Bound by Vows

Chapter-37

Payal’s POV

"I said turn around. Let me help you" he said

"No no its not needed...you have already checked the dress...i will change it now" i said hurriedly trying

to avoid the situation.

But he hold my arms and turned me around.

I felt his fingers on my dress... He ran his fingers on my bare back due to which i shivered.

Slowly he zipped my dress.

"Its done. Now show me" he said turning me towards him.

"Beautiful" he said while i felt my cheeks hot.

"Okay...you change it...i will wait outside" he said tried to open the door but i stopped him.

"Hmm...help me" i said sheepishly while turning around so that he could unzip it.

He came closer this time more closer than before...

His hot breath is fanning on my neck.

I felt his lips on my neck kissing me.

"What are yo-" i tried to say but he stopped me.

"Shh" he said.

He smooches my skin while i closed my eyes and grab his hand which is on my stomach.

I wanted to Stop him but still wanting to continue what he is doing.

What is happening with me.

He stopped when we heard a knock on door.

"Fuck" he cursed and hurriedly unzipped my dress and walked out of the trial room.

I hurriedly lock it again and changed into my older clothes...

Shit!!! We were making out in fudging trial room...my cheeks got red due to embarrassment...

Once doing payment for the dresses, we walked out. Well he purchased all 3 dresses.

"Mumma, ice cream" aashi demanded once we picked her up from gaming section.

"Lets go to foodcourt" kabir said while i nod.

Once seated...we decided our menu...

Kabir got a call so I decided to go and order.

While in the que for my chance, someone said something...

"Not again" i turned to see danush.

"Hi danush...what a coincidence? What are you doing here?" I asked after hugging him.

"I had a meeting here. Just going back to office" he said while i nod.

"Well you don't have a time to even meet once" he taunts.

"Sorry buddy, quite busy in life these days...will definitely catch up with you one day" i said.

"Hmm" he said.

"Why don't you join me? Meet kabir and my daughter aashi" i said.

"You have a daughter? How old she is? I never knew you were pregnant?" He asked surprisingly.

"Yeah, she is 3.5 yrs old and i was not pregnant...she is kabir's daughter and mine too" i said with a

smile.

"What has happened in your life payal? I am so confused? Will you explain me?" He asked.

"Not now...maybe later" i turned down his request.

"Okay...i shall take a leave now. And yes i forgot to mention i have a house warming party in next week.

You have to come and i will call you for details later. Do come with your husband and daughter" he

invited.

"Yes sure." I said with a smile.

"Okay...i will leave now...by the way look at your right...your husband is shooting daggers at us" he said

laughing loudly.

I looked and yes definitely he was doing it. But when our eyes met, he focused on his phone.

I walked with our order to the table.

"Well, green is everywhere these days...don’t you think so?" I asked him after sometime when he didn't

said anything for a while.

"Huhh?" He asked innocently as if not getting what i am hinting at.

"See green chilli, green cabbage...green lights... everything is soo green here" i said indirectly hinting to

his jealousy, if any.

"True... everything is soo green...and you know what i can see beyond green too...what is outside as

well as inside...like right now you have black" he said with a smirk eyeing below my face.

I got conscious and adjust my green dupatta. Is he referring black to my bra which i am wearing right

now.

But how did he knew it??? Ohho idiot!!! He must seen that when he was helping you.

"What happen? Cat hold your tongue now? Someone was doing green very much" he said.

"Shut up!!!" I said embarrassingly.

This is called "hit your head with a hammer"

"Aashi have you finished your ice cream" i asked her to divert the topic.

"No mumma" she said.

After sometime, i found him busy in his phone.

His hair falling on his forehead making him look more handsome...but why his face is looking soo

familiar in this angle.

"Did we met before?" I asked him.

He raised his head with a smirk on his face.

"Have you hitted your head somewhere? What type of stupid question is this?" He asked

"I mean before our first meeting in the restaurant" i clarify.

He looked me for sometime as if judging something

"No" he denied.

"Hmm" i nodded.

Present Day

I am in the closet cleaning my wardrobe as it was really messy...i found his shirt in between my clothes.

It must be the deed of mita di. She must have mistakenly put it along with my clothes.

So, i picked that and walked to his wardrobe.

He is too clean freak which can be judged from his wardrobe. Everything is placed perfectly at their

place.

I put his shirt and about to close the shelf but found a box inside. Curiosity in me to see what is there in

it compelled me to open it and know the content.

I pick up the box in my hand. Its very beautiful but has number lock password.

This is wrong to invade someone's privacy. But you're only seeing your husband's things and its your

room too...right? So, you have right over it also...my subconscious told me.

I think for the possible password.

I first put his date of birth which showed only 2 attempts left.

It must be aashi dob...but it was incorrect...uff...only one attempt left.

