"I don't even know why he is angry with me." Madhu tells Trishna as she wiped her tears.
"Maybe he is not angry with you, bhabhi." Trishna tries to tell her again as she pulled Madhu close to her to console her.
"He is. He was so furious. I am such a burden on him." Madhu whispers as she bursts out crying.
"No bhabhi... He loves you." Trishna tells Madhu.
"Did he tell you that?" Madhu asks her hopefully. Trishna looks down avoiding eye contact. "I am nothing but a burden."
"No, bhabhi!!" Trishna tells her forcefully then taking her mobile for the hundredth time she tries to call her brother but he doesn't answer. He had left in the morning and it was almost night now.
"He is not picking my calls. Did you try to call him, bhabhi?"
"No." Madhu whispers.
"You didn't?" Trishna asks shocked and taking Madhu's mobile from the table she calls RK. And he answers on the fourth ring, "Madhu..."
"Bhabhi, he is on line." Trishna tells her as she passed the phone to Madhu.
"Hu.. hello." Madhu says sadly.
"You are crying?"
"No."
RK sighs, "I'm coming home."
"Okay."
Few minutes later they hear the doorbell and Madhu hurries to open it. RK walks in and spots Trishna. "Leave, Trishna."
Trishna furiously walks towards the door, "You better have a very good excuse, she has been crying the whole day!"
RK turns to look at Madhu and she looks down not able to face him. After Trishna leaves, RK locks the door.
"Why did you cry?" RK asks her angrily.
"Why did you leave me?"
"I didn't leave you."
"You just walked out."
"I just couldn't look at your face." RK says furiously.
Madhu looks up at him in shock as fresh tears started flowing from her eyes.
"Everything was going fine so I lied to myself that things were perfect as it is. But then it is not! You are my wife and I am hiding you like a dirty secret!" RK says as he angrily punched the wall. "I lied to myself that you were happy with the way things were."
"I am happy." Madhu says shocked not understanding what he was telling her. "It's you who is not happy."
"I am not happy! Because of me you are hiding out here! You have no life. All you do is sit at home. You have no work, you are not studying, and you have no life outside this house. All you do is sit here waiting for me to come."
"I like waiting for you, Rishu." Madhu tells him realizing he was not angry at her but at himself.
"Stop doing this, Madhu!" RK says furiously.
"What?"
"Acting as if I am the best thing that ever happen to you!"
"You are, Rishu." Madhu tells him with tears in her eyes.
"I am your curse, Madhu. I am hiding you. I worry people will find out that you are my wife. I don't let you wear your sindoor. I make you hide your mangalsutra. Which husband does that to his wife?"
"But you make me happy, Rishu. Not every husband does that to his wife."
"Because of me you were in tears, Madhu." RK says in a failed tone.
"Because I thought I was a burden on you." Madhu tells him feeling guilty for losing faith in him.
"Burden?" RK asks her shocked. "I might be staying in this place for Trish but I come back to this God forsaken house every night only for you."
Madhu looks at him in shock understanding what he had just told her, and then she says in a whisper, "Stop feeling guilty about hiding me, Rishu. You yourself make it up to me in more ways than you could possibly understand."
RK looks at her in shock and Madhu tells him, "Trish's marriage is now important for me too. I wouldn't have it any other way. She is my friend and my sister."
RK looks at her helplessly for a while then he pulls her in for a bear hug.
"I am sorry I made you cry, Madhu."
"I am sorry I made you feel all these stupid things." Madhu tells him sniffing making RK chuckle.
Hearing the doorbell, RK gets up from the couch. "That would be Patil, I'll get it."
RK opens the door and sees Patil standing with a bag. "No one saw you right?"
"No."
RK takes the bag. "If anyone asks where I am."
"I'll tell them that you went to your friend's place." Patil tells him.
It was just 7 and everyone was home but after what he had made Madhu go through, he didn't want to leave her alone, so he decided to be with her, anyway no one was going to come here.
RK starts smiling, "I am starting to think that you finding out about this is not a bad thing."
"Of course not." Patil replies, "It is always good to have a smart guy on your side."
"You talk too much, Patil." RK tells him with a grin. He liked Patil, he was trustworthy and a good guy.
"Good night, Chief." Patil says with a smile.
"Good night."
