Bound by Vows novel Chapter 21

Payal’s POV

We entered the area while I keep my head quite low.

It will be really awkward. I will kill this ARROGANT KHURANA for not informing me beforehand.

"Welcome Mr. Khurana. I am really glad you came in the party" one man around 40 yrs came in our way.

"I had to come Mr. Talwar. After all we are old friends" mr arrogant said while shaking his hand with Mr. Talwar.

"And who is this pretty lady beside you?" He asked pointing me

"She is my wife, Payal" He said while introducing me.

Wife!!! It feels alien from his mouth...

"Wife??? I didn't knew you got married" he said surprisingly.

"Yeah, we got married in a closed ceremony. So many people are not aware of" Kabir informed him.

"Welcome Mrs. Khurana. Enjoy the party" he said while i smiled at him.

Then we entered in the party.

Loud music, people dancing and drinking going on all around. I looked at everyone to see anyone wearing saree.

It would atleast give me satisfaction that i am not odd one out but didn't found anyone.

Every girl is in short dresses while i am in freaking saree. Now i am really embarrassed and nervous.

Many people are looking at me with an amused face. And why wouldn't they, as i am not matching with the theme of the party.

I looked at my side to see the person who is responsible for this state of mine but he is nowhere to be seen.

Wow, nice!!! Why am i even in this party???

I looked around to find any corner. I will be better to spend my night like this without getting noticed by anyone else.

I found one and moved towards that side. I sat down on the sofa while looking around for any known face.

But how would I find anyone familiar here.

My gaze fall on him who is standing on the other side of the pool talking with some people having drink in his hand.

Why did he even brought me here??? At least he should have some decency to be with me all the time as i don't know anyone here.

Hope this time pass on soon.

"Hey, we meet again" someone said from beside me.

I looked at the intruder. Not again!!!

"Didn't you found your husband yet???"He asked while sitting beside me closely.

I moved towards other side of sofa but there is no space...

"No, he is here only" i tried to make him understand i am not interested

"Why would anyone leave such a beautiful wife alone. Come, lets dance" he said while trying to hold my hand.

I immediately stood from my place and said "i am not interested"

"Oh come on...don’t act to be shy... it’s just a dance. We will enjoy" he said while getting up and coming closer.

Oh godd!!!

I turned around and looked for Kabir where he was previously standing but couldn't find him.

"Lets go, come on" he said while grabbing my hand.

"Leave me you bastard" i tried to loosen my grip from him and looked around for someone for help. But as i am in a corner and music is loud, noone is looking at my side.

I have to do something. I relaxed myself and kicked him on his...u can understand where.

He immediately loosen my grip and hold his effected area while crying in pain.

Serves him right!!!

"Fuck...bitch...i will not leave you...you will regret this" he muttered while i ran towards other side.

I looked behind to check if he is following me or not but collided with someone.

"Are you mad" a girl shouted while i looked in front.

Her dress got spoiled due to spilling of her drink.

Shit!!! Can any day be this worse than this...

"I am sorry" i apologise because it’s my mistake.

"Sorry my foot. You spoiled my expensive dress. Will you pay for it?" She asked arrogantly.

"See mam, i am really sorry...i was not looking ahead...and collided with you...it was purely accident" i clarified while she looked fuming in anger.

"Cheap people. How are you even in this party. I don't think so that mr. Talwar would invite such cheapsters in his party who don't have any class and don't know what to wear" she said while looking at me up and down.

I am now fuming in anger. How can she called me like this.

"Excuse me whom you called cheap? At least i am wearing decent clothes unlike someone who don't have decency to cover herself properly" i said while indicating her.

I never judge someone from their clothes but she has crossed limit by calling me cheap.

"How dare yo-" she said while raising her hand to slap me but her hand struck in middle due to the tight hold of someone.

And that someone is not me...But Mr. arrogant.

"Don't you dare to do that" he said angrily to her while i am shocked.

He is taking my side. My?? Seriously?

"But you don't know what she did, Kabir" she said while i looked at her.

She knows him???

"Whatever she did...you don't have any right to raise your hand on her" he said

"You are taking her side instead of mine. You are warning me for this cheap and undi-" she said

"Enough. Don't you dare to say a word against her" he screamed at her while i am watching the drama with shocking face.

What is going on??

"Why are you so concerned about her Kabir??? Is she your new flavour of the month" she said while eyeing me with an evil face.

I am not getting good vibes from her.

"Shut up... Don't utter a disgusting word for her from your gutter mouth" he said angrily while i am shocked with big eyes looking at him and her smirked face fell down.

"Why are you so concerned for this bitc-" she was cutted again by him.

"Don't you dare to call my WIFE with that word" he said while her face again fall with this revelation.

But why she is so surprised??

"Wife???" She asked him again.

"Yes wife... My beautiful wife Payal" he said introducing me while placing his hands on my waist and pulling me towards his chest.

What is with this fakeness? I looked questionably towards him while he smiled at me.

SMILE??? How many more surprises are left for this day???

Before closing my eyes completely, i felt a hand on my waist.

Kabir’s POV

It’s been a long time since she left for washroom. I am continuously looking at entry side maybe i will be able to see her when she enter.

I don't want her to get in any trouble as i know Sanjana is here and she will not leave any chance to insult her and now she knows Payal is my wife, sanjana will not leave any chance to embarrassed her.

"Hello Mr. Khurana" one business associate interrupted me.

After talking with him, i again look for certain someone in white Saree.

When i first looked her today, i forgot to breath for a second. She was looking beautiful and sexy. Then i realised my mistake not to inform her about the theme of the party.

Fuck!!! She will kill me for sure...

When we entered in the party, i saw some of my important clients and i moved to them.

When i finished talking, i searched for her and found her arguing with Sanjana.

And that bitch raised her hand to slap her but before she could do that i interfered and stopped her.

My thoughts broke with a thud sound. I looked towards the source and saw someone fall in the swimming pool.

But noone jumped into water to save the person. Therefore, i jumped immediately after removing my coat.

I swam down in the water and picked the person through the grip on waist.

I swim and came out of the water while looking at the person.

Fuck!!!

Payal??? I picked her up in bridal style and moved out of the water.

"Payal" i patted on her cheeks but she is not opening her eyes.

I pushed pressure on her chest and she started coughing out the water.

"Payal, you okay?" I asked when she opened her eyes.

Payal’s POV

"Payal, you okay?" Someone asked when i gained my consciousness back.

I focused and looked at the person.

"Kabir???" I asked.

"Yes, you okay???" He asked while i tried to get up. He helped me while i looked down at my state.

Because of water, i am fully wet and my saree is now see-through and got transparent due to net saree.

I looked around, people are all around and looking at me.

I immediately hugged Kabir to save my modesty from others stare. He froze with my action but then round his arms around me.

He might have understood because then told me to wear his coat.

I wear it and tried to stand up while i am feeling dizzy now may be due to drowning.

I lost my balance but he hold me and asked "are you okay??"

"I a...am feee....feellling....dii...dizzzy" i said while slurring.

"FUCK" he said while i chuckled. He uses this word too often.

"What did you drink???"he asked while my head is spinning....

What is happening to me???? Last thing i remember before loosing my mind is i was in his arms while he was moving out of the party with me in his arms in bridal style...
