Abyss

Together is Myth.

"I realised that we are together, just like the sun and the Moon."

Bondita's POV

2 years have passed and things have changed. Everything has revolutionized except that one thing which is constant in my chaotic life. And I think it can never change - My love for Mihir. I love him very much. No matter what happened, what can happen or what will happen. I just know one thing that I'll always be his. He's my happy place.

I told him some 23 months back, that I love him.

"Mihir I want to tell you something." I said as we were in his car. He wanted to go on a long drive. That day when we won the case, he wanted to go afar from the city. He seemed extremely happy for some unknown reason, i mean I could tell by looking at his face that he's happy because of some alien reason, not just because we won the case. It was more to it. Even when I asked him, he didn't tell but just curved his lips into a cute smile.

"Yeah I'm listening." He replied while still driving the car on a lonely highway. His biceps were evident through the shirt as he was handling the steering wheel with one hand and other moved through his well set hairs.

"I love you." I closed my eyes in embarrassment while saying. But yes. I said it. No slow motion, no melodramatic background music, no drama. I just said the three words.
I peeped at him by opening one of my eyes, as I felt that the car came to a hault. "Fuck!" I breathed for I was too conscious about his reaction.

"Are you sure?" He said with a slight serious tone and I realised that he listened everything. My cuss word too.
I couldn't stop myself and I laughed when he asked me again "Are you serious Bondita? You love me?"

"Yes." I pressed my eyelids close again. I could not see him, I still remember. He was the first one to whom I had said that. Bondita Das fell for someone. She loves someone hopelessly. And he's nobody but Dr Mihir Doshi. A neurosurgeon magnate.

"..and you are no less Bondita. Open your eyes. For I have also fallen for you Miss Bondita Das, a lawyer who's good at her work. A driven intelligent lady. And I love you." Mihir can read minds. He read mine.

"Do you do face reading or something?" I said all flushed with appreciation.

"Sort of. I read Bondita Das.." he raised his eyebrows while his eyes were still behind those shades.

"Don't be cheesy now." I made him face other side as I was literally blushing.

"No really..." He laughed and continued "I read you and I want this human book of mine to never end."

"Don't worry. Bondita is an abyss you won't come out of." I shrugged and said nonchalantly. Mihir pulled my right cheek and started the car again.

I remember he took me to a lonely Avenue, amidst a little foliage. We did bonfire, Witnessed the moon together, stargazing for the sky was crystal clear and ultimately slept in his car for that beautiful night. I'll always remember that night trip. It was gorgeous, specially after love confession everything seemed new and fresh.

With Mihir, I never realised that time was passing by so quickly and how close we became in just one or two months that Mihir decided to move out for a live in.
My dad gave me keys of our Mumbai bunglow to live in after a week of our win. And I shifted there and used to meet Mihir during my working hours at his house.
But my silly Mihir Doshi couldn't keep his hands off me, he missed me so much that he decided for a live in.

"Mihir hum milte to hain roz." I whinned because I wasn't sure if my mom dad will agree to our idea of moving together before marriage.

"I'm tired of these one hour meetings. I want to see you daily 24 X 7, I want to see you when I return from hospital, I want to see you when I wake up from the slumber, I want to see you working on your desk in front of my eyes. Got it?" he voiced the numbers and pulled me to him by my waist. My breathe hitched at the close proximity but I still managed to say "Mihir! It's tough."
