Madhu was blushing while she was sitting in the taxi..as Rk sat beside her and they were going to their home sweet home..but along with them there were some other family members too..she was stealing glances of him and to her surprise ..he was also stealing glances of her..and smiled but he was too aware that some might not caught them like this..
After marriage ..Madhu came Mumbai ..and she didn't have any idea of Mumbai ..the least she knew was that it's a big city and its famous for movies ..shopping ..places to visit for ..its a dream city and she was happy to hear that..but when she entered in home ..she was shocked to see that there is not even a room for two of them ..Rishabh and Madhu ..they will be going to live in the left over space in kitchen ..
means half portion is used as kitchen and half is given to them as their "ROOMwith one small size bed in one corner ..when she saw that ..she was like how will she manage here infact them both ..she looked into Rishabh's eyes and he was smiling ..may be he is habitual of that kind of living but she is not ..her wanted to know Rishabh's thoughts on this ..she was a simple girl but like other girls ..she also has dreams about her life ..her home ..he husband..and her Uncle brought up in such a atmosphere even after living in a village that ..she was no less than a modern town girl ..her Tauji [uncle ] Balraj was very broadminded and he took all decisions related to Kids ..children .. rather than her own father Shamsher, and all accept their decisions too ..Madhu was his fav among all children in family ..and she was pampered too a lot by him .
~~~~0~~~~
Her chain of thoughts broke up when she heard Rishabh's voice ..he was telling her to take blessings from his mom and dad ..she did the same and they all went to their respective places ..after giving them blessings and good wishes ..and her MIL said something to Deepali Bhabhi ..[Rishbah's Bhabhi, Her elder bro Sikandar's wife] and went..
Deepali was quite cool and looking different among them ..she was addressing Rishabh as Rk ..and when Deepali guessed that she [Madhu] is giving strange looks ..she said ..Madhubala ..your name is like a filmy heroine so I am also giving devarji [Son in law] filmy name ..his initials also match na ..RK ..and for you too its short and he will call you Madhu ...kyu hai na devarji ..
she winked at RK oops Rishabh ..oops ..Rk ..uff she got confused ..she just wanted to talk to Rk ..
"ok Rk is right ..she will call him Rk too ..thanks to Deepali Bhabhi ..she thought ..
"Bhabhi kya aap bhi ..leave it na ..he starting shuffling his hair ..
Rk blushed ..and Deepali laughed ..Sikandar aka Sikky bhai stopped her ..
"Deepali let them go inside na..chalo ..kamre main chalo ..
"Haan haan chal rahi hoon ..i know they are just waiting for us to go ..ok devraniji ..have a great night ..she winked again ..making Madhu blushed plus she was feeling awkward too ..
Than Deepali came near her ..pressed her hand and said ..Madhu ..if you need anything ..tell me ..
Madhu nodded in no ..she said naughtily.." enjoy than "and went along with Sikky ..their room and RK-Madhu's so called room was side by side ..when she entered in kitchen ..she could heard their voices if she focus on that..so its like they can also hear their talks too ..OMG!! ..saw her lost in thoughts again ..Rk hold her hand and removed her heavy dupatta ..she came into senses and seeing what RK is doing ..she was blushing ..he embraced her in his arms ..like protecting her ..first time she smelled him and he smelled her ..they hugged each other ..don't know why but Madhu wanted to cry ..for missing her home and family more or seeing the situation here ..she could not understand ..she said to her heart ..everything will be fine ..don't worry..
"You must be feeling tired ..come sit ..he parted and let her sit on the single bed ..she sat and just she sat on it ..it started making noises ..churr "charrshe just than stood up ..and two tears came from her eyes ..Rk too felt embarrassed like her ..and hold her and said "Sorry ..woh ...ye ..actually its not new ..so ..it demands repair I guess ..i didn't need it as I slept on common terrace ..but now..i will get it repaired ..sorry I didn't knew its condition ..
"Its ok..but I can't sit on it ..i hope you understand ..
"Yes yes ..don't sit ..let's make another arrangement ..there is still space left so we can manage on floor ..if you say yes..i know its very..
She cut him in half ..and said ..No prob ..i will manage ..but pls speak in low voice ..i mean ..
"Yes yes ..i understand ..[he whispered ] ok let's do than ..
He understand about reason of speaking in low voice ..
She was feeling lil good as atleast he is supportive which is most imp but what the hell is this room cum kitchen ? how they will manage there?
~~~~0~~~~
They took mattress from single bed and laid down on that mattress ..on floor ..
