RISHMIIII

chapter 4

Lakshmi enters the oberoi mansion. And went straight to her room to change her clothes . She was broken and tired by pretending about her move onn she could not forget her first love, his name, his love even though it was fake and his betrayal and living under the same roof and in the same room with the same man added to her miserable pain. She wipes her tears and puts a fake smile.
as it was almost time for dinner. Everyone was at the dinning table except for rishi.

Neelam: Rishi nahi aya abhi tak. Lakshmi tumhe cafe leke gaya tha fir kaha gaya.

Lakshmi: umm. Mummy ji woh toh mujhe cafe me drop karte hi chale gaye the ...

Ayush: Mami bhai office thoda late aaye the almost hum sab ke nikalte waqt. Aaj shayad office me hi rahenge .

Vir: pareshaan mat ho wo waha se kuch na kuch kha lega aur waise bhi woh humesha office me late tak rukta hi hai agar uska kaam pending ho.

Lakshmi frowns and whispers to herself: ek phone toh kar dena chahiye. Mr. Careless Oberoi.

Rishi enters...
Ahana sees Rishi and signals Ayush to continue their plan.

Ahana: Bhabhi ye sab chodo aap ye batao aapki date kaisi thi?

Ayush: Aree acchi hi thi bhabhi ke face pe smile dekh kar samjh nai ara tujhe.

Neelam: Rishi beta khana khaalo ..

Rishi: Mom mera mood nahi hai.

Rishi walks away while Lakshmi holds his hand: Apna gussa khane per mat nikalo baith jao me room me khaana kha lungi...

Rishi: Gussa tumse? Aap hain kon humari? Ek fake Rishta hai.

Vir: Rishi hosh me nahi ho tum? Drink ki tumne?

Lakshmi: Bauji sach hi toh keh raha hai. Humara Rishta iske liye kya hai wahi describe kar raha hai.

Rishi: haan jaise tumhare liye ye to yeh sab bohot mushkil hua haina ye jo natak hai na band kardo.

Dadi: Chup kar. Ab agar iss khane ki table pe kisi ne ek shabd bhi bola toh chup chaap kha na khao aur Rishi Tu bhi chup chaap baith.

Rishi tried to protest but it was not worth it.

Ahana again tried to raise her question: haa bhabhi mere question ka answer nahi diya aapne.

Lakshmi: sab.... Thik.... Tha.. Woh accha insaan hai.
Rishi clenched his fists. as a reaction to this.

The dinner ended and everyone went back to their rooms.

Lakshmi went to the terrace while rishi was in his room drinking alcohol. And accidentally broke his glass. He picked it up and cleaned the mess. And ended up getting hurt by a glass piece.

Lakshmi came back and she panicked seeing rishi in this state. His teary red eyes and blood oozing out from his hand.

Lakshmi immediately ran to him and bandaged him. She had tears while rishi just looked at her.

Lakshmi: sniffs tumhe apna khayal rakhna chahiye. Khoon nikalta ja raha hai aur tum kuch nahi kar rahe the.

Rishi: Meri itni fiqr kyu hai? Ab toh humare raaste bhi alag honge... Hogaye...

Lakshmi: sniffs again and wipes her tears. Par raaste alag tum hi ne toh kiye. Tum toh kabhi mere paas the nahi tumne mujhe bhi door hi kardiya... Sniffs.

Rishi: tumne roka nahi mujhe kyuki tum bhi yahi chahti thi.

Lakshmi: Ruk kar kya karungi mein. Tumhaari aur Malishka ki shaadi hogi tab me kis haq se ruk jaaon..

Rishi holds her hand: Dosti ka rishta woh toh tha humare beech. Use kyu bhool gai tum.

Lakshmi: Dost jhooth nahi bolte.

Rishi: toh thik hai aaj se abhi se me tumse kabhi bhi jhooth nahi bolunga. Mein Rishi Oberoi mujhse dosti karogi.

Lakshmi: Sirf Dost.. Haina.

Rishi: haa aache wale dost tumhe jo bhi problem ho tum mujhe bolna aur me jaanta ho abhi mushkil hoga par hum dono wapas se dost ban jayege aur tum mujhpe trust kar sakogi. Please...

Lakshmi: haa okay..

Rishi: toh aapka introduction.?

Lakshmi: Myself Mrs. Lakshmi Oberoi..... Ummm Myself Ms. Lakshmi Bajwa....

Rishi: hi ! Tumhaari Date kaisi rahi? ( he asked unwillingly)

Lakshmi: acchi thi..

Rishi: Aur woh ladka!?

Lakshmi: okayish tha. Waise sach kahun toh woh bilkul tumhare jaisa tha. Caring, gentle aur humble bhi.

Rishi:tum usme mujhe dhoond rahi thi haina. And he smiles.

Lakshmi: woh..... Me soch rahi thi me....... Thak gayi hoon...... So jate hai raat kaafi hogai hai...

Rishi: haan okay good night. .

Lakshmi thinks: ye move onn bohot mushkil hoga har insaan me rishi hi dikhne lagta hai.
