Hello everyone, this is a one shot fanfic. Let me warn you, it is a little mature subject, not in the sense of physical intimacy but the subject is a little dark. So if you have issues in this type of dark stories please don't read it. This is the first time I am writing a dark subject, it is not my fort so please leave your comments, I would really appreciate. Because I am used to writing light hearted stories, so please comment.

You want a love that consumes you.

- Damon to Elena in The Vampire Diaries

RK sat leisurely in his pent house as he drank the hot coffee his wife had made for him just before she hurried to get ready for the day ahead, even though he had servants running around the house, his wife insisted on cooking for him. He was about to take the newspaper from the table when he heard the door open. He looks at the door to see his faithful manager running to him huffing - puffing. He watches him in mild interest as he wondered what could have rattled his stuck-up manager so much that he forgot his manners. "Chief... Chief..." Buttuji started as he tried to catch his breath and divulge his important news at the same time. "Take your time, Bittuji. It's not like I have anything else to do." RK says sarcastically. "Chief..." Bittuji starts again and stops, not because he was short of breath but because he heard the door open. RK looked at the bedroom door and saw his wife walking out hurriedly and then hurrying back to the room with her towel in hand, absentmindedly smiling at Bittuji and him. He watched as the door closed wondering what was up with her? She seemed preoccupied and absentminded for the last two days. He wondered what the matter was, he wanted to ask her but then they didn't have that kind of a communication. He took whatever he wanted from her while she kept giving and giving. The darkness he hated so much was slowly creeping up in his heart again. Did she decide she had enough of his cruelty? Did she decide she had enough of him? Was she contemplating on leaving him? What will he do if she leaves? As much as he hated admitting it, she was all he had and the one he loved.

"Chief..." Bittuji's voice broke into his thoughts. The fear of his wife leaving suddenly gripping his heart, RK turned to the Bittuji and coldly says "I am not paying you to keep chanting Chief Chief. If you want to say something then tell me or just get lost. One more time you say Chief, you will be looking for a new Chief." RK tells him all the while staring him down. No one could hold his stare except for his wife. Having lost his patience, RK decides to check on his wife, just to make sure she didn't leave him. RK mentally kicked himself for such an absurd thought; there was no way she could have got out of the bedroom without him seeing. He was about to walk to the room when Bittuji again stopped him. "Chief." RK losing his patience was about to lash out at him when he noticed Bittuji looking at his bedroom to make sure it is closed. RK held his tongue, as whatever Bittuji wants to tell him he didn't want his wife to find out. Did it have something to do with his wife? Maybe this is the reason she seemed distant, RK quickly corrects himself ...no.. not distant, she never distanced herself from him except for the initial days of their marriage.. she seemed preoccupied. Today, he had to ask her for the coffee, unlike other days when she and coffee would be waiting for him in the morning. "What is it?" RK asks in a chilling voice. Looking at the closed door for one last time, Bittuji tells him "Last night, they arrested him." "Who?" RK asks knowing well who Bittuji was talking about. "Dutta. It is in the paper." Bittuji tells him as he hurriedly picks up the newspaper from the table and handing it to RK as he pointed out the news article.

RK read the news three times before he left his breath. After 17 years, finally his arch-enemy was brought to justice. He had thrown money all over the country to have Dutta brought to justice. Finally, his day had come. He had waited 17 years, 4 months and 28 days for this day. Unlike last time, this time RK will make sure Dutta pay for what he did. He still remembered the night all those years ago when Dutta had killed his father in cold blood. He had killed his father in front of him, and there was nothing a 12 year old could have done. When the police had arrested him, Dutta had threatened his mother with his life forcing her to save the man who killed her husband to save her son. RK remembered how his mother had lied in court saying RK was delusional and undergoing psychiatric treatment, and she had witnessed her husband's murder and the killer was not Dutta. And Dutta had walked scott free to become a dreaded underworld don all feared. For 17 years, RK lived with the knowledge that Dutta was living in the save earth breathing the same air that he did. But all his attempts at revenge were thwarted by his own mother who still feared Dutta and his retaliation. She had his hands tied with her fear. After his mother passed away the year before, RK started making his moves to ruin Dutta who had unfortunately gone into hiding by then. Then he had found out through his sources that Dutta very secretly met a girl in Mumbai, his girlfriend. RK jolted out of his thoughts when a thought struck him, did she know? Was that why she was behaving strangely the last two days? His insecurities starts clouding his logical thinking, ignoring the fact that Dutta was arrested last night while his wife was behaving strangely for the last two days.

