4.Bound
It's been 3 weeks Avyakta was staying with them. She was adjusting with them slowly. Siddhant wanted to take it slow not even let her come inside their room. Why? Because it had all the memories of them attached on the wall. He felt that she might feel awkward and worried what if she would get a trauma after seeing them. Also, he never wanted to take them out. Though, everything that happened has to be revealed soon but slow,something that was need of the hour.
Siddhant joined his office,soon after seeing her recover a bit.
She would smile in the talking session,accompanied by Savita,Vijay and Priya but as soon as it was joined by Siddhant she would stop smiling and would avert her eyes,biting her pink lips.
Savita and Priya refused to keep any nurse for Avyakta when Siddhant asked them. They wanted to take care of her themselves.
Avyakta would simper and joke a bit sometimes but behind these only she's aware what's going inside her.
It was 12am, and Avyakta believed that,all must have slept by now. Sleep was far away from her and her mind couldn't let her close her eyes,even. She would get up and lay down,again. Getting up,she walked to the balcony and stared ahead. A sigh escaped her mouth. Several questions enveloped her.
What life she has got? What sins did she do to get this life? She was living here with them, but...what really happened with her?
Never ever she thought,she would get to see like this and it is just not with her. But with everyone. We, ourselves, tend to see some things in life which prove to be unthinkable and unbelievable.
She was here,with them. With Siddhant. But for her it soon felt like a boundation.
This world in which She was living suddenly, felt pitch dark, dreary, harrowing and spine chilling. She was disturbed and felt suffocated. This was something, she was experiencing for the first time. She kept her hand on her heart and felt her heart beats impulsive. She realized that she couldn't breathe.
Avyakta ran inside and searched for her medecines. Something was not right.
Panic attacks.
For the first time she was experiencing them. She opened many drawers but could get only pens and some papers. She opened one drawer,then the other.
She was panting. When she opened a drawer, she moved her hand and searched for her medecines. She didn't know that her overthinking,would bring her panic attacks. On tge spur of the moment, her hand laid on a card and she took it.
It looked like a love confession and birthday card. Though,she was huffing,still she took it and opened it.
My Love Avyakta,
Something beautiful happened with me since the time you came in my life. The day we married is one of the best day of my life as I found my best friend for life. It is true,I was skeptical in the beginning,but you made me feel so loved and comfortable,that I can't imagine a life without you. Since, it is difficult to find very genuine person these days and I'm blessed to have you as my darling wife. I want to confess that I love you to the infinity. Something that I just can't express in words. You are one in a million. Today being your Birthday,I wish you a very joyous and happiest life.
Happy Birthday My Love,My Bangram!
(Wear that dress and I will be waiting for you tonight in that resturant. Come soon!!
Address behind the card!)
Your darling Husband,Siddhant..
And with that she saw an attached image of his and her,standing too close,smiling at each other.
She couldn't breathe. Palpitations.
The card fell down in the drawer and she,in haste couldn't close it completely. She stood a step back, stared at the drawer, breathed heavily and ran towards the door. Avyakta,opened it and ran fast upstairs, guessing it to be a terrace because at that time she needed air.
She opened the door that lead to the terrace and walked inside. Her face was drained in sweat,showing complete scare.
Everything stood infront her tarblack. She sat on the swing and could feel her heartbeats and breathing rate normal,gradually. Tears came out like a stream emerging from mountains. She was messed up. She wanted to run away from everyone, even her mother and father too. She wanted to live alone.
Why? When? How?
She was petrified.
The wind blew touching her face,indicating that it may rain anytime but for the poor girl, everything was tangled.
She just wanted to get out from everything, everyone.

"Uhh!! Abhay?
It is raining.. Open the umbrella..fast.."
Ruchi sat in the car with her daughter on her lap while Abhay who was trying to open the umbrella,standing a bit far away under a shed.
It was midnight and was raining. Abhay and Ruchi, Siddhant's friend cum brother-In-Law and his Sister,planned to meet Avyakta since they both own a company but could take out time now and they let their meet surprise for them.
Abhay reached to the mother- daughter, with the umbrella over his head. They came out of the car and stood under a big umbrella protecting them. They were standing infront of Siddhant's house. Ruchi was too eager to meet Avyakta. She was dumbstruck when she got to know about Avyakta's condition. She couldn't see her like this. Couldn't.
