Afar for my Love's happiness

Part 6

Rishabh parked the car and they got down. Rishabh

still confused while Madhu had put on a wide smile on

her face. As they entered the corridoor of the private

ward of the hospital, a small girl came running towards

them with her arms stretched and Madhu leaned down

to pick her up. Srishti didnt shout her usual greet as

she was taught by now not to speak in high volume in

the hospital. The girl gave Madhu a big kiss on her

cheek and Madhu returned the kiss back.

Rishabh all this while was unable to comprehend

things. Does Madhu have a daughter? He could see the

way the little girl came running towards her and

Madhu's face had also brightened many shades seeing

her. He could see the two talking in husky voices with

Madhu asking about her day and she was giving her all

details about her school. I am sure her name is Miss

Madhubala then... ohh she could be divorced or

widowed. But Madhu never mentioned it. Rishabh was

getting apprehensive now thinking of Madhu with a

daughter. okay so whatever it is she is not married at

this time and thats for sure. That was what Rishabh

decided in the end not knowing if it was the way things

presented to him made him come to that conclusion or

because his heart wanted to believe that.

Rishabh's trail of thoughts was broken when he felt a

pair of eyes scrutinising him very intently. Srishti tried

her best to recognise him. And at last gave up and

shook her head vigorously in a negative. While Madhu

giggled at her. Srishti looked at her confused. A smile

broke on Rishabh's face seeing the baby girl. She is so

cute.

"Srishti... meet RK uncle.. my friend and RK meet.."

"SRISHTI... I know... " Rishabh said confidently looking

at Srishti while Srishti was really impressed with her

maasi's friend. She loooked at him delighted.. "You

know me...??" Srishti almost exclaimed keeping her

hands on her chest.

"Of course... who would not know a sweet girl like

you..." Rishabh said in a matter of fact tone. Madhu

smiled seeing the two.

"come... lets go inside."

The three walked in. Rishabh still trailing behind

Madhu. As they came to a turn in corridoor, they saw a

woman seeing their way as if waiting for someone.