RK opens the bedroom door to find his wife sitting at the dressing table applying her sindoor, she looked lost in thoughts. Seeing his reflection on the mirror she jumped up with a smile and looked at him, "RK, you wanted something? Why don't you take your bath while I fix your breakfast?" she said as she started to walk past him to leave the room. "Madhu.." RK says her name as he held her hand from going out of the room. She looks at him and lovingly touches his cheeks "Yes, RK." The darkness in his heart slowly started going away as he watched her loving face. She loved him. All her actions showed her love. She put him above everyone. Even Dutta. RK wondered whether he should tell her about Dutta, then decided to tell her as she would find out anyway about it through news and papers. He hands her the newspaper. She takes it with mild curiosity as she scanned the headlines. The moment she saw the news a sob escaped her mouth. He watched as she fell down to the floor with one hand covering her mouth as if to stop her from crying while her other hand gently caressed the photo of Dutta being dragged by the police. He could hear her feeble "no.. no..."

RK felt the darkness taking full control over his heart. No no.. she is mine. not Dutta's. She loves me. She loves only me. How can Dutta lose and still win while he, RK won but still lost? Madhu loved him and him alone. She had to show him she loved only him and no one else. She has to love him now, this instance. Bending down, he gently holds her "Madhu..." she looks up at him in shock only then remembering his presence. "RK..." "I want you."she knew what he wanted, this was not the first time it had happened. When he had found out that Dutta had come to see her he had made this same demand, but this time.. "No, RK. I can't. Not now." She begged him. Then she heard his voice breaking "I need you, Madhu..."

Madhu looked at her husband, he was breaking, his insecurities and fears were visible. And just like that, his pain took priority. Forgetting her pain she hugged him and went onto show him how much she loved him, and she only belonged to him.

RK kept up with the gentle assault on her body until she screamed out her love for him again and again.

RK watched as Madhu lay next to him lost in thoughts. Her back was to him as he snuggled to her while she held his hand with both her hands securely on her bosom. RK watched her, the innocent who got caught up in his war with Dutta. When he had found out about Dutta's secret girlfriend he had decided to use her in drawing out Dutta. It had only taken RK all of three weeks to make Madhubala fall in love with. But that didn't bring out Dutta. So he took his game to the next step. He married Madhubala to bring out Dutta. Neither did that bring out Dutta. RK remembered those days he was a possessed man with a mission. Having been scarred brutally by Dutta he didn't see right from wrong, just his goal. He remembered telling his shocked new bride what her role was in his revenge plan. Then he had insisted on consummating his marriage. What he didn't know for a long time was that he had fallen in love with Madhu during his love game, consummating was his way of making sure that she remained with him. Madhu remained aloof to him except for when they made love. Things changed when one day in height of passion he had declared his love for her shocking him and her. From the next day onwards their life changed. Madhu was back to the girl she was before marriage, she started showering him with her love and care. She took care of him, pampered him and declared her love for him without any inhibitions, while after that one incident he never declared his love. But Madhu seemed to understand that, she understood his love for her, his insecurities regarding her and Dutta. It was like she could see through him, in all his twisted ways, his insecurities, his scarred life, his pain, she saw the man, he might have become had tragedy not struck him at 12. RK had to admit to himself that he did change, after Madhu became his wife, his obsession for revenge had diminished and a new obsession took shape, Madhubala. After his marriage, his search for Dutta hadn't been that obsessive. Even after Dutta being arrested, a huge part of him was not happy. Because, it hurt Madhu and what hurts Madhu hurts him. RK realized that for Madhu he had to let go of his enmity. Let law take its course. Maybe, move away so he can have a fresh start with Madhu, where both can forget Dutta. RK painfully realized that by forgetting Dutta, he will have to let go of his father's death too, he has to come to peace with it. He just wanted a life with his Madhu were he could tell her how much he loved her, talk to her like a normal husband, worry about their future and kids instead of his past. He always wanted to feel secure in her love.

