Bound by Vows

Payal's POV

"Nikhil...nikhil..." I heard the voice of papa calling him...

"Didi, tell papa he is not at home... And also ask him if he needs anything." I told the maid.

"Yes..." She said and walked to his room.

"What he said?" I asked the maid once she comes back.

"He was asking for sir only... Didn't told me anything..." She said...

"Okay. You can go and prepare for dinner. I will come in a while" I said.

Suddenly i heard a voice of thud coming from his room. What happened?

I ran towards his room in panic mode and saw him lying on the floor.

I walked in long strides towards him without giving any further thoughts.

"Papaa...what happened? How did you fall?" I asked in panic.

"I was just trying to get my mobile from the desk and suddenly felt dizzy and loose my balance" he explained.

"Who told you to get up from the bed... you're still weak...you could have called me or nick or even maid..." I blabbered which tears started to pour out of my eyes.

"I am fine Payu... Don't worr—" He stopped when i stiffened seating beside him.

He was calling me by my nick name after years and most probably he realised the situation because next second he jerked my hand back which was holding him to support.

"What are you doing here? Who asked you to enter my house?" He said sternly.

The warmness which i was feeling seconds before blurred in a minute and he got back to his old self.

"I...I came to see y—you!!!" I said while trembling in fear.

"I don't need you. Get out from my house right now" He shouted at me while getting up.

He clutched his chest in slight pain. I got panicked and hold his shoulders.

"Papaaa!!! Are you okay? Should I call doctor?" I asked him.

"I am fine but won't be if you stood infront of me for long" he said with a venom in his voice.

It hurt me...hurt me like hell...Tears filled in my eyes...my own father doesn't want to see my face.

"I...I am...so—rry" i said with much difficulty.

"What are you sorry for? For putting a shame on my face or for marrying that bastard..." He said.

"Do—don't say like that about him..." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Ohh!!! So you still favour him over your father. How can you not? Afterall you always gave priority to that scum more than your father" he said with anger.

"Please don't bad mouth about a de—dead person..." I said with much difficulty.

"De...dead???" He looked at me with soft eyes...

"I lost...lost him right after ou—r marr..." I could not complete my words as sob released from my mouth.

For once i thought he will hug me for comforting me but whom am i joking.
