Bound by Vows

Chapter-65

I checked my makeup for last time and went into the room where Amu is getting ready.

"Amu are you ready?" I asked her getting inside but saw her crying holding avi's photo.

She kept it hiding it from me but i have already seen.

"Yeah di, i am ready." She said with a smile but i can see her eyes damp.

"Missing him?" I said with a lump forming in my throat too.

And she could not control herself anymore and sobbed in my arms.

"I am missing him and papa badly, di... Why they are not here on my big day? Why god is so cruel di?"

She asked me for which i have no answers.

Only if i know, amu... I thought feeling my eyes watery too...

"Amu, don't cry...they will not be happy seeing their little princess crying on her special day." I said

detaching her from my hug.

"They are always with you amu, here in your heart" i said wiping her tears.

"Mumma, see naani (grandmother) ready me...am I looking like a pincees?" Aashi asked us entering

the room.

"Yes our doll is already a princess" amu said smilingly.

"Are you both ready? We're getting late" ma said entering the room.

"Yes ma" i said.

She looked emotional looking at amu.

"Ma, she is not going today. Stop being emotional." I said before her waterfall starts.

"Yes...B—but how i will stay without you both." She said emotionally.

And really it concerns me when amu will also get married how ma will live alone.

We three hug eachother getting emotional...

"Is today a cying (crying) day?" Aashi asked...

We trio laughed and i picked her in my arms.

"No baby...today is happy day. Now lets go your daddy must be missing his doll" i said pinching her

cheeks.

"Yes" she said excitedly.

We all left for the venue in the car sent by Kabir. I smiled at his this small sweet gesture.

He keeps in mind every single small things. And i really love this.

Yes love, i am in love with him. How i don't know. But if missing someone is love then i am in love...If

you want to be in that person's arms everytime is love, then i am in love. If thinking about his happiness

before yours is love then i am in love.

I am in love with my Arrogant Duggu Khurana madly and endlessly... And i am going to confess him

this very soon.

Kabir's POV

"Man, why you are not ready yet?" I asked kunal entering in his room.

"Bhai, I don't know if i am ready for this or not" he said with nervous.

Is he mad? On last moment, he is doubtful...

"Its okay if you're not ready, that boy is still ready to marry Amaya. We can call h—" i said...

"Bhaiii, i am nervous it doesn't mean i don't want to marry Amaya..." He snapped at me.

I smirked at him.

"But one minute ago you're doubtful about it..." I asked him.

"Now i am not..." He said and started wearing his coat.

We are waiting eagerly for the bride to come. More precisely i am waiting for my wife to come.

These 3 days were torture for me and i have realised that i cannot live my life without her for any

second.

Soon any wait was over and i saw her coming inside with others.

Though today's centre of attention is Amaya but when i cannot blink my eyes from her.

I was right, she is looking smoky hot in my favourite colour, black...

"Close your mouth kunal" i teased kunal who was spell bound by Amaya.

"I should also say the same to you bhai...i can say i am new to this, but why are you staring bhabhi, like

you're seeing her this beautiful for the first time" he teased me with a smirk.

"You'll know man, even after years of marriage you'll feel the same for your wife" i said without blinking

my eyes from Payal.

Soon they reached the stage and we made the couple seated on the couch.

"Someone is looking hot today" i complemented her when she stood beside me and i picked up aashi

in my arms.

"Who?" She asked as if she don't know.

"My princess, who else" i said kissing doll's cheeks who giggled.

"Daddy its tickling..." She said as i rubbed my cheeks with her.

"You're also looking fine..." She said rolling her eyes.

"Thank you wifey" i said with a smile and from her face i can imagine she didn't expect this from me.

We were emerged in talking when i received a call.

"Hey, yes...ohh...great...we are coming... just wait outside..." I said to the person and hung up the call.

I looked at payal who was busy in talking with relatives when i hold her hand.

"Excuse us..." I said to the lady i don't know and dragging her outside the hall.

"Kabir, it was very rude of you" she said.

"I don't care" i told her as i doesn't bother me what others think.

"But where are we going? In no time, engagement will start and everyone may call us..." She said while

i halted for a second and turned towards her.

"It is still half an hour for that and there is a surprise for you...so lets go" i said and again started

moving.

But she is my payal who need answer for every thing.

"What surprise?" She asked without moving.

"It will be revealed in 2 minutes...but you should start moving for that otherwise we will be late for

Engagement as you said...Right?" I asked her.

"Hmm" she nodded and we walked to a isolated area of the hotel as i don't want any audience here.

"Why did you bring me here?" She said looking around.

"Di..." Nikhil's voice interrupted us.

"Nick...i am glad you come..." She said hugging him.

"I had to... afterall you invited me...but there is one more person who wants to meet you..." He said her

while she was confused.

"Who?" She asked.

He come to a side and there is he, that arrogant old man, my father-in-law...

"Papa?" Payal looked shocked by her presence.

And why not she...He is one old stiff man who has an arrogance of 200%. It took my lot of efforts to

make him understand.