Rk tried to be close to her and wanted to touch her rosy lips when she just stood up and went near a small window ..in that "ROOM that was open ..
Rk asked what happened ? and she stated that she is scared if somebody might see them ..its open window after all ..so she wanted to shut it ..Rk smiled and close the window pane..she smiled and her face turned crimson red ..her heart was beating very fast and worried too ...about the whole situation ..it was not fel good situation ..but what she could do ? and what could Rk do at that time plsu new marriage and their feeling for each other were high too ..Madhu said yes for alliance as she liked Rk and he too was lost in her when he saw her first in village..
~~~~0~~~~
Rk came close to her and wanted to kiss her and he claimed her soft ..rose petals like lips and she too closed her eyes ..but but..
Someone was knocking the door and they didn't understand at first ..than she realized..its Deepali Bhabhi's voice ..they both parted ..Rk rushed to the door and Deepali Bhabhi came saying ..
"Sorry to disturb you but what to do ..today water came in early morning due to some reason ..which we don't know ..and we have shortage of water here so ..we have to fill buckets and all ..as we got this extra advantage ..sorry ..sorry haan Madhu ..she smiled and kept smiling naughtily ..and started pouring water in different utensils ..buckets ..containers etc..
Madhu was like she has no blood in the body ..it was such an awkward situation and plus Rk's face too was pale seeing her face..she started pulling mattress as she didn't wanted to give any "hint to Bhabhi ..Rk too helped her but they couldn't hide like that .. she saw Bhabhi smiling seeing their "arrangement "
Their "effort.
Madhu could see on her face ..what she must be thinking ..and she felt so awkward ..that she left the kitchen.
~~~~0~~~~
Whole day rituals got performed ..one or the other ..and she was too tired till night plus she didn't got chance to talk to Rk..
When Deepali told her that the work of kitchen is ended ..and said "All yours " with a naughty smile ..don't know why but she felt good rather than feeling teased or annoyed..may be coz she was going to talk to Rk in private as whole day they didn't get one minute coz of cont. coming and going of guests ..relatives ..that too in that small home in that chawl..how can people live in chawl ? she could not understood?
Rk was waiting for her to comr and he already sat the mattress on floor..when she came ..he smiled and said ..said "You want to change ?than change clothes ..i am waiting . ..and just than Madhu heard lil laughter from bhabhi's room ..she must be listening as and she was like frozen on that moment..its enough ..their is no privacy..she hinted Rk to talk slowly and seeing his cute face ..giving the look that what he has done ? she smiled ..by now she knew that Rishabh..is so nice guy ..so decent ..
Rk came near her as she nodded in no ..as she has changed clothes already before ..
He took out a small packet from his pocket and and gave it to her ..it was Gazra [flower band for hair ..worn around hair bun ]she looked so happy and he tucked it in her hair..smelling her ..getting close to her and Madhu's all upset ness gone and she hugged him ..they were in process to understand each other ..till now hardly they could talk properly ..
"Madhu tum theek ho na ..tumhe ghar ki yaad aa rahi hogi ..you must be remembering home and family ..
"Haan ..yes ..ofcourse and now its my family too ..i am fine ..
"Madhu I am sorry for what happened last night ..
"Its ok..not your fault ..and she blushed ..
"You are so sweet ..just like your name "Madhu "Bhabhi said ..yours name -filmy name ..and truly you are like a heroine ..he appreciated in such a lovely way ..
"And my hero is you ..she buried her face in his chest after saying this ..he lifted her face up and said "where do you want to go ? we can go ..tell me ..few days leave I have more..
"I ..i ..don't know ..and she wanted him to suggest place first ..she also has no idea about Mumbai ..
"Ok than I will show you whole Mumbai one by one..we will go ..and he ticked her hair strands behind her ears ..
"You look so b'ful in gajra ..i will bring it daily ..
"No need to bring it daily ..we have to save money na ..
"You are so smart too ..just like your tauji said ..
"I am missing Tauji very much ..
"Don't worry ..we will go to your house too soon ..
Talking with RK washed away all her anger and she was finding peace in his arms ..he asked her to lay down and just than a rat came over their mattress ..and Madhu screamed on top of her lungs ..she was hell scared of rat..she hugged him tightly ..Rk was trying to calm her down but she was not stopping ..soon all family members were present there ..and asking what happened? When they were told that a rat came than all started laughing ..and told Madhu that its not new thing ..but now they are habitual ..
She will be also get habitual soon ..Madhu was like what type of people they are ? she was hell annoyed and she didn't said anything ..than they all went and Deepali Bhabhi whispered in her ear..
