"Payal...lets go" i said grabbing her waist to leave the function.
Its no use to create more mess as it has already been... and i need to talk with her about all this, then only i might be able to help her.
"Didn't i told you earlier bhaiya, don't give your daughter too much freedom... see the outcome...she again came but this time with a man along with her daughter whom we didn't even knew about... Don't know from where she came this time after making her face coloured with black...Such a shame she is for our family!!!" One lady standing beside her father said boiling my blood with rage.
"How dare you to talk such shit about my wife...if you were not a lady, i would have punched you..." I said with clenching my jaw.
"Ka- Kabir don't... she is my family..." She said sobbing profusely.
Why are you not saying anything to them? They are talking shits and she is taking everything while crying only.
"Buaa....what are you saying??? Don't say such shameful things about my sister...She is a gem..." Nikhil said.
Atleast someone in her family support her...I am glad
"Mumma... don't cry" doll said looking at Payal who is crying.
"Stop this fake emotional drama...and leave..." Her father said with clenching jaw while i was shocked.
How could someone say such things to his own daughter?
"Lets go..." I said holding Payal's hand climbing down the stage.
"Di... please don't go..." Her brother, Nikhil hold her other hand halting us.
"Its bett- better if i leave...I am so sorry for ruining your special day...i...i didn't had any idea it was y- your engagement" she said started crying again.
I hold her from her shoulders comforting her.
"Don't say like this di...i am so sorry you had to hear all that...but don't worry..i will come to meet you soon...then we will talk..." He said coming forward to hug her.
I left her...Both brother sister duo hugged eachother with tears in both of their eyes.
"Please take care of my sister... please" he said emotionally while i nodded.
"I will and i am sorry for that hit.." i apologized for punching him earlier.
I don't want to start my relation with my brother in law on a bad note.
"Its okay...i am glad you did..." He said with little smile on his face.
I tried to talk to her but she is lost in her own thoughts.
Doll is sleeping peacefully in her lap while i am driving the car fastly so that we could reach home and i would ask her what is happening.
"Let me carry doll to upstairs?" I asked once we reached home.
She didn't replied but stayed in her place waiting for me to come... Her sobbing have stopped now but her tears are still visible on her face.
I hurriedly moved to her side of the car. After picking up doll in my arms, we walked inside the house.
"Arey...duggu...you both came too early...I thought it will take atleast an hour more..." Mom asked as soon as we entered.
Payal didn't stopped or listened to mom and climbed up the stairs for the room.
"What happened to bhabhi?" Kunal asked looking towards the stairs.
"Yeah...She is looking disturbed..." Dad said.
"Its nothing ma, she is just tired...she will be fine after resting a bit..." i said without disclosing what happened there as i myself is clueless about all these things.
"Please change doll clothes and give her milk too...she didn't eat anything there...i am going in my room" i said handling doll to mom.
I know she will take care of her and i have to take care of someone else.
"Hmm...fine" she said nodding her head
I hurriedly opened the door of our bedroom only to find it empty.
I heard the sound of bangles from closet... So i walked there.
I saw her struggling with her dress trying to open it very harshly where tears can be seen on her face.
"Why are you taking out your frustration on this small zip of yours?" I asked standing behind her.
She got startled with my presence...I took the fabric in my hand to help her in opening the dress.
She didn't protest and let me do what I wanted to.
Once i opened the zip of the gown and her creamy spotless back is on full display but i choose to focus on other things.
I asked her the question which is making me restless since the time I know it.
"Will you tell me what is happening? How come you have a other family i never knew about? And why the hell they're soo angry with you?" I asked in one breath but she choose to ignore.
She picked her night dress and started walking but i grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"K..Kabir...pleasee...not now!!!" She said and i can hear the lump formed in her throat ready to break it.
I left her hand because if she needs space then its okay...i will wait for her to open up.
She walked outside the closet and i sighed.
After changing my clothes...i walked out of the room but she is still there in washroom.
After sometime i heard door unlocking and she walked out wearing her cute pyjamas...I have a separate liking for it.
It made her look cute and desirable.
She laid down beside me after dimming the light of the room.
She turned her back towards me and i sighed.
She is not gonna loosen up unless i compel her.
"Was that 1 hour space enough for you or you need more?" I asked her grabbing her arms turning her towards me.
She looked in my eyes with her eyes and nose red due to crying.
I took her in my arms and she hugged me tightly hiding her face in my chest.
"Shh baby...how much you will cry..." I consoled her when she started her crying session again.
"I...I am all alone Kabirr...He...still loathe me...He was still looking me with soo much anger in his eyes for me...I can still see hatred in his eyes for me..." She said with hiccups.
"Who told you, you're alone??? Huhh? I am there for you...this family is always there for you..." I tried to reasoned her.
"Also, if he is angry at you for something... he will definitely forgive you if you apologise to him..." I consoled her.
"No...he will not listen to me...as i put a shame on his face due to some decisions in my life...i...he got to face soo much because of me....and...and now he hates me and never want to see my face..." She said crying profusely.
My insides are paining to see brave girl-i know from past few months- this weak crying in my arms.
"He will one day...i promise he will..." I said rubbing my hand on her back.
I can't see her like this...in this last month we grew closer and now i want to live my whole life with her, by loving her and giving her everything in my reach.
Yes...I Kabir Khurana who used to think that he can never fall in love again now loves her truly and madly from bottom of my heart.
And i know she also likes me a lot...she might deny it but her body said it all...the way she responds to my touch confirms me she also wants me as much as i want.
"Payal..." I called her but she didn't respond.
When i look at her, she is sleeping peacefully with her hands on my torso.
"Sleep baby...i will make everything good for you..." I said kissing her forehead.
After sometime, i called my private detective.
