAABTA

There is an old saying in Chinese folklore,

It say there is always a magical connection between two people's souls who are meant to be together.

The two people connected by this thread, are destined lovers regardless of time, space and circumstance.

This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but it never breaks!

*****

He buttoned up his coat as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes transfixed, he wore his watch. He missed her, he missed her very much!

It was new year's eve, a new year awaited to be celebrated. The city was decorated and people were merry. He looked out sans any zest, while people waved and cheered to him. After all he was their famous beloved R.K!

He got off the car, and walked up the staircase with her hand wrapped around his. The media clicking pictures. She wore the prettiest smile while he wore the stone face, least bothered about the things around him. A grand ball had been arranged for the New Year's Eve by the biggest Producers of the country. It was marked as the most magnificent New Year Celebration Night in history. The entire set had been transformed into a ballroom from the fairytales. Not just media and fans, but even the most popular actors were spotted in all excitement, except one. One who wore a small smile on his face, while cried in his heart. Rishabd Kundra!

SHE had left him. Nothing changed. Everything was just back to normal. Just like it used to be when she wasn't there.

The entrance of the hall grandly decorated. He looked perfect with his new Girlfriend, the media thought. To him, it was just another promotional stunt for his upcoming movie. A strategy well planned, well thought of. The mind rejoiced with happiness while the heart lay broken somewhere, exactly as she had left it, drunk with her memories and pained by her torture. Her torture or his own? He screwed his eyes shut and taking a deep breath came out of his thoughts. Correction her thoughts.

He cordially smiled at the man who offered him a mask. He chose the darkest one. A while later the lights dimmed as everyone stood in the centre. Each man offering a dance to an unknown lady, all in masks.

He blindly extended his hand to the first lady he came across. She accepted the first hand that was extended towards her. A miny spark ran down the length of his arm as her hand came in contact with his. He chose to ignore it, and pulled her closer.

Her eyes rested on a pair of deep dark eyes. The ones, she still loved. She had seen him enter, and had thought of being away but destiny had other plans perhaps. Destiny brought her straight into his arms. Stupid Destiny, always made things worse for her. Soft music played as they swayed. He din't care to see his dance partner.

Tujhse kiya hai dil ne bayan

Kiya nigahon ko zubaan

Waada wafa ka kiya

He hadn't taken the care to even notice anything about the lady he was dancing with, the dance was a mere formality. The shadow over her face bearly made her eyes visible.He turned her and brought her back close to his chest and ran his fingers from her elbow to her palm, for the next move.

The touch felt familiar. He brushed his thoughts away. He was probably imagining her again. Something that he hated, 3 months and yet he felt her presence everywhere. His damned Goddess of a wife! Alright, ex-wofe to be precise.

Tujhse liya khud ko mila

Liya duaaon ka sila

Jeene ka sapna liya

She gently closed her eyes as she felt his fingers on her skin. She was in his arms. She felt the warmth she had missed for days. The warmth - HIM.

She had to disappear. She knew he would have hated her for that, the stories on the Newspaper and Magazines just proved it, he was all set to get engaged to his new Girlfriend. He probably hated her now, he always did din't he. It pained her, to see him with someone else. She noticed his cold manner, the same one, he had possessed, when they had first met, as total strangers. She clearly remembered that day, when he had visited her home. It had been arranged by their parents. The Superstar Rishabd Kundra had agreed to an arranged marriage for his mother's sake.

It broke her heart a million times to see his disdainful attitude, she knew it was his vulnerability he hid below it. She couldn't go back to him, not after everything he had said that bitter day! She knew he loved her, and loved him immensely back. But her respect for herself and feat of having another vulnerable heartbreak yet again from him, din't let her go back to him. Nevertheless he was living, and soon he would enter a new phase of life and she would only remain in the past chapters of his life, old and dusty. And he would be Happy again.

She loved him too much. She would always. She couldn't fall out of love. He lived in her heart. His smile evergreen, his presence ever fresh right in her heart and her love for him shone in her eyes. No matter what, she would love him. She was only his, His Biwi! His memories were enough for her.

She had to escape him, she can't stay long. She couldn't risk being weak again. Besides, she knew him too well. She feared the consequences if he recognized her. But as much as her mind wanted her out of the situation, her heart wanted her to be there in that moment forever, in his arms. She wanted to hug him and tell him that she was his Madhu, the one he had been unsuccessfully searching for from past two months. She couldn't. He had broken her and she had slowly, put together those broken pieces she couldn't afford another heart break!

Dil ke makaan mein

Tu mehmaan rahaan rahaan

Aankhon ki zubaan

Kare hai bayan kaha aankaha

He felt her. He closed his eyes. It is her! His heart screamed. Clenching his jaw, he shut his heart as his brain took over. He turned her, unwinding her and then pulled her close, his hands now on her waist. She gently placed her hands on his shoulders, as they moved in tune to the beat, her eyes looking straight onto his collar, preventing an eye contact. It was hard not flicker her eyes upwards at his face and let her eyes treat on his face now covered under the dark black golden mask, his eyes blazing. He tried looking down at her, the mask din't help, worse, the shadow was over face. He moved, turning around, at a faster pace to bring her in light. All he wanted was one glimpse. His heart raced, something only she was capable of doing without any effort.

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Kyun hai yeh kaise hai yeh tu bata

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

She had read through his intention. And turned right before the light was on her. He held her by the hand and pulled her into him, in dance. Her back collided against his chest. He placed his right palm over hers and slowly fit his fingers into the grooves between her fingers. He knew those fingers to well. It was her ! Yet again screamed his heart. The mind worked logic,he had practically looked for her everywhere to have no clue, then how could she be here.He moved his hand up in the air along with hers, placing his chin slightly over her shoulder, she shuddered. His doubts were washed away, it was her.!!! Her response, her breathing, her presence, all shouting her identity.

Meherbani jaate jaate mujhpe kar gaya

Guzarta saa lamha ek daaman bhar gaya

Tera nazara mila, roshan sitara mila

Taqdeer ka jaise koi ishaara mila

He wrapped his left arm around her, his palm reaching her bare stomach, thanks to the oval cut in her gown. He moved his lips closer to her ears, inhaling a sharp rugged breath as his palm came in contact with her skin. He was creating havoc in her system. The warmth was now turning to heat. She unrolled herself, freeing herself from his arms. He searched for an opportunity to meet her eyes, as they danced each matching the other's step effortlessly, as if they were meant to be synchronized.

Hadh se zyaada mohabbat hoti hai jo

Kehte hain ke ibaadat hoti hai woh

They both were stubborn, he wanted to meet her eyes, she wasn't going to let his eyes rest on hers. She knew he would read her heart, through her eyes. She couldn't get weak. Before she knew he had pulled her closer placing her hands around his neck while his hands brought her waist closer to himself, so that she looked up. She arched slightly and was about to look up when she realized and suddenly jerked closer instead, her chin over his shoulder. Breathing deeply, audible enough for him. Her hair covering her face due to the sudden move. He slowly inched away so that his eyes could meet her eyes. She closed her eyes shut. He looked at her closed eyes, and then her parted lips breathing deeply through the perfect cut of the mask.

