Bound by Vows

Chapter 50: Chaptee-50

Payal's POV

"Nikhil...nikhil..." I heard the voice of papa calling him...

"Didi, tell papa he is not at home... And also ask him if he needs anything." I told the maid.

"Yes..." She said and walked to his room.

"What he said?" I asked the maid once she comes back.

"He was asking for sir only... Didn't told me anything..." She said...

"Okay. You can go and prepare for dinner. I will come in a while" I said.

Suddenly i heard a voice of thud coming from his room. What happened?

I ran towards his room in panic mode and saw him lying on the floor.

I walked in long strides towards him without giving any further thoughts.

"Papaa...what happened? How did you fall?" I asked in panic.

"I was just trying to get my mobile from the desk and suddenly felt dizzy and loose my balance" he

explained.

"Who told you to get up from the bed... you're still weak...you could have called me or nick or even

maid..." I blabbered which tears started to pour out of my eyes.

"I am fine Payu... Don't worr—" He stopped when i stiffened seating beside him.

He was calling me by my nick name after years and most probably he realised the situation because

next second he jerked my hand back which was holding him to support.

"What are you doing here? Who asked you to enter my house?" He said sternly.

The warmness which i was feeling seconds before blurred in a minute and he got back to his old self.

"I...I came to see y—you!!!" I said while trembling in fear.

"I don't need you. Get out from my house right now" He shouted at me while getting up.

He clutched his chest in slight pain. I got panicked and hold his shoulders.

"Papaaa!!! Are you okay? Should I call doctor?" I asked him.

"I am fine but won't be if you stood infront of me for long" he said with a venom in his voice.

It hurt me...hurt me like hell...Tears filled in my eyes...my own father doesn't want to see my face.

"I...I am...so—rry" i said with much difficulty.

"What are you sorry for? For putting a shame on my face or for marrying that bastard..." He said.

"Do—don't say like that about him..." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Ohh!!! So you still favour him over your father. How can you not? Afterall you always gave priority to

that scum more than your father" he said with anger.

"Please don't bad mouth about a de—dead person..." I said with much difficulty.

"De...dead???" He looked at me with soft eyes...

"I lost...lost him right after ou—r marr..." I could not complete my words as sob released from my

mouth.

For once i thought he will hug me for comforting me but whom am i joking.

"You can leave now" he said without any emotions in his voice.

How could he be so hard?

I wiped my tears and turned around only to see nick in tears.

"Papaa...how could you be soo cruel to your own daughter?" Nick said entering the room.

I shake my head telling him to stop but he didn't.

"If you're so concerned about her. You can also leave with her. I will live alone without you too..." He

said stubbornly.

"For once papa... Only for once, leave this shit and see your children... They are begging you to love

them over your so called ego..." He spat with an anger.

"You...you mean to say that i never loved you both...Did i never fulfilled your needs? Did i ever stopped

you for anything. I...i al—always put the things before you mentioned it" papa said with little emotions in

his voice.

"I am not saying that you did not fulfilled your duty as a father but what we needed was your support

instead of those material things... Only i—if mummy was al—alive, di never had to face so many things

in her life" nick said while crying.

Its a harsh truth of our life. No one can replace mother's love I am not saying father doesn't love their

children but there are certain things which you can easily share with your mother. She would definitely

understand you.

Sometimes there are situations which girls cannot explain to their father. I wish... I really wish

mumma... if you're there for me in past... I—i would not had to suffer that much...only if you're there for

me to hold, to love, to console me...only if...but unfortunately you're not there...

Why did you left us??? why did you??? I missed you I miss you so much ma!!!

Three of stood there in the room lost in our own world for sometime.

I know it was not easy for papaa too to overcome mumma's death and nick questioning him only

increased his pain...

I didn't even realised when someone came over my side and wiped my tears.

I raised my head to see nick but was shocked to see Kabir.

Kabir????

Am i hallucinating??? I blinked my eyelashes few times to confirm that he is not here and would blur in

the air like so many times happened in past week but this time he is still here.

I looked around only to see papa and nick looking at my side. Both have teary eyes. No doubt our

previous conversation bring back lot of painful memories especially mumma.

I turned my gaze infront only to see him still there looking me with concern.

I touched his cheek with my fingertip to assure he is my imagination.

Why he is not disappearing like always??? I thought but he smiled a bit.

Did i said it aloud? I thought and he nodded.

"Hello jiju...when did you came?" Nick came forward only to make me realise that he is actually here.

Shit!!! But what is he doing here? Is he here to take me back home? How the hell he knew i am actually

here?

"Just now, actually maid opened the door and directed me here. But you guys were in deep

discussion...i guess...well leave it...tell me how are you doing?" Kabir asked with a smile.

How come he become too sweet suddenly? If i remember clearly last time he showed cold shoulder to

Nick.

"I am good... But you here?" Nick asked with some surprise in his voice.

Ofcourse he was also not expecting him. When nick asked me about him in past, i told him he is busy

with his office that’s why not getting time to come and meet me.

