The Binding String

T W O

New cover is up. Let me know if you like it or not.

"What do you mean ki woh mujhse mil nahi sakti hai? Aur kal ki date kya? Abhi milne mein kya problem hai humse? How can she decide everything by her own?"

(What do you mean that she is unavailable? And why she gave us another date? How can she decide everything on her own?)

"I'm sorry bhai but...."

"Stop giving me baseless reasons Pathak. Mujhe kuch nahi sunna hai, I want to meet her right now."

(I am not in the mood to listen your baseless reasons, Pathak. I want to see her right now.)

"I'm sorry it can't happen."

"What do you think? Mr Raman bhalla woh family court ki judge hai not your employee jo aapke kehne pe saare kaam kare." Ishita arrogantly replied to her husband seeing him throwing orders on Pathak. She then moved towards Supriya, who was as going through some papers, "Yeh kya hai Supriya why another day? Roohi se kya baat hui hume yeh tak nahi pata chala. Kya matlab hua in sabka?"

(She is a judge of a family court, not your employee who will obey your commands. And Supriya why another date? Moreover, we don't even know what conversation took place between judge and Roohi.)

"I'm sorry Akka but the procedure is procedure. I need to leave now, I have a meeting to attend. Will see you tomorrow. " Supriya bid a bye to her client and moved towards parking area other side Ishita strode towards Mihika who was still present there, along with her husband.

Ishita Raman face fell with another disappointment when they came to know that there mother's left from the family court taking Roohi along and the judge called them to meet the next day. They were keen to know about the conversation held between the judge and there daughter. They were eager to know about the answers Roohi might have give to judge.

"Mihika you should have stop Roohi here. Mere aane ka toh wait kar leti."

(You should have wait for me Mihika.)

"Papa itni jaldi kya thi Mumma aur Amma ko Roohi ko ghar lekar jaane ki? Humare aane tak toh rukna tha na?" Raman questioned to his father, upset with his mother, mother in law and daughter's absence.

(What was the hurry to take her at home Papa?)

"Tujhe itni concern hai toh tujhe yahan se jana hi nahi chahiye tha na Raman. Tere liye pehle bhi tera kaam zaroori tha aur aaj bhi." Om Prakash Bhalla finally spoke, irritated and done with his son careless behaviour. "Aur Ishita puttar tum, tum toh Maa ho na, das minute ruk nahi sakti thi yahan? Humne tum dono ka aadhe ghanta aur wait kiya tha but tumhe fursat kahan hai? Roohi choti hai, yahan ka maahol dekh ke dar rahi thi isliye humne unhe ghar bhej diya. Mihir puttar mujhe toh lagta hai ki hume bhi ghar chale jana chahiye tha, in dono ke paas fursat nahi hai ki apne parivar par dhyan de paaye."

(If you're so much concerned for your daughter then you mustn't have left her at first place. And Ishita you're mother or her but still, you're not ready to spare a minute for her. Roohi is too young to face such atmosphere, moreover, Toshiji and Madhvi ji waited for you for more than thirty minutes but when you guys didn't show up they left taking Roohi along. Mihir beta let's leave now. They are enough mature to handle there issues.)

Om Prakash Bhalla glared at his son and daughter in law before making his way towards Mihir car. Mihika wished to have words with Ishita but the heated atmosphere didn't allow her to speak something else and she silently started to follow her husband.

"Chalo ab, jo kaand hona tha ho gaya hai ab toh."

(Let's go now, the damage is done now.)

Ishita narrowed her brows hearing her husband words, her nose flared with anger hearing his venomous words.
