Tainted Love by Maniah (i love reading TXT) 📖

"Sir…" Mr Harris interrupted Mrityunjay but he stopped him, raising his hand in the air "this shoot is over…" Saying that he walked out of the class. 

Writer's POV:-

Mrityunjay Sehgal walked out of the class and sighed deeply, he gripped the iron grills tightly, his knuckles turned white "Vanya...Vani Kashyap." He chuckled at the irony of the situation. From an Escort to a school teacher, Nice transformation! 

"Sir, is Everything alright?" Dhigraj asked Him. Mrityunjay gave him a curt nod, "I had enough of this Advertising drama, tell Harris that I won't be wasting my time anymore, he would have to do with what he has shot till now." 

"But sir, Mrs Raichand…" 

Mrityunjay raised his hand to stop Dhigraj "I'll talk to her, now tell me, has the site manager found some new Site for our company or not?" Mrityunjay asked, he wanted to get back to his life instead of being stuck here.

"He has suggested some sites but…" 

Mrityunjay stopped and raised his brows "but, what Dhigraj?" He asked sharply.

"I don't think you will like the sites…" Dhigraj was saying but he got interrupted by the Principal of the School.  

"Mr Sehgal, it's so nice to meet you," She greeted him. Mrityunjay nodded at her "Thank you, Madam." 

"Hope you liked our School Mr Sehgal," she asked him smiling. 

Mrityunjay nodded again "it's nice, my grandfather would be happy to see that the administration is running smoothly here, you have maintained the discipline well here…" he told her. 

"Thank you, Mr Sehgal. It's Lunchtime already, I have arranged for the tea and some snacks," She started but Mrityunjay cut her off "I don't have time some other time probably…"

"Arh! Mr Sehgal, your grandfather called he wanted you to sign the visiting book here for the promotion of School on an individual level." 

Mrityunjay sighed but nodded "after you Madam." He said, gesturing to her to lead the way. The principal smiled and started walking towards her office. Once they reached her office he signed the Visitors book which was signed by famous personalities who had visited the School on many occasions. He wanted to leave immediately but couldn't because as a Sehgal he had an image to maintain. 

Mrityunjay nodded at her, it was just a cup of tea he could manage.  

The helper came with the tea tray and put it on the table "without sugar," Dhigraj told the helper who started making the tea. The helper was about to hand the Tea Cup to Mrityunjay when his cell phone started ringing. 

He gestured to the helper to put the Cup on the table while he checked the caller ID. Mrityunjay sighed seeing who was calling him. 

"Excuse me, but I have to take this call…" he stood up and walked out of the room. Accepting the call he put it on his ear "Yes Mother?" 

"Do you have any idea what they are up to now, Mrityunjay? They will snatch the chair of the Managing Director  from you, I am scared…" 

"Mother, I have told you many times do not stress over these minor things, now calm yourself…" he snapped at Indrani Sehgal. 

"Am just…" she sighed. 

"Goodbye Mother," he ended the call and was about to turn back towards the Principal office when his eyes went to a scene….

Vani was fidgeting her fingers in anticipation, with every passing second her fear turned into anxiety. She was scared for herself and her son. Till now no one knew about her past but now, with her past standing in front of her, what if someone comes to know about it. When she was alone it didn't matter what others would say about her but now, she was not alone. 

She has Granth to think about, her Three years old son. The innocent child was being harassed by others because of her past only. The past was not even known by others what if they would come to know!!

Facepalming herself she closed her eyes tightly, she wanted to erase the scene of meeting Mrityunjay Sehgal from her memory. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice that Mr Vaidhya was talking to her.

"Miss Kashyap…" he shook her hand a little to gain her attention. He was talking for about five minutes but now he noticed that she was lost in her thoughts. When he shook her hand she gasped, her eyes widened "What?" She was startled.

Mr Vaidhya gulped down the nervousness but finally managed to gain enough courage to say what he wanted to say for a long time "Miss Kashyap, I...I... it's just…" he was stuttering.

 "Yes, Mr Vaidhya?"  

He sighed in anticipation, Vani was looking at him with a frown "Miss Kashyap, I wanted to say this for a long time, you know that my wife died last year," Vani nodded, gesturing to him to continue.

 " I have a daughter of eight years old. Please don't take it in the wrong way Miss Kashyap but I like you, you see. After my wife died My daughter needed a mother figure in her life and I don't want some women who treat my daughter unfairly. I have met girls in the past months but I could not find the right girl…" Vani was stunned hearing Mr Vaidhya.

Why can't the problems just end in her life? "Look Mr…" she started but he cut her off  "No please listen to me, Miss Kashyap," he held her hand softly. Vani frowned, not liking him touching her, but she could feel that his touch was not disrespectful, "I know you are single and your son needs a father figure in his life as well, we could complete each other Miss Kashyap...please marry me!" He asked Vani.

Vani's eyes widened in horror before she could answer Mr Vaidhya. Her eyes went to the figure standing outside the door, Mrityunjay Sehgal!

"…We could complete each other Miss Kashyap...please marry me!" These were the words Mrityunjay heard, his eyes settled on the adjoining hands of Vani and Mr Vaidhya. He stared at their hands for a minute and then left from there without showing any emotion on his face.