Making up his mind for a fresh start, RK looks at Madhu who was lost in thoughts. He gently kisses her on her naked shoulders. She turns to look at him. She caresses his hair "RK..." "Hmmm" "Now that Dutta is caught, you won't leave me right?" she asked him in fear. "No, Madhu. never. You know how much i..." RK says quickly to reassure her but stopping mid-sentence. Madhu smiles, "I know. I just got insecure." She hugs him and says "I love you, RK and I can't live without you." RK hugs her back and after months he told her what was in his heart "I love you, Madhu. And I live only for you." Madhu looks at him in shock and then finally tears in her eyes she says just the way he tells her "I want you now."

RK stood in the room as he waited for his enemy to come. He had come to end his past here before he started his future with Madhu. Dutta walked in the other side of the room. RK watched as the man who had took everything away from him stood opposite him, the only thing separating him from him was the grill in between. He was seeing Dutta after 17 long years, and RK realized that the only reason Dutta was still breathing was Madhu. The root of all his insecurities was the truth that Madhu still cared and loved Dutta, Madhu never talked about Dutta, but he knew she cared. It hurts but he knew if Madhu had to choose it would always be RK for her.

"I did expect you." Dutta tells him pleasantly. "I wanted to see for myself. How does it feel to be where you belong?" RK asks him with anger. "This is not going to hold me in for a long time. Just think that I am here to simply humor you." Dutta replies with a smirk. RK angrily marches to the grill and hold it with his might as he said "the only reason you are still breathing is because of Madhu." "Strangely, that is the only reason why you are breathing too." Dutta replies arrogantly. "I didn't know that you were using her to draw me out. When I found out about it, Madhubala was already married to you." "Don't you dare say her name." "If she hadn't told me that she loves you, I would have forgotten everything and killed you. If she had told me otherwise, then you would have been long dead." RK was stuck on one point while Dutta ranted, "Forgotten what?" RK asks. Dutta stops his ranting and then says as if dismissing RK "Go home, RK. You have a good life ahead of you. Keep Madhubala happy. Tell her not to worry about me." He turns to go when RK stopped him, "Why did you kill my father?" Dutta turns to look RK and shakes his head in no. "I need to know." "Go home." "I can't move on without knowing your reason." RK tells him finally. "What did my father do to you? He was a nice man. Was it for money?" RK asks frantically. Dutta watches him for a long time and sighs "Madhubala was right. I did damage you." RK stops short hearing that "You both discuss about me?" "Yes." RK was heartbroken hearing that. How could she discuss him with her exboyfriend?his enemy? "All about how she loves you. And how you love her. blah blah blah. I hear your love story every damn time I see her." Dutta says. "You see her?" RK was aware of the onetime Madhu had met Dutta. He and cops had followed her to Dutta few days after he had married her, but Dutta had escaped then. But she met him after that too? How could she do this to me? "It's not what you think." Dutta says realizing the way RK was thinking. RK starts leaving from there when Dutta's words reached him. "I am not allowed to tell you why I killed your father." RK turns and looks at him. "What?" "The second time I met Madhubala, I gave her something she asked me. You find that and you will know why I killed your father." "What is that? And why can't you tell me?" RK asks desperately. "It is a video cd and 2 letters. I can't tell you because I gave Madhubala my word that you will never find out why I killed your father." Dutta says. Not wanting to create any misunderstandings between RK and Madhubala, Dutta tells him, "In her twisted way, she truly believes she is protecting you by hiding it from you."