1 day ago...

I am here to talk to Mr. Agarwal about his relationship with my wife. As i cannot see her hurt and sad

because of her past where she was at minimum fault.

"What are you doing here?" He asked coming to the living room i am sitting in.

"How is your health, papa?" I asked him.

"I am not your father" he snapped at me.

"You're my wife's father...so technically you're mine too" he said ignoring his rudeness

You're doing it for your love Kabir...i chanted it in my mind... otherwise i would never tolerate such kind

of people...

"She is noone to me...so you can leave..." He said turning to leave.

"Are you for real? How can you break every tie with your daughter without any fault of her" i asked him.

"You don't know anything...so better keep your mouth shut and leave..." He said facing me.

This stiff old man!!!

"I don't know anything? Or it would be better to say you don't have any idea what happened in past" i

spat at him.

"So, she has sent you to defend herself" he said.

"She doesn't even have an idea that i am here" i said in anger.

"Then why are you here?" He asked.

"To tell you that you were very wrong in past in judging people" i said...

"I didn't judge anyone. I only reacted to the things i saw..." He said...

"Nice, i didn't knew that it is your speciality to trust some roadside third class person than your own

blood..." I said with a sarcasm.

"Mr. Khurana" he shouted in anger...

"Its Kabir for you, papa. I am sorry if I offended you in any way. I am not here to count your mistakes

but to tell you that because of your so called rules and self esteem, you ruined your own daughter's

life..." I said.

"It was all her doing, not mine. She selected that roadside begger as her husband" he said...

"For god sake, stop saying that pure soul such bad words. Because of that roadside begger only, your

daughter is living a better life. I cannot imagine what would be her life she got married to that rapist

whom you choose as her husband" i said accusing him directly. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I understand that you will take your wife's side. She must have told you the same story where Akhil

tried to force her" he said shocking me.

"Yes she told me but you really think your daughter can stoop that low to accuse someone for such

heinous crime?" I asked him.

He stayed for a minute then said.

"But she wanted to marry someone else...she loved him..." He said in defence.

"She never loved him actually...she was only bluffing infront of you" i said.

"What? But why would she do that?" He asked confusingly...

"You're reason behind it. You're forcing her to marry that akhil..." I said in anger...

"I wasn't forcing her. As a parent i only wanted her to stay happy and to marry her to someone who

could make her happy." He said.

"And their you're wrong...In your search of perfect life partner for her...you lacked somewhere... you're

going to tie her in a relationship where the other person was only lusting over your daughter" i said..

"What? B...but akhil was a nice guy" he said...

"You want to see how nice of a guy he is... look..." I said forwarding the file in which his details are

there.

How he tried to rape a girl and got punished. Also his illegal business... everything i could collect...

After reading it the file fall out of his hand. And he was visibly shaken.

"Moreover those photos were morphed... your daughter is anything but characterless...i cannot believe

your trust on hour daughter was that low that it blew off with a small wind..." I said.

"I...i didn't knew about it...i knew my daughter can never tarnish my image...she was my good girl but

then she ran away from her own marriage and it made me furious" He said with his eyes down with

shame.

"You forced her to do that...I know you were not aware but that bastard tried to almost r*pe my wife

too... but our payal was courageous and brave to come out of that situation. And what she wanted was

only the support of her father. But you mistrust her and even blamed her for everything..." I said.

"Oh god!!! What blunder i did...how will i face my wife after death...she must be hating me for abandon

our daughter like this...how will i ask for forgiveness from my Payu?" He said and i saw him crying.

I think he understood now what he did.

"Your daughter is still waiting for your love and warmth papa...she will forgive you definitely...i know her"

i said consoling him but i am too bad in this.

Back to present...

Payal's POV...

"Papa?" I was confused as well as shocked to see him here.

"Payu..." He said coming closer to me.

I want to hug him but don't know if he rejects me again. It will again hurt me.

"I am sorry..." He said with tears in his eyes.

And i ran into his arms. After years i am getting my father's affection.

"I am sorry payu...i never knew i was pushing you into a grave by marrying you to that bastard. I am

really sorry...i don't know how i will repent for this mistake of mine." He said crying profusely.

My heart pained seeing him broken. No matter what he did, i cannot see him like this in tears.

"No papa don't be sorry. It was just the circumstances. I have no bitterness towards you. Infact i should

be sorry for putting your face down" i said sobbing...

"No, i am glad you ran away that day otherwise only god knows what would have happened." He said...

"Thank you papa for coming here. You don't know how much relief you have given me by coming

here..." I said looking in his eyes.

"You should be thankful to your husband then" he said and i am confused...

"Kabir?" I looked towards kabir who was smiling, like a real smile...

"Yes, he came yesterday and gave me an earful lecture for ignoring you. And told me everything. I am

very happy that i have got him as my Son-in-law..." Papa explained and my heart swell with it.

I mouth him thank you and he grinned ear to ear. I cannot be more thankful to god by giving me Kabir

as my life partner.
