A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 20: Stay here tonight

Vishal

I couldn't believe it in my ears, I felt like someone wiped out the land under my feet. Sunny? That stupid ass, he is the brother of my boss?!

Ohh, God!! What the heck did I do?!

I almost fought with my boss's brother, that too twice and that was the last thing I wanted before my chance of getting a promotion. Last chance, if I add.

Now, after knowing me I am sure, Sunny won't let it happen and why would he? After I called him so many things.

He must have been planning revenge on me.

Ughh!

I am in trouble, I better start finding a new job from tomorrow!

Snapping my thoughts away, I decided to check on Siya, it's not possible that even after days she hasn't seen my message, she is a bit stubborn but not that much that she will ignore me like this.

I tried her phone number several times and after a few beeps, it stopped ranging every time, leaving me with mixed emotions. Is she alright? Should I go back to Jaipur to see her?

I don't know what I should do!

Wait…

Sanaya! She must know what's going on, after all, she is Siya's cousin cum best friend. I called her and instantly she answered as I thought.

"Vishal! You called me after a long time!" She spoke.

"I know, I needed your help," I replied.

"Help? In what? And why is your voice sounding so depressed and tired?" She asked, worried yet concerned.

"Because I am, I don't understand why Siya isn't answering up my calls," I told her, sighing.

"Oh, Majnu is asking about her Laila...Huh? I was just wondering how you recalled me out of a sudden." She says with a hint of tease in her voice, I blushed for a moment, and thank God, no one is here to see me, "And don't worry, she must be busy with chores."

"Hope so, but can you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Yes, sure, anytime."

"Can you go to her house and check on her for me?"

"What? You don't know? She is not at home." She told me.

"Where is she then?" I asked, surprise.

"She is in Bangalore."

My eyes widened and my lips slightly opened up, So the girl whom I assumed Siya in the market was none other than her in the first place?! My guts were right, I knew it! I freaking knew it! But what was she doing with Sunny? It's all getting so confusing right now.

"What is she doing there?!" I almost yelled while questioning.

"Calm down, Vishal, why are you so surprised like you don't know anything."

"I am sorry but cut the shit, and explain to me in detail, why she is in Bangalore, is she alone or with someone?"

"She's married-" before I could hear what she was saying my phone switched off at the wrong time and I wasn't able to get the last word, 'She-Marry what?'

Shit!

Today is my life's worst day.

I walked towards my home along with my ruined mood, at least, Sanaya confirmed that Siya is here now all I need to find is where and with who.

When I reached home, I pulled out the keys as I fell onto the ground. I leaned down to pick them up when I saw a gift box in front of my door that I didn't notice cos of darkness.

Who left it here?

I grabbed to see what's in it as I found a small note attached to it which says, "Hope now you forgive me, Brother, I mean Vishal." I mumbled what was written on the note.

I quickly removed the wrapper from the box and found the exact dancing peacock inside of it that I bought for Siya.

Siya

I am too worried about Karan, he is not eating anything properly these days first I thought, it must be because of work pressure but now whenever I look at him and the stress on his face, it says somethingAll content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

else. I know he hates Rhea for some reason that I am not aware of but something more has happened between them that they're not showing up.

I sighed.

As I decided to check on Karan, I knocked on his door, even though it's 12 of the night, I am pretty sure he is still awake.

"Door is open." His super tired voice answered. As I thought, he is awake.

I pushed the door, finding him on his laptop and some papers messily spread on the bed next to him.

"Karan sa?" I called his name to catch his attention.

"Adah? Come inside, " He told me.

"Are you still working?" I ask.

"Yeah, I am almost done but what are you doing here at this hour?" He asked, looking up at me, confused.

"To see how you're doing. You seem too disturbed and worried these days that you are not even eating properly." I said, concerned about him.

He let out a sigh, " I am okay, don't worry, and I'm just not feeling like eating anything. " He explained.

"Are you sure? Is it something because of Rhea?" My question caught him off guard.

"No, and as I said don't worry about me, I am not a kid," That is all he said not rudely but weak and sleepy as he kneads his forehead.

"Karan sa, are you having a headache? Do I apply balm on it?" I asked, he looks at me for a second before nodding.

"Yes, that would be great." He says, putting away all the documents and his laptop.

I went to my room to grab the balm as I came back and walked towards him, "Can you lay down?"

He nods, doing as I said, he slowly closes his eyes, allowing me to continue. I took some balm and gently rubbed it on his forehead, doing a little massage as well in the process.

"It feels nice, " He says with a weak but genuine smile, enjoying it.

I smiled happily, at least, he is feeling better now after a while when I was done and I thought he fell asleep, I slowly got up from the bed, trying not to make any sound when I felt a grip on my wrist.

"Stay here tonight." He mumbled.

"But, how could I-" And before I could ask, he pulled me on the bed next to him as I ended up, stumbling on top of his body, making our faces just an inch apart from each other, I blushed hard, meeting his sparkly gazes staring straight at me with a smirk on his handsome face. I tried to get away from him when he jerked me more onto him, adjusting me in his arms like I am a small kitten which I am as compared to him.

"It wasn't a question but my order, Kitty." He whispered softly, spraying his hot breath on my hair before leaving a kiss on them.

"O-Okay," I gleamed, sensing the heat in my cheeks as we both fell into a deep slumber.
