ENDEARMENT (ON HOLD)

Closeness

"VISHWAS,
CHAHNA,
SAMAJNA,
DOST BANNA,
AKIR JAAN SE BHI JYADHA MEHTVA..."

The empty road of the Tulsipur was ace with chirping of birds, gushing of river, clatter of the dancing leaves to the blowing wind.
Ignoring all, her eyes focused on a well known silhouette from far, very far, very very far who walked to her.
Her excited eyes, exhilerated heart waited for the morning fog to disappear so that her eyes could see him, her him.
She was thrilled on knowing him, the reason behind her happiness.
For once, her eyes fought the fog for its existence as it blocked her from viewing him.
Yet, she could see him nearing. Nearing more he wide opened his hands for her, inviting her to fuse with him and finally become one with him.
Her legs moving, running and reaching him clutched and burried her face in his chest.
Stirred, his fragrance, very known, very much familiar as it was the only fragrance she adored. It was him.
"Bondita..." his voice triggered her.
Lifting her head up to him spot him as he grinned.
Got up hastenly, trying to catch hold of her breathes with her wide eyes she gasped, "Sakha babu..."

05.00 AM, Study

The blow of the fresh early morning breeze was so cold rattling the glass windows that all four were wrapped in a shawl above their uniform securing them from the piercing chillness.
Anirudh and Veer stood in front giving the last minute instructions for their last exam Maths.

Batuk huffed out his breathe, "Huh..." covering himself in an extra shawl.
"Joh bhi yaadh hai wahi likenge na, inko kya... kuch shabdh kehke chale jathe.
Agar itna hi parva hai humare, khoodh dete humare pariksha humare liye."
Bondita rolled her eyes.

"Arey! Matha ji.
Abb tum shuru math hojaou...
Pehle hi yeh tand pareshan kar rahi hai aab tumari baashan sunney ka shakthi nahi hai, Batuk ke andar." Batuk said,
Joining hands before her dramatically.
She ignored him.

Anirudh was serious in reminding them the various tricks, process to solve a difficult equation.
While Bondita was completely lost in him, her ears though hearing him.

Her eyes focused on him, discerning him. She viewed his perfectly gelled hair that swung along the passing air, the tense lines on his not so wide forehead made her frown yet her eyes met his excited orbs that danced as his brows stretched, his small nose was slippery, downing her eyes fixated on his lips... it was churlish and tempting.
She gulped the lump formed in her throat, nervously.

Her jaw dropped down when her eyes downed more, sleeves rolled up and his white shirt with no waist coat showed his chisseled body.
For once, she wanted to unbutton and trace his front with her fingers.
Clad in his casual attire, the weather or his unusual charm pulled her to him.
Her gaze with open mouth, chin resting on her hand with her elbow on the desk. Supporting her.
The reason was still yet to be known, she felt obsence at her growing thoughts yet inner liked and was in a fraught to fulfill it.

"Woh kahin baag nahi jaa rahe,
Itna math gooriye mere dada ko kahin apka hi nazar na lag jaye." Batuk said, Bondita panicked but Saudamini and Veer shied at his comment.
It was then, she let out a breathe.
As her gaze returned to him saw him grinning, she moved her eyes away instantly.

An hour passed and all got up to leave for the breakfast,
"Bondita, tum ruko." His voice strict, she feared of being caught.

All left out while Bondita pressed her eyes tight in fright,
"Bondita... yehaan aou."

She was too timid, yet turned back and walked feebly to him.
Nearing, catching her shoulders he made her sit on his study couch while he knelt before her.
His touch on her shoulders made her heart beat fast anticipating more from him.
His gaze fixed on her while hers roamed everywhere but him.
