Part – 49

3 Months later,

Mumbai Airport, India

"Flash off, guys! My daughter is sleeping" Rk said in an irritated tone to the effervescent paparazzi. With one hand he held Ruhi securely and let her sleep on his shoulder and with other hand he held Madhu's hand firmly. Bittuji had gone to collect their luggage. Even he had come to India with them to make sure they settle here comfortably and also to find a suitable manager for RK who would replace him.

After that, he would leave back to France to take care of 'Amour' café. Roma would be handling the bouquet. Madhu's assistant Linda agreed to look after the dance school. Their penthouse was kept vacant so that they could use it whenever they vacation to France.

"Rk sir! Ek (one) photo! Ek photo!"

"Rk sir! Madhubala ji!"

"Rk sir, we missed you!"

Some fans cheered.

"Rk sir, we love you!"

"Rk sir kya aap film industry mein vaapas aa gae hain?" (Are you returning to film industry, Rk sir?)

"agar aap film industry mein vaapas aate hain to aapake fans ko bahut khushee hogee" (If you return to film industry your fans will be so happy) 

"Sir, please, jawaab den" (Sir, please, give us answer) 

"haan, main vaapas aa gaya hoon" (Yes, I'm back) Rk roared. 

"ab, hamaare liye raasta chhod do" (Now, leave way for us to go) 

But they weren't ready to let them go. They hounded them with their questions. 

 "Rk sir, kya madhubaala ji aapake saath film mein kaam karane ja rahee hai?" (Rk sir is Madhubala-ji going to work with you in movies?" 

"Papa" Ruhi stirred in his arm and lifted her head up. She covered her eyes with her little hands as if shielding them from the flashes. 

 "Badhai ho guys, aap log ne successfully meree betee ko jaga liya hai" he said sarcastically. (Congratulations guys, you people have successfully woken up my daughter) 

"Rk sir, ek family photo?" 

 "Go back to sleep, baby" Madhu gently patted Ruhi's back but she was in no mood to sleep now.  

"Ruhi baby iss taraph dekho (Ruhi baby look this side)" a photographer shouted from the crowd.

"Baby, left side dekho" 

Ruhi sat comfortably in her daddy's arm and turned towards her left to pose for that photographer. She placed her right hand over her daddy's shoulder and waved her left hand to the crowd. She even threw them flying kisses. 

 "Your daughter is already stealing your limelight" Madhu whispered to Rk. He threw his head back and laughed for that comment. 

 "I don't care. I will only feel proud of her." he said and tightly kissed Ruhi's chubby cheeks.

 "Aww... so cute" someone gushed from the crowd. 

"Rk sir aapkee beti bilkul aap jaise dikhatee hai" (Rk sir your daughter looks exactly like you)

"Rishab Kundra ki beti Rishab Kundra ki tarah hi dikhegi" he said with a tight smile. (Rishab Kundra's daughter will look like Rishab Kundra only) "Ranbir Kapoor ki tarah woh dikhegi nahi" he mocked. (She won't look like Ranbir Kapoor)

"You could have simply said a thank you for that compliment, Rk" Madhu hissed at him, maintaining a smile on her face.

"Simple people will only give simple answers. Rk is not simple. Rk is extraordinary." Rk replied to her with a wink. She rolled her eyes.

"Rk sir aapkee betee bahut pyaaree hai" (Rk sir, your daughter is so cute) 

"Woh mujhe pata hai. Aap mujhe kuchh batao jo mujhe nahin pata" (I know that. You tell me something which I don't know?) 

 "Madhubala ji bahut sundar hai" (Madhubala ji is so beautiful) a guy commented, eying Madhu with lust.

"Woh bhee mujhe pata hai" (That also I know) Rk said through gritted teeth as he glared at the pervert who made such remark. "aur yahee kaaran hai ki mainne usse shaadi kee hai" (And that's the reason why I have married her) He reminded the perverted guy that he was commenting and eying on his wife.

