Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter23

"Bondita,Jaha se shuru hua, Chalo khatam bhi wohi karte hain..., May I have the permission to fulfill our mothers promise and make those promises again...?" A gasp escaped her lips due to sudden adrenaline rush to hear his Unexpected proposal. She remembered the day when he first proposed her and requested about the same but that time situation wasn't in their favour. Today she felt like that day was back again. With tears filled eyes she gazed at him and nodded fervently. They looked towards the priest, who passed a cordial smile Indicating them to go ahead.

"Bondita, I married you with my soul and heart. I married you with every breath,in every heartbeat.I married you with my eyes, every future dream and my ever birth. We are committed to each other by our heart and soul that we don't need to make any other commitment in the name of marriage, neither marriage defines our relationship or love But still as a cultural universal we will perform it....

Looking deep into each other's teary eyes, they started taking vows...

Anirudh:- Bondita....You were my reason to smile, reason to breath, reason to live..my reason back then, my reason now, my reason everyday and forever. You are my Sunshine that brightens up my day, my moonlight that erases the darkness of my earth. You are my universe,my whole existence. You strengthen my weakness, bring focus on my life, my dreams. Yeah, I could promise to hold you and to cherish you. I could promise to be in sickness and health. I could say, till death do us apart. But I won't. Those vows are for optimistic couples. The ones full of hope and I do not stand here, on this special day, optimistic or full of hope. I'm not optimistic, I'm not hope full. I'm sure, I'm steady. And I know that I'm a heart man, I take them apart and I put them back together and I hold them in my hands. I'm a heart man, so this I'm sure you are my lover, my partner, my very best friend,my soul, my heart. My heart beats for you and I breath for you. So, Here and on this day, again I pledge my life to yours. I promise you to lay my heart on the palm of your hands. I promise you....ME. Jaan, you are the queen of my heart and I promise to treat you accordingly. I will fight for you against the whole world, both with words and swords. I never care for the world, for I know you are with me . No matter where life leads me , I know that as long as you are there, that is where I am meant to be...ever and forever"

He ended making her wear the pendant followed by a soft promising kiss on her forehead. Her black deep orbs filled with admiration, love and gratitude for him was stucked to his pure charming face. A few drops of tears trailed down from her beautiful eyes, which were again captivated by his winsome one and losing herself in the depth of those deep brown, she proceeded..

Bondita:- Anirudh....I can take my whole life on you. My each drop of blood is yours. blood flows through my veins in your name, every beat of my heart is in your name. You owe my smile and tears, my strength and my fears, my closest and my dears. You are the dews on my leafy life, sprinkling the coolness on my burning heart. When the dawn comes, you are the everlasting sun in my lonely sky. Remaining for a long time after imparting warmth, you turn as moon and remain there. If I am clouds then you are my rain. If I am flower then you are my honey. All the good in my life is only because of you.You have brought such joy to my life. Thank you for loving me as I'm and taking me into your heart. From now on, Even if the whole world apart, I will be right by your side. I promise to walk by your side forever. And to love, help and encourage you in all that you do. I will take the time to talk to you, to listen to you, to care for you and to love you unconditionally and eternally. Through all the changes of our lives, I will be there for you always...as strength in need, a comfort in sorrow, a counselor in difficulty and companion in joy. Everything I am and Everything I have is yours...now and forever more...."