She is protecting you. She is protecting you. She is protecting you. That was all that kept ringing in his ears as he drove home. He wanted closure and his past was wide open now with Madhu somehow in the middle of it. What was it that Madhu didn't want him to find out? And why didn't she want me to find it? RK walks into his room. RK noticed that the moment she realized his presence she hid something behind her. "RK, you came?" Madhu asks smiling. For once, her smile didn't reach her eyes. He knew she was worried and hiding something from him. "Where did you go?" "I went to see Dutta." Hearing him, she turned pale. "How is he?" she asked in a bare whisper. "He is fine. Told me to tell you not worry about him." RK replies watching her. "I will bring tea." Madhu says as she started to walk. "He said you have a cd and two letters with you. And that will explain to me why he killed my father." Madhu spun back to look at him "No RK. I don't have anything." The moment the words were out of her mouth he knew she was lying. But realized two more things, Madhu looked terrified and the paper she was trying to hide from him had fallen to ground, all forgotten. "I don't have anything, RK. Why do you want to find out the reason? Can't we just move on?" Madhu begged him worried. RK could not ignore what was staring at his face, Madhu loved him and the reason she was lying was somehow to protect him, but from what? Who? "Maybe he was lying." RK says to put her at ease. Madhu nodes her head vigorously. "Get me my tea, Madhu. I need to lie down for some time." RK tells her. She nods her head and quickly leaves. The moment the door closed, RK quickly starts searching his room. After a quick search there was neither cd nor letters. He dejectedly runs his hands through his hair when he remembered the paper on the floor. He picked up the paper to find out what was the other thing Madhu was trying to hide from him. He opens the letter and breaks out into a smile. Madhu is pregnant. He was about to run to Madhu when he realized that she was trying to hide it from here. Maybe she wanted to tell me in her special way. RK puts the paper back on the floor and decides to wait for Madhu to tell him. Also realizing that, this was the reason she was acting strange the last two days.

Two days later

RK was searching the kitchen when the light turns on. He turns in shock to see Madhu standing there. "What are you searching for?" Madhu asks. "I want to know, Madhu." RK finally tells her. "No, RK." Madhu says with tears. "I know you have it. Please, Madhu." "I can't, RK." Madhu says as she turns to walk off. "Why, Madhu?" "You won't be able to bear it." Madhu manages to tell him through her tears.

RK follows Madhu to her room, and sees her lying on bed crying. "Madhu, please don't cry. You know it's not good for the baby." RK tells her and Madhu stops in shock. "How did you know?" "I saw the results. I thought you wanted to tell me in some special way, but it's been two days and you still haven't told me." Madhu remains silent while RK waited for her to say something. "What is it, Madhu?" he finally asks her. "I haven't decided, RK." Madhu hesitantly says. "Decided what?" "Whether I want to have this baby." Madhu replies. RK was rooted to the ground as he tried to digest what she said. "Why do you want to kill our baby?" "I can't live without you, RK." Madhu tells him. "Even I can't.." she cuts him off and says "But I can't raise a baby with you." Seeing RK's heartbroken expression, Madhu regretfully tells him, "You are so stuck on your past. You are not ready to let go and move on. How can we raise a baby in this household?" Without saying anything, RK gets up & leaves ignoring Madhu calling out to him.

Next day morning, RK opens the door to his apartment and the moment he stepped in Madhu came running to him. "Where did you go? Why did you leave me? How could you go away like this?" she screamed at him and she hugged him tightly to her. realizing that she was crying, maybe the whole night too, RK pulls her back to see her face. "Don't cry again. I don't want you to cry again, not because you are pregnant. Because when you cry my heart breaks." RK tells her sadly. Madhu nods her head and wipes her tears. "Don't ever leave me again. I don't know what I will do without you." "Sorry, Madhu. I needed to think. That is why I left." RK tells her. "You are right, you can't raise a baby with me." Madhu looks at him in shock when he continues, "But that is going to change. I am going to change. We will go from here. Somewhere far away, where my past won't be able to catch up with me. We will start new with our baby. There won't be any revenge only love. I promise you that. You will come with me, right?" Madhu nods her head happily and hugs him.

