"Why is it bothering you?" He said with a smirk.
"Yes or no?" I said but his smirk didn't faded a bit.
"I never accepted that i have an affair..." He said.
"But you didn't even denied it?" I countered back
He is confusing me. Why he can't say it clearly
"You tell how many things about you, i will be knowing from others? First your real family i never knew it exists and now your bloody damn marriage..." He screamed with a punch beside my face.
I closed my eyes for a second in fear...i thought he is going to punch me.
"Since we don't have a trust between us which is the base of any relationship...I think it would be better if...if we g— get separated..." He said blasting a bomb on my head..
Tears poured out of my eyes...He...he really wants th..this.
"I—is this y—your final decision?" I asked.
I could tell him about letter but if he don't trust me enough and thinks that i can betray him... then what is the use of this relationship.
"Y...yes" he said while releasing me and turning his back from me.
"Then i have n—no right to stay here..." I murmured to myself but audible enough for him to listen.
But he didn't opposed me...and it break my heart into millions.
I went into closet and started packing my clothes.
After taking my few clothes in a bag, i for the last time tried.
"I...Aashi... how will she live without me???" I asked thinking it might change his mind and he would ask me to stay back.
"She will, like she used to before you came in her life..." He said hurting me more.
I am sorry baby but mumma will have to go leaving you...my heart wept thinking about my little girl.
"What...what will i say to everyone if they saw...saw me leaving?" I asked.
Please Kabir!!! Don't let me go... please...
I thought while crying but he didn't for once turned back.
"You don't need to...i will tell them myself..." He said closing the discussion.
I looked at his back for last time and walked out of the room.
Luckily noone saw me when I walked out of the house.
I took the auto as i don't want to use his car.
Now where to? Ma's house? But she will get panic after seeing me with a bag.
Papa's house? He will not let me even enter the house.
I cried at my fate...I have 3 houses but at this moment there is no place where i could go without any hesitation.
"Madam, where?" Suddenly auto driver asked me making me wiping my tears.
I told him ma's address as that would be best option to go.
I closed my eyes thinking about Kabir, our special moments... I never thought i will saw this day in my life.
Its all because of you only...my subconscious said...
Why? Did i told him to distrust me and shout at me...i countered my subconscious...
But if he was stubborn, you're no less...my subconscious told me...
Suddenly my trance broke by the vibration of my phone.
Could it be Kabir? Maybe he wants me to come back...I smiled internally.
"Hello kabir..." I picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.
"SS" Nick said from the other side.
"Nick...what happened? Why are you sounding low?" I asked him in concern.
"Di...vo...papa" he said while breaking into tears..
My heart came to a halt.
"What happened to papa? He is fine na" I asked immediately.
"He...he...come to lifeline hospital..." He said without telling me the reason.
I just hope papa is fine.
I told the driver to change the route.
Kabir’s POV
"Duggu, where is Payal?" Mom asked me again for the nth time in this whole week.
"Mom I told you many times since last week, she is with her family...She wanted to spend some time with her ma..." I said feeling frustrated with the situation.
"I was fine earlier with it...But its more than one week since she left that too without telling anything to anyone...This is not in her nature..." She said.
"Mom... she will come back when she wants to..." I said controlling my anger.
I didn't told her to leave...she herself left me...In the last 1 week, she didn't even contact me for once.
Why she would when you treated her so badly...my heart states...
"I am doubting you both... I even talked to her but both of you are silent... If you both had any quarrel, you can sort it out... At least think about your daughter...How can you both ignore her...This is heights of irresponsibility" She scolded me.
"Mom, we are fine... don't worry!!! And as far as doll is concerned, she is fine...I know..." I said but I don't know how many days I will postpone this matter...One day or another doll will not be able to stay away from her.
And everyone will come to know that she is not coming back. Though it's not like that I don't want her back.
Of course, I want her in my life. I am missing her like hell but I cannot digest the fact she hides such big news from me.
Probably it's my mistake that she couldn't confide in me. It's not that I am angry because she was married before or she had someone in her life.
That's okay if she was divorcee because everyone has their own past. Even I have one but I didn't hide it from her.
This is the only reason I lost my control. I can stand anything but lie. I hate liars.
But what if she told you but you didn't listen to it...my heart said...
No!!! How could it be possible? If she could have told me, I would definitely know it...Urgh!!!
Payal's POV
It's been a week since I left his place. Life is always been crucial to me...
"Nick!!! what happened to Papa??? He is fine na..." I asked him as soon as I reached the hospital. I am panicking a lot. I am just hoping that papa is fine.
"Di, Pa...Papa..." He uttered and started crying badly which raised my heartbeat to another level.
