Chapter 10
Aditya was shocked at Shamsher's answer. "Baba, what are you talking?"
Shamsher walked away, he did not wanted to face Aditya who had built so many dreams with the girl who left him without even thinking once.
Lata wiped her tears and went inside the kitchen.
Aditya now examined everyone in the house, he was sure that something wrong was going on...something has happened in his absence... he looked at Ridhi who seemed frowning.. "Ridhi"
Aditya asked her...
Ridhi turned around "yes Aditya, I know you must be thinking about lots of things that have happened here..."
Aditya could not scan exactly what the problem was. He was still confused after Shamsher's reaction towards Madhu. He remembered the day when he saw her the first time, her innocence that drew him closer to her. Her beautiful smile that made him fall for him. "Where is Madhu?"
Aditya queried while Ridhi walked outside the garden "she has left everyone and married film star RK."
Aditya was shocked, his ears could not believe what he just heard "it's not possible" he shouted
Ridhi knew his reaction "that's true Aditya, Madhu did not thought about anyone and left us. She even humiliated Father and ruined everything. She has gone with RK to Mumbai"
Aditya closed his fist angrily and walked away.
-----------------------------------
Madhu was still burning in rage since last night. She could not sleep the whole night. She walked inside the room where RK was cosily sleeping. "How dare you sleeping peacefully after ruining my sleep and my life" she murmured angrily. Soon she heard the knock at the door, servant bought some coffee "keep it on the table" she said.
Then picked up the cup and held RK's fore finger into the hot cup. "Ouch" he screamed
"Bloody hell, what have you done?" he queried angrily raging on her
"Waking you up" she said calmly and walked away
"Stupid woman" he said and took his hand under the tap
Madhu was cutting the fruit when she saw him walking down the stairs, she raised a brow with a sarcastic look.
Devyani smiled at her son "come Rishab, join us for breakfast"
"No mom I already had a tasty dinner last night" he said adding more fuel to the fire
Devyani smile "ok, but that was last night, now its breakfast"
Rishab walked closer to the angry beauty holding a big knife "I don't think that will be as delicious as last night" he took a slice of apple and walked away making Madhu more furious. She frowned at RK. "Do I have to give you special invitation to start your work?" he smirked
Madhu was now more upset, she took a deep breath and walked towards the door.
After sometime
Madhu was still holding the umbrella, it was hot indeed and she was almost sweating and cursing him under her breath. She had neatly plaited her hair and adjusted her dupatta twice. Rk was still slowly reading the script and turned to have to look at the arrogant face standing on his head.
Madhu frowned again while looking at him then looked elsewhere, he smiled and got up from his seat and walked towards his van. Madhu unfortunately had to follow him "monster" she muttered.
While getting into the van her knot of her thread on the back of her suit got stuck in the door. She turned to take out the knot, in anger she pulled it vigorously that shredded the suit from her back. She heard the sound of her suit being tattered. Embarrassingly she slipped into the van and draped herself with her dupatta.
Rk looked at her in the mirror, though he wasn't facing her but he could read the nervousness on her fair face. "What happened sweetheart?" he smirked and turned around
She was already nervous and now he was standing in front of her... she felt dreadful and wanted to jump into some river and die. "It's none of your business" ironically she replied back.
Rk took another step and walked towards her "how can you say it's not my business?"
She stepped back "yes it's my life, it's my problem. So stay away from me"
"Your life?" he laughed "wrong sweetheart" his hand reached her fair cheeks
She tried moving his hand away but instead he caught hold of her hand and pulled her towards himself "you don't have a life now...you are my slave. I have the full control over your life and on everything you do" he said looking into her eyes. She only wondered about her torn shirt from the back and cursed RK who did not even leave her alone for a minute.
Slowly her dupatta slide down her shoulders and fell on the seat. She pushed him away and tried to pick up her dupatta. Rk held her from her shoulder "what do you think of yourself?" he tightly hold her. Helpless she looked at him but she knew she will never give up. With anger in her eyes she stared at him "go away". That was enough for RK "no I won't"
Finally she had to speak up to get rid of him "my clothes are torn and I cannot come with you anymore." She clarified.
He stepped back a little "clothes torn?"
He then saw the straps of her bra visible from the shoulder. He saw her embarrassed face, for that moment something passed him and he felt pity for her. For the first time he wanted to help her. She was looking down. While he took of his jacket and walked behind her. His eyes fell on her fair skin that looked enormously beautiful. He saw the suit was actually torn half way. He kept the jacket on her shoulder and walked out of the van.
She was surprised by his act. Then quickly wore his jacket. She felt relieved.
-----------------------------------
Aditya was sitting near the same river where he used to meet Madhu every day. With wet eyes he scanned the whole place. He looked at the same old stone that had his and Madhu's name engraved. He picked it up and threw in the river. Deep inside he knew Madhu was not that girl who would go after money or property. There must be something that must have pushed Madhu to take this step. He thought of getting into the root of this. He thought of meeting Madhu and clarifying everything.
Lata was still crying in the kitchen. She remembered how Madhu used to help everyone in the family, how she would support her Father and sister. She knew her husband would never accept Madhu again. She felt helpless and terrible. She wanted to meet her Daughter, see if she is happy or not. Her mind was constantly worried for Madhu.
Aditya went to the shops around the small town and spoke to one of his dear friends who had a small caf. "Hi Abdul" he called out
Abdul was happy to see Aditya "how are you my Brother" he hugged Aditya whom he saw after a long time.
Aditya looked different. Abdul remembered how Aditya used to make fun of everyone and how he lived his life. "What happened Adi... you look worried?" Abdul offered him a chair
Aditya looked around then wiped a tear "do you know what happened to Madhu? Why did she marry that film star?"
Abdul knew Aditya will ask him.
----------------------------------------------
Rk and Madhu walked inside the house... both did not talk since afternoon. She went straight to her room to change her clothes...
RK as usual opened his bottle of wine and sat on his favourite couch. He recalled the moment when he felt pity for the girl who humiliated him in front of the whole town and instead of taking revenge he offered her help.
Madhu took off the jacket and still thought about RK offering for help. That was hard to believe, was he playing something else with her. She was now in more doubt.
