Revenge
is a dish best served cold.
Part
2
Madhu's
mother kicked her out of the house, upon finding out about her lost virginity.
Trishna also turned her back on her. The world was a strange place, when you
needed people the most it was hard to find someone who would comfort you even
in the slightest.
Madhu
found herself wondering the streets, she didn't know how long, or how far she
had walked. RK explaining everything in rapid detail kept imploring and taking
over her thoughts. He made her late application to the collage successful. He
had chosen the weaker of the two sisters. How he had known that she would idly
fall in love with him, from the first moment he laid eyes on her. How he
started out taunting and worrying her little by little and how nothing affected
her, how nothing broke her, how nothing would break her.
He
made her loose her self-respect.
She
suspected her pregnancy would not be welcomed news. She had nowhere to go.
Madhu
did not even see the car coming until it touched the edge of her knee. Causing
her to awaken from her thoughts.
"Look
it's tiny, always a thorn in my way" He said laughing tauntingly. He
looked at her with satisfaction as she slowly moved away wordlessly and began
to shake.
He
was driving an expensive car, Madhu noted with an equally expensive girl
sitting next to him.
"I
would like you to meet my fianc Ria" He announced pointing at the elegant
looking girl next to him.
She
felt sick, he was getting married, had he been engaged the entire time. She
felt the world shift and then a blankness fell over her. She awoke in a cool
room, she got up to find him looking down at her next to him was Ria. Madhu sat
up, watching the doctor come into the room, she was in a hospital.
"All
her reports, I wish to speak with Madhuji alone" RK was irked, Madhu saw a
muscle in his jaw tic, while Ria stared at her with open dislike.
"What's
wrong with her doctor?" He pressed.
"Please
go, don't pretend that your care when deep down you wish I was dead" Madhu
said, softly his eyes became enraged and he stared at her with open anger.
Before
uttering another word he walked out without a second glance Madhu leaned back
holding her tears in.
"Miss
Madhu, it seems that you are 3 weeks pregnant" Madhu held her stomach, RK
had attached himself into her life in every way.
"You
are unmarried" The women said without looking away from her clipboard,
Madhu nodded.
"The
child's father are you in contact with him" Madhu shook her head.
"You
have options, a girl so young with this responsibility" Madhu began to
cry, she could never hurt anyone, let alone her own baby.
"I
will give him so much love, that he would never feel the need for a
father" she said, her baby would become her reason to live and she would
look after him no matter what.
The
doctor held her hand then, prescribed some vitamins for her to take.
Leaving
the note near her bed, the doctor said she could leave tomorrow as they wanted
to keep her in for observation.
RK,
walked in as soon as the doctor left, Ria was no longer with him. He stood at
the door his eyes watching her narrowed heavily.
"I
called your sister, she said they have disowned you" He said it as if he
couldn't quite believe it. Madhu ignored him, and looked outside her room.
"What
did the doctor say?" He asked her inching forward, she looked so small in
that hospital bed, a part of him felt sick at the thought that Madhu might have
some sort of bad illness.
She
continued to ignore him, he found himself grow with irritation.
"I
am talking to you" he grabbed her both arms roughly. Madhu stared at him
tears rolling down her cheeks.
There
was immense pain in those eyes.
"Don't
you dare ever touch me" she spat out. He let go of her, but his eyes grew
dark with anger.
He
sat at her bedside and watched her, until she let her guard down and fell
asleep by the morning, Madhu found a packet and at her bedside and an envelope.
With the words leave written simply, Madhu opened it and found money at least
50 thousand in notes, he had also bought her medicine. Madhu left the stuff
there and left. He had paid her bills at the hospital too.
Sultan
was smoking a cigarette when he saw Madhu walking out of the hospital. The
whole collage had dubbed her a wh**e, but he knew Madhu was as sweet and
innocent as they came. RK had destroyed her, ruined her life, Madhu did not
deserve that. She was a good person, he often copied of her at tests and she
would allow him, without even expecting any type of thanks. He often saw her
spending time at the orphanage, near collage, reading to the children and
helping out.
"Madhu"
He called her, name but she did not answer and kept walking.
"Madhu,
are you ok?" He asked her pulling her hand she turned around to stare at
him.
She
shook her head, he pulled her hand gave her a small hug as she began to cry and
cry.
She
told him everything, perhaps not the closet person towards her, but he listened
to her without judging her.
"Madhu,
you need a place to stay a place where you can rest, in this condition"
Madhu told him simply she had nobody she could rely on.
He
pulled her hand, he knew what he was going to do.
"Madhu,
my mother is very sick, you can stay and look after her" Madhu did not
have anywhere else to go she nodded and agreed.
What
she did not expect was when they finally stopped they were in front of the
Kundra mansion.
Madhu
stared at Sultan shocked.
"Is
this some kind of sick joke?" She asked, turning around. Sultan held her
arm to keep her in place.
"I
live here, I work with them it's the only way I can keep going to college and
pay for my mother's treatment" He explained,
"I
can't stay near him, he's engaged Sultan if he finds out he'll want to abort
the baby" Madhu panicked.
Sultan
shook his head, and pulled her inside.
