Bound by Vows novel Chapter 32

Payal’s POV

"Actually...i want to...talk...talk about last night" he said while colour of my face changed.

Shit!!! In all this fiasco, i forget about last night events. My face flustered remembering all those things we did.

But what he want to talk about it? Will he blame me for all this? Will he regret for all that happened?

My heart felt a sting at this thought. But why? I also regret... no i am not regretting but feeling guilty.

"See... actually...last night."he started but i cut him in between

"I don't want to talk about it" i said getting up as I don't want to hear if he says he is regretting

My thoughts are messed up totally. One side i myself is feeling guilty other side I don't want to hear same things from him.

He gave a break to my thoughts by gripping my wrist. I stopped but didn't turned.

"Never walk away when i am talking" he said arrogantly.

I rolled my eyes at this.

"Don't tell me what to do?" I said in same tone.

"Can we talk like two mature adult" he said while i turned and nodded my head.

"See whatever happened between us last night should not had happened." He said while my heart beating fast as this is what i didn't wanted to hear

But he is right it should not have happened but why i am not liking it

"I was drunk and forced myself on you but in real i don't want to force you into anything. So i am sorr-" i cut him mid way.

"Don't say that as it was not your mistake. We both were equally into it" i said without looking into his eyes.

Its difficult for me to accept this fact. But its true that i allowed him.

"Hm...yeah...yes..." He stuttered while I looked at him. He stared me with intensity.

"I think...we...we should leave" i said breaking the trance.

"Wait...i want to say something else too" he said while i got confused.

Now what else is left.

"See i know from the starting of our marriage, we practically lived like a stranger with minimum interaction" he said while i nodded my head.

Its true we don't know eachother.

"So, i want to give this relationship a chance. To give us a chance. Atleast we can be friends...not more than that...what you say" he offered.

Should i accept it? Will it be better? Is it a good decision. But what about my past...i never thought to move ahead leaving that behind.

He is asking for friendship only, nothing else and above that he knows about your past. When he is ready to accept that then why not you.

Yes Payal just accept this. My heart said to me.

"Ok..okay" i said clearing my throat.

"But there is a rule in my friendship" he said while i gaped at him.

Oh god!!! Now will he set rules in friendship too.

"What rules?" I asked

"You will share your everything to me. I am not talking about your happiness but your pains, your problems everything. And i will try to listen it carefully and will be there for you always. So friends?" he said extending his hand while i felt happy for it.

Noone ever said this to me. People were always there for me in my happy times but noone listened to me when i was suffering.

"Ye-yes" i said emotionally shaking my hand.

"Now lets go... everyone must be waiting for you" he said while i nodded my head.

We sat in the car and i got lost in my thoughts.

Kabir’s POV

Finally i am relaxed. It feels like some burden is off from my shoulders after talking to her.

Yes you must be wondering why i want to give this relationship a chance. But then i was thinking about it from many days.

I was bitter with her in initial days as i always used to think her like Sanjana. But no she is different. She cares about my family and moreover she loves doll like a real mother.

My baby who was deprived of her mothers love and care now getting all this from Payal. What else i need?

And above all i have wasted many years in hating one particular girl. Now i want to live my life. I may not be able to love Payal as i should as her husband but atleast we can be friends and have friendly relationship. It will be helpful for doll too.

But before that i have to do something about her college. I wont tolerate anyone troubling my wife. And today it was a height. That bastard yash...if i wouldn't had reached there on time...then...i dont even want to think about that.

I looked at her side but she was lost in her own thoughts. I thought not to disturb her.

Soon we reached home. I looked at her she is still lost. I called her but she didn't listened. Then i touched her arm but she flinched back as if got scared...

Payal’s POV

I was lost in my past...those painful days...but then someone shook me and i got scared..

But then i looked at the source and saw Kabir who is looking with confused expression.

"What" i asked.

"We have reached" he said

I looked around and indeed we have reached. I turned to get down but he asked me "are you okay?"

I looked into his eyes and said "yes"

"Okay. You go inside. I will come after parking the car" he said.

I nodded and get down from car.

After entering into home, i heard some unknown voice.

"Amrita, this is how your new daughter in law is? Have you seen the time. It’s 8 p.m and she is still not at home. Is this how she is taking care of our aashi" someone said this to mummy.

"No jiji, its not like that. She always comes back on..." Mumma started but stopped when she saw me.
