Bound by Vows

Chapter-74

"Don't you have any shame, before questioning my upbringing. You're blaming me that i have not

taught her any manners. I have nourished Divya as my own when i was very well aware about the fact

that she is your illegitimate child" she huffed in anger.

Divya didn't believe her ears. She is not the daughter of her mother? She could not digest this news.

And walked out of the mansion without much in her senses. She was walking aimlessly till the car

stopped by her side and pulled her inside the car.

She was brought back to present by the tip of someone's fingers on her cheeks. She then realised, she

was crying actually.

"You okay?" Nikhil asked her in concern. She just hummed and look forward to see any trace of her

brother.

After sometime...

"Should we go inside to check? Why is it taking them a lot of time? I...i just hope bhai would find bhabhi

soon and she is fine" Divya voiced out her concern sitting on the passenger seat.

She was calm than before but obviously worried for her sister-in-law.

"She would be fine definitely..." Nikhil said tapping his fingers on the steering wheel while looking

forward anxiously for his sister.

He kept the car at standby ready to flew away as soon as person in concern reach the car.

He would have gone long back to search his dear sister if it was not the hand of certain someone who

was clutching his very tightly in her lap.

He was deeply saddened to see her in weak state. They might have many differences now, but he

loves her truly. And it was hard to see her in such trauma.

"I...i just hope babyy is also fine" Divya faintly muttered but somehow due to his attentive flex, he heard

her.

Nikhil snapped his head at a jet speed towards her. He thought he heard wrong, he glanced from her

eyes to her stomach.

"Wh-whose babyyy?" He asked with trembling voice...

Offcourse, she was not talking about herself. But his trembling voice got her attention and she know

exactly what he was thinking. About their own baby.

"Bhabhi told me that she thinks that she is pregnant. Though it is not confirmed yet. But...but she was

not well when we were together an...and i left her alone in that danger...i am a bad person" she

completed breaking down but nikhil pulled her in his embrace to console her.

"Shh..it was not your fault...its just circumstances created by them..." he tried to pacify her cries.

"No...I am a bad person. Very bad...i killed my own baby...i killed our chance of being together. Now

because of me, if something happened to bhabhi or her baby, i will die because of guilt" she sobbed in

his arms but he stiffen after remembering his own seed who was aborted by her before it could be

blossomed.

She realised what she blurted when he withdraw his arms from her. She knew it was one of the reason

why they parted ways. She loved him but was not ready to become mother, to take such huge

responsibility, when she herself was an immature and college going girl.

He suggested at that time to tie a knot and bring that child to this world. But she was scared, what she

would tell her family who trusted her. It was the outcome of one night, in the heat of the moment they

got carried away which led to unwanted pregnancy.

"Nickk, sorr-" she started but interrupted by nikhil who whispered his sister's name when he saw her in

Kabir's arms.

He immediately climb down from the car and helped kabir to adjust in back seat with payal on his lap.

Nikhil got tensed seeing his lovely sister in this condition but he controlled his emotions as she needs

medical care asap.

He got back to the driver seat and started the car in high speed towards the hospital.

"Broo, what happened to bha-bhabhi" Divya asked slowly scared to witness any adverse reaction from

her brother but what she got was complete silence.

Kabir was continuously tapping his wife's cheeks with tears brimming in his eyes.

Nikhil was shifting his gaze time to time from road to the back seat through rear view mirror but didn't

utter a single word or asked anything from Kabir.

Divya too, was silently weeping curling herself in the passenger seat. She witnessed too many things in

a single day.

Soon, they reached the hospital where Payal was immediately taken care by the hospital staff.

Kabir was anxiously waiting outside the ward to get information about his wife's wellbeing. He was

stressed out and multiple thoughts were coming in his mind.

He was cursing himself for all the chaos. He regretted for not providing security to his own wife when

he was aware about that psycho's obsession.

His thoughts got broken by the hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see his mother standing

there with a concerned face.

"Mom..." Kabir muttered and hugged her tightly to get some warmth from her embrace.

"She will be fine... don't worry duggu" Mrs Khurana said caressing her son's back who was ready to

break down any moment.

She has never witnessed this side of her beloved son. When she got a call from Kunal stating that both

her daughter's were kidnapped, she was baffled.

Already, she was upset with the argument with her husband regarding divya and in her anger she

blurted out what she never said from her mouth ever. And she regretted it later but she was not aware

that damage had already been done.

"Kabir, your hand is bleeding. You need medical attention." She gasped when she saw his knuckles red

from blood.

"I am fine mom." He dismissed that idea of bandaging. In his opinion, he deserved much more wounds

than this small bruises.

"No, you're goi-" her mother stopped in between when they saw doctor coming out of the ward.

"Doctor, how is my wife?" Kabir asked...

Doctor hesitated before saying making kabir anxious.

"She got bruises on her body due to struggling and fighting, i guess. The other person must have sla-

slapped her few times while forcing himself on her..." Doctor said which made kabir stiffen in concern

and in anger as well towards akhil.

Everyone else gasped in horror hearing what doctor said.

