Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter13

That's when Adi and Anu stormed in room out of nowhere thus startling them. both of them ran to their Mumma and Papa. Out of concern,Bondita asked whether they slept well last night as she couldn't go back to them due to sudden heavy storm. they answered that they had slept with their Kaku, much to her relief. As they came to know about their Papa's condition. They ran to him.

Bondita was all ready to leave for court. gave a goodbye kiss to Adi and Anu. Told them to take care of their father. Since Anirudh wasn't well. But her children was in a mood to give her biggest shock. they asked her to kiss Anirudh.

"Whatttt????" Bondita screamed, feeling the bombshell her children threw at her. Anirudh spit water out of his mouth that he was drinking. Watched Anu and Adi Implored her to give him a kiss. He didn't know what to do at this point of time. still he tried to make them understand but it's all futile.

They said that Bondita would kiss them whenever they were sick and they would get well soon. So now she has to kiss Anirudh too then he will get well soon. She weakly stared at her stubborn children. eventually accepted defeat and without saying anything , she pecked on the cheek of Anirudh and sprinted out of the room not before turning behind, looked towards Anirudh. holding her ears exclaimed "Saary"

Anirudh sat there numb. Thinking the happenings of a moment ago. Her soft lips that had touched his skin for a few seconds was enough to set fire in him. his heartbeat stopped and next it started running in speed of bullet train. An irresistible tranquil smile appeared on his lips. He couldn't hold himself back but to gazing at her retreating figure...!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been three days Anirudh was searching for Bondita like a mad. She was fighting a crucial case of a woman. he didn't have much information about this case. however, suddenly Bondita was missing. he looked for her each and every corner of the town. Everyone tried their own way to find her But no trace of her was found . Ultimately, holding onto the last string of hope, he went to the forest from where he had once saved her from her in-laws...from some devils.

And There his continuous prayers for the last three days were granted. She was caged in a secluded chemical factory. After struggling a lot he managed to get her out of the factory. and sat on the ground leaning against the tree, with his "Dil Ka Sukoon" on his lap.

He took a deep breath in relief. Looked at her beautiful face which went pale. tenderly caressed her cheeks. he pressed lips tight together to suppress his inner turmoil. drops of tears were flowing carelessly from his eyes. He called her restlessly but she was still unconscious....or maybe she was no more.............he started shaking head violently at this thought. a horrendous wave washed over him , making his nerves vibrated terribly. his heart was hammering hard in apprehension....as he cried out...

"Bondita...Bondita wake up...see I..I'm here. I am here for you....get up please" but there's no response.with Each passing second he felt himself breathing faster in anxiety "Look Miss. Barrister Babu...are you not done with your case fighting yet?huhh!... I'm warning you...I will...If you don't open..open your eyes, I...will file a case against..you.you that...are you hearing me?...you couldn't hide yourself any longer. Look, I found you...and wherever you ever hide in the world...even if you hide in heaven or hell, I will find you..for sure.I will made my way to you..anyhow.Bondita...please wake up. I'm not that strong to see you like this..." He gently touched his forehead with hers. tears of river of his eyes wetted her pale face. still she was laying motionless.

"Wake up na..see..our shattered state. Your family...your children. Everyone is so worried about you. Your Adi and Anu are dying to see you Bondita...they didn't have a morsel of food for the past three days. They are just crying.... crying for their Mumma.please don't do this Bondita. We can't live without you...we all need you Bondita. We are unable to spend even a day orderly without you......." He was continuesly talking, shaking the exanimate boy of hers but she showed no sign of life.he slowly upped his head from her, placed a soft kiss on her forehead. taking one of her hand, he made that touch his cheek. Watching her spiritlessly,he professed....

"I need you Bondita......not only now but for the rest of my life. I want to say something...I want to confess what I have realised....I want to say what you meant to me....won't you give me that chance?....please..get up na Bondita...please..please don't leave..............me"

He couldn't think of anything else. He didn't know what caught in him at that moment. Scanning her blank face for once last time, he Pressed his lips on her lifeless one. kissing her fervently. It's not him but his soul.....that wanted to be immersed with hers. his realisation was new but it felt like his love for her...longing of his heart,his soul for her was from ages. as if his heart was known to her,was in love with her....for years....! Just was waiting for his ultimate realisation.....and he did.

Last two days of his had passed like two hundred thousands years. Incessant crying, praying, searching..he had almost given up every bit of hope...he was craving to held her hand....to hear her melodious voice....to see her pure smiling face once..at least.

Physically Bondita was missing but he felt like something was missing in him...in his life...as if a part of his soul was missing.which was desperate to be with other part. Was yearning to entwined with it's mate.

And When he finally found her ,he felt himself whole.His soul's longing for something, its search for something, ended instantly. At that moment he realised one of the biggest truth.maybe, ultimate too....that, although their relationship was Benaam but it's divine. there's an invisible strings of fate that bind their souls...from ever birth. Their relationship was something which was beyond of any wordly definition. Which was beyond anyone's horizon of understanding.

But he did understand what she meant to him. How much importance she held onto his life......he understood,why he always craved to see her,to be with her,to listening to her.Seeing her smiling face, why his heart smiled in tranquility, even in dolorous state. Why his all worries, disturbance flew away in an instant, once he heard her sweet voice. Why his eyes forgot to see anything else, once they spotted on her. Why his day started with her and night appeared with her only.........because.........

"Because I love you and you can't leave me as long as I'm alive "

He whispered those words against her lips and again' crashed them on hers...suddenly he felt her stirring a little. he stopped kissing her for a moment but didn't parted from hers.he looked at her impassively. Saw her pale eyelids opening ever so slowly. and there, their eyes locked!. he smiled soulful, through teary eyes. Still didn't dare to move back. His heart wanted the time to stop when he felt...........himself alive again. He got back his life again. His world was back to him.....she was back to him!she didn't leave him!

She smiled faintly before closing her eyes again.....how could she leave him alone!!

How could one of them have left while the other was alive......!!