Involuntarily his lips moved to hers. She opened her eyes slightly, and saw his lips inching closer to hers. She screwed her eyes shut, and tightening her grip on his shoulders she tilted her head and inched closer.

Their lips met. Both had sparks dancing in their system. He knew it was her. It had to be HER. The kiss gentle at first, turned deeper and passionate. His hands pressing her waist and pulling her closer. Finally they broke apart, he was in a daze and before he knew she was gone. Gone like a dream. He looked around, ran hither-thither, found her no where. He slowly took his fingers to his lips, he could still feel her lips over his.

Qusoor hai ya koi ye fitoor hai

Kyun lage sab kuch andhera hai

Bas yeh hi noor hai

Jo Bhi Hai Manzoor Hai...

Was he dreaming?

He was still standing there, comprehending whether he was dreaming or was it real. He walked to the side of the hall, his eyes looking all about. Suddenly his eyes rested on some figure running down the red carpet, to disappear into the lawn.

She panted as she reached the back lawn. Her smile grew wide as she stopped to breath. She felt something shiny fall. She looked down, it was his coat's cluff, it had broken away and had got stuck at the edge of the cut of her gown. Smiling she picked it up and put it into her purse.

***

No matter how much he showed he hated her, down there in his heart it was just her. He had never really wanted to get married to her. He had always dreamed of that wife who would be a star to meet up to him. A complete diot he had been! For she was the rarest of stars, a true star. He had been an idiot to pish her away despite the fact that he has started liking her the way she was. She would cook for him, always great him with a smile when he returned tired from his shoots. She was a child at heart. She would play with him, fight with him, and never fan him. Something which bothered him. She wasn't like the other girls. She was different, very different.

"Wish nahi kar ke jaaogi, Biwi!" He said aloud, walking up to her.

She stopped in track, and closed her eyes, wondering how she would face him. She turned around unsure.She shuddered at the thought but met his eyes. He was looking straight down at her.

She din't want to cry but her throat felt cracky. Her eyes shined with moisture. Her heart thudded loudly with every step he took towards her.

She looked away once he was right before her.

"I have been an idiot, I know!" He said taking a long breath.

"Nothing new to me!" She frowned still looking away.

He smiled, "Diverting a little bit, you look beautiful!"

Her heart jumped, but on the outside she showed nothing. "That won't help in anyway Mr. Kundra."

"You can look at me, you won't grow horns, I promise."

She rolled her eyes at him, hiding her smile. "What?" She said looking straight into his eyes.

"I m sorry!" He said honestly. "I have been a jerk, treated you so badly..and even broke your heart. "

She looked up at him, accusingly, he knew it. "It's an old chapter and an old year, let's forget it. You have a new year waiting, and also a new wife, the kind you always wanted perhaps. You shouldn't be wasting time on old things."

Her words pricked his heart. How much pain had he given her. She turned and started walking away.

"Wait!" He said catching up with her and standing before her.

Quickly looking at his watch, he took a deep breath. He got on his knees before her. "Waapas Aajo Madhu, Please?"

"RK what are you doing! Please don't create a scene here. yeh tumhaari movie ka set nahi hai."

He chuckled, and soon looked at her earnestly, "I love You!"

"I Don't Trust You, Not Anymore!" She spoke feebly as a tear escaped her eye.

"I understand Madhu. Tumhaari naarazgi jaayas hai. But give me once chance please. "

She nodded in a no. A brief pause followed.

"What do I understand? Your eyes say a yes and you not a no."

She looked at him, and looked at the sky. She wanted to scream a yes, but her mind was scared.

She looked up at the sky, as varied color firecrackers shined brilliantly. Smiling she knelt down beside him. Cupping his face, she rested her forehead against his, "I Love You Too " she whispered. A second later there was loud sound of crackers. The two looked up smiling, and then turned back to each other.

He wrapped his arms around her, and gently kissed her forehead, "Happy New Year Biwi!"

She smiled amidst teats of happiness, "Happy New Year Rishabd!"

His eyes shone, as she addressed him by his name. But soon a baffled look replaced his smile as she said something.

"It's Madhu! I m still not your wife, remember- we are divorced."

He squeezed his eyes, "Only on paper! In my heart you are still my wife!"

She frowned, "No, Madhu!"

"Biwi!" He argued.

"Madhu!" She got up, clapping the dust of her palms.

"Biwi!" He exclaimed once again getting on his feet.

"Saal ki shuruwaat ladte ladte nahin shuru karni chaiye!"

"Exactly, but you always start!"

"No you did!"

He looked aside, she was impossible. Then smirked he wasn't any less, was he? He quickly grabbed her wrists and drove it all the way to her back. She was now perfectly caged in his arms, her face inches apart from his.

She gasped his name, and he looked at her adoringly. "Biwi." He declared, husky enough.

She fidgeted, "this is cheating, RK!"

"Rishabd!" He demanded.

"RK!" She said wanting to piss him off. The two could play the game.

"Biwi, I have better ways to make you say my name!" He whispered huskily in her ear, biting the edge. Her eyes widened and cheeks flushed. She had grown used to his normal touches and hugs but still not the intensifying intimacy. She freed her wrists gracefully as he stared at her, his gaze switching between her eyes and lips. She jerked him away by the shoulder freeing herself. He looked in lost daze.

"Good try Mr. Rishabd Kundra. But you see I m Madhubala Malik, not going to be easy. Convince me to marry you again and then we shall talk!" She said with an air of importance.

"What!" He looked atvher in shock.

"Win me over, and then I shall think about, being your Biwi!" She smirked.

He rolled his eyes, a smile dancing on his lips as he prepared his next move. He took two steps and picked her up in his arms. And started walking down the rear lawn to the parking.

"Rishabd!" She gasped. He cheated once more!

"There you go, I just won your heart by that, I know I did. And guess what I got what I wanted - you called me Rishabd, the one thing that only my wife can do. Are we okay biwi?" He smiled, putting her down beside, the car.

She smiled. "Cheater!"

He gave a lopsided smile, "That's what you have!"

It indeed was a New Year, a new beginning for them.

Kyunki...

Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta...

My love never dies

Silent Night

Holy Night

All is calm

All is bright

Round yon virgin

Mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

The song is floating in the air enthralling all the souls around except the girl ,who was looking at the glistening lights adorning the.christmas tree and the church in front of her.the lonley tear shining in the reflection of light like a Crystal of diamond . It felt like she doesn't realized the chilled December air and the freezing weather

"Madhu"someone touched her jerking her out of her daze.

She wiped the tear threatening to flow down and turned to smile at the intruder who broke her perfect ,or painful ,thoughts.

