Payal's POV
"I don't drink" i said when Kabir kept the glass infront of me.
"Its fruit punch not alcohol" he informed me.
"And even if you want, i wont allow you as i had a very hard time last time" he muttered lowly but i heard it.
"What?" I asked as i didn't get it.
What last time??
"Nothing" he said shrugging the topic.
I hate it whenever he ignore answering my questions...
“Whatever" i said concentrating on others.
We are presently in a club. I was surprised that aashi didn't even for once asked to come with us. Maybe coz she was sleepy, she didn't noticed.
I still was not sure to come but nobody listened to me and dragged me here.
We got entry into club very easily. Definitely courtesy my dear husband...
We are sitting in a Vip area where very few people are allowed to enter.
But we can see whole club from our seats.
"Why she is even coming" my attention diverts to divya who is whining for some reason and said out of the blue thing.
Who is coming?
"Who is coming?" Amu asked my unsaid question.
"Our massi...our mother's elder sister. I am telling you amaya she is a pain in the as..." Divya started but interfered by him.
"Shut up divi, you should know how to talk...she is our elder... don't you dare...i am seeing that since the time you have come back from new york you've lost your manner" Kabir lectured her which i found little excess.
Divi shut her mouth but i can see she got upset with it.
"Divi, you know na...bhai cannot hear anything against her... afterall he is her favourite and he also consider her most" Kunal said in hushed voice while divya rolled her eyes...
I kept silent and take a sip of my drink. Environment become quite serious right now. Are we here for this?
"Divya, amaya lets go to the dance floor" i said to cheer up the mood.
All are giving me amusing look...might be not expecting this from me...
Nonetheless amaya and divya stood up from their place and accompanied me to the floor.
We started swaying to the beats of the music.
I hesitated first but then freed myself to relax and enjoy.
I swayed my hands in the air and moved my hips with the rhythm...
Soon kunal joined us and i looked at Kabir who was already looking at our side.
I averted my eyes and focused on dance.
Soon i got involved in my dance that i didn't care about my surrounding.
But after time i felt someone's presence behind me. I looked back only to find a guy standing very close to me and giving me creepy smile.
I narrowed my eyes at him and turned to dance again.
After sometime, someone put his hand on my waist starling me...
I will kill this bastard.
I turned with an angry face but met with the smiley face of someone familiar.
"Hey beautiful, long time no see" he said with his known smile.
Danush....
He was my college buddy, a very good friend of mine. But he left for aboard in mid session for his mother's treatment as she was unwell. After that we lost contact as i was too busy with my life happening.
"What are you doing here?" I shouted as music is loud and he hugged me in a friendly hug.
I gripped his hand and moved out of the floor so that we can talk.
"Now tell me, what are you doing here?" I asked again.
"You tell me what are you doing here? Last time i knew you had no contacts in delhi..." He asked.
"Yeah, circumstances happened. Well leave it, you tell how is aunty doing and your life?" I asked.
He gave me confused look first but then started telling about his life.
"Mom is fine now and we are here settled in Delhi only" he said.
"Wow, that's nice. And you found someone or still single" i asked him.
"You remember Ramya? Mom friend's daughter whom you met once" he asked me.
I tried to remember and said still recalling "yeah...i guess"
"Well she is my wife now" he said.
"Wow nice!!!" I said feeling happy for him.
"You tell...how is your lovebird? Huhh? You guys got married or not?" He asked making my smile dropped as i got flashback...
"Hm...he..." I started but stopped when someone snuggled his arms around my waist.
I looked at my side only to found Mr. Duggu Khurana.
He gave a hard glare to Danush who returned it with a frown. And i can understand why...
"Do you know him Payal?" He asked me
"Ye..."i was about to say but Kabir interrupted...
"Her Husband" he said possessively while closing me to his side resulting in loosing my hand from danush's grip.
"Husband?" Danush asked looking at me.
I nodded my head.
His eyes asked me many unasked question.
"Yes husband...but who are you?" Kabir asked him.
"I am Danush. Payal's close buddy" he said extending his hand which Kabir royally ignored.
Arrogant
"Payal can i speak to you? Alone?" Danush asked looking at Kabir who send him glare.
What is with this man?
"Why? I won't all-" Kabir started but i interrupted him.
"Yes danush, why not" i said freeing myself from Kabir's arms.
He won't take my decision. I won't allow him to decide on my behalf. At least not with whom i talk or not.
We moved towards other side.
"Payal, what is this? Your husband. I thought you will marry..." Danush started questioning.
"Yes i know danush you have many questions. But its a long story. I will tell you some other time" i said as i cannot explain him everything now.
"Okay fine...but are you happy with this guy?" He asked.
Am i? I don't know whether i am happy or not but i can say i am now satisfied with my life. And i can say i much better than before.
"Yes i am. I mean we are at our initial stage of our relationship and we are progressing. And his name is Kabir Khurana" i explained.
"Hmm...btw is he the owner of Khurana Industries?" He asked.
"Hmm" i said
"Wow girl, he is one of the big industrialist in India" he said while i am quite surprised.
I mean i know he is rich but didn't knew he is that famous. Well its my mistake, i never made an effort to know him or his business.
"I must say he loves you very much" he said confusing me.
Love and he? Never!!!
