Heart Lives Again 

"Madhu I would Like to Marry You " He whispers happily

Madhu nods acknowledging with a small smile not either sad or happy with a neutral feeling.

"But – "

The next words of his makes Madhu shocked as her eyes turns furious "Get Out !" She snaps angrily .

"Madhu – Think twice –you know – I can –"

"Shut up just shut up ! You can But I cannot leave – Out of My Sight !—Leave !" She snaps furiously

"Madhu – I can get anyone – But who will marry a woman like you ?"He spats at her venomously.

"Leave !"

Clenching his fist with bloodshot red angry eyes He leaves the place . Madhu who had been acting all brave falls on her knees as the floodgates open as she weeps loudly .

Small tiny palms goes around her neck hugging her from behind "Mama" , Madhu wipes her tears quickly as She puts up a smile before cradling her baby in her arms .

"Mama Ywo (You) Crwing (Crying) ? ",

Madhu chuckles hearing her babyish voice "No Mama No Crying Okay?" ,

The Baby nods and pouts holding Madhu's bosom over the clothing circling around it , Madhu smiles ,

"My Baby is Hungry?"

The Baby pouts as she says "Bawy (Baby) Hwungry (hungry) ",

Madhu stands up with her baby in her arms and walks towards the bed , Sitting comfortably She chuckles seeing how eager her baby is with the way her little puny palms is trying to pull the strap of the clothing down .

Shaking her head Madhu pulls the zipper near the neckline down to Feed her baby . Madhu smiles seeing the way her baby was holding her bosom while sucking onto her milk .

"Kriti " , Madhu whispers caressing her little hairs while kissing her forehead . Seeing her baby girl fallen asleep while Feeding onto her milk . Madhu gently removes her little palms from her bosom and tucks her to the bed .

Her Baby Girl , Kritika , was three years old by now yet the habit of Feeding onto her milk had not vanished , Her baby girl was the most precious little bundle of joy Madhu ever was bestowed upon in her life . Madhu had been unlucky since the day She was born , Madhu was cursed as the girl who took away or rather killed her mother on the day she was born . Madhu's Father had pushed Madhu away from him unable to grieve with the loss of his wife , It was her Daadi , Her Father's mother who had loved Madhu and brought her up , Madhu throughout her life had craved her Father's affection but instead Each time She was sighted with his hatred and cruel words which stabbed her heart .

The yearning to gain her Father's Love Madhu had given her consent to the Man who her Father had brought as her prospective Groom but Little Did She know She had been subjected to a deal between her Father and Her supposed Husband . Her Father had sold her in return for a lump sum whereas her Husband had lusted her since the day he had set his eyes on her . Madhu accepted her cruel fate in the hope that One day the beastly man would turn up to be the best husband but every little thing came crashing down the day they found out that She was pregnant with a Girl child . Her husband had forced her to abort but For once Madhu stood up for herself divorcing her husband but on returning back home She had found out that Her Ex-husband had beaten up her Father asking for the Money back , Unable to bear the beatings Her Father had taken the last breathe even before She arrived . She hadn't cried – at least a Lone tear for Her father because her heart was filled with hatred for The Man . Her Loss was increased when Madhu had got to know on the very same day Her husband died on the same on a road accident while returning to his home.

Holding onto Her Stomach where her little girl lived Madhu took up the responsibility on her head and Decided to get away from her Fate and The new place She decided was "Delhi", Her Daadi had been generous enough to move in with Madhu . Four years it had been She came to Delhi , working as a Personal Secretary to Sultan Singh Kundra her life had been good with the salary she was entitled with, She could provide a comfortable secure life for Her baby girl but The Only thing She could not give her girl was 'Father's Love' , As much as Madhu tried to be the mother and Father – It could not match to the Love a child would get from her father – Madhu herself had been through the pain . Deciding to give her Daughter a Father Madhu had given a nod to her Daadi who had forced her to remarry .

The First Groom who had taken a likeness had been Ahbay Kapoor , today morning had been the First meet which had turned horrendous to Madhu . Madhu shuts her eyes closed remembering Abhay's words .

"Madhu I would Like to Marry You "He whispers happily

Madhu's nods acknowledging with a small smile not either sad or happy with a neutral feeling.

"But – I need Only You I mean not Your daughter – Leave her here – I cannot be a Father to someone else's sperm"

The next words of his makes Madhu shocked as her eyes turns furious "Get Out !" She snaps angrily .

"Madhu – Think twice –you know – I can give you a child rather a beautiful one than –"

"Shut up just shut up ! You can But I cannot leave – Out of My Sight !—Leave !" She shrieks furiously

"Madhu – I can get anyone – But who will marry a woman like you – Non Will marry a woman with a child –that too accepting the kid is out of question" He spats at her venomously.

"Leave !"

Madhu hugs her baby close to her chest and cries rocking her . her baby girl whimpers a little while pouting in her sleep while snuggling closer to Madhu's chest . Kissing on her hairs Madhu rests her head over her baby's "You don't need anyone Kriti – I will be your Father and Mother Okay? " ,

***

"I Like You" The Girl whispers shyly looking everywhere but at him .

He Looks hesitant but with a small smile which was neither sad nor happy nods acknowledging her ,

"Ria –I—" He Fumbles taking a deep breath He says what he is suppose to say .

"Ria Listen – we can talk " Rishab holds her hand hurriedly seeing her pacing fast towards the hall .

"Hands Off " She spats at him

Rishab leaves her hand instantly and sighs seeing her walking towards the hall .

"I Like Rishab – We can Fix their engagement If the children too like – " ,

Ria cuts off her Father Furiously " I am not gonna marry a man who cannot Father a child !" ,

Rishab shuts his eyes hurt stopping on his steps hearing Ria's disgust in the tone and Looking at His Daadi's and Mother's Face falling painfully Rishab clenches his fist for giving them pain too . He never wanted to come see the bride knowing he was a defected Human but His Daadi and Mom had forced him too . As much as his Mom had told him not to – Rishab could not keep his to be bride in dark , If She is too accept him it had to because She liked him with his Flaws but who is he kidding no woman would like to marry a man like him who cannot give happiness and the completeness of being a woman .

***

Standing at the end of the shore Rishab sits on the sand looking to his left and right – Family with kids playing in the beach – The Happiness and Serene smile on the Father's Face seeing his kid ecstatic or while the kid kisses him . he needed it like air . The Fact He wanted a child had grown over the years since the time Anaya came into their lives , Anaya was the one who made him happy with her gestures , Anaya was close to Rishab more than to her parents who are apparently his elder brother Sultan and Dipali babhi's but at the end of the day Anaya was not his rather theirs it hurt him .

Rishab had been in a live-in-relationship with Sanya during his stay in USA, Sanya and Rishab gotten along as they went to Harvard University . Moving in together with Sanya had been peaceful , Rishab wasn't sure whether he loved Sanya but He knew He had admired and being affectionate towards her but His happiness had been short lived as One day while driving back home in their car they had met with a brutal accident which had killed Sanya and left him defected .

"Kriti " , Rishab 's thoughts halt as he throws a pebble to the waves hearing the melodic sweet tone .

Rishab 's lips curve seeing the little bundle of joy running giggling to herself leaving her mother chase behind her .

"Kriti baby Stop !" , Rishab smiles seeing the little bundle jumping on her toes and poking her tongue out at her mother and running faster than before balancing her little feet in the sand without slipping .

As a on Cue Rishab finds himself instantly attached to the little bundle as his Feet directs to the Baby girl . Before her Mother could get hold off Rishab catches the little bundle cradling her in his arms as He throws the little one up in the air before catching her in his arms . The baby girl giggling loudly slapping his cheeks with her soft puny palms .

"It's my baby " , Rishab hears the soft voice telling him nervously , Turning to his right He finds a familiar face ,

"Madhu?" Rishab calls out to her shocked

"Sir – The baby is mine !" Madhu says softly trying to get hold off the baby

"You are married ?" Rishab asks shocked , Rishab knew Madhu well -,He had spoken to her more than two to three meets but never had he thought that she was married and having a child . Madhu was young and was around 22 or 23 – She having a Kid that to around 2 or 3 years comes as a surprise for Rishab .

Madhu nods nervously , Except Sultan no one had known she was married , Madhu knew that if her colleagues got to know that they would question her about her husband then proceeding to say that her husband is no more and getting pitiful glances – She hated it, Sympathy , so she kept it unknown to anyone's knowledge .

"What's your Husband's name Madhu?" Rishab asks squinting his brows while holding the baby close to him who had now rested her head on his shoulder and locked her arms around his neck and fallen asleep within minutes .

Madhu despised him and his name – His name carried nightmares which depressed her mentally and physically through her 6 month long marriage and out of her marriage days . It was Kritika - Her baby girl – Brought Her back the light in her life .

"Sir --- I need to leave – The sun is already set " Madhu says hopefully trying to escape him .

"Madhu I asked you something!" Rishab says sternly

"He is no more happy – Give my child back !" Madhu says angrily trying to pull her baby back but instead is surprised to Find Kriti whimpering and tightening her hold around Rishab .

Rishab Feels his heart fluttering its wings seeing the little bundle tightening her hold around him . With Anaya , as much She was with Rishab once her eyes falls on her parents she would run to them leaving him behind but this Little bundle is holding onto him despite he being a stranger .

"Madhu –I'll drop you home " , Rishab offers hopefully wanting to hold the little girl few more minutes in his arms .