"What? You have married me only because I am beautiful?" Madhu hissed, glaring at him. 

He just said that to the media for fun but she's taking it seriously as if they are really married? He thought, smirking. 

"Yes, you're beautiful inside-out, my dear baby momma!" he whispered only for her to hear. 

"Oh really, baby daddy?" she asked barely hiding her blush. He smiled and bending his head down he kissed her temple making the shutterbugs go crazy.

Next day,

"Papa... wake up nah?" Ruhi gently tapped Rk's back as he was sleeping on his front. "Papa..." she climbed on his back and leaned closer to his ea. "... I want to tell you something" she said in a secretive tone. 

"hmm" he groaned sleepily. 

"Papa, open your eyes" she gently poked his eyelid with her index finger. "Open. Open" she poked twice. 

"Let me sleep, honey" 

"I'm bored" she said sadly placing her cheek on his cheek. 

"Who asked you to wake up at 6, baby? You should have slept longer." he held her hand and gave it a gentle tug. She rolled down from his back and laid beside him. "No probs! You sleep with papa now" he pushed his arm under her head and cocooned her. 

"Papa, wake up, please" she pleaded holding her daddy's cheeks with her soft palms and kissed his nose tip.

"Baby, play with momma for a while. Papa will join you shortly." he was jet lagged and he needed rest.

"Mama is baa-thing" she said and pull a lock of Rk's hair.

"Ahha"

"Papa, I don't like this..."

"Even I don't like you pulling my hair"  he combed his precious hair with his fingers.

"Papa" she whined.

"You don't like what? Sleeping?" he asked.

"Hmm... that too"

"Then what else you don't like?"

"This house" 

"Why, baby?" he lifted his upper body a little and looked at her.

"It's not big" she said, cutely pouting. Rk burst out laughing. He thought so too. Their apartment was nothing like his mansion he once had in Mumbai or the penthouse they have in Paris.

"Don't laugh, papa" she slapped his mouth, angrily. She hated when people laugh at her that too when she was talking something serious.

"Sorry"

"There's no indoor pool. There's no playroom.  There's no movie room. There's nothing" Ruhi complained with eyes full of tears.

"Aww... Sweetie! Don't cry. We will find someother house..."

"Really?"

He nodded his head.

"Okay" she smiled and quickly jumped out of the bed.

He sighed and flopped back on the bed to resume his sleep.

"Papa!" Ruhi yelled a moment later.

"What now, honey?"

"Come on! Let's go find... New house." She had gone to take her backpack.

"Come on!" She yelled again.

"But what about momma?"

"Leave her. We'll go, papa"

"Where are you guys going?" Madhu asked stepping out of the bathroom tying her bathroom securely.

"Ruhi doesn't like this house ah so we are going to find a new house. Right, baby?"

"Yeah, yeah" Ruhi nodded her head.

"What's wrong with this house?" Madhu asked with a frown.

"Madhu, there is no swimming pool..."

"This apartment is close to beach. When you have a God damn natural pool out there then why would you need an indoor pool?"

"Beach?" Ruhi asked excitedly.

"Yeah, from the balcony you could see the beach, lil missy. And daily evening, Mama will take you there for playing. Cool?"

"Aw-zum! I love beach." Ruhi jumped and clapped her hands.

"Madhu but there is no playroom for Ruhi..."

"It's a 5 bedroom apartment, Rk" she told him if he hadn't noticed. "... we will get one room ready for her. Just give me a couple of days time."

"What about movie room?"

"We will be taking her with us, right? She can watch live shooting"

"What, momma?"

"Shooting"

"Shoo...shooting what? Ducks?" She asked remembering the 'Duck hunt' video game she plays with her daddy.

Rk and Madhu laughed.

"Don't laugh" she cried. It makes her feel foolish.

"Alright! Alright!" Rk kissed her cheeks pacifying her.

"Papa and mama are going to act and you will watch that, baby"

"Don't act! Don't act!" Ruhi shook her head and hands frantically. "Be real. Be real." She begged clasping her hands.

