Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter5

No. It wasn't....true at all. It could never be true. She was still in scary nightmare. Or it might be any prank of someone. Or..or..she must have died...yeah, that's seemingly true....maybe,last night she took her last breath in the forest....

She began to totter atrociously. swayed head sideways insisting her adamant mind not to accept it or wake up from the nightmare. unfortunately or fortunately she spotted Binitha's photoframe adorned with flower garland. her toes curled up inciting her to fall on the floor.

Before she could process further with this irrevocable turn of her life.could lament for that. wailing sound of a baby came to her audible area. thus making her conscious of an important thing. she dragged her spiritless body towards the source of the sound.

There she saw...a baby boy on the baby swing cradle. He was looking like little version of Krishna. So pure....but his continues yawling didn't let her to observe his little figure more. not wasting much time she took the little Krishna in her soft palms. a sudden peculiar feelings surged in her veins stimulating her to cradle that little infant closer to her chest.

But his crying wasn't stopping. she looked at the baby weakly. she could say....although the baby was too little but as was well aware of his loss....losing of his mother.

At this thought Bondita wanted to cry out loudly. for both of them. For their lose. for his irreparable loss .the cruel destiny snatched a mother leaving her little baby Behind..!even when the baby was yet to feel mother's warmth...!

Placing her soft cheeks ever so gently over the little baby's forehead she cried silent tears.  murmured..

"Not only you dear but I also have lost my Baba and Maa but...but we both are strong..right! Binitha's baby and Binitha's Bondita...both..both are so strong....to..accept this...bitter truth of...life..right bachcha..."

To amazement the baby's prolonged crying stopped. as he understood that. Her every words. so strong he was...!

His little hands moved in the air directionlessly. suddenly one of his small palm landed on her cheek. exactly on the trailing down tears. his palm made some movment on the spot...and surpisingly wipped off the tear drops.

She smiled through teary eyes. placed a soft kiss on his forehead. his tiny figure scrunched. Hands and legs got folded together cutely. Baby nudged her breasts, making her flinch at the sudden sensation. she did understand what he needed. Breastfeeding. That he might not have had after birth.

She sat on the couch. Started breast-feeding the baby....for the first time in her life. her eyelids automatically closed the gaps in between them in pure bliss. felt that amazing feelings heartily.

"Ji suniye...your baby is crying" Koyeli informed in slow voice. Downing her head in respect.

Bondita's eyes widened at the sudden realisation. Her baby...! Yess,she also have a baby. Whom she hardly saw after she gave birth to her. before closing her eyes....for how long....she herself didn't know. then who took care of her baby till so long..! Who did feed milk to her little baby....?

Then she rememberd Anirudh...so he did everything. 

Bondita requested Koyeli to bring her Baby. Koyeli did. She took the baby girl in her lap. started breast-feeding both the babys together.

This blissful moment was witnessed by all the RC'S. they returned home after accomplishing Binitha's last crematory rituals. As they went inside their feet stopped. through teary eyes everyone admired the beautiful scenery.

Anirudh also noticed that but without any expression started taking steps towards the staircase. he still was the same blank statue.

A voice forced him to stop at the doorstep.

"Barrister Babu...this is for you...from...from Binitha Malkin"Bihari uttered timidly. Handed over him a piece of paper. and left hastily.

Anirudh didn't even blink. entered in their room. closed the door behind his back.

And Opened the letter...

                 Thank you.....Thank you so much for coming in my life. Thank you for loving me so much. unconditionally. Unexpectedly. Thank you for being the best husband for this triffle girl. Thank you for each and every thing.

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Jhuti..." Just one word came from his mouth after so long. finally pool of tears brimmed in his red eyes. "You are a liar Binitha Roy....Binitha chaterjee. You are a liar. I hate youuuu....I hate youuuu.....Did you hear mee....are hearing my words....I hate you so much......I...I loved you bloody much....I loved you immensely....but....I still... love you...helplessly....but you.... don't care....you left me....alone....you broke your promise.........I won't forgive youuu.......!

There's the sunami rose in dead sea. so the destroy was must. he started throwing each and every thing of the room unstoppably. breaking these into pieces. River of tears flowed from his eyes mercilessly. Body was shaking atrociously. blood of his feet left red stain on the marvelous floor but he did least care...the spiritless, helpless,blank he was looking a while ago now turned into tenfold ferocious, terrific than wild animals. The intolerable Strom of agony inside of his heart forced him to scream lungs out. He did.

His agonizing screams had shaken whole haveli like earthquake. everyone in the hall room was weeping silently. they're just worried of this. They knew...the robotic expression of his was the calmness before storms. now the cyclone started.....!

All the commotion going on in upwards...heard by Bondita too. She kept sitting there silently. hold both the babys to her heart. letting out a drop of tear to flow down she whispered....

"Pata nahi ye Kismat bhi kaun likhte hain...
Jo har cheez Adhuri chod jate Hain.

Kisi ke jivan aisi bheegi pann se Chod dete hain..
Jo Na kuch likhne ki layek rehte hai Aur Na hi Jalane Ki.!

और तूने तो मुझे ना हंसने को चौड़ा,
ना ही रोने को........!!!
