LOVE vs HATRED Book 2

Chapter 50

Madhu picked up the last slice of apple on the plate, her brain still muddling with the incident that took place last night. Why was everything getting so mysterious? She picked up her bag

"Stop thinking so much" he grasped her from behind

She smiled and turned around "not thinking, but wondering why everything is so bizarre"

RK watched her with knitted brows "bizarre?"

She touched his stubble "RK, I want to tell you something"

He kissed her hand "what?"

"But first you have to promise, you won't feel disheartened"

He gazed in her eyes searching "when you're with me, why would I?"

She smiled a little and cupped his face in her hands "I love you a lot RK, anything that affects you... affects me. Anything that is going to harm you, it has to come through to me first before it can even touch you"

RK tried reading her face, and wiped off the small tear sitting near her eyes...

She kissed his lips "RK, I will show you something today. Come"

RK silently walked towards the room and saw her taking the box ...

He recalled the box that was found in Devyani's room when someone came to rob the house

"What is in it Madhu?"

Madhu slowly opened the box and took out the photographs...

RK one by one looked at the pictures and Madhu quietly watched him.

"Devyani is not your real mother" she said softly...

RK frowned angrily staring at the pictures... "But, my Father always said Devyani was my mother and..."

Madhu looked at RK's face... she had never seen him so emotional. She knew he would react this way.

RK shouted "then where is my mother? I will kill this Devyani"

"Calm down RK...please" Madhu cupped his face in her hands.... "Sshh...listen"

"No Madhu, I will not leave this Devyani..." he shouted

Madhu tried to stop him but he pushed her aside... Madhu fell across the table hitting her head against the edge of the side table...

RK immediately looked at her bleeding forehead...

"Madhu..."

She opened her eyes slowly "don't go anywhere RK, please listen"

He picked her in his arms and put her on the bed.... Slowly he wiped the blood off and put a small bandage...

"I am sorry Madhu, I really shouldn't have..." he leaned forward, just enough, and pressed his lips to her forehead in a light kiss.

"RK" she held his hand closer to her heart...

Keeping his eyes closed, he slowly reached up to touch her hair, then kissed her forehead once again

"I shouldn't have reacted but this truth was hidden from me and you're the first person who's revealed this..."

Madhu looked at his frustrated and tired look... she could imagine his emotions... she kept his hand on her breast... "I love you..." then kissed his hand...

She moved a little to kiss him on the lips....

"Madhu, I am..." he was about to say when she kissed his again "don't say anything...I know what you're going through and I am always there with you..."

He embraced her tightly in his arms... "I love you Madhu"

-----------------------------

Later during afternoon...

RK came to Madhu with a big plate of food... she sat resting her head against the headset of the huge bed... "What's this?"

"Your lunch" he added...

She smiled and watched his expressions... "But I am not hungry"

"I know what you're hungry for, now finish this first" he said softly keeping the plate on her side...

Holding his hand she touched his face "I am always there with you RK, no matter what happens."

He came closer kissing her hair "Let's go out tonight"

"Ok"

-----------------------------

The whole restaurant was occupied with few people enjoying the dinner...

"Are you sure you want to sit here?" RK raised his eyebrow...

She smiled at him "yes...I like people around us"

"But I hate it..."

"Hmm, because you can't do anything" she giggled

"Well stop giggling, you know I can do anything, anywhere" he said winking at her... almost making her heart come out...

"Oh really, Mr Husband I challenge you now. You can't do anything in this restaurant with so many people around" she giggled again

RK scratched his stubble a little "ok, but you won't fiddle with what I will do"

"What do you mean fiddle?"

"I mean you won't shout, or object"

She raised her eyebrows gazing at him for few seconds "hmm, Ok I won't"

"Good, let's sit on that table..." he pulled her
