What if - Rishmi FF

Part 15

Rishi goes to the bar section and asked for fruit champagne. Lakshmi comes behind him wondering what happened. She sees the drink in his hand and assumes he was drinking alcohol.
Lakshmi: Kya hua tumhe Rishi. Aise kyu chale aaye waha se
Rishi: Kyu, tumhe kya farak padta hai tum karo na Vihaan se baat. Main kuch bhi Karu usse tumhe kya
Lakshmi: Arre main to bas usse generally baat kar rhi thi. Tum gussa kyu kar rhe ho. Aur ye kyu pi rhe ho tum. Roka hai aaj aur ye sab karna jaroori hai?
Rishi realises she thought he was having alcohol but didn't correct her. He wanted to irritate her.
Rishi: To tumhe kya. Mera man hai pine ka to main piyunga.
Lakshmi: Theek hai karo jo karna hai. Main baad me tumhe nai sambhalne wali.
And she leaves from there irritated.
Rishi: I swear gusse me bhi itni cute lagti hai, kaise control kare koi
The function continues and the roka is done. Everyone is very happy. Slowly the celebrations start and everyone is dancing. Rishi notices that Vihaan was doing very good Punjabi dance and Lakshmi was clapping loudly. Ahana pulled her to dance and then Vihaan came and danced with her. She seemed to be having a lot of fun. Rishi got jealous again and he wanted to prove to Lakshmi he was better. He went and started dancing alongside Vihaan.  And slowly it kind of became like a dance off between Rishi and Vihaan. Not a full fledged thing that others would notice but Rishi was competing for Lakshmi's applause not realising he was her only focus. He was so engrossed in the dance and he took one wrong turn and twisted his ankle. He sat down with pain and everyone rushed to him. Lakshmi got flustered and forgetting everything just started messaging his foot continuously asking if he was okay. Malishka came too. She had understood looking at the behaviour and surroundings that no one knew about the breakup except Neelam. And she wanted to take advantage of the situation. She held Rishi's face and asked him if he was okay. Rishi felt a little awkward but didn't want to insult her infront of everyone by removing her hand. Then  he was taken to the room helped by Aayush and others. Neelam told him to rest strictly and then everyone went down to finish the function and see off the guests.
Lakshmi came to the room with some medicinal paste. She sat down and applied it quietly to his foot, looking down the entire time.  She didn't want to look up and Rishi knew the reason why. She was in tears and he couldn't see her in pain. He slowly sat up and lifted her chin to make her face him. He removed the strands of her hair disturbing her face and then wiped her tears.
Rishi: Arre Lakshmi tum kyu ro rhi ho. Chot to mujhe lagi hai
Lakshmi: Mujhe tumse koi baat nai karni. Tum kabhi apna khayal nai rakhte ho. Kaha hai na maine tumhe ki tumhe chot lagti hai to dard mujhe hota hai fir bhi tum apna dhyan nai rakhte. Hamesha Aisa karte ho
Rishi: Ohho biwi ji kuch nai hua hai mujhe bas pair muda hai thoda sa. Subah tak bilkul theek ho jaega. Tum please apna ye aansuon ka tanker band karo. Tum mujhe rote hue bilkul achi nai lagti.
Lakshmi: Nai band karungi. Tum meri koi bhi baat nai maante. Main kyu maanu. Maine tumse kaha tha mujhe nai pasand tumhara drink karna par tumne fir bhi pi aur fir kya jaroorat thi itne Josh me dance karne ki ki khud ko chot laga li. Mujhe pata hai tum bahot ache dancer ho but tumhe ye Punjabi dance nai aata na poora. Tum to waise bhi sheher wala dance karte ho. Kya jaroorat thi Vihaan ke saath compete karne ki
Rishi: Tum samajh gyi thi?
Lakshmi: Haan to
Rishi: Main to bas chahta tha ki mera dance tumhe sabse acha lage. Mujhe nai acha lagta jab tumhe mujhse jyada kisi aur ke saath maza aata hai
Lakshmi: Kisne kaha ye tumse? Kisne bola ki mujhe Vihaan ke saath zyada maza aa rha tha. I mean ye sach hai ki wo tumse jyada acha dancer hai. Mujhe tumse pehle se jaanta bhi hai aur mere sath uski jodi sahi bhi rehti hai dance me but maza... Actually sahi baat hai uske sath zyada maza aa rha tha dance me bhi
Rishi gets angry and sad
Rishi: Sach me uske sath jyada acha lag rha tha tumhe?
