Bound by Vows novel Chapter 7

Payal’s POV

I came to supermarket to purchase some grocery. Although I prefer local shops as coming here means additional expense coz extra items are tagged along with necessary items. But Amaya was adamant to come here.

I was roaming in the candies section when I saw one girl, hardly, four year old, was trying to jump for picking up chocolates from top row.

I chucked at her attempt but why is she alone. I saw left & right only to see pathway empty. Parents these days, how could they be irresponsible to leave little baby alone in this mall.

I turned my attention to her, slowly walking towards her.

She jumped again but this time higher only to unbalance herself & fall on ground. I immediately ran towards her to check.

"Baby, are you okay" I asked while trying to hold her in my arms from her back.

She started crying and screamed for her daddy...

I again tried to pick her up but she shrugged my hands off. I forcefully turned her towards me.

An innocent heart face with blue eyes were staring back at me with big tears falling out of her eyes.

I touched her cheeks to calm her.

"Baby, shh see aunty is here. Don't cry you are a big girl na" I tried to pacify her. I have zero idea in handling babies.

She nodded her head and thankfully stopped crying.

"Are you hurt somewhere" I asked politely checking if she got hurt or not.

"Noo" she said in a hoarse voice.

"Baby, what were you doing here alone" I asked to figure out about her family.

"Totlate" she said while pointing towards the chocolate.

I chuckled after hearing her words. She is soo sweet.

"Ohh, so you need chocolate" I asked standing back on my feet.

She nodded.

I picked up the chocolate from aisle & gave her.

She took it from my hands while calling me to come at her level.

I bend towards her while she closed the distance and kissed me on my cheek.

I smiled at her actions.

"Chankoo angell" she said in her baby tone. I chuckled again when said thanku as chankoo.

But me & angel!!! How??

I was about to ask her why she called me an angel. But one old man came in the section and she screamed after looking him.

"Dadduu"

Oh, so this man is her grandfather. Now she is in good hand, I turned to other side while looking for amaya. This girl made be laugh many times in just 5 minutes. I smiled at this thought.

I found amu in other section but instead of looking for items she was looking at some guy.

This girl, after seeing any guy, she starts staring them.

I moved towards her & hit on her head.

"Dii" she screamed while rubbing her head.

"What were you doing" I asked.

"See, that guy is too handsome" she said little louder while grabbing his attention.

I face-palmed myself and asked her to keep quite.

"Stop embarrassing and lets go" I declared.

After sometime, we left for home after purchasing the required items.

Whole day went into household chores.

In the night when I was going to sleep, my mind went towards that little girl.

I forgot to ask her name. She was soo cute but I felt that her eyes were void. Like she was asking something from me. I felt a connection with her.

But no use of this. I am not going to meet her again. With that thought I closed my eyes & drifted into sleep.

"Daddy, I met angel today" doll said.

"Angel??? Who angel doll" I asked her in alerted voice. Dad didn't told meeting anyone in the mall.

"Angel who gave me totlate" she told me.

I am now confused. Who gave her chocolate???

"Doll, did you talked with stranger???" I asked.

She nodded her head.

" How many times I told you not to talk with stranger" I asked politely as I cannot scold her.

"But she was an angel daddy. She helped me when I was crying..." She told me.

"What!!! Why were u crying?" I asked in panic mode.

"Daduu was spering (speaking) on phn and i saw totlate so ran to collect it but fall down & angel helped me to get up & gave me the totlate" she narrated the whole story.

"Doll, next time don't talk to stranger baby. Okay???" I tried to understand her.

"Why daddy" she asked innocently.

"Doll, you see in your princess story na that witch come to pick up good princess" i told her while putting some sense in her.
