Chapter 41
She locks her right arm around his neck pulling him in a hug, He smiles placing his chin on her shoulder "Thank you—although it wasn't needed !"
Dismissing her reply Rishab asks her "Am I entitles to hugs always if I get Golgappes ?" , Rishab hugs her tighter both smiling in each other's hold.
"That depends on the number of Golgappes you get me" Madhu says haughtily while breaking off from the hug . His arms still around her waist .
"Achcha But Don't You know Rat—that Cat's take what they want?"
"Rats steal—what—belongs to them"
"You know –you have an adorable beautiful –handsome—gorgeous-sparkling—twinkling-mingling—caring—" Rishab goes on describing as Madhu looks at him bored "Cat –Who would get anything for his little Rat?"
Madhu lets out a laugh "I don't see one around with that description!"
Rishab pouts with his hands on his hips before he could open his mouth he sees Madhu bending down holding her ankle, "What happened ?" He asks worriedly
"I had been standing since long-so the ankle is aching a lot"
Madhu stifles a gasp feeling her in his arms "Why stand when your personal chair is here?"
Madhu laughs "I better stand than being in the Cat's arms –Who knows just like the wolf who was faking to help the ginger bread man –My Cat to eats his Rat?"
"I will eat—when the time comes" Rishab murmurs under his breath
"aapane kuchh kaha (Did you say something) "
"No—nothing !" Rishab tells flushed
"You are blushing," Madhu says amused "What's running in that biggy head of yours?"
"NO—I was just –", Madhu raises her brow "I was imagining of the day I would get to carry my wife in my arms"
Madhu leans her head while placing her head on his shoulder "The one who marries you would be indeed lucky" Madhu whispers softly.
Rishab places her on the bed while placing her crutches a side which She had been carrying ."All thanks to you" He says flicking her nose
"Me?" Madhu asks surprised
Rishab sits beside her and takes her palm in his "Haan—If a few months ago –If anyone had seen me –I used to carry a frown every time only with Meena ma I used to talk but yes still not cheerfully --- Remember I told you are my everything?"
Madhu nods as her vision blurs "Because you changed me ! – You made me see how beautiful life could be if one doesn't keep dwelling on the past—You made me --- Talk to My Father once –Pay him Final rites—" Rishab chuckles to hide his tears Madhu hugs him instantly placing her head on his chest while carefully enough not to hurt her fractured arm.
Rishab keeps his head over hers "But I am still angry for spoiling my room" Rishu adds in a stern tone while hugging her back tightly . Madhu chuckles against his heart her doubts clearing May be he is developing feelings for me?"
"I am ready to bear punishment Your Majesty!"
Rishab giggles playing along as he removes his head from hers as she looks up "Is it My Queen? No backing back later "
Madhu chuckles and nods . Rishab kisses on her forehead and whispers against her temple "I'll give my punishment and remember you are to grant your wish too when I ask!"
Madhu nods smiling savouring the feel of his lips on her forehead, "If it has to do anything with you—I would bear anything happily" She whispers softly looking up .
Rishab kisses her temple lovingly "Just don't leave me" He whispers making Madhu smile
"Not until you tell me so" She replies back
"I will not—never—" He kisses on her cheeks. His lips linger more than in should . He pulls back , Madhu cups his face in her left palm and kisses on his forehead . His lips curve up feeling her love . She has feelings for me ! , that thought made him want to hide himself in her arms .
Madhu moves back smiling into his eyes "Let me help you remove the casts" , Madhu gazes at him with a full smile on her face as he removes the bandage slowly and carefully.
Madhu smiles feeling him kissing her fractured arm so tenderly. He places her foot on his lap as he unwraps the cast .
"Where is the ointment?" Rishab asks softly – not taking her eyes off him she points the night stand .
Rishab stretches his arm as he applies the ointment on her ankle massaging it softly –surely it hurt her little but her heart was filled with happiness that she couldn't feel the pain.
Once done , He walks to the washroom to wash his hands – her eyes follows him everywhere . Rishab comes back bending down He softly kisses on her temple "Good night!"
Madhu holds his wrist "I am not sleepy—stay—a little longer" She whispers softly looking into her eyes .