"I thought Rk has done something ...but no prob ..now rat gone ..and if it comes again ..Rk will handle it..and she left laughing ..which made Madhu more annoyed ..and she went and slept over the single bed ..Rk was looking at her cute face with traces of anger ..
~~~~0~~~~
Two days more passed ..but same situation ..and by some or the other reason Rk -Madhu didn't spent time together ..
Rk decided to go for movie ..he thought ..may be she will feel good but what the hell that happened ? but to her surprise ..that happened !!
he himself didn't thought of it ..
----------------
New update
Part 2
Rk thought to go for a movie but all in vain ..as Madhu's has headache that day ..he planned next day but than there was some function in chawl and all have to go there ..
He was hell annoyed ..third day..his bro gave him two passes to watch a play ..which their group organized which they were part of ..[Sikky and Deepali used to act in plays and have their own group.]
Deepali came to Madhu and said "Madhu ..why don't you go and see the latest play of our group ..go and enjoy ..and then came near and whispered in her ear..And if you don't want to go ..let's pretend and go some other place ..i will tell sasuma that you are going to watch play..and winked at her..
Madhu felt embarrassed and that time Rk also entered there and she looked at him and her face turned crimson red ..Deepali pressed her hand and went from there laughing silently..
Rk was ruffling his hairs ..
~~~~
They went to see play only as Madhu didn't want to lie to sasuma ..Rk agreed too ..but they did this that
After that they went to Juhu chaupati and chatted there for long..it seemed Madhu was very happy today and Rk wanted to get close to her ..wanted to embraced her in his arms ..wanted to shout out that how much he is in love with her ..but she denied and said that some one will see them and its not good to be like this in public ..why he is so shameless here? and she started blushing ..Rk found her so cute..he wanted to kiss her ..he wanted to talk to her a lot and Madhu's condition was also like that..
Both were comfortable more with each other..but still they were far apart ..there hearts met ..their souls met but they were still in process to be close to each other and some or the other thing happened.
~~~~
Sometime passed ..one day Madhu's tauji came without prior noticed and it was like a storm ..he came and he saw the arrangements ..the home..and he was hell angry ..not a single room for his dearest Madhu?Not proper arrangement and they all live in such a small place? He said ..he will not tolerate it any more and asked Madhu too that why she didn't tell him till now? Why she is bearing it and how ?He is feeling guilty to put her life in such a mess ..he didn't knew about this all ..he never thought that in Mumbai ..big city ..there is not enough space for her Madhu? and asked her to go with her immediately ..he was very angry and though all at home .Sikky ..Madhu's inlaws ..Deepali all tried hard to convince them that its not a prob and they will do something soon ..yet Tauji were not ready to listen anything..
Madhu too tried to speak but he was in so bad mood and he knew his tauji so well..
Rk was not at home ..and by the time he came ..Madhu had gone with her Tauji ..Deepali told Rk that she didn't wanted to go and it was clear from her eyes and face that she don't want to leave Rk but she had no choice..
Rk gone mad ..he never thought like this ..his Madhu left him ? but fault is his too along with family..they should have told the situation before marriage ..but they didn't thought that way ..but now what can be done ?
He immediately stood up and asked his friend Mukund to give the leave application in office as he is going to Madhu's place.. no one could stop him and he left ..
~~~~
He reached there but how to meet Madhu ? he went to a rest house ..thankfully he got one ..o/w he was not hoping to get any there..but now all place were developing ..and that's good..
He knew by Madhu's talks that she has habit of plucking flowers from garden in morning ..he waited there in morning ..two days passed ..no one came ..he was sad but on third day Madhu along with her friend ..he tried to call and her friend saw him and told Madhu and they met than ..seeing Madhu he could not control and hugged her tightly..Madhu's condition was also no less ..she was also dying to meet Rk but she knew her Tauji's anger too ..she was waiting for him to calm down and than she will talk to her she thought but now Rk is here ..she was so happy that her love is true..
Rk told her that he want to meet Tauji and he will sort it out ..Madhu was scared a bit but Rk was determined and so she took him to home ..he was greeted so well by his inlaws but Tauji was not happy and taunt him of not being capable to treat his wife well ..to not able to give her basic necessities of life.
"Tauji ..i understand and I will not say I was right ..yes I was wrong and I admit and I want to rectify my mistake ..i want to give Madhu all happiness and first of all a nice home if not big one right now ..but I will try my best ..i will do part time job too ..but will manage in sometime ..but pls don't break this relationship at any cost ..pls I request you ..i..i..
