His Lost Heartbeat

F.B ²

Trilochan Roy Chowdhury had once said that Anirudh' s relation with Bondita would snatch everything from him .His words were nothing but the reflection of foresightedness of a man who  wanted nothing except happiness of his nephews. At that Day , he could see that how his nephew had sacrificed his everything just to save a little girl who was nobody for him .

But Trilochan was  not someone who would take rituals as granted. His nephew has married the girl with all rituals ,so for him that girl was wife of Anirudh and the eldest daughter- in- law , even if Anirudh was not ready to accept her as his wife.

With passing time,he had started growing affection towards that little girl but still he couldn't ignore the situation of his nephew who ,in the age of raising his child, was raising his child bride .His experienced eyes could see the depth of their bond and their booming affection and at the same time it could also foresee the future of the couple which was not going to be smooth .He had the trepidation that Anirudh could never see  Bondita like a husband should see . For him, she would always remain his little princess. That's why he forced Anirudh to at least think about her in that light .He even made him eat intoxicated sweet at the night of his 'fullo sojja' .But even at that night he ended up singing lullably for his wife , only to give reason to his kaka to visit ENT doctor by his endless shouting on the very next day.

He still couldn't understood his reason to be so much furious afterall Bondita was his wife. But he understood one thing that Anirudh was not only angry but even disgusted with the thought of spending night with his wife.

His reaction increased the worry of Trilochan by ten folds .His apprehension was not wrong. Within some years ,Bondita's growing feeling for Anirudh was evident . He could see the changes of Bondita around Anirudh . Amidst the boldness and carelessness of girl ,He could see the hue of shyness and grace of a  woman in her. Everyone could see ,except Anirudh. He, neither noticed,nor acknowledged her feelings and thus kept her hurting by his oblivion.

When Anirudh shouted on her for carving his name on her body, Trilochan can't remain silent he did what he thought was right .He told Bondita to speak up for her right .And for the first time she listened to him and after that fight both of them started living in the same room .But Trilochan happiness didn't last for long time when Bondita,  herself, went in her separate room .

After that he had left every hope of any kind of normal relationship between them ,till Bondita would turn into a fully grown woman in the eyes of Anirudh. He doesn't know  when that will happen.

But what happened Today again  reincarnated his hope.

All thanks to Shaurabh who came to their home with two pot of 'Rasogulla '. As usual Bondita can't wait to hear good news and put a rasgulla in her mouth .

"Tum phir se Massa banne wale ho , Anirudh" Saurabh informed and the rasgulla that was kept on her mouth just slipped inside and stuck in her throat, making her caugh badly.

"Bondita ...." Anirudh caress her back immediately while forwarding water to her.

After gulping water , she looks up at her with teary eyes , conveying her thoughts to him.

"Itne Vistar se nhi sochte hai ,Bondita " Anirudh whispers while trying to control his smile. She is still trying to digest the information that she gets last night.

"Mai Jan bujh kar thori soch rahi hu" She mutters before eyeing at Saurabh.

"Bondita , Saurabh ko badhai to do" Anirudh  speaks loudly ,after congratulating Saurabh whole heartedly.

"Ha, Badhai ho .Bahut achchi khabar hai" Her expression are definitely not matching with her words.

"Kismat wale hote hai wo Ghar jaha bachche ki kilkari gunjti hai ." Said Trilochan " Ek humara Ghar hai " He turns towards Anirudh.