Madhu was shocked and surprised to find him not pitying or sympathizing her instead changing the topic . many who had known her situation had rather pitied her and her kid and passed comments which indirectly said her child was a 'Curse' , But He had been different and seeing her baby girl snuggling more into him with a small smile Madhu could not help but think how good of Father he would be the day He becomes a father .

Walking towards Rishab 's car in silence , they stop near the car . Rishab who did not want to leave the little girl away from him asks Madhu biting his inner cheeks with a smile "Do you know to Drive?"

"Ahh" Madhu asks shocked and surprised Doesn't He know to Drive?

"Madhu – I am asking you something " , Rishab says sternly seeing her zoning out while kissing the little one's cheeks lovingly

"Ahh—Yes—I –know –but –Sir –Why?",

"I –Just need too – " Rishab pauses not knowing how to put into words – Letting out a sigh he says "Hold The Little Bundle a Little Longer ",

Madhu finds her heart swelling in pride hearing him , Non held her baby girl in their arms for more than Few minutes except her Daadi of course knowing that Her Father died before She was born . They had orthodox thinking but The Man in front of her – Sighing with a smile Madhu nods .

"Madhu " He calls out to her embarrassed

Madhu bites her lower lip trying to stop herself from chuckling hearing his embarrassed tone – It sounded Funny .

"Why?" She asks softly

"My Key—It –is –in the right—side –of –the pant –pocket "He stutters

"So?" Madhu asks confused

"You need to take ---as –I am holding –her –in my both –hands ",

Madhu Finds it awkward How can She? But Seeing the way he was cradling her baby in his both arms as if securing from the chilling breeze .She nods nervously.

Madhu finds her breath getting ragged as She takes tentative steps towards him . The closeness kills her in a way that she had never felt before . She lowers her eyelashes looking down at his pant pocket. Sliding her hand into the pocket she Finds herself sucking in her breath . Rishab Finds himself stiffening feeling her hand on his pocket . The soft caress of hers over the clothing makes him hold onto his breath as He lowers his lashes to look down at her to Find her flushed as She pulls out the keys hurriedly .

She raises her lashes up feeling hid heated gaze to lock into his orbs – The world stops revolving as their eyes held so many unknown emotions floating around in the sea – The small giggle breaks their reverie to Find the baby girl sleepily yawning while giggling to herself .

Rishab chuckles lightly and pecks her chubby cheeks making her giggle loudly . Madhu smiles seeing their bonding and tries to take a step back but stops Feeling herself pushed into his arms .

Rishab wounds his one arm around her to stop herself from falling as She had stumble on a stone and lost her footing .

Her chest collides with the left side of his as his arm comes direct contact with her bare waist. She feels the hairs of her neck standing straight feeling his arm around hers. Rishab Leaves her instantly embarrassed and flushed .

Madhu takes a step back but stops seeing her chain entangled in his shirt button . Rishab looks down feeling her fingers around his shirt button shocked and surprised . Seeing her trying to remove the chain Rishab stays frozen letting her do the work at the same time Feeling tingling sensations inside him.

Kritika squeals clapping her hands seeing her Mama trying to pull the chain. Wondering it's a game , Giggling to herself Kritika pulls the chain hardly with her little fingers giggling loudly while drooling . Rishab chuckles , awkwardness gone seeing the antics of the Little Bundle . Rishab too moves his hand to the chain to remove the Little one's palms scared that the golden chain might scratch her palms .

Madhu who had been so lost trying to get the pendant flushes seeing his palm over hers and her little girl's . Madhu raises her head up to see him not even aware what is he doing too focused on getting the chain out of Her Baby girl's palm . She smiles overwhelmed knowing how he cares for his baby girl .

"Madhu", Madhu stops moving her fingers and looks at him

"Let me do" Rishab says softly looking at her orbs as she nods.

Removing her Fingers from his she holds her Saree pallu tightly and looks the other way seeing him removing the shirt button and letting go of her chain .

Madhu chuckles slightly seeing him blushing as She sits on the driver seat whereas he takes the passenger seat with her little girl in his arms .

Kritika balances herself on his thighs standing as She shrieks giggling Feeling Rishab 's stubble pricking her cheeks . Rishab chuckles hoisting her up and down while playing with her . Rishab nuzzles his nose of the little girl's tummy making her giggle loudly due to the tickling session .

Madhu had not taken her eyes off them since she started driving slowly – Stealing glances time to time on them . Madhu's Feels her eyes welling up since their bonding .

The parental joyful laugh of Rishab while her little girl kicks on his tummy and slaps on his cheeks while trying to pull his little beard off .

She runs her fingers around her cheeks cleaning her tears off before Rishab notices .She had not seen her baby girl so much ecstatic that She refused to leave from Rishab 's hold . Rishab had left them home with a dejected look seeing the little bundle rooting loudly throwing her arms towards him to carry.

It had been two hours since Kritika's sobs had reduced and she had fallen asleep. Never had a baby cried so much for a stranger rather than her . Did Kritika get attached to him soon? Madhu wonders caressing her baby's hairs while slipping beside her to sleep.

***

Rishab 's condition was no different . He had been tossing around the bed for hours trying to catch some sleep but He couldn't . When he closes his eyes the curtains of his eyelids shows the Little Bundle's crying face and her arms throwing her arms for him to carry.

"Has She stopped Crying? Did She eat?" Rishab murmurs pulling out the phone to dial but throws the phone back knowing it would be inappropriate to ring up in the midnight.

Seeing the large teddy bear of Anaya Rishab steps towards it – taking it in his hands he slips in the bed hugging the teddy close to him – imagining the teddy as Kritika . He had instantly attached to the Baby girl .

***

Pacing into the Office cubicle Rishab sees through his blinds Madhu working in the laptop with high concentration .

Fighting his thoughts on how to call Madhu to the cabin , Rishab paces too and forth .What will Kritika be doing? Will She be Crying? Did The Little Bundle miss me? A small smile forms on his lips remembering her clinging into him . I miss you Kritika

Rishab takes a deep breath before holding the receiver "Send Ms.Sharma in!",

Trying his best not to freak her or show much his enthusiasm Rishab covers his face with a file so She cannot see him . Hearing the sweet voice asking his permission , Clearing his throat Rishab calls her in .

"Ms.Sharma is Sultan in the Cabin?",

Madhu squints her brows hearing him while Rishab mutters under his breath for asking stupid things !

"Yes" Madhu answers confused

"Okay you may leave !" Rishab wanted to whack his head – ask She is leaving You idiot , His mind chides him .

"Madhu – Is Kritika Fine?—I mean She had been crying when I left So"

Madhu turns on her heels to walk away but stops giving her back to him as a smile plays on her lips hearing him . She had somewhat guessed that Rishab called her in because of Kritika . Early morning her baby girl had woken up only to sob again asking for the beach uncle and had started weeping again.

"Sir She is Fine " Madhu says with a smile turning around to Find Rishab had removed the file from his face .

Rishab 's face falls hearing Madhu , He had expected just like him The Little bundle missed him but no – He was wrong.

Madhu slightly chuckle seeing Rishab 's sulking Face , "But She missed a certain beach Uncle", Saying Madhu walks out not wanting to prolong the conversation . She did not want Rishab and Kritika bond too much but something's are inevitable that Madhu failed to understand as much as her mind objected of not to say Rishab how Kritika missed him she couldn't , it came out in a flow .

Rishab 's lips curve up hearing Madhu . Little bundle missed him. He could not put into words how overwhelmed She makes him feel . Just a day and Rishab Feels himself ecstatic like never before .

That day evening , Rishab sees Madhu struggling with her scooty , Rishab decides to drive off in his car but something behind in his head clicks as he stops front of her.

Madhu hearing the screeching sound of the car Stops struggling and raises her head up with the helmet on .

"Madhu – I'll drop you !" Rishab suggests

Madhu instantly shakes her head , Rishab gazes at her lovingly seeing how cute and adorable she looked with the helmet on . That eyes filled with nervous reminds him the little bundle . That little shiny orbs gazed him and only it took was a moment to fall in love with the little bundle .

"Madhu – You'll Be safe " Rishab had indirectly assured her fears . Madhu smiling nods knowing that She can get back home soon and safe with him . Calling the mechanic to get her Scooty She sits on the passenger seat .

Madhu looks out of the window as they travelled in silence . Rishab who hated silence as it felt as if someone was suffocating him decides to break .

"Madhu"

"Hmm" Madhu hums giving her undivided attention to him .

"What is Kritika's age?"

"Three She will be Four soon in 5 months " Madhu says excited . She had already planned to celebrate her baby girl's birthday .

Rishab chuckles seeing her excitement .

"What does She like?"

"Clay , Crayons and colors "Madhu says with a smile remembering her baby's antics . since the time she had got crayons , her baby's work was to scribble on the art book with different colors or play with clay molding into various distorted shapes and when Madhu would give ahard kiss on her both cheeks appreciating her creativity would make her little girl squeal in excitement .

Rishab 's lips curve up – His passion was art and this new information makes him attach for the little girl instantly .

"Food?"

"My milk " Madhu bites her tongue embarrassed as she looks away . How could I tell him that?

Rishab flushes and turns the steering wheel dropping to other lane as He remembers Madhu's words . Wanting to change the topic Rishab asks concerned "Why Don't You Bring Kritika with You? Who takes care of her when you off to work?"