Rk and Madhu laughed again.

"Oh my baby, you are so adorable" Madhu said hugging Ruhi.

"Momma, papa will act in movies, not in real life, honey" Rk explained.

"Movies? Ruhi too act movies?" Ruhi asked in glee.

"You wanna act in movies?" Rk asked.

"Yeah, yeah" she smiled showing her little teeth.

"Alright! You will act in movies once you're grown up to a beautiful woman like momma, okay?"

"Okie" Ruhi agreed and kissed on Rk's cheeks, nose, eyes and forehead.

"Why do I get so much love today, sweetheart?" Rk asked hugging her.

"You always get so much love from her" Madhu said wuth a pout.

"And you will get so much love from me" he tugged her hand and she fell on the bed. He hugged both his girls and kissed them in turns.

"I shouldn't have let Bittuji find a place for us. I myself should have done the job." He cribbed after they were done showing affection. "Now, see, my daughter doesn't like this place"

Madhu glared at him. "Is it Ruhi or you?"

"What?"

"You don't like this apartment, right?"

"It's kinda small" he shrugged.

"But definitely bigger than your shit-hole apartment you stayed in Paris" she snapped.

"There, I was an ordinary guy. Here, I am a superstar... so obviously everything should be grand!" He leaned his back against the headboard and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Rk, we have decided to stay here till we build our dream home, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Then what?"

"Ruhi doesn't like this house!"

"Don't do this Rk!" She scolded him and then turning towards Ruhi she said "Baby, come here"

When Ruhi ran to her, she scooped her up and made her stand on the bed. "Ruhi, you can ask for anything and everything you like..."

"Cool, mama" Ruhi grinned widely.

"...but you won't get them all so be prepared not to get disappointed"

"Why?" Ruhi's face fell. "Papa will get me everything"

"Right, baby. Gimme a five."

"Yay!" She shrieked and hi-fied with her daddy.

Madhu sighed tiredly. "I can even make this little one understand things but not you, you grown up baby!" Saying that she walked back to the dressing room.

"Don't mind her, honey" he said to his daughter and winked.

"You too, papa" Ruhi said with a giggle and winked... Nah, blinked both her eyes, cutely.

"My jaana" Rk kissed her.

"My papa" Ruhi kissed him back.

"I should be the only man you ever kiss, okay baby?"

"Okie, papa" she kissed him again.

"Shall we sleep now?"

Before Ruhi could deny, Madhu shouted from the dressing room "No more sleeping! Go, get ready, Rk. You said we have a press meet at 11 right?"

"Fine, momma" he shouted back. "Your momma is bossy" he whispered to Ruhi. She laughed nodding her head in agreement.

"Chief, this is Sunny, my distant cousin's son. I thought he could be your personal assistant from now on" Bittuji said.

Rk took Bittuji's phone from his shirt pocket and threw it at that boy but he missed to catch it.

"Chief! My phone!" Bittuji shrieked. He got a mini attack seeing his phone broken phone.

"This boy won't fit to be my P.A"

"Why, Chief?"

"Do you know why I have you with me all these years?"

"No!"

"Because you swiftly catch my phone whenever I threw it at you"

"Oh"

"He is poor at it" Rk said looking down at Bittuji's poor phone. "Ask him to leave and find me someone who is better at catching skill" he dismissed.

"Sir, I thought you would ask about myself, my educational qualification... Uh...I wasn't expecting you to throw a phone..." Sunny tried to explain. "Sir, please try me again. This time I'll catch it without dropping." As soon as he said that a ball hit his face and he missed to catch it as well.

But this time it was Ruhi! She only threw the ball at him.

Ruhi came running to Sunny and held his hand making him look down at her.

"Sorry" she apologised for accidentally throwing that ball at him.

"It's okay" Sunny said with a smile and patted her head. 

"See, even now you missed to catch this silly ball" Rk shook his head as if Sunny was useless.

