Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter14

"Bondita ji..To push the car you must to get out of the car first" She bit her tongue. Smiling sheepishly. jumped off the car and to protect her he also did the same. glared at her furiously.

"Why did you jump?What If you get hurt!!!Who asked you to even drink at the first place??" He shouted at the highest pitch of his voice. thought she would be afraid but instead received a pinch on his waist. "Ahh" he shrieked in pain frowning.

"Listen....I didn't have drink deliberately. I only had juice...but don't know how I started seeing things double...your big big two nose.... four eyes...." Anirudh eyes bulged out in horror. rubbed his face vigorously. but where! he didn't felt anything like that. That's when realisation hit him. So just nodded slightly . Again rubbed the spot where she had pinched. Gulping hard he sweetly...too sweetly Asked her to help him in pushing the vehicle. Still it didn't work.

"Arghhh!! Your car is just like you. Good for nothing!" Bondita groaned in frustration. Stomped her feet on the car. That made him jump in fear. his eyes widened in shock. "What? Did..did you just say that Anirudh Roy Chowdhury is good for nothing!!!!? "

"Any doubt?" Was Her sarcastic reply only to earned a furious glare from him. And then both of their fighting lasted for a while. Bondita threw her arms in the air, and cried out dramatically...

"Hey dugga maa, save this poor Bondita from this Rakshas Babu!!!" Pointing a finger to him, making a puppy face she cried " You..today..you are bossing around me too much.  you scolded me. You don't love me. I won't talk to you" She started crying loudly. Anirudh instantly covered her mouth by palms. Shaking head incredulously at her drama, Pulled her down and shushed at her"Shhh.... silence. Bondita I love you. You don't know but I do love you. And I wanted to confess that.. SHOTTI"

"SHOTTI!!" She squealed in elation when he gestured the same she clapped like a toddler.

"I love you too Krishna" Her facial expressions changed all of so sudden. Even in alcoholic state her mind got alerted of something that forced her to think of an excuse to change this topic but he already approached to her like a possessed soul. holding by her arms he asked..

"Who is this Krishna? I often hear you chanting this name..why?Is this Lord Krishna? !!" She tried to cock a story but Anirudh's long finger placed on her lips. Indicated her only to speak the truth.

"Not Lord Krishna but He is my Krishna. My Anirudha. My Pati....!!!

He frowned. Being inebriated he couldn't grasp the depth of her words. Neither she did...Let them out in her full sense. It's just because those words were stucked for a long time inside her. Thus came out on their own.

"I don't get..!!"

"Hmm..I know everything. You probably don't. you..you forgot me. You didn't came to take me as promised. I waited for you...but you never came. That's why I quit singing..you asked me na why I didn't sing at the party if I know how to sing! this is the reason. I don't sing now... because it reminds me that I loved you...that I still love you...."

Drops of tears rolled down her cheeks even unknown to her. She sat on the ground. Pulling knees to her chest cried silently. He inched closer to her. None of them were in their senses. Still he could feel her pain. Was there a magnetic attraction or because of the intoxication he was being pull towards her irresistibly...!?he was unsure. Placing palms on her cheeks tenderly he pulled up her face to him. locking their eyes he spoke out..

"Although I don't know, I am unable to understand what you are talking about but I can never forget you. Anirudh can never forget his Bondita"  she smiled through teary eyes to hear his words. Kept her both the palms over his hands on her cheeks. He blinked in reassurance and they sat there drowned in each other until rain drops brought them back to reality.
