Bound by Vows novel Chapter 4

Kabir’s POV

My car reached the gate of my mansion. After reaching to the front door I punched the password as everyone would be still asleep and I don't want to disturb them.

After opening the door i found living room silent as expected.

I moved towards my floor which is second. I like my privacy so no one is allowed to enter my floor except family without my permission.

I like it this way.

I reached my room to freshen up & changed into track pants & t-shirt. It feels good to be at home.

I lie down on my bed to take an hour nap as I need to be fresh before meeting my doll. Also, everyone would be up by that time.

I woke up with the tickling feeling on my beard. I turned to lie on my back while holding the hand of my intruder softly and put her on my chest near my heart only to hear her giggling.

"Daddyyyy"

"My doll, how is daddy's princess" I asked my daughter softly while kissing her forehead.

OH, I missed her so much. She is my lifeline, my heartbeat, my doll, my 3 years old daughter.

"Doll is angry with you"

"Why doll??? Did someone told you something" I asked her while sitting and adjusted her on my lap. I cannot tolerate anyone putting a finger on my doll.

"No...you didn't take me with you to dandon" she told me innocently in her angry baby tone.

{Dandon means london}

Actually I left for London that day without meeting her due to urgency.

"Accha daddy's doll is angry with him....hmm...What we should do???" I acted to think while looking at her.

"But doll" I called her after a minute.

"Hmm" she hummed lowering her head.

"If you are angry with me...then who will eat the chocolate which i brought from London" i asked her

"Totlate???" she screamed excitedly.

I chuckled while nodding at her words. She still cannot speak long words correctly.

"No I don't want any totlate...i am angry with you daddy" she announced while making an angry face.

"Okay... As my doll is angry with me... Then, I will give chocolates to milo" I announced.

Milo is our dog. Doll loves him so much. Though I don’t like him that much near me as I hate dogs. But I have to because of doll.

I would have thrown him out of my house when Kunal bought him but couldn't after seeing how doll loved him on the first site.

Milo must be roaming here nearby definitely.

As if hearing my thoughts, milo stood in front my bed asking me with his puppy eyes to put him on my bed.

He is still small and can not climb my bed on his own.

But I won't fulfil his demand. I don’t want his fur on my bed and what if he pee on my bed.

A big NOo...

"No no, milo cannot eat totlate" doll's voice bought me back to present.

"Accha, milo cannot eat and you don’t want to...then who will eat chocolate" I asked her while tickling on her stomach.

"Da...daad...daady st...stop...."doll requested while laughing.

"No no first you promise me u will not be angry with daddy and will eat chocolate"

"I pormiseee" she said

I instantly stopped tickling.

"Now let’s go & meet everyone" I told while picking her up in my arms.

We moved to ground floor while milo is trailing behind us.

"Daadi (Grand mom)" doll called mom.

"Morning mom" I greet my mom who is adjusting the breakfast on dinning table.

She turned immediately and came to hug me.

"Morning duggu, how are you my child?" she asked while referring me with my nickname.

"Ohh mom, please don’t call me duggu. For god's sake I am 28 not a kid" I told her annoyingly.

Mom's & their habit of calling us with the nick name.

"So what, you will always be a kid to me" mom told me.

"Who is Kid here??" dad asked while entering the dinning room.

"Daddu (grandfather) mee" doll announced.

I laughed at doll antics.

I sat on the chair while putting doll on adjacent seat. Mom signalled me through her eyes to wish dad. I rolled my eyes at her.

I sighed & wish dad "good morning" i said plainly.

Me & dad are not on good terms. There is a reason behind it. Well, that is the story for another time.

"Morning beta, how was your trip to london" dad enquired.

"Fine" i replied in one word.

"Mom, where is Kunal" I shifted my focus towards mom & enquired about my brother's whereabouts.

"He is gone for some trip with his friends. Will be back by evening" mom informed me.

"Okay" I said while thinking to take his class when he'll be back. It’s high time for him to leave his childish antics & focus on his future.

I finished my breakfast while feeding my doll as well.

After that I spent my whole day while playing with doll as today is our time.

Same day in evening

"Bro" Kunal came in my home office when I was reading a file for tomorrow's meeting.

I glanced at him & nodded him to take a seat in front of me.

"Where were you?" I asked in a monotone.

"Bro, I was out with my friends on a trip for 2 days" he replied

"So, you were absent from office for last 2 days" I asked.

He nodded his head.

"And who gave you permission" I asked him seriously.

"Bhai, vo..." He scratch his neck while fumbling.

"When will you take your life seriously, you have joined office only from a week and you got that tired, you thought to have a break" I asked in an angry tone.

"Sorry bhai" he said in a low voice while lowering his head.

"It might be my office, but rules apply to everyone which includes you also. You are an employee there. So, next time before doing anything think of the consequences" I warned him.

"Yes bhai" he nodded

"Now go and have proper rest. And tomorrow be present in the meeting at 9'o clock sharp" i informed.

"Ok" he said before leaving my room.

I sighed. I may be rude to him but he needs to learn office ethics. I want him to became a good businessman better than me.

Next Day, Khurana Group of Industries

"This is what, you will show to our client" i shouted on my employee who just finished his presentation.

"But Sir, this is what you asked for, last week" he argued

"I told you to show me this crap. I am not paying you for doing nothing here" I shouted. My anger is at higher peak. This deal is very important for me.

"Sir, but..." he still ready to argue.

Nerve of this guy.

"Bloodly as..." I started to march towards him but Rohit's hand on my shoulder hold my words as well as actions.

I sighed while closing my eyes.

"Pranav, you leave the room for now. I will instruct you later on. And everyone meeting is over. You can also leave the room" Rohit tell that fuc*ing bastard and others.

"And you Kunal go and help Pranav in the presentation. I will join you guys after a while" Rohit told Kunal & he also left the room leaving us alone.

"Kabir, you need to calm down friend. It’s not good for you" Rohit turned to me & said.

"You are asking me to calm down. Don't you know how much important is this deal for me, for us" I asked him.

"Yes, I know buddy" He nodded while acknowledging the fact.

"No, you are not understanding man. I don't want to loose this deal to that fucker Sagar" i told him in a higher pitch.

"You don't worry. This deal will come in our hand only. Have faith on yourself and your team" he encouraged me with his words.

I take a long breath to cool down my mind & think about the deal.

I have to get this deal by any means. I cannot loose with that asshole.

With this thought, I turned to concentrate on my work.