Now i am short of ideas...what it could be.

I thought to drop the idea and put the box at its place. Then something strike me...though i know i must

be wrong but then curiosity in me told me to try for last time.

I put the combination and it got unlocked. To say i am shocked would be an understatement. Its our

date of marriage.

Well i looked the content in it...there were some old pics of aashi...

I sat on the couch and looked other contents...

Its a small gold bangle...must be aashi's...and a cute pair of socks...

Oh my god!!! Did he kept all these for memories...its kind of cute...

I peeked inside and found an anklet...what is it doing in it? Its definitely not aashi's looking at the size.

Is it Sanjana's? My mood got sour at this thought...

On close inspection, i found it very much familiar...

Is it mine?

I walked to my closet and opened my box where exact anklet was kept...tears dwells in my eyes as i

found my lost anklet...

I remember i lost it in my college trip to goa...

I was searching for it madly considering the fact it is the last memory of my...

"What are you doing here?" Kabir's voice brought me out of my thoughts...

I immediately turned and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you thank you soo much...you don't know what you have done for me" i said while sobbing.

"Hey what has happened? Why are you crying?" He asked me and tighten his grip around me.

I am feeling safe in his arms... like my heart knows this is where i belong

No...what i am thinking.

I immediately distance myself from him.

"Why are you crying?" He asked me.

"Where did you found it?" I asked him in a hoarse voice showing the anklet.

"Hmm...at the beach in goa" he said.

"What? How could you pick up others things lying on road." I asked him.

"It was a beach not road" he mocked.

"Its the same thing. Now will you tell me" i said.

"What you want to know?" He asked.

"How did you found it?" I asked him

"Well you remember, few days back you asked me did we meet before or not?" He asked me.

"Hmm" i said nodding.

"Well we actually do...four years back in goa...at beach when a thorn pierced your skin" he said

confusing me.

"Ho-w?" I asked stammering without forming a proper question.

"The guy who helped you there is here infront of you" he said with a smirk.

What??? That gentleman whom i met years back is him?

I remember i was not able to forget that person. Tall figure, dominating yet soft voice which made me

allow him to touch my feet. I was cursing myself for few days for not asking his name.

Yes, i was carefree and bold in nature that time. So it was not a big deal for me to ask any guy his

name but i was in hurry that time as we had to return to Bangalore that day

"Where are you lost?" He asked making me startled for a second

"Nowhere. Thank you for that day" i said genuinely

"Hmm. But why these big tears" he asked wiping the tears from my cheeks.

I closed my eyes for a second to decide whether i should tell him or not? Well i can, there is no harm in

telling him. One or another day he will be known to all the facts of my life.

"Payal, come back on earth" he said caressing my cheeks.

I looked into his eyes who were looking at me intensely. Something is changed from past few days...he

become very caring, soft spoken and responsible towards me. I don't know what has changed between

us but i am liking this phase of my life...

"This anklet is very special for me as...it belongs to my mother..." i said while a lump formed in my

throat ready to break me in tears.

He gave me confused look and said "okay...but what's with your crying? You can meet her anytime."

Why he is saying this like he doesn't know anything?I have already mentioned everything in my letter.

"I have already told you about this in the letter. Isn't?" I asked him.

"What letter?" He asked confusingly.

"Which i..." I stopped as his phone started ringing.

"Yes... okay...coming" he said.

Uff!!! His work...i hate this!!!

"I am leaving" he said hurriedly

"But that lett-" my voice stopped in middle as he went out of the room.

Did he ever read my letter? Did kunal gave my letter to him? I cannot imagine if he agreed to this

marriage without knowing my past. I shiver at this thought

I have to confirm it from Kunal.

"Yes bhabhi, i had passed on your letter to bhai that day only" he confirmed when i questioned him...

I couldn't restrict myself and came to his room after spending few hours in thinking.

"Ohh... okay!!!" I said relaxing myself.

"Is everything okay bhabhi? Suddenly you're asking this after so many months..." Kunal questioned

"No no...i was just asking...nothing to worry" i said with a smile

"You know bhabhi, i am always with you whenever you need anything just order me, this hot and

handsome brother of yours will be present in your service" he said with a naughty smirk.

I saw traits of Kabir in him...well it would be afterall they are brothers.

"Thank you" i said emotionally as he has become like my younger brother whom i miss a lot.

I hugged him lightly in affection. He also hugged me lightly.

"Hey bhabhs, i know i am hot but you don't need to be smitten all over me" he said teasingly Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I smacked him on his arm.

"Idiot" i said still hugging him

"Ahem...ahem.." Our conversation came to a halt when someone cleared his throat

I turned around only to see my husband at the door.

I looked towards Kunal who has his arms around me giving a teasing smile to Kabir but why?