"Sir – Daadi looks after her " Madhu replies quickly "And about Carrying to work – There is no day care in Kundra industries ",

Rishab thinks thoughtfully planning something and nods at her .

"Madhu – give me a minute I'll be back " Rishab says stopping the car near the mall . Madhu nods .

Madhu widens her eyes shocked seeing him carrying a big teddy bear .

"Madhu help me " Rishab calls her asking her to unlock the car door . Madhu hurriedly helps him as they tuck teddy on the back seat .

Madhu could not help but think for whom did he get the teddy? Seeing Rishab driving with full focus She shrugs her shoulder – Who cares ! .

Stopping the car near her home . Madhu gets down and passes a smile "Thank you so much sir",

"Won't You call me in?" Rishab asks seeing her trying to walk away .

Madhu looks unsure and looks around to check if anyone is looking at her seeing no one around she nods "I am sorry – it slipped off " ,

Rishab knew why she was hesitant yet he was selfish that he wants to meet the little bundle . Walking with her by his side Rishab was excited to meet his Little Bundle again . Not trying to freak Madhu with his excitement he controls the urge .

Knocking on the door Madhu calls out her Daadi hearing no response Madhu feels nervousness and fear creeping as she taps the door continuously .

Rishab too taps with her seeing Madhu almost panicking . Seeing no response even after ten minutes of continuous knocking . Rishab pushing Madhu aside breaks the door only to get shocked to Find Kritika trying to wake her Daadima . Kritika weeps shaking her .

Madhu instantly slides on the floor holding her Daadi's hand shaking her c, crying for her to wake up but instead finds it shocked to Find her hand falling off her hands .

Rishab could not process the situation .He stands frozen hearing the little one weeping he runs towards Kritika and cradles her in his arms . The little girl looks up with tears brimming in her eyes at Rishab as She points at her Daadima

" Bech(Beach) Ucle(Uncle) Dawdimaa (Daadimaa) No Sheep(Sleep) " , Rishab hugs her close to her chest unable to answer the little girl . How could he make the little one understand that her Daadimaa had left her alone?.

Rishab reluctantly wraps his arms around Madhu who had been crying hysterically asking her Daadi to stop playing and wake up . Madhu instantly hugs Rishab tightly as she could while the little girl too starts rooting again seeing her mama crying.

***

Days passed and weeks passed by as Madhu cried into the nights. She had stopped talking to everyone except for Kritika who she fed milk when needed and faked a smiled when her baby girl forced her to . Rishab had continuously visited them the whole month each day . He spend time with Kritika but he could not do anything to Stop Madhu from falling into depression .

But Today, Rishab walked into her house determined he would get the Old Madhu back who used to be cheerful despite all the downfall in her life . Rishab had arranged a detective to get information about Madhu . Shock would be an understatement when he got to know Madhu was married off when she was just 18 in exchange for a lump sum . When he got to know how people cursed his Little Girl Kriti as a Bad Omen and A Curse his anger had reached new heights and knowing only Daadi loved her from her childhood had made Rishab's heart ache seeing the pain and grief she had been entitled to see her childhood .

He had personally arranged a maid so that his Little girl will not be taken care off along with Madhu . Madhu had refused but Rishab 's business stone had made her give up . Sultan had pulled Rishab with him curious to know what is going behind his back between Madhu and him . Rishab had shoved off saying nothing and almost fled off from the place .

"Madhu "

With her bloodshot red puffy eyes she raises her head to look at him . She had been sitting by the window curled up with her arms wrapped her knees .

Rishab steps in towards her taking in her appearance with a sigh saddened to see her in the most vulnerable state .

"Rishu" Rishab smiles hearing the voice behind and little palms wrapping around his one leg . He looks down to Find her pouting and throwing her arms asking him to hoist . He throws her in the air making her giggle loudly making Madhu's heart warm seeing her little girl happy, Rishab brushes his nose with hers making her kick her leg on his chin . Rishab lets out a parental laugh as he nuzzles her neck with his stubble making her giggle loudly and trying push him back . Over this month Rishab had told the little bundle his name only for her to end up calling him "Rishu" ,

"Madhu" Rishab calls her out softly walking towards her with Kritika in his arms . Sitting beside her he wraps his arms around her shoulder soothing her "How long you gonna stay like this?" ,

She rests her head on his shoulder , this one month Rishab had been a great friend to her ,

"Move on" Rishab whispers kissing her hairs

She shuts her eyes letting the tears stream down "I can't She was the only Family I had who loved me wholeheartedly " ,

"Look at me " Rishab says turning her around to face him . Kritika bounces on his lap as she slides down from his arms and gets onto her mothers .

Madhu pulls Kritika up in her arms making her comfortable in her lap . Kritika standing on her feet wipes her Mama's tears and kisses her cheeks

"Mama no cry "

Madhu smiles through her tears and nods at her baby girl kissing on her cheeks . Rishab kisses Kriti on her cheeks making her giggle .

"Madhu come let's go" Rishab says pulling Madhu by her forearm

"Where?" Madhu in return asks

***

It was more than crying, it was kind of a desolate sobbing that comes from a person drained of all hope . She sank to her knees at the grave not caring for the damp mud that dirtied her dress . Her tears mingled with the rain and her gasping wails echoed around the gravestone . The pain that flowed from her came within her as she sobbed hysterically . Rishab who held Kriti in his arms while holding onto the umbrella not to wet Kriti sank on his knees beside her , struggling to keep his tears silent – seeing her in so much pain . He looks up at the watery skies and heaven beyond praying for her Daadi to rest in peace . Madhu walks away unable to see all her hopes and the reason for her living crushed had flown away .

Rishab holding Kriti 's hand asks her to place the flowers on the grave . Kriti smiling oblivious to the surrounding place , places the flowers on top of the grave and kisses Rishab 's cheeks and wounds her arms around his neck . Rishab kisses her temple lovingly feeling the Love his getting from the little bundle and walks out of to Find Madhu crying her pain out seated in the car . Wanting her to let go of her pain completely Rishab lets her cry as He sits beside her with Kriti in his laps and signs the driver to drive to her place .

***

Rishab was surprised to Find Madhu coming to the Office with Kriti . Pushing the Door open She enters Rishab 's cabin .

Kriti who was busy playing with her mother's hair . Seeing Rishab she wriggles to get out of Madhu's hold . Madhu helps Kriti on her feet who runs giggling towards Rishab .

"Rishu" She shouts laughing happily as She holds his legs signing him to carry her . Rishab who was seated Laughing pulls her on his lap and brushes his nose with hers making her slap him playfully .

Madhu passes a tired smile seeing them , Seeing Rishab with Kriti She remembers how he took care of her and Kriti when she was depressed .

"Thank You" ,

Rishab raises his brow hearing her as Kriti plays with his tie .

"For – Taking care of Kriti—"

Rishab cuts her off as he says "Madhu –That's nothing !" ,Madhu smiles ,

Rishab gestures her to take a seat , She looks unsure but sits on the opposite Seat . Rishab placing Kriti on her feet holds her little palm as She squeals and jumps on her toes thinking it's a game . Rishab pulls her cheeks making her shriek before kissing it hardly

"Rishu" She cries giggling pushing Rishab back seeing his stubble pricking her .

Rishab sits on his one knee front of Madhu while holding Kriti's palm . Taking Madhu's palm in his he says "Madhu – People we love have to go Far away from us one day and that is inevitable but they leave behind their memories for us to cherish – Do you think your Daadi would have been happy to see her child crying? Depressed " Rishab says swallowing the lump which was forming painfully .Madhu shakes her head negatively with tears brimming in her eyes ,

"Move on and Smile with her memories See how tired you look " Rishab says softly wiping her tears as she nods .

"Madhu smile " , She chuckles seeing him showing his 32 teeth gesturing her to smile and Kriti too Following him and showing with her lips wide and fingers gesturing her to smile .

"Thank You Rishab " Madhu whispers softly squeezing his hand which was in hers as he nods .

"I'll take my leave now " Madhu says getting up and trying to hold Kriti who refuses and hugs Rishab tightly burying her head in his chest .

"Mama No Going – I with Rishu " Kriti says in her babyish voice

Rishab confused wraps his arms around Kriti holding her tight , "Madhu aren't you joining work again today?"

"No Rishab —I mean sir –" , Before Madhu could continue Rishab cuts her off "Call me Rishab or Rishab Okay?" ,

She tries to protest knowing that it wouldn't be nice although She had called him his name while ago it was in the moment.

"Madhu" , The stern business tone of his says no room for arguments Madhu nods .

"Okay –Sir—" Seeing his Glare Madhu sighs and says "Rishab I need to Find a Nanny who is trustable to leave Kriti home ",

Rishab nods and says "The Maid?"

"I told her to leave as now I am fine" She whispers slowly looking at her lap scared he might chide her but instead he sees Rishab smiling .

"So You won't Join until you get a Nanny?"

Madhu nods ,

"Come with me " Rishab says holding Madhu's forearm gesturing her to stand up . Leaving Madhu's hand Rishab hoist Kriti up who immediately locks her hands around Rishab 's neck tightly still fearing that her Mama will take her away from Rishu .

"Kriti –" Rishab tries to pull her back but instead Rishab finds her whimpering and clinging onto him holding his shirt tightly in her fist , "Mama No take , You with Rishu ", Rishab says assuring soothing her back seeing her sniffing .

"Plomise (Promise) "She asks with her kittenish voice with tear stains in her cheeks .

