Tainted Love by Maniah (i love reading TXT) 📖

I took the card from her and was about to leave but my hand bumped with one of the shopping bags and it fell down on the floor. The velvet box inside it opened and a beautiful necklace fell out of it. I eye it, it was just like the same necklace Mrityunjay gave me last month. "Sangeeta, it's an expensive necklace, where did you get the money…" I started the question but before I could complete it Sangeeta yelled at me in anger.

"Oh hello! I have money of my own alright. Just because I asked you to pay for the dresses and the spa doesn't mean I don't have money. Don't forget I paid for your father's operation. You know what Vani, just get out from here."

"And I paid you back Sangeeta, every single penny. Don't forget that too. I have paid my debt. Goodbye," I said and left from there.

After settling in the car, I asked the driver to take me home. I just want to sleep. I don't understand why Sangeeta was behaving like this, and I did not want to think about it anymore. By the time I reached home, I just wanted to sleep. I was tired and my head was aching badly so I closed my eyes to sleep, it was already nine in the evening but my phone started ringing. I sighed and checked out the caller ID. "Mother, why is she calling me this late?" A sudden fear engulfed me. I prayed for my family and picked the call.

"Mother…" I greeted her. My heart was racing too fast. "Mother is everything alright? Do you need more money? Mother…?"  I asked anxiously but my mother was still silent. 

"Mother please say something?" I said and the answer I got from her snatched the earth under my feet "no Vanya! I don't need any more money."She was crying, I know that because her voice sounds heavy.

"Vanya, not Vani!"

 "Mother…" I closed my eyes, tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Why Vani, why?  How selfish I am, I didn't even ask what work you do, I am sorry Vani, I am not a good mother. I have no right to stay alive…" she cried sobbing, I gulped the heaviness in my throat "mother, please don't cry. Please. It's not what you are thinking."

"Don't lie to me, Sangeeta told me enough. I am not a good mother Vani, how could I not see it. How could I not see it? My innocent daughter was suffering and I was smiling and laughing here." 

I fisted my hand tightly, Sangeeta how low she could stoop. Mother was crying and sobbing, cursing herself. "Mother, please don't cry. I am fine absolutely fine,"

"My daughter! I am sorry Vani, I am ashamed of my selfishness, I failed you Vani…" she kept saying this again and again. 

"Mother please listen to me, I am fine. Mother, it's not what you are thinking," I tried but she was sobbing badly.

"Mother, I am in love with him. I love him mother, Mrityunjay never treats me with disrespect. He is not a bad man mother,  he is the most beautiful man I have ever met. Don't cry ma! I am happy here." 

"Vani...what do you mean you are happy?" She asked, stunned by my words.

"Mother, I am…" I was about to tell her about my pregnancy but stopped myself. This is not the right time to tell her and I want to share this news with Mrityunjay first.  "Mother, I am fine. I promise I am happy here, I will tell you everything. I will come to meet you soon mother, don't worry about me," I said and she was silent.

"Vani…" she whispered "come back, please. Come back." 

"I can't mother, not anymore. I have come too far to come back. It's not possible anymore." I whispered and she sobbed "I am sorry, Vani."

"Don't be mother, I have found my wings with Mrityunjay, he is everything for me now. The most beautiful person I have ever met Mother. He is selfless, caring and respectful, I can't even think about leaving him," I told her, touching my belly.

Mother was still crying but after some time she stopped crying and listened to what I was saying. I told her everything about Mrityunjay, how he treats me. I told her how good and polite he was. But I didn't know that my envelope of happiness was about to be ripped open. Instill couldn't believe it was him who called me names. The man I used to see as my knight in the shining armour would become the reason for my sorrows.

His words cut me off when I told him I was pregnant. The bliss I was in burst open. It hurts even thinking about him anymore. The pain was so sharp it felt like someone had cut my body in two with a sharp knife.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and stood up from the bed. Sometimes memory could make your heart bleed.  Now, my life revolves around my child only. He or she would be the centre of my Universe. My past was over and from now on I would live for my future. For my baby. For us.

I have my final year exam today,  I did all the household chores before leaving for my examination. I am no longer Vanya who sold her body for money. Now I am Vani Kashyap, a respectable woman in the society.
