ENDEARMENT (ON HOLD)

Endless Endeavours

As satisfaction of fulfilling a promise made the delighted soul rejoice in content, unable to fulfill the same promise made another feel crushed, ruffle and riled.

Got up percipitously as the sight of his weary Bondita replayed in his mind, eyes reddened jaws clinched veins popped out fists rolled in vexation.

Glancing his hands which reminded her made its way staining his cheeks in the same yellow as her priorly and vowed to extricate her withthat as the dyad's eyes locked they nodded in assurance and geared up.

Sun was all set to rest for day as he drove into the woods, stopped and darted towards her opening the bonnet, in state of funk felt relieved and splashed drops of water on her face trying to get her conscious back though looked worn out opened her eyes to close it instantly after recognising her Angrez dada.

Her increasing frailty was evident as he tried to open up the tied ropes, at the same time felt a harsh tug on his shoulder and before realizing was flipped onto the rough ground also was thrashed, beat violently by the duo perennially. Next, clutching his colors harshly and holding him dangerously close Anirudh growled "Mere Bondita ka apharan karega thu? How dare you? I will make sure you dont see the next sunrise." Sensing the bate state, understood their misconstruction tried to retort yet waned being floundered in writhe.

Though grew dozy still felt the whips and his howls woke her up, faintly discerning the sight forcefully dragged her timid frame and when about to plunge Rajeev caught hold of her beside the car, while her baba barged questions on her in contrary he barged the English stranger fiercely.

Unable to withstand more she squeaked at the duo "Ruk jayiye dono, aapko meri kasam" and this right away broke down the ruthless act up. Fear clouded their eyes though her well being modified their temper. Gaining pace pulled out her hands from her baba's and rushed for once focusing her steps thought it to be to embrace, enfold him and silently cherished at heart which broke when she sprinted past him and began to tend the stranger's wound yawping Angrez da. It pained him at her worry for some stranger and childishly he felt it was his all hers were his. As the duo glanced each other in uncertainty they heared him speak.

Seeing her anxious, with a subtle smile her Angez da spoke "I am alright Miss Elfin, completely fine just some bruises and its granted for you afterall" making her smile and eventually got up dusting the dirt off him.

"Bondita, tum janthi ho inko? Koun hai yeh aur yeh sab kya hai?" Rajeev asked impatiently as Anirudh too looked forward.

Staring the duo for a moment full of anger spoke out "Inka naam William Almack hai, British Soldier aur mein inhe Angrez da bulathi hoon. Yeh mere dosth hai aur inhe hi aaj muje bachaya apne hi log se." Pointing Rajeev then Anirudh, she spoke again "Aap dono inhe nahi janthe kyunki mein dar gayi thi baba aapko bathane se aur inse bolne ka moka hi nahi mila." and gave a  scoff in return to his whammy look.

Looking back, "sorry, extremely sorry all because of me, I apologise on their behalf and you need to aid your wounds instantly, Angrez da." To which he refused saying he was good and acted up as these whips din't pain him just to ease her.

She saw her sakha babu stepping ahead, glanced her baba after receiving a nod as she got assent by now turned her back to him puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms. Instantly smiled and stammered "Woh Bo Bon.. Bondita.." to which she eyed him furiously and spoke "toh baba chale, maa intezaar karthi hogi." Rajeev looked at Anirudh's dissatisfied face with pity, tried "woh Bo Bondita Anirudh babu..." as her furious gaze turned to him all his remaining words died before being out. After all Father can never go against his daughter whatever or whoever may be the reason, a daughter is a daughter to a father and undeniably was above all. Though Rajeev himself was unrest about his daughter's spleen for their treatment towards her new found brother yet tried to help Anirudh to go vain. Rajeev made his way to car with his lovely daughter not before glancing him encouragingly and murmuring a sorry to the English stranger.