Sometime later, RK watches Madhu walk into her puja room to pray. The only place in the house that was Madhu's, he never entered there. He never prayed. He followed her and stood next to her to pray. Madhu smiles happily seeing him and they both pray together. And that's when RK knew that the video cd and the letters would be in the puja room. The only place Madhu knew he would never enter. The only place she knew it would be safe, with her Gods. RK looks at Madhu and the life within her, and decided that he wouldn't look for the cd and letters. He owed his wife and unborn child that.

RK watched as Madhu started sorting their clothes deciding which all to take and which all to give away for charity. "That is really old." RK says as he lazily sat near her on the bed when she kept an old shirt in his "keeping" pile. "But it looks nice on you." Madhu tells him. "How nice?" RK asks as he pulled her closer. "How nice matlab?." Madhu asks. "that when you see me in that shirt you are proud that he is my husband – nice or when you see me in that shirt that you want to tear off my clothes and have steamy hot sex with me – nice?" Madhu gapes at him, this was the first time he was talking to her in a carefree happy way. Not even when they were dating was he like this. "What?" RK asks. "I am seeing you like this first time." Madhu says with a smile as she wrapped her arms around him. "And?" "And I like this you much much better than the old you." Madhu says kissing him while she started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Madhu..." RK gently calls her name as he snuggled closer to her. "Hmmm?" "Do you want to see him before you leave?" and he felt her stiffening. "If you want, I will take you." When she remained silent, he continues "I don't know what kind of relation you have with him and what you feel for him. I trust you and I know you love only me. He is my enemy but he means something to you. So if you want, I will take you to see him so you can say goodbye." Madhu nods her head sadly "I might won't see him ever again. Will you take me?" "Yes, I will."

RK found himself standing in the same room he was in the week before. The moment Dutta came in view, Madhu ran towards the grill. "Now didn't expect this." Dutta says arrogantly but RK noticed his eyes misting up. "Dutta..." Madhu starts when Dutta cuts her off "I am not going to ask you whether you are fine. Because I know you are. And I realize now that you were telling the truth. He does love you otherwise he couldn't have brought you here to see your old lover." Dutta says sneering at the lover part. "We are going away from here." Madhu tells him. "I came here to tell you that. And leave all this. You were not like this. You were not this." Madhu pleads. "This is a one way street, Madhubala. There is only entry. No exist. Now that I saw you, I am happy. You go." Dutta tells her. "We are going to have a baby." Madhu tells him. "We don't want RK's past to come back to us. So this is the last time I am seeing you. Now you will never see me." Dutta takes a sharp breath as he looked at RK, "Where are you going?" "We won't tell you. Please understand, Dutta. RK can't move forward with your presence in his life." Madhu pleads. "He can, once he finds the truth." Dutta argues. Madhu pales while RK looks at Dutta in shock. What truth? "You promised me!!!" Madhu accuses him. "I want to go from here, RK." Madhu tells him. RK knew if he stood there for a few more minutes maybe Dutta would tell him but decided against it. Madhu was more important. "Let's go." RK tells her as he gently took her hand in his to walk away. "Go wherever you want Madhubala. But like all these years, in the coming years too I will come to you on Raksha Bandan." Dutta tells her. RK stops in shock as he looked from Dutta to Madhu "Raksha Bandan?" "She is not my lover, she is my little sister." Dutta confirms. "Madhu..." RK turns to her in shock. Madhu turns to Dutta in tears and outrage "How could you do this to me, Bhao? You promised me." "I promised that he wouldn't ever find out the reason. Not this." Dutta argues. "Why did you do this?" Madhu asks. "Because he needs to know." Dutta replies, then looking at RK he says "Consider this one truth as my penance for snatching away the childhood from a 12 year old." RK watched Dutta wondering whether he saw remorse in Dutta. Guessing what he was thinking Dutta says, "I don't regret killing your father. He needed to die. My only regret was and will always be is that you had to watch it." Turning to Madhu he says, "How much ever you run, he is always going to wonder why I killed his father, the fact that you knows the reason will come between you today or tomorrow. He needs to come to terms with it before your baby comes to this world. He needs to be completely in peace with it; else a part of him will always be stuck on his past." Dutta says and walks off.

