Bound by Vows novel Chapter 59

"See final call is yours...but definitely i will not let you marry that brute... and I am sure your father will pressurise you again even if you escape now. Above all, i will be lucky to have you as my wife... will you honour me by making me your husband???" He asked expectedly.

Aww, he is looking cute... But can i take this decision... Ofcourse avi is best choice for me...i may not love him but i like him a lot...so i made a decision which i think is best for me.

"Yes..." I said with a smile.

He hugged me immediately.

"Thank you!!! I promise i will keep you happy always" he said and i have no doubt in that.

"But before that, we need to escape..." I said.

"Hmm lets go" he said holding my hand.

After that we escaped from back door and nobody saw us. We went to a small temple and got married.

"Finally, i don't believe you're my wife now. I dreamt of this always..." He said making me smile.

"Even i don't believe...i never thought even in dreams that my marriage will be happened like this..." I said but one thought came in my head.

"Avi..." I called him.

"Hmm" he said looking at the sky. We are sitting on the stairs of the temple.

"Am i being selfish here?" I asked him.

He looked at my side with a frown clearly asking me to explain further.

"I mean that I ran away from my own marriage and married you instead just because of my selfish reason. Even put a shame on my papa's name. He will be very disappointed with me..." I said.

"I am shocked, you're still thinking about that man... Sorry to say, but he cannot be called as your father, who believe some third person over his own daughter..." He said.

"He is just a pawn of that Akhil's vicious game. I know he is wrong but i know my father, he loves me but he thinks that I was making excuses to escape that marriage..." I explained him.

"Still i don't like it...he should have trusted you more..." He said.

"But i love him and i cannot hate him even if i want to..." i said dejectedly.

We stayed silent for few minutes, then he started talking.

"Moreover, never think you're being selfish. You're just saving your own life by marrying me. I cannot even imagine if you didn't called me here, what would have happened..." He said while i think of the consequences.

Would i got married to that pervert? Or i would have escaped... I don't know but i think this step was the best step for me. Though avi thinks that i am not selfish but i can't deny this fact that i was/am selfish.

"Now What's next?" Avi asked breaking my thoughts.

"I want to go home" i said.

"What? Don't you think that would be a bad idea?" He asked unsurely.

"Maybe but if i have already did mistake...umm...i don't know it will be called as a mistake or not...but if it is, then i want to meet papa before leaving...i cannot left without meeting and explaining him." I explained him.

"Okay, if you say so...but i don't think it's a good idea..." He said.

After sometime

We reached my house. My wedding was held at our mansion only.

Bodyguards watched me with a shock... When we moved inside, there was hustle and bustle... They was some argument going on.

"How could you say that she is not here... Today's her marriage with my son and you're saying that you have no idea where she went..." Mr. Singh shouted on papa.

"I am so sorry...i...i don't know where is—" papa was saying all this with folding his hands but i stopped him.

"Papa..." I called him walking ahead.

He got startled with my voice and looked towards my side.

He was looking relaxed after seeing me and walked ahead.

"Where did you went? I was so worried about you... Don't you know you how much important today's day is, and..." He stopped in mid looking at me.

"What is this???" He asked shockingly pointing my hairline filled with vermillion.

"I...i got married wi—with Avi" I said with little fear lowering my face.

He raised his hand to slap me but i never felt any pain.

I looked up only to see Avi holding Papa's raised hand.

"Oh wow, here we're waiting for the bride and she came already married with another man... Disgusting..." Mrs Singh said with pure hatred at my side.

Akhil walked towards my side with a rage which made me flinched due to fear...He tried to hold me but avi didn't let him.

"How could you do this to me? Huh??? I accepted you with all your faults...I overlooked everything but you got married with this beggar lover of yours" he insulted us.

"What faults are you talking about, Mr. Singh? Faults which you have...?" Avi said in anger.

"I don't talk with beggars... don't know how she married such low class boy..." He insulted avi again... It raged me.

"If Avi is beggar, i am happy to be with him rather than some rapist rich brat..." I said in anger.

"Don't you dare to cross your limit Payal... Uncle, i didn't told you everything yesterday but i guess you might need to know this now..." He said making me frown.

He is upto something...

"What are you trying to say???" Papa asked him who was silent till now.

"Wait a minute..." He said and called someone.

Soon one boy come holding an envelope... now what is this all drama.

He showed something like photos? Yesterday was not enough that he is showing more.

Papa's face was pale after seeing it and he immediately dropped the photos on floor.

I picked up few photos and get horrified with the pics.

"I am sorry uncle that I have to show you these pics but this is the reality of your daughter... I loved her so much. I was ready to compromise but I think I was wrong because she is a slut, I don't know with how many boys... I don't even want to say it..." he said with an innocent face.

Once he completed his rant, Nick hold his collar while avi punched him hard on his stomach...

And i just looked at the pics in my hand while tears in my eyes.