RK walks towards the living room and drops the bag on the floor. "Is it done?"
"Almost. 10 more minutes." Madhu tells him. They were downloading The Wolverine, as RK wanted to watch an English movie and Madhu was an X-men fan, they decided on it.
Seeing the bag on the floor, Madhu takes it and walks towards their room. RK follows her behind to find her unpacking. Patil had packed couple of his office shirts and pants, and also his tracks, shorts and t-shirts.
"He packed toiletries too." Madhu says smiling.
Madhu takes his clothes and starts keeping it in the cupboard neatly when RK hugs her from behind. Madhu turns to look at him and he kisses her on her cheek. Madhu blushes and slowly freeing herself she continues unpacking. She wanted them to make love but she was just feeling too shy. RK sighs lately it has become really hard to control himself.
RK plays the movie and gets on the couch with Madhu. She puts the blanket over him and they sit under one blanket as they watched the movie. RK slowly moves to her side as he kept his right hand over the headrest behind her. She seemed engrossed in the movie and he moves closer to her. With the light from the TV he could make out her cheeks turning pink. Grinning he leans towards her and gently rubs his nose on her cheek. She turns to look at him blushing and he takes her lips in his. He coxes her to open her mouth and when she does he slides his tongue in and soon their tongues were mating as they hungrily devoured each other. RK gently guides her to lie on the couch and gets on top of her as they continued to kiss. Leaving her lips, he moves down to her neck and kisses her as his hands roamed over her body. Madhu grips on his shirt as she tried to pull him towards her. RK reclaims her lips and they were kissing passionately when they hear the doorbell.
RK came to his senses first and sighing he pulls away. "It's the pizza. Why don't you go get it?" Madhu nods and gets up adjusting her appearance. "My wallet is on the table." RK tells her and she hurries to the door grabbing his wallet.
Madhu comes back with the Pizza and keeps it on the dining table. RK walks towards her as she opened the pizza box. RK stops behind her and seeing her freezing he holds her by her waist and pulls her towards him. Pressing her against him he nibbles on her ears then ending with a tiny bite he moves away to her side. Seeing her pink in color he chuckles and taking a Pizza slice he walks back to the couch. Seeing a plate in front of his face, RK looks up to see Madhu holding it as she looked down holding her plate in the other hand.
"I don't want plate."
"You might drop the food." Madhu tell him still not looking at him.
Sighing dramatically he takes the plate from her and Madhu shyly sits next to him. RK plays the movie. "I had rewind it." RK tells her
"Huh?"
"We obviously missed a great chunk of it... you remember right?"
Madhu turns pinker hearing him. "You remember right?"
"Shut up." Madhu tells him blushing.
"Why are you blushing suddenly? Earlier you were not."
"Keep quiet!" Madhu says in a pleading tone.
"Okay." RK says as he leans back on the couch.
"Madhu... what will you do if I wipe my dirty hand on this blanket?" RK asks casually.
Madhu turns back to look at him in shock. "Did you?"
RK laughs softly, "OCD."
"It is just being hygienic." Madhu says as she suspiciously looked at the blanket.
"I didn't do anything to your precious blanket." RK tells her grinning seeing her eyeing the blanket.
"I was not looking at the blanket." Madhu says defensively.
RK looks down at the blanket lying on his lap and then asks confused "Then what were you looking?"
"Er..."
Then pointedly looking at his middle area he says acting shocked "Madhu, you naughty girl."
Madhu follows his gaze and then says panicking "I was looking at the blanket."
"Liar."
"No I was."
"Now I am nervous to sit next to you, Madhu."
"WHAT? NO... I have OCD okay? I was looking at the blanket."
"If you insist then I believe you." RK says sighing.
"I was." Madhu says as she turns back to look at the TV while RK chuckles silently.
After doing the dishes Madhu comes back to find RK smoking by the window. Hearing her, he turns to her "I am feeling too sleepy, we'll watch the movie another day?"
"Okay."
RK gets on the bed beside Madhu. Once he settles himself he turns to her with his hand stretched out, "Come here." Madhu shyly rolls towards him and settles down with her head on his chest. RK takes her hand and softly kisses on her fingers. Madhu shyly looks up at him and RK seeing her looking at him gently pulls her towards him and kisses her on her lips. They slowly break the kiss and snuggling they go to sleep.
