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

"I can't forget inspector, do your duty and…" I was saying but stopped when I heard Rishi's voice.

I turned my head towards Rishi, from my peripheral view I could see the inspector standing up from his chair.

"Sir, there was no need for you to come...we could have handled the situation."

I was shocked to hear the Inspector, Rishi came to me and smiled "why do you have to make such a fuss about everything Vani. Hmm. You can call the police all you want but you should have done your homework on me first," he said moving towards me.

Mr Gill stood in front of me "Stay away from her," he said, hiding me behind himself.

"Ohh! I got scared from you macho man. What was your name again? Ah! yes. Sukhwinder Gill, you have a son, a wife waiting for you at home, why do you want me to harm them...she is no one to you but what about them? Think of your family first Mr Gill." 

"Don't you dare…" Mr Gill warned him but Rishi only laughed at him mockingly. "Hm, scared now imagine your wife coming back from the market and suddenly a car stopped near her, two men caught her and then her body was found in some deep trench here...nice story isn't it," he asked.

Mr Gill grabbed his collar, he was still smiling. I fisted my hand and moved forward. Mr and Mrs Gill were the only people who genuinely helped without any motive of their own. In my life, even my parents asked something from me but they were the only people who stood by me in my hard time even when they had no reason to do that. I can't bring them in my mess. 

"Mr Gill please leave him," I said, the police inspector grabbed Mr Gill away from Rishi.

"Throw him in jail…" the inspector asked the Constable. 

I stepped forward and met Rishi's gaze "tell him to leave Mr Gill, Rishi."

"You asked me something for the first time how could I deny you anything Vani," he looked at the inspector and nodded "leave him."

I fisted my hand tightly "I am leaving today because here no one will listen to me. But remember this Rishi, one day this same Inspector will file an FIR against you in this very Police Station and that day this money and power nothing will save you. I swear this and one more thing. Don't try to harm my family, because then nothing will stop me from ruining you." 

"This. This attitude of yours," he put his hands on the left side of his chest "I am a fan of this attitude of yours Vani Kashyap.   Why are you doing this, just marry me, I promise I will handle everything related to your child. We will throw him in a good boarding school, you can meet him once in a year…and I will show you how a man should take care of a woman like you."

"Stop it. Don't." I ordered him,  glaring at the inspector I told them "you too remember this, Inspector. One day I will make you both pay for this," i said and turned to Mr Gill. 

"Let's go, Mr Gill…" I said and stepped forward to leave.

Rishi grabbed my hand, Mr Gill tried to help but I stopped him "I won't stop till I make you mine Vani, nothing can come in my way and if something or someone do," he said glaring at Mr Gill "comes in my way I know very well how to remove them."

I snatched my hand from his grip and walked past him. Mr Gill drove to the home in complete silence. He was scared for his family. I could feel it. When we reached home Mr Gill hugged his wife and Khush tightly. 

Tears pooled in my eyes, that's what fear feels like. That's how a man protects his family. "Mr Gill, I apologize for everything. I should not have involved you in this…" I said going near them.

He left Mrs Gill and turned to me "don't say anything, I am sorry I got weak for a second. You are like a sister to me Vani and I was not able to protect you. I apologise as a brother…I will talk to a lawyer friend of mine and…"

"No, I don't want any wrong thing to happen to you or any of my family Mr Gill, I have nothing left except

for Granth and you all."

"Mumma…" I heard Granth, we all turned towards my baby " yes Gunnu." 

"Mumma am hungry."

I went to him and hugged him tightly " I love you, baby, I love you so much."

"Mumma too tight," I chuckled at him, loosening my hold. I kissed his head.

"Vani, have dinner, I cooked already and we too should leave now. I will see you tomorrow," Mrs Gill said. I nodded and locked the door and every window of the house. I was being paranoid, I knew that but still, I didn't want to take any chance with my Child.

After feeding Granth, I was cleaning dishes when I gasped in pain. My eyes went to the big bruise on my elbow. Tears pooled in my eyes, I screamed in frustration and cried my heart out "why? Every time I have to suffer? Why?" 

"Sh, stop crying Vani, think about Granth, you have to think about him you have to be strong for him," I reminded myself, wiping the tears. 

Today seeing Mr Gill with his family, my heart skipped. Today for the first time in a year I yearned to be held by him. Tracing the angry bruise on my hand "I will not forgive you Mrityunjay. I will not forgive you…" 

"Mumma…" I heard Granth, immediately I wiped the tears and stood up, smiling I asked "Granth, is anything a matter baby? What happened?"

He came to me and hugged me, I smiled "what happened Granth?"

"Don't cry Mumma, when I grow up I will protect you then no one will say bad things about you and no man will scare you," he said touching my cheek.

"Granth…" I whispered "baby I am fine, I was not crying at all, see. I am smiling even now, and what bad things are you talking about? No one says anything bad about me."

He wrinkled his brows "they all do. I heard them, when I went to play in the park, Danish's Mumma scolded him because he was playing with me, she said I am bad because I don't have a Daddy." 

I gasped, "Mrs Bhalla…" I held Granth's hand "you are not bad my baby, why didn't you tell me about it. Next time tell me immediately if someone says anything to you like this. Alright."
