UNKNOWN OBSESSION A Rishbala fanfiction

NEW FEELINGS?

"So what's up, bro?" RK asked Arjun as soon as he came back from his 'date.'

"All good!"

"Yaa. I can see that. Love is in the air..."

"RK, is it really you?"

"Ha?"

"I mean, you are talking so casually! Like after so many years."

"Ya. Just some good things started happening around me."

"Same here. Pari is really sweet." Arjun said out of the blue, in a dreamy voice.

"So, you guys are serious?" Arjun nodded.

"After that party night, I don't know why but I felt like knowing more about her. Initially, she didn't want to share anything with me, but slowly we talked to each other about our lives; then I came to know that she is a really brave girl—I can't exactly say how and when I started loving her, but when I did, I shared it with her.

But to my surprise, even she confessed her feelings for me. I badly missed her when she went to Delhi, and when she came back, I felt like my oxygen was back. Even Pari was not in a good mood, staying away from Madhu and me. She told me that the only thing that was keeping her happy there was Madhu's mother."

RK had never witnessed this face of Arjun. This was the first time he got serious about his feelings.

"You guys will be a great couple."

"I know. By the way, what's going on between you and Madhu?"

RK went silent immediately.

"You like her?"

RK turned his face away from Arjun.

"Are you afraid that history will repeat itself? C'mon Rishab, it was a good thing that you guys never ended up together back in college."

"History won't repeat itself because my Madhu is not like that cheater Deepali!" RK's voice actually gave a shock to Arjun. In fact, this time, RK was furiously screaming!

"This time I am sure about my decision. I know very well how my Madhu is! She won't think twice before putting herself in danger to save someone else. She won't hesitate to help the people around her. She knows how to make people happy. I was behind her for the past few months just to find out one wrong thing about her just because I didn't want to fall in love again.

But Madhu, she was far beyond all my expectations. Each time I observed her secretly, be it in her academy or her home or anywhere else for that matter, she proved that she is an angel. She proved me wrong; she showed me that selfless love exists in this greedy world. I wanted to dislike her, but instead, she made me fall for her.She is not a gold-digger like that Deepali. She is not a two-timer. She will not go behind money, cheating her loved ones!"

RK shouted, with fire in his eyes.

"RK, relax. Don't be so serious. I was just casually asking."

"I am serious. I am serious about her. I am serious about 'us.' I can't lose her for anything else in this world."

"RK, you sound obsessed with her. But this level of possessiveness is not good. What if she doesn't reciprocate your love? What if she loves someone else?"

Rishab had not thought of something like that until that point!

"No, she... is not in love with anyone; she will... she will only love me." Fear was evident in his voice.