Rishab chuckles making her pout angrily. Rishab too pouts saying Sorry and pinches her nose making her giggle and pinch her Rishu's nose .

Madhu feels insecure and jealous at their bonding as She trails behind them Finding her Girl more inclined to him but That thought vanishes hearing their giggles which unblemished the pains of her heart .

Madhu's jaw hangs upon seeing a Day Care in Kundra industries , The walls were painted with beautiful vibrant colors which was artistically beautiful with toys around and books and all the essential things needed around .Chart put ups and beautiful arts hang around in each wall which made Kriti jump and clap her hands excitedly looking at the beauty . Rishab kisses her chubby cheeks while asking "Kriti Like?". Kriti nods kissing Rishab 's cheeks making him laugh overwhelmed .

Madhu tries to step in but Rishab holds her as She looks over her shoulders gesturing him why?. Rishab shakes her head and pulls her back and shows the ribbon which was placed in entrance .

Madhu questions him "How & When?"

"In Your absence " Rishab says softly .

"Okay Come let's cut the ribbon " Rishab says kissing Kriti

"Why her?" Madhu asks shocked

"Get the colleagues to the Day care and the scissor " Rishab rings up his PA giving orders

"Madhu This was solely made For Kriti and I want MY CHILD to Cut the ribbon"

"My Child?" Madhu whispers shocked

Rishab turns to her shocked that he had called Kriti his child – That's wrong , "No—I Mean My Kriti as She is my best friend haina Kriti?" Rishab says the last bit kissing Kriti who nods clapping her hands chuckling

"Beswt Priend (Best Friend) Rishu " She says laughing throwing her head back giggling as Rishab nuzzles his nose on her tummy .

"Rishu Staap (Stop) " Kriti says in between her giggles . Rishab makes sounds on her tummy as she tries to push him back laughing loudly .

Madhu too passes a small smile understanding it rolled from his tongue by mistake but seeing them playing together so happily . her eyes wells up with the thought Her Child would be deprived of the Father's Love all her life . Wiping the tears quickly she chuckles seeing them .

Soon all assemble in the place . Shocked they ask Madhu Whether Kriti is her child as they were unknown to the Fact that Madhu was married . Faces Fall of men who had expected they had a chance with Madhu . Madhu nods with a hesitant smile . When they start questioning about Her husband . Rishab who noticed her discomfort changes the topic saying it's time to cut the ribbon.

Rishab holding Kriti in his arms gives her the scissor , Kriti tries to play with the scissor examining it front and behind . Rishab shakes his head asking her not to . She pouts at him . Rishab bites his lower lip seeing his Little Queen's anger . He Kisses thrice on her cheeks making her chuckle .

Rishab bends down with her on his knees as He gestures Madhu to Follow him , they sit on their knees as Kriti cuts the ribbon with Rishab and Madhu helping. The colleagues put their hands up on applause . Kriti pulls the ribbon in her hand tangling it around her neck to arms and chuckles loudly trying to get out of it .

Rishab laughs seeing the adorable little antics as She pouts and slaps Rishab 's chest for Laughing at her . Madhu laughs and helps Kriti in getting the ribbon off her body .

Kriti pokes her tongue out at Rishab and runs in . Rishab shakes his head smiling looking at the little bundle who was running from one table to another sitting and pulling the toys and showing so much actions just like a Butterfly who flies fluttering its wings .

"Madhu Are You a single parent?" Sikander asks standing beside Madhu almost too close invading her personal space.

Madhu nods disinterestedly trying to move away instead she feels Sikander holding her hand "Do we have a chance?" he whispers seductively in her ears

Madhu pushes him furiously and warns in "Stay in your limits !" , and walks away leaving Sikander who eyes her from head to toe .

Rishab who had witnessed the small encounter between Sikander and Madhu could not make out what transpired but seeing Sikander's lustful eyes he feels the beast in him unleashing . he rings up Sikander asking him to meet in His Cabin.

Sikander walks into the Office humming to "Laal Ishq " Only to Find a punch landing straight on his nose . Sikander yelps in pain as he sees Rishab looking at him angrily

"Next time Eye her – I'll Pull those out of the sockets " Rishab warns at Sikander kicking on his leg making him Fall on his knees .

"Out !" Rishab roars at Sikander who walks out not before passing a glare at Rishab .

Sitting on his chair , Sikander pulls his hairs as his mind keeps repeating the humiliation . He looks up from his chair to see Rishab playing happily with Kriti . He smirks knowing what he has to do .

***

Madhu and other colleagues use to bring their Kids to work and leave them at the day care . Madhu was more than happy as She gets to visit Kriti whenever she was free and having her child near her eyesight was what she yearned , leaving her Baby back home had always made her restless with the thoughts what her baby would be doing .

In the meantime it was Rishab who had been more than happy – He spent have of his work time with Kriti .Carrying her to his Cabin Rishab use to play with the little bundle not caring what others would think about him . He had made Madhu his PA too getting Permission from Sultan who had smirked.

It had been a two weeks since the incident , Sikander could not get the insult out of his head , He had been waiting for the correct time to give Rishab and Madhu both pain in return for his humiliation .

Today morning had been the same as other days except for Kriti , Who had been cranky since morning , Rishab had carried her to his cabin only for her to be grumpy . Wondering whether the little girl was sick he had dialed up Madhu . Madhu who had walked in shaking her head had said the drama queen had been sulking as She refuse to give her favorite chocolate.

Rishab had chided Madhu cutely favoring the little girl and had ordered a basket of chocolates making Madhu scold Rishab in return saying that Her little girl has a tooth pain .

Rishab had frowned and looked at the little girl who was now happily hogging onto her chocolate smearing it all over her face and clothes . Madhu had glared at Rishab and walked out irritated .

Rishab looking at the little girl in his arms sees her that She had wedged her little fingers inside her mouth licking onto the fingers oblivious to the surrounding . Rishab chuckles – Her Mother is indeed scary at times .

"Now Let me clean you " Rishab says placing her on the couch who looks up with her puppy eyes and bringing the piece of chocolate for Her Rishu to eat .

Rishab who finds a small palm tapping his thigh Looks down to see her eyeing him to have the chocolate . Rishab looks from her to the chocolate seeing her nodding at him to eat . The chocolate was melted and sticky with a bit of saliva but Rishab holding her palm eats the chocolate with tears brimming in his eyes happily – He wanted to Have A Child who would care for him and Love him like his Little Kriti , But his Fate !

Wetting a Kerchief He gently wipes cleaning the chocolate around her face making her shriek and trying to pull the kerchief off . As the Little Frock he had ordered comes . He helps Kriti in dressing up as She jumps on her toes and twirls around loving the Lemon Frock which ended above her knees . Rishab clicks her pictures in different angles as She dances clapping her hands loudly .

Radha who had decided to check upon her boy , Smiles seeing the scene in front of her She had heard From her elder son Sultan and Younger Mukund how the Little Bundle had been changing her Boy and making him smile but Finding it Front of her eyes She finds tears welling up . She nods thinking that it would be the right decision .

"Mom – I can't " Rishab says frustrated seeing them giving the same looks 'You- Cannot- Disagree ' .

"O what's the Problem? Madhu is single you love Kriti like your own child right So Why?" Mukund asks taking his seat with his wife Trishna .

Currently His Mom, Daadi , His Dad and His Brothers and their wives have assemble d in the room asking him to Marry Madhu .

"Mom – Kriti is like my own " Rishab says lovingly seeing the little bundle in the curtains of his eyelid .

"Then What's the problem?" Mohan, His Dad, asks annoyed

"Madhu is young – We have 7 year's gap between us Dad She is 22 and I am 29 " ,

They sigh seeing his reason . Daadi shakes her head who was quiet up to now .

"Rishab – it aren't a problem – Me and Your Daada had 11 years gap yet we made through it with love So even Madhu and You can – " , Rishab looks at her intently

"Rishab age aren't a problem – See Madhu had been though a lot you naah told us? – She was married when she was 18 and impregnated too , but She was mature enough to bring up her child singlehanded-ly while studying and working for their living – If You are ready to accept Madhu as Your wife whole heartedly agree ! because that's what she needs – She needs love and care if You can give her agree – I will never question about Kriti knowing the love you have for the little bundle – Think Rishab – talk to her once maybe " , Caressing his hairs Daadi gestures everyone to make a move out of the room leaving Rishab in thoughts .

Rishab tosses around the bed thinking about his Family's suggestion . He wants to have Kriti , Without Kriti his life would be meaningless , That Little bundle Filled colors in his empty canvas . Without her He would be back to aloof and broken but Madhu – Will I able to Love Madhu? And give her what she expects from a Husband?

Rishab 's thoughts halt as he finds Anaya pouncing on his stomach "Chachu" She taps him

"Yes My cutie " Rishab pulls her close to his chest

"Chachu – I need a sister to play " She says sitting on his stomach

Rishab 's smile vanishes as he says "ask Your Papa Baby" ,

"No chachu – Mama told Ask Chachu "

"Anaya " He calls out her lovingly

"Chachu Mama told you will get a little sister called Kriti get me soon chachu "

Rishab chuckles seeing his babhi's antics to make him agree .

Smiling he nods making Anaya shriek "Mama Chachu agreed" , Rishab 's eyes widens seeing everyone jumping into his room happily and excited .

Rishab 's lips curve up seeing the happiness in their eyes , Crossing his finger that Madhu to agrees he closes his eyes wishing .

