Bound by Vows

Chapter-41

Payal’s POV

It’s been two days since i have seen him...he never crossed path with me after that making me more

guilty...i hope his hand is fine.

I know he comes back home late at night and leave before i even wake up.

Mummy is suspicious of this as she asked me the same in the morning.

"Is everything fine between you two?" She asked me.

"Hmm...yeah..." I said with my head down.

"See Payal, i know my son...he is upset due to some reason which i don’t know...i even asked him but

you know how stubborn he is. And why he is sleeping in his office room from last 2 days" she asked

making me raise my eyes at her.

How does she know about it?

"I have my eyes all around...i just want to say whatever it is, talk with him...you know what beta, you

won't even realise when your small distancing with your partner become too big that it will be hard for

you two to mend that...and i am saying this from personal experience" she said thinking something.

"And any relationship can be successful only when you share your thoughts with your partner...

communication gap will only distance you with him" She advised while i nod.

"Yes mummy, i will try" i said smiling a bit.

"Mummy can i go to meet my ma today? I will come in evening." I asked her suddenly.

"What's the need to ask? You can go whenever you want" she said.

"Thank you mummy...i will take aashi with me" i said.

"Massiii" ashi shout as soon as we reach my house

"Cutiepiee, what a surprise" amu said with a smile

"Namaste ma, how are you?" I asked hugging her

"I am good but you're not...what happened?" She asked.

A traitor tear rolled out of my eye...

"Payu, child what happened? You're giving me tension. Lets go to my room..." she said

"Now tell me" she asked once we settled down on bed.

"Vo...vo...kabir..." I said.

"What happened to Kabir? Is he okay?" She asked.

"Yes he is fine...i had a fight with him and he is not talking with me" i said with a sad face.

"And may i know what mean words you told him?" She asked me with narrowed eyes.

"Maa how can you think that i would be mean to him" i asked with raised eyes.

"I know you very well Payal. You're sweet and caring but when you have to make your point clear, you

may go to any extent even hurting your loved one" she state the fact.

"I didn't meant to hurt him but he was asking something for which i was not ready" i said with my head

down.

"And i know it must be because of Avi. Right?" She asked while i raised my head to look into her eyes

which were glossy by now.

I stayed silent as i don't want to agree on it

"Payal how many times should i tell you that you have to walk out from your past. You cannot live in the

past for your whole life" she said.

"But ma, how can i forget my promise i made" i said.

"You really think he would be happy to see you like this...he loved you with all his heart Payal and he

always wanted you to stay happy. Be it with him or someone else" she said while more tears rolled out

of our eyes.

"What should i do ma? I am soo confused." I state my confusion

"You should give Kabir a chance. He is a nice man with a golden heart. I can assure you this from what

i have observed" she said with a smile

Yes i know he is a nice man but my insecurities overpowers everything

"Yes ma, you're right. I think i should give my life a chance...i want to smile my heart out, i want

someone to love me, to cherish me and for that i want to give kabir a chance" i said with a smile.

"Thats like my daughter" she said while hugging me.

I made my mind to talk with him once i go back to home.

We reached home at dinner time after spending our day at ma's house.

It was very refreshing to go there and cleared my confusion too what i want from my life

"Mummy, is he back?" I asked her as soon as i reached home.

I am eagerly waiting to talk with him

"Who he??" She asked teasingly.

"Mummy, you know whom i am talking about?" I said with a blush.

"Accha...yes, kunal is in his room. You can meet him...he was also missing his bhabhi" she said while i

wanted to roll my eyes.

"Uff mummy, i am talking about your other son, my husband, ashi's father...Mr. Duggu Khurana...is he

back?" I asked irritatedly.

She chuckled loudly making me realise what i said

Shit!!! Embarrassing much!!!

"You're soo cute" she said pinching my cheeks.

"Well for your information, he is not back and he called me to let us know that he will be coming late."

She said.

"Ohh" i said

I will have to wait more.

1:30 A.M

I am waiting for him. To kill my boredom, i am reading novel

Please come soon!!! I thought while my eyes started to shut down

Kabir's POV

I entered my room after a hectic day...its 2:10 a.m.

My eyes fall on certain someone whom i am avoiding from last few days.

I sat beside her and pushed her hairs behind her ears....she stirred in her sleep.

My head started descending to her face but stopped before my lips touch her forehead.

I know you are only craving for my body.

I pulled myself back from her and walked into washroom.

I thought about that night while standing in shower.

Did she really think like this? That i am craving for her body...were my intentions not clear to her...did i

lack behind to convey my feelings to her.

I would have understand her if she told me that she needs time but she went on accusation. It hurt me

like hell...thats why i have decided to never cross her path again.

She is just a girl who entered my life just 3.5 months ago...though it will be difficult for me to ignore her

considering the fact we practically live in same roof.

But i will try as much as i can. Afterall nothing is impossible for Kabir Khurana.

What hurt me more that she never tried to apologise or even told me her feelings. I would have

understand her but no she has bigger ego...let it be...i am not that desperate to be with her.

After getting into my nightwear, i walked to my office room to sleep not before glancing at her for last

time.

Afterall it is the only time when i am able to see her.

Payal's POV

Oh shit!!! I looked at the time...its 7:00...i slept before he come back...i missed my chance to talk with

him. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

I hurriedly went downstairs to meet him.

