Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter4

"M...mujhe boho..t bh..uk lag..lagi..hai(I'm very hungry)"she somehow whispered but audible enough for him to understand. he felt an unknown pain in his heart. unknown to him tears brimmed in his eyes seeing her weariness. how hungry she must be feeling that made her unable to move. that she had to asked for food to a nearly stranger.
Tears were carelessly flowing through her cheeks as she continued..

"It's been four..four days I..I didn't eat anything. Was just running continuesly to..to escape from them" Her words sounded like a lost child. Anirudh nodded with her, tried to telling that he did understand her pain.

"You know...I begged for food to everyone but no one listened. no one gave me even a morsel of food to have. They Just used to beat me mercilessly until they got tired..look..."She showed some wounds in visible parts of her body. there were countless red beaten stain. Anirudh's eyes got widened in horror observing those marks...how ruthless..were they even human..."but" he heard her voice again..."but I did nothing..I have no fault. "SHOTTI "....A hiccups left Anirudh's lips. He immediately turned his face away from her. lips pressed together in an attempt to not to let out a cry. Pooled up tears trailed down through his closed eyes. He was unable to decipher why he was feeling this agonizing...for this girl. they're almost stranger. but still he could feel her each pain. he felt devastated that for them this girl had to through intolerable pain. As if someone stabbed thousands of sward all together in his heart....suppressed air puffed out of his mouth shakily. 

There was invisible strings inbetween them....!!

"I have no fault......everyone troubled Bondita so much....they are so....so bad...no one understands Bondita...no...one..!!

She started screaming her lungs out. Anirudh trembled in fear. her behaviour also wasn't normal. Screaming like this would harm her in such condition.

"Bondita stop..please" He hurriedly hold her hand stop her movement. She stopped. Monitored him from head to toe for a moment.

and next she jumped in his embrace.

Shock would be an understatement Anirudh was dumbfounded by her action. Way too shocked to react.

"Krishna..my Krishna..you have come...you know I...I waited for you so much. I..I cried...for you..each and every second...you know right...no..no..you don't know but I love you so much....."

Both the hands of Anirudh were pressed on the ground for support. As she was pressing herself more to him with every word. Although he was feeling a little uneasy but more than that he was concern for her. Her abnormal behaviour was scaring him.

"Bondita...stop...I'm not any Krishna. I'm Anirudh"

But Bondita tightened her embrace around him instead.

"Are you hearing Bondita...I'm Barrister Babu..Anirudh Roy Chowdhury"

Bondita stopped instantly. moving backwards she looked at him..with a peculiar expression..

"Anirudh Roy Chowdhury... Binitha's husband..." Reality strucked her hard. She settled on the ground with a jerk. what she had done..!she blurted out everything to Binitha's husband...he wasn't her Krishna.......anymore. they're happy. Binitha and Anirudh. then how could she did that...disturb them...she was really so bad....she wasn't supposed to let them know about anything...but...!

"Bondita stoppp...I said stop it girlll.."

Anirudh shouted in the highest pitch of his voice holding her hand to prevent her as Bondita started slapping herself.unstoppable.
She flinched in fear.

"Dare you move from here. Sit quietly...understand?"

She stilled. again became like a statue. Motionless.
