Tainted Love by Maniah (i love reading TXT) 📖

Many times I have noticed people following me to my house, if it was not because of Mr and Mrs Gill, I didn't know how I would have managed to live alone. They supported me like any family member would have done.

Nine months pregnant,  my baby could come anytime now.  I was happy and nervous as well, I really miss my mother and wish that she would have been here but no, she barely calls me now.  I understand her pain and suffering but did she not understand mine? Didn't she care how I would manage alone or how am I living on my own but now at least I was not worried about them anymore? They are earning well and living a good life. 

I was reading and making a lesson plan for my upcoming assignment when the doorbell rang. I stood up and checked through the peephole, it was Mrs Gill.

I opened the door "Mrs Gill…"

"Vani, I am leaving for the market. Do you need something from there?"

"No, I am…" I was saying but suddenly a sharp pain shooted down in my belly. I touched it and closed my eyes in pain "ah.!!!"

"Vani? What happens?"

"Ahh! Mrs Gill…" I gripped the door for support and screamed in pain. I felt sudden wetness in my pyjamas. 

"Oh, God! Vani, take deep breaths. I am calling Mr Gill. Don't worry I am here."  She helped me to the sofa and helped me with it. "Where is your maternity bag? Mr Gill is coming in ten minutes."

"In my room…" I whispered and screamed again when the sharp pain hit me.

"Sit here and keep taking deep breaths," saying that she went to my room running and came back with my maternity bag. Her cell phone rang "yes Mr Gill, I am coming with Vani." 

I couldn't walk, it was too painful for me, Mrs Gill called her husband inside and he picked me in his arms and took me to his car "try to calm down Vani, it will be alright," he said.

Within half an hour I was in the hospital,  I suffered labour pain for about Eighteen hours. Mrs Gill was sitting beside me till doctors said that I was ready to deliver the baby. I was really grateful for Mr and Mrs Gill. 

The pain I suffered for my baby was worth it, because when I saw him first, I knew that I could walk on fire for him.  Love. It had a different name and with different relations. One could never compare one love with another but the love of a mother with her child was the purest of them all. Today when I held my baby in my arms I felt the purest form of love. It knows no bounds…

"Have you decided any name for the baby Vani?" Mrs Gill asked me when she came to see me after the delivery. 

I smiled seeing the baby boy in my hand "the priest said the name should start from 'G'," she informed me.

I nodded at them "Granth," I named my baby Granth. Mrs Gill smiled at me "a beautiful name Vani. Very beautiful name." 

I kissed my baby, tears pooled in my eyes when I kissed him but  I was shocked when my eyes went to his hand. It had the same birthmark Mrityunjay had.

I wish you were here Mrityunjay. I wish you were holding our baby in your arms. I wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled at Mrs Gill when she took Granth from me.

"Granth, Granthu…" She was making baby voices and playing with him. I was resting as my body was still in pain. It was when the doctor entered inside.

"How are you feeling now Miss Kashyap?" He asked me.

"Fine doctor." 

"Good, you will be discharged tomorrow, be careful with your body for a month Miss Kashyap. And also we need to know the details for the birth certificate of your baby." 

I clutched the bedsheet tightly in my fists, Mrs Gill looked my way and came to me "yes doctor tell me what you need to know?"

"Name of the baby?" 

"Granth Sehgal," I told him, he wrote it down. 

"Name of his father?"

"Mrityunjay Sehgal," I told him, he wrote it down as well and gave me the birth certificate, smiled at me and left.

I was reading the birth certificate, the name Mrityunjay Sehgal was eyeing me. It was the least you could do for your baby Mrityunjay. 

"So I was right Vani,  you are really a divorce?" Mrs Gill asked.

I looked at her and only nodded. I didn't accept or deny anything, let them think anything they want but I won't allow my shame to revolve around my Child. 

Granth will have a respectable life, I promised myself.

I know you all are angry, but I have many problems as a student. You see currently I have a tight schedule as a student. The whole day I am taking online classes and submitting assignments. When I said that. I would be updating thrice a week I thought I would be able to do that. But I couldn't because of the sudden change in my schedule. And now when I have an opportunity of lifetime I don't want to lose it because I didn't prepare well. 

Guys I am trying. I have two options whether I put the story on hold or update it slowly. I chose the second option so if you think you can manage to wait then thank you for your support but if not. Than am sorry I can't do anything about it.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Stay safe and stay healthy.
