The Sacred Bond

Pihu's pov

Rajababu was watering the flowers. I was sitting in the bench and dangling my legs. He loves flower. I have always seen him getting extremely happy after seeing flowers. When he was medically fit, he used to visit the Garden everyday. That time I watched him from far. I have never thought of coming infront of him. I always got nervous after seeing him.

But in present, I'm watching him without any nervousness. He is just a small kid. I'm very much comfortable around him. Infact I'm liking his kid version more. His questions are like my oxygen. I can't even imagine a single day of my life without him.

What will happen when he will get better? He will not stay with you!

For a second my heart covered with an unknown pain. I felt that the whole world has turned bitter for me. The mere thought of him living me, scared the shit out of me. How can I be able to breathe without him? I have become completely dependent on him.

"Doll......what are you thinking? I'm calling you so many times"

My chain of thought broke with Rajababu's voice. He is looking angry. Suddenly he picked me on his arms in bridal style and started to walk faster inside the mansion.

"Rajababu..what are you doing? Put me down"

I held his shoulder tightly in fear.

"No i will not....you are looking sad...you have to tell me why are you sad....you are hiding things from me... it's bad.....i will not put you down...first tell me why are you sad?"

We reached on the terrace. He is still holding me on his arms. I looked at him in pity. He is a strong man. How easily he came on the terrace by carrying me and his breathing is absolutely normal.

It's not possible for someone to hurt him physically like this. I'm sure someone tricked him and did all these to him. I will find them all.

"Again you are not talking? What happened to you?? Are you not happy here? Are you missing your Village?"

His innocence melted my heart. I cupped his face gently.

"I'm happy here...but i was just worried for you"

I told him. A frown appeared on his face.

"Why? Have i done anything wrong? But i listen everything what you said...i promise i will never get angry....And i finished my homework on right time...i also drank the milk last night and i took the medicines..."

I don't know what happened to me but his cute blabbering creates a very affectionate feeling inside me. I kissed his forehead.

But instantly i pulled apart!

My face flushed and i immediately realised my mistake. Rajababu slowly puts me down. He is staring at me by gaping his mouth.

I closed my eyes in shame. I wish I could hide this embarrassment!!! Pihu have some shame!

I turned my head away.

"Rajababu, it's time for you to take a nap"

I tried to change the topic.

"Doll....what you did?"

His question make me to bang my head somewhere. I felt like to die in embarrassment.

"What? I did...n...nothing.... let's play Ludo okay..."

I held his wrist and started to walk towards the stair.

"Doll.....stop....i won't go.."

This time i turned my head towards him. He is looking at me with a serious expression. I got more tensed.

"Rajababu, you will catch cold...good boys always listen...they never argue...now come come"

I again tried to pull him but he stood stubbornly.

"Then do it again...."

My eyes widened in shock. I stared at him by gaping my mouth. He immediately bend a bit infront of me and showed me his forehead by his index finger.

"Do it again..."

I looked around in tension. I know his demand is like a kid but how can I forget that he is actually a grown up man. I felt very shy suddenly.

"Do it...."

He said with some kind of desperation but it's not the desperation of a man who is craving for a woman's love but it's the desperation of a child who is craving for affection and care. His eyes were showing that he found that affection within me. That's why he is asking for this, just like the way a kid craved for her mother's attention.

I slightly pulled myself on my toes and kissed his forehead affectionately. This is not wrong. This is the most righteous thing i have ever done.

A smile crept on his lips and his eyes dance in happiness.

"Now it's my turn"

Within a second he held my head and kissed my forehead. I felt shivers all over me. This is so pure and blissful.

"Now I'm ready for a nap"

He again picked me up on his arms and walked downstairs. I giggled after seeing his over energetic state. I always want to see him like that.

...................,.......

It was almost midnight. My sleep broke with some sounds. I looked around and my eyes got fixed on Rajababu's bed. He is sitting on the bed by holding his stomach and groaning continuously.

"What happened Rajababu?"

I immediately get on his bed and held his back.

"My stomach is hurting.....i can't sleep....."

He is sweating too much. The airconditioner is on, still he is sweating extremely. I cleared his sweat with my pallu.

"Doll.... I'm not feeling well...."

He almost cried. I got tensed.

"Okay, I'm calling the doctor...you will be fine"

I was about to get down but he held my wrist and pulled me back.

"Don't go please... I'm scared.... I'm so scared....."

He started to cry in fear. My heart sank at the sight. What is happening to him?

Baivab has called the best neurologist for his treatment. Dr. Akshay Batra is treating Rajababu.

"Rajababu...you will be fine okay.."

Tears also gathered in my eyes after seeing his state. But i controlled myself. I have to keep my calm.

"I'm having pain here... I'm scared...i saw a ghost...."

He started to cry louder. He clutched me tightly and buried his head in my chest. He was crying furiously. I have never seen him like this before. His every tears were stabbing my heart.

Ranima and Rajasaab entered our room immediately. They also got panicked after seeing Rajababu's state.

..............................

"I have given him tranquiliser...he will get better when he will woke up"

Dr. Batra said.

"But what happened to him? He was doing fine...."

I asked the doctor.

"I'm also not getting this....we need to run a CT scan to know this better....We will also perform some other tests... don't worry"

The doctor left with Baivab. We all stayed awake through the whole night. I don't know why but my heart is continuously giving me bad signals. It kept on telling me that something is not right.

Next morning, i went to the temple. Rajababu is still sleeping. My heart is very much restless. I went inside the temple and sat infront of the idol of Lord Krishna. Whenever i feel scared or tensed, i do this. This gave me strength always.