Lakshmi: Offo buddhu mazak kar rhi hoon. Mujhe hamesha sabse jyada maza tumhare saath hi aata aur tumse better to koi aur hai hi nai dance me. Tabhi to meri nazar nai hatt rhi thi aapse Mr. Rishi Oberoi.
Rishi: Aur tumhari jodi bhi sirf mere saath achi lagti hai har cheez me, hamesha.
Both of them laugh and sit there looking at each other.
Lakshmi: Acha ab main jau? Neeche kaam hai na.
Rishi: Thodi der mere paas baitho na Lakshmi please. Hume kabhi akele time nai milta.
Lakshmi: Rishi please abhi nai. Raat ko baat karenge. Abhi mujhe jaane do.
Rishi: Fir main bhi neeche chalunga tumhare sath
Lakshmi: Kaise jaoge tum. Dard hai na. Tum aaram Karo. Main thode der me dinner lekar aati hoon.
She goes down and in sometime guests have started leaving. The Oberois and Gujrals sit for dinner. They are having dinner and discussing the forthcoming functions. Malishka was no where to be seen, actually she had gone to Rishi taking advantage of Lakshmi being busy. Her mother had left for home and she said she would come later. While deciding the events they come to a question for arranging the priest. Since Neelam trusted on Malishka's priest she suggests they call him for the pooja which was to happen before the wedding functions. Gautam's mom said she was good with anyone they trusted. Everything was decided and Gautam's mom was talking to the lady who initiated this rishta.
((I am keeping Gautam's mom's name as Sunaina and the lady Preeti. I don't remember their names 🙈))
Preeti: Sunaina tumne us pandit ke lie haan kyu boli
Sunaina: Kyu kya hua. Kuch problem hai?
Preeti: Haan Maine suna hai wo fraud hai. Jhooti baatein bolta hai paison ke lie aur fir daan-dakshina ke naam pe bahot loot-ta hai ache parivaro ko. Maine to ye bhi suna hai ki paise lekar wo jhoothe dosh aur upaay bhi batata hai
Sunaina: To fir Aisa hai to Neelam ji ne uska naam kyu lia.
Preeti: Pata nai, mujhe to laga unhe pata hoga ye sab
Sunaina: Main abhi unse baat karti hoon
She tells every one that she would get her purohit for the pooja and they didn't need to call the pandit Neelam suggested. Neelam asked why the change as he was a family pandit for Malishka's family and they trusted him but Sunaina just made an excuse. They all agreed as it didn't matter too much.
But Aayush had heard this conversation between Sunaina and Preeti and he had finally got a clue to uncover the kundali truth from. He pieced it together that it was all Malishka from the beginning and it was because of her that Lakshmi was being termed ashubh. He felt so angry and rushed at once to tell Rishi. But going there he saw Malishka in the same room so he decided to keep quiet and uncover all this on his own and he left. He knew how Rishi would be hurt knowing all of this.
After the Gujrals left Lakshmi made a plate for Rishi and took it to their room. On reaching she saw Malishka sitting there holding Rishi's hand and talking to him. She felt bad but came in with the plate.
Lakshmi: Rishi tumhara dinner. Main bed pe table de deti hoon tum wahi kha lo.
Rishi realised that Lakshmi didn't like the fact that Malishka was holding his hand and quickly removed his hand. He broke up with Malishka but he still considered her a friend and thought that he should be with her emotionally since she was hurting. Malishka saw the change in Lakshmi's behaviour and was happy that her plan worked. She excused herself and said that she would leave for home..
Lakshmi put the table in front of Rishi and kept the plate there. She was going but Rishi held her hand stopping her.
Rishi: Tumne khana khaya?
Lakshmi: Kya lagta hai tumhe?