"Ria ...happy Christmas"Madhu wished hearing the clock and the church bells

"Merry Christmas Madhu...but y are you sitting here . come-on the mass is going to start"ria said

"Yeah"Madhu stood up wiping her dress from the dust on the steps where she has been sitting from past half an hour.she followed ria to the church for the mass.

After the mass

Everyone cheering and sharing the Cake while Madhu say down on the seat in thier car waiting for her family members.

"Madhu y are you sitting here.. someone want to see you"mukund said

"I am not interested to talk with anyone muku"Madhu said disinterested

"Don't be so rude Madhu...they are asking for you"mukund

"Okay"Madhu climbed out of the car and followed mukund

They reached Thier family members who were chatting with a lady ,an old man and a young man, looking like Thier son

"Mr.patel she is my sister madhubala"mukund introduced Madhu to the them

They smiled at her and shook her hand saying "happy Christmas"

Madhu reciprocated Thier warmth of greetings.she felt like the young man's eyes are lingering on her face more than the way she likes.

"Madhu...he is Rahul Patel..he is working in Australia"mukund Said and Madhu Smiled at him .and she understood why that man was glancing at her every now and again.it was clearly a Marriage proposal .Madhu wanted to fled from there asap but she.cany ignore her family's feelings ,so she made a smiling face that doesn't reach her eyes.

"Can we talk?"Rahul asked Madhu

"Of course ..why not..let's give some space"sikkandher said smiling

"Bhai.."Madhu looked at him pleading

"It's okay Madhu..",sikkandher said to madhu"she is a shy type"sikkandher said with a fake smile to the Patel's

"I thought someone like her working abroad will be smart...but I like shy girls.."Rahul said Laughing at his own joke.

Madhus Family members left her with Rahul and moved away to watch the crib setted in the church ground.

"So...you might be sensed that it's a Marriage proposal?"Rahul said

"Yeah"Madhu looked at the floor as if it is the most interesting thing than her soon_to_be_husbands face.

"Well...I didn't plan to settle by now..I wanted more time to explore my life..but you know ..our tradition ...my parents are worried about me being alone in Australia and bringing back an Australian as Thier daughter in law."he laughed again but Madhu faked a small smile.

"But you know.. when I saw your photo ..I couldn't resist anymore and I was longing to meet you..you are really beautiful"he said looking at madhu for a response but in vain.she was staring at nothing

"Madhu..did you hear me?"Rahul asked .Madhu looked at him and said coldly"yes"

Rahul looked at her wide eyed.he never expected such a cold response from a girl when someone admires her beauty.

"R u not happy with this alliance?"Rahul

Madhu Smiled painfully

"Tell Something"Rahul said

"I have no say in this matter"Madhu said in low voice

"What do you mean? your family forcing you for this marriage?you have bf?do you want to marry someone?"he asked so many questions in one breath as he doesn't want to lose her and he silently prayed any of his questions aren't true

"Any of your doubts are not true..my family didn't force me and I don't have a boy friend now..I wanted to marry someone ..but it's an old story"Madh Said

"Oh... okay"Rahul sighed in relief."then...?"

"I am not ready for a relationship now"Madhu

"Don't feel bad...but r u thinking about that past relationship?"Rahul asked

"Yes and no"Madhu

"Yes and no?"Rahul

"Yeah...I still have a slight hope ..he might come back to me"Madhu

"How many years you have been waiting for him?"Rahul asked with a slight disappointment

"Five years"Madhu

"Five years??!!!!..it's a long time Madhu..sorry to say..but I don't think he will come back"Rahul said

"You might be right..and my brother's might be right...but my heart never wanted to admit it...he might have rejected me or didn't want to accept our love ...you might accuse me that I have no self-respect to wait for him ...but my heart know no logics but it only knows to love.i can keep it aside ..then it might be my death"madhus eyes welled up.she wiped it embarrassed as she is crying in front of a stranger."and everyone is saying I am half dead..I had changed very much..they might be right..."Madhu Smiled painfully

Rahul held her hand and gently squeezed it

"Don't feel embarrassed..you can share your feelings with me...as a friend... haven't you heard sharing will diminish pain and increase happiness...I won't judge you after hearing your story...we both could take a decision after hearing it.. because Madhu it's five years passed and it's time for you to take a decision."Rahul said

"You wanna hear my story?"Madhu

"Yeah...let's sit hear"Rahul said gesturing to a nearby cement bench .

"Oh god.. please send my prince charming to me today as a gift..please santa bring him gift wrapped to me"and she opened her eyes and laughed.everyone joined her.

Church

Madhu entered the church placing her veil on her head .she knelt down on her knees and draw cross .she stood up and sat down on the wooden bench.the mass started after few minutes .and then the priest went to give his speech

"It's so boring"Madhu whispered to Trish"why can't he cut short it"

"Shhh ..."trishna put her finger on her lip and rolled her eyes to Madhu placing her veil in position.

Madhu shifted in her seat boringly.

After few minutes

"Trish...I want to use wash room"Madhu

Trish nodded and Madhu left the room in a second.she walked to the gaint Christmas tree adorned with lights .she hugged her coat close to her to ease the chills running through her body erupting goosebumps due to the cold December air .she walked to the other side of the church and saw the gate to graveyard.

"Just go and meet mom and papa"she thought and walked to the gate.sge got startled by seeing a vague image inside the graveyard

"Is that a ghost?"Madhu thought

"No way...ghost doesn't exist..it's only in movies"she assured herself"someone like me came to meet Thier loved ones"Madhu thought

She moved to the figure along the way in between the tombstones.gradually the figure got clear and she found out that it is a man sitting on a tombstone.he saw her coming and he shifted nervously.

"It's really rude to sit on a tombstone"she said looking at the man starting a conversation with him

Then he opened his mouth and fumes came out of it.she looked startled and the man turned to face her.

"If it is on your tombstone ..then it is not rude"he said rudet

"W...What?"Madhu

"It's my grave and I can sit on it"he said

"Y.. you...are...you.."Madhu stuttered and she shivered out of fear

"Yes.. Before you faint..I am Alexander dezusa"he pointed to the name inscribed on the tombstone"and yeah...I was dead 20 years back and I am a ghost"he said with a sly grin

"G..g.. ghost?"Madhu felt her whole body is trembling .."no..no..I am dreaming"Madhu said to herself.

"No you are not...come-on..pinch yourself to confirm"man

"No ...I might have slept to that priests boring speech "Madhu justifie

"Confirm by pinching ...may I do the favor?"man

"Oh.. it's twelve ..happy Christmas girl"he wished her

"No..stay there you ghost"Madhu .but he didn't stop and moved to her.she felt him closing his distance to her and then she saw some black spots leaving herself into Oblivion.

Madhu opened her eyes to the cool liquid sprinkling on her face and saw a crowd around her.she looked at each face with wide eyed .

