Story background:
Growing Rishab has
always teased and worried Madhubala the daughter of his mothers friend.
But there is a twist.
One shot :D
Rishab Kundra quickly
tied the lace on his Nikes, He could see her in the stands looking at Mukund
anxiously, with her both hands knotted together anxiously. He smirked
arrogantly at her, did she honestly think he would loose. This was it the bet
of his life.
As soon as the gun
fired he sprang up, his heart began to beat loudly as he ran, he did not look
behind all he could see was nobody behind him. He ran with all his might.
Adrenaline pumped into his veins.
He had to win.

1 week earlier.
RK with a apple in
his hand spotted Madhubala smiling vibrantly at Mukund Dixit, his stomach
knotted in annoyance. Ever since her figure had began to ripen he often spotted
Mukund around her like a bee trying to get at honey. He tossed the apple on
Mukund head, and laughed at the loud sound that came off he was truly hollow.
Madhu looked at him outraged.
"What is wrong
with you, why did you hit him?" Madhu, asked rubbing Mukunds head.
"His face was
annoying me" RK answered with a shrug.
"Something is
wrong with you, your brain works backwards" She said shaking her head and
walking towards the water fountain, she bent over to drink water. Mukund walked
silently besides her, he knew better than to even challenge RK.
"Why does Mukund
walk with you class to class?" RK asked pulling her hand, he felt uneasy
seeing Mukund carrying her books.
Madhu's eyes widened,
almost as wide as saucers.
"Tum ho kaun asi
saval tum pooch nai sakti" She said walking away calling Mukund with her.
RK let it go, PE was next period he detested sport not because he was unfit but
because of the smell it brought.
He sat in the
bleachers, on his phone, Mr Sharma their 12 th class PE teacher, did not bother
asking him to participate, nobody forced RK to do anything they all knew that.
He scrolled to a photo of Madhu, at his house at Diwali wearing a lenga, lately
he found his eyes often unable to move of her. She was wearing the hideous PE
uniform, which was yellow and green, but somehow she looked incredibly
beautiful, he flexed his arm as he saw some of the class boys leering at her
they noticed his glare and immediately stopped.
Mr Sharma, was busy
droning on about the schools annual sports, apparently the student who one the
best all rounder was to win some sort of trip, a vacation, to Antarctica.
Rishab watched
madhu's face light up at the idea, he remembered distantly his mother telling
him about, how she loved collecting snow globes.
"The winner will
be allowed to take two other students" Mukund who cheered upon hearing
this, Rishab glared at him it quited him immediately" Madhu, smiled
faintly, at the idea but she looked disheartened.
"Don't worry
Madhu I will win and take you and Deepali" Deepali was Madhu's younger
sister, RK's hands tightened on his phone.
"Dixit will
never win" Madhu looked up at him with a confused look.
"Kyu nahi?"
Mr Sharma asked with a raised brow.
"Kyu ki hum
jeethengi" Madhu rolled her eyes at his words.
"You have never
ever played a sport at school, Mukund is our sports rep" RK woke up
shoving his phone into his pocket. He only stopped right infront of her.
"If I win,
Madhubala Malik, you will have to do what ever I tell you" He said, Madhu
scoffed at him smiling at Mukund.
"And if Mukund
wins?" Madhu asked smiling triumphantly, as if the race was already over.
"I will do
whatever he tells me too"
***
"1st place
Rishab Kundra" RK did not bother he walked straight to the stands to where
Madhu was seated with Deepali.
"You have to
come with me on the trip" Madhu looked at him confused, she pinched her
hand then blinked at him.
***
Madhu, packed her
bags hurriedly one month later, Mukund who had been crushed with his lose,
hadn't been to school. She had lied that she was going with her class girls
Trishna to, Otty, She met RK at the airport, she looked around for the other
student that would be joining them.
"I don't have a
passport" She had been hoping all month that this last minute confession,
would sprout, a reason to not make good on this bet. She peeked threw lashes he
smiled, his handsome dimpled smile, the smile that had every girl at their
school dying for him.
"I made one for
you" He pushed into her hand and he dragged her hand threw customs and
then unto the plane.
"From now on
you're my girlfriend" He said, holding her hand, Madhu stared at him till
her eyes would bleed. Was he the same RK she had grown up with, the guy who
teased her the guy who had thrown fake spiders on her when they were little.
"Are you drunk"
She asked touching his forhead. He shrugged and grabbed hold of her hand.
"I have decided
to stop playing games" Madhu waited as the plane filled up no other
student showed up.
"We are going
alone?" She asked shocked.
"Just us"
He said, leaning in smelling her hair.
"If you touch me
I swear to god I will make you sorry" She said threatened he just smiled
mischievously.
RK just held her hand
not matter how much she tried to remove it he never let go. She slowly fell
asleep after a while.
***
RK, held her hand the
entire time, she peered out the window of the Taxi, excitedly. He had paid the
driver to take them to an isolated cottage in the mountains which he had rented
out,
"This is what
the school had rented out for us" His mother had often told him about
Madhu's love for houses like this.
"Tumhara cottage
kaha hai?" She asked innocently he opened the door to the cottage, and
pushed her gently inside out of the cold.
"We have to
share" Madhu's smile faltered but she yawned loudly trying to pull her
hand out of his.
"I think I am
going to rest its been a long day" She walked away hurriedly. RK gathered
the bags and threw some logs into the fire place. He turned up the heating and
walked slowly into the bedroom where she lay fast asleep, covered in a blanket.
He felt relieved having her here meant nobody could take her away from him. He
brushed her hair away from her face and smiled he picked his phone and began
talking to his mother, she was his only confident about Madhu, the only person
who understood his feelings.
He layed down next to
her and pulled her into his arms later and fell asleep.
A few hours late he
felt an incessant poking on his side, Madhu.
"Yeh kya
bathameezi hai, tu meri bed par kya karahe ho?" RK yawned and pulled her
closer she wiggled, in his hold.
"Sleeping or
should I do something else" He joked while she stopped wiggling and
feigned sleep he smirked and went back to sleep.
***
As she had a bath
Madhu cringed she could still feel him holding her. She could stay the week she
decided it was just a week then she could leave. He asked her to make breakfast
while he bathed Madhu, did she decided maybe if she went along with this for
the week, she could go home and forget this happened.
***
The week went by
easily Madhu was all ready to leave she packed her bags and waited, RK entered
the bedroom and his smile slipped away.
"Madhu we don't
have to leave" He said quietly taking her bag opening it and roughly
dumping her clothing unto the bed.
Madhu began to panic.
She had thought this was all a game. She ran towards the front doors and found
them locked.
"You can't keep
me here forever" She told him evenly.
"I spoke to
mom..." He started off..
Madhu blinked
incredulous.
"RK have you
gone mad? Radha aunty has been dead for 8 years" Madhu began to get scared
as his eyes darkened.
"Madhu say
sorry" he held out a cell phone Madhu blink and moved away.
"Say sorry to
mom, you can't say stuff like that" Madhu stuttered out a sorry. He smiled
and grabbed hold of her.
"Ab hum tum poori zindigi yahaa par reh
