Madhubala Malik walk down from stairs all decked up with heavy jewelries... wearing red nd cream color wedding lehnga... the crowd in living area captivated by her beauty... everyone busy in praising her... media people flashing their camera clicking as numerous pics as they can nd why not it's the grand wedding ceremony of mumbai's top Bussiness tycoon Shamsher Malik's daughter...

She came into mandap her younger sister dipali nd some of her friends helped her to settle in sit with that heavy dress... she turn to left looking at her groom who is none another mumbai's second leading business tycoon Sameer Singhania...son of Meera singhania...

Sameer smile luking at her nd she reciprocated but her smile was not as same the one which a bride have on her wedding day... behind this smile so many tears hidden perfectly...

Where at one side pheras going on very other side their parent's busy in giving interviews about their future business planning... coz for them it was not a marriage moreover it was a business of merging both of their companies to rule over the city...

Marriage completed as priest announce them to be wedded couple... at bidaai time madhu cried her heart out... dipali too cried hugging her... then madhu came to her parents...she hugged padmini her mother, in return she just got a little pat on her back as padmini is busy to take care of her looks... she dried her almost invisible tears posing for cameras... for padmini her reputation nd luks are important than her daughter's bidaai... with a heavy heart madhu left her home recollecting her sweet nd sour memories of the days which she spent here with her family... inwardly prayed to god that "I wish I wouldn't come back here again in future..."

After all rituals madhu was taken into bedroom... she luk around taking it all... but she found nothing new it's all same like her... a huge room having king sized bed with all luxurious facilities... she sighed taking a deep breath nd sat on bed's edge... she luked around finding a clock to know the time nd there she caught it...it's 12 at night...

Sameer didn't shown up till 2 o'clock so finally madhu decided to change nd sleep as she was hell tired coz of this wedding...

Madhu's eyes slowly flickered adjusting to morning light... she yawned stretching her hands then came to sense where she is... the bitter reality hit her head nd she composed herself luking at otherside she found bed empty sighing happily... she stood up then saw sameer lying near door on the floor in his wedding attire.. she tip toed near him nd bent little just then her nostrils hit with awful smell of alcohol she quickly backed away covering her nose...

Madhu didn't bother to wake up him nd made her way to washroom... she came out after having a quick shower wearing a pink yellow color anarkali... she happily dried her hair nd quickly comb it letting her wavy brown curls open...

Meera Singhania her mother in law greeted madhu as she walk down with a small bag in her hand... Meera questioned her..."u going somewhere madhu??"  "yes going home for pag phera rasam..."  "but where is sameer he is suppose to take u??"  "he is still sleeping tired from last night..."  Madhu spoke with all fake shy she can... meera seems trap in her talk agreed happily nd allowed madhu to go home alone saying she will send sameer at evening to pick up her back...

Madhu drive with joy passing thru highways making her way out of city... she pull on break as she reached her destination... it's an isolated garden area located at outskirts of city... she came out from car nd took a step in hurry almost running... her footsteps came to halt as she saw him standing near a small pond... his back is before her very next moment she hugged him from back with all her love nd the man too clutched her hand feeling her presence saying "happy independence day love..."

 Madhu giggle at his statement backing away a little so that man can turn around...madhu spoke "I miss u Rish!!"  "miss u too love..." Saying so he pulled her in tight hug kissing her on sideways... a tear roll down from madhu's eyes as she felt him so near after so long it's been a month when they last met...  rishab heard her silent cry instantly backing away luked at her then slowly dried her tears asking "is everything ok??" madhu just nodded her head in yes... but rishab still feeling something is wrong so asked her reason "then why u crying??" this time madhu luked into her eyes replying "this all is not easy for me rish... I m dying with each passing second... I can't live without u please take me away from this all...Please!!"

She pleaded sobbing which stabs Rishab's heart for one sec he wanted to fulfill her wish but very next sec his mind hit with fact he can't do this nd risk their lives... he will fullfil her all wishes but things need to move on slowly...

Rishab hugged her again soothing her pain he said "I know madhu it's not easy in fact we both were knowing this before nd already talked about this... now game is on so we can't back away... don't cry I m with in ur every heartbeat... from now I will never allow a tear to brim in ur eyes nd if so happen I will erase the reason behind it from this earth..."