Madhu leaves his wrist as she makes space on the bed for him to sit . Rishab smiles She didn't even give me an option !
Rishab sits beside her – Madhu places her head on his shoulder as if it is the natural thing to do . Rishab leans into her touch pressing his cheek on top of her head smiling His mind filling with thoughts –how beautiful it would be to be like –this in each other's hold for life long?—At first he had thought of asking her out but now he decides to rather confess his love but before everything –He needs to solve Deepali's problem –without tangling them more .
"Speak up –Rishu" She whispers rubbing her cheek on his shoulder nudging him .
"About?"
"You never told me about your childhood" Madhu tells softly looking up at him .
Rishab gets down from the bed , Madhu looks at him shocked "I am sorry if I off—" She pauses seeing him going around the bed .
Rishab stretches himself on the bed while placing her head on his lap ,He loved sleeping on her lap it felt like sleeping on his mother's lap when he was young . Madhu looks at him confused and beats his forearm angrily "I thought I offended you!"
Rishab laughs holding her palm . Madhu glares at him and pulls her palm out of his arm .
"I thought someone was eager to hear about my childhood"
Madhu glares at him "Continue—I am all ears!"
"How can I when My little Rat glares at me like that?"
Madhu rolls her eyes nevertheless gives her all attention to him , "Since the day I was born it was only Maa with me , I grew up with her –You know I was so naughty—" Rishab continues telling about his beautiful and mischievous memories with his Maa , Madhu time to time kisses his temple , sure Rishab did notice but he didn't make it obvious knowing she would become conscious . Madhu laughs hearing his naughtiness ,
"The next door Uncle was an annoying jerk—he always use to complain Maa that I am Shaitani –For what? Just because I plucked few mangos from his trees ! as if he is taking it all to the grave—So I kept the compass on his chair and the moment he sat you should have seen his face—" ,
Madhu laughs out loudly "Pagal"
Rishab holds her palm fiddling with her fingers as He chuckles and goes on about his mischievousness. Madhu runs her fingers through his hair giggling until tears stung .
"And—then" He pauses Madhu stops laughing hearing his voice falling " then Maa died when I was 16—Since then I've become an Orphan" His eyes fills "My life was fill of void—the four walls screaming silence suffocating me –I use to cry myself to sleep"
Madhu pulls him up with her left arm and hugs him , he buries his head on her nape as she hugs him tighter "You have me Rishu—You aren't an orphan –Dare you say that next time" Her vision blurs as a thin layer forms .
Rishab pulls back sitting up straight . He opens his arms with unshed tears in his eyes . Madhu's eyes pools up as she goes into his arms "You have me too !" Rishab adds kissing her hairs .
Rishab lays on his back with her on top of him , Madhu cuddles into him as he hugs her tighter , after a full long minute Madhu chuckles "I forgot my Golgappes!" ,
Rishab chuckles "But I am in no mood to leave you" He jokes
"And I don't want you to!" Madhu says softly looking into his eyes
Rishab leans down close to her he places a small kiss on the corner of her lips "And I am not going too" he whispers against her lips .
Madhu looks at him before placing her head again on his chest – a blush making its way through her cheeks .
"I Love You Rishu" Madhu confesses softly not looking up mustering up the courage .
Not hearing anything scared she raises her head up to see him already fallen asleep.
"Damn—You had to sleep now!" She groans annoyed .
She sits up removing herself from his hold and gets down from the bed to close the door . Getting on the bed She hugs him while putting his arm around her waist .
"I feel that already I am making my way towards your heart" She kisses his forehead while combing his hairs with her fingers .
Rishab smiles seeing the way she was sleeping over him –Her legs tangled with his while her arms were tucked to his body .
He removes himself from her and sees the time showing '4' kissing her once he walks out of her room.
***
Sultan drinks in the bar until wee hours of them morning as he holds his bottle close to his chest "She said she never leave me—then why now? –Why did She do that? Why— Why is she leaving me for someone else now? Don't leave me Dips " He gulps another shot as he stumbles on the bed –his ears ringing with Deepali's words repeatedly.
***
Mohan hovers over Madhu like a mother hen upset that he cannot take Madhu for the check up which is scheduled today .
