--- Live Interview With Business magnate Rishab Kundra ---

Reporter - Mr. RK, can you brief about your childhood, schooling, your first business venture, etc.

RK (smirking)- Go! Type 'RK' in Google. You will find my life history in various websites.

(why the hell I agreed to give these guys an interview? Well, Bittuji was bugging me to give this interview in order to let the whole world know that the Rich & handsome Business Tycoon Rk is taken but these fools already irritated me a lot by arranging my seating positions, taking few exclusive snaps to put on their magazine cover & now asking silly question and wasting my time! f**k!)

Reporter - Recently you got married?

RK - Yep! Yesterday evening.

(Only Yesterday I got married & I didn't even get proper time to adore my beautiful wife but these guys encroached into my office & made me come here leaving my wife behind in my penthouse. Gah!)

Reporter - Is your marriage love or arranged?

RK - Love cum Arranged.

(What bothers you idiot? Love or arranged? Its my life!)

Reporter - So how is your married life going?

RK - Wonderful!

(God! I didn't even start my life. Just one day & its no time to judge how is my married life. So far so good! Hope it gets better & better)

Reporter - Who proposed first? You or Mrs. Kundra?

RK - Me!

(When will this interview gets over? I am feeling sleepy! Oh no! I have planned to take my wife for a candle light dinner.)

Reporter - Do you have any secrets Mr. Rk?

RK (smirking) - I am not a guy with dark past & fifty shades of secrets. I am so normal & cool guy

Reporter - Mrs. Kundra is your personal secretary...

RK - Was! She was my personal secretary & now she is my beautiful precious wife.

Reporter - Did she impress you at your very first meeting?

RK - Yes, she is a very smart, intelligent & beautiful girl so she pretty much impressed me on the very first day she joined my company as my secretary.

Reporter - What do you adore the most in her?

RK (Smiling) - She is one fine woman so I completely adore her.

Reporter - What you dislike about Mrs. Kundra?

RK - Her stubbornness! She can be really stubborn at times which annoys me a little but still I find it fascinating.

Reporter - Do you have any bad habits?

Rk - hmm... I don't know.

Reporter - Mrs. Kundra's has any bad habits?

RK - As far as I observed her she has this habit of biting her nails which I think is bad and she does that when she is nervous or upset.

(God! She bites her nails till it starts bleeding. That's her way to hide her panic or nervousness. I wish instead of doing that she could better shares her worries with her family & henceforth with me as I will be spending my entire life with her & I never want her to be upset or worried)

Reporter - Do you like Mrs. Kundra in Western or Indian outfits?

RK (frowning) - I love to see her in saree.

(Why this guy is asking personal details of my wife? I just wish this interview get over soon. But its a 30 minutes live interview & still 15 more minutes to go)

Reporter - Your favorite food?

RK - Dal, Roti, Chicken!

(And Scotch! I wanted to add but I didn't.)

Reporter - Do you read books?

Rk - Rarely. I don't get much time to read books.

Reporter - Your favorite book among the few books you have read?

RK - A.P.J Abdul Kalam's Autobiography 'Wings of Fire'

(I don't read romantic craps. That only suit for girls who dream of finding their prince charming who comes & sweep them off of their feet. Silly!)

Reporter - Your favorite movie?

RK - Fast & Furious!

(I remember Madhu asking the same question this morning after we had our breakfast together. I loved spending time with her. Even in lunch we shared lots of things like our childhood, my life in London, even we discussed about business, my upcoming ventures. She really helps me keep focused. I will work even harder to give her anything & everything her heart desires.)

Reporter - Your first Love?

RK (softly) - My high school girl friend Katherine

(Are these f**kers snooping around my house? How could they ask similar questions as that of Madhu's?)

Reporter - Does your wife know about it?

RK - About my first love? Yes she does.

Reporter - And her reaction?

RK - What? Well, she took it easy.

(What nonsense? She told me about her first crush & I told her about my first love & she was my only love till I met Madhu. That's all in our past & why would we get mad at each other or think otherwise?)

Reporter - Where are you both planning to go for honeymoon?

RK - Why? Are you going to follow us there too?

(And annoy us? f**k! Why this interview is dragging? I told Madhu I won't go to office today & spend my time with her but I am here giving this f**king interview. I just want to go to my Madhu & make sure she is okay in her new surrounding & know she is comfortable)

Reporter - What you hate the most?

RK (laughing) - Giving interviews!

(There! I have said it loud & clear. So wrap up this f**king interview & move your ass from my office premises, man)

Reporter - People who know you well depicts you as one rich arrogant controlling man, do you agree?

RK (glaring) - If anyone knows me so well then it will be only my wife Madhu & if she says the same colorful adjectives to describe me then I do agree, otherwise I don't care what the world says.

(The bas***d has some nerve to ask this shit as a question)

Reporter - Why your marriage happened in such a hurry & in small scale?

RK - We kept our wedding simple because that was what my wife wanted & I was willing to do anything for her & I wanted to start a new life with My Madhu as soon as possible & she was willing to do anything for me. You know we aim to please!

Reporter - One last question Mr. Kundra. We hope your wife is watching this live interview on TV so what you would like to say to your wife?

RK (Grinning) - I loved the Rajma Chawal you prepared for lunch, Biwi!

(If anything special I want to say to my wife then I will say it to her face to face in the privacy of our bedroom or in some romantic place & definitely not through a f**king media!)

--- * * * ---

"Hi" I say entering into our bed room where Madhu is sitting in front of the dresser table & brushing her long rich glossy hair.

"Hi" she smiles looking me through the mirror.

"Sorry, I got late"

"It's okay"

"Are you ready for the dinner?" I ask her.

