Chapter 83: chapter 83

The  hotel room was on the 11th floor and the venue was on the 10th.. Lift was busy so Sanjana and Nidhi decided to take stairs as they have to go down just one floor ..Sanjana's words were ringing in Nidhi's ears  which made her a little absent minded and she  tripped from the last stair..Kabir rushed to her when he saw her tripping.. Nidhi was hissing with pain as her ankle was badly sprained. Kabir made her slowly stand up but she couldn't.. She had tears in her eyes..Sanjana and Aditya both were worried about Nidhi.."Aadi, I will take her to hospital, don't worry"  , saying so Kabir lifted Nidhi in his arms in bridal style making Nidhi's eyes wide."Leave me, I can go by myself" ,she shouted, hitting his chest .If you don't stop shouting I will drop you down and once  your back  bone is broken you go  to hospital by yourself",he threatened..She was afraid looking at his angry face and calmed down and circled her hands around his neck..He made her sit in his car slowly and took her to hospital and from there to her home..When they reached her home, he again carried her in his arms and walked inside.Nidhi's mom and grandma were shocked to see Nidhi in Kabir's arms..He looked at them and asked " Where is her room??"Her mother signalled upstairs and without speaking he took the stairs and entered Nidhi's room..He made her sleep on the bed and said," Take care and don't forget to take medicines".." Nidhi nodded at him like a child"..He didn't talk much to her and walked out and when he came downstairs he saw  Nidhi's mom and grandma's surprised faces and Nidhi's father's angry face."Why are you here?? ",Nidhi's father asked. She sprained her ankle at Sanjana's party.. As she couldn't walk I supported her.."When did you start caring about  Nidhi, Kabir?? you have  never cared for her before."Kabir took a deep breath and said ," Uncle,I know you are angry with me with what I did to her..I  apologise for that..but that day I didn't support her even though I know she didn't do it  because I thought she deserved someone better than me ....I came to know that she left the city for her studies and thought she would start a new life..But when I met her last month at her college, I realised how much I missed her and how much I love her.. But I think I was late for her love..  she doesn't want me anymore.. I cared for her earlier  and I  will in future even if she moves on into her new life.".Kabir spoke and left her house leaving Nidhi's father speechless..Nidhi who managed to stand came out of her room and heard the conversation between her dad and Kabir..She was surprised to hear the reason.. tears started flowing from her eyes. She didn't understand what is wrong and what is right now..*****On the other hand When Kabir reached his home he was restless ,he straight away walked towards his study..In the night at the dining table Avani asked her grandmother," Grandma,where is dad?? today is  Sunday. Where did he go??Avani was playing in her room and didn't know her father had arrived.. she checked his bedroom and thought he had not arrived yet.."Avani , dad is in Study"Hearing her grandma, Avani rushed  to meet her dad ,but just before she entered the study, Kabir left for his bedroom.. She walked inside slowly and didn't find her dad, she felt disappointed and when she was about to leave, her gaze fell on the album on Kabir's table which had her father's pic on the cover page..Out of curiosity, Avani walked towards his study table and took the album and opened it.." Her eyes were wide and was shocked  when she saw Nidhi as a bride beside his father "..Kabir when searching for books saw this album in rack..He took it out and admired Nidhi in the pics.. He didn't treasure her when she was with him and now he is after her and she has become a mirage for him. He saw the pics for some time and got  lost in Nidhi's thoughts and later  left to his bedroom leaving it on the table..Avani rushed downstairs  to her Grandma with the album in  her hands.." she was crying and sobbing" "Avani ,what happened beta ,did dad scold you??" Kabir's mom was worried..This is dad's wedding album right?? Kabir's mom was shocked to see it..She quickly took it from her hands and asked" ,This is so heavy, why did you bring this ??Avani ignored all her questions and asked," is cute aunty( sob) my mom ??Kabir's mom was speechless when she heard Avani..Grandma," tell me, is cute aunty  my mom?? Kabir's mom sighed and said," yes Avani ,she is your mom"Then why is she not living with us?? Doesn't she like me??She loves you a lot sweetheart, but she is a little angry with dad  so she left.Avani blinked her eyes and asked ," is she still angry??"Hmmm ,she is .. Is she angry with me too??No dear she is not..she loves you so much and bought a lot of toys for you.. Come let's go to your room ,I will give you the toys she got  for you when you were little..Really, Avani's eyes lit up and she ran towards her room..Kabir's mom's eyes were wet but she controlled and walked along with Avani..She took all the  toys that Nidhi had brought and placed in front of her. Avani's cute little  eyes lit up and she started playing with the teddy bear..Kabir's mom thought she diverted her successfully and  went inside the kitchen to bring milk for her.. She returned back with the milk and to her surprise Avani was not in her room. She checked the whole ground floor and worriedly walked upstairs to check in the first floor in study, guest bedrooms and finally in Kabir's room..Kabir was tired so he laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.."Kabir, did you see Avani ?? I couldn't find her in  the whole house.." , there was worry in his Mother's voice..Did you check properly?? where will she go??I checked the entire house and it's raining heavily outside.. I am worried kabir..He hurriedly checked the whole house shouting " Avani"..But there was no response..in the heavy rain he even checked the whole garden.. but didn't find a trace of her. how can she disappear in thin air. It was evening,but because of heavy rain it looked dark..Avani is scared of darkness ,so how can she go out?? Kabir's heart was thumping harder.*******15 minutes earlier, when Avani's grandma went inside the Kitchen ,she decided to go to Nidhi's house to bring her back home. If she tells her grandma she will not allow her so she decides she will sneak out  when she is not around. It was raining heavily and was getting dark.. she was afraid of thunderstorms..  she was in tears.. she stood for a while  and ran towards Nidhi's house..She stood in front of her door totally drenched in water. Nidhi's mom and Grandma were surprised to see the little figure at their door.. They knew her.. Nidhi's mom walked towards her and asked ," Sweet heart ,why did you come out in heavy rain.. see you are totally wet.. and you have come alone too??Avani was crying and she didn't respond to any of her questions.."Stop scaring the little girl with your questions,  Avani beta  ,you come inside first..", Nidhi's grandma said..Avani stood rooted and she didn't come inside.  Nidhi's mom understood that she might have come to meet Nidhi..She called the maid and said," Go bring Nidhi mam down.."." Nidhi mam, a small girl is standing at the door totally drenched in rain.. She is not coming inside. Mom said you to come down.."Little girl, it must be Avani. but why is she here alone in the rain.. There were a lot of questions running through her mind.."Ok, let's go, help  me a little."As Nidhi took medicine she was a little relieved from the pain, so with the help of a maid she went downstairs..Her heart ached when she saw the little girl all wet.  her eyes were red and she was taking hiccups but denied drinking water and Nidhi's mom was pleading with her.. "Avani", hearing Nidhi's voice , more tears welled up in her eyes..Nidhi slowly squatted down and asked," Sweetheart ,why are you standing outside. you are all wet.  you will catch a cold. get inside.." Nidhi took Avani's hand. Avani was stubborn ,she didn't move from her place..Nidhi was surprised to see her strange behaviour..*** On the other hand when Kabir was worrying his mom said ," Kabir, she saw your wedding album with Nidhi and asked me,"  is Nidhi her mom??"His mom told him everything from the beginning,how she brought a wedding album from his study and how she consoled her and took her  back to her room.  Kabir, as if understood something, rushed out of the house. He guessed she might have gone to Nidhi's house...
