Bound by Vows

"Don't you have any shame, before questioning my upbringing. You're blaming me that i have not taught her any manners. I have nourished Divya as my own when i was very well aware about the fact that she is your illegitimate child" she huffed in anger.

Divya didn't believe her ears. She is not the daughter of her mother? She could not digest this news. And walked out of the mansion without much in her senses. She was walking aimlessly till the car stopped by her side and pulled her inside the car.

She was brought back to present by the tip of someone's fingers on her cheeks. She then realised, she was crying actually.

"You okay?" Nikhil asked her in concern. She just hummed and look forward to see any trace of her brother.

After sometime...

"Should we go inside to check? Why is it taking them a lot of time? I...i just hope bhai would find bhabhi soon and she is fine" Divya voiced out her concern sitting on the passenger seat.

She was calm than before but obviously worried for her sister-in-law.

"She would be fine definitely..." Nikhil said tapping his fingers on the steering wheel while looking forward anxiously for his sister.

He kept the car at standby ready to flew away as soon as person in concern reach the car.

He would have gone long back to search his dear sister if it was not the hand of certain someone who was clutching his very tightly in her lap.

He was deeply saddened to see her in weak state. They might have many differences now, but he loves her truly. And it was hard to see her in such trauma.

"I...i just hope babyy is also fine" Divya faintly muttered but somehow due to his attentive flex, he heard her.

Nikhil snapped his head at a jet speed towards her. He thought he heard wrong, he glanced from her eyes to her stomach.

"Wh-whose babyyy?" He asked with trembling voice...

Offcourse, she was not talking about herself. But his trembling voice got her attention and she know exactly what he was thinking. About their own baby.

"Bhabhi told me that she thinks that she is pregnant. Though it is not confirmed yet. But...but she was not well when we were together an...and i left her alone in that danger...i am a bad person" she completed breaking down but nikhil pulled her in his embrace to console her.

"Shh..it was not your fault...its just circumstances created by them..." he tried to pacify her cries.

"No...I am a bad person. Very bad...i killed my own baby...i killed our chance of being together. Now because of me, if something happened to bhabhi or her baby, i will die because of guilt" she sobbed in his arms but he stiffen after remembering his own seed who was aborted by her before it could be blossomed.

She realised what she blurted when he withdraw his arms from her. She knew it was one of the reason why they parted ways. She loved him but was not ready to become mother, to take such huge responsibility, when she herself was an immature and college going girl.

He suggested at that time to tie a knot and bring that child to this world. But she was scared, what she would tell her family who trusted her. It was the outcome of one night, in the heat of the moment they got carried away which led to unwanted pregnancy.

"Nickk, sorr-" she started but interrupted by nikhil who whispered his sister's name when he saw her in Kabir's arms.

He immediately climb down from the car and helped kabir to adjust in back seat with payal on his lap.

Nikhil got tensed seeing his lovely sister in this condition but he controlled his emotions as she needs medical care asap.

He got back to the driver seat and started the car in high speed towards the hospital.

"Broo, what happened to bha-bhabhi" Divya asked slowly scared to witness any adverse reaction from her brother but what she got was complete silence.

Kabir was continuously tapping his wife's cheeks with tears brimming in his eyes.
