The Binding String

S I X T Y - O N E

Why she left alone at every stage of life? Sometimes she ponder over her thoughts, but find nothing in the answer. She wiped the beads of the perspiration from her neck and walked towards the exit, she is not allowed to drive the car nowadays and now she need to book a cab for herself. It's already a heating month of May, the afternoon sun can leave one dehydrated in no time. She covered her forehead trying to book taxi for herself.

"Hi beautiful!!" Ishita looked at other side and found two faces grinning at her. She held Romi hand who helped her in walking towards their car followed by his friend Sarika. She sat on the passenger seat and Romi adjusted the air conditioner of thr car as he started to drive back to home.

"Bhabhi why you left alone? Princess kya sochegi mere baare mei?" Ishita chuckled looking at her ninteen years old brother in law who was making baby faces. Ishita waved her hand at Sarika, Romi new friend who was sitting on the backseat. She made herself comfortable on backseat and took water bottle from Sarika as the car came into life.

"Tumhe kaise pata chala?"

"I have inbuilt detective inside me." Romi made funny faces making Ishita giggle. Romi asked the driver to stop the car infront of coconut vendor and picked three coconuts, "Bhabhi have this." Ishita stretched her legs and started to sip coconut water enjoying the soft music playing on stereo. Romi paid money to the vendor and fished out his phone and typed something in a rush before keeping it back.

I have picked Bhabhi and she had coconut water as well.

Bye!

The driver ignited the engine where Romi kept his phone back, enjoying the refreshing coconut water. Romi adjusted the speed of air conditioner and looked at his bhabhi through rear view mirror and satisfied seeing a relaxing smile on her face.

Good. Take her back safely and don't forget to buy her medicines.

"Bhabhi give me your prescription. I will buy medicines." Ishita shook her head and handed the prescription to Romi, she adore her brother in law Romi from the day she got married with Raman. He is the sweetest person, Ishita believe if she had a younger brother than he would be like Romi only. She remembered meeting him for the first time, he was cute and fluffy boy in his teens. Romi presented her the winning football cup as a gift which she accepted wholeheartedly and from that day, they were more likely brother sister and bestfriend instead of bhabhi dever. Ishita then looked at Sarika who was staring out from window probably looking at Romi who was buying medicines from medical shop. She can see something more than friendship in her young eyes, the sparkles of newfound love, the gitters after getting his attention. Ishita kept smiling looking at the two, soon Romi returned back and offered chocolates to both the ladies who grinned at him. Their car roared back on the roads and they departed towards their home.