"Papa!" Ruhi held her hands out for him to take her. Once he picked her up in his arms she whispered something in his ear.

"Bittuji hire him" Rk ordered.

"Chief? You sure?"

"My daughter likes him." That was what she secretly told to her daddy.

"Thank you, Sir. Thank you, baby" Sunny said.

"You play with me, okay?" She asked cutely.

"Sure" he agreed with a smile.

"Looks like he is not going to be my P.A. but Ruhi's babysitter." Rk commented.

"Babysitter?" Sunny panicked. He had never taken care of a child before.

"Handling Ruhi baby is easy. She won't trouble you at all. She is such a sweet child." Bittuji reassured him. Sunny believed his words. "She looks sweet and shy only" he thought.

Rk gaped at Bittuji in horror.

"Handling Ruhi is easy? Whoa! What a big fat lie he's saying?" Rk thought.

Press meet at Sitara Studio,

"Firstly, welcome back, Rk sir." A lady reporter said. "mere samet aapkee sabhee fans ko aapkee vaapasee se bahut khush hain" (all your fans including me are so happy with your come back)

"Thank you. Even me..." He was talking when suddenly Ruhi reached for the table top mike and pulled it down to her level. She was sitting on her daddy's lap and she already got bored.

She should have listened to her momma and stayed with Bittuji in the caravan but she didn't. She started crying so Rk had to take her along with him to the press meet.

"You wanna say something, honey?" Rk asked. She shook her head and gave him a shy smile. He planted a kiss on top of her head before taking his phone from the table.

"Baby, play with this" Rk gave her the phone and adjusted the mike to his level.

"Well, I am really delighted to connect with my fans once again through this movie" Rk said with genuine happiness shining in his eyes.

"But sir, what is the actual reason behind your come back?"

"If you have asked for a reason I would have said "my fans" which is partly true but you have smartly asked the 'actual' reason so I am going to be honest here. The actual reason is "my wife". I am back to the film industry to launch her. So yeah, I am making all the rumored news official here. Rishab Kundra and Madhubala Rishab Kundra are going to do a movie together. This will be our first of many movies acting together."

"So how this happened?"

"This what? The movie?"

"Ji sir"

"Jab Dipali met Madhubala this movie happened"

Everyone laughed at his reply.

"hansane ke lie kuchh bhee nahin hai, doston!" (There is nothing to laugh, friends)

"Dipali, why don't you tell them how and when you have decided to make a movie with us?" Rk passed the question to Dipali.

"Well, I have been to Paris with my last movie crew to shoot a song sequence. There I met my Hero Rk..." Dipali glanced at Rk before continuing "... And his heroine Madhubala."

"Ek minute. Ek clarification. Mein Madhubala ka real life hero aur Dipali ka reel life hero hoon." He didn't want the reporters to write some shit about him and Dipali. "And Madhubala mera reel heroine, real heroine, aur sab kuchh hai." He confessed that she was his everything. Madhu smiled at him.

"Well, the moment I saw her in her dance school I knew she was the best fit for this movie and I broached this topic with Rk. He convinced his wife to act and she convinced him to act again." She briefed. "Oh, by the way she is a fine dancer"

"Madhubala ji whether you always wanted to become an actress or this is an unexpected turn of events?"

"Yes, I always wanted to become an actress. It's my dream but that dream coming true now is really unexpected" Madhu replied.

"Rk sir, why it took you so long to give this big break to your wife?" A curious reporter fished for story.

"This little one happened too soon..." Rk gently lifted Ruhi off his lap and showed to the reporters before placing her back.

Ruhi looked up at her daddy, confused, for a second before paying her attention back to the phone in her hands.

"...and after that lot of drama happened." He paused a moment. He didn't want to go into further details. "It took us time to sort our issues..." Again he paused.

"Even now Madhu is little hesitant. She feels our daughter is still a baby and she needs her momma's proper care and attention... But I feel it's the high time she takes a step towards her dream."

