Anidita: Mending the relationship

SEARCH: Part IV

I kept the turmeric milk on the table and stared at her lovely face. Her face shone brightly in the moonlight. I looked at her wound, which was now dressed. Unknown to me, my tear slipped from my eyes. Why she always hurt herself? I carefully took her hand in mine, not disturbing her sleep and caressed her wound.

I saw that her hair strands were falling on her face and disturbing her. I gently brushed her hair strands from her face and got lost in her innocent face. I leaned on her forehead and planted a soft kiss there. She slowly opened her eyes, trapping me in her beautiful eyes. For a moment, we both were lost in each other, but she shifted her gaze. I also shifted back at my position. An awkward silence prevailed in the room.

"Barrister babu! A-aap yaha kya kar rahe hain" She broke the silence and sat straight on the bed. 

Why the hell did I come here? 

"V-vo.......m-main....haan....ye haldi wala doodh laaya tha tumhare liye." I forwarded the glass to her while she started making weird faces. 

"Mujhe nahi peena" 

"Kyu nahi peena?" I frowned. 

"Mujhe achha nahi lagta " She kept her hand on her mouth.

"Bondita! Bachhi nahi ho tum, jo aisi harkate de rahi ho" I scolded her.

"Aapko jo kehna hai keh lo par main ye doodh nahi peeungi"

"Pakka nahi peeogi? " I asked her the last time. She moved her head on either sides.

Now I have to do this.

I looked in her eyes and started going close to her.

"B-barris-"

I shushed her by keeping my finger on her lips. She looked in my eyes and I maintained an eye contact with her. I kept on going close to her and she parted her lips, due to nervousness. I internally smirked and brought the glass near her lips and made her drink all the milk, not breaking the eye contact.

She drank the whole glass unknowingly and I gently wiped the remaining milk from the corner of lips. She closed her eyes and I smirked. I leaned back at my position and she opened her eyes. I showed the empty glass to her in a mocking way and she widened her eyes when she realised what I wanted to tell her.

"Ye cheating hai" She complained.

"Kaisi cheating? " I said innocently.

"Aapne-" She stopped abruptly and flushed red while I smirked at her.

"Batao na kya kiya maine? " I whispered in her ear in a husky voice.

"A-aap jaaiye yaha se mujhe s-sona hai" She pushed me and covered herself with the duvet while I giggled at her innocence.

"Hasiye mat aur jaaiye yaha se" She said, still inside the duvet. I shook my head and went from her room after switching off the lights.

"Dada! Mujhe bhi le chaliye" Batuk requested.

"Pagal ho Batuk! Main Ashi ko bachane jaa raha hu, garden mein ghumne nahi" I scolded him. 

I, Samarth and Som were going to search for Ashi. Arunima ji also wanted to come, but it's not safe for her to come with us. Bondita have convinced her to be here and that we will bring back Ashi.

"Par Anirudh! Agar kuchh oonch-neech ho gayi toh?" Kaka said worriedly. 

"Isliye toh kaka hum Batuk ko nahi le jaa rahe" Bondita supported me. 

"Aur tum bhi nahi jaa rahi ho" I said. 

"Haan.....Hain? Main kyu nahi? Main jaaungi" She frowned.