I closed my eyes and prayed to God. I just want Kanhaji to show me a way. I don't want any bad thing to happen around me. I wish the universe can hear me and make everything right.

After almost 30 minutes, i came out of the temple and headed towards home. After reaching home, I got a horrific news!!!

Rajababu has tried to chock one of the maid of the mansion!

Author's pov

Myra was sitting quietly in the family gathering. Nishant's parents and her family were interacting.

"We want to see our grandchild soon"

Myra heard her mother-in-law saying this. She immediately stood up and left the hall. Everyone started to laugh.

Nishant followed her. He grabbed her elbow and pinned her in the wall.

"What the hell is this Myra??? What is this behaviour??? I'm seeing your tantrums for the last few days.... I'm warning you.... don't you dare to make this sad face infront of my parents....i didn't marry you by force....you agreed on this...."

He applied more pressure on her elbow. Myra stared at him in anger.

"Yeah right....we both agreed on this....but shame on you....you are still in touch with your whore Lisa"

Nishant gritted his teeth. He immediately clutched her jaw tightly.

"Yes I'm....and what about you??? You are still not over of Rajveer,,,You are regretting after marrying me"

"Yes I'm... because you are an animal..you don't even know how to treat a woman"

She cried out.

"Ohh...then Rajveer knows???"

"Yessss...he was a gentleman..he always treated me like a Queen....he loved me more than anything....you are not even close to his feet"

Slap!

Myra's words stopped by a hard slap on her face. Nishant walked away from there angrily. Myra sat on the floor and cried so much.

She felt a soft touch on her back. She lift her eyes and found Nishant's Bua Shamita was standing behind her. She held her and make her stand.

"Don't cry.... what's the matter? Are you not happy with this marriage?"

Shamita asked her.

Myra wiped her tears.

"I don't love him...My father and brother got me married to him...i loved someone else....but i left him....."

She cried and hiccuped so much. Shamita took her in a room. She felt pity after seeing her state. She gave her water. Finally Myra's crying came under control.

"Please don't tell my father about this...he will kill me...."

"Who was the man?"

Shamita asked her. Finally Myra spoke her every pain to Shamita. She told her everything. Shamita stared at Myra silently. She is a good fortune teller.

"Aunty, i heard that you are a fortune teller....can you tell me about my future? Do I have a hope??? Can I ever get my Rajveer back?"

Shamita smiled slightly. She pats her head.

"Pick up a card"

Shamita spread her fortune cards infront of Myra. After a lots of thinking she finally picked one. Shamita took it and studied it thoroughly. Myra was fidgeting her fingers in nervousness. She never believed in all these but right now she wants to believe in every miracle. Only a miracle can save her life from destruction.

"You are a lucky girl Myra....."

Myra immediately looked at Shamita in hope.

"Yes..you are...you got that kind of love which is very rare these days...This is the phase of your darkness but soon you will get back everything...you will again reunite with your man....your card is showing a very good fortune... it's exactly showing that you are going to get lots of love...The person who got lost from your life, will come back soon....he is going to love you immensely....you both are made for each other and your journey will be together....you will stay together always...this is just a bit of seperation....soon this will get over.."

Myra cried in happiness.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes I am...Listen Myra...i know Nishant is not a good man..He is my brother's son, still I do not have any sympathy for them....they are leeches...but you are a good woman...God is just testing you...soon you will get everything back..

Just stay positive"

Myra smiled after a long time.

"God is punishing me for leaving him..

I'm ready to suffer this but at the end, he has to reward me"

Myra said while wiping her tears.

"I know this is a shock....But this is the only way to save him...people around Rajveer are not safe anymore....."

Dr. Batra told this.

"His brain cells are not recovering at all...he is having hallucinations..... patients like him can't be treated here....he will only stay better under our guidance...."

I stared at Dr. Batra in pain.

"Truly speaking....there is very little hope for him...what if he ends up in killing someone....then automatically he will spent his life in prison medical hospital, which is a very bad place...you don't have any idea how patients are treated there...they put shackles on them...do you want that future for Rajveer?"

I trembled after imagining the thing.

"I will not send my son anywhere....let him stay here...."

Rajasaab shouted out.

"We have enough of your advice doctor....now please leave"

Rajasaab showed him the way out.

"Dad, he is a doctor...he is just warning us about Veer's state"

Tuhin di said.

"I know beta...but i can't send him away...."

Rajasaab's voice cracked.

I slowly walked upstairs. My body is feeling so heavy. Tension and fear was eating me up. I slowly pushed the door of Rajababu's room. I entered.

He was sleeping soundly. Tears gathered in my eyes after seeing the dark patches around his eyes. Suddenly he opened his eyes and saw me.

"Doll...... I'm scared.....they are here...i can see them...they are trying to kill me....save me.... I'm scared"

He shouted out violently. I immediately reached near him. He hugged me tightly. I wrapped my arms around his head.

I don't know from where so much power came inside me. I felt not helpless but so much determined.

"I will not let anyone to touch even your hair....I will save you"

I said by holding him tightly.

Suddenly Ranima entered the room. She is looking so scared.

"The police is here....the maid filed complaint against Rajveer....the media is also here...what will we do now?"

I got down off the bed. Suddenly it felt like everything is connected. Everything is happening with a motive. All these things are well planned by someone.

"I will see...all of them"

I said to Ranima. Now it's the time to take the matter in my own hand. I'm ready to fight with everyone. Even if the whole universe was plotting against Rajababu, i don't care. I'm determi

ned to disable all these plannings.

I walked on the balcony. Rajababu held my hand and stood behind me. He is looking so scared. I looked at him and smiled.

"Don't worry....You are the King and Kings are brave...they never quit....we will never quit"

I whispered.
