Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter20

"Why are you standing quietly?" He inquired in whisper nudging her earlobe . She sighed. Calming her galloping heartbeat down, placed her hands over his.

"Talking with rain" She answered still lost in the proximity. he frowned to hear her words. rested chin on her shoulder, queried in astonishment, "Is it!? How?"

"Why?don't you hear the rain song??" She counter questioned, tracing his fingers over her abdomen.

"No. But I would love to hear your song , if you know how to sing..." He replied flirtatiously, pulling her closer. rubbing his cheeks on her cherubic cheeks lazily. She gasped. Heaving a deep breath, chuckled.....If only he knew..!

"Well, you should. But you know, the rain is the poem of Earth. She is the soul's spirit of the universe..."She spoke slowly, busy in absorbing the various sensation he was providing rubbing their cheeks together. She leaned back to him to support herself. He asked her to go on, still continuing his sweet torture. She sighed deeply.

"The rain rises eternally out of the land, emerges from the heart of Earth and goes up into the sky and again comes back to its birthplace, quenches dehydrated ground, gives back life to its origin and enhanced the beauty of the Earth, washing away all the impurities..."

"Then....our relationship is also like earth and rain... isn't it?" He stopped caressing her cheeks by his and spoke out thoughtfully.

"How?" She curiously turned towards him. Now his hands around her waist. He smiled at her.

"Because, you are also my soul, my universe. Every inch of my heart is occupied by you and like the rain, you also colored my life in every form. All the love you give, all the sunshine that you bring in, you have given back my life. giving it a new direction, a new reason to live for. You are the essense of my life, Bondita....just like the water/rain for the Earth"

He placed a soft kiss on her forehead expressing how grateful and blessed he was to have her in his life. She couldn't hold back her tears to hear his words. Neither she could control herself from hiding in his embrace. Hugging him tightly she cried happy tears. He caressed her hair lovingly.

"Don't love me so much, destiny won't bear it. If we ever have to part......" He pulled her closest to resist her from going further with her rubbish talk. Experienced thousands of daggers stabbed in heart just by hearing this. "Never!!No one.....nothing has the power to separate us...got it?" He stated possessively. she nodded in agreement, looking in his eyes from his chest.

"But.....what if...."Her mouth got closed being shooted by his furious glare. She pouted cutely like a child.his heart melted. understood that she didn't really mean that. Cupping her cheeks, joined their forehead, spoke out softly "What if..?!... okay. If ever this happens then you also will have to come back to me again....just like the rain returns to heart of the Earth again and again....eternally, to give back It's life"

He saw her eyes twinkling. suddenly rain stopped. she looked at him with her spirkling eyes, said "see, The rain has left. If you can bring back the rain to heart of the Earth, then I will also come back to your heart if ever we parted"

He was shocked to hear her sudden demand. Nevertheless, He must fulfill her wish..!The sun crisped the flowers of the meadow were wilting. He gaped at the tufty clouds and begged for their parched petals to be given one more shot of insulin and prove their eternal connection. In an instant, The clouds obliged and rain descended in little gleam-drops of silver.