"What happened child?"the priest asked

"Hah..what?"Madhu

"We find you at the steps passed out..are you sick?..you alright"he asked will concern

Malik house

Madhu was lying on her bed and thinking about the whole ghost episode and she couldn't believe that everything was just her dream.sge averted her gaze to the door hearing the knock and said "come in"

Trishna entered with a smile

"Come Madhu ..let's have breakfast"Trish

"Yeah"Madhu nodded .still lingering in her though

"Madhu..you are thinking about the ghost..leave it yaar"Trish said bored as she was trying to make her believe it was just a dream,from past few hours,but Madhu is not ready to believe it.

"Come on"Trish pulled Madhu and she followed her.

Madhu came back to her room after her breakfast

"He said that he will be there at every night ...I should go and confirm it tonight.."she thought

Night

Madhu waited everyone to sleep and she went to the front door silently .she collected the keys to her Jeep and slowly tip towed to open the door.she closed it without making any noise.she started her Jeep with utmost care and drived to the church.she felt her teeth chattering by the chilled air and she mentally hit her head for not Wearing a sweater.she parked her Jeep away from the entrance and walked to the back entrance of the church directly into the graveyard.she got startled to see the figure sitting on the same place yesterday she met him.she wanted to confirm it's him and she went towards him.the figure turned his head to her .she halted a few meters away from him and he smirked

"Hah... madhubala...you came to meet me again?"he asked

Madhu looked at him flabbergasted .

"Welcome to my home madhubala...sorry I can't offer you a chair..but you are free to sit on that tombstone..well he is my friend and he won't mind..right Xavier"he stopped for a feemminutes as if he was concentrating on something"he said yes..you can sit there"the man said

"Yeah...it's the perks of being a ghost..lot of information ... you are Ms madhubala malik ..you have three brothers and a sil... Your parents got killed in an accident and you are doing you higher studies in US...is it?"man

She looked at him hitting her jaw to the ground and couldn't belive the surreal things happening around her.

"Well madhubala...I didn't took my food today..will you help me..you Know ..a pint of blood...I promise I will make it up to you..it won't hurt much"he said standing up and joint his hands together and cracking his fingers with an evil smile.

"Madhu...run.."her mind screamed and the next thing she do is obeying her mind.she felt he is following her and his loud laughter echoed in her ear.sge flung open the door of her Jeep and sped to her house.

Morning

She tried to open her eyes to the voices booming around her but the eyelids didn't budge as if they are glued together.

"Oh my God..she is having a high fever"Trish said

"Call the doctor..Madhu..open your eyes Madhu..."Sultan said frantically .but she couldn't respond

Madhu nodded

New year Eve

Madhu denied everyone's plan for the new year as she wanted to become his and his only.shr waited in the graveyard but rk never came.she waited for him everyday till she went back to US.she tried his phone but it was always switched off .she went to his house address but she realized that he lied her about the address and his job.madhu spend six months in the pain of heart break.and it ended by a phone call emerging a new hope in her heart

"Hi Madhu"ria

"Ria...what's up?"Madhu asked

It was a good OS

Loved madhus love for RK

Title suit very much for their story

But RK is bit confusing and his reason for betraying madhu was so silly

Actually like rahul said it was his lack of communication to madhu and dipali was not having faith in their love that is why she committed suicide .It was completely their fault but he accused and betrayed madhu for his love dipali

I loved rahul more than RK in this os

Even madhu's brothers were so caring and loving

Even though RK betrayed madhu I liked their love story

But dipali was a twist to the story

Thanks for pm

Owesum story

But rk's reason for betraying madhu is so silly.

At least he should tell madhu about his love with dipali then madhu will back out and their life will not mesh up.

PUPPY LOVE

Shamsher Malik was very fond of actress Madhubala. So he sweared in his Jawani time, whenever he will marry, he will keep his daughter's name Madhubala and will dress her like Madhubala. So when he got married to padmini, His daughter Madhubala was born. According to his wish, he wanted to wear lahnga choli, anarkali suits but 1 years old little Madhu is a Tomboy. She wears only shorts, jeans and Ts.

Malik belongs to a little village Motihari but now he is moving to Mumbai because his langotia yaar Mohan Kundra is calling him since Christmas from Mumbai to stay with them. Mohan Kundra is a great business man. He and his wife Radha have a son named Rishab Kundra, who is 3 years old. Kundras lives in Kundra mansion.

After one week, 1 January.
Now Maliks too lives in Kundra mansion.3 years old Rk when saw 1 years old Madhu who was wearing T and jeans. Her T had a print "LITTLE DEVIL", Rk thought that she is his type, so she will be mine. And for this, he will make her his friend.

After one year.
One year has passed. Now Rk and Madhu are best friends. They do everything together.. eat, play, study, bath even sleep together. They do coochie coo whenever they get time.Rk has a habit of kissing Madhu's cheeks.
It was winter vacations of rishbala. So Maliks and kundras decided to go to Agra to celebrate Christmas and new year. When 4 years old Rk saw Taj Mahal just before the Christmas, he decided he will marry Madhu here only.
At the hotel suit, when Maliks and kundras were staying, Day before the Christmas evening, Rk and Madhu were watching a movie in which hero was proposing heroine in front of the Eiffel tower, after that they kissed. So little Madhu decided, she too will say her Rk "I love you" in front of the Eiffel tower.

After two years.
Now 4 year old Madhu can't live without 6 years old Rk. They watches cinema together. As they are very coochie coo types, whenever or wherever they see any new touchy step in movies or their around, they do that touchy step to each other.

After one year,
Now Madhu is 5 yrs old and Rk is 7 yrs old. Once Radha was saying to Mohan that since they are married, she is eating pills regularly, so Mohan can touch her as much as he wants. But they didn't know that little rishbala were hearing their conversations. Rishbala couldn't understand that what the hell these pills are? Little Madhu suggest Rk that maybe these pills can be hajmola pills or can be hingoli pills. So Madhu began to eat a hingoli or hajmola pill regularly...so that Rk can touch her as much as he wants.

One fine day,
Rishbala heard "Padmini saying Malik that now when they are married, she has T on her body...so Malik can touch her as much as he wants." After hearing them, little Madhu again thought that she too has many Ts in her closet, So she will wear T daily on her body from now on. It means her Rk can touch her as much as he wants.

On the same day,
Malik was saying to Padmini," since we are married, so I have brought many balloons. So she doesn't need to use her T." As usual little Devils rishbala were hearing them. Next day Rk brought a full packet of coloured beautiful balloons. Showing the packet to Madhu, he said," you don't have to use your Ts because I have brought so many balloons. See."

Since there was Christmas evening, Maliks , kundras and bhatiyas were gathered in living room. Suddenly Madhu got up and sat on rk's lap and gave a tight kiss on his right cheek. Madhu said to Rk, "umm... Rishabh, now it have been days since I am eating pills and have Ts...so you can touch me as much as you wants."

Shamsher Malik,"oh my Madhubala...!"

While Radha and Padmini flushed red like tomato.

