Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter14

It was nearly midnight. The night sky was picturesque. A black to nevy gradient was the back drop for a full moon. the pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw surrounded by Millions of stars which were sprinkled to infinity and illuminated the night but there's no sign of light in his room. With the whole room in pitch darkness ,he was sitting on the floor, leaning on the edge of the bed. Two drops of tears rolled down his closed eyes. At that moment no part of his body showed a movment....after a while he took a photo from the table. Caressing that slightly with a glint of guilty in eyes, he spoke out..

"I'm sorry..I'm extremely sorry for breaking your trust. For breaking my promise. But believe me I didn't want to do this. I know,You must be angry at me. As I promised to love you forever..only you but I couldn't help. I...I fell for someone else. I have fallen in love with Bondita. Believe me. I always wanted to control my feelings. I did always try my best not to love her but.....I failed. You know na. Bondita is like that. She is such a sweet, caring girl. She did so much for all of us..for our baby...selflessly, unconditionally. She is expanse of pure white serenity with a big generous heart. And knowing that, I couldn't stop my heartbeat from chanting her name and sprinkle glitter of love through my veins. I couldn't stop my heart from making its way to be connected with hers. And now I won't hesitate saying it that I love her immensely..I helplessly have fallen in love with Bondita..sorry...if I disappoint you...!"

"Anirudh"

A voice...as calm as soothing breeze reached to his audible area. He freezed for a moment to hear the familiar voice. As soon as looked upwards,he was surprised yet Gulped hard to see the person. Peculiar expression appeared on his face. As he murmured in a cracking tone...

"Binitha"

She Stood there calmly.  Although was known to everything well but maintaining a stern expression, voiced "I'm angry with you" His head hung down. surmising the reason. She couldn't help but chuckled at his activities. Said next words grabbing his full attention  "I am angry with you for realising this so late.

His brows furrowed in confusion. she smiled slightly and continued again...

"You didn't even understand what your heart wants.......leave it. Glad that at least realised that who's name your heart chanting. Just go with the flow and embrace whatever come in this path. All the best for your new journey..."

A small smile curved up on his face. "Are you not angry with me...for....." His sentence remained incomplete being interrupted by her. she asked him to bring out her diary from the cupboard. He did. there he found a letter attached to the diary. as per her indication he read the letter and left spellbound..she herself wrote in that letter requesting him to marry Bondita! As she knew her ending was near. he slowly upped to look at her. eyes bulged out in astonishment. he somehow quired.."Didn't you feel bad?"

He saw her head shaking. Smiled at his absurd question. "Look upto the sky and you will be able to know what I'm feeling....how much happiness you have bestowed upon me"

He turned towards the window to have a look of the mesmerizing night sky...there he saw the twinkling star that Bondita once made him introduce saying that's their Binitha was scintillating more than ever. It's Dancing around the bright moon, spreading confetti of happiness all around. That brought the ever brightest smile on his face along with eyes brimmed in tears of tranquility. he instantly turned around but there's none in the room except him. he playfully slapped on his forehead. How stupid he was!How could he think that Binitha would feel bad.When these two girls all wanted, prayed was each other's happiness..!

He took a deep breath in relief. Intense Euphoric feeling ran through his veins, realising that now he would be able to feel the forbidden feelings, would be able to shower his Bondita with all the love he had, without any inhibition, Any hesitation. His Eyes dilated and glistened like the track of moonlight on the sea. he felt like dancing all around and he did. spreading cotton of pillow in air he danced to his heart content.
