"Bound By Tradition Unbound By Love" [ Completed]

Chapter 64

Aditya responded, "Geeta, as Shiv mentioned, you have to stay in the hospital for a while. After that, we can look after your accommodation and where you can stay."

Geeta looked at Aditya and replied, "What are you talking about, Aditya? I am here in India, in Mumbai. Even my parents don't stay in this city. I can't tell them about my accident and stress them. Why look for accommodation elsewhere? I am soon to be Arjun's wife. I'll come to your home directly. If not today, I'll come there as a daughter-in-law. That house, right?"

Aditya and Kishore clenched their fists, listening to her lies. However, they stood there calmly, not wanting to react. Aditya said, "I think it won't look good for you to come to the Malhotra mansion, Geeta. People might talk about it."

Geeta smiled and replied, "Aditya, if Arjun were here, he would have taken me to his home immediately without wasting a second. Don't worry, no one will talk. If Dadu, Dadi, Vasu Aunty get to know about my accident, they will suggest the same, so don't worry."

Priya offered, "Geeta, why don't you stay with us at our home?" Geeta declined, saying, "No, Priya. You stay with your parents, and I don't know you well. I won't be comfortable staying with you. Don't worry; I'll be going to the Malhotra mansion. If anyone writes anything, we can announce that I am soon to be Mrs. Arjun Malhotra."

Siya, feeling overwhelmed, said, "I'll be waiting outside," and walked away wiping her tears. She felt an overwhelming sense of madness creeping in, desperate for Arjun to be beside her, to calm her and provide the sanity she needed.

Dev noticed her distress came over and sat beside her. Siya leaned into his side crying. Dev consoled her, "Laddu, it's the time you have to be strong, for you and your baby, until Arjun returns."

Siya expressed her impatience, saying, "I am getting impatient, Bhai." Dev suggested, "Do you want to come to our home for some days?" Siya replied, "No, Bhai, not now. I'll come, but not now. You are right; I can't get weak now."

Everyone who stood there watched Siya with sympathy, understanding the emotional turmoil she was going through.

Aditya, overcome with frustration, banged his hand against the wall. Muskaan and Kishore rushed to him asking "Aditya what are you doing?" Aditya vented his frustration saying, "Look at that bitch. She is still lying to our faces about her identity.

We know about her, but still we can't do anything. And there's Siya; she's supposed to be happy now, stress-free, but she has this emotional turmoil. Still, I couldn't do anything. What if she comes to the Malhotra mansion? How will Siya take that emotionally?"

I wish I wish Arjun was here today, these problems would have been solved immediately.

Muskaan held Aditya's hand and reassured him, "Don't worry, Aditya. Siya is stronger; she will be okay. It's just a matter of a few days. Once Arjun comes, everything will be back to normal."

Soon, Aditya received a call from Vasundhara. He answered and said, "Yeah, Badi Ma." She replied, "Aditya, I was calling Siya's mobile, but her phone is not reachable." Aditya reassured her, "Badima, she is with me. We are on the way home."

Vasundhara expressed her concern, "Oh, I was getting tense. She usually calls me whenever she's late, but today I didn't get a call. I got worried." Aditya comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Badima. We are on the way. We will come home soon. Bye."
