Bound by Vows novel Chapter 57

"I told you na...i don't need your money... you don't need to flaunt your richness over here" he said making me sad.

I didn't expect it from him. And moreover i will never flaunt money to anyone.

My hands which were on his shoulders dropped and i turned to leave him.

But he hold my wrist.

"I am sorry Payal. I did not mean that way. I am just very much stressed with all this. I don't want to loose my ma too after loosing my papa..." He said and started crying again.

"Its okay. But trust me you can borrow money from me. And don't worry i will take back all the money from you with interest" i said jokingly to lighten the mood.

"Still Payal really i don't want to take your father's money" he said again.

"Who told you it's my papa's money. It's not his but my own savings which i earned by teaching dance to many students over the years. So, now will you take it" i asked him.

Yes I am trained classical dancer and I used to teach many students back in Jaipur but I never used that money.

"Thank you so much... I will return your money as soon as possible" he said.

Next day....

His mother's operation is going on and we are sitting outside OT...

And my phone is constantly ringing and you can imagine who was calling me. I ignored his call and put it on silent mode.

Now he started messaging me...

Bastard: Darling, pick up

the call...I want to hear

your sweet voice

Me: Go to hell

Bastard: Use your words

wisely dear...you may fall

in problem lateron

Me: i am not afraid of

you

Bastard: oh,I just remembered

your baby brother is going

back...what if his planes

crash in middle

I read his message in horror...but i know he can give only empty threats.

I didn't replied back and focused on Avi.

"I will never forget what you did for me for the rest of my life. Thank you is not enough to show my gratitude" Avi said emotionally.

"Ohho avi, i am your best friend. And I consider aunty as my mum...so you don't need to thank me" i said.

That bastard again messaged me

Bastard: if you don't pickup

the call right now... don't complaint

for the consequences lateron

My phone started ringing again...i thought to pick it up now...better not to mess with that freak.

"Avi i will come back in a minute..." I told avi and moved to other side.

"What is your problem?" I asked him in anger as soon as i picked up the call.

"Tch tch...anger is not good for health darling" akhil said in his disgusting voice.

"Don't you dare to threaten me next time with my brother" i warned him.

"Aww...Baby got scared???" He said.

"I am not afraid of you..." I spat in anger.

"It will be fun to crush this attitude of yours after marriage" he said while I rolled my eyes.

"Why did you called me Akhil?? I was in the middle of my class" i lied.

"Darling, I thought to share the good news with you first" he said making me frown.

"What good news? Are you pregnant???" I asked him laughing loud.

Though I know his good news must be bad for me.

"That day will come soon when you will be pregnant with my child" he said with a smirk.

I will kill myself before he dare to touch me with his dirty hands..

"For now the good news is—our marriage date is fixed after a month. So, darling enjoy for last one month...After that your freedom will be caged in my bedroom" he said making me shocked.

After hearing his nonsense talks for few more minutes, i went back to Avi...

"Ohh Sorry Cupcake, in my tension i forget to ask you about your marriage proposal. So, how is it going on?" He asked me...

"I had my engagement 2 days back..." i said monotonous way showing my engagement ring...

"What? You had your engagement without even telling me..." He asked me in shocking tone.

"Sorry Avi, it was papa's wish to do it earlier. And even i called you multiple times you didn't picked up the call..." I said dejectedly.

"I was stressed Cupcake with all the happenings that why unable to contact you" he said with sad face.

"Hmm..." Though i wanted to share my problems with him but I can't burden him. I know his nature. He will take a lot of tension for me.

But i cannot let him suffer in my problems.

"Btw congratulations for your engagement. I wish you a happy married life in future" He said with a smile.

But i feel that smile didn't reach his face.

And happy married life??? Only if you know Avi.

Next few days went in the blur... Papa called me to share the news which i already knew.

For next month i had to bear that Akhil's flirty messages and calls. And always his talks were related to S*x...his mind is full of gutter.

Avi's mom was recovering well and i spent most of the time at his home taking care of aunty too...I found peace with her and maybe it was the last time i am spending with these amazing people.

My exams will be due after the marriage. And i hope akhil will let me give them otherwise my whole year will be wasted.

Yes, i am thinking of marriage with akhil now. I have accepted my fate but if he thinks he will make me the dirt of his shoes, then he is wrong. He don't know me well, i will show him what Payal is.

And soon that one month passed. And i had to go back to Jaipur.

Functions will start from tomorrow. That bastard called me to have a dinner with him tonight. I denied him as usual.

"Why did you denied Akhilji for the dinner?" Papa asked me on the lunch table.

"Ohh...so, now he is complaining about me with you" i said with sarcasm.

"I did a big mistake by letting you study away from us...You've become too mannerless after going there" he said in anger.

"It is not the result of me studying away from family but the result of your pressure on me for this forced marriage" i spat in anger.

"You are still struck on that point. I never wanted to force you for anything but your madness has made me to do this. You have made me the villain in your eyes" he said.

"You don't even know papa, who is the real villian but there is no point to talk about it with you..." I said getting up from the chair.
