Story: Tainted Bride

Avishka quickly grabs Rekha's hair and pushes her into the fire. There, the screams of mother and son start echoing, and Umesh is also thrown into the same fire. The bodyguards quickly start spraying gasoline all over the house because somehow no evidence can be left. Avishka's eyes are focused only on the two people burning in front of them, who are trying to save themselves from getting burned but are unable to do anything. Seeing Avishka like this, Prakram immediately hugged her.

Advait has tears in his eyes and starts looking at Prakram and Avishka. He immediately looks up and gives a flying kiss. The entire house is set on fire, and the women who set the fire stop making noise to celebrate their freedom. Everyone slowly starts leaving from there, but Avishka is still watching the fire until the fire in her heart cools completely.

CHAPTER 92

Avishka is sleeping soundly; he is gently massaging her scalp because she doesn't feel like getting up from the bed, or rather, from her special mattress. As a result, she is lying silently on top of him, refusing to let him move. Prakram is also enjoying this very much, so he is just caressing her hair while smiling. Knowing that she is awake, he speaks.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

As soon as she replies, he kisses her on the forehead and starts looking towards the window, where the sun has started shining brightly, due to which he knows that if he doesn't hurry up, Aashi will start banging on the door loudly. He immediatelypicks up Avishka in his arms, throws her on his shoulder, and takes her to the washroom, where the loud sound of both of them laughing starts.

All of them had come to Punjab; Sonali and Advait immediately went to the farm house with Padma and Vishnu; while all of them came home, Arun and Varun had gone to Delhi as they had been in Guwahati for a long time. However, they will arrive in Punjab soon. Even Priya is very excited to settle down with Varun, as she wants to be part of this self-made family, which is no doubt very beautiful.

With a smile on her face, Avishka sits with Aashi on her lap and begins feeding her, while Digvijay and Sandhya gaze at each other. Prakram has told them as much as he should have told them, due to which sometimes they are looking at Prakram and sometimes at Avishka. But Prakram starts looking at both of them, due to which they start eating his food silently. Digvijay is very happy with his granddaughter, and of course he also has a desire for his grandson, but now he doesn't want to raise this matter because he knows that Prakram is happy with Avishka, and hence he does not want to create any problems in their happiness.

Sandhya's eyes are going to Avishka again and again, because since she has come to know a lot of things about her past marriage life, while being a woman, she is feeling every pain of Avishka. She is crying just thinking about all this. Prakram didn't inform them about Rajeev and Sanjeev's fraudulent activities involving women, instead focusing on the abuse she endured at home and her husband's sexual assault. It has been said that, due to this, she has become very distressed after hearing these things. Digvijay has always held a deep respect for women, which makes it difficult for him to comprehend howsomeone, even at such a low point, could do something that would incite them to hate humans. All this is true; he wants to completely forget everything and concentrate only on his family, as his son with this girl, but right now everything is very new for him, so he is just silently looking at Avishka and Aashi. They are incredibly happy with each other.

Sonali is sitting with her head bowed, and everyone is holding back their laughter. Even Prakram is able to stop his laughter with great difficulty, but he scolds Sonali and says this.

“You'll just listen to me, and I don't want to hear anything else."

"I don't like studying at all; I don't want to study."

Prakram and everyone else want Sonali to continue her studies, but she has no interest in studying. This lack of interest prevents her from studying even when she wants to, which is extremely boring for her. When she does start studying, she quickly falls asleep on the table in front of her tutor.

"Well, listen to me. I am giving you a very wonderful teacher who will not only help you in your studies, but from now on he is going to take care of everything about you, whether it is about your grooming, your confidence, material art, and yes, very importantly, bullet shooting."

Sonali suddenly starts looking at him with wide eyes, due to which everyone laughs loudly; even Armaan, standing behind Prakram, starts laughing loudly. Sonali looks at him, then starts looking at Avishka. She comes sitting near her while laughing, and hugs her by saying.

“Sonali, we have seen a lot of negative things in life; now we have to see only the good. Studying is going to increase your confidence, and at the same time, you can do a lot of things. Although you have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills, the world can be extremely challenging. There are many fraudsters who can take advantage of your being less educated, so make yourself such that no one can take advantage of you. At least just tell yourself that you know about some basic knowledge of business or any job because, being in 12th grade, you didn't get any good jobs.”

Sonali is understanding her words very well, and the truth is that she also does not want the world to take advantage of her, so she nods her head.

“That's like a good girl..... Armaan.”

Prakram shouts loudly. On hearing Armaan's name, Sonali's eyes widen, and she stops looking at Armaan, who was looking only at her. She keeps staring at him, and Prakram tells her this.

"From today onwards, you are Armaan's responsibility."

Sonali immediately starts looking at Prakram, due to which he tells her instantly.

"From today onwards, Armaan will take care of the material art, everything, and every single thing of your studies, and you will also have to study with Armaan in everything because he knows everything very well. And he is going to stay here to keep an eye on you, whether you are doing well or not. In short, you are 24/7 under someone's guidance."

Armaan immediately goes ahead and stands in front of Sonali, extends his hand to shake with her, and tells her.

"Hello, I am Armaan.”

Sonali looks at him as if she knows him, but it's their first proper introduction. She then starts to look at his hand, which is pointing towards her because he wants to shake it. However, Sonali still struggles to overcome her fear of touching someone else, which is why she just starts looking at his hand, Arman explains.

“Unless you learn to face your fear, your fear continues to scare you.”

Sonali suddenly looks at him and then again looks at his hand and very slowly extends her hand, holding it lightly from the side of his fingers, and tries to do a handshake by touching his fingers only, but immediately, when she starts pulling her hands back, Armaan holds her hand completely and tells her.
