Bound by Vows novel Chapter 36

Payal’s POV

My eyes went wide with shock when massi announced that i am pregnant.

Me and pregnant? Is she mad? Just because i had a vomit it doesn't mean that.

My eyes moved towards Kabir whose eyes speaks volume... question, confusion and shock is evident on his face.

"Bhai, I didn't knew that you're that fast. I mean yesterday only we were talking about little you and today we go-" Kunal teased him.

"Shut up" Kabir angered and stood up from his seat walking towards me.

He grab my hand and started walking upstairs.

"Bhai leave bhabhi... atleast let us congratulate he-" Kunal again teased.

"Go to hell" Kabir yelled in anger.

When we reached his room, he left my hand with a jerk due to which i stumbled back while he closed the door with a thud.

"Whose child is this?" He asked in anger shocking me to the core. Is he doubting me?

"Are you mad? How can i be pregnant when you have not..." I shouted in anger too.

"That’s why i am asking because we both know we never had sex...so this is definitely not my child" he said accusing me.

"That’s means you think i have an affair with another man and having his child in my womb? Do you really think so Mr. Khurana?" I asked him angrily

"No i didn't said that" he denied.

"So what you meant by that" i asked him.

"I am just asking you how you're pregnant when i have not touched you" he screamed.

"I am not pregnant idiot" i screamed in frustration.

This conversation irritates me to the core. And because of it he is arguing with me.

"What? You're not? Then why massima was saying all that?" He asked in confusion.

"Ask her why she is saying all this. I just had a vomit that too because i am vegetarian and i can’t stand non veg dish but she got it all wrong" i said.

"That's a news" he said amusingly. Was not he accusing me minutes ago

"Lets go downstairs and break the bubble before they start preparing for baby shower" he said while i laughed mutedly as i am angry with him.

"Thats means she is not pregnant" massi said with a sad face.

I didn't expected her to be that happy with that fake pregnancy news. Well everyone is disappoint now as it was not real.

"Yes she is not..." Kabir said...

"But she was feeling dizzy and also had a vomit. We can call doctor and check. Might be she is" massiji suggested.

"I am telling you na she is not pregnant" kabir said calmly but i can see he is getting irritated with it.

"But migh-" massiji said. She is too stubborn.

"Let it be na jiji...when kids are telling that they are not, then let it be...it might be that she is sick due to some other reason" mummy interfered for which i am thankful.

"Yes that’s because she doesn't eat non veg and when she opened that bowl of chicken, she vomited. Now stop this topic i am getting irritated with all this non sense talks" kabir bluntly said and went upstairs.

Soon everyone started going to their room.

"It would have been better if she was pregnant" massiji taunt while i rolled my eyes.

She also went to her room.

"Payal you also eat something. I am sorry i didn't knew that you are vegetarian" she said.

"Mummy don’t embarrass me by saying sorry. It was not your mistake" i said.

"Hmm...and sorry from jiji's side. I wanted to stop her as i know there is nothing in between you two..." She said shocking me.

She knows? But how? We never had been vocal about our relationship.

"I have my eyes and as a mother i can read you both. And i know the circumstances in which you both got married. It was an arranged marriage and i know my duggu, he must be giving you hard time" she answered my unasked question.

"No mummy, i mean he was and still sometimes talk rudely but we are progressing in our relationship. But he is arrogant duggu khurana for me" i said then realised what i said

Shit, i said all this to his mother more precisely. I started looking down.

She laughed loudly

"Hmm... Arrogant Duggu Khurana" she teased me.

"I..i am sorry. I didn't meant that way" i said embarrassingly.

"I liked the name. It really suits his personality" she said pinching my cheeks. I also laughed with her.

"I am happy that both of my kids are trying and giving this relationship a chance" she said while hugging me. I hugged her back.

I am thankful to God to give me her as mother in form of mil.

"Now you go and eat something" she said.

"I will take only milk. I am not feeling like eating. But what about you and massiji" i asked her.

"We will eat in her room" she said and went to kitchen to take dinner.

Kabir’s POV

I was angry and shocked after learning about her pregnancy. That’s why behaved immaturely and questioned her.

But i was relaxed that it was just a rumour nothing true...i cannot even imagine her to be with someone else. It burns me from inside. And it amaze me as i don't have any feelings for her, still these types of emotions...

My thoughts broke when she entered the room.

She directly went to washroom and came back after sometime changing into her nightsuit.

How can someone look that beautiful in a simple fucking nightsuit...Is she that beautiful from the starting or i am noticing her now only.

"I would like to clarify something to you" she said after settling beside me on bed.

I looked at her side while turning on my left side.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"In future if situation comes when you think i am wrong or you doubt me, then before accusing, please clarify to me personally. Though it might be a small incident for you today but it really hurt me when you accused me with some other man" she said with a hurt face.

"But i didn't said that" i said while she made me realise that i went over the board in my anger.

"But indirectly it was evident that you were doubting me..." she said.

"I...i am sorry for that. But i was not doubting. Its just when i was shocked and angry..." i said truly.

She didn't replied and turned her back towards me.

Is she still angry with me? But i already apologized.

Payal’s POV

He apologized which is rare for him but i turned and closed my eyes. Why should i accept it easily.

"Payal..." He called but i pretended to sleep.

He touched my arm and turned me straight. Still i pretended to sleep.