"Did she...did she got rap-" his mother asked the most difficult question. Kabir's heart stopped for a

moment to hear the answer. He was ready to hear the worst.

"No..." Doctor denied much to everyone's relief.

"But..." Doctor started again but paused.

"But?" Kabir asked impatiently...

"But she is in mental trauma which is making her not responding to our treatment. Plus i am more

concerned about the baby..." He paused at the interruption...

"Baby???" Kabir asked astonishingly.

"Yes. Your wife is 6 weeks pregnant" doctor announced.

Everyone were enlightened with the news but at the same time worry for Payal.

Kabir was in a fix how to take this news. He couldn't even feel excited with the great news as he was

more concerned for the wellbeing of his wife and now his unborn baby too.

"When will she be awake doctor?" His mother asked in place of him.

"We cannot say much, lets hope for the best" doctor replied.

"Can i see her?" Kabir finally asked.

"I would suggest you to wait till she wake up" doctor denied.

"Please doctor, i won't disturb your treatment..." He almost sobbed while begging him.

"Okay, you can meet her" doctor said touching his shoulder.

Kabir entered the room silently. His eyes brimmed with tears looking at the condition of his wife who

was sleeping unconsciously with the bandages on her body.

He slowly went near her bed. Nurse was already available there attending her.

He sat down on the stool beside the bed while taking her hand in his.

"Sir, should i bandage your wound?" Nurse asked him after noticing the blood trail.

"No, i am fine" kabir said clearing his dried throat...

Still nurse came with the antiseptic cream and bandage.

"What are you doing?" He yelled but composed looking at the old lady.

"I am just helping you. I know your wife won't like that once she wake up" she said with a small smile.

"Why is she not waking up?" He asked caressing his wife's cheeks.

Soon nurse left after finishing the bandage to give him some privacy.

"Please wake up sweetheart. I am sorry for not taking care of you. I am sorry for everything that

happened with you...i could not save you from that disaster...i need you...our doll needs you...we

cannot live without you. And...and now our baby..." He said with high emotions caressing her invisible

baby bump...

"Now our baby needs you to wake up... it's affecting baby's health too..." He said with tears rolling out All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Payal's POV

I don't know if i will come out of this hell alive or not. Because i know for sure before that moron

touches me, i will kill him or me.

Akhil carried me back here after our short escape. Though after that he slapped me thrice, for that little

stunt. But atleast one thing happened good that i was able to make Divya run. She didn't deserve this

afterall it is my fight in which she has no role.

"Looks like baby was missing me soo much" akhil said in a slurry voice which told me that he was

drunk before my eyes confirmed it after looking at the bottle in his hand.

I tried to shoo him away but he snuggled his arm around my waist.

He nuzzled his nose in my neck giving me the disgusting feeling again.

I fisted my hand and get ready to give him a piece of shit. I turned sideways and gave him a tight slap.

He looked shocked and came out of his drunken state. He took hold of me and pushed me back on the

bed.

"Get off me you monster" i said when he climbed over me.

"Monster, huhh, i was easy with you the whole time, now i will show you the real monster" He said

while trying to remove my kurti (top).

I struggled beneath him in horror. I know where it is going and this realisation made me panicked.

I struggled again and again to get out of his hold. He frustratingly torn my kurti into two. I immediately

cover my bosom from his lustful gaze.

I cried when he suddenly attacked my skin with his teeth. I feel suffocated, helpless and at his mercy.

He hold my hands tightly to remove them from my chest.

"Pl...please..." I begged him at last to release me.

But that turned him on as he said while rubbing him on my thighs "with pleasure darling..."

I feel like puking and turned my head to left with tears rolling out of my eyes...

My eyes focused on the empty bottle rolling beside me on the bed. I know that this is the last moment

for me to save myself.

I hold the bottle tightly in my hand while breaking it into two by hitting it on the side. The noise caught

his attention and he raised himself from me.

That was my cue to react. I raised the bottle and shoved it hardly to his chest making him fall beside

me. He tried to catch my hand to stop me from assaulting him but the madness in me caught a better

hold on my emotions.

I turned and raised my hand to hit him with the glass bottle. The edges of the broken glass pierced his

skin and lot of it sparkle all over me. But it didn't stopped me. I attacked him again and again.

"This is for all the pains you have caused me...this is for ruining me by touching me...this is for killing

my best friend, my partner, my avi" i screamed attacking him again and again.

He tried to hold me but i pushed him resulting in him falling on the floor.

I cried and screamed for the last time before darkness consumed me...

"No...leave me..." I tried to shake him off me.

"Shh...shh... it's me...baby" akhil said hugging me...

"No...akhil let me go...Kabir kabir save me pleaseee..." I screamed when i felt his hands running over

my arms...

I cannot see his face as there is darkness all over...but i can hear voices which confirms that he is not

alone...

Oh god, where am i stuck???

"Please open your eyes baby" i heard Kabir's soothing voice...

I tried to come out of the darkness but it was difficult for me to see anything.

I felt myself again in deep slumber.
