Rishabala FF : Bewitched

Part 09

"Hi." Madhu says smiling at the stranger.

"Hi." RK croaks realizing she truly didn't recognize him.

Madhu turns to look at Nani with a smile waiting to be introduced.

"He got the wrong house. He is on his way out." Nani tells her.

"Oh!" Madhu couldn't hide her disappointment.

"I'll see him out." Nani says.

RK slowly starts walking out trying to come to terms with the fact that Madhu didn't recognize him anymore. How can he heal her broken heart if she has no memories of him?

"Please don't come again." Nani tells him in a whisper as she closed the gate. What she had feared happened. She could see Madhu's smitten look. This was what she had tried to tell Madhu and Trishna. The memories meant nothing when the feelings were so strong. She didn't need to remember him to feel her love for him.

Realizing he had already come out and Madhu was still inside the house, he says "I want to talk to her."

"No. please don't create a scene. She is happy now, let her be happy."

Nani closes the door and goes to the kitchen. Madhu disappointed looks out the window to see the stranger still there looking confused. She quietly sneaks out. She didn't know why she felt this pull towards him, as if he was everything to her. She wanted to be with him. Stay with him. Belong to him. Madhu chuckles at her own stupidity, completely in love with a stranger.

Hearing the door open, RK turns back and stands there shocked seeing Madhu coming out.

"Nani, said you got the wrong house. You looked confused so I thought maybe I could help you." Madhu says smiling.

RK couldn't help remember the first time they had talked. That time he had acted as if he had come to the wrong house.

"Who were you looking for?"

You.

Then he smiles, realizing that it didn't matter if she doesn't remember him. They can make new memories, beautiful pleasant memories.

"Sultan."

"Sultan? Sorry... I don't know... we just moved in like 2 weeks back." Madhu tells him smiling.

"Oh..."

"I am sorry."

"It's okay." RK says smiling.

"I like your car." Madhu says pointing at his black Maserati.

RK smiles, he so could see where this conversation was headed.

"Thanks. Rishabh Kundra."

"Madhubala Malik."

Then they remained silent.

"Sultan is my college mate... I was told this was his house." RK informs her.

"Oh!" then her face falls.

"Is there a problem?" RK asks upset seeing her upset.

"Are you getting married?"

RK chuckles, "Nope... no wife, no girlfriend and no fiance."

"What?" Madhu asks confused.

"I thought I should get that out of the way because I wanted to ask you something."

"Ask me? What?"

"Would you like to have coffee with me?" RK asks her with a smile.

Madhu blushes, "Would love to."