***

Madhu looks at him shocked hearing his proposal ,

"Madhu – I understand if you reject me after knowing my problem and the age " Rishab says sadly seeing her not even spoken a word since half-hour .

Madhu had been getting ready to work only to Find Rishab at her doorstep early morning .

"Rishab – I—For me All I have is Kriti – as much as I want to give her a Father – Can I trust in you that you will love her as your own? – Your Problem is nothing for me trust me I never wanted another child but incase in future if you get a chance to heal and we have another child Will You distance Kriti?" Madhu asks calmly

"Madhu – My problem has no solution but trust me incase as you say if any miracle happens – I will never Leave Kriti – I came here to ask you after accepting the Little bundle as mine – You do not know Madhu how she makes me happy with just a smile ",

Madhu looks at the Man in front of him in pride She had seen how he adored and loved her Baby girl but hearing it from him makes her heart flutters in happiness knowing how good of a father he would be .

"I need time" Madhu says knowing she cannot take any decision in a haste She had done this before and lost her life in return .

"Okay" Rishab says with a smile .

Rishab stands up to leave , Madhu to walks with him to the door too only Find three unwanted guest in her place .

"Sikander" Rishab says raising his brow

"Madhu where is My Son's child?" The Old Lady asks Followed by the Old Man

Rishab turns around silently asking Madhu who are them , Madhu gulps hearing their tone as she whispers to Rishab "His Parents ",

Rishab Finds anger building in him knowing it is the Parents of the B**d who made her Life hell and from the information he got to know even this people tortured Madhu and forced them to abort the child knowing it's a girl .

Sikander smirks seeing the Fear in Madhu's eyes and the anger in Rishab 's eyes. He had personally searched about Madhu's background and knowing Her Husband's Parents are alive he had brainwashed them into asking their rights on their granddaughter as the only thing left as a remembrance of their Son.

"Why are You even here?" Rishab snaps at them

"We are here to take Our grandchild with Us – This Girl cannot bring her up alone " The Old Man speaks up

"No – I am not giving my daughter " Madhu says as tears threatened to spill in From her eyes

"Give to Us " The Old lady says angrily

As Madhu cries pleading them to leave . Rishab who had enough shouts back at them "Where did this Love come from Aah? Just Leave before I do something bad!"

"Who the hell are you? " The old lady snaps at him while raising her brows as She continues with disgust "Ohh I get it – She is Your Keep right?"

"Enough" Rishab roars seeing them insulting Madhu

"You want to know who I am right?" Rishab says taking a step towards them "I am the Man who will marry her tomorrow , I am her soon-to-be husband and the Child you are talking about is Rishab Kundra's Daughter Kritika Rishab Kundra ! Got it !"

Madhu widens her eyes hearing him . Kritika who had been riding her toy car in the room comes running to the hall hearing the noises .

She stops at a distance seeing new people "Rishu" She calls him out .

They turn their head towards her , The old lady Faking her smile moves towards Kritika . Kriti scared seeing the Woman eyeing her scarily cries and runs towards Rishu hugging him by his leg .

Rishab carries Kriti and pats her back whispering sweet nothings into her ears trying to pacify her . None can say that this was the Man who was roaring like a angrily man just few minutes back .

Madhu looking at the duo shakes her head knowing She cannot give Kriti a better Father than him .

"Leave both Of You " Rishab says sternly not to scare of the Little one but the sending Fires balls though his orbs warning them .

"You whore –" The old woman shouts

Rishab cups Kriti's ears instantly making sure the little one does not here ,

"Shut up – Insult My Wife again and Your everything will burn into ashes "

Madhu cries looking at the man in front of her proudly . Not once she had seen someone standing up for her even her Daadi , as Her Daadi was always scared to stand up against people .One reason Madhu had been suffered so much in her life .

The Old Parents passes a glance at each other nodding that they should leave knowing that they are trying to fight against big people leaves the place silently making Sikander's face fall .

"Sikander" Rishab calls out to him calmly seeing Kriti still shivering in his arms – She had got scared the moment she heard the big noises when she was in the room .

"You are Fired ! – Next time Dare aim at MY FAMILY – YOU DIE! " ,

Sikander stomping his foot walks out dejected as he lost everything , No job means , no car no house , which was provided by the Company .

Turning towards Madhu Rishab opens his mouth to apologize knowing that he did wrong by announcing her as His Wife without her consent Finds surprised to see her hugging him tightly with Kriti in between while weeping . Rishab as on reflex wraps his arms around her shoulder .

"Madhu-I –am –Sorry "

"Thank You" She replies instead breaking off from the hug as Kriti pushes her while snuggling close to Rishab 's chest .

Rishab wipes her tears with his thumb as She sobs more "Madhu they won't come again – Don't worry ",

She nods gazing at him lovingly "Rishab I don't want love – Can You promise me something else ?"

Rishab tries to shake his head hearing her First line but nods to know what she wants from him .

"My Baby needs a Father's Love and trust me non except you can love her like his own – Promise me that You will love my baby forever?"

Rishab smiles kissing Kriti "How can you ask a father that Madhu? She is my Little Bundle and My Love for her is infinity " ,

Madhu smiles happily hearing his words as her heart flutters in happiness "Thank You" She whispers again despite him shaking his head in protest.

"Rishu" Kriti calls him sleepily raising her head up

"Sleep baby " Rishab tries to pat her back to sleep but she shakes her head locking her arms around his neck .

"No Sleep "

Rishab chuckles hearing her tone

"Kriti" Madhu calls her softly , seeing her Mama she shows her arms asking Madhu to carry her

"Kriti – You asked me Papa where right?" Madhu says cutely remembering her baby asking her where is her Papa few months ago watching a couple in the beach playing with a kid. Rishab 's eyes wells up hearing Madhu.

"There is Your Papa" Madhu points at Rishab

Kriti smiles clapping her hands "Mama Rishu , My Papa?" She asks cutely as Madhu nods .

Turning to Rishab Kriti calls him "Papa" ,

"Papa" The word Rishab had yearned to hear since years , His Baby is calling him Papa and what more could he ask for?

He pulls Kriti in his arms cradling as he showers kisses around her face as tears spills from his cheeks . Kriti laughs loudly thrilled being the recipient to receive affection from her Father .

***

The next day Morning , The Marriage preparations begin as Rishab had mentioned the previous day . He had asked Madhu about her plans and consent about the Wedding only for her to say that she would like to have a small wedding in The Temple . Rishab had nodded happily as He would get the Little bundle at His Place The very next day.

His Daadi and Mom had opposed but had given in knowing at least that he would be marrying. They wanted to have a grand marriage for their Child but Rishab 's sudden decision and his wish of having a small one had stopped them from planning anything beyond.

Rishab smiles sitting in the mandap with his little bundle on his lap who was playing with his sehra .

"Papa Mama where?" , Rishab 's heart flutters each time she addresses him as 'Papa' , pinching her little button nose Rishab makes her sit on his lap and points to her , Kriti smiles seeing her mother walking towards them dressed in Red Lehenga and her head veiled .

Rishab 's heart skips a beat seeing her ascending towards him like a angel dropped from heaven accompanied by Trishna and Dipali babhi . Kriti taps him

"Papa Mama Beuvful (beautiful) " , Rishab smiles as he says hugging the little one close to him "Your Mama is So Beautiful "

Kriti jumps on his lap chirping happily seeing her Papa agreeing with her .

Madhu with each step she took she found herself remembering her past , trying to get rid of the negative thoughts She raises her eyelashes as She sees through the veil at him looking at her without blinking his eyes , that made her blush , She never Had different feelings towards him it had always been professional and these two months it had been Friendship but Seeing him today look at her with a different glint in his eyes , She finds redness creeping up her cheeks . Seeing her little bundle in his lap She smiles overwhelmed . Seeing him indirectly showing Her what Kriti is too him .

Sitting beside him Madhu feels her heart hammering loudly – Last time it had been for compromise for Her father but this time The Feeling She is going to belong to someone who cares for her makes her feel as the luckiest person on earth.

Anaya holds Kriti's little palm as the rituals starts . When it is the time to tie the knot , Rishab gestures Kriti to come towards him . With the Help of Her New Daadi which is Radha , She ties the knot between her Papa and Mama squealing in happiness as Rishab and Madhu kisses her cheeks from both sides .

Rishab stands up for the pheras and forwards his hand blinking his eyes assuring her . throughout the seven pheras Rishab held her pinky finger in away assuring her that He would travel along with her in the Journey called their 'Life'.

***

Rishab holding Madhu's palm and carrying Kriti in his arms they step into the Mansion together with Madhu kicking the kalash with a smile on their faces . Kriti instantly Falls asleep on Rishab 's shoulder tired through all the rituals . Rishab cradling her in his arms rocks her to sleep .

Sultan and Dipali smile seeing Rishab 's affection towards the little one . Mukund gestures Rishab to passe little Kriti to him but Rishab refuses as He knows Kriti would cry if She is passed to someone else while sleeping .

Anaya sits beside her Chachu holding Kriti's little finger kissing her chubby cheeks once in a while and patting her head if the little one whimpers in her sleep . Rishab smiles and wraps his other arm around Anaya pulling her to his lap as Madhu is ushered to his room by the girls .

"Chachu will she play with me?" Anaya asks cutely looking at Kriti

Rishab chuckles and nods kissing Anaya 's hairs .

