Padmini went to kitchen to see rk preparing breakfast.

"Good morning ma..here is your teahe handed her a cup of tea.she took it and thanked him.

" Where is madhu? "She asked

"She is sleeping"rk said and continued his work

Padmini got embarrassed by her daughter's behavior,like any conservative indian mother.she dashed into this room and jerked madhu awake.

"What's it ma ..I want to sleep please don't disturb me "madhu said sleepy

"Madhu ,get up now or else I am going to drenvh you " she threatened her daughter.

Madhu sat up on the bed and rubbed open her sleepy eyes.

"What do you want ma...let me sleep ,I am on leave today "madhusaid

"So what?...rishab is making the breakfast"padmini said as if the world is going to end by this sin.

"So what??...he makes it everyday before he leaves to office "madhusaid and tried to sleep again.padmini pulled her by her arm .

"Mom...stop manhandling me"madhu said.

" how could you do this to your husband madhu..it's your duty to make food for him and here its happening in reverse..what I had told you before you came here with him.i asked you to take care of him.and you."..padmini started her lecture

"Okay...okay...what do you want now?..me to go and help him,right?...let me get freshen up and I will make the breakfast"madhu went to bathroom grabbing her clothes.

Padmini went back to their room and filled Malik's ear with madhus doings .Malik laughed at his daughters doing.

" you spoiled her Malik ,by you closing your eyes at her wrongs"padminiscowled

"Come on padmini..they are just romancing.. husband making food for wife and all...don't you remember our honeymoon period"malik said and padmini blushed

Malik smiled seeing his wife blushing.

Malik and padmini seated for breakfast and rk tried to serve them.Pasmini stood up and made rk to sit on his chair.

"You had made breakfast and took care of your wife ..now it's time for her to care for you..come madhu,serve him the breakfast"padmini said

"No ma...no need...I will... "before he could complete.

"It's her duty and her right rishab"padmini said

"Enjoy it son..it's really rare to get something like that from my lazy daughter" maliksaid playfully

"Papa"madhu scowled at him and serve food to rk.he looked at her when she served him and soon her eyes found his .they went into a lock and felt the pain and love they held for each other.malik cleared his throat to gain their attention.they went out of their trance and madhu made her plate of food ,seated  and started eating.

"Well...I have a suggestion for you"malik said

Rishab looked at him eagerly

"Don't pamper her so much...you will make her even lazier"he said

"Papa...I don't think she is lazy..moreover there is no such discrimination that the women should make food and serve this husband. We are both working and it doesn't matter who makes food..it's only matters ,we have to reach our office by time".rk said smiling

"Yeah ...you are rightmalik saidbtw..you are going for work today?malik

"Yeah...I have some pending works to complete..I will be back soon.madhu is on leave for few days "rk so said

"Ah..okay...your shifts are nearly at same time?"malik asked

"Yeah"rk said

"Then...it will be quiet difficult...madhu should have to quit her job" padminiblurted out

"What??"msdhu and rk asked together in awe.

"well...if you have a kid and your shifts will become difficult..who will look after the baby?"padmini asked

Rk and madhu looked at each other and then averted this gaze.malik noticed the change in them.

"when are you going to give us the happiness?' malik asked deliberately and he got the response from their face ,paled like a paper.

"Ahmm..we.."rk stuttered

"Don't think I am intruding in your personal matters ...but are you ...in birth control or anything?he asked

"yes"rk said and "no"madhu said.then they looked at each other wide eyed

"Yeah or nah?mallik asked

"R u two confused or making us confused??he asked

"Well...we"...rk stuttered again

"we didn't..".madhus word were cut by rk

"we are not in any birth control but we are not lucky till now, right madhu?"he asked her and pleaded with his eyes to agree with him.

"Yeah"madhu

"It's about one year . ..I think you need a doctor" Malik sId

"No..it's alright "rk panicked

"Its not alright son...malik we are going to hospital tomorrow,so y can't we consult them too" she said as if they are not in that room

Rk looked at madhu and nodded reluctantly.

Rk was putting his tie anadhu pulled him by his arm ,turning him to face her,.

"Why did you do that? " madhu asked

"What have I done? he looked at her confused

"Wht you made this whole situation difficult...its already really difficult for me to breath the same air with you...and now you want to disclose everything to my parents? "she asked

"What is it madhu...don't say it in a riddle..I am getting late he said

An amused smile formed on his face seeing her.

"I have a solution he said with a sly grin

He took his bag and coat and slowly moved to the door, opened it

"I can take it away tonight..if you want "he said 

"How? madhu asked innocently

"By there usual way...you Know..making love he said sstanding  at the door.

"What?? then she got the clue and her face reddened with anger

"You pervert and she ran to caught him and he fled in a second.madhu followed him and he opened the front door and closed it.madhu panted and stared at the door. Padmini and Malik looked at the couple behaving like some immature children and smiled at their cutness,but didn't have any clue about the whole problems.

And then rk opened the door again and saw madhu looking at the door stunted.he smirked at her

"Tonight madhu.. okay? he wincked at her

"You..before she could complete he shut the door.

Madhu turned back to leave to her room and padmini asked madhu playfully "whats tonight madhu?'

She read the message and unknowingly her lips twitched up to a smile.

She dialed the number with her bloodied hand and her hand was shaking with her anxiety. She waited for the other side to pick up ,wiping her tears with the back of her hand

"Hey riasaid sultan

"Su ..su.. sultan..can ..you ...please ...come to my houseshe stuttered while trying to get some air into her system

"Oh..baby .. ria ,what happened?sultan panicked

"Please..and then the phone dropped down from her hands and she fainted ,lying on the floor.

"Ria...babe sultan called,but he didn't get any response.he ran to the coffee table and took his car keys .he shut the door and ran to the car, speeding it to Ria's house.he parked the car and ran to her house,knocked on her door but went without any reply

"Oh damnt he cursed and rumaged through his pocket for the spare key.hr found it out and pushed open the door

"Ria...babe ..where are you? he called out but it proved futile.

He looked around to see the room was under a havoc .each and every thing was broken down and displaced .whole floor is covered with shattered glass pieces from good knows what.he saw drops of blood on the floor and followed it's trail.he reached the bedroom and then he saw her lying on the floor like a fragile figure.her white gown is now adorned with red patches of blood.he ran to her and get down on his knees.he took her head on his lap and called her

"Ria .. open your eyes ,ria he said.thrn he dropped her And went to kitchen,collected some water .he ran to her and sprinkled some water on her face.

"Ria ..come on babe,don't do this to mehe said in a hoarse voice.

He again sprinkled the water and her eyes twitched open.

Sultan scooped her in his arms and plced her on the bed

"Ria ...baby ..why did you do this?'he asked

"S...sultan...please tell me that its just a dream...its not real. She said sobbing

'yes ,baby ..it's just a dream..whatever hurt you are nothing real .it's just a dream sultan said cupping her face and wiping her tears

Sultan sighed and took her hand in his and sighed

 "Comeon let me clean and dress it he said

"No sultan ...I am ready to bleed to death,but I want to know what is happening? she said sternly

"Ria...don't be stubborn..let me help u he said

"Okay...but I want to know why that bi*ch is here?' she said

Sultan nodded and he took the first aid box .he wiped her wounds with antiseptic lotion and winced  at her pain. He dressed it and kept the box in it's cupboard.

"tell me now sultan she said

"Well...you know..rk went to India " he said

"Yeah...but he didn't tell me anything and when I called him he just said that he had some important things to do at home she said