RK & Madhu walks into their apartment, both lost in thoughts. Finally, not able to take his silence she finally asks "You hate me now, right?" "What?" RK looks up at her in shock, "Now you know that your father's killer's blood runs through my veins too. You don't want me now, I know." RK immediately walks to her and hugs her, "Is that why you hid it from?" Madhu nods her head in reply. "It doesn't matter to me whose blood runs through your vein. I know you and I love you. Nothing matters more." RK says as he hugged her. "I was scared." Madhu tells him as she broke down. RK hugs her as she cried and finally tells her, "Maybe at first I would have reacted differently but now you are everything to me." Once she calms down, RK gently broaches the other topic. "It is in your Puja room right?" Madhu stiffens hearing that. "I want to know, but only when you are ready to give it to me. I won't rush you." RK promises her.

RK was sending out all his official mails as he wound up his business in Mumbai when Madhu walked in. "Maybe, Bhao is right. You need to know before you can let go." RK looks up to see her holding a brown envelope. "After Bhao found out about our marriage, remember he came to see me and you came with the police." Madhu asks and RK nods his head, "That time he told me why he killed your father. And I told him I wanted this so that you never find out about it. Till you told me, I didn't even know bhao was a don, I was under the impression he was a travelling businessman cum trader." Madhu explains, "Then next raksha bandan when he came, he gave me this. I never watched it nor read it. And I took his promise that you will never find out about this. And here I am." Madhu says as she wiped her tears. She walks to him and gently hands to him. "You might want to do this alone." Madhu tells him.

RK walked to their bedroom and put on the cd. He wanted Madhu to be with him, but he knew she didn't want to watch it with him. So he didn't force her. The moment the video started he knew why. He watched in dread as a young girl lay on the bed unconscious a man, no his father though his face was not visible, his profile was enough for RK to recognize. RK didn't know whether even for 5 complete minutes he watched the video before he rushed to the bathroom to throw up. Not able to see his father raping an unconscious girl. Without watching the remaining video RK switched it off. All his earlier memories of his father tainted. The man he had thought was his hero was nothing but a rapist. The man he wasted all his life to avenge was this. Dreadfully he opens one of the two letters.

My Dear Dutta,

By the time you read this, I won't be alive. I am sorry; I can't go on living like this. What had only been yours was snatched away from me. I was not going to leave you this letter, but then I realized that you will waste your life wondering why I did this.

Today, I was asked to stay back in office for a meeting. I was alone with my boss, Mohan Kundra. The last thing I remember is drinking tea with him. Then when I woke up, I had lost everything. He raped me. And he had it videotaped. He told me that if I didn't sleep with him or whoever he asked me to, then he will have this video circulated in all the video libraries. I don't have any other choice, Dutta. I am sorry. Please forgive me and move on in life.

Only yours,

Trishna.

RK wiped his tears as he took the other letter, and was shocked to see the very familiar handwriting. It was a letter from his mother to Dutta.