As they were running to get their shelter as soon as possible in the house,Ruchi's gaze went towards the terrace. A silhouette of a female.
.
.

.
"Avyakta.. Avyakta..."
Siddhant was panic striken. He ran towards the terrace with his family members behind. He was afraid that she wouldn't attempt something with her life,that would harm her.
With a thud,he entered inside and Avyakta felt a pull on her hand. She got her senses back and stared at him,who stared in response at her,tensed. She was about to go in rain and it may wet her bandages on her hand and head.
Her face showed the emotions of pain,worry and grief. She was crying.
"Av..Avyakta...
Come! You are not okay! Come!!"
The water dripped down the umbrella. But Avyakta was in no mood to go.
Siddhant called her again but still she refused to even take a step. Rooted to her position, she stood there. He looked at her and asked her to come,politely.
"Ever-Everything is...not..f-fine..
I-I'm...not fine..."
She fumbled and mumbled these words.
"Avyakta.. listen.. you are fine..all is well..look here!
Come..you need to take rest...Come bangaram!"
He whispered the latter,with an urgency in his tone.
She stood up but held his hand. He turned around to look at her.
"Sid-Siddhant.. Y-You..consider..M-me..as your...wi..wife..na??
The..then..why did y-you...c-caged..me..here...in..t-this..house..h-hun?"
She stuttered alot since she was not in her senses. The rain has no mood to stop and from the other corner of the house,stood his family who was continuosly calling them.
He was baffled at her question. Her face showed many emotions of perplexity as well the tears which didn't cease any time sooner. She gazed at him once and fainted,falling in his arms.
"Avyakta!"
.

Everything seems blurry but Nothing could stop her to walk further. She was alive but a moment later she thought she had died. Now,Founding herself in a bed,she continuosly tried to wiggle and to get up. But something again was stopping her. She looked sideways and found an iron chain bounding her hands to move. Her gaze went downwards and saw her legs caged in an iron chain.
She tried to move but was unable to do so.
She shouted out to call someone but no one came. Her head was about to burst due to constant pain as if someone was hammering it.
Her eyes gave no support to look at the things. She cried and shouted.
"Avyakta.. Avyakta..."
From somewhere,she could hear these noises. She tried to open her mouth to reply but instantly someone caught her mouth to speak further.
Her face was rubbed again by someone, continuosly.
She was wiggling and soon wide opened her eyes to look at everyone standing tensed infront her.
Again a nightmare.
She tried to get up but soon was made to lay down by Ruchi and Priya.
She was drenched in sweat,totally.
She saw a man who sat infront her and called her politely but she behaved as a child and would shift back in fear,tears flowed down her eyes. She would held Priya and would hide herself from him.
"I-I..am..scared..save...me..please.." She would again start her mumbling.
"Bha..Bhabhi.. Shh..everything is fine..
He's doctor...please...look up..everything is..okay.."
The matress had the creases that, were made by her due to constant wiggling.
"Amma..Amma..
I want..Amma.."
She was frightened and soon felt her Mother was here with her,when someone embraced her.
It was Savita and she held her carefully,mumbling sweet things to her.
After sometime, she felt comfortable and was laid down on bed.
Siddhant stared at her in deep astonishment from a corner. Abhay and Vijay, Siddhant's father, stood with him to console him,continuosly.
The psychiatrist, Dr.Arun treated her and asked her what really happened with her. Trusting him, she gradually tried to open up and told him about her panic attacks and nightmares. She would stutter in between.
After getting about her,he tried to hypnotize her and gradually made her sleep , after giving her some medecines. Later,he came to Siddhant and told about her condition.
"Mr. Siddhant..
Mm.. she's fine now. Tell me one thing,did she saw something that gave her panic attacks? Like something.. before going to sleep?"
He asked Siddhant.
"Mm..I don't know..because there's nothing such thing..
And Panic attacks?"
"Yes..sometimes people experience it in Amnesia.. sometimes she may experience mood swings..too.. There's nothing to worry as such,though but...
You know na..that..You need to take things slow.