While Rk, "no Madhu! First we will get married on 1st January in Agra."
Madhu," no Rk first I will propose you on Christmas in front of the Eiffel tower..ok"
Rk,,"ok ok...first you will propose me on Christmas then I will marry you on 1st January...is that clear..?"

Bhatiyas --" what's the matter children?"

Rk- "Mom was saying to Dad that now she is eating pills daily. Padmini anty was saying to Malik uncle that she is having T on her body and Malik uncle was saying to Padmini anty that he has brought many balloons... because they are all married."

Rk seeing toward Madhu, " Madhu after we get married,you will eat hajmola or hingoli pills daily.! Will put your Ts on your body.! And I will buy you innumerable balloons...ok!".

Voices came from behind...OH MY GOD!!

Huff...hope you will like it.. 😊

Hello loveliess... 😊 First of all we would like to say that we have used this concept in our FF to show a Movie, but here we have tried another version of it & We dedicate this OS to all RishBala fans 🥳

JUNOON : ISHQ Ka 😳

Tale of two souls...connected through BITTUJI.. Separated by BITTUJI... 😉

Rk throws his mobile on bed in frustration when his message didnot deliver to her Maya.. He quickly type a msg "Bittuji is irritating me since morning, so m unable to chat now 🥱 "

Rk aka Rishabh Kundra,😉 A famous Singer of Bollywood, finds his soulmate through online chatting! He was not very active on social-sites but still his destiny made him chat with a Random person named Madhubala..

Both feel happy & special whenever they chat.. but they hide their real identity from each other 😒 & introduce themselves as Abhay and Maya..😊 They have never seen each other & never shared their mobile no. or address, even hide their real names ! They shared their feelings & daily incidents of their life.. Slowly but effectively they get addicted to each other! But soon bittuji started to irritate them.. BITTUJI means NETWORK ..😉 Whenever they tried to chat, network problem occurs... Rk named this problem after his P.A Bittuji (kabaab me haddi). So irritated with this bittuji, one day they both decided to meet each other.. when RK was offered a Musical concert on the eve of New year, near Madhu's place..😊 It was like a New year gift for them from each other..

31st Dec ...

RK & Madhu both are very happy as they are going to meet today.. Madhu was getting ready in her hostel room.. When her best Friend Deepali come there.. Madhu was so excited & tells that finally she is going to meet her Abhay as he is coming today to watch RK's concert 😊 Deepali too feels happy & tells that's great! BTW.. Did you bought anything for him! Madhu tells yes I brought some book as he likes to read a lot.. Deepali smiles & tells ok then you get ready & let me help in packing books.. Madhu gets ready & asks to Deepali, Are you coming too? She tells No baby! Just enjoy your day.. Madhu smiles & takes her handbag with gift books & leaves in hurry..

Musical Consert..
Before starting the concert, RK texts Madhu to come near by some place & soon he got a reply that she is already near by there & will reach on time..
Madhu is in consert area between crowd.. Just then someone collides with her & her handbag,books all fall down.. She collects it & notices that her mobile is missing.. She start to search it & cries.. She thinks Now how will I meet him without My mobile?! She checks the time & cries more while searching her lost mobile in crowd.. 😒

Behind the stage..
RK is already waiting for Maya & after sometime he finds a girl looking here & there searching for someone.. RK confirms himself that she must be his Maya! But how can he go & conform it asking directly to a girl? What if she is not? So he took out his mobile & goes near to her.. He fakely dials to someone & tells I am waiting here for Maya! Hearing the name she smiles & turns too see Abhay but she is totally amazed to see that RK is standing there.. RK smiles to her & comments I have expected the same reaction from you.. 😳
He introduces himself as Abhay oops RK 😉 .. RK reveals his true identity to her & she too feels glad to know that her RK is a famous Singer.. They talk for sometime & exchange their mobile numbers too.. She asks him not to chat online from now.. Will talk on phone.. As RK was not so active on social sites, he quickly agrees on this..

Hostel Room:
Madhu returns back fully horrified..😭 Deepali excitedly asks Madhu about her meet with Abhay! Madhu cries & tells I did not meet him..😲 Deepali shockingly asks Why? What happened? Madhu explains everything to her happened on consert while Deepali hits her forehead & tells Madhu, you forgot to take your mobile yaar! See.. it is here.. 😊
Madhu jumps in shock & checks her mobile.. She even notices Abhay's text & a reply too from her mobile! Madhu looks Deepali with a questioning look & Deepali tells sorry I texted it on behalf of you as you missed your mobile here! Seeing the notification I replied that you r already near by there & will reach on time.. Madhu breaks down & cries again.. She tells he must be waited for me long na but we did not meet .. Deepali consoles her saying don't worry Madhu everything will be fine soon.. Just text him..😊

Next Day...
Madhu keep texting Abhay.. But no reply 🥱 she started to feel lonely & sad.. After the death of her parents, for the first time she was open up to any other person & it was her Abhay only.. It was a 3 years of friendship,.. how could anyone forget it easily? Now he was not responding..😒 .. her best friend Deepali was also not talking to her properly.. It was hurting Madhu badly.. Deepali feels sad seeing Madhu & feels guilty! She tells in heart Sorry Madhu after knowing that RK is Abhay, how come any girl wish to leave him.. A Rich & Handsome Singer!! 😳

Flash back...
Deepali knows about RishBala's online chat as Madhu shares everything with Deepali.. Hearing everytime about Abhay(RK) from Madhu she also fall in love with him! The day Madhu tells Deepali about their meeting & Deepali also wishes to meet Abhay.. But she did not show.. On the concert day, when she noticed Madhu's mobile in their room, Deepali decides to meet Madhu & give it to her.. She texted RK & then reaches the near by concert area to handover Madhu's mobile but there accidently she met RK.. Dipali was clueless what to do as he called her as Maya! She then introes herself as Maya to RK & RK too feels happy to see her & believes that Dipali is her Maya..

After a little talk with RK, Dipali decides not to let RK to go back to Madhu & asks him to stop chatting Online! She made him to log off his account too ... "

Deepali tricked both Rishbala & did not let Rishbala chat.. On the other hand Deepali used to talk with RK all the time acting like Madhu.. Everytime RK feels strange while talking to Deepali.. Now whenever they meet Deepali try to seduce him too! Which RK didn't like, he feels something is fishy.. But how can he doubt on his Maya?! So he continued their relationship..

But Destiny had different plan for Rishbala's meet 😛

After some Days...
Again RK visits Madhu place for a concert & Madhu also come to know about RK's concert.. Madhu's heart wanted her to go to the concert & meet Abhay! She feels Abhay will come for sure to see RK's concert atleast.. She reaches the Concert & lost in her thoughts & her surrounding, just in a hope..to meet her Abhay for once!

Rk starts his performance... 👏

While performing.. Rk feels something is building up in his heart when he notices a girl standing in corner.. Like she was searching for someone.. He get curious.. & ask his P.A bittuji to keep a eye on her..

