LOVE vs HATRED Book 2

Chapter 54

RK embraced her in his arms, he kissed her shoulder, her neck then her lips, tasting the salt of her tears... "Don't cry Madhu...that's the last thing I can see"

She looked in his eyes... "it's not easy to forget RK, but I am trying. I know you're trying to pull me out of what all happened"

RK wiped the last tear from her eyes and kissed her forehead "do you believe me Madhu?"

She couldn't comprehend what he meant, of course she did believe him "yes, why do you ask?"

"then don't cry. I will kill that bastard who touched you" RK clenched his teeth irately

Madhu knew if RK was saying this he would certainly kill him, but this wouldn't be the solution to her pain, she would never want RK to become a murderer "no, you've to promise me you'll not do anything like that. Please RK"

RK already planned the day of Aditya's murder "Madhu, you don't worry"

Madhu was now scared, she knew RK very well "I swear if you do something like that, I will not talk to you"

RK frowned unbelievably "what? Madhu are you out of your mind?" he held her tightly in his arms "you can't say that. you know I can't live without you"

Madhu thought something "RK, I can go through this situation, but I cannot tolerate you doing any kind of crime in your life. So, promise me"

RK looked at Madhu, she was his life and how could he stay away from her "ok, I promise I won't do anything"

Madhu was relaxed but she knew she needs to hide her pain. Cause RK can read her face easily and he wouldn't tolerate her in pain "Let's eat something. I am very hungry"

RK smiled, at least Madhu was trying to forget and moving on... "wait I will get something"

the moment he left the room, she thought over again...It was not easy to forget what transpired with her. But she must try, for RK.

"ok, your favourite food" he kept the huge plates on the nearest table "come..."

she held his warm hands "RK, I love you" she embraced him tightly and he responded the same...

she never knew when the towel slipped off her body and she was naked "wear something Madhu"

she pulled away and walked towards her wardrobe pulling a long dress... RK hugged her from behind when his eyes fell on her neck. He gritted his teeth angrily looking at the fingerprints around her neck. he released her and walked away "I will be back" he said

Madhu couldn't figure out why RK would react like this.... but then she assumed something important must have clicked in his mind...

RK stood holding the rail near the balcony of the small cottage, imagining how Aditya seized Madhu and where all he touched her. The more he thought, the livider he got. This was something very natural of RK, because of his possessiveness he couldn't take the whole thing even for a second. He knew Madhu was completely acquitted and she went through this pain. He took out his mobile and dialled a number "you know what to do, right?"

"RK" Madhu called him from behind...

He didn't turn to look at her "hmm..."

"I don't know what you're thinking but can I ask you something?" She stood behind not looking at him...

"yes..." he said while searching something on his phone...

"do you still accept me?" she asked taking a long breathe

He immediately turned to look at her, this question was even out of his mind... "why do you say that?" he cupped her face in between his hands...

She tried pulling away "listen RK, I know nothing happened. I wasn't raped...but Aditya tried to ..."

RK closed his fist in anger...

"don't be angry RK. Just listen to me...please. Its not easy for me, your touch is soothing, but I need time to get over this incident. I was almost raped..." she wiped the tears off her eyes while RK gazed at her... "but I have gone through this... and I really hope you'll understand this very well."

"what do you want Madhu?" RK frowned at her, the way she was behaving was something he failed to recognize

"I want to go from here. Far from everybody" she said softly... looking at him this time.

RK stepped back a little... "no, you can't do this"

"RK, if you love me. You have to understand me..." she said and walked inside.

RK was totally confused as if she had asked him to give away his life. He wouldn't even think of living without her and how could she ask for this...when she knows this well enough that he can't even breathe without her...

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

After some time in the evening

RK looked at Madhu who was quietly finishing her soup "I won't agree to your suggestion, rather I would prefer dying. And you know I can't live without you"

Madhu looked at him with moist eyes, though she does understand this, and it was equally difficult for her "RK..."

"before you utter your nonsense again, I am making it very clear Madhu. I will kill that Aditya if you go away from my life"

Shocking Madhu watched him leaving out of the room...

"how should I make you understand this RK..." she whispered to herself with tears in her eyes.

This was a difficult situation for both, but she wasn't comfortable. She walked slowly towards the bedroom. Making a little move, she picked up the book to read thinking if doing something could get the dirty past incident out of her brain for some time... but it wasn't easy. The marks on her arms reminded her again and again of the cruel incident. How brutally Aditya climbed on her and tried to .... She threw the book away.

"you aren't sleeping" RK came in...

She pretended to be normal... "I was about to."

RK came closer to her, she needed him to pull her out of the past "Madhu..."

She hugged him tightly "RK, I can't get over this whole incident...what should I do. When you touch me, I feel the pain?"

RK wiped her tears and looked at her "I thought I lot, and I have decided something which is good for you"

She looked at him... "what is that?"
