Anidita's love and fate (Completed ✅)

Chapter 98

Anirudh was feeling extremely restless after the evening incident where Anay almost got hurt. The flashes from his past came before him. He wanted something which could sooth his restlessness and when he turned he saw the packet of cigar on his table.

He went towards the table and took the packet but was in a dilemma whether to use it or not. The case was different now. Bondita and Mini are home and Anay is also close to him. If they come to know about his this habit they might get upset with him which he can't afford at any cost.

But his restlessness and shivering hands were not helping him. He glanced at the door and saw it closed but didn't notice it was unlocked. He took one cigar and brought it near his lips and held it between his parted lips. He took the lighter from the drawer and with the click sound the fire lit the cigar. He threw the lighter carelessly on the table and took a long puff and let it out.

He stood near the window, glancing at the dark star studded sky. He was in his grey satin night suit. He slowly leaned onto the window pane. His hands rested on his pane.

He took another puff and when he was about to release it he heard the sound of the door opening slowly. He immediately turned to be shocked to see the most unexpected person there.

He threw the cigar into the ashtray kept on the table and released the smoke by waving his hands in the air. He went towards that person and tried holding their shoulders but that person moved back.

"Bondita..." He softly called her name.

"You smoke? From when?" she asked with a frown.

"Woh... mai..." he couldn't frame a sentence.

"I just have one question! Is it because of me?" she asked, holding his hands in hers.

He nodded his head in denial.

"Then?" she asked, still looking into his eyes but he was not looking at her.

"Bondita... mai... I smoke but neither you are not the reason nor anyone else. It's just that I feel relieved when I smoke and no one is at fault! Please don't consider yourself responsible for my changed habits!" he said, holding her hands tightly and hung his head down.

"Patibabu, why are you torturing yourself? I understand why you are behaving so differently. If I don't understand then who will?! I was not here so you started these habits. But please don't continue with these habits anymore. First of all you are a heart patient and doctors have asked you to stop these habits and secondly don't you think you are setting a wrong example to our kids?! I know it's difficult for you to stop it all of a sudden but please don't depend on smoking and drinking so much! " she said softly to him.

He shot up listening to her knowing about his excessive drinking also.

"How... how you know that I drink so.. So much?!" he asked, stammering.

"Nothing escapes Bondita's eyes!" she said with a slight smirk.

"Joh hua so hua.. But now we are gonna start fresh.. From this moment! Okay?" she asked with a smile.

He happily nodded his head and said, "Haan! Abse I'll reduce smoking and no excessive drinking! Shotti!"

"Patibabu, don't worry I'll help you to gradually stop these habits because I want to live with you not for just one or two years more but till eternity!" she said smiling and his eyes glistened with tears.

"Even I want to live with you Mishti... actually not only you but with my Angel and Anu too!" he said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

She nodded happily and hugged him tightly. He reciprocated the hug and sobbed in her embrace.
