Bound by Vows

Chapter-71

Soon car stopped and i felt hands of people pulling me out of the car...

"Don't touch me..." I screamed when they started dragging me somewhere...

"Easy girl, they are showing you the way to your destination..." I heard the same voice whom i talked

over the phone...

"Who are you???" I shoot my first question to him...

"Looks like pretty lady is very eager to know about me..." I heard the same voice this time very close to

me.

"And looks like you're not man enough to show your shitty face..." I spat in anger and next second i

screamed painfully as he hold my hairs in a tight grip.

"Don't provoke me as consequences can be worse...Let me enlighten you that my man are longing to

touch your beautiful SIL from a long time. And one nod from my side and it will be boomed..." He

whispered in my ear very dangerously.

Fear hit me soon like a bullet once i registered his words...

"Where is Divya? And what do you want from us?" I again asked him same question...

Instead of answering me, he instructed his man.

"Boys...show the lady some brightness... Remove the blindfold..." He instructed me...

I opened my eyes slowly adjusting to the brightness...

Soon my eyes land on the figure sitting on the chair.

"Divi..." I called her while running to her.

But she is not responding to me...I could not hold her as my hands are tied with the rope.

"What have you done to her?" I asked to noone in particular.

"Nothing much baby girl...She was just irritating us so we thought to let her sleep for sometime..." He

said standing in the darkness.

I was unable to see his face.

"You bastard..." I screamed at him and in a second he was in front of me slapping me hard on my face.

I was shocked not because of the slap but the person who slapped me.

"Yo—you???" I said with a shocking face.

“Yes, Ms…Oh sorry, Mrs. Khurana how are you?” He asked me casually…

“You bastard, why are you doing this?” I yelled at him.

“Check your words before shooting…” He warned…

“To hell with you… Leave us this instance” I ordered him next minute…

“And why do you think I would listen to you?” He asked…

“You…you don’t know my husband!!! He will kill you for this filthy act of yours” I yelled while warning

him with an empty threat…

I am super nervous yet didn’t show it on my face.

He laughed loudly hearing me with his men…

“For that, he would need to search you” he said grazing his hand on my face where he slapped earlier.

Before he could touch me, I tried to move back but he clutched my jaw making me winch in pain.

It started paining me. I tried to remove his hand from my jaw by wiggling in his arms but due to my tied

hands, I couldn’t do much.

“Let me show you your real place bitch” he said while I gritted my teeth in anger.

Before he could make another move, someone interrupted him.

“Boss…he is here” one of his man shouted and he immediately left me.

Who is here? I thought while panting hard as if I run a marathon.

“Keep your eyes open and mouth close” he instructed his dogs before moving out not before glancing

at me.

I shoot a dagger at him. This bastard always pretended to be an innocent soul. He is a satan…

I huffed in anger and moved to divya…

“Divi… please get up…” I pleaded her sitting beside her on the floor.

I feel tired with all the mishaps and divi being fainted not helping much.

I glanced at the two dogs aka man who are busy in playing cards at the other end of the room.

I looked around to plan an escape but apart from the door I couldn’t find anything else.

Not a single window or other door. It feels like an old warehouse which must be closed from many days

looking at the spider webs around the walls.

I feel disgusted with the sight and feel like puking. I am not germophobic but now I am feeling like one.

Atlast, I once again patted on divi’s lap and what feels like hours, she finally opened her eyes

“Divi…” I called her.

“Bhabhi…” She looked at me with shocked expression

“How are you feeling now?” I asked keeping my voice low not to gain attention of the drunk head.

“I am feeling okay but slight pain in the head. But what are you doing here??? Did…did they kidnapped

you as well?” She asked me with a sob

“Kind of…” I said while narrating her the whole fiasco

“You should not have done this bhabhi… atleast not for me” she said sadly

“Why are you saying this divi? You’re my family. You’re Kabir’s sister…so I ha-“ I was saying but she

chuckled sadly and I looked at her with a frown.

“Yeah… right… sister…nahh… little correction… step-sister” she said while I gasped

“Ho…how did you know?” I asked in utter shock and surprise.

“It doesn’t matter how I know it but I am numbed to know that my whole existence is a lie… I am not

what I used to think, for which I was so proud…I am just an illegitimate child of my father whom

everyone must be sympathize” she muttered sadly with a pain clearly shown on her face

“No divi…its not li-“ I started but interrupted by someone

“Looks like a perfect re-union to me” Someone’s voice mocked us.

I turned around to glare that Joshi guy. How dare he to kidnap us and before anything why he is doing

this?

In college,he showed himself to everyone as saint but in real he is a beast.

“Pl-please leave us” Divya pleaded him. She is very frightened with this along with I assume her mental

condition is not good.

I placed my tied hands on hers to calm her down. She looked at me with tears rolled out of her eyes.

“Time over for your chitchat. Now you, follow me” he instructed.

While I stayed where I was not moving a bit.

“I knew it you will throw the tantrums…” He said saying something to his dog.

Two of his man holds me in their tight grip I was already tied with the rope.

I started protesting but that Joshi inject something in my arm. Last thing I remember was the loud

scream of Divya before losing consciousness.

Kabir’s POV

I switched on my phone after coming out of the meeting room.

Last few days have been very hectic for me. I have lost many projects to that bastard Sagar which

incurred losses in crores to me.

And it took my every ounce of sweat and determination to search for the culprit. After laying a full proof

trap, finally I was able to find the person who betrayed me by passing on the confidential information to

the rivals.

