Playing With Fire (Rishbala Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

(Madhu's POV)

RK followed me outside into the hallway. We stood there awkwardly in the midst of nurses and doctors rushing about with their medical equipment. RK stared around, running his hand through his hair. I stayed silent as well, looking down at my feet. I needed to redo my nail polish.

"Chief! Phone for you!" Bittuji said running up to us.

"Phone? Who is it?" RK asked.

"Some producer. He is new to the industry and wants you to be the hero."

"Hmmmmm.....call him over. And tell him I'll only do it if I like the script."

"Okay chief."

Bittuji sauntered away. RK was about to say something to me when suddenly a nurse popped up between us.

"The discharge papers RK sir."

She handed him the papers and a pen. She showed a fangirly face, her eyes wide in excitement. I wanted to punch her. She couldn't stare at RK like that. I sulked and tried to make it obvious that I wasn't happy. She glared at me and angrily took the signed papers back. RK smirked at him.

"Jealously at its finest."

"I'm not jealous." I said, hiding my strawberry red face.

"Did you know you don't know how to lie?" He asked.

"I'm not lying!" I yelled. People turned and stared at me. "You're not even my real boyfriend." I said more quietly.

"Whatever you say...." He winked devilishly and went back to Anuskha. Another nurse followed with a wheelchair.

(RK's POV)

I tried to help Anu get into the wheelchair as painless as possible. But she was making my life difficult.

"No Rishu.....it going to hurt if I move. Real bad!" She shouted right into my ear.

"Anu stop being childish! Sit on it quietly or stay in the smelly hospital!"

"Be careful then! I'm fragile!"

"As if I don't know! Thank you captain obvious!"

"Shut up Rishu!" She said, hesitating to sit in the wheelchair.

I finally got her settled in the wheelchair. I took the responsibility of taking her down. The doctor appointed Anu a nurse as well.

"Rishu, ask Madhu to come home too. I want her to take care of me along with the nurse."

"But...."

"Go." She said, not taking no for an answer.

"Fine."

"Thank you." She smiled wide again. Why did I get such a crazy girl for a sister.

(Madhu's POV)

"Umm Madhu.....would you be willing to stay at my place to take care of Anu? She will kill me if you say no."

"But I have to ask Malik....and..Tris..."

"Don't worry about them. Malik practically loves me. Convincing him would be like this." He snapped his fingers to prove a point.

"Fine. I'll stay."

"Great." He said. The nurse brought Anu to him.

"Madhu, you're coming then?"

"Yeah. Since you are insisting, I'll come."

"Thanks. We're going to have so much fun. Talking and criticizing Mr. Superstar over here."
