Bound by Vows

Chapter-27

Payal’s POV

"I did a mistake to purchase it...the person who wear big brands...will not like my small gift" i thought to

myself while looking at the black shirt i have purchased for him.

Well i didn't planned to buy anything for him. I just went to market in evening for some shopping and

saw this shirt on mannequin. And i liked it soo much that i purchased it.

Actually i was happy with the talk i had with him over the phone and it was in my mind that its his

birthday tomorrow...so without giving much thought i purchased it but now regretting it as its not that

expensive...

I placed it safely in my closet...i won't give it to him...though he is not here...still everyone is doing

preparations...and i am amused to see all this...

I mean who on earth celebrate person's birthday without his presence...but they will do it...and its

actually good...

For preparations they have planned that Mumma will bake the cake which is her speciality and that will

be cut down by our aashi.

My thoughts are interrupted by the barking of milo...

I moved out of closet to see aashi trying to lift milo...i smiled at her attempt.

"Wait baby...i will help" i said and picked up milo and placed him on bed.

"Now you can sit and play with him but not more than half an hour...you have to sleep after that na" i

said

"I will sleep with amu massi today" she announced

"But baby, you always sleep with me na" i said as since the time he left we are sleeping together in his

room.

"No i will sleep with massi only not with you" she said in higher tone.

"Okay" i said...

After sometime she went with amu in guest room and milo is still here on bed looking sleepy. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

I also lay down after changing into nightwear and stroke milo's back...Soon i drifted into my

dreamland...

Kabir’s POV

It’s 2 in the night when I reached home. I had to inform Kunal for my arrival otherwise who would help

me to let me in home without anyone's notice.

Presently waiting on the door to open.

"Happy Birthday bhai" Kunal screamed after opening the door.

"Easy...do you want everyone to wake up at this hour" i said sternly.

"Sorry bro but please leave your arrogance behind for your birthday at least" he complaints.

"Ya whatever" i said entering the home.

"Okay...i am going to sleep...good night" kunal said and moved towards his room.

I climbed up the stairs to go to my room.

I opened the door and moved inside.

FUCK!!!

I said after looking at the bed.

Milo is sitting on my bed looking at me with his puppy eyes. Seriously...who allowed him to sit on my

bed...

Off course your wife...my subconscious said...

I looked at the culprit who was sleeping peacefully. But where is doll?? I expected her to sleep

here...maybe with mom...

I moved near bed and picked up milo to send him off to his bed...

He moved out of the room tailing his tail.

I moved into the washroom and changed into shorts.

Ahh!!! This is heaven...i thought after lying on my bed...

I turned towards her...She is looking beautiful and adorable...

I touched her hair flicks which were troubling her...she stirred in her sleep and i pulled back my hands...

I laid straight and looked at the ceiling.

My thoughts broke when a hand touched my heart...a shiver ran down my body...what was that?

I looked at her she closed the distance between us and hugged me tightly. Don't know what come over

me and i hugged her back with full passion. I again felt that unknown current like last time.

I never felt that even with Sanjana...i did more than just cuddling with her but it was just plain not this

passionate...

Is it like am i attracted to her? No it is not possible??? How could I?

Yes i started to respect her now due to the way she care my family especially doll. I may not have

witnessed it much but tales of it have been reached my ears and i am glad that i agreed to marry her.

I looked at her sleeping face. She is looking cute with a pout and a frown on her face...maybe dreaming

something...

Or more specifically i should say someone...maybe about me...i thought while grinning...

I slowly moved my face down and kissed her forehead. Then moved down to kiss her cheeks one by

one. Her skin is so soft like a butter. And her smell...uff.... it’s addicting...

My gaze fall on her pink soft rosy petals which are begging me to touch them with my rough ones.

I closed the distance and about to taste her but stopped.

What am i doing??? Taking advantage of a sleeping woman...

I removed my hands from her waist and adjusted her on her side of bed. She stirred in her sleep and i

looked up at her face but thankfully she was still sleeping.

I turned my back towards her and slept.

Morning

Payal’s POV

I woke up with a smile on my face.

I stroke aashi's hair with my closed eyes. But a frown made on my face when i felt its quite short as

compared to her long ones.

I opened my one eye and saw a man sleeping naked with his back towards me...

"Ahhhhh" i screamed at top of my voice.

"What???"he woke up with a jolt.

Kabir???

"Kabir???" I voiced my confusion

"No...my ghost!!!"he mocked...

"How could you sleep like that...you scared me" i said placing a hand on my heart...

"What do you mean by sleep like that?? For your kind information, its my room..." He said arrogantly...

With him, his arrogance also come back...i thought in my mind.

"I mean i had no idea about your arrival...and when i opened my eyes, i saw your back and that too

nak... without clothes...i was...i thought..." i stopped midway not understanding how to form in words

what i thought...

"You thought some other man is in my bed" he said in an angry voice.

What's wrong with him? Is he bipolar? What's there in it to get angry?

"Yo--"i was interrupted with the knock on the door.

"Payal beta, are you okay?" Mummy asked knocking the door.

Shit!!! She must have heard my scream.

I got down from the bed and opened the door.

"Yes mummy" i said while opening the door.

"Then why did you screamed?" Papaji asked.

I saw behind her. Everyone is here.

"Vo..." I started.

"Hi mom" someone said behind me...

I looked behind and thankfully he is in his t shirt.

"Duggu" she said excitedly...

I chuckled at his name...i found it funny whenever she called him that...i gave her a space to come

inside.

"When did you came?? You didn't informed anyone about it" she asked and hugged him.

"In late night...i thought to give you all a surprise and kunal helped me to get in" he informed...

"Hmm...great its indeed a very good surprise... happy birthday bacche...may god bless you and give

you all the happiness in this world...may you live long and healthy..."she blessed him

"Bas bas mom...will you give all your blessings to bhai only" divya said behind her.