Staying in each other's embrace for some moments both felt relax... madhu's heart desire to be like this for forever in his arms but she knows it's not possible for now then other side she knew one day it will be possible she smile at this mere thought... Rishab backed away little taking her hand in his they walked a little then sat on green meadow near pond... it's the place where they always met nd spend so many hours together with each other...madhu sat between his legs resting her back on his chest rishab too hugged her placing both his hands on her tummy...

They sat like this for half an hour no one speaking anything as if their racing heart beats are busy in talking... devouring each other's love in this so close proximity enjoying a beautiful sun rise view above the pond...

Rishab tugged her more in him asking "so how was the wedding??" madhu replied with anger "don't ask about it... it was not a wedding rish it was a business deal..."  "nd wat about sameer did he??" Rishab left the sentence hanging so madhu completed him "no he didn't do anything... don't know when he came back home all drunk nd slept on the floor only..." rishab chuckled saying "all went as per plan..."

Madhu turn her face little asking "what was the planning in it??" rishab face grin with amuse as he answered her query "to made him drink so much that he never got chance to come near u..." madhu's face lit up with big smile as she came to know how her rish planned everything perfectly...

Rishab luked at her smile then bit her ear lobe in return hearing a moan from her "rishh!!"  "what love..." she pouted saying "I miss u soo much rish" Rishab whisper in her ears sexily "I miss u too love..." he started to make circles on her stomach nd nuzzling her neck...

Madhu begin to melt in his touch she was carving for it from so long... rishab suck so hard on her nape which made madhu to moan his name again... Rishab called her name making her look back a little as they came face to face their lips just mere inches apart... madhu raise her brows in question nd Rishab shook his head with a naughty smile... very next moment he glued his lips on her... madhu firstly flinch with his sudden action but pouring herself into this sweet kiss she turn more so can get a proper kiss... rishab drown her into deep nd passionate kiss...

Both parted due to lack of breath... madhu again rested her head back on his chest breathing heavily... rishab place his face on his shoulder blade tugging her hair on other side so can view her milky white skin... madhu asked him "did u told everything to ur mom??"  "no not yet but will tell her soon..." madhu nodded in agreement then continues "rish what u think will ur mom accept this all... she will not get angry on us??" rishab kissed her on cheek from side then spoke "no she wouldn't I know my mom she will understand us nd will stood by us u don't worry love..." madhu got happy hearing those words she trusted him with whole heart...

Whole day passed out like this at evening madhu started to go back as her cell was ringing again nd again with id "sameer" but she didn't bother to pick up it... Rishab hugged him one last time then gave her quick kiss on her lips... "take care love if anything went wrong do inform me..." rishab said with concern madhu smiled at his gesture then spoke "I will take care... u don't worry rish I m confident now... it's time for next step to make them restless nd suspicious..." Rishab smirked witnessing this all new confident side of his love... madhu bid gud bye to him then zoomed away from there...

Madhu stood outside entrance of Malik mansion not wanting to go inside... but coz of her morning lie she hv to go... she entered inside sameer was already waiting for her along with her parents... looking at madhu all three bombarded questions on her asking where was she?? Why not picking up their call??... madhu handle the situation smartly lying to them... knitting story how her car broke down near highway nd she couldn't find lift etc etc... sameer nd her parents believed her also...

After dinner both madhu nd sameer left for singhania mansion...while driving back sameer got a call from id "RK" madhu smiled inwardly... sameer drop her at mansion saying he has an important meeting nd will come late tonight... madhu agreed happily feeling proud on her love how rish is handling everything perfectly...

Meera saw madhu coming back alone so asked her reason nd madhu replied same what sameer had told her... after changing madhu contentedly fall on bed tired nd soon drift into deep slumber...

Next morning when she woke up again found other side empty nd luked around in room to know where drunken sameer is lying but to her surprise he was found nowhere in room... madhu freshen up quickly walking down to have breakfast then there she found him lying on sofa in living area...on that day madhu made a new excuse to go out before meera to meet rishab...

