Ajnabee - The ecstasy of one sided love. ( completed )

Chapter 27

The clock ticked in the dark room with the only source of moonlight . The second pin on the clock ticked making the tick tock sound echo in the room.

The ball touched the ceiling creating a thumping sound and then came back to his hand. The whole world slept soundly without a sound but he didn't.

This whole photo thing made his head filled with mess. Thoughts after thoughts tugged his nerves making him drowning in the ocean. The moonlight fell directly upon his face creating a silvery glow on him.

Destiny plays very dirty games isn't it.

Bondita knew him. She knew him before he did. And when he thought about the incident that occurred years ago the confirmation just dawns upon him. The evening when he was waiting for Saudamini in their usual meeting place but she didn't come. He waited three hours that day , even begged to the God . The exact words of pray still echoed in his brain.

He could still feel the faint evening sunlight through the trees disappearing on the dry leaves. He remembered looking at the old tree and taking out the sacred red thread from his right hand and tying it around a branch.

Main Inn sab cheejon mein biswaas nahi karta. Kabhi kar hi nahi paya. Maine apni dil ki dhadkan kabhi mehsus hi nahi ki, hamesha apne dimaag se kaam liya.

.....par aaj pata nahi kyun mera mann kuch aur hi keh raha hai. Dil bechain sa hai.

Mujhe kuch nahi chahiye.  Bas mera pyaar sahi salamat ho....bas mera pyar mere paas ho .

as he finished tying the red string around the branch he heard the bristling sound in the bushes . But there was no wind . He ignored it . When he was about to return the sound came again and this time with a hiss . A human hissing sound . He followed into the deep bushes , he let aside the wild plants and the scenario made him surprise . 

Red foot prints followed the path , and when he looked for the source there was a girl around 14/15 of age  limping through the forest barely able to walk . His instincts told him to help her . 

" suno " he called . 

she closed her eyes for a second then started walking .

she must fear him so she ignored but he has to help her , if her blood continues to flow like this there will be a serious issue . 

" aree suno " he called out again but she ignored . she tried to walk faster but damn it hurt her . suddenly she felt his presence behind her and in a blink she felt her body was floating in the air . she felt his touch behind her knees and on the small scarred back of hers . As a reflex she held on to his neck . she turned to him wide eyed and he held her gaze . He looked down at her face for long moments , getting lost in those beautiful eyes . she was no different , the time around her stopped too . 

And today he realized a small thing but it has deep impact . she was stranger to him that day , and He was a stranger to her too . But in normal circumstances she  would have caused a scene . she would have thrust her hands and legs to save herself , she would have fear the stranger he was and she would have saved herself from the stranger . She would have slapped him across his face for the stunt he has pulled . For touching her , for lifting her in his arms without taking her consent . 

But she didn't . 

She was shocked for sure , but he didn't find any fear in her eyes that day . Those brown irises were looking at him with a little shock and .....a lot of sadness . Even back then he hated the sadness in them . The almond eyes made him feel an unknown bliss that he didn't knew he needed . He was committed to another woman , he knew he was guilty and yet he couldn't stop himself from drowning in those honey forest like eyes .
