Bound by Vows

Two Month later

Today was the last hearing for Akhil’s case. Though Kabir kept Payal away from this chaos as much as he can. But her presence was required to expose him in front of court.

After all the evidences and witnesses, Akhil was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder charges of Avi, kidnapping and harassing Payal.

While going out, Payal could see the murderous look in Akhil’s eyes towards them and she felt her insides clutch with unknown fear.

But she kept herself positive thinking he can’t do anything from behind the bars.

“Shall we?” Kabir asked her keeping his hand on her shoulders.

With a heavy pregnant belly, Payal climb down the stairs of courtroom with the help of her husband.

That nagging feeling didn’t wash away even after leaving behind the scenes of courtroom.

She was regretting her decision to come here in this condition. But it was important for her own peace which she felt after sending him behind the bars.

Suddenly, she felt her throat dry amd look for bottle in the car.

“You need something?” Kabir asked while driving the car. They are heading towards their home.

“Umm, water…” She said while looking at now empty bottle…

“Ohh…let me buy it once I spot any shop” he commented…

“That’s okay…I can manage till we reach home” she said as she wants to reach asap.

“You just wait for me here. I’ll be back in a minute…” Kabir said stopping the car at the side.

Before she could deny him, he came out of the car.

Even after waiting for more than five minutes, when he didn’t came back… Payal came out of the car to look for her husband.

She slowing started crossing the road looking left and right. When she looked ahead, she noticed her husband’s back and got relief from an unknown tension building in her mind.

Kabir just turned after purchasing the water bottle and saw his wife crossing the road.

He frowned looking at her figure because traffic was heavy on the road and it was not safe for her according to him.

He walked towards her to help her but his eyes widened when he saw a car coming from the wrong side and she didn’t noticed it yet.

He ran at full speed throwing the bottle on the ground.

Payal frowned looking at her husband who was coming towards her in a jet speed. She turned her head towards the left and stopped in her track to see the car going to hit her anytime soon.

In her reflex, she protect her belly first by covering it with her arms.

Before the car could hit her, Kabir pushed her to the side and car hit him instead of her.

Kabir winced in pain as his arms scratched with the road as he dropped his whole weight on his arm.

He was relieved atleast Payal was safe. But this satisfaction was for a second as he heard her screaming in pain.

His face paled looking at his wife clutching her belly… Apparently when he pushed her, she could not balanced herself and fall on her stomach resulting in the hitting the ground facing it.
