Bound by Vows

Kabir's POV

"What has happened to her doctor?" I asked him while he was checking her nerves.

"She was getting panick attack... most probably reliving that scenes which happened with her..." He said checking her nerves.

"She was not even able to recognise my touch. She was thinking me that bastard" i said with frustration as i was feeling helpless when she was calling me for help assuming me as akhil.

That bastard has inflicted such pain to her. I will rot him in hell.

"Give her some time. She needs your love and care, specially in this condition. I have given her injection to calm her. She will be up in an hour" Doctor said while i nod.

I again hold her hand while sitting on the stool.

I turned around when hear a click on the door. My father-in-law was standing their with guilt and lot of tears in his eyes.

I didn't invite him inside as deep down i felt he is responsible for my wife's condition. His egoistic and conservative thoughts ruined her past years.

"I...i am sorry payu...i am responsible for everything. I..i never imagined that i was throwing you into the grave by that marriage...i am responsible for ruining your life..." He said while sitting on opposite side while taking to my unconscious wife.

I agree with him but i know my wife thinks otherwise and she won't like him like this.

"Papa, you don't have to remorse like this. That was all past and payal will not like you this weak..." I said though i am not good in these talks.

He nodded but continued tearing his eyes. I felt bad for him but again it was his own doing.

After a while, he walked out of the room while i was still waiting for my love to wake up.

I felt a movement of her eyes and immediately felt a relief.

"Payal, baby...are you okay?" I asked her when she finally opened her eyes.

"Kabir..." She said with a weak voice.

"Yes baby it's me..." I said while tried to sit.

I helped her and she immediately hugged me tightly...

"Kabirr, he...he kidnapped me, molested me...i am ruined now...how will i liv-" she said while sobbing but i interupted her before she assumes more...

"No...he didn't do anything to you... you're safe and you fought him and didn't let him do anything to you, my love..." I said caressing her hairs...

"But...but he killed my avi...kabir he killed him...how could he do this...he was innocent and got killed because of me..." She confessed shocking me. I cannot believe that bastard stoop that low to murder someone...

However i composed myself quickly and focused on her as she started crying profusely...

"Calm down love...we will deal with him later...i promise you he will rot in hell for whatever he did...but please you need to compose yourself...your crying will affect our baby..." I said making her looking at me...

"Our baby?" She asked me...

"Yes soon-to-be mumma... w're pregnant" i said with a huge smile on my face...

"I knew it" she said with tears falling down but this time with a smile...

I touched her stomach while she placed her hand above mine...

"Thank you sweety for this wonderful gift..." I said while kissing her forehead...

"Kabir, that akh...akhil??" She asked with a fearful voice...

"Forget him...i will take care of it...you just focus on yourself and our baby..." I said reassuring her...

She nodded her head. Soon, doctor checked her and she was doing fine.

After a week...

I came back home from a police station. Akhil has been charged for murder and kidnapping with molestation charges. Court hearing will start in a week or so. I don't want Payal to go through this but it is inevitable. I will try to keep her involvement minimal.

I went into my room where payal was sitting infront of window...

I hugged her from behind while keeping my head on her shoulder. She got startled but soon relaxed in my arms.
