Is she here for seducing anyone...i hope my husband is not in the list.
Uff!!! Where this came from?
But this is an office for god sake...so should be dressed professionally instead of looking like a slut.
"I am going inside." I said even though i didn't wanted to answer her.
"I can see that but you're not allowed to" She said with an attitude
"And who are you to tell me whether i am allowed or not?" I asked her
"I am Lisa, Kabir's personal secretary. And i know he doesn't have any appointment with anyone. So get back from where you've come" she said with a smirk.
Personal Secretary? Since when people started calling their bosses with their first name.
Kabir entertains these types of employees who doesn't have an etiquette to talk with guests? Like seriously? I am disappointed
I ignored her smirk and started walking ahead but maybe she doesn't like it as she pulled me back holding my arm.
"What the hell? I am telling you you're not allowed to go then who the hell are you to disobey me?" She shouted.
Luckily noone is here on this floor as i don't want people to watch this drama.
"I would ask you the same...who the hell are you to stop me?" I asked her...
Though its not in my nature to argue with these types of people. But i am also not one of them to stay quiet and listen to these craps.
I again walked ahead but this time she put her foot infront of me. Next minute i knew i am going to kiss the ground.
But its like deja vu that out of nowhere Kabir came to my rescue. I fall straight into his arms.
"Are you okay?" He asked with full of concern.
Just to show this girl her position, i wrapped my arms around Kabir and hide my face in his chest.
He got stiffened with this act of mine.
"Sir, this lady was trying to enter your office without my permission" she said while i was shocked at what she thought of herself.
"Is it?" He asked while i moved aside from his hug.
"Yes sir, i even told her politely that you're not allowed as sir might be busy and she didn't had any appointment with you" she said
Polite? My foot.
"But lisa she doesn't need your permission to meet her husband" he said while i smiled at this.
"Husband??" She asked with her eyes shocked and widened.
"Yes husband, i am Mrs Payal Kabir Khurana." I said with a smirk.
Her face expression are worth to watch...its like someone pour cold water on it
"Lets go, we're getting late" Kabir said while i followed him.
I waved to pooja once reached ground floor. She smiled shyly
Kabir’s POV
"Payal, i am glad you came" That man hugged her as soon as we reached his house.
Man, keep your hands off her
"Ofcourse i had to after all you're my old buddy" She said returning the hug
Yeah, Old buddies and close too.
"Hello Mr. Khurana" Danush greet me after detaching her from his hug which i really appreciate.
"Hello" i said formally shaking hands
Soon a girl around payal's age came and hugged her
"Hey Payal, long time no see...how are you? I have been eagerly waiting to meet you since the time danush told me about you" she shouted while i cringe at her loud pitch.
"Ramya, she just came and you started your questions?" Danush said while i wonder who is she?
His girlfriend or sister maybe?
"Hii ramya, i am good. You tell me how come you got married to this monkey?" Payal asked her while i got relieved for the reason i am unaware of
"Atleast don't call me monkey in front of my wife" Danush said making faces while payal show her tongue to him
Very childish act!!!
"Is this your Sugar Payal?" Ramya asked referring to me while i got confused
Sugar?? Who is he???
"Ramyaa..." Danush tried to stop his wife
I looked towards Payal, smile which was there on her face few seconds before dropped immediately
"No, he is Kabir...my husband" she said with a straight face.
"Ohh" she said dramatically.
"Please come in" danush said trying to divert the topic
We walked inside the living room where around 6-7 ppl were already present
Most of them exchanged hugs with Payal as they were her college mates
And here i am getting bored to be honest if it was not for that guy i would never had attended this party
Once standing alone with her in the corner, i thought to ask her about sugar but soon a girl wearing slutty dress came to me.
Payal's POV
"Hi Kabir, how are you and what are you doing here in this party?" A girl whom I don't know asked kabir
"Who are you?" He asked in his signature attitude
"Remember, hotel gracia room no. 546" she said while my eyes got widened with it
Don’t tell me she is his ex or worse his mistress
I looked towards kabir who was already looking at me.
"Why don't we reminisce old time? What say?" She said while i made a face
Yuck...i never knew he would be doing all this behind my back...i thought... never mind...what else i can expect from him
"I shall leave you both alone so that you can remind your old good times" i said with a force smile while gritting my teeth
"No..." Kabir tried to say something but i ignored and walked to danush.
"Hey danush, can you please guide me where is washroom?" I asked her
"Yeah sure, lets go" he said and started moving upstairs
I followed him like a lost puppy
"I am sorry Payal" he apologized out of the blue
"Huh?? Y??" I asked feeling confused
"From ramya's side...she is very talkative...never think before speaking... she didn't knew that he is your husband not your sugar. Actually i always talked about you both how you were inseparable, so she thought...but i...i am" he explained making me remember my old days.
Those were the best days of my life but everything changed 3 years back
"Its ok...okay…not her mistake" i said though it made me sad thinking about him.
"But will you tell me what has happened to Avi...why you guys are not together? Where is he now? Does he know you got married to kabir??" He shoot his questions making my eyes in tears
"No...he doesn't know anything about my marriage with Kabir" i said suppressing my sobbing
I composed myself and told him everything
"Oh god, you have faced soo much...i never got to know anything about you guys" he said sadly
"Yes, but since i got married i am trying to get over my past...i have a beautiful family now for whom i want to leave my past behind" i said with a small smile while wiping my tears thinking about my new family
"Hmm... that's great...but in my opinion you could talk to him once" he said while i know to whom he is referring
"How can i? It was my mistake...i broke his trust...he will never accept me again" i said sadly
