Loving My Living Contradiction- 15 Parts PG7 Complete - Page 4

Oh, no problem! And you:)😃

Hi Geetha, thank you!

Nanda hummed softly to herself, Kanak walked backwards laughing at Uma who was pulling a silly face at her
Kanak knocked into Nanda, making her falter unsteadily, she turned quickly to grab Nanda to save her

Nanda looked up, "Don't touch me, murderer, you killed my son"
Nanda shoved Kanak back, "Please, you dont understand"
Nanda raised her hand, slapping Kanak across the face "You wait right here, im going to call the police"

Kanak turned to face Uma "This isnt what it looks like"
"You killed my cousin " Uma asked, his eyes teary
"Cousin" Kanak repeated, she stepped back, her head spinning, was this a conspiracy by the whole family?
"I trusted you, I trusted you" Uma shouted

She knew, Uma would never betray her that way, but now she had betrayed him
A guard grabbed Kanak, "The police are on the way"
Kanak shook her head fast "please sir, just listen to me once, please"
Nanda dragged Uma away and the guard dragged Kanak away

"Sir please" Kanak begged
But her cries went unheard, she had lost the only good thing in her life other than her Bhaboo
The sobs were unrelenting, making her shoulders shake

It was a few hours later when Kanak was told she had a visitor, she looked up from the floor and walked to the bars of her jail cell
Uma stood there, looking at her, she could smell the alcohol drifting off of him, his hands clenched the bars and his eyes were red

"I trusted you Kanak, god damn it, I was falling for you, why did you play me like this"
Kanak reached through the bars and cupped his cheek, her thumb wiping away his tears "I know this looks bad, I know it does, and I can't prove myself innocent and why would you listen to me over your aunty"
Her breath was shaky, her heart hurt to see her happy boss broken like this

"Aditya hurt me, really badly, every day was torture, whether it was cheating on me, abusing me or" she stopped, her voice breaking "raping me"
Uma felt like he had been hit hard, his cousin, the cousin he grew up with was capable of this

Uma shook his head "No, he would never"
Kanak moved her hand, backing away she switched off "I dont expect you to believe me, just know I never meant to hurt you, for a few weeks you made me so happy and I will always be so greatful for that, thank you for being you"

Uma remembered how Kanak was so scared, her reactions when he got to close, how distant she always was, but he could never believe his cousin, his best friend was capable of this
But he was a man raised right and knew there was always more to see than what met the eye

So he would wait, search until he could find proof and make sure Kanak really was the criminal here
Uma let go of the bars, Kanak's heart clenched, she didnt want to let him go like this
"Sir wait"

Uma stood, waiting for Kanak to speak
"Please dont hate me, ignore me, do whatever but dont hate me, I cant live to see hate in your eyes for me"
"I dont hate you"
She breathed a sigh of relief
"I feel nothing for you Kanak and I regret the day you came into my life"

Uma stormed off, his words an obvious lie to him, but he was hurting, so badly
He wanted to believe Kanak, but this was a matter he couldn't be the judge of

Kanak dropped to her knees and watched as Uma walked away from her

Uma sat infront of an officer "So what you're saying is, you think Kanak was abused by your cousin"
Uma gritted his teeth "Honestly I dont know what to think, I just want it looked into"
"Well, we have seen some hospital records stating she was taken in with severe injuries, but realistically thats all the proof you're going to get, I have known you for years, do you think she killed him for no reason"

Uma was about to answer when Santosh ran in "Wheres my grandaughter, I want to see Kanak"
"Look Miss we cant let you see her yet"
"No, look I have proof of the abusive messages Aditya sent to her"
She placed the phone down and the inspector looked through it

"Jailer, let her out, shes on bail for now"
Santosh thanked him and waited patiently for Kanak to come out
Hugging her she cupped her cheeks "Theres a flight, in 2 hours, lets get you home"
Kanak looked at Uma "Can I just have a minute to talk to him"
Santosh looked back at Uma, nodded and went to wait outside

"I just wanted to say goodbye, maybe things would have been different if I would have told you, but we can't change the past, take care of yourself sir"
Uma stood, watching Kanak sign the release forms
"The court will hear your case nearer to you, you will be contacted soon"

"Kanak wait"
Kanak paused, not being able to look at him she didnt turn around
"I will send your pay cheques to your home address"
She nodded and walked away
The inspector looked at Uma
"Ive been the idiot who let the woman I wanted walk away, if you believe her, dont let her go"

-----------------

Kanak and Santosh finally arrived back at their home a day later, Kanak decided to go straight back to her room to rest
"Kanak"
"Hm"
"You have to have faith that the judge will make the right decision"
"What does it matter, whats left for me apart from you Bhaboo"

Kanak slammed her bedroom door shut and jumped into bed, her head full of memories of her boss, who had managed to show her happiness in such a small amount of time

-----------------

Nanda cleared her throat "Look Uma, its good shes gone, she was nothing but a cold blooded killer who was probably just using you"
Uma clenched his fist "Kanak wasn't like that, I dont know how to explain it, but there's more to this"

Nanda stood up "Are you saying, my son, your cousin hurt Kanak, that he could ever be capable of such things"
Uma pinched the brim of his nose "I dont know what i'm saying, I just cant believe Kanak could be capable of this without having a good reason"

"How long have you known her, not long at all, to make that judgement, yet you are willing to believe that Aditya hurt her"
"But what if we are wrong, what if Aditya did hurt her, what if that was her only way out, I know what she did was wrong, but you dont know her like I do"

"It seems I dont know you like I thought I did, one girl traipses into your life and you are willing to go against your family" Nanda walked past Uma fast
"Its not like that" he whispered, dropping to the sofa he wiped his eyes

How was he ever meant to understand what the truth was ?

