Bound by Vows

Chapter-51

Kabir’s POV

"I never knew you could hide such big news from us. We always considered you as our daughter but

you betrayed us by keeping us in dark" Dad said in anger.

What is his problem?

"And you never told us you're actually the daughter of the owner of "Saturn Diamonds Group". We

always thought you belong to a normal middle-class family but no, actually you were a rich daughter of

your father" He continued his rubbish talks.

Everyone stilled from all the revelations.

"What is your problem Dad?" I finally asked him in a composing manner as I don't wanna lose my calm.

"You are asking me, what is my problem? Ask your wife first why she hides such big truth from us? I

would never even know this if Mr. Gupta didn't tell me that his daughter's inlaws are actually my DIL's

parents." He said.

And I actually cursed that Gupta!!! Bastard Who is he to tell such things about my wife?

I looked towards Payal who is a complete mess with her crying session.

"Is there anything else left you're keeping from us, please tell us because I don't want any third person

to come and ruin our reputation?" He said while I rolled my eyes look who is talking.

"Enough!!!" i screamed i had enough of his ranting.

"It's between husband and wife and you are no one to interfere in our relationship" i said with a warning

to him

"But this is my house and I have the say in everything happening if it bothers our reputation...It would

have been better if i investigated about her family at the time of your marriage..." He said.

"Yeaah and again bind me with some bitch like you did years back..." I sneered.

"You mean to say that i ruined your first marriage" he said as if he is unaware.

"If it was not your threat to disown me if i didn't agreed to marry your's friends daughter...i would have

never agreed to marry that Sanjana" i spat in anger.

This is one of the reason i hate him.

"That was all in past, i am talking about Payal...She is ruining our reputation?" He said in anger.

"May i know how come she ruined your reputation? As far as her past is concerned, I already knew this

truth from the very beginning. She told me these things before our marriage and I agreed to it so you

should not have any problem in that" i cleared.

"What you knew all of this and you never told us?" Mom asked surprisingly.

"Mum please not you too... What is the problem if she lost her first husband, it was not her fault and

even I was a divorcee she agreed to marry me then what is the problem in accepting her as your

daughter in law" i asked in irritation.

"I have no issues with her but they shouldn't had hide everything from our family" she said.

"She told me and it was in my hand, whether I want to disclose it or not and I decided to hide it from

you all. So basically it was not her but me who is at fault..." I completed and hold Payal's hand to enter

inside.

"Wait...i will not allow her to enter my home. She is a betrayer and we have no place for such persons

in our home..." Dad said surprisingly me and angering me to an another level.

This betrayal word he tagged her with left me in utter disgust towards him. And i lose my control over

myself.

"Don't forget you are talking about my wife and what betrayal you're talking about??? Huhh??? The

one you did with your wife for years?" I screamed at my highest pace.

He looked shocked at my outburst.

"Don't give me that look. Words of relationship and trust doesn't look good coming out from your

mouth...I very well aware that you had an extra marital affair with your secretary and we have a live

proof of it in form of Divi..." As soon as i completed my words, a slap was printed on my cheeks.

I was shocked to see it was mum who slapped me. Payal gasped standing beside me.

"Don't!!! Don't you dare to say ill words about my husband. You have no right to badmouth about him..."

She said with tears in her eyes.

I looked in pure hatred towards dad who was in shock. This is the first time in 28 years of my life that

mom slapped me and why. Because of him.

"Mom??? You're slapping me for him??? You don't kno—" i was interrupted by her.

"I know...i know everything...Do you think that i won't know that Divya is his own blood. I know it from

very long time...but i have already forgive him..." She said.

Her voice was shaking and trembling with pain.

I am shocked to know that she knows everything. I hide this from everyone because i never wanted to

upset my mom. Even i tolerated him for her sake and she is saying that she forgive him.

"Mom how could you forgive him very easily? He cheated on you behind your back. Even had a child

from another wom—" i couldn't even complete it as i felt disgust even saying it.

"I forgive him because my love for your father was bigger than anything else...and he already repented

for his mistake..." She said crying.

I wanted to console her but dad hugged her and it angered me more. Why she is so forgiving.

I clutched Payal's hand and climbed the stairs because i know there is no use to discuss further. It will

messed up more. And Payal is not going anywhere if someone like it or not.

I left her hand after reaching our bedroom and entered into washroom.

Payal's POV

I don't know what actually happened downstairs it all started with my past and ended with the

revelation of Divya not being Kabir's real sister, more precisely...she is illegitimate child of my father-in-

law.

To say I am shocked would be an understatement. I always knew kabir has a rift with his father but

never imagined that the reason would be this big.

After reaching to our bedroom he rushed to the washroom, and i decided to go to Ashi's room as i

didn't meet her yet.

I spend my time with ashi talking and making her eat dinner which helped me to smile and relax my

mind from all the happenings...

I also took a tour downstairs and everything was silent. We have heard silence before tsunami but it

was opposite... Silence after tsunami.

Nobody ate the dinner today probably still disturbed with all the action and drama happened an hour

before. It felt like i am seeing a daily soap but life is not a drama.

Therefore i send a glass of milk by maid's hand...atleast noone will sleep with empty stomach.

I also prepared coffee for him as he will not deny it.