"Um.. yeah"

"Well, good! Just give me ten minutes, I will take a quick shower & get dressed. Then we can leave"

"Okay" she says. I smile & walk to the walk in closet to grab my towel.

"Madhu? Can you pick me a dinner suit?" I ask.

"Sure" she smiles & walks towards the wardrobe & that's when I noticed her wearing blue saree with black border. My two favorite colors.

"You look stunning in this saree" I compliment her. She blushes cutely. I couldn't control the urge to run my finger through her hair to know how soft it would feel so I step closer & run my fingers up her cheek & set aside the loose strand of hair behind her soft ear, she leans to my touch & bites her lower lips in anticipation. Anticipating for what? My kiss? Well, I do really want to taste her sweet lips again. The kiss I gave her this morning is still lingering in my mind. Gosh! She stood like a deer caught in the head light when I kissed suddenly surprising her but soon she followed my lead & kissed me back. That was one hell of a kiss we shared which I would like to experience once again, right now but I don't want to scare her. She asked for space from me, from all the intimacy & I respect her & ready to wait.

"Your hair is so soft like silk. Never cut this beautiful hair short" I tell her softly with a smile. She nods shyly. God! Her shyness is driving me crazy!

"I will be back soon" I quickly peck on her cheek & rush to the bathroom not before seeing her stunned expression.

__0__

"Please" I pull the chair for Madhu to sit like a gentleman.

"Thanks" she smiles appreciating my gesture. I nod & take my seat opposite to her. I like the set up, dim blue bulbs, candles lit on each table, soft melodious music playing at the back. Perfect ambiance for a romantic date. I guess Madhu too likes it as she is wearing a pleasant smile on her face ever since we entered in to the restaurant.

"I was watching your interview on TV this evening" she says softly.

"Well?"

"It was good. I loved your witty answers"

"Oh! Thanks."

"You made me laugh hard at two places particularly" she says smiling.

"Oh really? I missed seeing you laugh. So what answer of mine made you laugh?" I ask smirking.

"Giving interviews & Rajma Chawal" she says pressing her lips to suppress her giggle.

"Trust me Madhu, I really hate giving interviews & I really wanted to say how much I loved the rajma chawl you prepared for us for lunch so I said" I tell her & take her hand which is resting on the glass dinner table. I really wanted to kiss her hand ever since I tasted such a tasty food. Her eyes popped out of her socket the moment I brushed my lips on her knuckles. She quickly looks around scandalized.

"Rishab..." she whispers wide eyed & tries to pull her hand away from my grasp but I tighten my grip clasping her hand in mine.

"Rishab, Please?" she pleads. I chuckle & let her hand go. She sighs visibly.

"Good evening lovely couple. Your order please, Sir, Ma'am" a waitress summons. I nod smiling & offer Madhu to order first.

"You don't eat non veg?" I ask Madhu. She has ordered veg caesar salad, Spinach & cheese roll, veg fried rice, mushroom curry & sparkling.

"Um... No. I don't eat non veg" she say hesitantly. The waitress takes note of her orders.

"Oh okay" I say & turn to the waitress to make the orders two.

"Very good, Sir" she bats her eyelashes at me. I frown & turn to Madhu who is sizing the waitress with her eyes.

"I guess she likes you" she whispers.

"Pretty face, Baby" I wink at her. She blushes.

"Um... you do eat non veg right?" she asks.

"Yes, I do" I reply.

"Um... then why you didn't order... um... non veg?"

"Simply" I shrug. I don't think it would be nice eating non veg in front of someone who doesn't eat it.

"I really don't mind you eating. In fact I will soon learn to cook non veg for you to eat"

"Oh darling! That's so sweet of you but please don't bother. You cook vegetarian food with which you are comfortable & I will have non veg from outside whenever I feel like" I smile.

"Thanks, Rishab" she smiles relieved. I smile too.

Then our orders arrive & we start eating. I really like her choice of foods, very light & healthy.

"Would you mind if I order a glass of white wine?" I ask her.

"No, I don't" she whispers & I order for a glass of crispy white wine.

"Rishab..."

"Yes" I set my spoon down & look u at her.

"You said in the interview that I was your secretary & what does that mean?"

"It's mean exactly what I said" I reply not understanding her concern. She frowns.

"I would like to work, Rishab"

"What's the need for you to work? Its not like we are short of a penny? You know the bottom line of my balance sheet right?" I ask looking her straight. She stares at me blankly. "I earn in millions, Madhu & that will keep the next ten generations of ours rich & luxurious" I state matter of fact.

"It's not that, Rishab"

"Madhu, lets discuss about this later. Right now I want to enjoy our dinner, wouldn't you say so?" I ask. She nods & picks on her food.

"You are not going to eat?" I ask.

"I am full" she says curtly & sets the spoon down. What's wrong with her? Have I offended her?

"Madhu..."

"Shall we go home?" she asks. I nod & quickly ask the waitress to bring our bill & I hand her my credit card.

Madhu sits in complete silence in the passenger side.

I couldnt take the silence anymore so I initiate the conversation "so you liked the dinner?"

"Yes"

"You wanna hear any music?"

"Hmm..."

I switch on the mp3 player set in the car & we are clouded with pleasant piano music.

"Do you really think I am arrogant & controlling like others think?" I ask.

"Yes" she snaps & looks outside the window. Ouch! That hurts. But cant help being so. My arrogant attitude & my control freakry nature brought me to the place where I am. But I know to love & I will show my love to Madhu & make her fall for me too.

Her answers are monosyllabic for all my questions. Our special dinner night didnt go as I envisaged it to be. She is brooding over the job issue. I don't get why she needs to continue as my secretary when she is the boss of the company. Everything mine is hers now. I want to treat her like a queen & definitely not an employee. I will talk to her later & try to reason her. She is a smart girl & I am sure she will understand things.