***

Madhu walks to and fro in his room murmuring to herself restlessly wondering whether Kriti had her food , Is My baby crying? , She was left alone for her First night , that thought suddenly occurs as she fidgets with her fingers , She needs time – it isn't easy as she had gone through nightmare during her past marriage .

Hearing the slight creaking of the door She sucks in her breath and lowers her eyelashes standing frozen in her place .

"Madhu Feel free" She hears him whisper as she looks up to see him walking in with Kriti and a plate of food . Tucking the baby on their bed Rishab kisses her temple lovingly seeing the little one still asleep .

Madhu smiles and walks towards them and sits beside him , "She is tired " Madhu says caressing her baby .

Rishab nods with a smile "Yes She enjoyed too much running around dancing jumping " he says excited .

Madhu looks at him intently without blinking at him seeing the happiness in his face as he gazes at the little one .

"Madhu" Rishab turns his attention towards her seeing her not responding. Seeing her looking lost at him He smirks and raises his brows and moves a bit closer to her .

Seeing his breath ghosting around her face She breaks from the daze and finds him close to her. Rishab pinches her nose chuckling as She frowns slapping his arm .

"Madhu" he calls her out lovingly and opens his arms .

Smiling at him She moves towards him placing her head on his chest as She feels him tightening her arm around her shoulders .

"Madhu, I promise to give your happiness and all the care you need and Will take it slow Okay?" Madhu looks up from the embrace with pride brimming in her heart for the man front of him .

Back then her late husband had taken her on their first night without asking her permission when she had pleaded him to give her some time .

Madhu hugs him tighter as shivers remembering as she sobs and hugs him happily for getting a chance to be with the Best Man she had come across .

Rishab pats her back hearing her sobbing.

"Madhu look up " he says cupping her face and wiping her tears "Mama no tears Okay?" He says in babyish voice making her chuckle

She nods at him , He leaves her and gets up "Change into something simple ",

Madhu nods walking towards her suitcase she opens it "Madhu Give me Kriti's dress – The Frock she is one is too heavy for my princess",

Madhu smiles and passes Kriti's while she takes her night suit . Rishab signs her , left seeing her looking around to find a place to change . Madhu letting her hairs free walks out after changing to find him removing Kriti's frock slowly without disturbing her Baby's sleep with utmost care .

She ties her hands around her chest admiring him changing the dress . Once done He kisses Kriti on her temple while tucking her to bed and patting her .

Rishab raises his one brow seeing Madhu standing dazed . She shakes her head and walks towards him .

Rishab brings the plate of food in his hand and sits beside her in the bed with one leg down .

"Eat" He gestures while holding a spoon of rice in front of her mouth . She opens her mouth feeling loved with his gestures .

He has one spoon while he feeds the other for her . Her eyes wanders around his face finding it so serene . That smile of his would make her fall for him head over heels soon she concludes .

"Let's sleep?" Rishab asks , Madhu nods and walks to the other side of the bed .

Rishab and Madhu sleep with Kriti in between them . Rishab holds Kriti's and her palm in his making her smile as she entwines her fingers with his .

***

The Next morning made her Feel blessed seeing the Love she was showered upon her by his Family . Her Mother-in-law and Daadi had Pulled Madhu with her to show a new set of dresses and jewelries purchased and gifted it to her saying it was her right when She had declined .

Her Papaji, Tej, had pulled Madhu with him to the kitchen to show all the dishes he had especially prepared for his daughter . Madhu had hugged him overwhelmed with happiness . He had called Rishab down and warned Rishab would be 8 Feet under the ground if a tear spills from his daughter's eyes .

Mukund had been the cool devar who had pulled her with him despite Rishab whining that he needs to have some time with his wife which made her blush as everyone hooted . Mukund had screened Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai making her forget the world as She had whistled and danced to the tunes of 'Swag se Swagat' along with Mukund and Dipali while Her husband , Sultan and Trishna her devrani had shaked their heads seeing them behaving childish. Anaya and Kriti to had joined them . Soon as Kriti danced Rishab too had joined their craziness dancing with His Little girl in his arms had they had a blast enjoying themselves while Sultan and Trishna had taken seats while munching pop-corns enjoying the show put up for them .

Madhu had never have been this happy in her life , with him and his family she feels as if she had regained a new birth . Laughing at her thoughts She walks towards the kitchen at least to prepare dinner for her family but who is She kidding – The Kitchen was Owned by the Kundra Men , She leans onto the door frame seeing Her Papaji and the Kundra brother cooking while dancing , singing and dancing . Madhu laughs seeing Anaya and Kriti hogging onto the ice-cream while jumping on their seat dancing along with them .

Mohannoticing Madhu , Signs her to join them , He pulls Madhu and Makes her dance along with him . Madhu laughs loudly shaking her hips to the tunes with them too overwhelmed to be a part of this Happy Family .

It had been around two months since they have been married, Life was wonderful for Madhu with him by her side and Kriti . She had joined back to work where Rishab had proudly introduced Madhu as his wife and his pride "Mrs. Madhu Rishab Kundra" , The title makes her heart flutter seeing his name attached beside hers .

He had kissed Kriti on her cheeks hardly who had squealed on her Papa's hold when introducing her as "Kritika Rishab Kundra".

Kriti had imitated his word loudly "Kriiti Rishu Kundu " making Rishab laugh whole heartedly , She had pouted puffing out in anger as all had laughed at her , Rishab had pulled his ears asking sorry but she had turned her other way angrily for Rishab to bribe his little one with chocolate .

In These two months , Rishab and Madhu had gotten closer , Few hugs each day had been a routine and they would sit at the end of the day talking to each other about Kriti . Rishab had Transfer 50% Share of His on her Name while she had chided him what's the need but he had simply replied that It was their family tradition to give their women half the share . Madhu had felt herself floating up in the air seeing him addressing her as "His Woman".

***

Few days After, Rishab shouts from the Room "Madhu my tie",

Madhu who was working in the kitchen sees the mischievous glances Dipali and Trishna had been passing at her blushes .

Feeling herself Flushed with the new found feelings that She had fallen for the Man who is back in her room shouting for her , She walks out of the kitchen .

Rishab smiles looking at himself in the mirror , Two months and His life had changed upside down , His Little Princess had been the Light in his life where His Queen had taken a huge place in his heart which cannot be replaced . Holding her in his arms for few minutes had been extremely peaceful and talking to her over the nights as she would listen to him with a smile without getting annoyed and hear him ranting . Her care , Her everything had made him Feel for the Woman .

Madhu takes tentative steps towards her room to see him standing front of the mirror shirtless . Her cheeks heats up as she ogles at his body .

"Madhu" He teases and gestures his index finger asking her to come . She finds her hands sweating as she lowers her eyelashes shyly , From the corner of her eyes she sees Kriti playing with her Teddy bear , The same Rishab had purchased months back , It had surprised her to know that he had brought it for Kriti.

Stopping right in front of him , She find herself inhaling his colognes and drawing in a sharp breath , He smirks seeing her heated gaze on his torso , Madhu gasps feeling his hands on her bare waist as she pulled into his naked torso .

"Ri —sh—ab " She fumbles with her words as He smirks and leans down to looking into her eyes . She flushes and lowers her eyelashes down as her cheeks are kissed rosy pink .

"You—know – I—read –an instagram post which says '10 ways to make your Wife happy " He whispers seductively running his finger tips down her cheeks and using his thumb he holds her chin making her look up at him .

"So?" She asks softly

"First one was – Romance with Your Wife"

"Achha" Madhu whispers bravely locking her arms around his neck hearing his teasing tone

"So how did it mention how to Romance your Wife too?" Madhu asks seductively whispering in his ears .

Rishab widens his eyes hearing her , Seeing his Shy naïve biwi trying to seduce him with her words but soon he smirks and smiles seeing her comfortable with him .

"Madhuji Do You think Your Husband needs a book on How to Romance his biwi? " , she bites her lower lip to stop herself from blushing .

"You know it's quite getting late – I don't mind like this – but the meeting cannot wait " Rishab whispers huskily pulling her more closer in his arms as she flushes and slightly chuckles and pushes him .

"Shameless " Madhu says chuckling seeing him smirking at her .

Wearing his shirt while Madhu stands in front of him , Rishab signs her to button his shirt . Madhu raises her brow showing Kriti who is playing with her head oblivious to the surrounding .

Rishab pouts making her melt and take a step towards him . He snakes his hand around her waist and plays with her earring while she buttons up. Her fingers graze around his torso making him flush wanting her to continue and stop at the same time .

Madhu oblivious to what she is doing to him looks up and says "Don't Pout like Kriti – I cannot even stay stern " She says pouting making him chuckle as She works her fingers towards his shirt collar .

Cupping her face in his palms he says smiling "Ahaan I got my biwi's weakness " , She slaps his forearm scrunching her nose adorably and helps him with the tie . Once done Rishab opens his arms calling for a hug as she places her head on his chest as he plays with her hairs while kissing her temple.

"This Feels enchanting and beautiful " Rishab says softly hugging her tighter feeling blissful. She nods against his heart pressing her more into him.

"Papa Mama Me huggie " Rishab and Madhu look down from their embrace to see their little angel pouting showing her arms up .

Rishab leaves Madhu and pulls his little one and kisses her cheeks "Now happy?" he asks as she shakes her head negatively ,"Why?" Rishab asks confused

"Mama huggie no " She says pouting making Rishab and Madhu chuckle

"Mama Papa no laugh at Kriiti " she says puffing and pouting and turning her head away from them .

