Bound by Vows novel Chapter 41

Payal’s POV

It’s been two days since i have seen him...he never crossed path with me after that making me more guilty...i hope his hand is fine.

I know he comes back home late at night and leave before i even wake up.

Mummy is suspicious of this as she asked me the same in the morning.

"Is everything fine between you two?" She asked me.

"Hmm...yeah..." I said with my head down.

"See Payal, i know my son...he is upset due to some reason which i don’t know...i even asked him but you know how stubborn he is. And why he is sleeping in his office room from last 2 days" she asked making me raise my eyes at her.

How does she know about it?

"I have my eyes all around...i just want to say whatever it is, talk with him...you know what beta, you won't even realise when your small distancing with your partner become too big that it will be hard for you two to mend that...and i am saying this from personal experience" she said thinking something.

"And any relationship can be successful only when you share your thoughts with your partner... communication gap will only distance you with him" She advised while i nod.

"Yes mummy, i will try" i said smiling a bit.

"Mummy can i go to meet my ma today? I will come in evening." I asked her suddenly.

"What's the need to ask? You can go whenever you want" she said.

"Thank you mummy...i will take aashi with me" i said.

"Massiii" ashi shout as soon as we reach my house

"Cutiepiee, what a surprise" amu said with a smile

"Namaste ma, how are you?" I asked hugging her

"I am good but you're not...what happened?" She asked.

A traitor tear rolled out of my eye...

"Payu, child what happened? You're giving me tension. Lets go to my room..." she said

"Now tell me" she asked once we settled down on bed.

"Vo...vo...kabir..." I said.

"What happened to Kabir? Is he okay?" She asked.

"Yes he is fine...i had a fight with him and he is not talking with me" i said with a sad face.

"And may i know what mean words you told him?" She asked me with narrowed eyes.

"Maa how can you think that i would be mean to him" i asked with raised eyes.

"I know you very well Payal. You're sweet and caring but when you have to make your point clear, you may go to any extent even hurting your loved one" she state the fact.

"I didn't meant to hurt him but he was asking something for which i was not ready" i said with my head down.

"And i know it must be because of Avi. Right?" She asked while i raised my head to look into her eyes which were glossy by now.

I stayed silent as i don't want to agree on it

"Payal how many times should i tell you that you have to walk out from your past. You cannot live in the past for your whole life" she said.

"But ma, how can i forget my promise i made" i said.

"You really think he would be happy to see you like this...he loved you with all his heart Payal and he always wanted you to stay happy. Be it with him or someone else" she said while more tears rolled out of our eyes.

"What should i do ma? I am soo confused." I state my confusion

"You should give Kabir a chance. He is a nice man with a golden heart. I can assure you this from what i have observed" she said with a smile

Yes i know he is a nice man but my insecurities overpowers everything

"Yes ma, you're right. I think i should give my life a chance...i want to smile my heart out, i want someone to love me, to cherish me and for that i want to give kabir a chance" i said with a smile.

"Thats like my daughter" she said while hugging me.

I made my mind to talk with him once i go back to home.

We reached home at dinner time after spending our day at ma's house.

It was very refreshing to go there and cleared my confusion too what i want from my life

"Mummy, is he back?" I asked her as soon as i reached home.

I am eagerly waiting to talk with him

"Who he??" She asked teasingly.

"Mummy, you know whom i am talking about?" I said with a blush.

"Accha...yes, kunal is in his room. You can meet him...he was also missing his bhabhi" she said while i wanted to roll my eyes.

"Uff mummy, i am talking about your other son, my husband, ashi's father...Mr. Duggu Khurana...is he back?" I asked irritatedly.

She chuckled loudly making me realise what i said

Shit!!! Embarrassing much!!!

"You're soo cute" she said pinching my cheeks.

"Well for your information, he is not back and he called me to let us know that he will be coming late." She said.

"Ohh" i said

I will have to wait more.

1:30 A.M

I am waiting for him. To kill my boredom, i am reading novel

Please come soon!!! I thought while my eyes started to shut down

Kabir's POV

I entered my room after a hectic day...its 2:10 a.m.

My eyes fall on certain someone whom i am avoiding from last few days.

I sat beside her and pushed her hairs behind her ears....she stirred in her sleep.

My head started descending to her face but stopped before my lips touch her forehead.

I know you are only craving for my body.

I pulled myself back from her and walked into washroom.

I thought about that night while standing in shower.

Did she really think like this? That i am craving for her body...were my intentions not clear to her...did i lack behind to convey my feelings to her.

I would have understand her if she told me that she needs time but she went on accusation. It hurt me like hell...thats why i have decided to never cross her path again.

She is just a girl who entered my life just 3.5 months ago...though it will be difficult for me to ignore her considering the fact we practically live in same roof.

But i will try as much as i can. Afterall nothing is impossible for Kabir Khurana.

What hurt me more that she never tried to apologise or even told me her feelings. I would have understand her but no she has bigger ego...let it be...i am not that desperate to be with her.

After getting into my nightwear, i walked to my office room to sleep not before glancing at her for last time.

Afterall it is the only time when i am able to see her.

Payal's POV

Oh shit!!! I looked at the time...its 7:00...i slept before he come back...i missed my chance to talk with him.

I hurriedly went downstairs to meet him.

"What happened Payal? Why are you running?" Mummy asked as soon as I reached downstairs.
