Bound by Vows

Chapter-12

Payal’s POV

I looked in the direction of a little girl who ran into the arms of this arrogant man.

I am shocked seeing the chocolate girl whom i met in the mall last month...

But Daddy??? That means she is his daughter??? Seriously???

I smiled at this thought as she would be my daughter then after marriage!!!

"Doll!!!" He said to the little girl very softly.

Softly???? I didn't hear his this type of voice during our whole conversation in last half hour.

"Where is Kunal??? How did you came alone???" He asked her

"Ohho daddy, how silly you are!!! How can i come alonn, chachuu is spoing on phone i come here" she

said her dad cutely while i chuckled.

This draw their attention towards my side. I made a normal face and smiled looking at the little girl.

She looked towards my direction with her big eyes with curiosity while thinking something.

She pouted and then smiled

"Angelll" she screamed while coming out of his arms and came in my direction. I picked her up and

placed her on my lap.

"Hello, little chocolate girl" i said while smiling.

She smiled and placed a kiss on my cheek.

I smiled widely at her gesture while someone cleared his throat. And i know the intruder.

I looked at his side who has a surprised face probably coz his daughter is sitting on my lap.

"Did you guys met before??? Do you know my daughter???" He asked me.

I nodded. Was about to say but little girl beat me...

Like father like daughter!!!

"Yes daddy, she is my angel" she said excitedly while he made a confused face. Meanwhile Kunal

came to the table.

"Hii" he said politely to me

I reciprocate the same. I looked towards him and said "i met her once in a mall last month i guess"

He nodded. Now i should give him the letter. I was about to say but interrupted but this time by ringing

of his phone...Ughh!!!

He picked up and listened to other person and said "okay, coming!!!"

"I have to go" He announced while standing up from his chair.

What!!! But what about the letter...

"But..." I tried to say

"I guess everything is settled now and i will give my answer in a while. And i called my daughter here

because you have to mingle with her in future, not with me!!! So i thought its better if you both meet

first!!!" He said. I nodded

"Kunal, you take back doll to home" he ordered kunal who nodded his head.

And he left without listening my whole point!!! Now what???

I looked at Kunal who is now sitting at his chair smiling at me.

"I guess you have already meet our little princess" he asked while I nodded my head.

I glanced at little girl who is smiling already.

"So, little girl how are you??" I asked

"Goodd, how are you angell" she asked in her childish voice.

"I am also good. Well what is the name of our pretty little girl!!!" I asked while caressing her cheeks.

"Aashi" she said

"Wow, pretty name for a pretty face" i said smilingly

I then glanced at Kunal who is sitting quietly and observing.

"Can you please do me a favour" i requested him

"Yes, anytime sister-in-law" he said while i feel little uncomfortable with the title he used.

Anyway i shrugged and started picking out the letter from my handbag and forwarded it to him

"Please, give it to him and tell him to read it before arriving at any decision" i asked politely

He took it from my hand and said " Matching, are we"

I understand his words little late.

"No its not like that. Its just-" i started to explain

"Relax its okay...i will give it to him" kunal said.

I nodded. Then we stayed in restaurant for sometime where i spent some time with aashi and then left.

I am ready for this marriage if he is okay with my past as i liked aashi very much and i am ready to

become her mother!!!

With this thought I moved to the home.

Kabir’s POV

I was sitting in my home bar having a drink while thinking about today's events. It was something i

didn't expect at all.

When I saw her I was shocked because i found her familiar.

Then I was looking at her closely while trying to figure out whether she is the same girl or not!!!

When she cleared her throat to gain my attention, I came up with the stupid question to cover up my

expressions.

"Are u the proposal girl??"

Of course she is!!! Then i told her to sit & went straight to the point...

I just started but waiter interfered our talk.

And nerve of that boy. He started staring her longer than required...

I didn't like it!!! Whatever may be the reason. I told him to leave & send other one.

Luckily next one was old man which was fine with me.

Again we started conversing, then she said she also have some conditions.

I nodded but then i remember that i don't even know her name yet!!!

I didn't asked mom beforehand and to cover up this i asked for formal introduction...

When she placed her hands on my palm i felt her so soft and warm that send a soothing sensation in

my body. I was about to tighten the hold but she pulled back her hand instantly and introduced herself.

Payal...i tested the name on my tongue!!!

It sounds good...

Then she said about her working...i told her my pov but she was adamant so i nodded...

We had an argument on every condition. I didn't like it she was giving back to me on every talk of ours.

I mean no girl is able to give a reply to my rude remarks.

Impressive!!!

She is something. Still i was confused will she be suitable for my doll... But that doubt was cleared after

doll's arrival.

I was confused when doll called her angel. I mean how, when and where they met?

Then my confusion got cleared when she told me how they know eachother.

Then, it strike me, doll told me once about her angel!!!

Ohh!!! She is the one who trapped my doll in her web.

Is she good or not!!! I am confused what to do???

But the question is "is she is the same girl"?

I moved to my room closet & searched the whole closet for that thing...

Where did i kept it???

My search came to an end when i found it. I took it in my end while thinking about the past.... This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

___________________________________________

4 years ago (Goa)

Today is my marriage with Sanjana. We are having destination wedding in Goa due to Sanjana's

demand.

Here I was roaming on the beach at 5'o clock in the morning.

Some might call me idiot as today is my wedding and it will be a hectic day. Instead of sleeping, here i

am roaming on beach early in the morning.

But i am not feeling sleepy as i am still not ready for this marriage but here i am going to be someone's

husband for rest of my life.

To clear my mind, i came out of the hotel and started roaming on the shore of the ocean...

