Story: Tainted Bride

"There are three more people there; they should also have adequate food.”

As soon as Prakram says this to the staff in a very easy way, Aashi happily kisses her father's cheek, which is expressing her happiness very well. Prakram looks very good on this 3-year-old girl. She seems to be much wiser in herself, as she does not hold back in expressing her feelings towards an injured girl.

Aashi runs into the room, and seeing her, the smile on Avishka's face is worth seeing. Padma and Vishnu both start smiling after seeing her, and Vishnu immediately picks her up and makes her sit near Avishka.

"Avu…"

Prakram is standing outside and is watching everything very well. Aashi calls her with so much love and affection and immediately hugs her. It is worth showing their bond, which he is denying. He can also see the smiling face of Avishka, on which there is no special trace of any lie. After giving her a warm hug, Avishka begins to caress her hair and asks her a few questions, while Prakram narrows his eyes and observes her actions closely. Aashi immediately hands her the small bag hanging on her shoulders, suggesting that she may have brought something specifically for her hair, such as a comb or her favorite butterfly hair pins. Avishka immediately checks it and forces her to sit in front of her, where she begins to lovingly comb her hair.

The way Avishka is holding her thick strand of hair and untangling it is so admirable that Prakram is unable to contain his smile. Because of this, Aashi's hair is not pulling with it or even noticing it at all; instead, she is speaking constantly, and Avishka is working while responding to her. After some time, she makes a very beautiful style in her hair and starts praising her. Aashi's eyes go to her father, due to which she spreads both her hands. Prakram comes inside and takes his daughter in his lap, due to which Avishka immediately bows her head very well while sitting with great care.

"Papa, do I look beautiful?”

"You have always seemed very beautiful to me."

"I have just styled my hair; do I look beautiful in it?"

"You are looking very beautiful."

Prakram's eyes go to Avishka, whose face he cannot see, but immediately he can see teardrops falling on her hand. He tries to look at her but cannot see her face. He doesn't know why he feelsshe's crying, but he doesn't know the reason behind her tears, he tells her in his harsh voice.

"My mother wants you to become Aashi's nanny; now that she has made this decision, it is not in my power to ask you anything or refuse, but I am telling you clearly that if my daughter faces even the slightest problem, "I don't desist from hurting anyone." "

Avishka had discussed this matter very well with Sandhya, and the truth is that neither her salary nor living in Bundela House was making any difference to her. If it was making any difference to her, then that is due to the fact that she will be able to stay with Aashi for more time, and the biggest thing is that Vishnu and Padma, who helped her a lot while living with her in Bundela House, will only do the gardening there, and they get a lot of money from this thing. They will get relief. She has observed closely that when their health deteriorates, the absence of flowers prevents them from making garlands or selling them, leading to a shortage of food. According to what Sandhya stated, Padma and Vishnu are both receiving very good pay for their gardening work, and Avishka will also receive a very good salary. As a result, she can simultaneously make their remaining lives much happier, as they both hold a special place in her heart. Even if the relationship is for some time, it has become very deep in her heart, due to which she will feel very happy after doing all this for both of them. Prakram does not get any kind of answer, causing him to feel a little angry, but because Aashi is with him, he immediately tells Avishka again.

"Do you understand what I am saying? My daughter should not face any kind of trouble. I will keep an eye on you all the time because I am not used to trusting anyone."

As per her habit, Avishka immediately nods her head. Both Padma and Vishnu are very happy about gardening at Bundela House because they have to work extremely hard to create flower garlands, a task their bodies cannot bear. Both of them have been to Bundela House many times, so they are thrilled with this news. Prakram passes Aashi near Avishka and sits on the sofa there so that he can tell Avishka that he is not just asking her to keep an eye on her, but he is very much ready for this. With Prakram sitting there, Avishka has definitely become a little uncomfortable, but she understands the care of a father very well, which is why she closes her eyes and says to herself in her mind.

“I will do everything. Papa, I am strong.”

CHAPTER 14

(AUTHOR’S NOTE: I don't want this story to be boring at all, because of which both the past and present will run together. You will also understand the difference between the past and present.)

*She opens the door and immediately hides behind it. Seeing no one in front, he comes inside carrying the bag and tiffin box, but he knows very well that it is his daughter's act, so he wants to make her happy. He comes inside very silently, as if he has really come looking for someone, but as soon as he enters the door, Avishka jumps and climbs on her father's back.

"Papa…."

Laughing, Kailash puts his hand back on his daughter's waist to prevent her from slipping off his back and falling. As he turns around, he can clearly hear her loud laughter. Meanwhile, hiswife, Reema, comes towards the front. And she starts smiling after seeing both of them, then younger son Advait comes and rests his elbow on his mother's shoulder and complains to his mother.

"I told you that Papa loves Avi Di the most.”

As soon as he uttered these words, laughter resounded. Kailash comes there and says it loudly.

"Yes, I love my daughter the most because she is my pride and the reason for my life."*

She suddenly opens her eyes and sees Aashi in her arms, sleeping soundly on her chest. As soon as she sees her, she falls in love with this innocent soul again. With tearful eyes, she kisses her forehead and caresses her tenderly. Suddenly, she realizes that she is not alone in the room; Prakram is also present, prompting her to properly caress her dupatta. She did not know when she fell asleep with Aashi. Prakram had come into the room to take Aashi home, but he saw that Aashi was sleeping very lovingly clinging to Avishka's chest, and she too had kept her in her arms very lovingly, and perhaps she too had fallen asleep because very strong injections were being given, as he just found out from the doctor because she was repeatedly complaining of pain, due to which the doctor was also very worried.

Because Avishka was holding Aashi, he was unable to remove her from her arms. Consequently, he sat there, contemplating how he could lift his daughter. That is why he called Padma there after telling Armaan. Just then, he noticed tears streaming from Avishka's eyes, prompting him to silently gaze at her face. Either he is able to see her eyes, or the scarf flying lightlyin front of her face gives him a glimpse of her face, which is no doubt very beautiful. Avishka immediately opens her eyes, kisses Aashi's forehead very lovingly, and caresses her. Prakram has been closely observing her every action for the past two days. She tenderly feeds Aashi and puts her to sleep, a commendable act considering the difficulty of feeding Aashi. Aashi hardly eats even a single roti (bread) in the whole day, whereas Avishka feeds her one to one and a half roti very lovingly and easily during dinner itself, due to which, for the last two days, Prakram also brings Aashi to the hospital here without any delay.

It is not at all that he has started trusting Avishka, but now he is finding it quite appropriate to bring Aashi to Avishka to fulfill his selfishness because Aashi not only listens to all her words but also eats the food very comfortably. Rather, he has noticed that Avishka explains many things to her very well, whether it is related to studies or understanding anything. Immediately, Avishka sits down, realizing that Prakram couldn't take Aashi away from her, as she had fallen asleep with her in her arms. Prakram also rises and begins to hold Aashi in his arms. As a result, Avishka carefully wraps Aashi in a blanket and hands her over to Prakram, ensuring that she doesn't disturb her sleep or feel cold when she leaves. Meanwhile, Padma has arrived there with Armaan. Seeing Padma coming there, Prakram looks at Avishka at a glance and then says to Padma.