"Hmm..what you will earn in some time ? all rubbish ..you didn't thought it till now and when Madhu is here ..you are saying this?
Rk tried to convince hardly and all family members supported him too but Tauji didn't ..after Madhu interfered and said in low voice but confidently that she also want to give him a chance and its not that she don't want to live there..the whole family is very nice and love her so much ..she noticed till now ..than he agreed to give Rk a chance ..
He asked Rk to earn atleast some decent amount in one month which can prove his worth ..and than he will allow him to meet Madhu ..
Rk agreed and said "Seperation is must as it will motivate me more for hard work and to meet Madhu soon..thank you so much Tauji ..
"And Tauji ..i will also support him as I am his wife and I can't leave him like this ..i love you so much and I can't hurt you ..yes I was so angry on him too but now realized ..its not that big prob and he is ready to solve it..so pls forgive me and allow me to help him ..i will take tuitions and will apply for teacher's job..i have done teacher training and I want to do job too ..you also want me to do this na..pls give us your blessings ..
Tauji was so touched yet remained strick but pretended to melted a bit..he allowed them to do in this way ..
he touched his feet and left.Madhu later on meet him in rest house and he said ..he will soon come to take her ..they hugged and tears rolled from their eyes ..
~~~~
Rk was doing so much hard work..he started doing part time job and remind himself everytime he saw Madhu's pic that he will bring her home soon..Madhu also started taking tuitions and applied for teacher's job ..she was earning too ..and tried to even go for home tuitions as well as they will pay her more ..
Rk also started doing overtime on Sundays too ..his family was supportive too..they too realized that its not easy to live like this esp one girl who has left everything and came to their home ..which is going to be her dream home ..about Deepali and Sikky ..they had love marriage and Deepali-Sikky had her own room ..so not much prob for them ..infact Sikky once suggested Rk too that he can take Madhu to some guest house or hotel and they can spent time together their ..their love life should be moving now ..for how long they will be like this ? but when Madhu got to know about it ..she didn't like the idea but she knew by than that Deepali Bhabhi and Sikky does the same and enjoying themselves in alone..far away from house ..
She agreed after Rk requested her more and more and they went to a hotel and booked a room too ..but to their bad ..there was a raid in that hotel than only and police came in search of a racket there who supplies girls to clients ..though they were husband -wife ..but they could be under scanner too ..thanks to the waiter there who was impress by Madhu so much as she called him bahiyaji and gave respect ..he told them fastly and ask them to run from back door..
Thankfully they got saved but Madhu was cursing that day and eventually Rk had to sleep in balcony for some days till Madhu's anger and she herself calm down ..Rk remembered ..
~~~~~
Madhu too remembered an incident happened those days ..seeing Rk and Madhu's condition ..Deepali and Sikky made a plan..they went to see a movie and ask their parents too and all of them..whole family went to see movie ..Sikky told Rk to be at home with Madhu and spent time together where no one will be there to disturb them ..Rk and Madhu were so happy and Madhu made the dinner..and she was serving it in room but Rk went into the kitchen and hugged her form back ..
"Madhu..aaj ki shaam hamare naam ..tum aur main..jaldi se khana khatam karte hain ...theek hai ..ya phir khana rahne dete hain ..leave it ..and he was about to kiss him ..when she pushed him a lil..
"No way ..khana maine banaya hai itne man se..pahle khana ..
"Ok than feed me with your hands ..i am not gonna eat it ..
"You are so childish sometimes..
"I will show how much I am childish and how much I am ...she shut his mouth ..laughed and started feeding him after coming to room ..they were having dinner with all love in their eyes when someone knocked the door and there was Deepali's sis and brother in law and and not to mention ..their dinner and their night got ruined and everyone except them enjoyed ..as their parents changed the program after Sikky insisting that they should go for a religious movie and parents agreed ..infact their parents went to juhu chaupati and spent time together ..chatted there as one of Sikky's friend saw them there and Sikky himself took Deepali for an English movie they wanted to see..Sikky shared this all to Rk and Rk was like he is the biggest fool and same Madhu felt for herself ..all in all its quite difficult to manage your own time in a busy city like Mumbai and with so small rooms..so less space..so couples try different things to spent time together ..she understood that ..at least in her case.
Their story is diff and one can not easily believe that even after living under one roof they were so far away in one sense ..
~~~~
Days passed and soon one month passed ..Rk was counting the earnings he had that month ..and some rupees were less ..he thought ..just than Sikky came and gave him some rupees ..Rk was surprised but he didn't took the money and said "Bhaiya ..i will not take this ..i have to earn enough to show them ..i can keep their daughter well ..i will do something more ..i will sell my watch to earn some money ..
