Chapter14

Anu and Adi, who came to call their Papa stood fixed in bewilder yet amazement. their Papa was dancing just as peacock danced with joy in the first rain of the monsoon! They went ahead and asked Anirudh the reason of his overflowing happiness.

As his eyes fell on Anu ,he felt more connected to her. he felt his heart fluttered in satisfaction when Anika called him Papa. It was indescribable. embracing her to his arms he twirled round and pecked on the cheek of her, demanded sweetly"Call me papa one more time, please" smiling broad she squealed joyfully calling him Papa again and again. wrapped her arms around him.

Adi approached to them smiling. asked his Papa to go to her Mumma. This time he felt another jolts of contentment to hear Adi calling Bondita Mumma. embracing Adi lovingly he placed soft kiss on Adi's cheek, a hue of red crept up on his face as he asked shyly "Would you be happy if I brought your Mumma to our house permanently?" There's was hidden meaning behind his words. Which the innocent babies couldn't grasp.

Adi clapped joyfully and pinched his throat "SHOTTI?!!" he confirmed, gesturing same. placed another kiss on the cheek of Adi in complacent, witnessing the unique behavioral traits of Bondita in him.

"Hey sleeping beauty, speaking honest I don't feel like to wake you up from your serene dreamland. But what to do with my fragile heart and ears. Which are desperately waiting to hear your melodious voice,To connected it with my soul. Please wake up soon......I'm dying to confess my feelings for you. SHOTTI"

He bent down to place his lips on her forehead but thinking something backed off. Instead, caressed her head lovingly. eyes were busy beholding her beautiful sleeping face. hints of tears brimmed in his eyes remembering the horrendous yesterday. The terrible feeling still twisted his heart. The pain... there's no words to describe through what he went, the moment he saw her laying lifeless . Such hopeless, helpless, worthless he felt at that moment. But today everything was all fine and fit. She was back after fighting life and death.  Doctor did her treatment. Informed that she was out of danger. Just was a little feeble so suggested them to take great care of her.

Bondita's closed eyelids flutter. After lots of struggle she lazily opened them only to stucked on Anirudh. Who was gazing at her unblinking. Instantly he got up from his place. Holding by her shoulder helped her sit up comfortably. Made her drink water and settled himself on the edge of the bed. Cupping her cheeks, he voiced. Out in a bit desparate tone..

"Finally...finally you have opened your eyes. Does anyone do such?Huh?Why did you leave? Do you know how I.....we have spent these four days without you??I..I died thousands time in every second ,with this thought that I..I lost yo......!I...I won't talk to you. Go from here" He turned away puffing cheeks.drops of tears rolled down from his eyes. Bondita smiled emotionally. He was in her room. On her bed. But was telling her to go away!! Cute...she found him!she tried to reach out to get hold of his hand but he turned another side. She let out a chuckle at his cute anger. Controlling somehow she tried again to make him face her. he shifted a Little away from her. Bursting his balloon like cheeks she asked him to smile. However, he didn't seem to be in mood to follow her words. Sighed in defeat ,she fake cried...

"It's ok. If you don't want to talk to me or see my face then I won't force you. I will go away again...and this time I will never come back......" She thought of teasing him but looking at his expression she couldn't hold onto the bravery to continue further. She felt herself burning under his intense gaze. she could understand what's going in his mind. To see his throat Gulping hard, as if was trying hard to form a sentence,to swallow something......her words.. probably!

Her job of monitoring his expression got interrupted by a sudden pull. Nothing....just She felt herself being pulled in a bone crushing hug. Before she could process anything felt his cottony lips on her cheeks. She was stunned. eyes popped up. heartbeat raced feeling his warm breath over the corner of her quivering lips. He didn't stop there. Nuzzling her cheek his nose trailed down to her jawline to neck and like this went on with his ministration till her earlobe. She was already enervated and his Unexpected acts made her mind to go numb to think properly or register anything in. She was in a state of hazy.