-----------------

The court case was to be held tomorrow, Santosh slammed the letter down and held her head, Kanak had already been through enough, yet it seemed she would never be free from this hassle

Kanak looked down at her phone buzzing, she picked it up but all she heard was silence
Could it be the man she wanted to talk to or was that just wishful thinking?

"Sir" Kanak hesitantly asked
"Kanak, Kanak, Kanak, what have you done to me"
Kanak sat up straight "Sir are you drunk"
Uma laughed "No, but my family hate me, do you know why"
"Why" she whispered

"Because I actually think you're telling the truth Kanak, why would you lie to me"?
Kanak let out a sob, "Thank you sir, you will never know how much that means to me"
"Im sorry my family couldnt save you before"

"Its not your fault, please dont blame yourself"
Uma breathed a sigh of relief "Im gonna do the right thing Kanak, I will testify in court"
"But how can you testify when you didnt see anything"
"No one needs to know that Kanak, my heart tells me you're telling the truth and I will always follow my heart"

"Thank you, so so much sir"
"Please Kanak, call me Uma, we're friends now"
Kanak smiled "okay Uma "

Santosh stood at the door, she smiled "Please don't take my grandaughters happiness away" she prayed

Also The Maid Who Stole My Heart has been updated if you havent checked it out already!

Kanak stood at the podium, her heart was racing fast, in a second the judge could determine her future.
"I would like to call my first witness to the podium, Mr Uma Toshniwal" said Nanda's lawyer
Kanak offered him a soft smile, he was putting so much at risk by lying for her

"So Uma, ive been told you want to say something infront of the whole court"
Uma nodded, it was here in this position you promised to speak the truth and only the truth, but Uma was going to lie, his family had always taught him that a lie to do good isnt wrong

"I have been witness to Kanak's abuse, I walked in one day and saw Aditya kicking Kanak, he promised he would never do it again and I was stupid enough to believe him, what Aditya did to Kanak, it still scars her now, the affects of his abuse will stay with her forever, can she be blamed for wanting a way out"
Uma's eyes remained on Kanak's as he spoke, she closed her eyes, tears rolling down her face

"Liar, hes lying" Nanda shouted
"Order" the judge called "Look, with the medical records, Uma's statement, Kanak's statement and Satosh's, I have no choice but to put this down to self defence and pronounce the defendant "
"No, you can't do this, she murdered my son in cold blood" Nanda shouted again

"Please calm down, you did not witness anything to prove your assertion, I pronounce Kanak Rathi as not guilty" Kanak gasped as the judge slammed his hammer down and stood up
Santosh ran over to Kanak and hugged her, cupping her face "See I knew we would win Kanak"

Kanak looked at Uma, "I wouldnt be free if it wasnt for him" Santosh smiled, "go to him"
Kanak walked over to Uma "can we talk "
Uma nodded and followed her to the side of the room "I just wanted to say thank you, for what you did"
"You dont need to thank me, that job, if you want it, is still yours, theres no one else I'd rather send horrible sandwiches to "

She smiled "So you admit they're horrible"
"Seems you know my biggest secret, dont go telling anyone though"
Kanak smiled "your secret is safe with me"
Uma went to hold her hand then put his hand in his pocket "are you okay Kanak, I hope this didnt bring to much back for you"
"Im okay, just glad its mostly over"

"Mostly" Uma asked
"You think your aunt is gonna leave me alone, in her eyes im the murderer"
"Ill talk to her"
"No, thank you, but you've already done enough, but ill see you tomorrow"
Uma wanted to stop her, a few days without her seemed like weeks, now she was in his life, he didnt want to lose her

----------------------

Uma walked to a desk, then turned back around again, then changed his mind, turned and smiled "Hey has Kanak not come in yet" he hoped he didnt sound to needy
"She did Sir but after the rumours about her she went outside"
"Rumours" Uma asked
"That she killed her husband sir"

Uma ran outside, "Kanak, youre coming with me"
"But"
Uma ignored her and took her inside "Can I get everyones attention please"
Kanak looked down at her hand in his
After a few minutes everyone gathered

"From today these rumours stop, what happens in Kanak's personal life does not need to be brought into work, most of you here are women and thats what disgusts me the most, as a woman you should sympathise with her for what she has been through and be proud of her for coming back stronger "

Kanak looked on at Uma shocked, no one had ever stuck up for her this way "if anyone spreads this shit again, then you will no longer have a job here"
"Uma please"
Uma turned to Kanak, shaking his head
He squeezed her hand and took her to his office

"Thank you again"
Uma cupped her cheek, "I wont let anyone hurt you anymore "
Kanak smiled
"Theres been something ive wanted to do for a long time"
"Whats that " Kanak asked, confused

Uma dipped his head and kissed Kanak, he pulled back quickly, he really needed to control himself
Kanak pulled him back in and kissed him back