"Mohanji it is not like I haven't been to the hospital alone right?"
Madhu laughs "Mohanji I can travel by bus—"
Before Madhu could complete Mohan cuts her off "Not allowed!"
"Okay!" Madhu sighs "Would you be fine if I take someone with me?"
Mohan looks thoughtfully for a minute as he nods "I am sorry—I have to drive Mr.Kundra too or –"
"Mohanji—Don't worry –I am perfectly alright now!"
"Take someone –Don't go alone okay?"
Madhu nods like a good girl making Mohan smile brightly .
Madhu tiptoes into Rishab's room to see him folding the sheets and cleaning the bed .
"Err-" She clears her throat to get his reaction.
Rishab smiles still having his back to her ,
"Errr---" Madhu clears her throat again this time a bit louder
Rishab giggles quietly knowing she is annoyed . "Rishu!" She yells marching towards him with her crutches angrily , standing in front of him she pulls the duvet from his hand and puts it back on the bed .
Rishab puts up a stern mask although inside he was enjoying riling her up .
"Fold the Duvet!' Rishab orders her tying his arms across his chest .
Madhu looks at him pissed "Ohh now you will order me?"
"Yes! of course –Only I can order you around !"
"After marriage –I'll make you circle around my legs cat!" She murmurs under her breath
"Aapne kuch kaha?"
"Nothing! and I don't take orders Akdu!"
"Ahaan—Madhu—All My old nicknames of mine are coming back—So Why is My Tiny creature here early morning?"
"Wohh-I want you to drive me to the hospital !"
"Are you asking me to be your escort? " Rishab asks raising his brow "Why me?" He adds
"Wooh— Mohanji is busy—Rudy left for the album release---and Sultan is sleeping –Meena maa went for grocery shopping –so it leaves that Only My Rishu is jobless " She giggles
"You are making fun of me?" Rishab frowns "I am not jobless –it is that I wasn't in a mood to go to the studio"
"Noo—no—Don't get it wrong " Madhu tells quickly thinking she offended him .
Rishab chuckles "See you all—frightened—I was joking"
Madhu scrunches her nose –an act she is used to do when she is pissed . Rishab pecks her twisted nose .
"You look too adorable"
Madhu flushes a smile blooming on her face but she masks it up with a stern face . Rishab smiles inwardly seeing her antics Life is not going be boring with her
"Rishu—Won't you come?"
"No—I am jobless –So go get someone"
Madhu puts up her best sick look "You want me to take the bus or the train all by myself , with this leg?" She throws in some serious pouting .
Rishab shakes his head negatively hitting on her head lightly while taking the duvet to from the bed too fold it again.
Madhu angrily throws the sheet over his face "Hug this lifelong! –So much for asking!" She marches angrily . Rishab chuckles while pulling the duvet down his face.
Madhu gets ready as she walks out with the crutches . She looks hopefully at him through the blinds to find him busy with his art supplies.
Madhu with a sullen face comes to the hall , She gasps feeling her scooped out in the familiar arms she longs to hold her . Madhu keep a straight face making him chuckle
"So you were playing?"
Rishab chuckles in reply while placing her on the passenger seat in his car . He pecks her red nose making her blush "Haven't I told I am your personal chauffeur madam?"
Madhu giggles anger forgotten seeing his dramatically act and the way he bowed. Rishab sits on the driver seat as they drive off .
Kali who was hiding behind the wall comes into view as the car passes across him , He smiles evilly as he pulls his phone out cross-checking with the picture of Madhu ,"Seems Like my little girl grew up soon"
***
Madhu gazes at him as he drives, his perfect sculpted jaw line with a charming smile playing on his lips . She chuckles lightly for drooling over him like a hormonal teenager .
"How can I drive when You Look at Me like that?" Rishab asks while turning the steering wheel dropping it to the next lane still his eyes focused on the road.
"Looking like what?" Madhu asks softly flushed
"Looking like you want to swallow me down!"
Madhu blinks her eyes twice to make sure she heard him correctly, "Swallow—you?—no—"
"Why are you stuttering ?—Oh god you were really planning to eat me up?"
