Bound by Vows novel 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.

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.

"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.