Concert ends.. Madhu was now on verse of crying.. She was feeling like cheated.. How could be someone cruel like this.. If those 3 years were not mean to him anything..😒 She was lost in thoughts & walking, just then she notices that a person is looking at her curiously, unaware of the danger which was hanging over his head .. She shouts "move away" but he doesnot understand.. She runs as fast as she can and dashed him away.. A big light-system falls at the same place where he was standing a moment ago!!

Both fall on ground.. He removes the strands of hair from Madhu's face to see the person closely, who just saved him & RishBala met.. 😊

RK thanks her..Madhu says sorry Sir! I didn't recognize you at first and dashed u.. Rk smirks & says then it's good that you didn't recognize otherwise by this time, I must be resting in HELL..😉 Madhu was about to say something on this nonsense-joke 😆 But got interrupted by Deepali.. (Who get insecure after seeing Rishbala together) Deepali quickly introduce RK as her BF to Madhu.. Madhu was shocked that her best friend hide this things from her but she doesn't say anything. Rk was noticing the change of expression on Madhu's face, from shocked to dishearten & then sad!! His curiosity increases more & he asks Madhu "will you be my friend" 😳..

soon both Rishbala became good friends but.. Everytime when RK talks with Madhu he feels the same feeling of being with his Maya which he fails to feel from Deepali.. But still his true love for his Maya did not change & he continues to believe Deepali .. Deepali tries many attempt to separate them but her all plan went in vein.. One day! RK shares his love story to Madhu, that how he met Dips.. (Without disclosing their fake name) Madhu cries & leaves from there recalling her online friend.. & she misses him.. as she is unaware of being RK, her online friend Abhay...

28th June..

On his Birthday, RK invites both Madhu-Deepali together.. He happily tells about his online soulmate Maya & introdues Deepali as Maya infront of all . Madhu gets shocked knowing that her Abhay is RK but keeps quite! RK's friends teases him how can he choose any random girl as his life partner? What she knows about him? RK tells proudly that you guys can ask anything from Deepali about me as she knows everything about me while Deepali gets nervous.. RK's close friends asks her some personal questions about RK but Deepali fails to answer for some questions but Madhu answers well about RK which makes RK feel that Madhu is his online friend.. As RK knows, it's difficult for someone to get to know about him this much in short period of time, Madhu became his friend just few months back.. But with Dipali, in these more than 3 years he shared everything about him to her even every day incident of his life,then how come she failed to answer while Madhu is answering for all those? 😔

All friends of RK praises Madhu & tells that it seems your Maya is Madhu not Deepali.. Deepali fumes while RK looks confused.. He asks both Madhu & Deepali to come aside.. and asks who is his real Maya..? Deepali realises that RK gets doubt on her.. He tells I will ask only one question from both of you but My Maya only knows answer for it.. Madhu looks RK while Deepali gets tensed.. RK asks how I used to tease you Maya everytime while we chat? I know it's very confidential.. Deepali is clueless.. while Madhu did not answer for his question as she doesn't want her best friend Deepali to get heart broken! RK asks Deepali to answer but Deepali cleverly handles the situation by saying, RK you only told na it's confidential then how can I reveal it infront of Madhu. RK smiles & asks both of them to leave..😳 Deepali feels relaxed.. Both Madhu & Deepali truns to leave & they look each other! Just then RK calls "Biwi"😉 .. Madhu halts her steps quickly hearing the word & turns towards RK without her knowledge.. Deepali realises that her drama ended ... RK runs to Madhu, both look each other for a sec with hesitancy then smiles..

and very next moment they hug each other tightly 🤗(ekdam Tight-wala hug)

...******...

Hope you guys enjoyed it..

Thank you.. 😛

And they met under the mistletoe on Christmas eve

"Madhu.. Madhu, check whose there at the door" leela shouted from the kitchen

"yes aunty. I'll" Madhu trotted to the door with a scowl which eventually got replaced with a gentle smile as she saw the carol group at the doorstep singing carols and wishes. It reminded of her time with her late parents. All she could do then was sent up a prayer for them. She gently shut the door after they left and turned to the hall to hear whispers coming from the adjacent room. "mom I should leave within few minutes. Bob, ria and ronant will be here to pick me soon."

Dipali chirped checking out herself infront of the mirror for umpteenth time.

"yes beta. Enjoy with your friends and behave ladylike. Such parties can bring better proposals. "

Leela advised her daughter. "I'm irresistible mom. Who wouldn't want to marry me?" that daughter of a gloating mother boasted. "bye mom." with that she went off to attend the Christmas bash of the town.

That's when it struck Madhu, leela had asked her to be at home that night saying she wasn't well to finish off the chores and attend to the guests she invited. So she needed help. But her aunt has let her cousin ride off to the town means she had tricked her to put all the house work on her for the night. Holy crap! She would've to attend to all guests and take over the cleaning chores too, while her cousin would be happily partying away with her friends. What a way to spend Christmas. She needed to think fast, she needed to escape.

One by one the guests started coming in and soon she was running around with drinks and snacks while her aunt sat chatting away with her neighbors and friends. She was serving the guests all the while thinking of a way to escape when someone tapped on her shoulder making her turn. Her face lost all the colour as she came face to face with the biggest flirt of the town mukund, the one her aunt had been hinting her countless times of marrying her off to which she gladly ignored. "merry Christmas sweetheart. Remember me?" ,'merry Christmas to you too mr. no heart. How can I forget you in the first place. People never forget calamities that tend to occur often' she wanted to say but replied plastering a fake smile on her face " merry Christmas mukund. Do make yourself comfortable", "well, now I'm much more than comfortable after meeting you."

he said in his sugar coated tone. "how sweet of you" she faked a grin while in reality she was gritting her teeth hard. From the corner of her eyes she saw leela staring at them with a knowing look as if her plan to bring moon down to earth became successful. Madhu silently glared at her aunt cursing her within herself s she thought of a way to get away from the place. She slowly moved to the other side of the hall in pretext of serving the other guest but she could feel his gaze on her all the time.

In the kundra industries head office

Rk slowly sipped on his coffee while browsing through his laptop uselessly. It was a day off but that didn't bother him. He felt it weird to spend time with his family after being so since ages, it wasn't anything new. His parents loved him but not each other and it also affected their way of expressing their love for him . they were an ideal couple to the outside world. No one knew the cracks build inside. Those matters didn't concern him anymore. For him, marriage, love, affection were all a waste of time. All that mattered was money. Just money.

Only money? Well a certain someone too falls on the list don't you think?

No. not yet

Oh really?

He pushed away his thoughts and tried to concentrate on his laptop again when the entrance alarm of the office started ringing. With his ever so cold expression he went down to the entrance to check. He irately pulled open the door to come to face with a group of carol singers beaming at him. "Christmas is the season of cheer, love ,affection and goodwil... SLAM

The mountainous door closed shut on their face.

Love, affection, goodwill , words that meant waste of time , words which he was hypersensitive towards.

Christmas was just a mere festival, a random tradition. And traditions for him was damned.

