Benaam Rishta:An Invisible String

Chapter4

He entered in the room. The room was cold and dark. Ambiance bleak. Dim light on the side table was only source of visibility. In the semi-darkness it was difficult to make out the illustration. However, His restless eyes found their destination, her, she lay there, at the other side of the bed, facing her back to the door. Her long tresses spread across her pillow. the thin continental quilt, was covering her, now displaced. he couldn't descried much but spotted a dark stain on the white bedsheet below her.

Before he had a chance to take in the matter , One more screech reached his ear only to pass him electric shock. he sprinted to her in lightening speed.

"Bondita...!!!!

"Biristra Babuu.." she wanted to, tried to see him, if he was there for real but was too weak to put minimum efforts for moving her fatigue body. She didn't know what happened to her, what's happening! Just felt dreadful wave of pain brewing in her stomach. with great difficulty she managed to hold out one shivering hand to him to be grabbed by him at once.

"Bondita! "He held her hand closer, rubbed with his palms softly. "Biristra Babuu..." She cried louder, ceasing the motion of his hand. Her tight grip on him scared him to the core.

"Call the doctor! CALL SHUBHAM !!! RIGHT NOW....!!!. " He yelled, to whom, didn't know. didn't look. Just wanted someone to do the favour.

Koyeli entered in. Next Trilochan too had reached the room followed by Bihari, but was frozen on the spot to hear one's heart-wrenching scream and other one's order more like begging. His mind went numb to witness the horrific sight before his eyes. On Understanding the gravity and urgency of the situation he dragged himself downstairs to make a call to doctor.

She kept her hand on his and pressed that on her stomach to indicate something couldn't put in words. "It's..here... it's pain..paining..." came her raspy whimper. He looked at the place and then at her face. nodded understanding what she ment . Pressing knees on the bed, He pulled her terribly trembling figure up to make her sit and held her properly. She was tottaring like a leaf , sweating profusely. Breathing uneven. He threw away all the hesitation and started rubbing her belly trying to sooth her pain.

"Something is happening. It's...
It's...paining...I...m..." She let out another scream, curling up like a turtle. Suspenders tightened around him due to the firmness of her hold. "Bo.. Bondita...calm down. Bondita. It will be....fine. everything wil be okay... just...." He barely whispered. Feeling restless on her misery and his helplessness. "I'm dieing...!! Biristra Babuu..!!! save....me...." Tears entered his eyes. No. He couldn't fall weak. He needed to stay strong. For her. She already was traumatized. Back there at the hut she had professed a wish of going to the sky to her parents. He knew it was an adrupt response of her disturbed mind. But now as the reality hit she got more frightened. It was way arduous to witness such barbarity, so cruel sight.

"Shhh...shhh...stop." he patted her cheeks. A drop of tears fell on her cheeks from his eyes. Unknowingly. "don't...say so. Nothing will happen to..to you. Don't worry... doctor will be in a minute. here...see...."

"Don't know where this Batuk has gone..." Trilochan murmured in quivering tone, saddled with fear. but his meek voice couldn't escape her ear. At an instant her screaming, squirming stopped. He felt her Body go rigid in his arms as she looked at him with pain filled eyes. She clutched his shoulder in a death grip, knocking his fear to another level. Her lips quivered expressing the intensity of struggle she was having to utter a word.

" NO ONE !!!" It was an alarm "No one will be calling him..." He bellowed to his Kaka . "Batuk isn't at..not at home. He...he won't come here.. don't...wor.. worry...." it was just for her. Her to hear. Her to know. He tried to assure her, praying she understood him.
