Bound by Vows

"Is it? Then who was sleeping on me yesterday?" I teased her while keeping her more close even if it possible.

"It was not me...Okay???" She said wiggling in my arms.

I thought not to tease her more as its her fast today.

"So, when will you break your fast?" I asked her after releasing her from my arms.

"In the night after seeing the star" she said adjusting her saree.

It will be hard for her.

"Hmm...Wait for me, i am coming with you" i said choosing the shirt for the day.

"Why? Don't you have your office?" She asked me...

"I am the boss. So, i can go anytime. I will go after coming back from the temple" i explained though my earlier plan was to ditch the office today as i wanted to hear the remaining past.

I am just curious, nothing else. But when she told me she is fasting, i dropped the idea...as you know it will tire her more as i know it is painful and not possible for her to tell me without shedding tears.

"Okay...you get ready...i am going to dress up aashi." She said while i nodded...

After getting into my clothes, I walked downstairs to see mom there.

"Kabir, have your breakfast," she said but i didn't answer her back as i do still not forget what happened two days back.

"Duggu, i am asking you something" she again told me.

"Go and feed your dear husband no need to ask me" i said angrily.

If she thinks i will forgive her easily, then she is wrong. She is taking the side of the wrong person even after knowing everything and i won't tolerate that.

As far as dad is concerned, i was bearing him for mom until now but after seeing his irrational behaviour towards Payal, i will forget that i have a father too.

Whatever respect left for him is also gone after that drama.

"Duggu, how could you say like this? I am your mother and whom you're calling my husband, don't forget he is your father too. Respect your elders" she said and it pained me to see her in tears but i am adamant.

"I have lost all the respect for him when he cheated on you. And if you choose your cheated husband, then forgot that i am your son" i said in anger.

"What??? How can i choose between you both? What's my fault in this?" She said.

"Your fault is taking a stand for the wrong person. You only increased his strength to do anything by forgiving him" i said.

"It's not necessary every time that what you see is always the whole truth. You're far from truth duggu and you're mistaking your father. He didn't cheat on me." She said.

"Is it? Then tell me one thing, whether divi is his own daughter or not?" I asked her a simple question.

"Yes bu—" she said but i stopped her.

"There is no but mom. Divi being his child is the proof that he cheated. I don't care why. He is a cheat in my eyes and I won't ever forgive him unlike you. I am not that great as you" i said.

"But listen to me once..." She started but Payal came down by the time with aashi so she stopped in mid.

"Shall we leave?" Payal asked looking both of us in suspicion.

"Yes, let's go," I said and picked doll in my arms.

"What were you talking with mummy? Payal asked sitting beside me at the passenger seat of the car.

"It was nothing important?" I said looking ahead at the road.

"But why do I feel like you were arguing with her. And if i am not wrong, it is related to papaji." She said.

"Yeah..." I said without explaining further.

I felt her hand over mine which is on the gear.