Immediately my phone pinged with the lot of messages, which I thought to check after a while. I

glanced the time which showed 8:15 p.m.

I immediately went out of the office to go to my home. I missed a lot of time to spend with her. Now

when the problem is solved, I have decided to concentrate on my family and give my whole time to doll

and Payal.

After slipping into the car, instructed my driver to start the car.

A smile erupts on my face thinking about my wild cat. Oh god, adrenaline rushed to my certain part of

the body and a sudden feeling to hold her in my arms created in my heart.

My thoughts interrupted when my phone started to ring.

“Hello” I answered the call.

“Bhai, where are you I have been calling you from last one hour” Kunal asked in a desperate voice.

I sensed something wrong and sit straight in alertness

“What happened?” I asked him

“Divi is missing…” He dropped the bomb.

“What? How? When?” I shoot my questions at him.

“She didn’t said anything before going out” Kunal said.

“Did you tried her number?” I asked him.

“Yes…it was switched off. I even tried few of her friends whom I know but they don’t know about her.”

He explained.

“Maybe she is nearby and will come back soon. Still you searched for her at her usual spots” I ordered

him feeling feared for my baby sister.

“Yes I am going to do that. But mom is hyper venting for her…” He said…

“Don’t worry Payal will handle her” I said a matter of fact.

“Bhai… actually” he hesitates for the time second.

“What is it now?” I sneered at him.

“Bhabhi is not at home” he said while I frowned.

“Where is she then?” I asked though I felt that it should be me who should know about my wife’s

whereabouts.

“She went for some work…I don’t know what… telling mom to come back in an hour but its more than 2

hours and her phone is also not reachable…” He informed.

“What the…? Did you checked with Amaya?” I asked him

“Yes she is not there…” He confirmed

“Fine…I will see, you better search for divya” I said.

After making a call to my security, I send him both the numbers to search for their last location.

I pressed my head in stress and then thought to call Nikhil… maybe she is at her father’s home.

“Hey Jiju, how are you?” Nikhil’s voice ringed in my ears.

“Is your sister with you?” I asked him the direct question

“No…what happened? Everything okay?” He asked me making me more worried.

Where is she then? She does not have any friends…

“Actually she and divya, my sister… both of their phones are switched off and I was unable to contact

them…I thought to ask you….” I explained though I am not good in this

“What? Where are you jiju? I am coming? Did you do the police complaint?” He asked

“Not yet. I am tracing their location personally…will call commissioner after it…” I said

“Okay, I am coming to your home now” he said hanging up the call.

Instead of calling commissioner, I went to look for the messages…

It was some useless messages, then bank transaction messages…that means Payal used the card for

payment somewhere…I checked it was at 7:05 p.m to some hospital?

Is she okay?

“Turn car to XY Hospital….” I instructed my driver

After that, I checked few more messages and my eyes stopped at messages received from her at 7:14

p.m.

HELP

This was the message which she sent not once but twice. My breathe hitched reading this. Is she in

some kind of danger.

I messaged Nikhil to come to the hospital directly. I don’t know why but I feel I will find some clue from

their…

But what was she doing at the hospital? Was she ill? She didn’t told me anything in the morning…

Meanwhile I called my friend who is in police department to help me. He told me he cannot file a

complaint before 24 hrs but can help me off duty. I am thankful to him for that.

I phone ringed again… It was my security

“Any update?” I asked him

“We have traced location of one phone which switched off last at XY hospital” he explained

I cursed silently

“Another one?” I asked him

“We are still searching for it…” He said

“Fine. Do it asap…” I said

Meanwhile I reached to the hospital.

“Is their any patient named as Payal Khurana?” I asked the receptionist in hurry.

“No…” She refused after a while…

“Check it properly…” I screamed in anger.

“Okay” she said in fear…

“She had an appointment at 6:00 p.m. and after her appointment she left…” She told me

“I want to check your cctv footage” I said urgently…

“Sorry we cannot do this. Its against our policy…” She denied while I fisted my hand in annoyance…

Cant she understand its urgent…

“Show me your CCTv camera damnit…” I could not hold my anger and snapped at her…

“Who are you to order me” she dared to ask in fearful voice

“Police…” My friend Ryan joined saying so…

I saw Nikhil too behind him

At the Security room of the hospital…

“Show the footage around 7 today at reception area” I instructed…

Video started playing and I saw Payal at the reception paying the bill. She was looking tired in the

footage. After that she walked out of the hospital.

“Play the camera outside the hospital” Ryan said…

I saw her walking to the car parked not too far from the hospital gate.

She sat inside but didn’t started it for 5 minutes. I told her to take driver with her but this girl…ughh!!!

After a while, I saw her coming out of the car while it looks like she was talking on her phone with

someone.

I frowned when I saw her walking…more precisely running to other side while typing something on her

phone.

I checked the time. It’s the same time she messaged me

“What was she doing?” Nikhil asked with a frown…

“Probably messaging me…” I chuckled sadly while forwarding my phone to show the message Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“It shows her tensed situation as she typed HLEP instead of HELP…” Ryan concluded…

I couldn’t saw where she moved to as it was not within the reach of camera.

“Is there any other camera?” Nikhil asked…

“No…” Security guard said…

Fuck!!!! I cursed myself…

Only if I didn’t switched off my phone… this situation wouldn’t arises…

We walked out of the hospital and saw her car was parked their…I looked inside only to find her wallet

on the passenger seat…

“It looks like a kidnapping to me” Ryan said