"Seems like she is not taking any step on her own but simply riding on your back to achieve her dream?" One oldie arrogant reporter asked.

Bastard! Rk thought as he held Madhu's hand tightly in his.

"Haan toh? What's wrong in that? When star kids can easily step in to Bollywood with their parents' influence then why not a star's wife step in with her husband's influence?" Rk retorted shutting that oldie reporter's mouth.

"Usakee entry aasaan ho saktee hai lekin usakee yaatra kathin hogee" (Her entry maybe easy but her journey will be tough) he said out of his personal experience.

"Sir do you think she will survive in this industry where there is cut-throat competition?" A young lady reporter asked in a polite tone.

"She will survive if she has acting talent... and that we will know only after the movie gets released!" Rk replied politely and honestly.

"Ji sir...but she is married and has a child..."

"Still young and beautiful and strong and talented woman she is!" He emphasized each and every word.
"So please don't try to cut her wings and defeat her confidence. Let her fly, guys."

"agar aapakee biwi phir se pregnant ho jaatee hai to aap kya karenge? phir se aap film industry aur bhaarat chhod denge?" The same oldie reporter asked mockingly. (If your wife gets pregnant again what will you do? Will you again quit film industry and leave India?)

"mein pehale aapako mithaee khilaoonga (I will first feed you sweets) if she gets pregnant again" he replied sweetly but he so wanted to slap that guy for being such a nuisance. "And I won't quit film industry but surely will take a break to take care of my wife and the baby. Oh and we will be spending some time in France where we have a holiday home but we will never leave India permanently." He said with conviction  "Have I answered all your..." bakwas "...questions?" He bit back that word bakwas (nonsense)

That reporter nodded his head.

"Good! Agar kisee ke paas koee achchha savaal hai to poochhen." (If anyone has any good question then ask)

"Madhubala ji, you are going to act with The Superstar Rk..."

"Yeah"

"How do feel about that?"

Before Madhu could reply Rk piped in. "I think she will feel comfortable acting with her husband" he stressed the word 'husband'. He was not a superstar to her. All his attitude, arrogance and starry tantrums were towards irritating people, not towards his family.

Then he gestured her to speak.

"To be honest, I am really thrilled to act with Rk." She said looking at the press people and then cranked her neck to her side to look at Rk. He was already looking at her with a smile. "If becoming a heroine is my big dream then becoming Rk's heroine is my biggest dream. I am his fan No.1"

"I knew it, sweetheart" Rk said with a smirk.

"Me fan No.2" Ruhi showed her index and middle fingers to her daddy and he kissed them.

"Dipali ma'am, what genre this movie is?"

"Romantic-Thriller"

"What's the title? When are you starting the shooting? And when you have planned to release this movie?"

"First schedule shooting starts next friday and only then we will reveal the title and first look. We are planning to released this movie next year, most likely on Valentine's day" the producer of this movie Mr. Bhatia, Dipali's father replied.

"I think time's up" Rk said checking his wrist watch.

"Sir, one last question?"

"Sure"

"What would you like to say to your fans?"

"Guys, I am back as you all wished. Happy? Well, I am really happy because I am going to entertain you again on big screen along with my wife this time." He said and thought for a second. "I have a lot more to say to them but I don't think this is the right medium. I better tweet them or go live on Instagram." saying that he looked down at his daughter. "Shall we pack up?" he asked in a whisper. 

"Yay! Pack up!" Ruhi screamed in joy.

After this meeting, her daddy and mommy had promised to take her to beach and that was the reason for her joy.

... To be continued!

I am satisfied with this update and I liked it. What about you guys?

Do you think our superstar Rk is back with his same old arrogance and attitude?

Did you enjoy Ruhi's scenes? Isn't she cute as ever?

I really want Bittuji to be Rk's P.A. but... He can't. He is a married man now so he has to stay with his wife in France. So I brought in Sunny as Rk's P.A. and our Ruhi likes him. Um... Do you guys like him?
