My Love

17. Hope

Ria entered the huge building.

She was wearing a white shirt with a brown pencil skirt and heels.

She wore black thick rimmed glasses
and tied her hair in a side ponytail.

She went to the receptionist.

"Ria Somani. I have an appointment fixed for RK sir's PA" she introduces herself.

"Please wait for some time ma'am. I will check and tell you. Do you want coffee??" she offered.

"No thanks" ria politely declined.

Meanwhile she decided to call Madhu.
"Hello madhu! I reached the office. I will be meeting him in an hour or so" she tells madhu every little detail till now.

"Just be careful Ria" madhu couldn't help but worry.

"Ma'am you can go inside. Its on the 59th floor" the receptionist told ria about the whereabouts of RK's office.

"Bye madhu.  Gotta go.  Take care" she quickly says and drops the call.

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

"May I come in sir" ria asks knocking the door.

"Come in Miss Somani" came a husky but authorative, rude and cold voice.

Ria could not help but stare at the epitome sitting in front of her.

Black business suit, light stubble, black brown hairs, brown eyes, tightened jaw,  chieseled lips, broad shoulders, muscular chest and and.....

14 inch biceps and EIGHT PACK ABS!!!!!

Ohh my gosh!!!

I am about to faint!!!

"Shall we proceed if you are done checking me out Miss" and he snaps his finger in front of her face.

"Huh" Ria came out of her dreamland,  embarrassed, red

Now it was time to see his lavish cabin but she cannot keep her eyes off the 6 feet Greek God in front of her.

Sexiness dripping from his face

Shit ria shit!!!  Focus!!!  He is your best friend's boyfriend!!!
Madhu really caught a sexy man

"Can you come out of your dream land Miss Somani" Rk asks her pissed.

Its not new for him.  Every girl drools him. 

He used to enjoy it previously but now he is only for his girl.

His body is for her only to feast on.

His girl!!!  His madhu!!!

"Sit Miss Somani" he politely said to her.

"Thank you sir" ria manages to say feeling short of breath.

"No need to be scared.  Be comfortable" rk tries to make the environment a little comfortable.

"Can I see your documents??"

"Huh??"

"Can I see your documents??" he repeats but softly not wanting to scare the shit out of her.

She passes the file to him.

"Hmmm.... So you have good records.  But why did you left that job??? Your records clearly state that you get a decent pay and you are talented too." rk asks flipping the pages of her file.

"Sir.. "

"Chief" he cuts her in between

"Sir.. Umm sorry.....Chief I was working there from past 5 years as Ma'am's PA.  We bonded really well and soon we became best friends. My personal and professional life was getting mixed so I preferred leaving the job. " she told him the history.

"Hmmm" he hummed and continued viewing her documents.

Suddenly, his eyes caught a name.  A name which is music to his ears and chocolate to his tongue.

'Madhubala Malik'

"Who is this Madhubala Malik??" he tries to keep a straight face but inside his heart was doing somersaults and the happiness can be seen in his eyes.

"Chief!! She is the owner of world's fastest growing fashion label Lemon and Orange" ria tries to study his face for any sign of hope

"Lemon and Orange???" he asks outrageously shocked.

"Rish am going to name my fashion label Lemon and Orange" madhu says eating her orange squeezing some lemon juice on top of it

Hearing her,  rk burst out laughing.

"Madhu you are seriously crazy.  First of all you are eating orange with lemon juice and now you will label your fashion label on these.  You should see a psychiatrist soonish babe" he says between his laughter turning serious at last part.

In return he earned an angry glare from her.

"See rishab!!  You will see Lemon and Orange as a world renowned brand.  I bet you!!!" she says in a serious no-nonsense tone.

"Okay fine.  I surrender"

"Yes" she confirms his doubt.

Lemon and Orange were Madhu's favourite fruits.  Beside she was doing her fashion designing. And she told me she will name her label Lemon and Orange. Could she be my madhu??

"True Miss Somani. This is growing really fast.  I didn't knew you worked for this brand.  Everyone is going gaga to purchase its stuffs.  Its getting popular in USA too" he keeps a straight face but inside he is really happy for his madhu, his baby.

"Yes chief" ria could clearly see the love shining in RK's eyes for Madhu.

"What's her age?? " rk tries to dig out some information to confirm his doubt.

"26 years and she has a 3 year old daughter too.  She is really talented and growing at this young age" she deliberately feeds him with all the information.

Oh god!!!  My madhu!!! She didn't aborted the child.  I have a baby girl. Ohh god!!!

Tears were flowing from his eyes.

"Chief you okay??? " she asks him getting that he is getting emotional.

Thats when he realised he is crying.

"Yeah am fine.  Its just that when I focus on something hard my eyes water" he tries to cover up.

Rk stop being a fucking fool.  First confirm!!!  Don't give yourself false hopes. He chides himself

"Can I know some details about Miss Madhubala??"

"I am sorry Chief. But I can't disclose the information. Besides I don't want to mix my personal life and professional life once again" she says trying not to give up.

"Its okay Miss Somani"

Suddenly then Ria's cell ring.

It displays Madhu with a photo of madhu holding amy in her arms.

RKs heart skips a beat seeing her two gems.

He found them.

He won't let her go.

He lived once again.

His heart came alive once again.

"You are hired Miss Somani" he manages to say with a chocked throat and watery eyes.
