The Binding String

Before you start reading -

This chapter wasn't supposed to take so many days but few days back we came to know that someone close to me tested corona positive and since then our lives turned upside down. It is so difficult to be in situation where you can do nothing but by his grace everything is fine now and he will get discharge soon.

So the chapter is maybe not my good write-up at all. So I'm so sorry if I didn't fulfilled everyone's expectations here.

Next I want to thank each and everyone for giving this story a chance. I have no experience and knowledge regarding the topic i picked yet you guys chose to read this story and admired as well. Thank you for being my support system.

《When a man can listen to a woman feelings without getting angry and frustrated, he gives her a wonderful gift. He makes it safe for her to express herself.
The more she is able to herself, the more she feels heard and understood and the more she is able to give a man the loving trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval and encouragement that he needs.》

Raman kept looking at Ishita too much shocked listening her question too flabbergasted to react. In all those years Ishita never asked him the reason behind his aggression and neither is felt like to explain her but today for the first time she discussed about the night which started to cause rift between them and the Raman Bhalla who never felt like to explain things to anyone felt like to bare himself infront of Ishita without caring of her reaction. He cupped her face softly making her look in his eyes and went closer to her just to take a look of her beautiful face more clearly, "Nahi. Us raat tumhari koi galti nahi thi Ishita." (You was nowhere at fault that night.)

Ishita uplifted her lashes and looked at her husband who answered her questions with utmost sincerity. She knew he wasn't lying in those seconds and his words soothed her aching heart. It was like years old burden taken off from her chest making her free. For a woman her dignity and self respect meant alot especially for woman like Ishita who fought against male dominant society just to prove her worth. Ishita might not dependent herself on her husband for her basic needs or emotional support but she always respected him by heart and his acceptance meant alot for her especially when she wasn't at fault. Ishita kept looking at Raman with moist eyes and overwhelmingly rested her hands on his own, "Phir kyon chod kar chale gaye the mujhe us din? Mujhe us din aapki kitni....kitni zaroorat thi par aap mujhe chod kar kyon chale gaye Raman?" (Then why you choose to walk away especially when I needed you most.)

"Aisa...aisa nahi tha Ishita. Main woh...." (There is nothing like that what you're thinking. Is just that...)

"Woh kya Raman? Aap us din bina kuch kahe mujhe kathghare mein khada karke chale gaye. Ek baar bhi mere baare mein nahi socha ki mere oopar kya guzri hogi." (What just that Raman? You didn't think about me even for a second? Didn't for a second you felt that I can misinterpretate your actions as well.) Ishita voice cracked at end but she managed to question her husband trying not to cry or slur. "Bolo na Raman. Aapko ek baar bhi mera khayal nahi aaya?" (Not for a single second you feel like to walk back towards me?)