He didn't said anything and laid down on his side. I waited for him to do something but he didn't.

After a while when sleep was about to come, i felt his hot breath on my face making my heartbeat raise.

What is he doing.

"I am really sorry. I didn't meant to hurt you...it was just i couldn't control my anger after knowing that. I am sorry" he said and kissed my forehead.

After that i felt him going away. When i opened my eyes i looked at him who is now sleeping with his back towards me.

I smiled thinking what he said few minutes ago.

Who are you Kabir? I really fails to understand you sometimes.

Its been a week since that day. Everything is going great...with Kabir also, well i forgave him that night only when he confessed.

Though he thought i was angry with him and it was really fun to saw him asking me to forgive him which is quite contrary to his nature.

Few days back...

He took us (me and aashi) outside for shopping. Though it was not needed but he was adamant to go saying aashi needs new clothes which was a pure lie.

"Where you want to go?" He asked me.

Can you imagine Mr. Arrogant Duggu Khurana is asking my preference. Its like a eighth wonder.

"I guess you told sometime back that aashi needs new clothes...so definitely we will go to some high standard place according to your taste" i mocked him showing clearly that i am still angry with him.

"Aww wifey, you have understood me very well in few months only" he said.

"Yes husband, when you have to live with someone who is too picky people will understand their nature easily" i taunt him.

He laughed at this.

"You cannot help in this...you will have to live with it for your whole life" he said while my heart skipped a bit

Indirectly he asked for lifetime commitment. Well we are already bound by our Vows.

"Unfortunately yes and also will have to bear someone's accusation for rest of my life" i said with a hurt face.

"I have already apologized for that. And i am again doing it. I am so sorry for that mistake" he apologized while my heart swelled with joy.

"Mumma, i want a teddy bear for me" aashi asked with a pout.

"Yes baby we will buy it" i said smilingly...i am happy that aashi is back to her normal self with me...and i am thankful to him for that

"And i will eat icecream too" she said while i laughed at her.

"Sure, we will eat icecream too" i said.

"I only get taunts from her while others get her smile" he mumbled.

Jealous??? No way!!!

"Did you say something?" I asked him

"Nothing" he said annoyingly.

"On a contrary yes i said i am sorry. Now will you accept my apology" he asked me again.

"Its okay but don't repeat it again" i forgave him as i can't stay angry with anyone who is apologizing me for many times.

"Never" he said with a smile... I smiled back.

"How is it?" I asked him showing one dress for aashi..

"Its good but i don't like the colour" he said.

"But its good...baby pink will suit her. Aashi do you like this dress?" I asked her

"Yes..." She said excitedly

"No...it should be black or grey in colour" he said while i rolled my eyes

"Ohh please....she is a kid stay her out of your plain and boring choice" i said because he is the who always wear these colours.

"Whatever" he said.

"We are buying it. Let me just check the size" i said...

When we came out of trial room, i didn't found him. We checked whole showroom and finally found him in ladies section.

Like seriously, what is he doing here?

"What are you looking for?" I asked him when found him scanning the dresses.

"Hmm...will you try this dress for once" he asked showing me one dress.

"Huh...i...i? But why?" I asked.

Was he searching it for me?

"Actually i want to buy something for divi...so if you would try it...it will be better" he said.

"Ohh" i said with a sad face.

"Now go" he said giving me 3 dresses for try.

"But i don't wear western dresses" i said.

"Ohh is it??? Then did i saw your ghost that day in club" he said while i rolled my eyes.

I noticed i am doing this frequently.

"It was because divya and amaya insisted me otherwise i don't" i said.

"Okay...but i am just telling you to try" he said

"Okay...fine" i said and moved to trial room.

Wow...its nice...i thought after looking myself in the mirror. Divya will look cute in this...It was a off shoulder knee length dress.

I walked outside and he said something which i didn't catch.

"I think it will suit divya very much" i voiced my opinion.

"Yes" he said.

"Okay...i will try next one" i said turning back.

"Wait" he said.

"Hmm" i asked.

"Next time call me..i will come to trial room" he said.

"Why so?" I asked him.

"Just do as i say" he said with authority.

I walked inside and changed into second one.

This is also nice!!!

I called him.

"Coming" he said and cut the phone before i could ask him...Rude!!!

I heard knock after sometime.

He came in when i opened the knob.

"Where is aashi?" I asked him.

"She is playing outside" he said coolly.

"Why did you left her alone" i asked in concern. How could he be so careless?

"Relax she is playing with others kids in games section in the mall and those people are taking care of them and we cannot go inside. We can only watch them" he explained.

I nodded.

"By the way do you want to buy this dress for divya" i asked him.

"What would you suggest?" He asked me.

"If you want simple one then first one was good and comfortable but you want something for party wear then this is perfect" i said.

"Hmm...okay, try third one then we will decide" he said

He walked out and i tried third one but i am having problems in zipping it. I tried many times but my hand is not reaching towards my back.

So i left it and tried to hold the dress from shoulders.

I called him and within a minute i heard a knock.

He walked in once i opened the door.

"Stand straight" he said...

I stood straight still trying to hold my dress intact.

"What is it with your hands? Why are you holding it?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

"Wo... actually...i am unable to zipped up my dress" i said embarrassingly.

"Ohh..." He said.

"Turn around" he again said

"What?" I asked
