Bound by Vows

Chapter-43

Payal’s POV

"We should play 10 questions to kill the boredom" i said when i started getting bored.

Its been two days since our confession... Life is being good with him...His flirty ways have reached to

another level these days.

Currently, he is busy in his work in home office and he dragged me along to accompany him though i

denied but whom i am joking.

He has been super busy these days... Even after working whole day in office.

he is doing work from home too.

"Are we kid? And have you seen the time...its 11:15 in the night..." He asked amusingly.

"No..but i am getting bored here from last 1 hour while you're busy in your laptop...either play with me

or i am leaving" i said.

"Ok...fine... you ask me first?" He said.

"Okay but before that i will tell you rules...okay?" I asked

"Go on" he said.

"If i ask the question, you will answer first...then for that i will answer too...and next turn will be yours,

for that i will answer first, then you...and like this we shall go on..." I paused.

"You cannot ask any question linked to the previous one...each and every question should be

unique...." I said.

"Fine" he said.

"No uncomfortable question...i will have the choice to abort the question..." I said.

"No...its not fair...and there is no such things like uncomfortable between couples..." He said.

"But.." i started.

"No if and buts...i will not ask you any uncomfortable question...okay?" He said.

"Okay. My first question is your happiest moment?" i said.

"When i picked doll for the first time in my hands" he said with a sweet smile on his face.

"Definitely...it must be..." I said smilingly.

"Now tell me your happiest moment?" He asked.

"When i got my first job...as teaching was something i always dreamt of...so..." I said recalling that day

because it was something good i heard after too many bad news.

"Hmm...now my turn...so the question is your age?" he asked.

"Like seriously? You don't know how old i am?" I asked him shocking with this fact.

"I don't know that’s why asking you...now do you want to play or i shall go back to work?" He warned

me.

"Okay.. okay...i am 26" i said hiding my smile.

"I am 29..." He informed which i already knew...i nodded my head

"Your turn" he said.

"Your favourite colour?" I asked the first question which came in my mind.

"Payal are we going to ask such useless questions? Like seriously?" He asked.

"Ohho, didn't your question was useless? Well i have asked you na then answer it" i said.

"Okay...but first come here...sit beside me" he said.

"Why?" I asked raising my brows.

"You're sitting so far...so i am unable to listen you properly" he said amusing me.

"Okay..." I said and sat beside him on sofa.

"Now answer" i said.

"Black" he said which i already expected.

"Mine differs for every occasion...but i hate yellow and pink colour" i said.

"Okay..." he said.

"My turn...tell me about your first kiss?" He asked while my eyes widened.

Pervert guy!!!

"Another question... I won't answer..." I said.

"No you can't ignore...its just a simple question... you need to open up with me girl..." He said coming

closer to my side.

"Hmm..." I said looking down.

"Now tell me..." He said.

"It was when i was in 7th standard...one guy from my school who was in 9th standard called me in a

ground after school...He was my neighbour so i thought it was okay to go..." I paused.

"Then?" He asked giving his whole concentration to me.

"I went there and he said i love you by kissing me" i said but he interrupted me.

"Where did he kissed you?" He asked urgently.

"Leave it where he kissed...guess what i did?" I asked him.

"Hmm...you punched him?" He asked....

"No...in actual i was such a dumbo...i didn't knew what he meant...i cried after hearing his confession. I

ran to my papa and told him everything. He asked me whether i like him?" I paused.

"What you said?" He asked.

"I said yes..." I said but he again interfered.

"What? You liked him??" He asked in shock.

"Ohho, let me complete first...i said i like him but as a brother..." I completed

"Ohh..." He said.

"So papa told me to convey it to him...So, on next rakshabandhan, i went to his house and tie him rakhi

while saying "i love you too bhaiya (brother)" i completed.

He laughed hard while holding his stomach.

"Ohh god Payal... you're hilarious...i am glad you cleared him...now tell me where did he kissed you?"

He said and ended with the same topic.

"Why does it matter where did he kissed me? But if you want you guess where it would be?" I asked

him.

"Li...cheeks?" He guessed. But why do i feel like he was about to say lips.

"Well yes...he kissed me on my cheeks" i said.

"I am glad he did that" he said circling his arm around my waist.

"Now your turn tell me?" I said.

"Well it was when i was 14 yrs old...i kissed my classmate from school" he completed while i felt a little

burning in my heart.

"Okayy...so next question is your biggest fear?" I asked.

He thought for a while, then answer.

