Tainted Love by Maniah (i love reading TXT) 📖

 "I came with my aunty, she is talking with my uncle and I saw you so I came here…you will come to my home again right, I have saved a pastry for you." 

Before Mrityunjay could speak Mr Gill came to the other "Gunnu, I told you to stay with us," he lightly scolded Granth and turned toward Mrityunjay and the people in the meeting "I apologize for this Mr Sehgal.

" He is my friend Uncle," Granth interrupted Mr Gill, he turned towards Mrityunjay and gestured to him to come closer to him with his little hand. 

Mrityunjay leaned down towards Granth who kissed him on the cheek. 

Everyone in the meeting gasped seeing their boss who they consider heartless being kissed by a three-year-old child. Mrityunjay glared at them in anger and nodded at Granth, "I am busy now Granth…" he said to Granth. 

"I apologize again, Mr Sehgal…" Mr Gill said and turned to leave but  Miss James, the Architect of the Sehgal group of companies smiled at Granth. She couldn't stop herself from touching Granth's cheek in affection 

"You are so cute…here have this almond chocolate," she said, pulling out nutty chocolate for Granth. 

"No, madam. He is allergic to Almonds…" Mr Gill told her and left with Granth. 

 Mrityunajay's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe it, Granth was allergic to Almonds just like him. Was this some kind of trap? He glanced at Granth who was leaving with Mr Gill. 

This allergy was hereditary with Mrityunjay from his mother's side. His mother had the same allergy and to he was born with this allergy.  How was this possible! This was too much for him to take in. "The meeting is over," he stood up and left.

Is this possible...but how could it be? No the child could not be mine, it was impossible.  The question was making him insane. There was only one way to find out and he was going to find the answer to this question. He picked his car key and left to find the answer.

It didn't take him too much time to reach Vani's House, he was going to do this even if he had to force her to do that. He was about to open the door of his car to get out when he saw Granth getting out of his house with a football in his hand. He ran towards the park. 

Mrityunjay stepped out of his car and walked towards Granth. His eyes went to the group of children who went to another side of the Park seeing Granth. Granth was playing alone with his ball...Mrityunjay fisted his hand in anger and stopped near Granth 

"Hello, Granth."

Granth who was sad that no one was playing with him but when he saw Mrityunjay, his eyes shone like diamonds "Friend…" he left the football and hugged his legs.

Mrityunjay was feeling uncomfortable with this child, he couldn't word the feeling inside him but they made him uneasy. 

Mrityunjay untangled Granth and sat to his level "Why are you playing alone? Don't you have any friends?" He asked.

Granth fisted his hands, his lips thinned and brows pulled together...for a moment Mrityunjay saw himself in Granth, this can't be possible! He couldn't wait anymore to know the answer to this nagging question.

"I have Khush Bro but he went to tuition and no one plays with me," he said in a breaking voice. "Will you play with me?" Granth asked Mrityunjay.

"Yes but first you have to come with me and then we will eat your favourite Ice Cream…" 

"Wait let me ask Mumma first…" Granth said.

"No, we will surprise Mumma just like yesterday."  Granth giggled showing his small milky white teeth `` Okay…" Mrityunjay held Granth's hand and took him to his car.

He settled him on the back seat with a seat belt tied around his waist. After twenty Minutes Mrityunjay Sehgal was standing inside a private clinic and had already made the doctor sign a Non-disclosure agreement. 

"We need the child's Cheek Swab for the test Mr Sehgal," The Doctor told Mrityunjay, Who nodded in agreement. While Granth was looking at everything with piquing interest.

"Granth, can you open your mouth for the doctor," Mrityunjay asked, Granth's brows frowned "but why Friend?" 

"Because I want to kill the bad germ in your mouth Granth!" The doctor smiled at Granth who opened his mouth and did as the doctor asked him to do.

On the other hand, Vani was crying, she was losing her mind when she found her son missing from the park. Mr and Mrs Gill we're trying to find out where did Granth went. Vani asked the children who were playing in the park, a child told her that some men came and he took Granth with him. 

Vani loses consciousness hearing that...Mr Gill took Vani inside her house and Mrs Gill was trying to ask the child more about the man who took Granth with him.

"How much time will it take for the result to come?" Mrityunjay asked.

"By tonight you will get the result, Mr Sehgal." He informed Mrityunjay.

"Send it to me on my personal Number." He ordered and took Granth back to his house. "Granth, don't tell Mumma about it, this is our secret. I want to surprise your mother tomorrow." 

Granth put his little finger on his lips "it's our Secret." He agreed. Granth was back in the park within half an hour with a chocolate ice cream. "Goodbye Granth." Mrityunjay waved his hand and drove away to his home.

For the first time, Mrityunjay Sehgal was being Impatient for something. He just wanted to get it over with. This matter has shaded enough of his time and mind. He took a shower and dressed up for the Party he had to attend with his Aunty. He was dressed in his black customized tailored suit with a contrast Red tie and hand-sewn black shoes. Mrityunjay Sehgal likes to do everything with perfection and class. Exactly at seven Dhigraj came to Mrityunjay.

 "Sir, Mrs Raichand Is here…" 

He nodded at his PA and walked out towards his car, Dhigraj opened it for him when his Aunt's PA stopped him.
