Story: Tainted Bride

Kailash starts disappearing before Avishka's vision, due to which her heartbeats start increasing and she starts screaming loudly.

"Papa…. Papa… Please don't go, Papa... I need you, Papa... Please don't go...."

Everyone was present there, and seeing Avishka shouting like this, they got very upset. Prakram immediately comes and sits near Avishka.

"Avi..... Get up."

"Papa…."

Avishka suddenly sat down, saw Prakram in front of her, and told him while crying.

"Ram, Papa is leaving me; he said that he is leaving now."

Everyone starts looking at Avishka with surprise. She has tears in her eyes. Advait lowers his eyes seeing her like this because he knows very well that even today Avishka cannot accept the fact that Kailash is no longer in their lives. She often used to say that her father used to talk to her. Prakram hugs her and starts kissing her forehead.

"Papa is not going anywhere; he is just coming back to us forever."

Avishka starts looking at him. Prakram puts his hand inside her saree and touches her stomach, smilingly saying,

"We are pregnant, love... So Papa is not going anywhere; he is coming to us forever in the form of our child."

Avishka initially keeps looking at Prakram, then looks at her stomach, takes a deep breath, places her hand on his, and tries to believe what he is saying. Prakram just smiles and nods his head lightly. She immediately hugs him and starts crying loudly.

EPILOGUE

Avishka is sitting very comfortably with her feet on the table, sucking an orange. Advait is kneading the dough in front, while Digvijay is standing nearby, peeling potatoes. And all the other servants are watching Digvijay's work while suppressing their laughter. All of them are working very well, but whenever Avishka has a craving for something to eat, Digvijay himself stands there and begins working alongside them. He looks towards Avishka, who is looking towards the kitchen.

"Of course you keep eating oranges; samosas (an Indian snack) will be ready in some time, and then we will all sit down and eat samosas."

Avishka is eating the orange very reluctantly because she does not want to eat it at all, but she has a strong desire to eat samosas. Since her admission to the school, Aashi has also begun attending classes. Due to Avishka's limited travel time and Prakram's preference for dropping and picking up Aashi from school, both Sandhya and Prakram have gone to pick her up. Prakram enjoys everything as much as he can because, because of business and many more things, he is going to be very busy in the future, so he is literally enjoying every single minute with his family.

“Mummaaaaa...”

As soon as she hears Aashi's very sweet voice, Avishka smiles and slowly stands up with her feet down so that she can reach her as quickly as possible. Everyone has forbidden her to do so, but whenever she hears Aashi's voice, she feels like seeing her first. Aashi quickly comes running to her mother, and seeing her coming towards her smiling, she hugs her stomach. First of all, she kisses her stomach three-four times and tells her.

"You looked after yourself and my sweetie."

“I want to eat samosa, but your grandpa and uncle are not able to make anything yet.”

Prakram and Sandhya had also arrived, and as soon as Avishka made any such complaint, Aashi immediately turned towards her grandfather with a very sweet anger on her face and told him to keep her hand on her waist.

"My brother or sister is hungry inside, and you are still just peeling potatoes."

Digvijay looks at Aashi in fear, who is very possessive of her sibling, and explains.

"I am trying to do everything quickly, but because your uncle does everything slowly, I am getting late because of him. Lazy ass..."

Advait immediately starts looking towards Digvijay because he knows that now Aashi is going to scold him. He slowly starts turning towards Aashi, who is staring at him. He starts smiling and looking at her, then Aashi tells him.

“No need to laugh so much; work quickly. My sweetu is hungry inside... Work fast.”

“Yes ma'am….”

Prakram and Sandhya were watching all this, suppressing their laughter. While Sandhya wrapped her saree around her waist and went towards the kitchen, Aashi also went towards the kitchen along with her so that she could get the work done quickly by them. Prakram comes and sits near Avishka, who hands him an orange as soon as he sits next to her and says,.

“I want only the sweet orange; you eat the rest.”

Prakram starts looking at Avishka because this is happening every day. Avishka has to eat an orange, but it should also be sweet. This is some strange craving, which he is not able to understand if she doesn't like even the slightest sourness in orange. When she didn't like the orange or anything else, she forced Prakram to eat it. But Prakram is enjoying all these things a lot, so he slowly starts checking while eating the orange and also starts feeding Avishka because he knows that it is going to take time to make samosas here. Both Digvijay and Prakram are adamant about Avishka not eating anything from outside, so they do their utmost to prepare everything for her. However, sometimes her cravings are so strong that the preparation process takes longer than expected.
