Bound by Vows

Chapter-16

Payal’s POV

I was standing in the middle of the room looking for my suitcase to change my dress.

I glanced around the room and found it in the corner. I moved to the corner and opened it looking for a

suitable night dress.

There must be my night suit pyjama top in the bag. But when i opened the bag, i saw a poly bag was

lying on the top of all clothes.

But i don't remember keeping it here. I picked it up and opened the bag to pull the content.

Oh my god!!! Who did this? I thought while widening my eyes as large as saucers.

It's a nighty which won't even cover me properly. There is a note also stating-

"A small gift from my side for your wedding"

PS:- Make jiju beg for you by wearing it. I am damn sure he would have to take long cold showers...You

know what i mean.

Now thank me later.

Your only friend

Sana

I will kill her!!! Sana ki bacchi.

I immediately keep the dress in the lower side of my suitcase. I took my simple night suit to wear it.

I was about to enter into the washroom to change but i heard the opening of room door.

I stopped and saw in that direction. He entered the room and closed the door with a thud.

Now what happened to him? Angry man.

He started taking steps towards my side while i stepped back involuntarily.

The more he come forward, the more i moved back. I stopped suddenly as there is no step back now i

am glued to the wall.

I looked into his eyes which were staring me.

"What" i asked annoyingly

He didn't replied anything but started decreasing the gap between us.

Now we have very little distance between us.

"What are you doing" i asked as i am feeling uncomfortable with this proximity.

"Don't you remember, today is our special night" he said while i widened my eyes with his words.

Is he mad??? Didn't he told earlier he will not consider me as his wife and won't give any rights. Now

why is he asking.

"Are you out of your mind" i screamed at him

He grabbed my waist with his hands and said "why are you shouting wifey, i am giving you only what

you want"

"What" i asked confusingly.

"Wifey, why are you looking confused. You were the only one who was giving me signals outside from

the time we got married" he stated while i am shocked and confused

"Leave me. I didn't give you any signal. Keep your eyes and mind open" i said while struggling to came

out of his grip.

"Then who was falling on me and touching my hands earlier" he asked referring to my falling on him

when i was coming out of car and touching his hand while playing game.

This man is certified idiot.

"What. It was unintentional. I didn't touched you or fall on you on purpose. Now leave me i have to go" i

said while screaming and pushed him with all my force.

Fortunately, he left my waist and i started moving to the bathroom to change.

But!!!

A sharp pull by my wrist bought me back to the wall. I hold my breath for a moment.

"what the hell" I cussed.

"Shh, baby girl" he exclaimed. I cringed with the endearment he used.

He brought his face near to my face. His breath is fanning all over my lips. It raised my heartbeat to a

different level. It must be heard by him also. His smirk face saying it all.

His eyes are gazing my lips and he started closing the small gap we have between our lips to be

mingled into one.

Sensing his intentions I closed my eyes & moved my face to the left.

He stopped right away & increase the gap between us which I really appreciate but the hold of his hand

on my wrist is very tight. It started paining me slowly.

"Now listen to me very carefully, we might be lawfully wedded husband & wife. But you are nothing to

me. I have only married you because of my doll" he said rudely to me.

I forcefully release my hand from his hulk like grip which resulted into breaking my bangles & a piece of

glass cut into my hand. It hurt me like hell.

There must be a big cut in my hand. Ignoring the pain in my hand.

I showed my other hand finger towards him and said "even I was not interested in this marriage. I am

kind of forced into this"

Which I am not, my subconscious mocked me. But I wont give him that satisfaction. Although I was not

forced but I had no other option than to accept this marriage.

"So now when feelings are mutual, I expect you not to interfere in my business & stay away from me"

he said rudely.

"I am not desperate to be with you" I exclaimed. Saying so I moved towards washroom so that I can

change into my nightwear from this heavy lengha.

Oh god why always me. Although I did not show it in front of him. But I was hurt with his words. Did he

thought so low about me that i would give him any signals.

Seriously!!!!

I hate him

A tear of frustration poured out of my eyes. One by one Niagara fall was running out of my eyes. Don't

know what is stored in my life ahead.

I stood in front of washbasin while splashing some water on my face and gazing my face into mirror.

