HOLD MY HAND - RISHBALA SS

Chapter 6

It was morning

Madhu gained conciousness...she looked around and found herself in Abhay's house. She harked back to the last night and remembering everything her heart started beating fast she sweated and breathed heavily...she couldn't believe that whether yesterday was a dream or it all happened in real with her.....while she was occupied with so many questions in her mind....Someone knocked the door....she looked towards the door...and RK entered inside.

RK: Hi...I am sorry I know you must be angry.....but I didn't have any other option...I don't know you....and last night you fell unconciouss so I brought you here.....I hope you won't eat me for this? (He said while coming inside)

Madhu was in shock it was not a dream but a reality he was again standing in front of her.

Madhu: Abhay (She said in a strangled voice)

RK: No...I am Rishabh

She died a thousand times listening to this. He was a carbon copy of Abhay so how could she believed...but she had to....she had to believe this cruel reality that he is not her Abhay but another man with his face....She shook her head in despair but suddenly something struck her mind and she stood up.

Madhu: How come you are here....I mean in this house? (She asked him...still hoping that he himself confesses that he is Abhay)

RK: Actually I live in New York....(And he started narrating his story to Madhu)

Madhu was totally shocked and covered her mouth while crying....and immediately ran away....as she couldn't take it more.

RK: Hey!! (He tried to stop her but she was gone)

Madhu quickly ran towards her house....and rang the bell impatiently...Trishna who was waiting for Madhu all night immediately opened the door.

Trishna: Madhu where were you...you told me...(she was all ready to scold her but seeing her in tears Trishna stopped and got more worried as why she is crying)...what happened Madhu why are you crying (She said carressing her face)

Madhu quickly hugged her only to get some comfort in her Didu's arms.

Trishna: What happened Madhu tell me please I am getting worried?? (She asked carressing her hair as Madhu was still crying)

Madhu broke the hug...She tried to Tell her but her voice got choked everytime. Trishna made her sit on the chair and made her drink water so that she calms down....Finally Madhu calmed down and gained some strength to tell Trishna the Truth....and she shared everything what happened with her last night and how she met RK. Trishna was all confused...she wanted to believe Madhu but how could she believe her....what she said was far away from reality.

Trishna: Madhu may be he was someone else...may be your eyes have decieved you (She tried her best to convince her that whom she saw was someone else)

Madhu: No Didu...why aren't you believing me....he lives right next to our house...I mean in Abhay's house...come I'll show you (She stood up and Made Trishna also stand by pulling her hand)

Trishna jerked off her hand and said

Trishna: Okay okay listen to me Madhu...we will go but not right now as you are getting late for your office and you can't take leave as you have just joined it so go and get ready we will go in the evening okay? (Trishna said it because she didn't wanted to create a scene at someone's house early in the morning plus she was also worried for Madhu....so she found this way to calm her down)

After an hour Madhu got ready. As she kept one step out of her house her gaze went to RK's house. She walked still looking at his house with the corner of her eye. RK was having a cup of coffee standing near the window with his mind still thinking about Madhu. Soon his gaze went on Madhu who was coming out of her house. He quickly kept his coffee on the table and took something and ran outside.
