Chapter18

His hold around her tightened remembering each words of her in diary. She went through so much. His Bondita had endured so much all alone!!! he kept pulling her closer...as if was trying to hide her deep in his heart, while murmuring "Sorry Bondita. I'm so so sorry. Y-you had to gone through so much for me. Just because of me. But I could do nothing. I ..I... please forgive me" he felt her head nodding vigorously over his chest. he smiled a little. "No Bondita, It's really my mistake"

"No Krishna..." He pulled her out of his embrace. staring at her for a few seconds, took the Harmonica from her hand. She smiled confusedly when he placed the harmonica on her lips.

"Mouth organ...you play it so beautifully and produce wonderful sound, you know. and..." Pulling her closer, pecked on her lips softly "and you have a euphonious voice. That has an irresistible magnetic pull. My heart , soul...whole of me is hyptonized by your dulcet voice" She wanted to but his deep , thick voice and intoxicating gaze didn't let her to utter a single word. Hence, chose to stay silent and lose herself in his soulful brown.

"Why do you call me Krishna! Bondita, In our case it is not me but you who is the Krishna" She frowned to hear his words. Curiously watched him to say further. placed her hands on his hand which was cupping her face. His fingertip playing with astray hair below her ears " Because you know na, Radharani was enamored by the sound of the sweet music from Krishna Ji's flute and same happened with me. So you are Krishna and I'm Radha. Kyu?" He nuzzled his nose against hers affectionately. she hugged him, giggling "Kuch bhi"

"Your love" She heard his voice again, after a while of silence but said nothing. Waited to hear him. "Your love is incomparable, unconditional and selfless. I'm lucky that love is for me. I am blessed to have your love " She thoughtfully looked upwards to him with raised eyebrows, chin rested on his chest, arms encircled around him. His hand still stroking her hair lovingly while other hand reached to hold her by the nape of the neck ever so gently. captivating her in his winsome eyes, voiced "I'm not perfect..but you love me so much.why?"

She smiled blinking eyes lightly "Because you are not perfect...and when I saw that my love for you increased even more" He couldn't help but stared at her with tears brimmed eyes, heart filled with gratitude and immense love . leaning down pressed his lips on her forehead. She closed her eyes in pure bliss. Next Felt his forehead came in touch with hers.

"I wasn't perfect. I will never be perfect. But my love for you is. I love you that's all I know. You are the one...My heart and soul craves for. Knowingly or unknowingly but it was always you...whom I loved, whom I love and it will always be you, whom I will love more and more each day with every beat of my heart untill the day I die and my heart stops beating. It's forever and ever be Bondita for this Anirudh....."

She could see each words of his lips matched with the spark of his eyes. His eyes also screamed the same. There's no doubt. she pecked on both the palms of his hands and made them touch her cheeks. Tears rolled down both of their eyes. grazing his cheeks by thumb she planted a soft kiss on his forehead, making him enhale deeply. their eyes met, inviting each other to close the gap between them. Automatically their eyes interlocked as her plumpy lips met his cottony one'. His palms cupped her cheeks and in an instant, She had her arms around his neck in hearty reciprocation. The kiss was soft, gentle and controlled through which They showered all the love they had for each other. wished for the time to stop. letting Their souls to be merged with each other, they stayed like this for a long time. Listening to their synchronising peaceful heartbeat.

"Bondita, let's go to home. Our home" Anirudh whispered slowly. Stroking her hair. Realisation hit her hard and So bitterly. What she was doing! How could she! See, she lost herself in him...like always. Forgot everything being carried away by the emotions. Her heart won over the brain. Suppressed feelings swept away all rational thinking and She again lost. Forgot her responsibility. In his presence she could never control herself. She knew that and that's why decided to, wanted to stay away from him. But again ended up being in his embrace..!
