Flashback
Few months before
Madhu came to London to study in St. Woods College for girls. Her aunt sent her there as she can't bear her sight. Madhu has to work to pay her fee. She is employed by a man as a caretaker of his big castle. He is one of the most famous poets.
On her way to his castle, a man on
back passes from her side. The master of the horse lost his control over the horse and the horse comes towards madhu. Madhu frightened steps backwards. A rock comes in her way and she fells. The horse runs faster and throws his master out of its back. The master gets up and goes to check on Madhu. "Are you ok. Im sorry. I lost control over the horse" the man asks madhu. "yeah!! Im fine Sir" madhu replies hurriedly. "Seems like you are in hurry. Where are you going??" the man asks madhu in a gentle tone. "Ohh!! Im going to Kundra Mansion. I'm a caretaker there" she replies sincerely. "You must be Madhu. Im Rishab Kundra. Owner of the castle" he says abruptly. "Ohh I'm sorry Sir. I didn't recognised you" she replies remorsefully. "No need to be Miss Malik. Lets go. You can start from now onwards" he says in an authorative tone. "ok sir" she mumbles.
Soon they reach the castle. It was a beautiful castle made of black stones. There were his poems carved in the walls. It was built in European style. "Miss Malik think this to be your home as I'm out of town most of the time." he says in his bossy tone. "Ok sir" she replies meekly.Few weeks later
Madhu was not only his caretaker now but a good friend to him. They formed a strong bond in just few weeks. But madhu always felt that he is hiding something from her.
One night Madhu hears a screeching voice of a lady. She comes out of her bed and rushes to the hall. She sees RK there. She felt something eerie. "Is everything alright Sir" madhu asks him getting a little afraid of him "Yeah madhu. Everything is fine. Even I came to check the sound. Its nothing. The servant had a nightmare and she screamed. You go and sleep" and he hurriedly went away from there. "But where he is going. He is definitely not going to hus room" madhu thinks but then she wents to her dismissing the thought.
The next day, she was cooking breakfast when she notices RK fuming in anger. She never saw him like this. "Sir breakfast is ready" she whispered. "I don't want it madhu" he shouts at her and goes out of the castle. "He is behaving a bit strange from last night" madhu thinks and shrugs her shoulders. She indulges in cooking humming her favorite tune.
At night, RK returns back and rushes to his room. He was about to go to washroom when Madhu knocks on his door.Madhu's POV
I knocked his bedroom door. He opened the door. As usual he was looking damn hot. I always felt attracted to him from the first day we met. I consider it more than a mere attraction. But I don't know whether he feels the same for me. Am I just a friend to him?? My thoughts were broken by his voice "are you done ogling Madhu?? If yes than you can come to the point. Or if kniw I can stand more of your checking out session" he says smirking. "Uhh uhh...Rk wo dinner.. " I was out of my words seeing him smirking. " from sir to RK...hmm great progress Madhu" again he smirked at me. I hate that damn smirk. Nah!! I love it. "do you want dinner??" I finally asked him. Yayyy!! "yes please. Im starving" he says. I went back to kitchen and heated the food. In meantime he came after freshening up. Man he looks so sexy!! I think. Shut up madhu my subconscious warns me. " the food is damn tasty" he says licking his fingers. "thanks" I replied and smiled at him. We were done with our dinner. He was about to go to his room when he suddenly turned and said "madhu please call me RK from now on. It feels good" he says and headed towards his room.
