4 days later,
Rishi was sitting in his cabin in utter confusion. He was unable to understand what was going on in Lakshmi's mind.......what was happening in his life.
In the last 6 days......
On the 1st day...Rishabh came to him and said that he knew everything about Lakshmi and.......
Flashback,
Rishabh: Dekh Rishi.....Lakshmi ko sabak toh sikhana hi chahiye humein. Aur agar sabak nahi sikhana hain..toh apni property use de de tu....usi kaam ke liye toh yaha aayi hain vo....maine use baat karte hue suna ki vo yaha property ke liye aayi hain.
Rishi: Mujhe laga hi tha........vo kabhi sudhar hi nahi sakti. Uske liye paisa hi sab kuch hain.......ab dekh main kya karta hoon.
Rishabh: Kya karega?
Rishi: Apni aadhi property use de doonga taa ki vo yaha se hamesha hamesha ke liye chali jaaye. Main use bardaasht nahi kar sakta ab aur. Mujhe laga tha ki vo shayad sudhar gayi hain lekin nahi....vo kabhi nahi sudhregi......abhi jaa kar dafa karta hoon use.
Rishabh: Haan haan jaa........
Rishi left to Lakshmi's room and saw her lying down on the floor instead of bed.
Rishi: Lakshmi utho......Lakshmi utho!
Lakshmi's sleep broke. She stood up.
Lakshmi: Rishi.......koi kaam tha? Mujhe bula liya hota......
Rishi: Yeh drama karna band karo samjhi na? Yeh lo...blank cheque......jitna bhi amount fill karna chaho kar lo....aur paise le kar niklo yaha se.....
Lakshmi: Rishi....tum yeh kya bol rahe ho?
Rishi(gripping Lakshmi's arms tightly): Apna yeh drama band kar do......mujhe pata hain ki tum yaha paison ke liye aayi ho aur yaha se nikal jaana chahti ho paise le kar. Toh le lo yeh blank cheque aur niklo yaha se.....chali jaao meri zindagi se hamesha hamesha ke liye.
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Mujhe paise nahi chahiye Rishi.....main yaha paison ke liye nahi aayi hoon....mujhe Rishabh jii yaha laaye the.....isiliye aayi hoon.
Rishi(gripping Lakshmi's arms tightly):Toh kya tum yaha par rehna nahi chahti?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Haan rehna chahti hoon par paison ke liye nahi.......
Rishi(gripping Lakshmi's arms more tightly): Toh fir kis liye? Batao........kyun rehna chahti ho tum yaha?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Tumhare liye.....
Rishi(super tightly gripping Lakshmi's arms):Mere liye? Mujhe fasane ka naya plan hain na yeh?
Lakshmi(teary eyed)(squealing): Aisa kuch nahi hain Rishi......tum galat samajh rahe ho.
Rishi(still gripping Lakshmi's arms): Main koi galat nahi samajh raha hoon.....tum aisi hi ho. Waise rehna kyun hain yaha mere liye? Mujhe maarne ke liye?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Rishi....aisi baatein mat kar please......
Rishi pushed Lakshmi back to which.....she got hurt but didn't said anything. She stood up wiping his tears.
Lakshmi: Tumhe jo sochna hain tum socho.......mujhe farak nahi parta hain........bas main tumhare aas paas rehna chahti hoon...aur kuch nahi.
Rishi: Agar yeh tunhara koi naya plan hua na toh......mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.
Saying this.....Rishi left.
Lakshmi(teary eyed)(in mind): Tumhe kaise bataun Rishi....ki main yaha kyun rehna chahti hoon.
2nd Day,
While cooking food Lakshmi's hand got burnt. Rishi thought to make Lakshmi suffer and invited all his office employees for dinner. He thought that Lakshmi would not be able to make food and taking that opportunity he would taunt and insult Lakshmi so much that she would leave the house but Lakshmi gave him a checkmate. With her burnt hands only...she alone prepared food for 50 people. After everyone left.....Rishi came to Lakshmi's room and saw her trying to apply ointment on her hands but was unable as her both the hands got burnt.
Rishi came inside the room and took the ointment from her.
Lakshmi: Rishi.....rehne do...main laga loongi.....
Rishi: Chup chaap baithi raho yaha.........ek shabd nahi sunn na hain mujhe.
Saying this Rishi applied ointment on Lakshmi's hands and bandaged it. Lakshmi was lost in Rishi's caring side, which didn't allow her to stop admiring her.
Rishi: Jab itna dard tha haathon mein toh bol nahi sakti thi?
Lakshmi: Agar main batati toh tum mujhe kaam nahi karne dete aur fir.....khana kaun banata itne saare logon ka? Mukesh bhaiya par pressure aa jaata.....isiliye.
