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!!!!
Nerve of this man!!! This man is certified idiot!!! How far is he thinking?? We are not married yet, and
he has gone to divorce directly!!!
Last but not the least even if we won't share a relationship of being a husband and wife, you will be
loyal to this marriage. Because I don't want a whore of a mother for my daughter!!!
This is ridiculous!!! Now, He is judging my character without knowing me...
He is not judging you!!! He is just presenting his conditions. My subconscious said
Still!!! This is offensive...
And Now if you agree to these conditions, then I am fine with the wedding. But let me warn you
beforehand, don't ever try to break any of these conditions!!!
My eyes would be on now always!!!

Kabir Khurana
I was still absorbing the words I have read!!! I am amused more than angry on this letter...
Are we kids who are discussing these conditions like this!!!
I looked towards Kunal who was waiting for my answer most probably expecting me to deny...
But what should I do??? I am still not convinced to say yes and how can I answer without meeting him
and also without sharing my side.
Since he is being honest with me from the start, i should also be the same with him.
I glanced at ma who was looking at me with expectation and the other two were also with the same
expression.
I gulped my saliva before declaring my decision.
"I... I am not ready!!!" I announced while looking down
I again glanced at everyone. Ma has a disapproving look while others are disappointed, I guess!!!
"It's Okay child, we underst-..." Aunty started saying which I cut in between
"I mean to say that I am not ready yet!!! I need one day time to think. Also, I would like to meet him
once before announcing my final decision" i declared surely.
Everyone's eyes started shining with hope and small smile erupt on everyone face.
"That's wonderful news, you should take your time and as far as meeting with Kabir is concerned, we
are okay with it" this time uncle announced with a warm face.
I smiled and thought how to share my past with him. One side is Ma's promise which is bounding me to
zip my mouth and other side is my honesty before entering into new relationship.
I again glanced at Kunal and gave him back his letter.
He took it with a small smile...
"Thank you so much bhab--, oops sorry!!!" He was about to refer me as his sister in law which I am not.
"But you will be in near future" my subconscious states...
"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.