"He
won't even notice you live here, we stay in the servant quarters, he never
comes on that side" Madhu nodded relieved, she went with, him. She blushed
thinking about the first time she had come here and how RK had touched her. She
touched her stomach, her baby was conceived here and now he would probably be
born here. Madhu met Sultan's mother, Meera a sweet slightly sick women. She
loved Madhu as soon as she walked in with Sultan.
***
Days
went past, Madhu often saw RK, but narrowly avoided him constantly.
He
looked haggard, she noticed, dark circles appeared around his eyes.
With
each day she saw him eat less and less.
***
Mohan
Kundra saw Madhu, in the corner of the kitchen, stealing a pickle from a jar.
She closed her eyes with each bite and let out a loud mom.
"The
last time I saw someone eat pickle like, that was my wife, when she was
pregnant with my son" He murmured.
Madhu
turned red and quickly closed the lid, placing it in the cupboard, the older
man began to laugh.
"Sultan
mentioned a nurse for Meeraji, he did not mention such a pretty one
though" Madhu found it hard to believe that this jovial man was a hardened
gangster.
He
reopened the cupboard and handed her the jar.
"Thank
you, Mr. kundra" Madhu said softly.
"Dad!"
RK shouted Madhu cursed silently as he entered the kitchen with Ria behind him.
"Madhu"
He whispered almost as if he were dreaming, he could not believe his eyes after
days of seeing her face, every time he closed his eyes, and she stood in front
of him, holding a bottle of pickle.
"You
know her?" Mohan asked, putting an arm around her shoulder.
"Yes,
we went to collage together" RK said, pulling Ria close to his side and
kissing her on her head.
"She
is Meeraji's nurse" Mohan said, RK smirked, Madhu put the jar down her
hands had began to ache after carrying it so long.
RK
poured himself a glass of juice while Mohan mentioned a few business deals.
"So
Madhu, Is Sultan your boyfriend?" Mohan asked with twinkle in his eye, RK
spat out his juice and glared at Madhu.
"No"
Madhu said shaking her head, furiously.
"He
spoke quiet fondly of you" RK glared at her, with so much hatred, Madhu
held her stomach automatically.
"He
is good person, I am fond of him too" Madhu said, with a small strained
smile, the glass in RK's hand shattered.
Madhu
watched feigning a don't care attitude as they bandaged his hand and he stared
at her the whole time.
***
A
few hours later, her locked door flung open, RK walked in. He grabbed her
pulling her against him.
"Do
you still love me?" He asked her, Madhu pulled away from him and sat down
on her bed.
"No,
I never loved you" She lied he pulled her hair and made her look into his
eyes.
"Say
it, look into my eyes and say it" He said Madhu kept mum. Sultan walked in
and pushed RK away. Madhu felt a trickled of blood on her mang and turned
towards the mirror, blood had leaked from his hand when he grabbed her hair and
filled her man.
RK
stared at her with a smirk.
"Stay
away from Madhu" Sultan threatened.
RK
laughed cruelly and walked away.
"This
is far from over, Sultan, always wore all my old clothes, growing up, now he is
getting involved with my ex's" RK laughed cruelly and slammed the door as
he walked out.
***
Madhu
had a warm bath and and went towards her bathroom door, to her utter surprise
the door was closed, a few hours later. She pressed against it, yet it would
not open. She heard flushing outside her door.
"Hello,
Sultan the door is jammed please let me out" She heard soft whispers and
then the door was opened RK stood outside the door.
"I
am so sorry your Sultan did not open the door" Madhu ignored him and
carrying on walking past.
She
felt him, reach out and touch her hand. Madhu pulled away immediately and
looked away angrily.
"Did
Sultan tell you, that when we were little and I was not done with a specific
toy, how he would often have to give it back to me" RK winked and walked
out her door. Madhu lied down on her bed, she was so tired, so tired of
everything.
Madhu
went to sleep.
***
Two
weeks later, Sultan walked towards her as she sat with Meeraji in the garden,
RK sat at the balcony, invisible to them but watching silently.
"Madhu
can I talk to you" He said officially, Madhu put down the book she had
been reading and followed Sultan.
"This
might not be very romantic. But Madhu I think we should get married"
He
proposed, Madhu gasped, she stared at him. Even though she hated him there was
only one person who owned her heart. Only one person she hated to love, and he
loved to hate her.
"I
will never marry" Madhu whispered, trying to not think of how she used to
imagine herself marrying RK.
"Madhu
think of the child, you will never be able to raise him or her alone"
Sultan said, he was happy at heart he knew Madhu will be forced to marry him.
He loved her so much that he wouldn't mind having her tied to him even if he
had to raise RK's sin. He smirked, he would deal with the child, as a payback
to RK and how he treated him growing up.
"No,
I couldn't" Madhu said, there was a shuffling behind them.
"Madhu
please you have to give the baby a name" He begged, RK's fists clenched,
he had, had enough of Sultan hovering around her like a dirty fruit fly.
RK
walked down the stairs towards the garden. He stopped as he heard the words,
"I
will look after you during your pregnancy" RK stopped he felt his legs
give way underneath him.
Madhu
was pregnant with Sultan's baby?