Days started to pass frequently madhu daily making new excuses to go out making meera restless nd suspicious... while all this sameer was always deck up with business work not getting a chance to know what all going on behind his back... meera tried to inform about this to sameer but never got a proper opportunity... as sameer daily come late at night drunken nd next day morning when he came to sense he have another business meeting to attain...

One day when madhu was going out to meet rishab meera stopped her but madhu didn't listened her arguing back with her... madhu behaved as rudely as she can with meera making her blood boil so meera can take some strict action on her... when madhu left home meera called someone instructing to follow madhu nd give her proper report...

At evening meera got a call back from that person the news which she heard made her numb... very next moment madhu walk back home but meera composed herself didn't said a word to madhu... which made madhu edgy...

At same night sameer came home all drunk as always but tonight meera was awake... she throwed a glass of water on sameer's face making him to gain some consciousness... she offered lemonade to sameer so can be in his sense when she will tell the truth... after a while sameer was little bit well from his drunken state then meera started narrating everything whatever that man told her about madhu... sameer's eyes filled with rage... meera made him calm down saying not to be violent at this moment nd ask about this thing to madhu in morning...

Next morning when mdhu woke up saw sameer standing beside her in his complete sober form which scared madhu little bit... sameer started asking her "who is he??" madhu pretend her best making her expression confused one she asked him back "who??"  "don't try to pretend madhu I knw everything... whatever u doing behind my back now I m aware of it all..."

Madhu still with her expression questioning again "what m I doing behind ur back?? There is nothing like that..." this time sameer shouted in anger "don't u lie to me... I know u r having an extramarital affair!!" madhu didn't responded back for a moment as she got scare with his raising voice... she was knowing one day she hv to face this also but in reality it seems more dangerous...

But her heart give strength to her she knows nothing will happen to her until rishab is with  her so she spat back at sameer saying "so what if I do have an affair... it's nothing new nd I thought u r knowing about it since our marriage days... didn't ur mother told u anything??" her statement made sameer perplexed he raise his borrows coming close to her asked "about what???" "about my love life... that I love someone else not u..."

Sameer's blood boiled in anger knowing this truth her mother was knowing everything from before but never bother to tell him... he fisted his hand then very next moment clutched madhu's throat roaring in anger "whoever ur love is I don't care... as the fact is u r my wife... nd I hv my own reputation so just dnt try to mess up with it... forget him nd leave him..."

Madhu replied back furiously with all confident "I will not do so... I love him nd he too... nd we both know this marriage is not really a marriage it's a business deal... about ur reputation I don't give a shit..."

Her last word made sameer  to lost his temper nd nxt sec room echoed with a slapping sound... sameer clutch her face fiercely making her look at him then spoke "don't u dare to say those words again... about ur so called love I will made every possibility that u will not get a single chance to meet him again... from now u will be at home 24/7... no going out..." sameer jerked her face brutally nd left from room banging door behind...

A tear roll down from madhu's eyes as her cheek sting with pain of slap... she hugged herself folding her knees with her hands... sameer's words echoed in her mind she was trembling badly as her sobs getting louder with each passing sec... she needed him... she needed rishab by her side...

At early noon rishab walked in Singhania mansion wearing office suit... meera saw him nd greeted him asking why he is here at office hour... rishab lied to him saying he came to take an important file which sameer sir had left in his room... meera called out for servants but no one shown up... rishab took this opportunity nd said he will go by himself to look for file...

Entering into room rishab froze at the sight before him... he quickly lock the door rushing near madhu asking "madhu!!! what happen love??" she looked at him with shock but next moment throw herself in his arms crying her heart out...  rishab tried to console her in between asking reason for her such condition...

After crying for some good mins madhu told him everything how brutally sameer behave with her nd slapped her... rishab eyes brim with agony his hand turned into fist making his knuckle go white... he controlled himself not to go nd kill that b*****d... madhu further added that sameer also imprisoned her in mansion how they will meet now...

"love first u stop crying... I m really sorry coz of me u have to suffer..." madhu put her finger on his lips halting him in between saying "u don't have to feel sorry... I can bear all pains to be with u in future... I m just scare thinking I will not able to meet u rish..." rishab hugged her thinking keenly as he can't sit back nd see their plan ruining like this...he have to come up with something...