"You children...i will give you the same wishes on your birthday" she said to divya...

"But mom please add that may god give her husband that much patience to tolerate her tantrums

otherwise god help him only" kunal mocked divya

"Mamma...see how bhai is" divi whined

"Kunal..."mom scold him

"Happy Birthday bhai" divi said hugging Kabir

"Thank you divi" he said hugging her back

"Happy Birthday beta" papaji said but he only nod..

Why so rude response? I thought...

"Okay...you both get ready soon. I will make breakfast ready for all" mom said and exit the room with

papa...

"Bhabhi, but i didn't understand why did you screamed that loud" divi asked confusingly...

"Duffer, offcourse bhabhi couldn't contain her excitement back after seeing bro after so long" kunal

teased while i rolled my eyes...excited and me...for him...no way...

"Ohhooo" divya said stretching her words...

"Daddyyy"aashi screamed entering the room...

"Happy Birthday daddy..."she wished him when he picked her in his arms.

"Thank you doll" he said kissing her cheeks.

"Happy Birthday jiju" amaya said...

When did she came?

"Thank you amaya"he said...

"Daddy you know i made a birthday card for you" she said excitedly

"Ohh really...let me have a look on it"he said sweetly...

"I will but first you get ready...you are smelling bad daddy" she said making yuck face...

"Doll!!! I am not..."he sulked

"Haha...bhai...haha...even a kid can see you have not taken bath yet" kunal laughed first and every one

joined him

"Fu...piss off" he said changing his words

Everyone leave the room while he moved to bathroom

"Baby you got ready for school very early today...that too alone... without mumma's help" i asked aashi

while adjusting her hairs.

"Yaa...massi helped me" she said in a distant voice...

"Baby, are you angry with your mumma. If yes, then i am sorry" i asked kneeling down in front of her

and hold my ears.

"Yes i am agry with you...you didn't told me" she said while i got confused.

"What did i not told you?" I asked her...

"That yo-" she was interrupted with divya's entry...

"Bhabhi...mamma is calling aashi...as it’s her school time...she will get late" divya said...

"Yes you take her. I will come down after getting ready for my college too"i said while getting up.

They walked out of the room.

What was ashi saying? Very wrong timing divya...

I walked into the closet and picked out my clothes for the day. My eyes fall on the shirt i bought...i

picked it out but then kept it back in the closet...

I turned and saw him coming in the closet wrapping the towel around his lower waist.

I looked other side but then remembered i didn't wished him yet...

"Wish you a very happy birthday" i said wishing him...

"Will you wish your husband that plainly" he said while i got confused...

"Plainly??? You mean gift???" I asked him.

He started walking ahead and i looked him in his eyes. Our eyes met and he didn't blink his eyes for a

second...

He came close to me and hugged me tightly.

"What are you doing?" I asked him struggling in his arms.

"I am telling you how to wish your husband" he said.

What is with him and his husband rant...

"Since when you started calling yourself my husband?" I asked him still in his arms.

"Since the time i filled your hairline and tie this in your neck" he said touching my mangalsutra..

I shivered when his fingers touched my neck...

I didn't replied and moved into bathroom to get ready.

After 30 minutes...

I will definitely get late for college today. I am currently standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus to

come.

Its always happens with me... whenever i start late for work from home anyday...that day everything got

delay...

When this bus will come...i think i should hire an auto for today...

I looked around for an auto but stopped when a familiar car stopped in front of the bus stop.

The person rolled down the car window...

"Get in" he said rudely...

"I will go on my own" i said while looking around for any auto...

"Do you want me to create a scene here? I won't mind" he said while i looked around. All are giving

curious looks to the car and the person sitting inside.

"Fine" i said while sitting on the passenger seat.

The car started moving on the road.

"What were you doing here?" He asked me.

"What would a person do at bus stop. Of course waiting for the bus" i said rolling my eyes.

"Don't do that again?" He said confusing me.

"What? Then how i will go to my college? Do you want me to go that far by walking?" I said feeling

annoyed.

"I am talking about rolling your eyes at me" he said while i was shocked. How did he know that? I

looked at his eyes. He is looking ahead...

"I have only two eyes. I can sense what are you doing... that much I got to know about you" he said

again shocking me... Did i said that aloud? No i guess...

But No mr. you don't know me even for 10%. I thought in my mind but stayed quiet...

"And yes that too...you don't have to go your college by public transport. I will arrange a driver and a

car for you who will drop and pick you from your college" he said.

"No...i don't want it" i refused.

"I am not asking your opinion. I am just telling you" he said arrogantly

"But..." I started...

"No but vut...its final...and you have to follow this. And i am doing this for my doll" he said while i got

confused how come aashi come in-between this.

Huh!!! Arrogant Khurana!!! No, it should be Arrogant Duggu Khurana... I chuckled at this thought...

"Why are you laughing?" He asked me.

"Why can't a person laugh without your permission. Is there a tax on laugh also?" I asked mocking him.

"Share with me. I will also laugh" he said while i laughed again.

If i ever tell him that...he will definitely kill me for that...

After that noone said anything...

Then i remembered something...

"Why are being so rude with papaji?" I asked him and felt him stiff beside me.

No reply!!!

"I asked you something...answer it" i asked again.

"I don't want to answer it. So don't ask me again" he said...

"But why? He is too polite and warm person. Above all he is your father. How could you disrespect

him?" I asked him in a higher voice.

"Don't poke your nose in my matters" he said in a very angry tone which he never used on me earlier

but his words angered me more...

"Fine!!! Then don't order me around...i am not your goddamn employee" i said and came out of the car

as we have reached my college.

I closed the door behind me with a thud and entered the college.