"Shut up and listen to me ..i know you are not of that type ..i was just helping you coz not only you but Madhu is also missing you lots..and your Bhabhi Deepali is in touch with her you know..you just keep this money and when Madhu will come back home..you can return it later on and also if your conscience don't allow ..than give me your watch and take it later on..after paying money..that will suit you na ?
We have taken advance from a play producer so just keep it and go to bring Madhu..and don't think you are incapable ..you are very much capable and we will soon find a good house..
Rk hugged his bro and he was so touched and getting emotional ..
He went to Madhu's home and put the money in front of them ..Tauji saw it ..count it and than Madhu also came and gave her share to Tauji ..it was all together a decent amount to which Tauji could not say no but he revealed one thing that he was just taking exam of Rk and he is passed with flying colors..
Infact both Rk -Madhu's love is true and he was just watching what Madhu's place in his life ..and he is sure now that whether he has not better place for Madhu in his house but he has defo given his heart to Madhu and she lives there.
Madhu blushed and Rk smiled ..like some burden removed from him..but he told them that some money is given by his bhai and he will return it to him soon..Tauji was impressed from his honesty and hugged him and Madhu both ..he allowed him to take Madhu..and gave them their blessings..
~~~~
Rk now managed to arrange a separate home in chawl as big house in that money was not possible ..
So they decided to do this that Rk-Madhu will live in separate home and Rk's parents will be living like 3 months in their home and 3 months in Rk-Madhu's home ..in this way ..their joint family system will not break ..and Madhu and Rk will also not be feeling guilty for breaking home..as Deepali and Sikky too will come there for sometime and no space prob also will be than ..and soon they will change the home ..and will take a big home and they all will try for it ..all agreed to this infact Tauji also came and saw all this arrangement ..and for first three months ..Rk -Madhu will be going to live alone ..
They inaugurated home and its going to be their first day in that home ..after pooja all gave them blessings and left ..
Rk closed the door and hugged her tightly ..she too was dying to be in his arms but got blushed and for the sake of saying said ..Leave me ..
"Not gonna leave you ..just giving you five min to get ready ..i will too go and fresh n up ..and gave her a flying kiss..he left and she smiled ..finally they have their space..
She started humming ..
piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
mere piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
abhi aate honge, abhi aayenge wo
mulakate hongi, ho kayi bate hongi
piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
naino se to nain mile hai waise hum din rain mile
naino se to nain mile hai waise hum din rain mile
mile sada mele, me mile na akele me
milam wo aadha tha, pura milan aaj hai
piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
She was placing things and singing ..blushing and her face turned crimpson red..
kaisi rut hai ye matwali sara ghar hai khali khali
kaisi rut hai ye matwali sara ghar hai khali khali
koi nahi roke jo, roke hame toke jo
yaha se waha tak mera ho to raz hai
piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
mai to chunri odh lungi aaye ho to muh mod lungi
mai to chunri odh lungi aaye ho to muh mod lungi
ghunghta na kholungi, saiya ji se bolungi
chhodo na chedo na, aati mujhe laz hai
piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
abhi aate honge, abhi aayenge wo
mulakate hongi, ho kayi bate hongi
piya ka ghar hai ye, rani hun main, rani hun ghar ki
she was acting like Rk came and she is covering her face and just than Rk came and hold her hand ..
he was looking so fresh ..with water droplets dripping from his head..he shake his head and water droplets came over Madhu too ...she look down but he looked her chin up and claimed her lips ..it was such a soothing kiss ..Madhu reciprocated too ..soulmates were dying to become one and they didn't waste any more time and went to their room where Madhu just saw the decorated room..Rk said ..in hurry he decorated room and so locked the room for surprise..she loved it and buried her face in his chest ..he knew ..she is getting emotional ..
"Biwi ..ab bas ..no more tears ..haan..sabne hamara saath diya par sabse badkar tumne mera saath diya ..trust kiya mujhpar ..i am so lucky to have you ..
"Patidev..aapne bhi toh mere liye ye sab kiya ..ye main kabhi nah bhulungi..
"I love you ..
"I love you too "
"Ab bas wohi gao jo gaa rahi thi ..PIya ka ghar hai ye ..he smiled and winked
"Aapne sun liya ?
"Haan and I loved it ..
He lift her in his arms and switch off the lights saying ..now no one will come..no rat ..no bat..listening this ..she laughed and he joined her too ..both laughed and he sealed her lips with a deep kiss.it was their time.
