Karvachauth night...
Madhu wore a beautiful pink saree and silver earrings.She wore a bead chain and matching bangles.
Anjali watched it.She was confused.
"Why is Madhu dressing up like this?I don't think she has eaten something since morning.Is she fasting for someone?How is it possible?"
All were waiting for the moon.Finally the moon appeared.
"Wow!The moon has appeared".Anjali was happy.Madhu was thrilled as it was new to her.Anjali noticed Madhu watching them.
Kavya stood near by Anjali.They smile at each other.
Anjali viewed the moon's reflection in a vessel filled with water, through a sieve.She offered water to the moon to secure its blessings.She then turned to her husband Kavya and viewed his face indirectly in the same manner.Kavya smiled at her.
Suddenly Anjali was haunted by Madhu's change.Her face became dull.
Kavya fed her water with a smile.He fed her with the first morsel of the day;a sweet.They smiled at each other.
Anjali turned back.Madhu was not there.She got tensed.
"Where is Madhu?"
Madhu was surprised to see RK dressed up as a Sardar.
"Wow RK.Superb.I never thought that you could change like this.No one would recognise you".
RK smiled.
"I observed the Karvachauth procedure from Kavya Bhayya and Anjali bhabhi.Let us do that now".
"Ok".RK smiled.
Madhu viewed the moon through a sieve.Then she closed her eyes and said a brief prayer asking for her RK's long life.
She turned to RK
and viewed his face through the sieve.He smiled.
RK takes water from a pot and gives Madhu her first sip.
"Just like the moon may my Madhu always shine brightly",RK said.
Madhu smiled at him.
"RK...when you are with me i will shine like the moon".
They smile at each other.
"RK..now i will feed you water".
"Why?"
"I know that even you have not eaten anything.You also fasted".
He smiled.
She fed him water.
"Ok Madhu..i have to go now".
"Bye RK".
He ran away.
Anjali watched it from behind.She was shocked.
"My God!Madhu is in love.But who is that man?He is a Sardar".
Anjali shared it with Kavya.
Kavya was shocked.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Kavya.I saw her with a man".
Kavya did not know how to react.
"I'm worried Kavya".
"Anjali...don't be upset.What if it's for good.Her present man might shower happiness on her".
"May be.But what if he comes to know about her past?Then what will happen?I can't even imagine".
Kavya became mentally upset.
"He should never know her past.I will never let him know her past".
"But Kavya..is that practical?Truth will come out one day".
"No..Madhu's truth should never get revealed".
Kavya was adamant.
