Manzil ( kismat ka khel part -2) Completed

Dard ki dawa

 chot lagi hai usse phir kyun mehsoos mujhe ho raha 
dil tu bata de kya hai iraada tera 
main parinda besawar , tha uda jo dar badar 
koi mujhko yun mila hai ,
jaise banjaare ko ghar 

Anirudh hurriedly searched for his wallet as he was already  getting late . he searched for everywhere but couldn't find it then he new only one person can find it now . 

" Bondita " he called 

After few minutes she reached his room . it was strange that he didn't heard the jingle of her anklets . he turned to saw her and her expression was .... there was something painful in it . 

" ji aapne bulaya " Bondita said holding back her emotions . she was trying to not to break in front of him . she gave him a forced smile . " han woh mujhe mera wallet nahi mil raha tha to .. " he said getting slightly suspicious . " main abhi dhund ke de deti hun " she walked past him and tried to find his wallet here and there . he was silently focusing on her and he realized there was rush in her movements . 

" tum.... thik to ho na " he said from her back noticing her tremble . 

she clutched the wallet to herself , taking a deep breath before turning to him . she got up and turned to him . she kept her demeanor as normal as possible " mujhe kya hoga main bilkul thik hun " he forwarded his hand to see if she has fever but it started shaking badly so he took it back . it devastated her to see him like this . she hold back a cry that emerged from her heart . 

" main niche jaa raha hun " he said not even turning fo a second . 

when he got out of the room she broke down on her knees , keeping both of her hands on her mouth . The sob she was trying to hold back came to her with full force . Suddenly her gaze got stuck with a glass vase in their room . she got up and and roughly wiped her tears . she went to the glass vase and threw it on the floor making it shatter into million pieces . she crouched down and took the biggest and sharpest glass piece in both of her hands and let her skin tear through it . she closed her eyes and let the pain sear through her . Blood drops fell on the floor painting the glass pieces from  transparent to red . 

Anirudh rushed through the stairs after listening the sound . he went straight to his room and saw Bondita kneeled down and the broken pieces on the floor . he came near her and his heart got stuck in his throat seeing the blood . 

Bondit's both of the hands were covered in blood and they were bleeding badly . he rushed and kneeled down . " B-bon-ndita hEY BHAGWAAN  it-itna khoon . ye-h kya kar rahi tum . kisne kaha tha kaanch ko haath lagane ko dekha nahi kitna b-bada ghao ho gaya  . " he gently took her hands in his without hesitating for a second to check the wounds . 

" m-main pehle dressing kar de-deta hun phir doctor ke paas chalenge " he said panicking  . he got the first aid box from the bathroom and crouched down beside her . he took the antiseptic and poured it on the cotton ball . " t-thoda dard hoga isse " he said before dabbing the cotton ball on her wounds and softly blew  . this whole time Bondita just sat there without flinching and just looking at him . he maybe was afraid of touching her but he could never back away from caring her . he could let go his thousand fears and insecurities  for her and her sake only  . he wrapped the bandage around her hands .

" don't worry itna gehra ghao bhi nahi hai ki stiches lagane pade baaki dressing to tumne ki hi thi . ho sake toh yeh ointment likhke deta hun laga dena jaldi thik ho jayega " the doctor said to Anirudh . He nodded in understanding . he got up to get home but Bondita remained seated . 

" chalo " 

" aap jayiye main doctor se kuch baat karke ati hun " she plastered a smile and spoke to him .  he looked at her strangely but nodded understandingly .
