Bound by Vows novel Chapter 28

Payal’s POV

I was getting ready. We, as in whole family are going to the restaurant for his birthday.

"I knew it" Divya said entering the room with amu.

"What?" I asked.

"This" she said pointing to the saree i am wearing.

"Is it not good? Should i change into another one?" I said looking down at printed saree I wore.

According to me its fine...

"Saree is good di but not for this occasion" amu said while i gave them confused look.

"Bhabhi, its bhai's birthday. So wear something hot and sexy" divi said...

"Diviii...no way...i am good in these clothes" i said refusing them.

"No. you're wearing this.its final...i knew you must not have western clothes...so i brought mine for you..."she said showing me the dress which i didn't saw earlier in her hand.

"No divi...i can't" i said still refusing..

"See i told you na divya, di would never agree to it..." Amu said making faces...

"I swear bhabhi, it’s brand new piece...i have not wear it for even once" divya said...

"Its not the case divi...i don't have any issue wearing your clothes" i said assuring her.

"Then what?" Divi asked...

"I have left wearing these types of clothes years back...and secondly mumma and papa would also be present there...how can i" i said stating my reasons.

"Ohho bhabhi!!! We are not that narrow minded...mom dad consider you as their daughter...when they can allow me then why not you" divya said...

"And di you should start wearing these clothes again...when there is jiju with you then why to fear" amu said knowing my reasons well.

"But still" i said...

"No!!! I am not listening anything... please bhabhi...for us... please" divya requested...

"Okay...fine...now don't make such faces in front of me" i said while laughing...

"Yipee" They both hi-fives amusing me with their childishness.

"Okay di, you get ready. We will meet you downstairs" amu said while i nodded.

I hope i would look fine in this blue colour one piece.

After half an hour

I walked down the stairs to find the floor empty.

Where is everyone??? I thought...

"Mita di, where is everyone?" I asked the maid.

"Everyone left" she said shocking me.

They left without me. How will i go then.

I came out to the living room and started calling amu.

"Amu how can left me here alone? Now how will i come there?" I asked her as soon as she picked up.

"Ohho di, relax....jiju is still there...you come with him okay... aunty told us that you will come with jiju...and aashi is also with us" she informed.

"Okay fine!!!" I said and hung up the call.

Oh no!!! I will have to bear his presence alone during the whole ride. I am still angry with him due to morning happenings.

But where is he? I didn't saw him yet. I turned and saw him descending down from the stairs.

And what shocked me that he is wearing the same black shirt i brought for him.

How? How did he found it? I kept it in my closet.

Kabir’s POV

I stepped inside my room to get ready for the dinner.

When i came back from office, i met everyone downstairs.

Mom told me to come after getting ready. They are leaving and Payal will come with me.

I looked around my room but its empty.

Where is she?

Is she still upset due to morning happening. Well i didn't wanted to scream at her but i didn't want to discuss dad's issue with her, infact with anyone.

That is a sore topic for me and mention of it with anyone rage me.

Sound of water confirmed me she is in washroom. I walked in the closet looking for clothes to wear.

I picked out the clothes but my gaze fall on a shirt lying on the floor.

I picked it up and saw its new piece looking at the packing. But i don't remember purchasing it. Looking at the brand i know it’s not that expensive.

Did she brought it for me? A small smile came on my face. This is the second gift i got for my birthday. First was doll's card.

I decided to wear this shirt.

Why? To impress her? My subconscious asked. To which i shut it up.

After getting ready i descended down the stairs but stopped when i saw her.

She is looking hot and sexy like hell.

"Shall we leave now" she asked breaking my trance.

"Huh!! Ye...yes" i said clearing my voice.

We moved out of the house and sat in my car.

She sat at passenger seat and my thoughts moved to morning.

As usual i was going to office but my eyes fall on the familiar figure standing at bus stop.

What is she doing here? Does she go to her college by public transport.

Its look like yes. I told her to sit in the car but she refused as usual.

But when i threatened her, she agreed.

Later on, i instructed her to go by car daily. Its actually my fault I never gave a thought to it but later than never.

Focusing on present, i saw her focus on her mobile phone while a frown appeared on her face.

I wanted to look into her mobile what she is seeing but it may lead to accident as i am driving.

But i am not liking this silence. To divert her mind i started talking.

"I wouldn't have mind it if you gave it to me directly" i said successfully gaining her attention towards me.

She gave me a confused look.

"You know what i am talking about" i said.

"No i don't" she said something for the first time in last 15 minutes.

I pointed out my shirt to let her know what i am talking about.

"Ya... whatever" she said ignoring me.

Seriously Kabir someone is ignoring you. How could you let that happen.

"I asked you something" i said again.

"I also asked you something in the morning. Did you answer me that. No na...then why you expect me to answer you anything" she said in a sweetest voice.

"See i know you're angry on me due to morning happening but that topic is touchy for me and I don't like if someone questions me about that" i explained myself to someone for the first time.

"But if you share with someone, maybe they could help you in that matter" she voiced her opinion.

"I don't need your help in that and can you please leave that matter" i asked her as i don't want to spoil my mood.

"Okay fine...i won't ask you anything about that now" she said which i really appreciate.

"Now back to my question" i said smirking...

"Well i didn't planned it to give it to you. Infact to even purchase it" she said confusing me.

"Why so?" I asked her.

"Well i liked it so purchased it and didn't gave it to you as i thought you may not like it as its not that expensive" She said her point.

"Right. I don't wear such cheap clothes" i said which she got offended with it.
