Playing With Fire (Rishbala Fanfiction)

Chapter 22

(RK's POV)

Bittuji handed me a script. We were going to shoot a proposal sequence today. I took a glance at Dipali. She was busy spraying perfume and doing heavy makeup. I laughed to myself on how ridiculous she looked. And I had to shoot with her.

"Chief, your heroine seems desperate.." Bittuji laughed.

"Highly desperate. Let's hook her up with Armaan." I said. He laughed and went to check on the set up. I sipped on my coffee and eyed Bakshi. He and Armaan would feel my wrath soon. As he prepared everything I thought of a plan. I smirked to myself as I thought of it.

My phone buzzed in my pocket. It was Madhu's message.

"RK, Didu is making me try on new dresses." It read. "Which one is better?"

She sent me two pictures, one in a light yellow anarkali and another in a green and purple anarkali.

"I like both." I messaged back. "You look beautiful in anything, Madhu."

She messaged back a smiley face. I shook my head and went to complete the next shot. Dipali seemed extra eager to pounce on me. I decided to teach her a lesson today. I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Dipali, would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" I asked casually.

She fluttered her eyelashes and got closer to me. I puked a little in my mouth.

"Of course RK....I would love to." She ran her finger down my neckline. She didn't care if she had been humiliated in my house before. She was desperate. Madhu would kill her one day.

"Good. Meet me at Hotel Blue Diamond tonight at 7."

"Okay.." She said.

I could have a date with Madhu tonight and I have some fun messing with Dipali.

(Madhu's POV)

RK planned a candlelight dinner for the two of us tonight. I wore the green and people anarkali for the occasion. I liked that one a pinch better. RK arrived early. Malik invited him inside. I peeked through my bedroom window. He was looking dashing black suit and tie. He adorned a red rose in the front pocket. Trishna saw me from the bed and pushed me outside.

"Didu stop it!" She laughed and kept pushing.

(RK's POV)

I stood up once I saw her, mesmerized by the beauty I was seeing in front of me. She stepped out gracefully, her hair full of curls and falling free on her shoulders. She looked gorgeous in the green and purple anarkali. I approached her and took the rose from my pocket, fixing it in her hair. I kissed her hand, bringing a smile up on her face.

"Shall we leave, jungli billi?" I said. She giggled.

"Yes, my sexy superstar."

Trishna interrupted.

"Okay lovebirds...carry on." She laughed and pushed us out the door. I winked at Madhu and linked my arm with hers. I led her out to the car.

We reached the restaurant. Dipali still hadn't shown up yet. But her date had shown up. He was a spot boy who was head over heels for her. I told him to wait, that Dipali would be a little late. The waiter greeted us and took us to the special table that I had booked for the two of us. Madhu blushed.

"What's wrong jungli billi? Shy?"

"No....it's just that this is all so beautiful." I presented a chair for her and let her sit comfortably. I kissed her on the cheek before taking a seat myself. Dipali's table was a few spaces away. A perfect evening show.

I took Madhu's hand from across the table and held it. She blushed again. The entrees arrived, and we began to eat. I looked around, and sure enough Dipali was headed start for us.

"Hi RK!" She said.

Madhu gave her a death stare, and dropped her spoon back on the plate. Then she glared at me. Dipali looked at Madhu then me.

"What's she doing here? I thought this was our date."

"Sweetheart, I said do you want to join me for dinner, not if you want to have dinner with me."

"But that's the same thing!"

"Not in my books. I'm crazy you know...your date is over there." I pointed to the other table, where the spot not was sitting. He looked over here and smiled wide, eying Dipali.

"Have fun." I waved to her. She stormed off and sat at that table, giving me looks ever so often.

"RK why is she here? And what is this about a date?" Madhu enquired.

"It's our evening show. Enjoy." I smiled. She shook her head and continued to eat.

We took occasional glances at Dipali. She was not enjoying her date, but she was getting the attention she wanted. Madhu seemed to enjoy seeing her like that. She didn't want anyone else to touch me.

I ordered a chocolate cake after dinner. I led Madhu to the back banquet hall, which I had booked just for the two of us. She gasped in excitement when she saw the cake. It read I love you on the top.

"This is so cute RK!"

"Anything for you." I wrapped my arms around her. I signaled for the music to be cued.

"May I have this dance?" I said.

"You may." She said. I took her in my arms and swayed her to the beat. We got lost in each other's eyes. I prayed from the bottom of my heart that this moment would last forever.

We cut the cake and fed each other. Madhu was being naughty and put icing on my nose. I got her back. We became children for a moment. I grabbed her by the waist again, pulling her closer to me every second. I cursed my lips into hers, sucking on them passionately. She grabbed handfuls of my hair and pulled me in for just a bit longer.
