âmes soeurs
The night sky was crystal clear. And the view was mesmerising. The little and old head of Bondita was leaning on old but strong shoulder of Anirudh.
The vermilion of her maang was adorning her fur like white hair. Her wrinkled but beautiful face was looking attractive in the darkness.
The moon was adorning the old yet lovable couple. The silence had its own mouth which spoke without words. The night had its own sun which lit up without fire. And Anirudh had Bondita who even died for him without giving her life.
She suddenly took up her head in a second which horrified Anirudh.... He said playfully "budhhi ho gayi par mujhe pareshaan karne ki aadat nehi gayi tumhari"
She blushed listening to him. Her melodic voice ringed up when she said "pura haq hai mujhe..... Aapke bachcho ki maa hun... Aapke pote poti ki daadi hun... Aur sabse zaroori aapki patni hun"
Every time she had a way to stop his mouth from speaking.... At last she was his Tark sundari...
She stood up and his eyes went with her. Her slender figure took away his senses. A woman in her sixty's but still beautiful.... In fact she was becoming more and more beautiful with the time.. She was a mother to four children.... Same goes for him too.. his face didn't have any sign of ugliness.. He had the same charm... His face had a little more wrinkles than her.. In fact it's because of his age... He was in his seventy's...
His thoughts were processing about their journey... But she approached... Though she hadn't come to his sight... But her anklets... The sound of her anklets were remembered in his brain like it's one of his melodic song's tuning...
She came to him and she sat carefully... He looked at her face and kept on looking... Isn't it the only face which brought bliss to his mind, heart, soul and to himself too...
She hadn't come alone.... She had also brought their photo album with her... She opened the album and the first page had their picture with barrister robe... Bondita was a little kid then but Anirudh was a stunning adult....
She said "I can't believe.... It's true that time flies"
"Hmm..." He said continuing to turn the pages...
They remembered their journey by looking at those photos.... The photo album had pictures of them, their children's and even their grand children's.....
They had four children Anwesh and Namrata were twins... While Pragati was younger than them and Biplavi was the youngest.. All of them were married and each of them had two children.... And the three girls used to come very often with their husbands..... Their daughter in law was a barrister.... Her name was Minakshi... She was very close to Bondita....
They were thinking and looking at the photo album when finally no pictures were left to look at... They looked at each other.... Anirudh hugged her... And she kissed him on his cheek...
They both were looking at each other with love when suddenly they heard Minakshi calling Anwesh "suniye..... Ekhaane aso .... Taratari aso" she had a smile at her face while calling him... She was standing just at the threshold and was looking at them..
Within a second Anwesh came and found Anirudh with a wholehearted smile and Bondita blushing....
Anwesh said " The perfect couple... Chalo let's leave them alone "
Minakshi agreed and both left with a smile...
After they left Bondita placed her head on Anirudh's chest and a lone tear rolled down her face... He sensed her tear.... But stayed silent cause he knew the reason of her tears.... They both were afraid the fate will take over their love... And one of them has to loose the other... But both knew that may it be anyone who looses the other will always love each other till the eternity ends....
They'll always remain the eternal couple... They'll always remain each other's âmes soeurs...
