Tainted Love by Maniah (i love reading TXT) 📖

Writer's POV:-

Mrityunjay kept staring at Vani's back while she walked out of his house. His hands fisted tightly in anger, A volcano of anger busting inside him but he controlled it. There was something different in her today, something he couldn't put his finger on but that didn't give her the right to keep the child away from him. 

Since he met Granth he felt a connection with him. Mrityunjay Sehgal has felt this connection with only one person before Granth but with Granth, the connection is far more stronger. 

Mrityunjay picked his phone and called Jay, "I want you to handle something for me…" he told Jay what he wanted to be done and ended the call. 

I won't let the child suffer because of you Vanya. Not again...

For a moment, Vani's legs shook in fear. She didn't know that what she was about to do was right or not. There was only one question that was making her inside crawl in fear. 

Would she be able to perform her wife duties with him? Her toe curls in anxiety. There was a catastrophe of emotions inside her but for her child, she put her fear aside and knocked on the door, It didn't open.

She understood the delay in opening the door, it was nine o'clock in the evening, She knocked on it again. Finally, the door opened and Mr Vaidhya opened the door.

He was wearing a white half-sleeved Vest, his fat belly showing off, he rubbed his glasses with his Vest and put them on his eyes.

 "Ms Kashyap…" he was shocked to see Vani standing at his door in this heavy rain. "Please come inside…" he said stepping aside.

Vani gulped and shook her head "Mr Vaidhya, does your offer to marry me still stand?" She asked him, her voice free of any emotion. 

Mr Vaidhya's brows cleared up, he was startled "yes, yes...Miss Kashyap," He answered.

Vani nodded "Then I accept your proposal but you have to marry me in two days and adopt my son as your own."

Mr Vaidhya touched her shoulder lightly, Vani jerked at his touch but Mr Vaidhya didn't notice it, "Of course, I would have done it anyway. I promise you won't regret it, Miss Kashyap." 

Vani forced herself to smile, she stepped back from his touch a little "Please do come in, this will be your house in two days, after all. You can see the rooms if you need to make any changes…"

Vani gulped again, her throat dried suddenly. She glanced at Mr Vaidhya's face, it was full of expectations. For a moment Vani lost her courage and just wanted to run away from him, from everything but then Granth's face, his smile came in front of her eyes. She clutched the strap of her bag tightly.

 "No, I will come here after two days," she told him and stepped back from his door. She walked as fast as she could from there. She was drenched in rain when she reached her home. Mrs Gill was still there, sitting in her living room. When she saw Vani she went towards her.

"Vani…" she gasped and ran to take the towel for her. She came back and dabbed the towel on her wet body to dry her off.  Vani was standing there without any emotion. Just numb over what she just accepted. 

Mrs Gill shook her a little, Vani glanced at her and broke into tears. Mrs Gill pulled her in her arms, they sat on the floor. Vani was sobbing in her arms, crying over her fate. 

"Vani, please tell me what happened? Tell me, please."

Mrs Gill held her face in her hands and wiped her tears "Tell me please." 

Vani gulped down "I am getting married to Mr Vaidhya, Mrs Gill. In two days," Vani said, closing her eyes.

Mrs Gill gasped, her hand went to her mouth "Vani…" she whispered in shock.

"No, Vani please don't do this, that man is not worthy of you.  He is 40 years old, Vani, He might be a good man but no…" she started but stopped suddenly and jerked her again "Why? Tell me, why do you want to marry now when you have not even thought about it in the past four years?" 

Vani looked at Mrs Gill, her eyes filled with tears "He said that Granth is suffering because of me… He is being harassed because of me, people call him abas…" she stopped, couldn't speak the word. Vani screamed hitting her wrist on the floor, crying in Mrs Gill's arms.

"He will take my baby away Mrs Gill, He will use my past…" she cried, screamed in anger.

Mrs Gill tried to console her but Vani could still hear the word 'Whore…' she gulped and wiped her tears "I will give my child a father figure Mrs Gill. I will…" 

Mrs Gill shook her head "Vani, Not him. If you want to marry then let me And Mr Gill find someone who deserves you. Someone worthy of you…" 

Vani shook her head "No. I will marry Mr Vaidhya. I want a father for my child, not a Husband for me Mrs Gill, I don't want to feel again. For me, My child is my everything. I won't let him snatch my child from me. I won't."

She wiped her tears and stood up "I fought everyone for my child, I did everything for him and now I won't let that man snatch my baby from me," she whispered.

"Vani…" 

Vani shook her head, "Two days," she told her and walked inside, Mrs Gill sighed, knowing now that Vani had decided something that couldn't be changed. But thinking about a twenty-four years old girl with a forty-year-old man, she cringed inside and prayed for her future.

Vani kept staring at the moonless sky. Her life was the same, black and dark without any light. She didn't know when she fell asleep but she jolts awake when she hears Granth's energetic Voice. 

"Mumma…." He called her and opened the door with a thud. 

Vani put on a bright smile to her lips, her eyes glisten seeing her son's innocent face. "Yes, my Monster…" she said, picking him up in her arms.

Grant giggled at her but then he frowned, his brows pulled together "Mumma why are your eyes so red?" He asked in a serious tone.
