Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter6

one night, gathering maximum courage Bondita headed towards the study room with his favourite coffee. for the first time she entered in his study that remained lock most of the time. she knocked but getting no response entered in. Saw..as usual he was half laying with drink in his hand. Bondita sighed in disappointment. went to him. Sat on the floor infront of his half laying figure.

"B..Barrister Babu..your coffee' as she forwarded the cup of coffee he looked at her. denied without any expression. Bondita inched the cup closer to him. he moved back. this game went on for a while.

Finally, frustrated Anirudh pushed her hand away in a jiffy.the cup of coffee slipped from her hold and fell on Binitha's photo that was kept on the sofa. Anirudh rushed towards the photo. The photo was damaged because of the hot coffee.

This woke up the terrific lion inside him. His anger grew no bounds. Bondita Gulped in fear observing the changing expression of his.

He hollered ferociously...

"How dare youuu..!what the bloody hell you have done..!who gave you the permission to enter in my study..?who allowed you to invade in my matter...whoo...??"

His roar shook Bondita's soul terribly. the way he was clasping her throat coarsely in his rough palms only reminded her...the continuous atrocious torture her in-laws caused to her for more than a year. her breathing became uneven. Perspiration oozed out of her forehead.

Hiccuping in between she somehow managed to voiced the words timidly...

"I...I...cam...me...t.to..see..y...ou...."

He got enraged more by hearing her words. pushed her to the ground harshly. he knelt infront of her. looked intently at her. his eyes turned as red as if blood were oozing out of them.

Every parts of her vibrating in fear of getting beaten again. As all those arduous days of hers in hell like in-laws flashed in her mind. That's much more scary than any nightmare. But Anirudh wasn't that Old Anirudh to notice her miserable condition.

Suddenly he started laughing like an insane pointing a finger to her..that changed again. He gritted angrily..

"You...you are here to see me..!what have you seen...? Are you happy?...are you happy seeing like this..?.. today I'm in such condition just because of you. You are the sole reason behind all this. You... because of you I lost my Binitha...only because of you she left me....she....died... you are a bad omen...you have destroyed my life..you...you have snatched my Binitha from me...now you even destroyed the single photo of hers that's least with me...you...you are so...bad .....you....never dare...to face me... again....just...go...out of my... sight........"

After screaming out his anger, frustration,pain.....that even he was unaware of.....His shaking body touched the floor. He gave up and fell unconscious.....!

On the other hand Land slipped away from Bondita. She felt her head spinning so hard as if the whole earth was crushing down. everything was going to destroy. Was coming to a sudden termination. She bit her lips together vigorously in an attempt to gather minimum strength. But all was in vain. all the harsh words of Anirudh ringed in her ear continuously. Stabbing millions of sward in her heart. At that time tears too didn't co-operate with her flowing from her eyes. she felt suffocated. at the sudden extreme urge of getting minimum air for her respiration she ran from there...aimlessly... carelessly......

She reached the terrace of the Haveli. Fell on her knees. opened her mouth. Took air in like a prolonged hungry person. After a while she felt a little normal.But Anirudh's words like sharp arrows did not spare her...

"You are a bad omen"

"You have destroyed my life"

"You are the sole reason behind all this"

"Because of you Binitha died...!

"Noooo..stopp...stoppp...."She shut her ears by both the palms.pressed tightly to prevent those words from entering into her audible area. shoked her head vehemently.murmerd " No..I..I did nothing. I didn't...snatch anyone's happiness. I..didn't...destroy.. anyone's life.....I'm saying....I didn't......"

Breathing heavily she looked upto the sky and screamed...."Binii...Binitha..bolna tere Pati ko me...mein unse unke pyar ko nahi chhina hai....!

Rubbing her face harshly by palms,she continued"..how..how can I snatch anyone's love when...when I don't deserve that...when I don't deserve anyone's love...He was right... I'm a bad omen. I'm so unlucky girl'...that's why I couldn't save my Maa-Baba from bur... burning alive..that day. even after loving since childhood I didn't get my love. I Tried a lot but couldn't change my hus...husband too...I couldn't change them...I failed...even I failed to save my first ch...child..my unborn child. reaching to the pinnacle of success I fell down. I couldn't receive my...my degree either...my dream crushed into pieces. But I could do nothing... I'm a loser... I'm a bad omen... I'm a destroyer and now I'm a killer as well...Binitha...my Binitha died because of me.....!!!"

She laughed hysterically "Eventually Bondita is accused for her world...her Binitha's death......."

Her screaming stopped as she observed the sky keenly. After Binitha's expire whenever she missed her as per Binitha's words she used to come here. talked with the brightest twinkling stars in between the blanket of infinite stars. she could tell that's her Binitha only. Such strong heart to heart connection they had. But today that star was missing....or it's not twinkling like other days...why?

She chuckled painfully..."Ohh..so you also left Bondita...!"

A lone drop of tear fell from the corner of her right eye. She couldn't utter any word more. As if she lost all the ability to form a word. To voiced..all her vitality drained out. her screams turned into sobbing. tears of river flowed from her eyes carelessly. Suddenly it's started raining. The drops of rain merged with her salty tears........was she alone in pain...?!

No......!

After a while the rain stopped.

But she didn't...She wanted a shoulder to cry her heart out. Ever since Binitha's death she never express her feelings. never shared her pain to anyone. just wearing a mask of smile she tried to keep everyone happy. she didn't breakdown because of the two babys. To shelter them .she always stayed strong, courageous. did everything for their happiness...she could.

But as saying...loved one's flower pains much more than stranger's sward. When you blamed for somthing you never did. here she knew.. understood that Anirudh wasn't in his senses. Maybe he himself was unaware what he said but still that hurted her a lot.

Anirudh blamed her....that too for Binitha's death. The Binitha who meant world to her. for whom she could embrace death...hell...with smiling face.

For whom she didn't think twice before sacrificing her love.....!

Today she wanted a little peace. she was exhausted with her life. felt herself the weakest person of the world. she wanted someone to held her hand. To stop her from drowning in the uncertainty. she wanted to hear some soothing, inspiring words....

Bondita don't worry....."Andhera chahe kitna bhi ho gehra....subah hona toh Tay hai "

Feeling a gentle touch on her shoulder she upped her head to look. seeing the person infront her she murmured....

Anirudh....!