There were many pics of mine with different men in compromised position but those all were fake. None were real.

"How dare you to call about my di such disgusting words. I will kill you..." Nick screamed at top of his voice.

"Pa...papa... these are not real...i...i never did som—something like this..." I said while crying profusely.

He has tears in his eyes... he wanted to say something but did not able to.

Just say, you don't believe these things... just say it na, this is important for me... please.

"I...i..." He tried to say something but murmurs started by the time in the crowd.

I saw in everyone's hand, that akhil handed over the pics.

Everyone started disgracing me and calling me names...There are not many guests left...few of his side and my relatives are left only.

I was shocked to see even people who know me personally looking me with accusing eyes.

Though, i didn't do anything but feels like i did a grave mistake. Oh god, please shallow me inside the earth. I feel low with these accusations...More tears come in my eyes.

"Bhaiya, i told you earlier too, don't give your daughter that much of freedom... she put a shame on our face...now see what happened..." My bua (father's sister) said making a face.

"I...i didn't do anything wrong bua..." I told her confidently.

"Is it? Then what are these photos all about and what about this boy??? Isn't he one of your boyfriend whom you get married???" She accused me.

"Shut up, don't talk such bad things about my wife" Avi said.

"Oh, now i can't say anything to my own niece...oh god!!! Now what will happen to our reputation...First, bride ran away from her own marriage...then, she came back but after marrying with her boyfriend. Now these photos, which is showing some other story...you are a black spot of our family...it would have been better if you have never bor—" her voice stopped in mid when we heard a thud sound in back.

"Pappppaa" i ran towards papa who was holding his chest in pain.

"Papa? Papa, are you okay??" I asked him holding his hand but he jerked me away.

It hurt me like hell but i ignored it...first we need to take him to hospital.

After sometime (in hospital)...

We are waiting outside while doctor is treating Papa inside... Avi is consoling me as i am a crying mess by now...

Its all my fault...if i didn't ran away from this marriage. Papa's health would not have deteriorated...

"Doctor, how is Papa?" I asked him...

"I have told him many times before, not to take stress. His heart is weak and he cannot take stress well... you're lucky that it was a mild pain in his chest but you have to be careful in the future" doctor said making us shocked.

I was never aware about his health problem. I think i was too busy in my own life that i overlooked his health.

"Can we meet him doctor?" Nick asked him.

"Yes..." Doctor said leaving us alone.

"Di, let's go inside" nick said while i nodded my head.

We headed inside, though bua didn't wanted me to go inside but who cares about her, he is my father and i have full right to meet him.

Papa looked us and turned his face other side.

"What is she doing here? Tell her to leave" Papa said particularly to noone.

"Papa..." I called him.

"I said leave... I don't want to meet you anymore..." He said making my heart fall.

"Do...do you believe those... photos??? Do you think i...i can do something li—" i asked him with a fear.

"No... absolutely not..." He said making me relaxed

"But i cannot tolerate this...you got married by running away...you put a lot of shame on my face... you did not cared for once about my reputation..." He said with a hurt face.

"I...i am sorry" i apologized for don't know which mistake of mine.

"I don't need your sorry... what's to be done is already happened...i cannot change it...just leave" he said.

But still i stood there infront of him.

"I am sorry papa...i might have took impulsive decision but that was the right decision at that time. I couldn't marry akhil..." I explained him but he didn't said anything more.

I waited for him to say something, and what feels like hours, he started again.

"You disappointed me soo much today. I don't want to hear anything more from you...And one more thing I don't want to see you anymore. Be happy in your life" he said breaking my heart.

"No papa, don't say like that...i am your daughter...just because of my one decision...you can't..." I stopped as some beep started from the machine.

"You didn't hear me...I disown you from my family!!! Never show me your face again..."he said holding his chest again.

Soon doctor rush inside and make us leave the room.

"Di, don't worry papa is just upset...he loves you more than me... give him sometime" nick said consoling me.

"No nick, didn't you see how he said those words. We know him very well. If he said something, he won't back out from it" i said sadly.

"No, its not like that... don't worry..." Nick tried to say but i know the truth.

"You're still here...Didn't you heard what bhaiya said? Leave...do you want my brother to die..." She said making me gasp.

"Bua, why are you saying such things to di?" Nick protested but she continued with her taunts.

Still i didn't go from there...i stayed and even went to home to change my dress and it was weird to stay in lengha all day.

Avi was there with me whole time. Not for a minute he left me.

Papa stayed in hospital for one more day. Meanwhile i was there but didn't able to come infront of him as doctor strictly told us to give him any stress.

Next day, when i went infront of him by collecting some courage, he denied to see me and even talked rudely with me.

Then avi suggest me to go back to Bangalore as its been days for him to stay away from his family.

I accepted as i cannot make him suffer because of my problems...We came back after meeting nick.