Sometime later an idea clicked in his mind as he said to himself "now get ready to rot in hell mr. sameer singhania... u hv called ur death by touching my love making her cry..."

He back away little from madhu nd said "u don't worry love from today Sameer's shadow will not touch u..." madhu luked at him confuse but didn't questioned him knowing whatever he is thinking is for her betterment only... Rishab hugged him once more nd kissed on her cheek where sameer had slapped her soothing her pain... madhu felt relax in his touch... after that rishab left from there promising madhu that from now he will come here to meet her daily...

At evening sameer walked in his room in hustle all tense... he immediately took out one of bag from cupboard throwing all his office suits inside packing it...madhu sat on bed perplexed nd scare thinking as what he is upto... when sameer was done he took bag in his hand nd angrily looked into madhu's eyes saying "I m going delhi but don't u dare to cross gate of mansion... I have arranged everything about it also told mom to keep eye on u...nd I know she will do her work whole heartedly... so discard ur so called affair from ur mind..."

Then sameer left from room madhu smiled happily as for no long she have to face him... she thought to call rish but remembered his promise about their meeting so she sat in her room patiently waiting for him...

At midnight madhu heard some noise so she sat on bed quickly turning on lights then she saw him rish coming in room from balcony... madhu run to him happily nd hugged him... rishab too reciprocated with same intensity... they parted little rishab hold her from waist kissing her with so much passion... they enjoyed their long intensifying kiss then parted to breath...

Madhu snuggle into him as both are laying on bed... she asked him "how u did this rish??" rishab pulled her more near him replying "I made his delhi company to lose most of the shares which made him to leave for delhi...it's just starting love... he hurt u now his worse days coming soon...i will make him to beg forgiveness from u"

Madhu patted on his chest saying "calm down rish... we will make their life worst for placing our life in misery like this... now stop talking about this all... concentrate on us... we will be meeting like this daily??"  rishab nodded his head with smirk asking "isn't it is thrilling to meet like this having an affair??" madhu roll her eyes replying "ya very much thrilling..."

Madhu seriously luk at him for some mins which made rishab edgy to know what's running in her mind... "rish make me urs... I don't want to wait anymore living in fear..." rishab was taken back by her statement... he blink twice staring at her with wide eyes... madhu frowned asking "wat?? Cant u make me urs?? Don't u love me... dnt u love to make love with me???" her questions cease as rishab placed his lips on her replying it all... soon their blissful night started with sweet whispers of love nd moans...

At 4 am madhu's eyes flicker waking up... sight before delighted her... rishab is sleeping a sweet smile captured at his lips his hair all ruffled his chiseled naked chest almost visible to her... soon madhu's mind flooded with their passionate make out... madhu sat back tugging blanket covering herself...

Her mind travel back to past days thinking how their life change totally in two months... one day when she came back home after meeting to radha rishab's mother for first time... she was really happy as radha really liked her son's choice but soon madhu's happiness faded when padmini barged in her room asking her whereabouts... madhu was knowing one day she have to face this... she told everything to padmini about her 5 year old relationship with Rishab... how much they love each other... nd she want to marry rishab only... but in all this for padmini most important thing was rishab's family bg as he is from middle class family... today when madhu gone to his house in chawl padmini's one of frnd saw her nd complain about madhu...

Padmini shouted on madhu scolding how she can love such low standard boy... they have a reputation in society nd she will never accept their relation so better to forget about Rishab... but madhu was adamant at her decision she tried to convince her mother which ended with padmini slapping madhu taking her cell she locked madhu in her room her outgoings where came to halt...

Madhu cried for so many days always trying to convince her parents but failed... otherside rishab was restless not having any news about madhu... he asked about her to all near friends but got nothing to know... then his mind click with dipali... he went dipali's colg nd there he got most shocking news of his life... that madhu has been captured in her own house her parents not liking rishab coz of his middle class status...