"Yeah...i am here to take my wife back home..." He said looking towards me while i averted my eyes.

So, now he remembers that i am his wife.

"I am not going anywhere..." I whisper in his ears only to let him know that i am still very angry with him.

He royally ignored me and walked ahead towards papa.

"Namaste, how are feeling now?" He asked making me surprised with his behaviour.

Is he really Mr. Arrogant Duggu Khurana whom i know?

"I am fine, Mr. Khurana..." Papa said shocking me that he know Kabir more precisely his surname.

"Don't call me like that. I mean...i am your daughter's husband. By that relation, i am like your son

papa. I hope you won't mind me calling you Papa?" He asked with so much sincerity in his heart that i

make me smile internally.

I looked towards papa's side to know his reaction but he stayed silent. I know my father more than

anyone. He is too stubborn.

"Hmm...shall we leave now sweetheart?" He asked me making my eyes widened.

What the hell??? How could he embarrass me infront of my papa.

Nick give me a teasing smile while i can sense a faint smile on papa's lips... Don't tell me he is laughing

at my expense too?

Kabir walked towards my side while i averted my eyes from everyone and walked out of the room.

I practically run towards the guest room where i am staying to calm down.

Everything happening too fast not giving me time to think.

I take a deep breath and after that started packing my clothes. As i know i cannot live here now as

papa know about me.

Also, i cannot go back with Kabir...i know i have decided to go back for ashi but i will not become

puppet in kabir's hand...

I heard a knock on the door and i guessed it would be him, so i practically prepared myself to say no to

him.

Door opened revealing nick instead of him.

"Di...jiju is waiting for you in living room..." He said.

"Yeah...i am just packing my bag..." I said.

I will go out with kabir so that nick won't doubt our relationship but then i will go to Ma's house...

"Di...i am sorry... because of me you're leaving..." He said confusing me.

"It has nothing to do with you nick" i said...

"Only if i was at home...you wouldn't had to come infront of papa and not leaving us like this..." He said.

"This is ridiculous nick...and i had to leave one day or another to my house...so why not today? And

please just don't accuse papa all the time. He is still healing and stressing him out will only rise to

problems" i said and he nodded.

"And as far as my relationship with papa is concerned, i guess it will be fine with the time..." I said with

a sigh.

"Yes..." He said...

After coming out of the room, i walked towards papa's room as i wanted to meet him. I know he won't

like this but my heart...i can't keep it at back...

"Pa—papa, i am leaving... please take care of yourself. Take medicine on time and please don't be

stressed out for anything" i said after entering into his room.

He opened his eyes when i started talking but he stayed silent... didn't replied me.

I felt water in my eyes but i controlled and turned around to leave.

"Wait..." He said stopping me.

I turned with hopeful eyes waiting for him to forgive me and hug me.

"Don't show your face again to me" he said and closed his eyes shutting my all hopes.

Tears which I controlled earlier falls involuntary.

After hugging nick for the last time, i sat in Kabir's car.

He started the engine and soon car started moving on the road.

"Stop the car..." I said once reached at a distance from the house.

"Why?" He asked.

"I said stop" i shouted and he put the break.

I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"What are you trying to do?" He asked again...

"I don't want to go with you. Thats why i am leaving.." i said still trying to open it.

"It won't open. So don't waste your energy. And what has happened to you suddenly. Why you agreed

before if you don't want to come back?" he asked making me shocked.

Arrogant Duggu Khurana is back.

"I didn't agreed before. But because of nick, i came along with you... As i didn't wanted him to give any

wrong impression of our marriage" i said.

"Okay... But you are going back with me to our home" he said and started the car.

But it angered me more because who is he to decide?

"I won't act according to your wish!!! When you wanted to get separate, you throw me out of your house

and now you want me back. Why?" I asked with anger.

"I am sorry...i am really very sorry for that day. We will discuss further after reaching home" he said and

put it end to discuss anything.

I stayed silent as its useless to argue and above all i am dying to meet my daughter. I missed her so

much in past week.

It made me realise that she has become an integral part of my life. I can't ignore her.

I closed my eyes not knowing another drama is awaiting at the home.

We reached home and walked inside only to stopped at the entrance.

"Stop right there. You're not allowed to enter my house" Papaji said confusing us.

"What is this non-sense? Why we are not allowed to enter into our own house?" Kabir asked with clear

irritation in his voice.

"I am talking about her not you!!! She is not allowed to enter" he said shocking me to the core.

What is he saying? What did i do?

"What are you saying ji? She is our daughter in law..." Mummy said trying to calm him down.

"Yeah daughter in law...who hide such a big truth of her life...Did you know Amrita, your sweet DIL was

married before too? That she was a WIDOW of her first husband!!! I won't allowed such woman in our This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

house. Never!!!" He spat with anger.

Mummy gasped at this revelation along with Kunal who was also present there.

Tears of utter humiliation fall out of my eyes. I felt like i once again lost my family!!!
