The Binding String

* Sorry for making you wait guys. I hope everyone will like the update.

"Amma have something atleast. Not coffee then snacks." A man sat infront of Mrs Madhvi Iyyer, keeping the plates infront of her.

"Nahi kanna, mera kuch khaane ka mann nahi hai. Tum lekar jaao na yeh sab." Madhvi refused to have the food making the man sigh with defeat.
(No dear I'm not feeling like to have the food.)

"Please Amma, don't do that with you. Yeh aapke liye accha nahi hai. Vandita why don't you ask her to eat something?" The man called his wife who was busy chopping vegetables for dinner.

"Look Bala if it's about Ishita then don't involve me in it."

"But Vandu?"

"No Bala. You know I don't enjoy talking about her." Vandita replied sternly continued to dice onion for the curry.

"Ignorance won't help Vandu. Dekho na Amma kitni pareshaan hai." Bala snatched the knife from his wife hand and made her sit next to her mother. Vandita who became irritated with the mention of her sister earlier became sad seeing her mother who was crying silently.
(Ignorance won't help Vandita. Look how much worried she is.)

"Amma please don't cry. She is not worth of yours tears." Vandita hugged her mother, unable to bear the tears in her eyes.

"She is my daughter Vandu, she is dear to me just like you. I may not talk with her but I cares for her. And my little Roohi kanna, she is so young to bear these things. I don't want her to go through with the things you and Ishita faced." Madhvi Iyyer replied looking at her elder daughter. Vandita Balachandran became silent all of sudden as her mother mentioned about Roohi, "What will happen with her?"

"Nothing bad can happen with Roohi. She is a wonderful and a beautiful child." Vandita tried to console her mother while thinking about the little adorable child. Vandita passed a glass of water to her Amma and retired to kitchen thinking about her sister and her little daughter. She have so many issues with her sister, the differences in ideologies created a gap between the sisters but she had absolutely no hard feelings for Roohi. She still remember the day when she took the little girl in her arms for the first time and cherished the happiness of becoming the Chitti. Her sweet voice is a music for her eyes and she enjoys showering love on the little girl. Vandita started to stir the curry in the pot unobvious with the fact that her husband had arrived in the kitchen and started to pass her necessary things she need to cook the curry.

"You should have talk with Ishita." Bala tried to gain his wife attention.

"Bala you know how much busy I'm nowadays. The bank job drain me out completely."

"We work together Vandu. The job is not that consuming. Ab bhool bhi jaao na gussa Vandu. Itne saal ho gaye hai us baat ko."
(You should try to talk with her once Vandu. It's been years now.)

"Please Bala. Mujhe us baare mein baat nahi karni hai aur vaise bhi Ishita Raman ne six months saath rehne ka compromise toh kar hi liya hai na. Tum Amma ko samjhaao na I'm sure woh tumhari baat sunengi."
(Not again Bala. Moreover Ishita Raman had compromised to stay together for six months. I'm sure they will figure out something.)

"Aur agar tum Ishita se baat karogi toh woh bhi tumhari baat sunengi." He reasoned another time making her stop.
(Ishita will listen you Vandita.)
