Playing With Fire (Rishbala Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

(RK's POV)

(A few weeks later....)

"Hey Madhubala.....guess what is going to happen in three days."

"What?" She answered back sharply.

"Success Party!" I said, doing a little dance in front of her.

"So?"

"You are really annoying sometimes. It will be the day when the whole world knows about my girlfriend."

"So I HAVE to come?"

"Yeah. Because the director invited Armaan there too." I winked at her.

"What do I tell my family?"

"Tell them the truth. That you are with me."

"You think that will be easy?"

"Yes. Because I have a plan. Keep the snacks ready at your house." I laughed.

"I don't know what you are planning, but please do whatever it is on your own. I won't help you here."

"I don't need your help in this plan. RK can handle it on his own." I said.

"Ok. Bye." She got up and left.

(Madhu's POV)

This RK was a complete mental case. What was he going to do when he came home?

I heard people screaming outside. I opened the window and peered down. All the girls had gathered around the car that had just pulled up. RK was in the drivers seat. Great.

He stepped out of the car and gave a flying kiss to all the girls present. He then started to make his way up the steps to my home. I closed the shutters of the window. Prepare for the storm coming, Madhu.

I acted natural and picked up a book from the table. I began to read it when he knocked on the door. Malik turned off the stove and went to answer it.

"R....RK!" He was shocked to see him there.

"Hello Mr. Malik." He said.

"Come in." Malik said.

He walked in like a casual person. His eye caught me first.

"What brings you here? Please sit."

"I'm here to ask your permission for something."

"Permission? From me! What for?"

"I'll explain. Can we talk alone?"

"Of course." Malik and RK went into the adjacent room.

They came out a couple minutes later, like a father and son. I almost spit out my cold drink. What had just happened?

"Madhu...he is perfect for you. He will always be at your side." Malik said.

I was confused. What did RK say to him? Meanwhile, RK was snickering at my expressions.

"You two talk. I'll get some tea."

"No! I mean.....I'll make the tea Malik.....you relax."

"It's okay beta. I'll do it." He retreated to the kitchen.

RK sat down next to me on the couch. He put his arm around my shoulder.

"What are you doing? And what did you tell Malik?"

"I told him that we love each other. And that I would never leave you like Armaan did."

"And he believed you?"

"Duh! I'm an actor. Silly girl." He lightly smacked my forehead, smiling.

"And the party?"

"Done. You are coming with me. I got permission."

"Okay." I relaxed a bit.

Malik came with the tea minutes later. He smiled big at both of us.

"He is a good guy." Malik whispered to me while giving me my tea.

"Thanks...." I said.

RK got up to leave after finishing the tea. Malik got up too.

"I'll take your leave...Mr. Malik. I'll come and pick Madhu up for the party."

I was taken aback for a minute. It was the first time he called me Madhu. I looked at him and he winked at me. He walked to the doorway, where all the neighbors were standing, trying to get a glimpse of him.

"Bye RK..." I waved. Malik smiled.

"You two make the perfect couple." He said as I shut the door.

(Hour before the party....)

A man came at the door with a fancy package. What was it?

"Ma'am....RK sir sent this for you." He said.

"Okay....thank you...you can leave." I said. He left.

It was a fancy box....like the ones you find clothes in. I took it to my room and opened it. It was a sparking black sari. It was beautiful.

I found a small note at the bottom of the box. It read.....

"I'll be here to get you in half an hour...wear this sari....RK."

This RK had good choice. I looked at the sari for a few moments....then went to get ready.

(RK's POV)

I went up to Madhu's door and knocked. She came forward wearing the sari I gifted her. She was looking stunning.

"What?" She said.

"Nothing....you just look gorgeous tonight." I smirked.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Ready." I linked my arm up with her and took her down to the car.