Madhu pulls her ears asking sorry cutely , Kriti does not melt . Rishab brushes his stubble in her cheeks trying to make her giggle but she pushes Rishab angrily "Papa no" She pleads

"Then smile " Rishab says making sounds in her tummy as She giggles loudly

"Papa Kriiti smile" She says trying to make her Papa stop.

Rishab stops and kisses her cheeks hardly making her give him a full smile as Madhu hugs both of them . Kriti puts her one around her Mama's neck and the other around her Papa's and kisses them on their cheeks as they kiss her back as she laughs loudly .

Mukund had bend done but still sulking Kriti had brought the piece of her cake near her Muku Chachu , when Mukund had opened his mouth to have She had applied the piece of cake all over his face making him make a cry face. Others had laughed seeing naughtiness of the little girl . Kriti had giggled cupping her mouth seeing her Chachu looking like a ghost . Her Chachu was her Partner in doing mischievous things .

Mukund had chased the little one only for her to shriek and run between everyone's legs asking for help . Kriti had run to her Papa who had pulled her into his protecting embrace shielding her from her Chachu. Mukund had huffed seeing her as Kriti had poked her tongue out giving him in a winning smirk.

The next morning , Rishab takes Kriti with him to show her Birthday gift , Madhu follows him curiously trailing behind since even he had hid it from her , Kriti widens her eyes cupping her cheeks seeing the room , Her own room, painted with vibrant colors and with toys and canvas around and a little cupboard for herself , a dressing set and every other thing needed .

Which fascinated the little one was the canvas, "Papa for me?" She asks excited showing the canvas. Rishab kisses her cheeks as he says "Yes For My Princess" ,

Kriti runs towards the canvass and caresses it , Taking the crayon she starts coloring instantly scribbling as Rishab sits beside her . Madhu smiles seeing them and takes her leave leaving the Father-Daughter duo alone .

"Papa nice?" she asks sitting on his lap and showing her art . She had scribbled lines and circles in different colors .

"Woow , My Princess this is Beautiful "He says widening his eyes showing how beautiful it is .

She smiles and raises her eyes happy to see her Papa appreciating her art .

"Haa Your Mama is so Beautiful – she is something Your Papa wanted after You " he says lovingly lost in his Madhu's art .

Madhu finds tears welling up hearing his words as She moves towards them silently and gasps seeing her Picture drawn so magnificently.

"This is –" She is at a loss of words as Rishab smiles and says making her sit beside him .

"Our wedding remember when I saw you walking towards me – I Felt as if – An angel coming towards me ",

Madhu passes a loving smile towards him and wraps her arms around his shoulder while resting her head as he rests his head over hers. Kriti standing on her feet in his lap locks her arms around her Parents neck and rest her head over her Papa's . Rishab chuckles the little one does not fail to surprise him .

Kriti plays with her Anaya didi , hiding game . Her Anaya didi had hide somewhere and left her to Find . Kriti searches under the chairs and tables calling for her Anaya didi . She passes by her Bade Papa's room and stops outside the door holding her chin while placing her index finger on her temple thinking her Anaya didi would be hiding here . Silently she sneaks in to only witness her Bade papa cleaning dust off her Badi mama's mouth with his mouth . Not disturbing them , Kritika runs around the room silently searches for her Anaya didi finding her not around she pouts.

"Bade Papa" Kriti shrieks making them gasp out loudly

"Kriti" They shout shocked making her little scared

"When did you come?" Dipali asks still not reeling from the shock

"Badi maa- When Anaya didi – hide – I—Bade papa cleaning your mouth " Kriti says stuttering thinking she had done something wrong

Dipali and Sultan pass a glance horrified and decide to talk to the little one so she does not tell anyone but before they could take a step Kriti runs out .

Kriti runs quickly to her Muku chachu's room thinking that Her Chachu will help her in finding Anaya didi but stops seeing her Chachu hiding behind the curtain with her chachi . Kriti giggles closing her mouth thinking her Chachu and chachi is too playing with her . Tip toeing silently she pulls the curtain laughing " Chachu Kriiti Catch You ",

But Kriti shivers seeing them looking at her horrified with their eyes wide , She trembles and asks "Chachu You cleaning Chachi mouth?",

Mukund looks shocked while Trishna nudges him by his shoulder shooting glares , She had said that someone might walk in and to keep his hands and lips to himself but the Duffer did not give ears . She glares at him and walks out leaving him alone with Kriti .

Mukund bends on his knees and holds Kriti in his arms and says "Baby no saying anyone okay?", Kriti nods hogging onto the chocolate her Muku Chachu had just bribed .

During the Dinner , Everyone take their seat and have their food while Rishab feeds Kriti while having for himself .Kriti who had been eating while playing with her doll asks Rishab suddenly "Papa"

Rishab hums in response while having a spoon , "Papa" She shakes him seeing him not looking at her , She hates when someone speaks without facing her .

Rishab drops the spoon knowing how stubborn his little girl is and gives his undivided attention to his little princess

"Why Little Princess?"

She shows her tooth grinning hearing her Papa calling her Princess "Papa Why you no mama mouth clean?" She asks cutely making Sultan and Mukund along with their wives freeze on their spot and choke on their food.

Daadi ,Radha and Mohanalong with Madhu's eyes pops out of their sockets hearing her .

"Papa" Kriti shakes him seeing him looking at her horrified "Papa no that look –scary like chachu and bade papa"

Rishab ends up coughing badly as Madhu runs to him with a glass of water .

"Kriti Why did you ask Princess?" Madhu asks patting Rishab 's back

"Mama Anaya didi hide , Me search ,and –"

"Kriti stop" All Four chorus gaining the whole attention of the people who are looking at them weirdly .

"Kriti baby you go play " Rishab says wiping her mouth and placing her on her feet who leaves along with Anaya

"Care to explain?" Rishab asks four them as the elders pass teasing glances

"Hello – Mr.Verma –hello " Sultan runs out holding his phone . Dipali looks around seeing them leaning a bit towards the table waiting for her to explain .

"Ahhaa , Machar Bite (Mosquito bite) aaha it's bleeding " Dipali screams holding her wrist and sprints out of the place that gives place for the other two who sat trying to dig a hole in the floor.

"Muku" Rishab says raising his brows with a teasing smirk

Trishna pinches Mukund on his hip making him yelp in pain "Aah"

"Muku oh no – Mukund – Duffer had got a stomach pain –oh no—Let's get back to room if not you will wet the pants here" Trishna says panicking trying to pull Mukund who was glaring at her seeing her spoiling his reputation but knowing he had to escape yelps again play along and runs out with Trishna.

Daadi,Radha ,Mohan along with Madhu and Rishab look at everyone's face and end up laughing holding their stomach .

Radha stops laughing with a teasing smirk she turns to her son and says "Kriti Papa when are you going to clean Kriti Mama's Mouth ?",

Rishab stops laughing hearing Radha and looks at Madhu who was flushed and ran away in embarrassment . Rishab looks at his phone which was in the table to his mother who was looking expectantly at him while his Daadi and Dad had joined with the same teasing look .

"Hello –" Rishab hurriedly runs out keeping the phone in his ear .

Radha along with Daadi end up laughing hard shaking their heads happy for their children.

She places her palms over his hands which are placed around her tummy as She breathes heavily .

"Hmm" She hums . She feels his hot breath on her neck , then the tender of brush his lips twice and thrice . Burning as they make contacts with her neck . A hand runs through her hair as the kisses become harder and more urgent . She draws in a sharp intake as he nips around her collarbone .

"What do think?" He whispers placing his lips on her jaws turning her around as she swims her head giving him access.

"About –what?" Her voice breaks as it comes out in soft whisper .

"Cleaning mouth" He winks placing an open mouth kiss on the corner of her lips as She opens her eyes ever so slowly .

Her cheeks acquire the tinge of rosiness as he smirks seeing his effect on her . She pushes him slightly for him to only pull her in his arms again. She buries her head on his chest shying after little intimate moment he had . He laughs hugging her tightly and kisses her head making her lips curve up as they relish the moment .

"Madhu she is burning " Radha calls Madhu while checking Kriti's forehead ,

"Kriti" Madhu walks to her room shocked after work soon as her Radha Maaji had ringed up .

"Baby Mama is here" Madhu says caressing her head while cradling her .

"I have given medicines – The doctor checked up , It is Normal fever yet The doctor had strictly instructed to come over to the hospital if the temperature doesn't go down " Madhu nods with tears welling up in her eyes . She only had her Baby and if something happens .

"Mama Papa?" Kriti asks slowly shivering

"Papa will come – Now come let's eat " Madhu says softly

"No eat – I need Papa" Kriti cries kicking her legs in the air

"Kriti" Madhu says angrily "Papa – When did Papa come? It was me who was with you throughout !" She says angrily

Kriti looks at her mother in fear and starts crying loudly pushing Madhu wailing for her Papa.

Rishab who had walked in to Find Kriti crying while Radha was looking at Madhu horrified walks up to them but stops hearing Madhu's words .what's gotten into her? Rishab wonders

"Madhu" Rishab calls softly

"Oh here comes your Papa – Now who needs Mama when Papa is with You" She says angrily fighting her angry tears and walks out .

Kriti cries throwing her arms for Rishab to carry , Rishab sighing carries Kriti and looks at Radha who was shocked to see the sudden change in Madhu.