Marching off to his cabin again, he paced inside clueless, unable to apprehend what he had to do. He slowly ambled over to one of his safes and took out a wooden box from it. Opening it he caressed the metal photo frame. He had brought it to gift someone on Christmas when he was just twelve. That year's Christmas for him turned to be nothing but no day better than a lonely night spent in eeriness of a supposedly haunted cemetery. This has been with him since then, not knowing whom to give it to, he had just kept it for himself. Now feeling it again in his palms, a vulnerable wish crossed his mind, a wish to give it to someone. A wish to give it to her. but no way was he going to do it himself. No way he'd directly admit he cared.

So you want her to come and demand her Christmas gift from you? from her boss? And you'd act as if you're doing a great sacrifice by giving it to her. sure go on living in such unrealistic, egoistic, idiotic chauvinistic dreams of yours.

He banged his fist on the table agitated.

Madhu on the other hand was trying her best to escape from mukund and the whole celebration at her aunt's place. As time progressed, romantic numbers started playing on the background and few couples occupied the centre of the hall for dance. Madhu was pouring wine into her glass when mukund's voiced reached her making her go stiff. "would you do me the honor having the first dance with me tonight?" he asked forwarding his right hand palm. Oh no! god please save me from this somehow. Don't spoil my Christmas this way. Dance with this moron? No way! Not even in my hundredth of birth if I was to be born that many times. What to do? Think think think. Give me some idea you stupid brain. She looked around trying to find an excuse when her eyes caught sight of a small baby in the arms of one of the guests, hurriedly being taken away to get a quick change of its nappies. IDEA

His eyes was begging her to nod in positive and his hands itched to get a hold of her soft palm when Suddenly her hands flew to her stomach and her eyes closed shut with her face forming a distorted expression as she hugged her stomach and ran to her room. Knowing that mukund was following her in she locked the room and let out of breath of relief. "madhu what happened? Are you alright?"

mukund asked banging on her door. Irritating son of a girl Hunter. Can't even value a girl's privacy. Madhu tiptoed to her bathroom and turned on the pipe to make him think that she was using the bathroom. "madhu... say something.what happened? Please come out"

came his voice again. Faking a strained tone she called out from the bathroom. "I'm sorry I won't be able to come out any time sooner." , " why? Are you sick? I can help you. Open the door and let me in "

he suggested making her furiously glare at the closed door muttering some profanities in her mind. "I'm afraid I can't do that" she began. " but why?", "I'm suffering from a very bad state of diarrhea currently. It might take a long while to you know ..." she left it hanging,trying her best to stiffle her laughter. But the deed was already done. Mukund had never expected to find himself in such an awkward situation that too with a girl. He highly regretted following her here without second thought. Also a feeling of disgust crossed his mind thinking about madhu's state. He was about to walk off when he heard her say "mukund please do me this help. Do inform aunty I'm extremely sick and won't be able to join the celebrations today so she'd have to attend the rest of guests." , "Yeah.. ohk "

with that reply he ran off to get out from further embarrassment. Madhu came back to her bed and laughed out covering her mouth so that no one would hear her. Now that guy won't even imagine to show his face to me ever. Bloody casanova, he deserves that. Next time if he somehow manages to show his face to me again ill directly decorate his face with cow dung. She grinned happily. Now she couldn't go back to the hall and she couldn't stay here either as her aunt might come to check. So she decided to sneak out and go to trishna's house. She could only do that through her window. Grabbing her winter coat and pulling it over her shoulders she climbed out of the window onto to the branch of the nearby been tree and managed to climb down to the courtyard without making much sound. Running out to the street she hired a cab And got in. "where would you like to go miss?"

the young cabdriver enquired. "to A1 street please", " but miss, all the streets aftet the main road is blocked due to heavy snowing. You won't be able to go there" the cab driver informed. "what? The roads are piled of snow? Can I walk to the street from the main road atleast? "

She asked hopefully though walking in the freezing cold have her the shivers. " sorry miss. You can't. The police has blocked the roads to avoid accidents. We can only go upto the main road. Should I take you back?" the cab driver asked. "No. No. I can't go back "

she said shaking her head frantically. "then where should I drop you miss?" , where will I go? All my friend's houses are situated after the main road. There's no relatives nearby either. Then where to go? There was just one place left. The only place she knew, the only shelter she could reach for now. But it would be locked as it's a Christmas holiday . There wouldn't be anyone ... exactly. There wouldn't be anyone to disturb or pass unnecessary enquiries. No one would know.

"miss you didn't tell me yet about where to drop you "

the cab driver's question broke her trance.

"kundra industries head office, main street "

After paying the cab driver madhu walked towards the huge building that stood high in all its glory, her office. You decided to come here and you came here, now how would you get inside? Now that was a problem. Taking a deep breath she dug into her coat pocket and took out the MasterCard to the building that would open the entrance for her. He had given her one of the two MasterCards incase a need arrives and for her it did now. Walking towards the entrance she pushed the card into the card reader and the light blinked green opening the glass doors of the staff entrance letting her enter the building.

Walking through the empty corridor, empty hallway and seeing the empty cubicles and cabins felt really strange for her. This was the first time she had stepped into an empty and silent office. Yet something about this office made her feel good and less lonely. She didn't know what but something About this place always relaxed her within. Taking the elevator she reached her floor and then her cabin. Pouring herself some coffee from the coffee maker she walked to the fire place to increase the heat upto few more degrees. Devouring her coffee and the small chocolate truffle cake she had left in her cabin's small refrigerator, she say on her chair pondering over the things that was happening in her life. Sneaking out of house and then sneaking into office, what a way of celebrating Christmas. She sighed sadly remembering how she used to celebrate Christmas with her family when her parents where alive. "atleast its better than being stocked up with that douchebag and my and my ever so opportunist of an aunt, having to taking up the waitress job at my own place and spending whole night in kitchen cleaning plates isn't it " she said to herself and received just silence in return of an answer. "what a pathetic way to pacify oneself madhu" she chided herself. She knew it wasn't exactly a right answer. Christmas could've been better if she had someone to celebrate it with. "Merry Christmas"

she said staring into the coffee cup for a few moments. She was deeply engrossed in her thoughts when a sudden blink of light caught her attention. Who could possibly be here at this time of night? Who could possibly venture into the office on Christmas night? And why would anyone for that matter do so? She heard footsteps across her cabin and got alarmed. Is it someone among the employees? But which nutcase employ would spend Christmas night working in the deserted cold office All alone than celebrating with their family? Excluding me ofcourse. What if he's a thief? People with common sense know that we don't keep any sort of money or funds in this building, they would better visit the office's bank locker than sneak in here. And sneaking in here isn't titbit easy without having the MasterCard. The office would've pulled an automatic lock down if someone even tried and by this time sirens would've been echoing in here. What if it is... wait' she stopped her mind from drifting off to another guess. Neither am I trying to figure out an answer in my exams nor writing a bloody mystery novel here to keep guessing about the other occupant of this building . I can just walk out and check and that's what I'm going to do. Picking up the heaviest file from her cupboard she walked out of her cabin. Heaviest file because incase that person turns out to be a psychopath killer or a dangerous mugger she could throw the file on his face and run. Carefully stepping out she looked around to check when she heard sounds of things shifting and someone's footsteps coming from her boss' cabin. So the intruder has found out where the ceo's cabin is. How fast. Gathering all her courage and tightening her hold on her file she moved towards her boss' cabin and fiddling with the knob swung it open to come face to face with the baffled similiar tall , fair, dark brown haired figure of her employer, his chocolate brown eyes boring into hers.