Rishi was left speechless. He was thinking that Lakshmi tried to act great infront of him but she didn't knew that she would do all this just to help a servant. He was in confusion and hence decided to test Lakshmi's patience........
Rishi left without saying anything.
3rd Day,
Rishi decided to give lots of work to Lakshmi. Lakshmi happily accepted it and decided to complete it but at that time....Rishi kept a condition that she would have to complete it within that day. Lakshmi started working hard and even completed the work. She came to Rishi's cabin when it was 11:57 p.m.
Lakshmi: Kya ab main ghar jaa sakti hoon?
Rishi: Hmm.....
Lakshmi was leaving when suddenly she started feeling dizzy. She was feeling pain in her head and was about to fall down when Rishi saved her.
Rishi(patting Lakshmi's cheeks): Lakshmi......kya hua tumhe? Lakshmi.......
Lakshmi fainted in Rishi's arms.
Rishi took Lakshmi to the hospital.
The doctor: Inhe tez bukhaar aaya hain. Inka acche se dhyaan rakhna........aur yeh dawaiyaan time par de dena.
Rishi brought back Lakshmi home in an unconscious state and lied her down on the bed.
Flashback ends.
Rishi(in mind): Aakhir chal kya raha hain Lakshmi ke dimaag mein? Aakhir kya chahti hain yeh?
Just then......the table infront of Rishi started shaking. It was an earthquake.....a dangerous one. He came out from his cabin and saw everyone panicking
Rishi: Sab fire exit se bahar niklo......abhi......
Everyone started going out but just then one girl in the office said........
"Lakshmi mil nahi rahi hain kahi sir....."
Rishi: Vo aaj office aayi hain?
The girl: Haan sir.........par uski tabiyat theek nahi thi.....maine use kaha bhi tha ki chali jaaye par......uski zidd thi ki aaj ka presentation de kar hi rahegi......
Rishi: Yeh ladki...accha tum jaao...main use dhoond kar laata hoon.
Rishi: Lakshmi!! Lakshmi!!
"Rishi.....main yaha par hoon......"said Lakshmi in a low voice but Rishi heard it.
Rishi came to the storeroom and saw that the ceiling was slowly breaking and a chunk of the ceiling fell on Lakshmi's feet. Lakshmi was crying in pain.
Rishi: Lakshmi.........
Rishi moved that huge chunk from Lakshmi's feet and.....
Rishi: Fire exit se bahar nikal jaao.....aur seedhe ghar chali jaana.
Lakshmi: Nahi jaaungi main tumhe chod kar kahi bhi.......
Rishi: Kyun nahi jaaogi? Tumhare paer par lagi hain I know par thodi si kosish kar lo.....
Lakshmi: Main fir bhi nahi jaaungi Rishi......tum bhi chaloge mere saath warna nahi jaaungi.
Rishi: Arrey pagal ho gayi ho kya? Main nahi aa sakta.
Lakshmi: Kyun? Kyun nahi aa sakte?
Rishi: Mujhe dekhna parega ki office mein koi aur bacha hain ya fir nahi.
Lakshmi: Toh dekh lo.....main yahi wait karungi tumhara.....par tumhare saath hi bahar jaaungi.
Rishi: Arrey yeh building kabhi bhi gir sakti hain......apni jaan bachao...jaao.......
Lakshmi: Nahi jaaungi main tumhe chod kar....samjhe na?
Rishi: Arrey yaar......yeh koi time hain jhagda karne ka? Apni jaan bachao....
Lakshmi: Nahi bachaungi.....agar tumhe kuch ho gaya toh main jee kar kya karungi Rishi?
Rishi: Arrey mat karo meri itni parwah......jaao yaha se....
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Marte dum tak mai tumhari parwah karungi Rishi kyunki main tumse pyaar karti hoon aur hamesha karti rahungi. Hum bahar jaaenge toh saath mein jaaenge.....marenge toh saath mein marenge. Chalo.........
Lakshmi dragged Rishi with her. Her feet was bleeding but she didn't stop. Rishi saw this and took her in his arms. After searching in each and every room......Rishmi left the building and as soon as Rishmi left the building it collapsed.
Rishi(teary eyed): Theek ho tum?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Haan......tum?
Rishi(teary eyed): Tumhare rehte mujhe kya ho sakta hain? I am sorry Lakshmi........maine bohot bura bartaav kiya na?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Nahi Rishi...I am sorry.........maine tumhe beech raha mein chod diya........please maaf kar do.
Rishi(teary eyed): It's okay...bhool jaao purani baatein..........ek nayi shuruwaat kare?
Lakshmi smiled teary eyed.
Lakshmi(teary eyed): I love you Rishi......
Rishi(teary eyed): I love you too.......
Rishmi smiled widely.
