Tainted Love by Maniah (english novels to read .TXT) 📕

"But it's not my money Sangeeta, The card belongs to Mrityunjay, I can't spend this much," I told her and she rolled her eyes "I will pay you back Vani when I have money I will pay you. I have helped you before when you didn't have a single penny, I gave money for your father's operation without any hope of getting that back." 

I gulped down and handed her the card Mrityunjay gave me, "what's the code?" 

I told her and she paid the money, then she took me to a dress showroom. "Now we just have to find something cool. dresses for us. " I have dresses, you just buy it for yourself." 

"Ya! I saw them, you have everything which covers your body from head to toe. You need a dress and that's final." to 

She started looking at the dress and I was shocked to see the price of "twenty thousand for a single dress…" I gasped, a few heads turned my way.  Sangeeta squeezed my hand and smiled "stop behaving like a cheapster Vani."

"But this is too much for a dress, I can buy clothes for the whole of my Family and still would be able to save some." I told her and she sighed "these are designer dresses Vani, not some local market of your Village," she whispered and held my hand to take me with her. 

She bought ten dresses, all expensive and above twenty thousand "Sangeeta this is too much." I told her when she said it with Mritunjay's card. 

"I'll pay you back, don't remind me that I am using your card." 

"I am not doing that Sangeeta unlike you I would never tell you how I helped you." I snapped at her and she smiled "Let's choose one for you as well." 

"No. I won't buy anything from here, it's too expensive." I told her and went outside the Showroom. I saw a board of a local showroom and went inside. "You want to buy a dress from here." 

"Yea, that's all I can afford."

She nodded and picked three short dresses, one was over a sparkly green dress. The dress was so short that I can't even call it a dress. "Perfect."

"No, I am not wearing it. This is too short and I am not comfortable in this Sangeeta. Not at all." I told her and she closed her eyes for a second "this is perfect Vani and you are buying it. Final!"

"But…" she raised her hand "it's decided." 

I checked the price "twenty-five hundred rupees for this." 

"Yes. Pay now." She ordered and I paid for the dress in cash. I remember mother buying fabric for suits and then stitching them herself, I shook my head at the memories and finally, we left from there, went to Sangeeta's apartment to get ready. 

She helped me with makeup, when she finished I shook my head "this is too loud Sangeeta."

"We are going to a party, it has to be loud. Now you look perfect. Let's go." 

"Sangeeta, I forgot to take the card back from you," I said when she was driving us to the party venue. 

"Oh am so sorry, I will return it once we get back home. I changed the purse and the card was in another purse."

I nodded, after fifteen minutes we reached the party venue. I closed my eyes in pain. The music was so loud that my head began to ache like last time.  "Sangeet…" 

She took me aside and joined her hands in front of me "Vani, please. I really need to find a new customer for myself or I would be sleeping on roads again. The modelling agency is finally ready to give me a show as a model in the next fashion week and if that happens I would leave this life and live a reputed one. Not as a wh*re but as a fashion model. Am begging you please help me this last time," she pleaded with me.

I nodded at her "I will help you."

"Good, now please smile, a small touch here and there and the dance is a must. If someone asks for a dance please do that, I am begging you. It's the last time I am asking this, Don't spoil it for me please." 

"I won't allow anyone to touch me, and am not sure about dance Sangeeta am not comfortable…"

"Hell with your comfortness Vani, I have sacrificed enough to start my career as a model. Please do that for me. Am begging you," she said joining her hands in front of me. Hesitantly I nodded. .

She hugged me in happiness "thank you so much Vani. Now let's do this one last time." 

Everything was fine, no one looked my way and Sangeeta was dancing with a man, she nodded her head in thanks and continued her dancing. I prayed that no one would come close to me but that didn't happen.

"You, here? Is Mrityunjay done with you, if yes my offer still stands," I didn't even have to turn my gaze to know that the voice belonged to none other than Sahil sehgal, Mrityunjay's cousin. I closed my eyes in irritation. My head started throbbing at the sound and now this.

"Look…" I started but Sangeeta joined her hands in front of me from the pint she was dancing. I fisted my hands and managed to smile at Sahil. 

"I am not interested in your offer Mr Sehgal." I told him softly and took a step forward to walk away but he gripped My hand tightly and pulled me closer, my vision blurred and I fell in his arms ``wow! Excited much," I pushed him away but he stopped me again.

"C'mon tell me your price. Cousin doesn't need to know what happened between us. I'll pay you five times more than he is paying you."  

I was about to raise my hand when Sangeeta came there "Vanya…" she whispered, making me close my eyes to calm myself. "You are Sangy right," He asked her and Sangeeta smiled at him.

"How do you know me?" She asked in a sultry voice. "Heard about you. Tell me Sangy, is she your friend?" 

"Yes, she is Vanya…" 

"Hmm…" he eyed me from head to toe making me grimace. Sahil chuckled at me. Suddenly the man dancing with Sangeeta  came there and patted Sahil on the back. "Any problem Bro?" 

"Just wanted to have a little dance with this beautiful woman but the madam declined," Sahil answered. 

"Is she with you Sangy…" the man asked Sangeeta who nodded  "of course she will dance with you, go Vanya." She said and I glared at her.