When i met divya downstairs, she asked me— why everyone is behaving strange— but i told her its

nothing like that. She somehow nodded her head and i am glad that she was not at home when

everything happened otherwise it would be difficult for her to absorb something like this.

And again the guilt came in my mind cz directly or indirectly i am responsible for all the chaos

happened.

Its 11:05 in the night when i opened the door of our room only to find darkness inside.

It took me time to adjust into the darkness. I kept the coffee on bedside table after switching on the light

and then looked for him.

I found him standing in the balcony of our room having a cigarette.

Though i don't want to forgive him easily with whatever he did but he is looking disturbed with all the

happenings and i want to be with him in this hard time.

He took a stand for me downstairs. Though i know he didn't knew anything before our marriage, still he

lied saying he knew everything from the start.

Also i am confused what made him change his decision. As last week he was adamant and not even

stopped me from leaving. Then what suddenly changed and moreover how he knew i was at papa's

home. There are lot of things going on in my mind like how he knew about his father's affair and divya

being his child.

I walked towards him and stood beside him.

He sensed my presence still continued gazing at sky.

"Why are you smoking? You know na its no—" I started but he stopped me in mid.

"It's a stress-buster for me..." He said as if he got annoyed with me questioning him.

"Ohh...Okay!!! but if you want we can talk too..." I said unsurely.

He glanced at my side and i noticed his face is looking hard yet soft in the moonlight. He has a thick

eyelashes with perfect jawline...No wonder he is the most handsome man i have ever encountered

with.

And this handsome man is your husband!!! My subconscious said.

And the way he puffed the cigarette through his lips giving me erotic feeling...

These lips have done wonders to m—....

"Take a picture...it will long last!!!" He said breaking my trance.

Shit, shit, shit!!! What i was thinking??? Control yourself Payal!!!

His smirked face told me he noticed me being drooling over him.

"Drink your coffee. I have kept it on bedside table..." I said while averting my gaze with a blush on my

face and run to the closet to avoid him.

Once changing into my night dress, i came out of it only to find him lying on the bed.

I laid beside him after dimming the lights of the room.

I have many questions and even answers too related to my past but I don't know how to start, where to

start?

"So, what you wanted to talk?" He initiated the conversation.

"I...i don't want to ask anything?" i said opposite to what I wanted to ask.

But I have one question in my mind whether he also feels that I am responsible for all the chaos

happened today.

"Actually i...want to ask you something?" I said turning towards him. He also turned sideways giving his

full attention to me.

"Do you really think whatever happened is because of me?" I asked his opinion because its kind of

troubling me.

"What makes you think like that?" He asked me...

"Because only if I did not hide more precisely disclosed it earlier to the family, it would not be created

such mess. I am sorry for whatever happened... I really never wanted to ruin your relationship with your

family!!!" I said with tears of guilt filled my eyes.

I know importance of family...i myself miss my father and i don't want Kabir too feel like that...specially

because of me...

He lifted my chin up to make me look towards him.

"You should not be...as far as my family is concerned, they need sometime...but what i am shocked is

to see mom siding with dad...i mean who on earth would forgive such person..." He said with anger...

"May be she loves him that much that she forgives him for the deed" i said while thinking...

When you love someone you overlook their faults too...

"Will you forgive me in future if i do any mistake?" He asked making me frown.

Where this come from?

"That's means you really have an affair with your secretary?" I asked with widen eyes

"Are you out of your mind!!! No way...it was just a random thought...just forget that i even asked you..."

He said confusing me again.

"But you said so last week..." I asked reminding our previous conversation.

"I said that in anger!!! If you had stayed back for few minutes more, you would have seen by your own

eyes that I had thrown her out of my office that instant..." he cleared.

"Really?" I asked as if not believing him.

"Yes sweetheart" he said while stroking my cheeks with his palm.

"Well i have still not forgiven you for the things you said last week..." I said bringing the topic.

"I am sorry...i am really sorry...i didn't mean anything what i said...it was my anger talking shits... will

you forgive me please..." He said closing the distance between us.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"I will think about it..." I said turning my back towards him.

After few seconds, i felt him hugging me from back...

"Kabir, what are you doing?" I asked ignoring the feeling of his big hand on my bare stomach due to

misplace of my top.

"Shh...let me sleep like this...i missed you soo much last week..." He said kissing me on my neck.

"Whose fault is this? Who told me to leave?" I asked him in anger.

"I didn't told you to leave. It was you who left me..." He state the fact.

I turned in full force to win this argue.

"And why did you not stopped me?" I asked him narrowing my eyes.

He didn't answered back and it made me happy as i am winning this.

"Yeaa...why would you stop me...when you don't wa—" he didn't let me complete and captured my lips

into a kiss.

My eyes widened and i froze while he kissed, nibbled my lips passionately...as if pouring all the longing

and emotions in it.

I put my hand towards neck while clutching him.

I pulled his hairs while kissing him back. Soon he moved on top of me still kissing. His kisses are like a

drug...the more he kiss, the more i want.

We stopped when felt short of breath. He kissed me for the last time on forehead and took me in his

arms.

I hugged him tightly while putting my head on his chest. I felt content after a week.

He is my solace, my home!!! I slept with a big smile on my face.
