A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 24: Cute couples

Sunny

I yawned as I stretched my arms in the air to remove pain from my body, It's morning and I must have watched at least four movies till now. I glanced over at the cute couples next to me. They are sleeping so...cutely that I don't feel like disturbing them.

I went to my room and came back with the blanket, spreading it on them. Bhabhi sa leaned her head down on Karan bro's shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her.

They both are precisely my love inspiration.

Leaving them alone, I decided to take a nap because it's hard to stay awake when you have spent all your night just watching movies.

I was on my way when something caught my eyes, I took a few steps back, staring at a thing that I don't expect to be here.

It's the same Peacock statue that I returned to Vishal, I wandered towards it, taking it in my hand, I began to scan, the same color, same design, did Bhabhi sa bought it? But how it's possible when I bribe that shopkeeper to arrange another piece for me, he told me he was only able to find one exact piece for me. Did he lie?

Wait, Wait, Wait, wait, wait.

Vishal said he is going to give this peacock as a present to his girlfriend, he's gonna propose to her…..Is that mean…..?

Rena

"Rhea ma'am, I tried!" I said as she stopped walking here and there, shooting me a death glare.

"You tried?" She repeats in sarcasm, "I wish I could say, you tried Rena! You are here for the past couple of days and still, you didn't get my work done!" She yelled at me.

"I am sorry for that, But Karan sir shouted at me for coming late and later he gave me all the work that I have to complete or else he has said he will fire me from my job! I was busy, that's why I didn't get a chance to do as you told me," I explained my situation to her but let alone understanding, she gave me a duh look.

"I don't want any excuses, Rena! He is your boss, of course, he will give you work, it's your job to turn it down somehow!"

"I am trying…" I trail off sadly.

"You ain't! We don't have much time, we need to frame Karan before he does something against my plans!" She slammed her hand on the table in frustration, the glass broke inside her hand, resulting in it bleeding.

"You need a bandage," I said and walked over to the cabinet to get the first aid kit.

"These small wounds are nothing as compared to what Karan has given me here." She points at her heart as I cleaned her wounds properly, covering them with the bandages.

I cock my brow in solid confusion, "But Ma'am, isn't he your brother? I thought you just want all of the company and properties which are under his name."

"No, Rena, No, " She faked a chuckle, "Karan is not my biological brother, neither do I want his money, all I want his love which I have always craved for!" She clarifies, sarcastically.

"And do you think if you'll frame him, he will love you?" I asked, puzzled.

"Nope, but it will help me in destroying his perfect guy image in his own family and media. Adah will leave him and Sushma ma and Thakur sa will never forgive him."

"Still, I don't understand your plans." I honestly told her.

She just smiled evilly, "Don't understand, just wait and watch."

"If you say, but can I get some money in advance?"

"No, You won't get a single penny until you do my work, " She said, rudely, "It's time for Karan to arrive here, be prepared, and don't make him get any sort of doubt on you, Okay?"

I simply nodded, "Yes, Ma'am."

"Don't watch my face! Leave now!" She ordered and I instantly exited her office.

Karan

My vision was blurred as I tried to open them, I felt heaviness on my body, gazing around I found Adah was on me, she's in deep slumber.

Damn! I can't believe I fell asleep on the couch! I moved my gaze to find Sunny but he was nowhere to be seen, he must have gone to his room already and he didn't even care to turn off the tv or wake me up in the process, he just covered us with a blanket.

Stupid fellow!

I stood up, lifting Adah in my arms in a bridal style, and made my way towards my room as I gently put her on the bed, and I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After freshening up, I came downstairs, seeing Sunny spreading Nutella on the bread.

"Made one for me," I told him, he flinches for a moment before nodding.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned, he seems very bothered.

"Yeah, Karan bro, it's just that I didn't get much sleep today, so you know I am quite sleepy and I got an exam today."

I don't know why but I feel like he just lied, I know it's his exam, and he was watching movies with us but that doesn't explain anything to me because he is a clever guy and never worried about either exam or sleep. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Are you sure?" I pushed.

"Yes, Bro, I am fine, here take this." He hands me the bread.

"Should I drop you at college today?"

He looks up at me with a smile, "Sure!"