"A truth which is hidden in layers.... I don't want it to come out and hurt mom" he said while thinking

deeply.

Truth? What truth? And how it will hurt mummy? I am confused.

"What truth?" I asked impatiently.

"I guess you forgot the rules you can only ask me one question and I have already answered that...so

it's your turn now" he said making me regret to make such rules.

"My biggest fear is to lose my loved ones..." I said.

"Okayy...but any specific reason for this?" He asked.

"I guess you forgot the rules you can only ask me one question and I have already answered that...so

now your turn...ask me?" I said repeating his words.

"Did you ever watch any p*rn? If yes what was your reaction?" He asked making me disgust at this..

"Eww...you have such a dirty mind Kabir...i will not answer you that..." I said getting away from him.

"Why? Its common question and i will not judge you by your answer...i promise" he assured me but i

feel shy to answer it.

"Please tell na..." He insisted again.

"Hmm...i...i did...but for once only...it was just the peer pressure nothing else...i was too naive till 12th

standard...that i used to made a blank face when my friends used to talk about it...so one of my friend

made me watch it...and my reaction was i was disgusted with it...but lateron i realised it common

nothing disgusting..." I paused.

"Hmm..." He nodded.

"And in my opinion there should be awareness programs for this in schools so that our young

generation would know what is it... what do you think?" I asked his opinion.

"Very true..." He gave his affirmation.

"Now your turn..." I said.

"Well it was common for us...i actually didn't gave any reaction after watching it...it was actually m-" he

said while i stopped him.

"Don't go into detail...i got your answer" i said as i am in no mood to hear these types of things.

He laughed at me.

"Now my turn...so my question is your first foreign trip?" I asked.

"It was london when i went there for my higher studies..." He said while i was amazed as i didn't knew

that he studied aboard.

"That's nice...i was not aware of this fact...so before this you never went abroad not even for any

vacation?" I asked as he is quite rich so i thought he must have.

"Taking interest in my life wifey? Is it?" He asked teasingly with raised brows.

"Are you going to tell me or i should answer mine?" I said with pout.

"Okay wifey..." He said giving me a peck on my pouty lips making me widen my eyes.

"Well...we were not that rich if you think like that... it was after i joined business... we raised our

business to another level as dad got support in form of me...dad worked hard day and night to feed us

all but in all these he lost many things..." He said deeply in thoughts.

"You admire papaji a lot...Right?" I asked him.

"Yes i used to..." He said keeping his face plain but my mind focused on two words used to.

I think there is something between them...i wanted to ask but then i am aware about his anger for this

particular topic...so i ignored it for now.

"My turn now...well i have never been to any foreign land" i said.

"Okayy...which is your dream destination?" He asked me.

"I have always been wanted to go to France" i said.

"Okay...i will keep that in mind" he said while i got confused.

"Why?" I asked but he shrugged.

"Your turn now...ask?" I said coming back to the game.

"Have you ever done something which you regret? If yes, what was that?" He asked making me think

about it.

"Well i have taken many impulsive decisions in my life which i really regret...and one of them is...was

telling a lie to my papa" i said thinking the things i did just to prove my point. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Hey you okay?" He asked wiping my tear which made me realise i was crying.

"What happened?" He asked taking me in his arms which made more tears to fall.

"Its okay... don't cry, it was in your past..." He said cooing me.

"Ye...yes...but i...i really regret many decisions i took in past. And it hurts me too much Kabir..." I said

with hiccups.

"Nobody is perfect in this world love...you at some point of your life do mistakes...but the biggest think

is what you learn from your mistake and never repeat it..." He explained making my heart swelled with

warmness.

I cannot ask for anything more...He is such an understanding guy.

I composed myself...its all in the past Payal...see the brighter side...you have a beautiful family now...i

thought.

I detached myself from his arms and looked at his shirt which is at my eye level.

"I am sorry i just ruined your shirt" i said removing the stains of my kajal on his shirt.

"Do you really care about these stains?" He said holding my palm in his hand.

"Hmm...no" i said shyly.

"Okay my turn...i regret for saying yes to the marriage" he said making my heart stop.

"Do...do you regret marrying me Kabir?" I asked him.

"No sweetheart...i am talking about my marriage with that bitch...Sanjana" he said with clenching jaw.

I released the breath which I didn't knew i was holding.

"Oh...okay" i said not knowing how to react...its the first time he talked about his ex wife.

"Now your turn...tell me?" He said coming back to the topic.

"Hmm...your first girlfriend?" I asked before i realised what i said.
