Manzil ( kismat ka khel part -2) Completed

Abhi na jao chod kar

" didi ....mujhe subah se kuch ajeeb sa lag raha hai . kuch dino se dard bhi rehta hai " Bondita asked her with uncertainty . Judging Anirudh's reaction that day she decided not to tell him about the abdominal pain she was getting , it's mild though but she was getting anxious about the pain . And there's no doctor here to check her , only Saudmini is here who's experienced .

Saudamini halted in the mid work as she was washing clothes near the pond . Anirudh and Aditya built a temporary bathroom for them near the pond behind the tents area deep in the forest . Saudamini used to accompany Bondita and helped her in bathing . Currently hearing Bondita's worried voice ...she got alarmed .

" Tumhe dard jyada hota hai ya kam Bondita " Now she was standing . Worry etched in her face .

" kuch dino se thoda thoda tha ...aaj thoda sa jyada hai " She said her face contorting in pain . Saudamini reached and kneeled down in front of her . She kept a hand on her cheek and pried out her hair out of her face which was becoming damp from the sweat . " Bondita ....tumhara kitna mahina chal raha hai yeh . " She was suspicious . She was afraid of her answer . Because there'll be a bigger problem if her suspicion goes right .

" 8th wa mahine ka dusra hafta . "

And her suspicion was right .

She gathered her thoughts and took a deep and calming breath before answering her . " dekho ...Bondita main jo kehne jaa rahi hun usse dhyaan se sun na aur ghabrana nahi ...thik hai " She caressed her hair . Taking her pallu she wiped the sweat from her forehead . " aise dard aksar pregnancy mein hote hain ... mujhe bhi hote the ...jab meri delievery karib thi " She carefully answered her .

She got more anxious hearing the information from her . Her heart started to beat more faster in her ribcage as the fear started to crawl in . She was supposed to have one month left in her delivery . But she's having pain ...it's too early , it's too early for the babies . " par..pa-par ...mera ek mahina abhi baaki hai ...yeh..ye-h kaise ho sakta hai " Mini cupped her face and tried to calm her down . " Bondita ...maine kaha na daro mat . Aisa fake labor pain hota hai ...lagta hai ki delivery hojegi par aisa nahi hota . yeh emergency case hota hote reh jata hai . Aur kabhi kabhi baccha aathwe mahine mein bhi ho jata hai ...aur yeh koi darne wali baat nahi hai . meri delivery bhi Aathwe mahine mein hui thi . mera beta ek dum swasth paida hua tha . " She tried to console her fear as it seems to be working right now as her breathing got normal . She ran her fingers through her hair , soothing her lovingly . " aur agar kuch hua bhi to main hun na ? Main hun . Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dungi "

Bondita's breathing became swallow . Mini's word were consoling her but not to the extent that reaches her fear . But she have to put on her brave face , She have to gather her courage , She have steel herself . Not just for herself but also for her babies . And for her patibabu .

Anirudh was gathering his gear, his movements precise and determined. She could see the focus in his eyes, the way he spoke with the other Vidrohis, coordinating every detail of the mission. He exuded confidence and calm, but Bondita knew him too well. She could sense the underlying tension, the weight of responsibility pressing down on him. She wanted to go with him, to stand by his side as they faced the dangers together. But Anirudh had insisted she stay behind, her pregnancy making it too risky for her to join the mission. Bondita understood the logic, but it did little to quell the fear gnawing at her.

The thought of being separated from him, of not knowing if he would return, filled her with dread.

Anirudh finally looked up, his eyes meeting hers across the distance. In that moment, the world seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them. He crossed the clearing went to their hut, each step deliberate, until he stood before her. His hand reached out, gently caressing her cheek.