It is very calm atmosphere here. There is still darkness everywhere as sun is still not rise. Not many

people are roaming as it still dark.

I am walking continuously when I hear someone's voice, actually sweet voice!!!

I looked around and saw a girl far standing in the water. In one hand, she had her slippers and in other

her phone while having ear plugs in her ears listening music, i guess and repeating the lyrics loudly.

I was gazing her trying to see her face while standing on my spot.

She started laughing suddenly and after sometime i realised that she is actually talking with someone

over the phone.

And most probably singing the song for the person.

Absurd thing it is!!! Who do that???

Crazy!!!

Anyway i continued looking at her direction when she hissed in pain suddenly and started walking. But

she was unable to i guess some issue in her leg.

Then she moved towards the rock, dropped the slippers on the ground while opening the flash light of

her phone and started examining her leg. For a minute, light flashed on her face and i got to see her

face.

Beautiful and innocent!!! These two words came in my mind...

She was trying to figure out her injury but unable to do so with one hand as other hand was gripping

the phone to show flash light.

She tried multiple times only to face failure.

I moved towards her side to announce my presence and help the lady.

"Can i help you, miss" i asked politely.

She got startled with my presence as she didn't expected anyone.

She glanced at me but unable to do so due to the darkness.

"Thank you, but i will manage" she refused politely.

"But i think you have tried multiple times, yet u r not able to do so" i stated the fact

"You were stalking me" she asked in a shocking voice

"No, i was passing by and noticed you miss" i said calmly

"Ohh!!! It’s okay i will manage!!! My hotel is nearby, i will take care there" she said while standing up

from the rock and took one step forward only to winced in pain.

"I think you won't be able to walk, I can help you. Trust me!!! I will leave after helping you" I said while

trying to assure her.

"Okay" she said unsurily

I moved forward while closing the distance. I stood in front of her.

She passed me phone to show her light and started examining her foot.

I saw one thorn pierced her foot. She tried but unable to do so.

"May i??" I offered.

She looked unsure but eventually agreed.

I bent down on one knee while giving her back her phone and slowly touched her foot and placed it on

my knee.

She has a small black peck on her toe. I touched that unconsciously.

Cutee mole!!!

She shivered when i touched. Then i gripped her foot to see her wound.

She hesitated when i touched her but didn't said anything. And then i focused on the job.

"Do you have any pin???" I asked her while glancing at her face

"Will it work??" She asked while pulling a hairpin from her hairs.

I nodded and started again.

Finally thorn plucked out from her skin. I put pressure on the affected area with my thumb to stop

bleeding.

After that i stood. She also did the same.

After talking her belongings, she turned to my side.

"Thank you, i need to go. Its late. Thank you once again" she acknowledged

"Its okay" i said while she moved to her hotel back.

I looked at her retreating figure.

Then i also started moving towards my hotel when i saw something on ground.

It was an anklet and it belongs to her as i noticed it on her sometimes back.

I picked up and kept it in my pockets and moved to my room.

Present

I am almost sure that she is the one whom i met 4 yrs back in Goa.

Although i saw her once that too not properly but her face was imprinted on my mind.

The thing is today i saw a completely different version of her.

That day she was totally in western look and today Indian. And she was bubbly and cute then, now she

is mature.

But People change within a short time span and it's more than 4 years. Anyway leave it, she will be

only doll's mother nothing else if things happen.

I looked at the anklet on my hand. Don't know why i keep it with me all these years.

I kept it back and moved outside the closet only to see doll on my bed. She was trying to keep milo on

my bed.

"Doll noo!!!" I screamed.

She looked at me and asked "what daddy"

"Don't keep milo on bed" i asked

"Why???" She asked

I tried to came up with the excuse and said "doll, it's sleeping time. So, let milo sleep on his own bed

and you sleep on my bed with me"

Luckily, she keep milo on ground who ran out of the room.

I moved to my bed and lay down while picking doll in my arms.

"Daddy, what was angel doing with you? Do you know her??" She asked me.

"Yes doll, i know her" i answered politely.

"Daddy, can we bring her at our home. She is so sweet and i want to play with her" she asked sweetly

"Doll, did you like her that much??" I asked her because doll never got attached with any outsider that

easily.

"Yeess, daddy!!! Tell na will you bring her to me so that i can playy with her" she again asked

"Yes doll, i will. Now sleep" I said while tucking her in bed.

"Yeeee, yipeee!!!" She said screamed excitedly.

Next Morning

"Bro" Kunal came in my room when I was getting ready for the meeting, simultaneously talking with my

secretary to check last minute preparation for the meeting.

I signalled him through eyes to keep quite for 5 mins.

After cutting the call, i asked him what happened.

"Vo, actually sister-in-law gave me this letter to give it to you" he said while showing me a letter

"Who sister-in-law?" i asked as i am clueless whom he is referring

"Payal SIL, who else" he said annoyingly

"She is not your SIL yet!!!" I said sternly

"But she will be, I like her very much!!!" He said

"Leave it, I am getting late for meeting. You give it to me" I said while taking the letter from his hand.

Now what is this???

Love letter??? I chuckled at my own thought. Na!!! She won't do that.

Might be some more demands from Ms.highness. I kept it in my file as I will read it in office.

At office

"Lisa, keep these files in the back shelfs as these are not of use for now" I said to my Secretary.

Well Lisa is one of those women who can throw themselves at me. But she knows if she even tried to,

it would not take me a second to throw her out.

Initially, she tried to but I didn't gave her that attention coz I don't mix my professional and personal life.

And I won't tarnish my imagine by fu*king her.

I warned her once and she stopped her acts. I would have thrown her out if she was not so efficient in

her work.

Lisa collected the file from table and kept it in the shelf.