Madhu blinks her eyes trying to decipher what she just heard from him , "Now why would I eat you up?" , A rosy shades appears on her cheeks as she turns the other way to hide her blush.
Rishab sees through the corner of his eyes and smiles seeing her shy , It is not always you get to see her shy right?
"By the way , Mon Amour, When are you starting college?" he changes the topic swiftly
Madhu looks at him confused "Mon Amour, What does that mean?"
Rishab gives her smug smile and signs zipping his mouth .
"So you won't tell?" Madhu frowns pouting
"Find it yourself" Rishab winks at her giving her a smile which made her want to pull his cheeks and that's what she did she leaned forward instead of pulling his cheeks , Madhu places a small kiss on his left cheek and leans back looking out of the window as if nothing happened.
Rishab rolls his lips in smiling if it had been another situation he would have been shocked but not now since the moment he knew that She felt the same way as he feels. It was her right ONLY her right to kiss him or do whatever she wants to do with him and ONLY he can do anything with her. Love makes people insane and he had just confirmed it .
Rishab passes her a sharp look hearing the doctor as Madhu looks at the doctor aghast,
"You are perfectly alright Ms.Malik!"
Madhu leans towards the doctor and whispers "Doctor I am sure you are mistaken –I am not completely healed yet!"
Rishab eavesdrops their conversation frowning ,
"No Ms.Sharma I am sure –You can even run if you want too!"
Rishab passes her a scary look as she gulps ,
Once in the hallway, Rishab grumbles "I had to drive a perfectly healthy girl to the hospital and she performs like she cannot walk for weeks !"
Madhu pouts "But I was a patient up to now!"
Rishab grins at her just to rile her off he says "Find your own way home Birdie!" , He takes two steps forward leaving her behind who was passing him a heated look.
She runs to catch his pace "Do you hate me so much ?"
Rishab looks at her taken aback shocked by her statement, Rishab opens her mouth to say he was just joking.
"Bloody jerk!" Madhu whispers yells at him and sprint faster leaving him behind.
Rishab chuckles " she left her crutches just now and already running –How Am I going to manage you , lifelong Jerry?" , Rishab chases after her calling onto her name to stop.
Filled with righteous fury , Madhu stamps her foot on the ground and decides to take a bus or train home . She walks halfway only to realize that she left her purse –with her money on the car .
Rishab clutches her purse in his arm as he drives around the hospital looking around for Madhu. Rishab finally sees her walking determinedly.
Madhu hides her smile hearing the car screeching sound behind her as Rishab pulls up .
"Get in Jerry"
Madhu twists her lips and shakes her head "No" , Her nose sticking up in the air .
Rishab barely contains his laughter as he bites his lower lip as he slowly drives alongside her , who was walking in the side with head held high .
"Get in—Mon Amour" Rishab requests again
"No—I will find my way home Mr.Devil!"
Rishab waves her purse in front of her purse "How –without money??"
Madhu grumbles as she says with attitude "I'll just walk then—Weather is so nice"
Grinning seeing how adorable she looks Rishab parks the car and walks out of the come and stands in front of him blocking her .
"Then Come for a drive instead—with me?"
"Ask out properly then!" Madhu tells with an attitude trying to hide her blush
"Sure!" Rishab says smirking
He walks behind her making Madhu tilt her head but instead she sees him hugging her from behind folding her arms across her waist with his .
"Let's go for a drive. Mon Amour" he whispers in her ears making her feel a tickling on her skin.
Before she could process she was ushered in and they were driving off.

Deepali's eyes fills scared seeing two bulky men with black coat pasting red bills and posters around her house .

They pull up at a beautiful scenery at the peak of the mountain , Madhu jumps excited seeing the mist and the beauty. Rishab smiles at her enthusiasm as he stands right behind her leaning onto the railing. Madhu leans back resting her back onto his chest feeling too much ecstatic and in love . Madhu turns around to find him already gazing at her . Rishab brushes his nose with hers making her smile against his cheeks .
"You want to tell me something, Mon Amour?"
Madhu cups his face in her palms and leans forward so their foreheads are touching as she opens her mouth to ask the question which had been an obstacle in her way to her Love.