"What happened Payal? Why are you running?" Mummy asked as soon as I reached downstairs.

"Mummy...vo..he" i asked while taking a deep breath as i climb down the staircase fastly

"He left few minutes back. I don't know what has gotten into him. He didn't even had his breakfast. Told

me he has an important meeting will eat in office." She said sadly.

"Mummy, i will take his breakfast with me. Give me half an hour, i will just get ready" i said.

"Okay...sure, i bet you're very eager to talk with him considering the fact you forget in what state you

are" she said teasingly.

I looked down only to see myself in my bunny pyjamas.

Shit!!! How many times i will embarrass myself because of you... Mr Duggu Khurana.

I passed my bright smile to Pooja when i reached his office.

"Good morning Mam" Pooja said with a smile.

"Morning Pooja...how are you?" I asked her with a smile.

"I am good mam...thank you" she said.

"Can i meet kabir?" I asked politely.

"Mam, i am noone to stop you from meeting your husband" she said shyly.

"Yeah... husband" i muttered.

I walked out of the lift only to see Lisa sitting on her desk.

I ignored her to go to his cabin. But how can she stay quiet.

"You cannot go inside" she said while standing up.

"Don't you love your job?" I asked raising my brows.

"Huhh?? What do you mean?" She asked.

"I mean you are stopping me, your boss's wife for the second time in just two days" i said raising my

eyes.

"I did not mean to stop you but he is not there in his cabin. He told me not to disturb him as he is not

well..." she informed while I am shocked to know that she is being polite with me.

Not bad!!!

"What happened to him and where is he?" I asked her.

I am such a bad wife. I didn't even knew that my husband is not well.

"Actually he met with a small accident while coming to office. And right now he is in conference hall

having his..." She said but i didn't listen more.

My heart stopped when i hear the word accident.

"Where is conference hall?" I asked her panic.

"That way...but you can't go there...there is meet-" she said but i ignored her running towards

conference hall.

In two minutes, tears started to roll down...i hope he is fine.

"Kabir" i said as soon as i open the door of conference hall.

His eyes turned towards me and i can see he was annoyed because of disturbance.

Soon surprise look came on his face.

"Payal?" He murmured.

I enter into the room and hurriedly ran towards him to hug him.

"Are you okay?" I asked hugging him tightly.

Thank god!!! He is safe and fine.

"Everyone out" he said while i got confused what he is saying.

I looked into his eyes after detaching myself only to find him glaring in front.

I looked in that direction only to find more than 20 people were sitting there looking at us with wide

eyes.

Shit!!! He was in the middle of the meeting and i did big blunder by hugging infront of many people.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me in anger once everyone walked out of the room leaving us

alone.

Payal beta, be ready to tame this angry lion...i will have to do lot of struggle.

"Are you okay?" I asked ignoring his question.

"Its none of your business" he shouts.

"Why its not my business? You are my husband. So its my right to know how my husband is doing" i

said.

"Ohh really?" He mocked going out of the conference room.

"Lisa, tell everyone...we will resume meeting post lunch" he announced while we reached corridor.

"Yes sir" lisa announced and walked to her desk.

"Kabir, please listen to me" i said holding his hand.

"Please payal, leave...its my god damn office not our bedroom...i don't want to give my employees free

entertainment" he whisper yelled at me.

I flinched back and he walked in his cabin.

I looked at my right where lisa was standing having a smirk on her face.

And its clear she listened everything. I so wanted to punch her but again its not her mistake.

I picked up my bag which i dropped earlier on sofa and went into the cabin without knock.

"Lisa, i told yo-..." He stopped when he saw me.

"I told you to leave...then why are you irritating me" he said showing his anger to me.

"I brought your breakfast...come have your food first...then we will discuss" i said and walked to the

side table to arrange the food.

He didn't said anything for few seconds... i set his plate with a glass of juice.

"There is nothing left to discuss. Kindly leave." He said in irritation now standing behind me.

Be positive Payal, he will not eat you...my mind said when i thought to leave.

"There is a lot...you should eat first" i said composing myself without turning around.

"Why are you not understanding? I don't want to eat your god damn food" he screamed turning me

around by holding my arm.

"Ohho patidev...why are you shouting on me in early morning..."i said composing myself though

internally i am scared of his angry mode.

"What is this with your husband, patidev and all?? If you forget i am nobody to you" he said showing his

finger to me but my eyes travelled to the bandage on his hand.

"Is it hurting much?" I asked examining the wound while holding his hand.

"Don't touch me. I know you only crave for my body" he said repeating my words while withdrawing his

hand.

"I am sorry for that" i said with my head down.

"O no...don't be sorry...afterall whatever happened between us, was a mistake..." He said walking back

to his seat.

I realised now i have messed up big this time.

I took the plate in my hand and kept it infront of him after snatching the file from his hand.

"What the" he shout.

"Eat" i said sternly.

He looked towards me with raised eyebrows.

"I guess you have some hearing issues. I said eat" i again this time picking the sandwich in my hand.

He turned his head to the right ignoring me... I kept the sandwich back in the plate.

"Uff...ashi is much better than you... atleast she doesn’t throw that much of tantrum unlike you" i said

rolling my eyes.

He didn't reacted on it and what i did next never expected would do it myself.
