Barrister babu: Love is magic

Chapter-45 "Devasted"

Splash!

I washed my face and looked in the mirror. My eyes were red and swollen, lips were shivering, face was red and puffed up. I touched my reflection in the mirror with trembling hands and turned away. No Bondita! You need to stay strong. You have cried a lot, now it's time for revenge.

Taking a deep breath, I went outside. I have been crying for 4-5 hours continuously. Anirudh tried to console me a lot but nothing worked. I looked around, there was no light in the room just like my life. Everything was shattered. If you wanna know the definition of 'Devasted' then just look at me.

I heard some footsteps and turned around. Anirudh was standing there with a plate of food. He came towards me, held my hand and made me sit on the bed.

"Bondita! " He called me, softly.

I hummed in response, still looking down. He made me look in his eyes with his index finger. Neither of us spoke a word. I hugged him tightly and sobbed.

"Bondita! Don't cry. " He broke the hug and cupped my face. "I will set everything on place. I promise. "

"How.....can we set......everything when.....when..... " I sobbed in middle of my sentence.

"We can do anything. I know what you are going through but believe me, we will not spare the killers of your mother. Hmm? "

I nodded.

He smiled, pressed my back on his chest and fed me the food.

Tears formed in my eyes remembering that they are not my parents! What a life I have got! My parents who raised me are saying that I am not their biological child and that my real parents are waiting for me but where? And how will I reach till them?

My chain of thoughts were interrupted by Anirudh's call.

"Bondita why are you crying? " He asked me noticing my tears.

I threw my arms around his torso and kept my head on his chest.

"Bondita what happened? " He said and tried to shift me but I held onto him more tightly.

"Please! 5 minutes. " I whispered and he let me hug him for sometime.

Why everything has to be so complicated? Why can't I live a normal life? First I need to find out who my real parents are and where are they? Secondly, who is Andrea? And how did she changed like a magical creature? Third, to find papa.

After 5 minutes, we separated and he made me lay on bed.

"Now sleep! " He commanded me and I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Bondita! Catch us! " I heard mumma and papa's voice.

I was just 8 years old and we were playing pakdam pakdai. I giggled and chased them but then suddenly they disappeared and my surroundings became black!

"Mumma? Papa? " I yelled, as I was scared.

"Come Bondita catch us! " I heard their voice echoing but can't see them.

"Where are you? " I said on the verge of crying. I ran here and there to search them but was unable to do so. My leg hit a rock and I fell down, hurting my knee. I started crying loudly and shouting their name.

"Bondita" I heard mumma's voice and turned back. She was gesturing me to come near her. I ran towards her and she kept on going somewhere. She went in a room and closed the door. I ran more fastly to reach till her and opened the door but no one was there. I looked around and it was mumma papa's room.
