A promise: That changed my life

chapter 13: Shirt

Siya

When we arrived home, I decided to take a bath first and I ran upstairs, after taking the shower, I wore my pajamas and came out of the bathroom, finding Karan packing the suitcases. Hearing the bathroom door shut, his head swift towards me.

"You are home." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"You are home." We both spoke at the same time, making the statement sound like an echo around the room.

"Yes, I came back home early to pack our bags, and what about you?" He responded first.

"I came half an hour ago and was taking shower, so where are we going?" I questioned.

"Ohh, I didn't notice you, anyway we are going to Bangalore for some company related-work." He answered.

"Okay."

The last time when we spoke it didn't go well. Is he still upset with me?

"I packed our clothes and we have a flight in the evening so take some rest till then." He added, closing the zips of the bags.

"Thanks," I said, and he left, not saying anything back. He seems like he is upset, Sighing, I made my way over the couch as sleep soon blurred my eyes.

I woke up with the voice of Karan and Maa sa talking loudly, more likely arguing about something, I quickly rushed to the living room to see what was wrong.

"Karan, try to understand, I am okay and your work is important-" Karan cuts her off.

"Maa, I am not going anywhere and that's final, how many times should I have to remind you that nothing is more important to me than you!" He yells back with frustration that for a moment scared me.

"Karan," she was about to reply to him before her eyes turned to me, "Dear, thank God, you came at the right time, explain something to Karan."

Karan stopped me even before I began, "Adah, don't you dare try to explain anything to me, I have made up my mind already."

"Okay, Karan sa but can anyone explain to me what this argument is about?" I ask, they shoot me a glance with annoyance roaming over their faces as Karan starts to speak.

"Maa has cancer of the last stage, she has vomited blood several times yet she even refused to seek any medical help so how can I go to Bangalore leaving her in this state?!" He specified, furiously.

"Maa sa, Karan sa is right, I agree with him, we can't leave you like this," I said, he smiled at my words whereas Maa sa flashed me a glare.

"You both are not understanding." She trails.

"And I also think the same," Thakur sa spoke, crossing his hands over his chest.

"Dad-" he cuts him off, raising his hand to stop him.

"No Karan, your mother is right here, and come to talk about her health, we will look after her, think about your sister Rhea, she needs help in managing the company there."

I swear I saw Karan cursing under his breath, hiding the disappointment he got by his dad's statement.

"Yes, Karan bro, I will take care of Mom, you both should leave, your flight is in an hour," Kaya spoke.

He annoyingly yet thoughtfully glances at them and sighed defeated, "But, if anything happens I will quickly return home not caring about any work doesn't matter how important it is." He states as Maa sa flashed him a grin.

We touched down in Bangalore late at night, and during the entire trip, he didn't utter a word to me neither did I get any courage to ask him anything, I can feel that he is preparing himself mentally to face Rhea already. I am wondering what the matter is between them?

The taxi driver helped Karan by putting the bags in the backseat as we sat down, "You both seem to be new here." Driver spoke, glancing at us through the rearview mirror.

"Yes." That was all Karan replied.

"Then, if you want I can stop at some restaurant." He says.

Karen thought for a moment, "Are you hungry?" He asks me in a hushed tone.

"Yeah, a bit," I replied, nervously.

"Take us to a nice restaurant then," Karan ordered him.

"Yes, sir." He says, pulling over the taxi near the local restaurant and bars then the 5-star, "It's a bit old but they got more tasty food than others." He explains, insisting on us.

Karan didn't come off to like it but he thought to try it anyway, after all, it was almost midnight and he was in no mood to argue with the driver.

Karan told him to wait until we came back as we both went inside.

"I think the driver didn't recognize you," I mumbled to him, a matter of fact that if he had recognized Karan then he wouldn't have taken us here in the first place.

"The fewer people know me, the better it is for us. " He replies, shortly.

He pulled a chair for me, which I gladly accepted as he sat down in front of me as a waiter handed us the menu, we ordered our food and as it came, I began to eat but Karan was busy on his phone.

"Karan sa, food is getting cold," I told him. He simply nodded, putting the phone aside, as our dinner ended, we both returned to the taxi.

"So, food was tasty, right?" The driver asks, smirking like he already knows what we will say.

"Yes, it was nice," Karan replied.

We arrived at the row house, and the street lights were off, the darkness was sending a shiver in my skin, Karan pulled out our bags from the taxi and we walked inside, after paying the money to him.

Turning on the lights, I realized how beautiful the house was, completely stunning with the modern furniture and designs.

"If you want you can change it." He said, I nodded and walked upstairs to our room.

After taking the bath, I wrapped myself with a towel and opened the bags, finding that they are filled only with my out-going clothes which are way too uncomfortable to wear for sleep.

Karan

It's almost been an hour and I think Adah must have freshened up, it is late so I better take a short shower too and hit the bed.

I knocked a couple of times but I got no reply from inside, so I thought she must be asleep, I pushed the door open, discovering her in a short towel that too from her backside, I tried to avert my gaze and I couldn't help but notice the thing I shouldn't, her hips curves were easily visible because her towel was a bit up. For a sec, I felt like just staring at her there.

Karan….Stop it!

She was busy finding something in her bag that she didn't realize my presence and the mess she has created in the room.

Controlling myself, I closed the eyes and faked a cough to get her attention, "W-what are you finding?" I don't know why I stuttered.

Her body stiffened as she jerked up, clutching the towel to her breast while facing me as she heard my voice. Water droplets were still on her body and her wet hair was beautifully resting on her big breast curves, her pale long legs were looking like that she just bathed with Milk instead of water that gave my mind some dirty thoughts again.

"I-I was finding some comfortable clothes to wear." She suffers too. I realized that the bag she was finding was just filled with day clothes.

"Our night clothes are in another one," I told her.

"Which one?" She asks, looking back at the mess. I was about to reply to her when I saw that we have only two suitcases here instead of 3.

"Shit, we forget the third one in the taxi, I guess."

"Now, what?"

"Wear any of my shirts for now, " I replied, turning away to get my phone to call that taxi driver.

After I notified the driver that we had forgotten one of our bags in his taxi, he quickly apologized and said that he will return it in the morning cause he's already moved far.

I returned to the room, she was in my white shirt which is my favorite one, her body was almost transparent in that, her rosy nipples were apparent enough and it was barely covering her butt that I can see her pink panty too.

She leaned down to clean up when I stopped her, I think she has planned to kill me with her sexy looks tonight. "I will clean it up, you can rest," I told her.

She blushed, staring at the floor, replying, "No, it's fine, Karan sa, I will do it."

"Just do as I said!" I yelled out, making her flinch.

She nodded and went towards the couch, "You don't have to sleep on the couch anymore." I said.

She looks at me, confused, "Why?"

"You can sleep on the bed of another room since Maa is not here to see." I clarify and it will be better for her anyway if she stays away from me tonight or else I will end up doing something which I will regret later.

"Right." She says, making her way out.
