Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter11

"Do you love her?"Another one asked.

He was supposed to reply quicker than they asked. but that didn't happen....he couldn't understand why those words were stuck in his throat. why he couldn't form a sentence as per his mind suggested. why he couldn't just simply utter that he didn't love her!he didn't see her more than just a friend.

Why?!!

They smirked at him..getting nothing but silence from his side.

"It seems Bondita is replacing Binitha in our friend's heart." they thought of teasing him but that didn't go well with. it hit him hard. their joke enraged him to the core. Eyes turned red in anger. noticing sudden changes of expression his friends shut their mouth instantly. Gulped in fear. Saurav tried to calm him down..make him understand but all was futile. Anirudh gritted angrily..

"No one can take Binitha's place in my heart. I loved her..I love her and will love her forever...only her. Dare anyone of you say something like this again...I will..........."

"Anirudh Babu....what happened?"

Bondita hold his hand from behind. asked in concern. wrinkles of worries formed in her forehead. Anirudh's anger vanished at once looking at her face.he took a deep breath and nodded negatively. indicating that nothing happened. Smiling in assurance hold her palm tightly. took her away from there. Behind, his friends shoked head in disbelief and at the dumbness of their friend...!

"Bondita,you wanted to meet Saurav's wife...I mean Binitha's cousin...right..here she is... Sampoorna"Bondita's subtly smiling face went pale hearing the name. her smile dropped. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she observed along the lady standing infront of her. without wasting a second jumped in Sampoorna's embrace thus leaving everyone in shock. Anirudh smiled thinking it's her nature and her immense love for Binitha.

They talked for a good time. Bondita just kept watching Sampoorna from head to toe. Occasionally wipped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She badly wanted to talk to her.... alone...for long time. So was just looking for a chance. Anirudh and Saurav went out of the room and finding that a good opportunity she requested Sampoorna to go to her house along her but that's when Adi and Anu came and dragged her to the hallroom.

Adwait and Anika announced that their mother will sing a song. everyone clapped joyfully. Bondita denied first but after seeing puppy eyes of her children she couldn't gainsay anymore. As She was going to started singing stopped as soon as Adi's scream came to ear. turning behind saw Anu was on the floor. fear gripped her heart.she ran to her swiftly. hearing the sounds of commotion Anirudh and Saurav went there. No sooner his eyes fell on Anika his heart hammered hard in apprehension.he sprinted to Anu in air speed and pulled her on his lap. patted her cheeks calling again and again.

Soon Somnath did her check-up and informed that Someone had mixed sleeping pills with her food. She will be wake up soon.  There's Nothing to be worried But getting this Unexpected info anger rushed through Anirudh's veins. He enquired all the servants who dared to do such with his Angel. Was all ready to shot that culprit then and there. All the servants were just shaking their negatively..in fear. words died in their throats itself to see the violent side of their Chote Malik. Bondita,with much difficulty was able to handle his anger.

At night..In Bondita's house..

Anika was still asleep. Anirudh and Adwait was sitting either side of hers. Anirudh's one hand was busy in caressing her cheeks and head whereas the other was holding her small palm slightly. Bondita went in with coffee for Anirudh and coco-milk for Adwait. After a while Bondita asked Anirudh to go to his house. Although was reluctant but as it's too late he stood up to leave that when Anu's sleep broke. sitting on her knees she hugged her Papa and Mumma in half sleepy state. Smiling Anirudh and Bondita pecked her on the Cheeks. Adi too joined them. as Anirudh was going to leave Anu started crying and requested him to stay with them. Anirudh tried his best to make her understand but she was as stubborn as mule. At last he agreed but was hesitant to stay in one room. Bondita understood his dilemma.Hence she wanted to sleep in another room with Adi but Anu again started crying...that she wanted everyone...her Papa,Mumma and Adi...... huffing in defeat they layed down on either edge of the bed keeping both the children in between. although was awkward but they're too exhausted to stay up more because of the tiring day. not fighting between heart and mind much they let deep slumber to engulfed them.
