Bound by Vows

Chapter-6

Kabir’s POV

"Kabir, i think you should also leave now. It's 11 p.m. We are already done with our work. I am sure this

deal will be ours tomorrow" Rohit said while closing his laptop.

We are working on our presentation day & night from last few days and tomorrow will be the decider

who will win this deal.

"Yeah, I will read the final Draft at home" I said while standing up & wearing my coat.

We reached the parking lot where we will separate our ways.

"We will directly meet at Singhal's office at 10:00 a.m. See you tomorrow, good night" if informed to

rohit to which he nodded.

After reaching home, I freshen up & picked up the file to study it.

But before that, I moved to doll's room which is adjacent to my room only to saw her sleeping

peacefully.

Although she is only 3, she mostly sleeps in her room only. Sometimes come to my room or sleep with

my mom.

I smiled looking at her innocent face. Due to my work, I am not able to give my attention to her and I

really regret it. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

I bend to kiss her forehead and after adjusting her blanket I moved to my study room.

After 1 hour

A knock on my door divided my attention from my work.

Mom came near me and started rubbing my forehead in a motherly love.

"Mom, why are you still awake" I asked her while reading file.

"I just came to check on aashi and saw your study room's light on. So just came to check you also"

mom informed.

I nodded my head.

"Why are you stressing yourself that much Kabir? Sometime think something else other than work also"

ma asked in an accusing tone.

"Mom I love my work & you know that" I told her.

"I agree, but what about your personal life. In my opinion you should think for a marriage again. Aashi

also needs a mother. Think about her also" mom suggested.

"Have you seen the time mom. It’s 1 in the night. And what about this fucking marriage crap. Did you

not see what I am today, is because of that fucking marriage only. And as far as doll is concerned, she

doesn't need any mother. Her father is there with her always" I shouted at her after loosing my calm.

Mom only nodded her head.

"And please, you go & sleep. I have an important meeting tomorrow" I told her indirectly to leave the

room.

I am already stressed about his deal & above this that marriage crap again.

Mom left with the tears in her eyes. I feel bad but again moved to my work.

Next Day at Singhal's office

It’s currently a break for half an hour after which decision will be announced by Mr Singhal.

We have already presented our presentation & we hope for the best.

"This deal would be mine and you will be always a loser in front of me" someone told me from behind.

I know the face very well without even turning.

I turned and said in a calm manner "we will see who is the loser in a while"

"Tch tch tch, why don't you accept your failure and accept the fact that I am always the winner be it now

or 3 years back" he announced.

"You Fucking shit of a bastard" I was about to punch him but Rohit stopped me.

"He is trying to instigate you. Calm down Kabir" Rohit told me.

I calm myself immediately. I looked at Sagar who is watching us with a grin face.

"You should thank your stars!!! that we are here, otherwise you would be 6 feet below the ground till

now" I warned.

He grinned & then left.

Bastard!!!

In the conference room

"After looking the presentation of both the parties, we have decided to give this deal to Khurana

Industries" Mr Singhal announced.

A sign of relief came on my face and I turned my famous wicked smile towards Sagar.

The pain of rejection on his face gave me satisfaction.

Rohit gave me a bro hug & congratulates me.

Mr Singhal came & congrats me doing a handshake.

"Mr. Khurana, I have organised a party in the evening for celebrating our partnership. So you & your

team is cordially invited" Mr Singhal invited me.

"Thank you Mr Singhal, I ll definitely come" I acknowledged him.

I turned towards Sagar to mock him. But he already left. But don't worry I will fulfil my desire in the

party tonight. I grin while thinking about the party.

My whole day spent in office while working. I told my driver to bring my clothes for party here only.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you everyone to come & grace your presence here. This party is for the

new partnership between Singhal's & Khurana's. Cheers & enjoy the party" Mr. Singhal announced

while raising the toast.

Party is going on in full mood. I was having my drink discussing business with some big shots in the

business world. Rohit is not present here due to some personal work of his. And Kunal ditched me.

This boy. Don't know why he is not interested in business.

My eyes fell on Sagar who was talking with someone.

I excused myself & made my way towards him. How can I leave him alone without giving him a piece of

shit.

"My my look who is here, the biggest loser on this earth" i announced arrogantly

Sagar glared me angrily.

"Cat hold your tongue now. In morning, what were you saying!!! Yeah something like I am always the

winner" I mocked.

"Yo-" he started but cut by another voice.

"Hii Baby!!!" She announced while clutching his arms.

I stiffened by hearing her voice. His face light up after seeing her.

"Hey darling, I was waiting for you" he said while pulling her closer by her waist.

"Oh, I didn't knew you had a company" she said addressing me with a smirk on her face.

Bitch!!!

"Kabir, long time no see" she said to me while I clench my jaw.

"Babe, I was just reminding him that what he lost during these years. Right Kabir" he said while

grinning.

"What have I lost. I don't think I have lost something. And on the second note I don't even like used

goods" I said directed to her.

I know I said cheap words but she deserves it.

"You" She raised her hand to slap me as I insulted her.

"Don't even think to do this" I said while holding her hand in my tight grip.

I jerked her hand & left to bar for drink.

My mood turned sour after looking her.

I was trying to reach my room balancing on my feet. I somehow reached the stairs but tripped on my

foot resulting in fall. But Kunal saved me on last minute.

"Bhai, careful" Kunal warned me.

"Kunalll, my brotherr" I said pinching his cheeks.

"Bhai, be quite, mom and dad will awake and will be upset after seeing you like this" he warned

"You know whatt Kunalll, never trust a girl the-" I murmured

Kunal put his hand on my mouth & guide me to my room by holding me from my shoulders.

I straight forward lay down on my bed & started again.

"She le..left m...me & doll. Why bro? Was i that baddd?? Was i... Was I not fulfill-inggg myy du-ty as

heeer husbannd" i asked in drunken state while one tear pour out of my eye.

"No bhai, she was not your worth. She gave importance to money more than family" he said.

I started closing my eyes.

"Please god, bring someone in my bhai's life who could love him & bring light with her in his life" I heard

Kunal murmured.

I opened my eyes releasing a headache. I sat up while clutching my head.

Looks like I drank a lot yesterday evening. But I don't remember anything. I remember coming to my

car & driver directed me towards main door. After that I don't remember. Fuck.

Recalling yesterday's night bring a sour feeling where I saw her after many months.

SANJANA...My ex-wife.

Yuck. Why am I thinking about that bitch in the early morning.

I look at the clock only to realise it’s noon. I overslept.

I woke up hurriedly to freshen up. Today is weekend that means no work. I can spend my day with doll.

I went downstairs looking for doll.

"Mom, where is doll" I asked mom who is sitting on sofa while watching something on television.

"She has gone to mall with your dad. You were sleeping and she was getting bored. So, your dad took

her with him" she informed me.

"Okay, fine" I said.

"You sit here, I will bring your coffee." she said while standing up.

I nodded & started checking my phone to pass time.

Mom came back with my coffee. I started drinking my coffee while picking up today's newspaper.

"I have started looking girl for your marriage" mom announced suddenly.

"What!!! I told you last time if am not getting married" I told sternly

What is this? A person cannot live in peace for one day.

"I am doing this for aashi. She needs mother's love. You always get busy in your work & she left behind

alone. We, me & your dad, also get old now. Don't know how much life is left. We want you happy with

your family" she said emotionally.

I rolled my eyes at her melodrama.

"Stop this nonsense. We don't need third person in our life. And all women are same. Bloody gold

digger & who-" I controlled my slang language as I don't want to swear in front of mom.

I picked up my coffee mug & left from there to my room as its no use to argue with mom.
