Uniting Again

Part 3: The Truth

Two weeks later Rk went to a hotel for dinner meeting , he didn't see Madhu after their talk in the parking. Rk felt pain whenever he remembered Madhu's pain stricken face he knew how hard it was for him to leave Madhu crying there but he was very angry at that time and wanted her to know his pain. Rk was in the middle of the meeting when he saw Sulthan entering the hotel with a girl hand in hand, he got shocked when he realized that the girl was not Madhu. Sulthan sat on the table which was not visible from Rk's place , Rk wanted to know why Sulthan was here with some other girl but not Madhu, was Sulthan cheating on Madhu many thoughts were coming in his mind he tried to ignore them and concentrate on the meeting. Next day at the office Rk kept an eye on Sulthan, at lunch time time Rk saw Sulthan going out and he followed. Rk saw the same girl who was with Sulthan yesterday, she came and started talking to Sulthan, Rk stood a little far from them but was keeping an eye on them but then Rk got shocked when he saw Sulthan kissing the girl, Rk turned his face in disgust, how could Sulthan do that, he looked so honest but he was cheating on Madhu. Rk wanted to tell this to Madhu but he didn't know where she lived nor he had her mobile number, then he got an idea he remembered the conversation between Sulthan and Madhu, Sulthan was telling about some Smile book store which Madhu owned. Rk found out the address of the bookstore and went there.
Rk drove in full anger and reached the bookstore, he pushed the door and entered inside. Madhu got shocked seeing him at the bookstore and that too so angry "Rk you.." "Madhu that Sulthan bast**d is cheating on you" "What??" "I saw him kissing a girl today, he is having affair behind your back" "Rk stop using bad words for him. You cant tell like that about him" "Oh so you trust him more than me" "Its not about trust and he isn't doing anything wrong" "What?" "I broke our engagement so he is free to date or kiss any girl" "Why?" "Because I love you not him. I knew that me and Sulthan would never work but mom wanted me to give a try, she wanted to see me settled in my life. I searched for you but the orphanage people had no idea about your whereabouts, they said after you turned eighteen you left the orphanage. I tried so much to contact you" "I agree that I left the orphanage when i turned 18 but I lived there one full year , you didn't try to contact to me at that time" "Rk you know Smile Orphanage was dad's life it was his dream of helping orphan kids but when the orphanage got closed dad was shattered , he was so worried about the kids. You know how much dad loved you all , how much he cared but when you all got shifted to different orphanages he was very worried for all of you and people accused him of doing fraud in the donation money ,he couldn't bear that so he decided to leave the country. Remember when I came to meet you in your new orphanage on new year ,your birthday, that was my last day in India. We came here and started a new life but dad couldn't get settled here, his health started getting worse day by day and within 3 months he left us and went to God. It was very difficult for mom and me to adjust in a new place. Mom worked very hard to make the ends meet, that one year was very tough for us and after that when I tried contacting you , but you were gone. Now tell me where is my mistake what did I do.I still wear the bracelet you gifted, I opened a bookstore because you loved books. Books made me feel closer to you, I have even read harry potter almost hundred times you know why because it was your favorite and you tell me that i betrayed you" "Madhu I am sorry ,I didn't know all this happened" "Rk please go, I dont want to talk to you" "Madhu please forgive me" "Rk how can you think I will forget you. I love you Rk, always had and always will" "Madhu..." "Rk please go" "Madhu listen..." "Go" Madhu said, Rk turned and went out with tears in his eyes, life has played a cruel joke with them.