That night only rishab went to meet madhu at malik mansion... he climbed up madhu's room balcony as per dipali's instruction nd found madhu lifeless sitting on bed looking pale nd sad... next moment madhu saw him she rushed to him hugging her nd crying... rishab consoled her they stayed with each other for sometime then madhu told him everything how her parent's tortured her beat her, they are also fixing her marriage with sameer singhania for their benefit... how she tried to talk to sameer to seek help from him so he would call off this marriage but sameer never bother about this marriage thing a bit...

madhu talked to meera also revealing everything before her expecting meera will understand her but to her bad luck meera didn't do this she wanted this marriage for his son sake coz he is totally spoiled brat nd drunken person... meera thought if madhu will marry to him he will change so she also didn't helped madhu...

She was almost in tears after completing then slowly mumble "rish please take me from here... we will run away nd make our new world somewhere else living happily..." rishab look into her brown teary eyes for once he wanted to fulfill her wish but he was knowing if they will run away they will be caught coz madhu's parents hold such power... they might end up hurting both madhu nd him for sake of their so called reputation also he has his mother to whom he can't leave like this...

Rishab spoke "we will not run away love... our love is not so cheap like them so we have to run away from them like this... I know they don't like me coz of bg status nd hurted u so much tortured u like this for their selfishness... Today I promise u madhu I will made them pay back for ur each tear..."

After that rishab planned everything to their luck rishab have recently got high post job in singhania company only... he told madhu to say yes for this marriage nd try to be normal around her parents winning back their trust... they will took their revenge slowly... madhu trusted him nd got ready for this marriage... after that all went as per their plan... rishab was slowly taking sameer's company down by shaking hand with rivalry company of him...

In early morning rishab left from there... days started to pass every night rishab came to meet madhu nd they spend time with each other... rishab also took care of sameer not giving him a chance to cme back Mumbai... he had sold most of sameer's companies share... sameer have trusted rishab blindly as he never came to know that he is same man with whom his wife is having an extra marital affair...

Meera was suspicious again noticing madhu's happiness she was unable to make out what is going on  but she was knowing something is wrong... she tried to know the things from madhu but got to know nothing... otherside in Delhi sameer was all depressed as other company took over his delhi company... he drowned himself in alcohol not living his life...

As days passed sameer's  Mumbai company also suffered from big losses taking back malik's company along with it... madhu nd rishab was happily celebrating their victory each nd every night... then finally that day came when shamsher nd padmini barged in singhania mansion as meera informd them madhu is pregnant but she is not carrying sameer's child...

Shamsher, padmini, meera all were firing questions on madhu as she stood smiling at their vulnerable state... sameer is laying on sofa in his drunken state lifeless... after some moments rishab walked in there... everyone look at him suspiciously as meera asked him "why r u here??"  rishab replied with smirk "came to inform you all that both of ur companies r faded away in thin air... other company took over it..." saying so he made his way near madhu tugging her from waist he give a quick peck on her lips madhu blush nd all other's eyes popped out witnessing this...

Rishab  asked madhu "hows our baby love??" madhu replied with shy "good!!" shamsher came forward roaring in anger "what the hell is going on here??" rishab replied smoothly "what?? Till now u all didn't got it?? I m father of  this child... the same middle class guy to whom u rejected for ur daughter without caring to know about him, at least u had given him  a chance to prove his ability..."

Shamsher's blood boiled on revelation his hand fired in air to slap madhu but this time rishab hold it jerking his hand back shouted "today history will not repeat again Mr. Malik... u have no right over madhu any more... she is mine... so don't u dare to touch her also!!!"

Meera came forward spating back "she is my DIL nd I do have a right on her..." "mummyji oopss sorry Mrs. Singhania u r wrong here... I m no more ur DIL.." madhu chuckled saying so then she walked some distance taking papers from table she walk back near rishab nd offered papers to meera speaking "here u will understand it by yourself..." its divorce papers of madhu nd sameer...

Rishab had already got sign papers from sameer without his knowledge... meera turn around staring at sameer with disbelief asking "u divorced her??" he is little bit conscious nd get up from sofa coming near to meera... snatching papers from her hand he luked at it with wide eye... then shouted "I never signed such papers..."