I looked into my cut. It is a long cut while blood coming out of it. I moved my hand into tap to remove

blood and searched for first aid box.

I found it in the cabinet and pulled out one bandage and put it on my cut.

If he thinks, i am weak then i will prove him wrong.

With this thought, I picked up the towel and dried my face. Then started removing my makeup and

jewellery.

After coming out of my lengha i wore my night suit while picking up my accessories and dress in hands

moved out of the bathroom only to found it empty.

Great!!!

I looked around the room to find suitable place for sleep but couldn't found anything.

There is a sofa in the room but is one seater sofa suitable for sleep.

This rich man doesn't have any money to buy a couch for his room!!!

Since this man is not here, i have a whole bed for myself. And why should i sacrifice for anything.

I moved towards bed and lie down. Sleeps overpowers me immediately. After sometime, someone

shook me from the sleep. I opened my one eye to see the intruder.

He was standing in front of me while glaring. And point to be noted, he is shirtless.

Doesn't he have some shame?

And sometime back, someone told me i was trying to flirt with him. Now what is he doing by going

shirtless. I rolled my eyes at this. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He again shook me.

"Whattt" i asked annoyingly

"Getup from my bed" he ordered.

"Why would I" i asked annoyingly

"Because its mine. And you don't have any right to sleep over here" he asked while i am shocked with

his audacity.

"Then where will i sleep" i asked him

"Its none of my concern. Sleep on sofa or on the floor. I don't care" he said as if its not a big deal.

"I won't. If you have any problem, you can sleep there. And don't irritate me, i have to get up early in

the morning" i said while lying down and slept on my side giving him my back.

He muttered something but i don't care.

After sometime, i feel dip on the other side of the bed and i guess he also slept.

I felt some tickling on my hand as if someone is licking my fingers.

I tried to wake up from my deep slumber but still didn't open my eyes

He is still licking it.

Nerve of this man!!! I will kill him.

I immediately opened my eyes to gave him a slap but instead of him, i found a puppy licking my hands

which was waving in air. I must have dropped my hand while sleeping.

I hit my head. Seriously, you were thinking he is licking your fingers.

Ewww!!!

But dog!!! I didn't knew they had a dog.

I sat up straight, then glanced beside me where he is sleeping peacefully.

He looks innocent while sleeping but becomes devil after getting up.

I ignored him and turned towards puppy who is looking at me with his innocent eyes.

I slowly dropped on my feet while picking him up in my arms.

He is soo cutee!

He started licking my chin while i moved my hand for stroking his back.

I glanced at clock. Its 6:30 a.m. I will be late if i don’t start now to get ready.

I dropped the dog on the floor and picked up the saree from my bag before entering the bathroom.

After half an hour, i stepped out of the bathroom wearing saree.

I stand in front of the mirror and started doing my makeup.

I picked up the bangles matching with the saree, then applied kohl and bindi. Then put sindoor in my

hairline.

I started combing my hair when i feel strong gaze at me. I moved my eyes to see him gazing at me in

the mirror.

I turned towards him while he lowered his gaze and moved towards washroom.

I completed my look and moved out of the room.

I don't even know the room of aashi. Atleast i should have think about her last night but i was too

exhausted to think anything else.

But it won't happen again. I will keep that in mind.

With this thought, i stepped down the stairs to go downstairs.

I reached the living room which was empty but i hear voice of aunty from the distance.

I moved towards that direction.

I reached to the kitchen where aunty is instructing a lady maybe, maid.

I moved towards her.

"Good morning aunty" i said

"Arey, Payal beta. You are here before time. Good. And what did i tell you yesterday, call me mom not

aunty" aunty said while scolding me.

"Sorry mom, i don’t have a habit yet" i said

"Its okay beta. But today you have to make some sweet dish as a ritual and she is mita, our maid. She

will help you to find ingredients. I am going to giving your dad tea" she instructed while i nodded

"Mom, where is aashi's room. I have to wake her up also" i asked.

"Her room is adjacent to yours. And i will wake her up, you prepare the dish" she said politely.

I nodded my head and turned to do the task in hand.

Oh god, please help me i don't know how to make sweet dish.

I only know how to make basic food which is Dal, rice and chapati!!!
