Toxic love by Shikha Mishra (good books to read for 12 year olds TXT) 📗

"Vihaan wait....." I shout. He flinches or was it my imagination. "How are you?" I ask in broken voice.  

He turns and this time I flinch. His eyes are bloodshot. The vein on his face are popping. I have never seen him this angry.

"How am I? What a brilliant question you have asked Mrs Malhotra....ops sorry ex Mrs Malhotra. Well I am doing fine with my wifey." Tears starts welling up in my eyes.

"Vihaan you don't get to hurt me." I mumble.

"Oo..... I do. Just like you gave me pain 3 years ago....." the mocking voice was exchanged with a painful voice. "You...you didn't even thought of me. You just left me. YOU. FUCKING. LEFT. ME."

"Then what should I have done. We were toxic for each other vihaan." I cry out. My heart was in pain and I didn't know how to stop it's pain.

"Then you thought of leaving me. You could have tried to redeem the love which we had. You could have tried to make me understand that the baby will make our bond more strong. You just left and this was your cowardice. You are a coward Disha. You turned your head away from our love."

"I am sorry vihaan. I am sorry. I am sorry." I fall on my knees but he doesn't stops. He doesn't waits for me. He doesn't turns. Is he really my vihaan?

I turn my head towards my family and see them all having an angry look. This is all my fault. Again I did the mistake.

"Mummy please understand me." I cry out.

"I could have understood you....but 3 years ago Disha. Whatever vihaan has done is wrong and we are not on his side but we are also not on your side. You leaving without a word was a big mistake."

I move my eyes towards dad to get the assurance but he moves his eyes away from me.

"Oh come on mom I know whatever Disha has done is right. I am with her." Bhai says but it didn't give me any comfort.

"Don't you dare say a word hritik in this matter. If you hadn't encouraged her then she would have never left." Mummy says.

They all start leaving and I immediately stand up to follow them. But get stopped by someone. I see the most lovable people of my life leaving me one by one. And not even one person turning to see me.

"It's okay Disha. Don't cry."

"Rishabh am I really a coward?" I ask.

"No you are not. You are the strongest person I have ever seen."

"I am right?" I again ask.

"Yes you are."