Rishi: To fir kaha jaa rhi ho..baitho yaha mere paas
Lakshmi: Kyu Malishka ke saath baithne se man nai bhara jo ab main baithu
Rishi: Tumhare pati ko chot lagi hai aur tum uske paas baith bhi nai sakti
Lakshmi: Mere pati ko dusri ladkiyon ke saath baithne me jyada interest hai na fir meri kya jaroorat.
He pulls her hard and she lands up falling on him. Their faces are centimetres apart and she could feel his breath on his face. Her breathing has stopped because of the proximity
Rishi: Isme hai tumhare pati ko interest. Aur ab saans le lo warna you know...
Lakshmi blushes and tries to get up but Rishi doesn't let her.
Rishi: Arre abhi kaha na mujhe isme interest hai to main itni interesting cheez jaane kaise de sakta hoon
He slowly moved her hair from her face looking deep into her eyes with fiery passion. He slowly caressed her cheeks and move to the corner of her lips. Lakshmi couldn't control anymore and quickly got up.
Lakshmi: Tum khana kha lo jaldi se. Fir dawa bhi Leni hai
Rishi smiles at the effect he has on her.
Rishi: Theek hai but tumhe bhi mere saath khana hoga. Baitho yaha.
He makes her sit with him. And they both eat feeding each other.
Rishi: Yaad hai na agar mujhe kaata to kiss kar lunga.
Lakshmi smiles and blushes. They have a good time feeding each other. Later after finishing dinner Lakshmi goes down and finishes all the work. She came up and went to change. Once she came out she asked Rishi to change. But Rishi being himself told her he needed help. She helped him remove the jacket and kurta. He was now only in vest and lower. She helped him go to the washroom and stood outside to help when he was done. He called her inside and she saw he was still wearing the vest
Rishi: Please meri help kar do na. Shayad na girne pe mere haath me bhi lag gyi thi. Dard ho rha hai khud se karne me..
Lakshmi shyly comes to him to help. She helps him take off the vest. Her handsome husband was standing there bare chested in his full glory and she couldn't stop admiring him. Afterall she was human and the desire in her was rising. She wanted to be close to him but she was too shy to initiate anything. Rishi was happy with the reaction she gave and was elated he could seduce her so easily. He pulled her to him in a jerk and she bumped into his rock hard chest. She closed her eyes and her breath was raspy. Rishi loving this sight of her slowly moved his hands on her back and removed her hair to one side. He bent down and kissed her neck softly. Lakshmi's legs wiggled with pleasure and she would have fallen down if Rishi wasn't holding her. He kissed her again and slowly moved to her face and kissed her on the cheek. He was moving ahead but Lakshmi jolted out of it and moved back. She was shy and quickly moved out of the washroom. Rishi was surprised at her reaction and didn't know what went wrong. He came out after changing. She helped him out of the washroom and gave him medicines. He lied down on the bed, Lakshmi said she had some work with Ahana and would come back in a sometime and that he should go to sleep.
Rishi waited for sometime but ultimately slept before Lakshmi came back.
In the morning too, Lakshmi wasn't talking to him properly. She asked him if his foot was okay now and Rishi replied in affirmative. She wasn't looking into his eyes and it bothered Rishi a lot.
Rishi: Kya hua hai tumhe, kal raat se tum itna ajeeb kyu behave kar rhi ho.
Lakshmi: Aisa kuch nai hai Rishi
Rishi: I... I am sor..
Lakshmi: Mujhe pata hai Rishi tum yehi kehna chahte ho na ki kal jo bhi hua wo galti se hua, heat of the moment me hua, you didn't mean it. I know Rishi. Please hum ye baat nai karte hai. Bhool jaate hai jo hua
Rishi: Lakshmi par
Lakshmi: It's okay Rishi. Tum ready hokar neeche naashta karne aa jao.
Lakshmi leaves..
Rishi: Par Lakshmi meri poori baat to suno..
Lakshmi POV: She felt that Rishi was feeling guilty of getting close to her when Malishka was still in the equation. She did think he loved her but it was a recurring doubt and she wasn't clear if he loved her or Malishka. Rishi had not said anything about loving her after the karwa chauth night and she didn't want him to have any guilt or want him to be stressed about it.
Rishi on the other hand understands why she said all that and decided that he will tell her tonight about his feelings and how he had broken up with Malishka and all he ever wanted from now on was to be with Lakshmi, the love of his life.
