Preet P.O.V.

I flipped through the album wiping my tears as I could see the man I married, my man , my Kabir smiling. The smile that was only meant for me. I still remember the days of my Pregnancy, owing to my previous miscarriage, I knew I had a difficult pregnancy but it was one of the most beautiful times.

It was once when I was craving Ice cream so badly that Kabir had to drive half way through the city at midnight.
I still remember him massaging my swollen feet all night just so I could have a good nights sleep. How happy he was when I'd vomit or crave for something like the typical pregnancy phase because as he quoted, he loved my tantrums.

I can never forget the day when Araj uttered dadda as her first word and when Abeer took his first step, Kabir was always a part of every milestone of the babies.
As I flipped the page again I sobbed looking at Papa. I immediately shut the album moving to the terrace.

"Papa, nahi ho Raha mujhse ab! Nahi bachi apki preet mei himmat. Mera Kabir please mujhe lauta do warna Mai mar jaungi!" I screamed looking up at the sky.

I was waiting for Kabir as he had crossed all limits today! Abeer and Araj were getting awarded as best students today and he missed their felicitation again.
Time and again I let him go because I knew it was not easy for him.
I still don't understand how he handled losing our first baby and still stood strong for me. Everyday I reminded myself of how he's been the pillar of our family and this time it was my turn. But when I heard Araj sob throughout the way home I knew it was time to face the devil. I asked Tara if she could take the kids home today and Aryaman was more than excited.

Just as I was about to walk back in I heard the door opening to a very tired and lifeless Kabir.

I moved up to him and took his bag offering him water.

"We need to talk Kabir!" I deadpanned.
He looked at me very well aware of the war I was about to start.

"Can't we talk later Preet?" He asked.

"No we need to talk now." I said plating the dinner.

"Preet I really don't have the time and energy for this" he replied loosening his tie trying to move upstairs.

I pulled his hand back and dragged him back to his earlier position.

"Have you fucking lost it Preet? Don't you understand I lost my Father, will you let me mourn in peace and not throw tantrums making it all about yourself." He seethed.

"Yes, I did,I have fucking lost everything, he was my father too, I loved him more than any of you Malhotras did. But you know what I lost more than him, I fucking lost my husband, the man I loved and married, the father of my children!" I cried back

"Fine, get over it." He said not caring any more and oh how it struck the last chord of my patience.

I took the glass bottle from the table breaking it harshly against the chair, some glass pieces piercing through my palm as I made him hold the bottle forcefully against my neck.

"Fine get over with it!" I screamed pressing it against my neck sure that it would leave it's mark.

For once I saw emotions in his eyes. The care and the love resurfacing but his anger covered it.

He pulled his hand back making sure not to hurt me throwing away the bottle holding me against my shoulders pulling me roughly.

'Preet, Pagal hai kya?" He said hugging me and it was all it took for me to melt and breakdown.

I slipped down as she sat with me making sure to soothe the fall.

"Mai aise nahi jee sakti Kabir, mai tere Bina nahi jee sakti!" I sobbed.

"Mai yahi toh hu na Preet, Papa nahi hai!"

"Iski sazza aap Hume kyu de rahe ho Kabir, mujhe mere bacho ko? "

"Preet I don't know how to get back to normal, I just can't do it anymore, you the kids, mujhse nahi hoga!" He replied, killing me with his words.

It was clear he had given up on us. On me. If this is what he wanted. He'll
Fucking get it .

I wipes my tears, getting up taking my car keys and moving out of the house.

"Where are you going Preet?" He asked

"Apne itne time mei pehli baar mujhse kuch manga hai , apni Jaan ke liye toh mai mai apni Jaan bhi de du! Yeh kya baat hai!" I replied walking out.
As I stepped out of the house.

While driving I was constantly crying not knowing where to go, what to do? All our momets replying in my head.

Our marriage, his pranks, his possessiveness, our holidays, everything. There was nothing I could remember where he wasn't a part of . Abeer and Araj? What will I tell them? All of me wanted that man.

"Mere mei Mera kuch bacha hi nahi hai Kabir, kaise sambhalu khud ko?" I cried but I knew I had to get home safe for my kids.

But out of nowhere a truck started moving towards me. It was as if the driver had lost control over the vehicle.
I honked and tried avoiding the accident only in resulting in dashing my car straight to the tree on the right.

The force was strong as I banged myhead against the steering wheel. I could feel blood oozing out and within no time the paramedics were here along with police. As soon as Singh uncle saw me he rushed toward me. I was asked to get bandaged meanwhile being questioned by the police.

But I heard uncle talking to someone and informing them about the accident it was hardly 10 minutes when two cars rashly stopped at the accident sight.
Kabir stepped out the first one followed by Aryan both equally angry.

Before any of them could say anything, I said it out loud.

"Can we go home?" I replied as I saw both of them nodding their head positively.

I moved past Kabir towards Aryan as he helped me get in the car. Kabir stood still not knowing how to respond.

Aryan being hell angry with Kabir didn't bother replying to him and drove the car past him.

"I can't let the kids see me like this." I stated.

"The kids have left for a camp with Aryaman for 6 days." He replied as I heived a sight.

"What happened Princess? He asked lovingly.

"Sab khatam ho gya veer! Mera sab kuch khatam hogya" I replied as I got out of the car since we had reached home.

I entered the house where my parents saw my condition and rushed towards me but I had no energy so ignoring them I moved towards my room.
I freshened up and changed getting into the bed.

Weirdly I slept without any difficulty maybe because of the medicines provided post the accident.