To everyone here..It's my request please..don't try to make her remember something which she has forgotten, forcefully. Take things slow with her."
He spoke and then asked Siddhant to come with him to talk something important. He gave him some medecines and Siddhant thanked him. The doctor left the place soon.
He came inside the room and stood at his spot when he saw Avyakta, awake and talking more like a whisper to Ruchi. She tried to get up but soon Ruchi's daughter in her childish tone scold her. Avyakta looked at her, amused.
"Come here..What's.. y-your name..girl?" She called her and the little girl sat on the bed holding her hand.
"You don't know my name,Avu? You forgotten? Offo!!"
She smacked her head and Avyakta's face drained.
"Okay!I will only.. tell when you will stop crying..
And everyone too.."
The girl scold everyone making them chuckle a bit. They wiped their face and Avyakta sensed that she was crying for sometimes.
"Avu? My name is Sanyukta and you stop crying..Okay? I'm with you..
Now smile!
I warn you..don't forget my name again too.. otherwise.. otherwise..
I'll not talk to you..okay?"
Avyakta nodded like a small kid. To her surprise she hugged Avyakta,making her feel good.
Siddhant stood taking the support of the wall witnessing the scene.
The other members smiled at the little kid.
"Remember it with..Avyakta and Sanyukta..Rhyming na?"
She laughed and came out from her embrace,while Avyakta smiled a bit at her childness.
.
.
.
.
"It's okay..didi..
I'm okay now!"
Avyakta talked to Ruchi,nervously,who consoled her.
"Avyakta.. Look I'm like your elder sister.. Talk to me..share what you feel..don't get scare or panic..
We are with you..hmm?"
Ruchi spoke and she nodded.
"I..I..don't.. know..how did.. I get panic..everything was blank in front me.. But I'm fine now.."
Ruchi gained her trust again. She talked to her as a friend and giving her a last glance, when she slept, she walked out of room,with Priya and Savita.
.
.
.

Morning rays peeped from the window,hitting Avyakta's face who was sleeping with a blanket, covering her body. She slowly, opened her eyes and her gaze fell on the wall clock showing 8 o'clock in the morning. She was feeling better,now. Last night was very difficult one for her.
She was not in her senses and if someone or the other would have not come to take her,she would harm herself. It was Ruchi and Abhay, who informed Siddhant about her.
She tried to get up and soon when she sat,her gaze suddenly paused at the person on the wooden chair.
There he sat,with his eyes closed, in a deep slumber, hands folded to his chest and face resting on the wooden chair as a support. She looked at the room but except Siddhant she found no one. She gazed at his position for few minutes and tried to wake him up by making some noises,like clearing her throat, keeping glass with a thud since he was not in a comfortable position,but he was still asleep.
She avert her gaze and stared out of the window.
After few minutes, Siddhant woke up and found Avyakta staring out. She then,saw him who stared in her direction.He was about to say something when the door opened and Savita came in.
She looked at them and patted Avyakta and asked her how she felt. Though,this care for her from them was strange and new for her but still she nodded.
Siddhant, got up to leave when,he saw the drawer left unclosed. He walked to the drawer and took out the card that was peeking out. He took and look at some of the unclosed drawers,too. His gaze then fell on the medecines that were lying in the floor and the messed papers.
He thought and looked back at her,who was sitting with Savita.
He apprehended and look down at the card,that was the reason for her panic attacks but still what might have happened?
Avyakta's last night question was still there n his mind.He was fighting in his mind while coming out of the room,his hand holding the card that he hid.
"Siddhant."
Her mother called her and he stopped on his tracks.
Turning around, he looked at her and she patted him.
"Beta..you too take rest now..Go sleep in your room.
It's been whole night you were here,with her. I will take care of her.
You go sleep..baccha.."
She spoke while patting him.
"Mm..No maa..need to go Office..
I've some works to complete..
You just take care of Avyakta. Hun? I'm going.."
He kissed her hands and Avyakta, who eavesdropped their conversation was engulfed in commiseration. Savita tried to stop him but he being reluctant refused to agree to her order.
Giving her a last glance while she, too looked at him, he left the place, leaving her in her thoughts.
That glance potrayed many emotions between them,which only they're aware of...
