Story: Tainted Bride

"Listen to me. Sonali, you are very capable and can do a lot, and you will continue to do a lot in the future too. I just want to tell you that when life gives you an opportunity, do not let that opportunity slip away. Just tell me this much: do you like Armaan? Come on, don't tell me that too. Just ask yourself this question: Do you like Armaan? If yes, then whatever is in your mind, go and tell Armaan. Listen to what he says, and if you need time in this relationship, then take it. Neither is he in a hurry, nor will he raise any questions about your decision."

Sonali closes her eyes and starts thinking, and Armaan's face appears in front of her. She immediately opens her eyes and says to Avishka:.

"I want to talk to Armaan about everything."

"I am also saying that you should discuss everything with Armaan."

After some time, when Armaan knocks on the door of her room, she comes out, and Armaan is very surprised to see her because she is very well dressed.

"You are going somewhere."

"No, I will not feel good if I do not dress properly in the arrangements you have made for us."

On hearing this, Armaan smiles, moves his hand forward, and bends slightly. Sonali starts looking at his hand and immediately places her hand on his palm because now she is not afraid of any kind of touch. In fact, Armaan touched her, giving her a very protective feeling. Both of them come to the back garden, and Sonali starts smiling, seeing the beauty there. Armaan pulls a chair for her and makes her sit in front of him; both of them start eating. Sonali is eating, but she is eagerly waiting for Armaan to say something to her. After she finishes her meal, Armaan approaches her, sits in front of her, and speaks while holding her hand in his, which gives him confidence."

"I know very well that you are comfortable with me and like me. I don't need to ask whether you like me or not; I just know that I want to live every moment of happiness with you, which is why I am telling you that I want you in my life."

Armaan gripped her hand tightly and gazed into her eyes, continuously speaking.

"I also know very well that right now you do not find yourself fully capable of taking any relationship further. Being my girlfriend means staying with me; if you don't like me, leave. I have no issues, but I want to marry you and live with you. I just want a fair chance. Please don't make any decisions based on past incidents; after staying with me, you don't have to bewith me; you don't want me; everything is up to you; just give me some time as your boyfriend so I can thoroughly enjoy this beautiful life of mine."

As soon as Sonali listens to him, she just starts looking at him. Tears well up in her eyes. Armaan says this while wiping her tears with his thumb.

"Your tears, whether of happiness or sadness, always bother me a lot, so try not to let them come."

Sonali immediately hides her face in his chest by hugging him, and Armaan starts smiling while holding her in his arms.

Avishka is just looking at Parakram, who is gently massaging her feet, because there is a lot of swelling in her body, due to which her feet have become so swollen that now they are causing a lot of pain. She tries her best not to sit, hang her legs down, or move around much. But this swelling suddenly starts appearing on her body, due to which she is getting very worried.

"Ram….."

"What happened…"

"I think we should go to the hospital."

All Avishka had to say was that it was as if there was an earthquake in the entire house. In just a few minutes, they all arrived at the hospital, only to be shocked by the loud sound of a crying child. They are looking at each other because it is still a complete surprise for them, whether it is a boy or a girl, because neither the doctor nor any news is coming out.

Aashi is standing right in front, and she is most eager to see her brother or sister, due to which, as soon as the door opens, she is the first to jump in front of the door, and Prakram from the front has a blue-colored towel in his lap. He sits in front of her with the child wrapped in it.

“It's a boy. Aashi's brother is here."

"My brother..... Yeeeeepiiii..."

She starts jumping in joy and everybody is only looking at her.

It has been 40 days since the birth of the child, so today is their naming ceremony. Everyone is happy beyond limits, and the happiness on their faces for this personal and important function of the house is worth seeing, but if everyone's eyes are on the most, it is Armaan and Sonali. Despite their busy schedules, they never miss an opportunity to interact with each other.