Madhu's face grin with smile luking at rishab then rishab spoke "sameer u did signed it but... in ur drunken state... nd fact is ur wife is no more ur wife now she is mine..." he kiss on her cheek... this time padmini came forward pulling madhu at her side with force said "whatever u both had done it doesn't matter to us... I will not allow u both to ruin our status in society... u lead us down madhu..."

Madhu laugh out loud in fake saying "oh really mom I lead u down??? Seriously?? Just shame on u... tell me one thing do u ever consider me as ur daughter??" padmini just stare at her with disgust expression not replying... "no di she never!!!" a voice came from doorways gaining everyone's attention... its dipali she walk inside coming where madhu nd padmini stand facing each other...

Madhu said with harsh tone "ya  they never treated us like daughters... for them we are dolls to whom they bought in their home placed inside for showoff then one day sold to some other one where we will be again treated like that... we don't have a right to live... to take our own life's decision... just coz of ur damn filthy reputation in society i have to kill my dreams!!!"

Rishab came near madhu patting her back he spoke "just calm down love its not good for ur health to take such stress... I will handle them..."  "u will handle us.. a low standard man living in chawl..." shamsher quarrel back with rishab but this time dipali answered him "so what dad if he comes from middle class family... he have a big heart which loves madhu in reality not like u both fakely... I remember those days when u tortured her, locked up her in room... u beat her shouted on her forced her for this marriage... I feel disgusted to say that u both r our parents!!" she turn her face aside...

For a brief moment no one spoke anything hearing such words from dipali's mouth padmini nd shamsher's head dipped down... then came police inspector... as rishab had already filed complain against them... dipali also helped him giving her statement about her parents whatever they did to madhu... everyone of them padmini, shamsher, meera and sameer got arrested in case of harassment nd forcing madhu for marriage...

Once they left a tear roll down from madhu's eyes as she hugged Rishab from sideways... dipali is also in tears... one side they both were feeling sad for their parents condition but can't forget those dreadful days of their life nd forgive them so easily...

Next day madhu nd rishab got married... also rishab got a good position in same company to whom he was helping giving information about sameer's nd malik's company...rishab bought a new bungalow nd shifted there along with radha nd dipali...

Some Months later...

Rishab is pacing back nd forth in corridor outside delivery room... radha is also there sitting on one of the bench... dipali is silently praying to god gripping her both hands saying "god please it should be boy... please!! Please!!" rishab hear her plea nd came forward saying with smirk "a girl madhu will deliver a baby girl got it..." dipali asked him back "and how do u know this jiju??"  "coz that's my baby..."  "ohh!! In that case u forgetting it's madhu di's baby also nd she want a baby boy nd I m at her side..." saying so dipali showed tongue to rishab in reply he rolled his eyes saying "will see!!!"

Everyone heard cry of baby as rishab's face lighten with joy... after some moments doc came out announcing "congratulations Mr. Kundra u have been blessed with a baby girl!!!" rishab is tongue tied his happiness is on cloud nine he didn't waited to thanks doc nd directly asked him  "can I see them..." doc just nodded his head nd very next sec he ran inside...

Sight before rishab mesmerized him... madhu is sitting on bed holding their angel in her hand... he walk near them seeing her angel's cute face his eyes brim with tears of happiness... madhu grin luking at him nd rishab bent little kissing on her forehead said "thank you love!!!"

Radha nd dipali also came inside... both of them congratulated rishbala... "see I was right its baby girl..." rishab announce with smirk luking at dipali's side nd she just rolled her eyes with smile... dipali came to other side of madhu nd asked "so u have decided any name for our cute angel??" madhu shook her head in no nd rishab also stood  with no reply... so dipali continued "ok fine I have one in my mind... we will name her Rima... initials of both of ur names... hows it??"

Madhu smile in agreement as rishab took his angel securely in his embrace his heart heavy with lots of emotions he spoke "yeah Rima... our Rima symbol of our love!!" then he sat beside madhu tugging her... she turn luking at rishab then said "we did it rishab... we are together today our family is completed nd it's all because of u..."  "nope u r wrong madhu its not coz of me... its due to our extramarital affair..." rishab replied back naughtily making each of them laugh...
