बैड बॉयज (लव एडिशन) - Chapter 2

Dixit Mansion felt very empty after Rushali left.<br />

The only sound in the house was the loud crying of a child.<br />

In the hall of the house, a diya was burning in front of Rushali's photograph, and Rishabh was sitting there, holding Rohan in his lap.<br />

The child was crying so much, but Rishabh's attention was elsewhere. There were no tears left for crying.<br />

"Rishabh, what are you doing? At least pay attention to the child?" Mark said with mild annoyance.<br />

It was as if Rishabh hadn't heard him.<br />

Sighing coldly, Mark took Rohan into his lap and started feeding the child with the milk bottle he had brought.<br />

When Rohan's crying stopped suddenly, Mark remembered, "Where is Rishabh?"<br />

When he didn't get a response from Rishabh, Mark suppressed his anger.<br />

Due to crying so much, Rohan fell asleep in Mark's lap while drinking milk. Mark took him upstairs to a room.<br />

Rushali had probably made all the preparations for the child's arrival beforehand. She had even decorated the cradle.<br />

After laying Rohan in it, Mark quietly stepped back and said, "Sweet dreams, baby."<br />

Rohan looked very cute while sleeping. He was an exact replica of Rishabh. Seeing him, Mark couldn't stop himself from smiling.<br />

Suddenly, he remembered Rishabh and quickly went out of the room.<br />

He went downstairs and started calling out for Rishabh.<br />

In the meantime, he had passed by Rishabh twice, but Rishabh had not reacted.<br />

Mark grumbled angrily, "This is your way. If I'm here, you put everything on me. If I wasn't here, what would you have done? How would you have managed the children? You just had them, don't you have any responsibility?"<br />

He was speaking in a voice that Rishabh could hear as he wandered around.<br />

Rishabh blinked slowly and, without saying anything, got up from his place and started walking towards the gallery at the back of the house.<br />

Mark's eyes narrowed, "What? Where are you going now?"<br />

When Rishabh didn't reply, Mark followed him.<br />

Rishabh saw Rishabh huddled behind a large planter.<br />

He went and knelt in front of Rishabh, "Rishabh!"<br />

Hearing the voice, Rishabh brought out his face, hidden in his knees.<br />

With his own hand, the little child had given fire to his mother.<br />

How could he not be sad? Although he was very young, he understood enough that his mother was gone and would never return.<br />

"Where did Mommy go, Daddy?" Rishabh suddenly hugged Rishabh and said.<br />

Rishabh let out a cold sigh and said with great difficulty, "Mommy has gone to God."<br />

"Will she never come back?" Rishabh asked the next question.<br />

But Rishabh had no answer now. He picked up Rishabh and went inside the house.<br />

In the meantime, he passed by Mark, but he behaved as if Mark wasn't there at all.<br />

Mark's forehead creased, "What happened to him? What is he angry at me for? Is it because I scolded him about managing the child?"<br />

The very next moment, he pulled his hair and went after Rishabh to pacify him.<br />

This boy had strange tantrums. One couldn't tell when he would be fine and when he would be angry.<br />

<br />

Rishabh ate a little of the food made by Mark, which was quite difficult for him. Finally, Rishabh took Rishabh to his room and put him to sleep, where Rohan was already sleeping.<br />

As soon as Rishabh turned back, Mark was in front of him.<br />

"Rishabh, are you angry?" Mark felt it was most important to pacify him. Always!<br />

Rishabh paid no attention to him. He wanted to go freshen up, but Mark blocked his way.<br />

Rishabh let out a cold sigh and said, "Mark, go back to your club. I don't need you. You don't need to do anything for me and then hold it over me again."<br />

Mark's face turned dark. He suddenly gripped Rishabh's arms tightly, "What did you say? You don't need me?"<br />

Rishabh squeezed his eyes shut in pain, and Mark immediately let go.<br />

"I'm not doing you any favor. You and Rushali are both my best friends. My friend made me promise that I would take care of all three of you. That's why I'm not going anywhere from here," Mark explained directly. He just didn't want a fight. Otherwise, he wasn't behind in getting angry.<br />

"Friends? Why are you tarnishing this relationship? Have you ever fulfilled your friendship from your side? You just became great by sacrificing," Rishabh said with a sarcastic smile.<br />

Mark's throat went dry. The next moment, he grabbed Rishabh's hand, led him to the balcony, and closed the door, "So Rushali told you everything?"<br />

"Yes, she told me everything, and now I understand that your constant flirting was not a joke. You felt for me. Always? Unbelievable!" Rishabh said in slight anger.<br />

"Listen Rishabh, don't try to mess with my head by blaming me. I've stayed within my limits. If Rushali had any problem with me, she would have told me to stay away from you earlier. But she never did. Because she trusted you more than me.<br />

Whatever love or liking it is, it's my problem. It didn't bother you before, and it won't bother you in the future. After today, I will be careful and stay away from you. Just let me stay here for the children. Because if I leave them to you, who knows what you'll do," Mark finished in one breath. He didn't want Rishabh to misunderstand him or hate him.<br />

Then Rishabh said, "I didn't intend to say all this. I... I have no problem with our friendship. We can continue to be as we were before. But I can't do what Rushali said. I just love her. You are my friend, Mark. I don't have those kinds of feelings for you."<br />

Mark stopped him with a hand gesture, "I know that very well. There's no need to explain now. Forget whatever Rushali said, and don't force yourself.<br />

I know that after knowing my feelings, you won't be able to be with me as before. Maybe you even feel disgusted by me?"<br />

"No... no, not at all. Please don't think anything," Rishabh extended his hand towards him.<br />

But Mark took a step back, "I don't care what you think. I'm not going anywhere from here. Go eat something and sleep downstairs. I'm with the children."<br />

Mark said and returned to the room. Rishabh watched him with empty eyes.<br />
