Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter16

She fell on her knees bringing Anirudh back to reality. He instantly pulled her up. cupped her cheeks tenderly.

"Bon-Bondita, don't worry about anything I said. I just spoke my heart. Don't stress Yourself... please" He made her drink water. looked at her concernly. He was confused as well. He had never seen anyone react like this to a confession of love. Suddenly her perception about love and one sided love knocked in his mind. That's means there's someone else....her love! One sided...! Ohh..yeah, he often heard her murmuring a name...Krishna...!

"Anirudh Babu" Bondita's voice broke the chain of his thoughts. he shook his head to threw away the unwanted, unpleasant assumptions. Someone else...! No, nothing is like that Anirudh!

"I'm sorry, I reacted absurdly" Her eyes lowered out of embarrassment.

"Hey, don't be. I was just worried about you...!okay, I should go now " Caressing her cheeks he turned to leave, Bondita held his hand from behind.

"What...?"

"Can..can I hug y-you..?!"

He smiled confusedly at her childlike demand. Nevertheless, spreading arms he passed an approval grin. She ran to him and hide herself in his warm embrace. he stated lovingly...

"Remember, My arms are always wide open for you. Don't hesitate to melt yourself in them. and this place only belongs to you" Bending down a little whispered in her ear, mischievously " I would be more happy If my Bondita occupied this place forever and professed her rights more often" She playfully slapped on his arms before hugging him more tightly. He chuckled before resting his cheek on her head. Both of them closed their eyes to feel the blissful moment and synchronised heartbeat of them.

***************************

Early in the morning,
Bondita was watering the flowers in the garden. planting a soft kiss on the petals of flowers, she whispered "Ohh, Flowers, you are so beautiful. My love for you blossoms everyday"

She still was leaning towards the flowers, heard someone's husky voice. Whispering in her ear "But, My flower is most beautiful..purest! My love for my flower blossoms every second and it grows to infinity"

Her heart skipped several Beats and full-length shuddered as She felt pair of lips grazing her earlobe amorously. She knew who it was.

"Ani-Anirudh Babu...." She breathed heavily as his nose dipped in her silky hair. inhaling her fragrance. "Wh-what a-are you do-doing...?" somehow uttered, feeling shorted of words. " Loving my flower" His deep voice sent jolts of electricity through her veins. her grip on the watering pipe tightened, eyes squeezed shut "please...We are in gar-garden. an-anyone can see.." her toes curled up. She was sure her galloping heartbeat was quite audible. Still he didn't stop. She felt her hair being aside and something slide up and down her shoulder " So? You can love your flowers openly but why can't I??"

Enough of his sweet torture!

She tilted her head to have a glance of him and there she saw a sunflower in his hand. She turned to him completely. asked confused.."What's this?" Staring at the flower, he caressed that lovingly while replying " My beautiful flower"

Her eyes popped up in uttar shock. He was talking about this flower! All this time he...! He was still drowned in that flower. What the heck! Anirudh was trying hard to suppress his laughter to see her reaction. at last couldn't control and bursted into fits of laughter. winked at Bondita who had turned into Rakshasi in the meantime. before he could process with her sudden change of expression, saw her holding the water pipe towards him. In no time surroundings filled with her laughing and his screaming sounds. His body was completely wet. he groaned..