"Mom" he calls Radha softly after half an hour and passes Kriti who had fallen asleep "Take care of her , I'll check on Madhu " He says in an assuring tone as Radha nods .

Rishab walks to the terrace to see her crying curled in the bench sobbing. He sits beside her and clears his throat to show his presence. He hears her sniffing and muttering a "Sorry".

Rishab holds her forearm and pulls her in a hug as She cries snuggling into his chest "What Happened?" he asks caressing her hairs

She sniffs and looks up with her puffy eyes and red nose and says "No one love me " She says sniffing , Rishab tries to shake his head in protest but stops "No one Kriti too loves you not me " She says like a child.

Rishab chuckles and wraps his arms around her shoulder and pulls her more closer "Who told?" ,She sniffs in reply ,

"Mom Dad to my brothers to their wives love you more than me and Kriti She loves you so so much ",

"No Kriti doesn't " She says sniffing

"Who put those thoughts into that head" he asks knocking on her head with his knuckle .

Madhu looks unsure but one glare from him she spills it out "Sikander – I dropped by the mall to get gifts for Kriti and Anaya – there he saw me coincidently – He came to me when I tried to walk away he started blabbering nuisance – He called me a gold-digger that I trapped in you in my web and then he started saying how you love only Kriti and you are trying to separate Kriti from me and when Kriti gets attached to you fully you will separate her from me and take Kriti with you leaving me alone as I am a curse from the day I was born killing everyone who was around me --- I walked away giving him befitting reply but I – just don't know what happened when I saw Kriti asking for you and I just lashed out –I –am -_Sorry " She says crying

Rishab looks himself burning up in anger hearing about Sikander but seeing her in this condition he could only find an insecure mother and broken women who craved for love all her life . Rishab kisses on her head and cups her face in his palms .

"Stop crying" He chides her affectionately as she nods sniffing.

"Kriti loves you as much she loves me ! " , Madhu nods agreeing with him .

"She might have missed me so asked for me – that does not mean she does not love you Madhu "

"I know" she says wiping her tears and gets up to run to her child .

Rishab holds her wrist standing "where do you think you are going ?" ,

"I scolded her – she is sick – She needs me" Madhu says crying

"She is sleeping and her temperature had gone down " He says walking towards Madhu .

Wiping her tears he wraps his arms around her shoulder and pulls her close to his chest as She snuggles close to his heart while wrapping her arms around his waist .

"Madhu"

She hums feeling comfortable in his hold ,

"I Love You My Princess's Mama ",

Madhu gets shocked hearing him as She looks up from the embrace to see him smiling at her "I Love You" He replies with high intensity looking into her eyes as A sob escapes her lips as she cries happily . Never had she thought that She would get his love .

"I Love You too My Princess's Papa" Madhu says Jumping on him locking her arms around his neck as He hugs her tightly .

They stand in the comfortable silence in each other's hold basking in the glory of ecstasy knowing that their love had been reciprocated .

"Thank You" He finally says

"For what?" She whispers raises her eyelashes

"For bringing Kriti to My World and For Coming along with her"

She stares at him and sees softness in his eyes. His eyes glistens in the moonlight . She looks down at his chest , afraid with the heated gaze of his . He runs his three fingers down her chin forcing her to looking into his eyes . She notices the myriad of feelings behind them , as If he was longing for something . He touches his forehead with hers and She feels the warmth . One that She has never experienced before . It Fills her body from head to toe , invigorating her and filling her with passion and hope that is powerful . He leans his head closer and his lips meet hers . Gentle but passionate, he presses more firmly into hers . The world around her slows , So She could be in this moment . Her heart flutters as She kisses him back , Cherishing the moment and him . His lips so soft and warm. He puts his hand on the back of her head ,pulling her more closer to him . They pull back and smile as She lays her head on his shoulder and even though She is still filled with the warmth from the kiss , She shivers as the chilly breeze touches her skin .

"You cold?" he asks and doesn't give her time to answer as he pulls her in with him .

Madhu steps into her room to Find Radha playing with her Baby who had woken up . Madhu feels remorseful but Rishab squeezes her hand assuring her all is fine

"I am Sorry Maaji" Radha nods with a smile and walks out leaving the couple alone with Kriti.

"Mama angry " Kriti says pouting and sitting on Rishab 's lap

Madhu pulls her ears asking sorry but Kriti turns her head the other way .

Rishab blinks at Madhu and whispers something in Kriti's ears .

Madhu looks at them intently and She smiles hearing them shrieking and pulling her to a hug

"Mama We Love You !"

Looking deep into each other's eyes Rishab asks softly in a whisper "Kriti?" ,

"In her room" she whispers flushed

She smiles through her tears hearing him asking her permission "More than anything!"

He leans down without any hesitation , they both slowly move in. their lips united together , her plump, velvety lips compelling against his slimmer ,warm ones , dancing around and soon bonding together .

In the meantime they never forget Kriti , Kriti would always be waiting for her Papa and Mama to get back from work and she would start ranting all the things she did from morning . Rishab would listen to her patiently as she would show different actions with her hands and eyes . Madhu would sit beside them hugging Rishab sideways as she too would listen to her Baby's talks .

Presently , Rishab was working on his laptop while Madhu was asleep . He was working on the quotation which was needed to grab the tender from Rathore industries .

Hearing someone tapping the door , Rishab wonders who is it ? Seeing the time showing 2 o'clock am .Making sure Madhu is sleeping not wanting to disturb her slumber . Rishab silently tip-toes and opens the door to Find His Little girl out .

"Papa" She calls him softly gesturing him to bend down.

Smiling he bends down chuckling at his little girl antics "Kriti" he tries to call but she shows her index finger placing it in her mouth asking him to be quiet .

He too places the index finger at his mouth and bends down quietly . Kriti wraps her hand around his neck and whispers " Papa I want Ish-cream (Ice-cream) ",

"But Mama" Rishab tries to shake his head in protest but her please melts him as he looks towards the bed to see Madhu still asleep . if Madhu knows He is dead .

"Mama no tell " She tells pinching her neck knowing her Mama would scold her if she had ice-cream.

Carrying her in his arm while closing the door without making a noise they tip-toe to the Kitchen quietly . Rishab places Kriti on top of the counter and walks towards the Fridge but his Face falls seeing not even one tub . Muku ! He scolds in his mind knowing it would Mukund who would have hogged everything .

He turns around to see her baby girl looking at him expectedly not wanting to break the little one's heart . He hoists her and says "Shall We have ice-cream out?"

Kriti nods squealing, Rishab cups her mouth asking her to be silent as she shakes her head agreeing . Rishab takes her to her room and makes her wear her baby pink sweater as he wraps a shawl around his neck and walks out with her .

Kriti kisses her Papa's cheeks hardly seeing him walking towards the ice-cream vendor . Rishab laughs seeing her excitement , He gets two cones one for him and his baby . Kriti licks the ice-cream and shuts her eyes letting out a squeak when the cold touches her lips . Rishab laughs seeing her reaction and places her on the bench in the park . Kriti pouts and crawls to her Papa's lap and has her ice-cream , it melts and is all over her hands and smeared over her face . Rishab has his while time to time looking down at the Little one who was trying to complete the cone .

After Finishing the Ice-cream Rishab sees her pouting showing her dress and her hands and faces which was sticky and irritating . Rishab pouts at her "What can we do?" ,

Kriti shows her hands "Papa new frock – this is stweky (sticky) " ,

Rishab laughs and puts his hands on his pant pocket as Kriti looks at him to know what her Papa is up to seeing him pulling out a frock and a sweater She smiles clapping her hands .

"I knew My Princess would be stewky (sticky) " Rishab repeats her words making her giggle at her Papa.

Rishab takes her towards the tap which was placed in the Park cleaning her , he removes her dirty clothes and dresses her up with the new ones.

Rishab seeing her looking at something excitedly , he follows her gaze to see her looking at the swing which was in the play area of the park . Smiling He carries his baby who had a fallen face thinking her Papa is taking her back home – sees her eyes widening happily as her Papa takes her towards the swing Rishab laughs kissing her .

He helps her swing as she giggles when the chilly breeze hits onto her face , then She points at the slide , Rishab and Kriti have a good time laughing and having fun and they decide to get back home .

Rishab did not expect to find his Jhansi Rani awake sitting in the hall glaring at him soon as he stepped in with Kriti.

"Where were you both?" Madhu asks

Kriti looking at her Mama scared says "Mama me no Papa take "

Rishab looks at His Little one disbelievingly seeing her putting all the faults on him.

Madhu starts scolding Rishab "she falls sick quickly how can you behave like a child taking her out to have ice-cream at this time?"

Rishab hangs his head guiltily as He was wrong here. Kriti who sees her Papa sad says "Mama Papa no bad me Bad – Me tell Papa take – No scold Papa " She says sadly resting her head on her Papa's shoulder .

A smile makes through Rishab 's face hearing his Baby's words . Madhu puffs out glaring and says "Couch" and leaves making Rishab 's face fall.

Rishab sleeps in the recliner widely awake with Kriti on top of him patting her to sleep . He tries to close his eyes to get some sleep only to find a palm holding his arm and snuggling close to him . He smiles and wraps his arm around Her and looks down .

"Don't think too much – I am angry " Madhu whispers faking her anger .

Rishab chuckles knowing She cannot sleep without him "punishment continues in the morning "

He hums in reply and hugs both his angels close to him thanking them silently For making His Heart Live Again" .
