TS: Fight with Destiny, Epilogue, Pg 20 - Updt on 1/18/2014

Turmoil, it seems it has latched onto to him and is happily feeding off him like a parasite. Trouble just seems to follow him like an awestruck fan. RK roughly pushes his hair off his forehead and sighs in frustration. It has been exactly two weeks since he was nearly stabbed to death due to his team's carelessness. Though he is recovering well, it is very frustrating that he still hasn't recovered fully. The wound and the resulting stiffness, the thumping pain along with doctor's orders to take it easy is just simply making him cagey. More so than usual, his temper is always on the surface. Ready to ferociously fight and bite off anyone's head brave enough to be near a wounded, angry lion.

RK sighs again in frustration as guilt settles on his bones in place of blinding anger. Once again he has yelled at his biwi, his Madhu, and made her cry. But damn! The woman can be so infuriatingly frustrating! He has noticed Madhu's odd behavior since he woke up from the coma. One minute she is ready to throw herself into his arms and in another she is cold and distant. He knows she is feeling immense guilt due to the stabbing. And he has done all he could to reassure her that it was just a freak accident and she's not at fault. But biwi is just plain stubborn!

But guilt or not, RK does not understand and refuses to understand why Madhu is keeping her distance from him. Dammit! They just finished shooting a romantic scene for the movie and he thought it would be the perfect opportunity to thaw her ice. But no biwi just pushed his hands away and walked off. He tried to control his Incredible Hulk like temper but in vain. RK stalked off after Madhu, fooling himself that it is with the intention of "discussing" her issues. But once the green monster is out, reasoning and having a discussion is OUT, and shouting and stomping is IN. Just as usual, the ground shaking, roof top raising, shouting match left biwi in a pool of tears.

The guilt sets deeper into RK's bones as he remembers his tear strained face. It pricks his heart that he has once again hurt his Madhu, though unintentionally. Only 20 minutes has passed since the fight, but it feels like hours, days. RK had screamed for pack up and on his way home when it hits him that he should not have yelled at Madhu. He knows that she is still in shock and should have been more understanding.

RK stands in front of the green room, his hand hesitantly poised to open the door. As he stands there, he internally debates how to handle the situation, how to bring his sweet, caring, loving Madhu back. He reaches out to turn the door knob but it is opened from the other side.

Roma faces RK and glares back at him, her eyes ready to shoot rays at him and burn him alive. She immediately shuts the door behind, not giving RK the opportunity to enter. Roma Malik, aptly Lady Bhim, has a lot to say to this fire breathing Superdragon. For two weeks now, she has seen her Glycerine take verbal abuses and she has not done much. Well that is about to change!

Roma quietly signals RK to follow her, as she does not wish for Madhu to hear and become even more distraught. Though RK would rather go in and speak to Madhu, he quietly and obediently follows Roma. Perhaps he can get some insight into her behavior. They enter his changing room and face each other, one ready to combat.

Roma (places hands on her hips and glares): Superstar...I have half a mind to take Madhu away to live with me so she can get some peace and quiet!

RK (crosses his arms and glares back): Don't you even dare Roma! She's MY BIWI and she is not going ANYWHERE.

Roma (snaps): Well bloody well act like her husband! Stop shouting at her and making her cry at every opportunity.

RK (frustrated): Dammit! She's my biwi...you think I enjoy hurting her, making her cry? But why the hell is she drifting away from me? Is it because of guilt? I am tired of explaining to her that she was not at fault. Madhu needs to snap out of it!

Roma (claps her hands): Waah...! Superdragon...(sarcastically) Superstar RK has spoken. If he says snap out of it then biwi should salute, nawh, bow down and immediately follow his orders. (Angrily) Do you have any idea what she went through while you were in coma? Any idea?!?

RK (sighs): Roma...I know...

Roma (interrupts): No you don't know! You don't have a damn clue how she felt to know that you were hurt with a knife, by her own hands. The pain she felt that she stabbed her own husband.

RK (shouts): She was acting a scene and the fake knife just turned out to be the real deal. How the hell is it her fault?

Roma (snaps): You think I didn't try to calm her down and explain it to her? But your (sarcastically) very loving family took turns blaming my Glycerine for putting you nearly on your deathbed.

RK (alert): What do you mean? Did Pabho say something to Madhu?

Roma (angrily): Yes! Your darling Pabho claimed that she knew she wasn't wrong about Glycerine's nakshatra, that she will bring about your destruction. My Glycerine can't even harm a fly and she will bring about her own husband's destruction? Is that any sort of thing to say to a woman already distraught and traumatized? Ohh but your darling Pabho wasn't done. She told YOUR BIWI that she should have taken the knife and stabbed herself for trying to almost kill you?

RK (clenches his fists in anger): Pabho said that to my Madhu?

Roma (continues): Yes...you're Pabho didn't leave any opportunity to verbally abuse my Glycerine. Even Radhaji held her responsible for your condition.

RK (shocked): Maa?

Roma (tears in her eyes): I thought Radhaji loved my Madhu like a daughter. But that day she proved me wrong, she sees Madhu as nothing more than just a daughter-in-law. Forget daughter-in-law, she doesn't even consider Glycerine as a human being! She was frantically praying to Bappa to save your life and I was about to join her but Radhaji approached her and...and...SHE SLAPPED HER!

RK (shouts angrily): Maa slapped my Madhu?!?

Roma (continues): She accused Glycerine of being responsible for EVERY SINGLE bad thing that has happened to you since you two met. She broke my Glycerine's heart and I could do nothing but stand from a far and be horrified. How can Radhaji accuse her of being responsible for things that were not even in her control? How can her nakshatra be bad when her heart is so pure? As if that wasn't enough, they wouldn't even allow Glycerine to see you. And that jethani of yours...Dipali...what is her problem, huh? How dare she make Glycerine feel guiltier for not checking the knife during the scene? Who the hell is she to say anything? As if your family's torture wasn't enough, Glycerine braved the media and put up with disrespectful and hurtful questions. She put up with the fans rage because they held her responsible. Police interrogated and arrested her, sealing that she is guilty in her mind. No one let her be in peace, everyone accused her. Now you tell me how is she supposed to react, be when these wolves attacked my an innocent, vulnerable lamb? Huh? Do you have anything to say RK? (At RK's silence) I didn't think so. I am warning you Superstar...don't you dare hurt my Glycerine again. (Imparts, as she walks away) And for goodness sake be a husband and save her from the vultures in your family!

RK's mind is reeling with the information that Madhu went through so much yet didn't utter a word to him. For a moment, his anger is directed at her for keeping quiet. But quickly it reverts to his family. He thinks, derisively, what family? His is mostly a bunch of hooligans it seems. Even the ones he thought want what is best for him. RK feels betrayed. His Pabho and maa tried to separate him from his life, because of bad nakshatra. He doesn't give a flip about such nonsensical superstition. His Madhu can never be his destruction. She is his salvation. Enough of sitting idly, it's time to show his parasitical family that anyone who attacks his biwi becomes his enemy. Right Kameena is back and ready to set the world on fire. Ahaan.
