Story: Tainted Bride

Padma nods her head lightly because she, too, understands Vishnu's words very well.

As soon as Aashi returns home from the temple, she continuously tries to try her father's mobile, which is not connected.

“Why isn’t Papa picking up the phone?”

“He must be busy with some work; now you should quickly prepare to eat your favorite pudding."

However, Aashi needed to call her father, who was not answering the phone. As a result, she became upset and immediately ran to her room, where her father had left all of the toys she frequently played with. When the memories of her father begin to trouble her, she sits down with the toys.

“Aashi….”

Sandhya's voice is trying to stop her, but Aashi immediately comes to her room and hugs the biggest teddy bear.

"Papa, I miss you."

“I MISS YOU TOO, MY BABY."

On hearing this voice, Aashi immediately starts looking around the room, and suddenly Prakram comes out smiling from behind the door, due to which she immediately runs to him. He picks her up in his arms, gently tosses her in the air, catches her again, and says so while hugging her tightly.

"You are missing your father; how can he stay away from you?"

She wraps both her small arms around his neck and tells him very lovingly.

“I miss you so much papa."

“I miss you a lot."

Both of them immediately come downstairs, and Sandhya becomes extremely happy upon seeing Prakram , prompting her to immediately serve food. Prakram sits with Aashi in his lap and starts feeding her. The tiara worn in Aashi's hair is attracting his attention again and again because the very faint fragrance emanating from the flowers is very pleasant. He immediately says,

“Beautiful…”

Aashi immediately looks at her father and finds that his attention is on her tiara, due to which she laughs, takes the tiara off her head, puts it on her father's head, and starts laughing loudly while clapping.

Prakram also starts laughing with her, which is quite normal for him. He becomes a child with Aashi, and he spends his time with her with great pleasure. Shortly after having food, Aashi starts yawning as per her habit due to an afternoon nap; as a result, Prakram takes her in his arms and starts walking towards his room, patting her lightly. After some time, Aashi sleeps soundly, and Prakram is still walking here and there, holding her in his arms, because he does not want her to suddenly break her sleep, even by mistake. He will not put her to bed until he is completely sure that she has slept well. While roaming here and there in the room, his eyes fall on the big mirror, where their reflection is clearly visible. Still wearing the tiara on his head, which Aashi made him wear in her play mood, he smiles and puts it off, and very securely, he lays Aashi on the bed and puts the tiara on her head again. Although Aashi is already an angel, the tiara enhances her beauty. He smiles and says,.

“I will have to ask the tiara maker to make such beautiful tiaras for my daughter every day."

He kisses her forehead and keeps looking at her without breaking his gaze.

CHAPTER 7

“My father is a he-man.... he is also a superman, and he is the most loving father in the world... I love my papa."

Aashi often talks about her father, and today it seems as if her praises for her father are not ending, due to which Avi, smiling lightly, is making a much better style with flowers in her hair today, for which Aashi has been insisting for a long time. She was lagging behind, but looking at the little girl's hair, Avi did not want to do this, fearing that she might give her any trouble by touching her hair because she is very small and would have to pull several times while styling. Also goes, due to which there is pain. However, today, Aashi is not in the mood to listen to her, so she is arranging flowers in her hair and creating a beautiful style with gentle touches.

“Avu…”

“Hmmm…”

“You know, when my super hero comes to you, he will stare at you because he stares at everyone. He can also scold you because my father loves me very much, but don't be afraid; Papa cannot do anything in front of Ashu.”

She immediately turns around and stands up, placing both her hands on her waist, and tells him.
