Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter7

She sang that song and recorded in gramophone. Carefully kept that in study room in the place of alcohol bottle along with a printing letter attached to that.

When Anirudh went to drink. The gramophone and the letter catched his attention. Not thinking much he read the letter. there some inspiring words were written in the letter and The letter was written by............Binitha....!

That's all he could understand.

As per mentioned in the letter he turned on the gramophone and there...the song played.....a gasp left his mouth. tears brimmed in his eyes listening to the song. That's the song and the voice...the soulful voice......he loved madly.

Voice of his Binitha.....! 

He remembered ....what Binitha said a few days before that unfortunate incident..."There's is a surprise for you"...now he understood what surprise Bini wanted to give him..his favourite song in her melodious voice.

Anirudh didn't count how many times he replayed the song....still wasn't satisfied...he was flying in another world. heart dancing gleefully synchronising with the lyrics of the song. An automatic  heartfelt smile crept up on his lips. That reflected in his eyes well. first time in a year he smiled heartily rather than laughing like a maniac. His mind brought back some precious moments of Binitha and him together. 

He was way engrossed in music that when sleep engulfed him he himself was unaware of.
and that's also first time in a year that he slept by his himself. Without drinking.

Bondita, who came to see the culmination of her tactics. upon seeing the scenery infront of her she gasped in amazement. she couldn't believe in her eyes that Anirudh slept without consuming alcohol. her efforts brought positive response. now she was very sure that Anirudh will be fine soonest. Tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks. Clapping like a little child she straightly ran to terrace. To share the happy news to Binitha.

That's was the positive turn in Anirudh's life. from that day he immersed himself in music...listening the song... weaving each words of the song in his heart....soul. until he felt whole....like this gradually he forgot the habit of drinking and came back to his consistent shedule. sleeping regularly, having food on time. He didn't even oppose to have medicine. everyone was so happy observing the improvement in him.

After one and half month....

"Kaka...where...where is my B..baby"A familiar voice compelled Trilochan to pull away his attention from his accountants book. eyes moved upwards.mouth remained open in utter shock. Unbelievable it's for him. He monitored Anirudh from head to toe. Still was wordless.

Anirudh smiled in nervousness. For peculiar expression of his Kaka displaying. "Kaka...I want to see my child" there he said and next moment he felt himself in his Kaka's embrace. happy tears generated in Trilochan's eye. Finally his son was all fine and fit. he came to see his child after a year......! what Bondita said that day brought him to a much needed realisation that he was at fault too. He didn't paid the attention to his son he was supposed to. Just because Anirudh behaved uncanny he let him stay caged...secluded...let him to overcome his pain all alone... knowing very well still when they neglected their son in such crucial condition then how could they expect him to be attentive towards his child...whom he didn't even see properly....when he knew nothing.

"Kaka...baby"

"Huhh..."

"The baby"

"Ohh yes...the baby"

Anirudh frowned at his Kaka's weird behaviour. nevertheless,with a thuding heart he delightfully waited for his child. Then Bondita came towards them with his child. And Forwarded the baby boy to him.

He didn't pass even a glance to Bondita...rather can say, he didn't have the courage to look at her... lowering gaze moved a little upwards to see his baby. forwarded his hands to hold his child. Hands quivered as nervousness and excitement brewed up in his system..he hold the baby ever so gently not to hurt his soft milky skin. tears, expressing various types of emotions flowed from his eyes. He instinctively leaned a little towards the baby. extreme carefully placed his lips on the baby's forehead. Murmured sorry multiple times...

"I promise..I will try to be the best Baba of this world....for you my child" He whispered softly. Swayed his nose with him. the baby crunched his nose cutely. letting out a giggle.

Everyone had tears in their. admired the blissful moment of Father and son plastering satisfactory smile on their face.

"Kaka...what's the name of my son..?"Anirudh asked still was engaged playing with his baby. Busy scanning each part of his little figure.

"Name...we haven't named the baby yet..you were so excited about the coming of your child but........the condition you were in for the one year...so...so..." Trilochan peeked at Anirudh from the corner of his eyes..a little scared he was...that now Anirudh will start torturing his own vocal cords shouting at everyone...for not naming his son till now. But what Anirudh said next was totally unexpected..

"No worries. Fix a date for my son's naming ceremony" With a calm smile smeared on his face He spoke ever so slowly sparing his vocal cords and leaving Trilochan surprised... stupified...before he could proceed Bondita spoke out From behind..

"Kaka ji...day before Tomorrow the Baby's birthday...so...you can fix....."

"Yeah...that's right...it will be great to held the naming ceremony on his birthday itself. My son will be named on the day he was born...what say Kaka?"Anirudh completed his sentence questioning Kaka who just nodded like a robot. Anirudh passed an exiting smile to everyone .Clutching the Baby closer to his chest made his way towards his study.

Kaka was beyond surprise by his calm behaviour. He behaved more controlled, composure than ever before.........he was!
Kaka smiled through teary eyes watching Anirudh's retreating figure....he knew....

If love can destroy us, make us weak.
Love also has the power to build us, stronger than before...ever strongest.
Love gives us pain, bruise us...and....
Love also is the greatest healing power. love can heal our deepest, most painful wound too.
If love makes us cry.then love also can make us happiest.
Love brings the light of understanding to the darkest corner of our heart and minds.

It's only the power of love....!!