Dutta,

The moment I saw you walk into my house, I knew you were Trishna's Dutta. She used to tell me about you. She was a nice girl, she was like my daughter. Unfortunately, it was me who had recommended her to my husband. I heard about her suicide and then you came and killed my husband. At once, I knew that my husband was behind Trishna's death. I know my husband, he was a monster. I searched his study and found the cd attached to this letter. There were more, but I didn't recognize the girls in it so I destroyed it. I am sending you this so that I want you to know that Trishna's virtue is intact. Rest assured, there aren't any copies of this cd. In a way, you not only avenged Trishna, you did it for me too. Trishna was courageous; she had the courage to end it while I didn't. I have a son, and I need to live for him. My husband had forced me to submit to other men for his business gains, many times threatening me with my son's life. When I started refusing he started using other girls. Now I realize that I was in a way responsible for Trishna's death. I should have fought him, but I was worried for my son. I was scared for his future. I request you to plead not guilty in court, please don't reveal my husband's true character to the world. It will ruin my son's life. For my son, his father is his hero. I promise you that I will save you. No matter what, you will not be punished for this. But please protect my son from his father.

Regrets,

R

RK sat motionless as he read his mother's letter to Dutta. He remembered the day at court 17 years ago.

RK stood alone as he watched Dutta walk out from court free. His mother came to him and gently touched him "Let's go home, Rishu." Angrily he pushed her hand away "I hate you! You are not my mother!" and was about to run off when Dutta who had been watching him came over to him, "My threat still stands, if you open your mouth about me, I will kill your son." Dutta threatened her and walked off. RK turns to his mother and asks in shock "Did he say he will kill me? Is that why you lied?" His mother had turned to look at him and nod yes.

RK now realized that at the time, he had failed to recognize her astonishment and relief at Dutta's lie. Dutta had helped his mother from losing her son, and while he had snatched his father away from him, he had given his mother to him.

Another memory he had forgotten and put away in his sub conscious surfaced. He doesn't remember much just two sentences "I will not do this anymore. I will not go to anyone for you to become rich." His mother had screamed that, and at that age he didn't know the meaning of that but now he knew. His father had sold his mother. Clutching the letter in his hand he screamed out in agony "AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". A moment later he was engulfed in Madhu's arms as he cried out loud. He could hear Madhu saying soothing words in between her loud sobs, but nothing registered. All that registered was his agony. As he cried, Madhu wrapped her around him, secured in her love he cried for his mother, Trishna, his childhood and for Dutta.

Five years later

Madhu watched as RK played football with their 4 year old son. RK was laughing without a care in the world cheating his son at every opportunity he got much to the chagrin of his very righteous son, Rishi. Seeing the righteous way Rishi behaved at this young age, RK always jokes that he had been taken after his Uncle Dutta. Madhu thought about her brother, it was very strange that the day after RK and she left Mumbai, Dutta was released from jail. RK believed that Dutta had got caught on purpose so that RK could finally find out the truth. Madhu refused to believe that twist piece of fantasy, why go through such elaborate plan when he could have simply come face to face and talked?

But Madhu had to agree her brother had been right, RK needed to know the truth. RK had recovered from it must faster than she had expected, and he was new man. He laughed, he joked, he even makes fun of Bhao in a brotherly manner. RK had told her one day that as much as him , Dutta was also a victim. After the case, no one was willing to give Dutta a job and Dutta was forced to tread the path of wrong.

There was no news of Dutta for a long time, then on Raksha Bandan as he had promised he had come. Later he had come when Rishi was born. She knew he would be coming soon again, as Madhu was on her last month of her pregnancy.

Hearing RK laugh, she looks at him and sees him doing a victory dance around Rishi much to her son's irritation. Madhu smiled seeing RK, once he had made peace with his past, he had changed in so many ways, at times he behaved like a kid, reliving his lost years of childhood. She knew that the scars of his past and his insecurities were all gone in place is beautiful dreams for her, their kids and for himself. She thanked her brother again for forcing her in the right direction in telling him the truth. She believed that was reason for his change while he didn't. He believes it to be her love which had consumed him such a way that he had started letting go of his past and was ready to move on life. The truth helped him, but her love made him take the first and the most difficult step. He likes to say that he had found love that consumed so much that he couldn't hold on to his pain and past. That 12 year old boy had found security in her love.