"madhu?" his voice sent shivers down her spine at same time spreading some warmth in her heart. Was that even possible?

"hello sir" that was the only words that came out of her mouth.

For a few seconds he kept staring at her unable to comprehend what was happening.

wearing her formal winter coat, She was here, with a file in her hands, in my office as it was a very normal thing to do on Christmas night.

"what are you doing here madhu?"

"well ... I... just now what will I tell him? Shit shit shit. I thought sneaking into office at Christmas night was a very safe thing to do and no one would know about it yet ended up walking into the one who shouldn't have known about it. Who would've expected him here at this time. Now what to tell him, that I came here with this file for fishing? Wait a minute, the file

"well ... sir I came here to complete filing this you see "she said holding the file a bit forward for him to see. " as you know I don't like delaying my work she said trying to make believe her words with a short sweet smile.

He reached her in two strides. "filing papers? , "yes sir, "along with coffee and chocolate cake he said wiping the bit of came that was sticking out on her lips making her shiver in his touch.

Crap crap crap. Why did I do that? My stupid impulsive pervert of a hand. I should just ki... kiss it' what no. Kick it. That was what I wanted to say. Oh really? You meant the first one only . Don't try to evade from it.

"that.. I.. I was feeling hungry "

she somehow found a reason. she took a closer look at him. How come her stoneheaded boss look this handsome? As if an Adonis carved out of shiny marble, he should be looking like a dead rotten rat for the chauvinistic moron he was. Yet you did feel something more for that chauvinistic moron he was. Shut Up.

"you're here because you were drowned in melancholy and felt pathetic at being so and came here thinking to grieve about it alone so that none would question you"

he stated making her eyes go wide in shock, embarrassment , fury and hilarity?

"it's nothing like that she rebuked. "then why're you here? , " because I wanted sneak out of that god damned place and be at peace for sometime" she said crossing her hands to her chest. "and you came here?" , " the roads were blocked also and I didn't have any other place to go". he gazed down at her feeling something heavy melting down in his chest. For a moment, for just a moment she felt a flicker of emotion cross his eyes and she knew why.

"how did you reach here?" he asked suddenly as it struck him.

"I took a cab" she shrugged.

"at this time of night you ventured out of home in a stranger's car?" he asked as his has tightened and his calms fisted hard which was not gone un noticed . Again just a shrug.

"are you out of your mind? How can you be so careless? What if something happened to you?"

"And why do you care?" she asked with a smirk crossing her lips.

"I don't favour wasting my time in funerals and hunting for another secretary "

"oh really?" she asked stepping closer to him making him go still in his place. Her palm slowly rose up to his cheek and caressed it ever so lightly. What possibly could he reply. Composing herself she stepped back.

"Anyways what brings you here?" she probed her employer. " if I should remind you miss mallik, I'm the owner of this company " he stated in his usual cold steel tone. "let me rephrase my question, what brings you here at Christmas night instead of spending time with your mom and dad?" , " same goes for you " he retorted. "I don't have them but you do. So no it doesn't go for me" that hurt. It pricked his heart which according to him never knew to feel emotions. But he couldn't show that he cared , could he? "I'm not fond of all this. These celebrations festivals and all just a waste of time. And neither my parents feel my presence a necessity for going on with their plans" He said turning away. "So you've done nothing according to the traditions?" she proved though she very well knew her answer. "traditions be damned. I'm not concerned about all that and I never was" he replied freezing her with an ice cold stare. "alright so what are you doing here now? I'm cent percent sure you don't have any particular work now. So how did you pass without wasting your previous time?" she slightly taunted. "I.. "

He uncomfortably shifted between his table and the wall. Following his gaze she spotted a n elegant box placed on his table and was about to near it when he stopped her by pulling her to himself and she bumped on to him with her body pressed against his hard chest. Both froze at that moment.Every inch of their body could feel each other , they stood there so close, so warm. "Don't , "what is in that?" she asked. "nothing important," "then what where you doing with it?" , "thinking ", "thinking what?" , "thinking ways to give it to someone", "to give it to someone?" she asked curiously

"yes

"to your friend?

"no

"to your mother?

"no

"to your father?

"no

"to your girlfriend? Wait how come you have a girlfriend? (He felt a anger building up in her as she said that. But soon covered up saying) you despise female population on the whole.

"to your brother or sister?

"I'm an only child

"to your nei...

"To you" he said tired of her list of guesses. "to me? "her eyes widened at the thought of him buying something for her.

"yes "

"a present?" she asked her eyes gleaming with surprise amusement and joy. He didn't reply.

"You bought a present for me?" , " no. I bought it when I was twelve. Didn't have anyone to give it to. So thought to give it to you and get rid of it. It's not an important commodity. Pretty cheap of cost"

She grinned hearing him. He would never say but she knew.

"can I see it please? " he left her and she reached out for the box with a huge smile and opened it to see a beautiful metal photo frame. She slowly caressed it feeling it as if feeling him. It's been with him from when he was small. It's quite lucky to have been with him and that itself makes it special for her.

"did you like it? " he asked whispering in her ears moving more close to her.

"this might not be important to you but it's the most important thing for me." The depth of her words made his heart swell with unfathomable pleasure. "thank you" she said looking back at his eyes, trying to decipher his gaze. They looked up hearing the chirping of two sparrows who must've flew in from the open windows to see The green circle of the leaves of parasitic plant with few berries hanging on top of his cabin's fireplace with few small bells hanging down from it.

Who the hell hung that up in my cabin? I had instructed or in better words warned my employees not to do any sorts of decoration in my cabin. Then who dared to do it. This can't be happening, not here, not now. I shouldn't lose it.

"there's this old tradition you see, when two people meet under a mistletoe on Christmas they're supposed to... "

"they're just mere useless customs resulting in waste of time. Traditions be da.. " He couldn't finish as he was pulled down by her and her lips smashed onto his as they delved more into him. His hands automatically went down to her waist pulling her more to himself as they shared a breathtaking kiss.

"I don't think this is something to be what you were trying to say. Did it feel mere useless nothing to you? " she murmered against his lips. Her question was answered this time with the smashing of his lips on hers. "I thought you'd again recite traditions are to be..." She was stopped by another smashing of lips. "miss madhu", "yes sir", "something's have exceptions "

All traditions aren't to be damned. Don't you agree
