Bound by Vows novel Chapter 9

Payal's POV

I slowly picked up the letter and started reading it.

"Hi, Whosoever you are

First of all let me introduce myself

I am Kabir Khurana

Before we start this marriage thing

I want to clear certain things with you. Only after we will go ahead.

I DON'T NEED A WIFE!!!

What!!! If he don't need a wife? Then what he does want?

A cook or a maid or even worse a fuc*ing buddy!!!

Ewww!!! Where did this came from.

I felt disgusted at my own thoughts.

I glanced at Kunal who was looking at me with a nervous face. I passed an awkward smile to him. Then I started reading again.

Yes, u read it right. I don't need a wife!!!

I only want a mother to my 3 year old daughter...

What he has a daughter? And that too 3 years old... So, he is, no correction was married...Divorcee or what??? Ma didn't told me about it...

Am i ready to become a mother?

I am not ready to be a wife, now i have to be a mother to a 3 yr old also!!!

Shocking, Right???

But this is what i want...

If you don't want this responsibility, then don't read further

Are you still reading it??? Okay.

I want you to take care of my daughter and give her the love of a mother. That's all...

No offense!!! But Am i looking a nanny to him for his child.

"Yes you are or can say in future you would be" my subconscious mocked

It's not like that I don't love children or something but his words clearly states that he needs a caretaker for his daughter not a wife!!!

But my logical mind thought that I am taking his words literally. He wants a mother for his baby. Nothing else!!!

I won't entertain any involvement of yours in any business of mine...Be it work or family or personal life.

I rolled my eyes after reading it... Arrogant!!!

I won't give you any wifey right over me.

Feelings are mutual Mr.Arrogant!!!

Don't expect from me to let you leisurely spend my money on your unwanted expenses!!!

What??? Am I looking a gold digger to him!!!!

Not looking baby, he has not seen you yet!! My subconscious countered.

I really want to throw this letter to that arrogant, jerk and full of himself kind of person. But first I want to know more what he has written in the letter.

Curious enough!!!

If in future any conflicts arise, that goes to divorce then let me clear it to you now that i won't give you a single penny in alimony!!!!

"Thank you, you don't know that what you have done by giving a thought to this marriage" he said while I am confused with his words.

Why is he soo over excited???

"Well, that's okay!!!" I said, don't know what else to say.

"We will give a call tomorrow to know your answer, then we can also fix your meeting with Kabir" aunty said

I nodded.

"Okay Suchitra ji, we should leave... hope to meet you soon to plan the marriage" aunty said with a smile.

"Yes, hope we will be meeting soon" ma said with a smile.

I noticed Kunal who was busy looking at Amaya more than required from a time she came back.

"Ahem!!!" I slowly coughed to draw his attention.

He looked towards my side and smiled getting embarrassed with the fact that I caught him ogling amu.

After a while, they all left our house while ma started interrogating.

"Payal, what was written in the letter" ma asked me...

"Ma, why did you not inform me that he has a daughter" i shoot the first question which was striking in my mind since the time I acknowledged this fact.

"Wo, actually I thought first we should meet the family" ma said

"But why??? Did you thought I would straight forwardly deny with the proposal after knowing this??" I asked her

"No, its not like that!!! I just didn't..." She stopped midway maybe don’t know what to say.

"So, are you agreeing with this proposal, ma" I asked ma to know her perspective.

"Yes, only if you are okay with it!!! And i found the family very warm and polite. They are good. So, i think Kabir would also be good" ma shared her thought.

But I don't think so!!! He might be good but he is too arrogant, straight forward and full of himself type of guy. This is what I realised after reading that letter!!!

"And they aren't asking for anything. No demands. Even though we have a lot of difference, status wise!!! But I didn't feel once that way when we were talking" ma said.

"Di, I also liked the family!!! And I guess jiju would be very handsome... didn't you see his brother, he was quite good looking" amaya declared.

I rolled my eyes at her thoughts!!! She feels every guy is handsome.

I am still confused what to do!!!

Well, i have one plus point in this relationship!!! That he won't ask for his husband rights after marriage.... And I wouldn't be worried for this as i am not ready to move on...

Oh god!!! Please give me some hints or sign!!! I request you!!!

With this thought, I went to my room to fresh up.
