Continued from the previous part....

Bondita came with a glass of water and stood beside Anirudh....handing over it to him she whispered with a beautiful smile,"Janmaashtami ki Shubhkaamnayein Mere Murli Manohar!... "

Anirudh raised his eyebrow asking her about the reason and took a sop of water while she spoke up, "Dekhi Hai maine aapki study mein rakhi aapki Baansuri!... Maa ne bataya mujhe ki aapko kitna shauk hai Baansuri bajaane ka!...", she said giggling... And he coughed in shock!...

As soon as he recovered Anirudh said,"Tum bhi na Bondi... Kahin se bhi kich bhi pata laga leti ho!...vo toh bahut bachpan mein seekhi thi... Ab kahaan?.."

Bondita announced," Ji nahi!... Aap abhi Chhat pe chalenge aur mujhe Baansuri bajaake sunaayenge!.... Maine keh diya toh bas keh diya!.. "

Anirudh rolled his eyes and nodded as he knew she wont let him go easily!...

After everyone departed to their rooms Bondita held his hand and took him to the terrace... He asked her to sit on the swing and standing by the railing he started playing the flute!...

H

e played the flute and she started singing the song along with the music... He too got encouraged and they had a lot of fun that day!...

Bondita loved watching him play the flute for her!... And she smiled merrily!... Anirudh too was loving playing for his love!

"Aaaachhhhuuu", suddenly Bondita sneezed hard!...

(Author- lo ho gya kaam!😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

Anirudh glared at her and stopped playing the flute!... She tried really hard to control... So that he doesnt knows.... But she was sneezing continuously!

Anirudh inspite of getting worried got really angry!... He went to her held her hand and took her to their room...

Bondita knew she was going to get a good scolding today!...she just followed him liek an obedient child!...

Anirudh made her sit on the bed and looking at her sadly went to take the medicine box.... He sat beside her and started looking for medicines...

"Sorry Pati Babu!...", she tried to talk, but he didn't respond..."Bas Thodi si hi sardi hui hai... Thik ho jaayegi...", she tried justifying but he didnt even pay a heed!...

Anirudh touched her forehead and finding it hot... Gave her a grave look and handed her a tablet with a glass of water... She had it quickly without saying a word...

He took the glass and stood up to leave... Bondita held his hand to stop him... But he turned and freed himself...

Bondita was shocked to see this side of him!... He had never ignored her... But this was really saddening her!

He didnt uttera word and lied on his corner of the bed switching off his side lamp...

Bondita just kept looking at him all the time... Moving her head with his movements around the room...

"Bola toh I am sorry pati babu!..", she said getting a bit irritated...

Anirudh looked at her with an expression less face and replied,"haan toh?!.. Maine kuch kaha kya?!.... So jao Bondita!.."

Bondita felt like crying!... She got shivers down her spine listening to what he said!... It looked like a simple statement... But for her it was not!... Her Pati Babu meant the world to her... And such responses were killing her!...

She came and lying on the bed, tried hugging him... But her turned around saying, "Bondita mujhe bahut neend aarhi hai so jaao..."

She was literally taken aback!... Left his hand and sat up on the bed resting her back against the bed rest... She wanted to cry but couldn't....

Anirudh was clearly ignoring her!... He was really worried about her and this worry of him was coming out like this!...

Bondita held her shoulder and turned him around to face her... She could sense his sadness too!...He wasn't happy ignoring her either!... But he hid it!

Bondita pleaded, "pati babu kuch toh boliye please!..."

Anirudh sat up beside her and replied with a sigh, "Main kya bolu Bondita?!... Kuch nahi bolna hai Mujhe!...meri kahi Kisi baat ka koi asar hota hi nahi... Toh kya faayda!..."

Bondita side hugged him and said almost crying, "Aise mat kahiye na please!.. Main aapse bahut pyaar karti hu pati babu!... Aap toh meri jaan hain!..."

He held her by her shoulders and parted with a jerk... His anger was now clearly visible!...

He started speaking what was unspoken till now... He tried speaking calmly, but his anger wasnt hidden!...

He said, "haan bas tumhi pyaar karti ho na?!.. Main toh pyaar karta hi nahi!... Tumhaari liye main jaan hu... Sansaar hu... Par tum toh mere liye kuch ho hi nhi na?!..."

He said raising his voice in anger, "Maine jab mana kiya tha tumse.. Ki nahi bheegna hai baarish mein... Tab kyu nhi suni meri?!... Tumhe thoda sa bhi samajh nhi aata... Agar yeh sirf sardi hoti toh main kuch na kehta!.... Bukhaar dekha hai apna?!...touch karte hi pata chal rha hai ki 103 se kam nhi hoga!... Aur uske baad bhi sharam nhi hai!.... Chupaane ki koshish ki na mujhse?!..."

"Nahi pati babu main vo..."she tried speaking... She was really scared!...

He interrupted,"kya nahi pati babu?!... Itna tez bukhaar ek ghante mein toh hua nhi hoga?!.... Mujhe kuch sunna hi nhi hai Bondita!... Tumhe jo karna hai karo!.. Meri toh ek baat tumhaare dimaag mein ghusti nhi!..."

She hugged him tightly and started crying...he had folded his arms and turned his face to the other side...

She looked upto him and sitting straight held her ears and spoke up, "pati babu pls maaf kar dijiye na...maine nahi batay kyunki aap chinta karte!... Aur phir kabhi baarish mein nhi bheegne dete.... Aap pls mujhe daant lijiye!... Par pls aise ignore mat kijiye!... Mujhe bilkul accha nhi lagta!..", she said and started crying...

Her tears were always his weakness!... He held her hands and bringing them down wiped her tears...

He cupped her face and kissed her forehead softly.

He said in a stern voice,"Tum meri Jaan ho Bondita!....aur mujhe kabhi kuch mat chupana!... Tumhaare baare mein jaanne ka... Tumhaari chinta karne ka mujhe pura haq hai!... Aur agar tum mujhse chhupaao... Toh naraaz hone ka bhi pura adhikaar rakhta hu main!...samjhi?!"

Bondita hugged him even tighter and nodded in a yes... He tucked her in the blanket and kissed her forehead...

"Its okay jaan!..", he whispered softly and she smiled at him holding his hand....

Anirudh kissed her hand softly and patted her to sleep....

He thought to himself,"Agar kal shaam tak Bondi thik nhi hui... Toh isme Shimla nhi le jaaunga... Vahaan toh thand bhi hogi iss samay...." He sighed... "Bhagwaan ji jaldi se thik kar dijiye Meri Bindi ko!..."

He hugged her and slept....
