Story: Tainted Bride

Hearing her father's words, Aashi starts clapping, due to which Avishka's attention comes back towards her. She jumps happily in her lap, due to which she also starts smiling lightly. Prakram also takes one look at her smile and then starts taking his daughter from her lap, but she clings to Avishka completely and tells him.

“Mumma will save me... You want to take me away from my mom.”

Prakram knows very well that Aashi did not like this at all. He spoke angrily to Avishka and said that if she could not go with them on the journey, then he would make arrangements to switch her. For this reason, Aashi had not spoken to him for two hours, but since boarding the plane, she has been in constant communication with him, expressing her happiness.

"Sorry, I was angry, so I said that I am not taking you away from your Avu, okay?"

"Mumma…"

The insistence on calling Avishka her mother sometimes leads to very strange situations for both of them. At this time, Avishka is looking at him through her veil, and Prakram is trying to see her face hidden in her veil. In a moment, both of them turn their faces away from each other, and Avishka stands there, taking Aashi in her arms so she can move around a bit before putting her to sleep. Prakram also understands her situation very well, so he doesn't say anything further. He leaves the area where Armaan is working and sits close to him while he is working on his laptop. Arman then promptly informs Prakram.

“Avishka said that she does not have any of her documents with her, so she cannot go to Australia, so I told her that we can get a fake passport made for her. She did not give me any answer; it's like she said nothing but wanted to stay with Aashi but was not even ready to say.”

"Do whatever you want to do because Aashi will not go without her; the better we both understand this, the better.”

“Sir, I have understood, and you can see for yourself that what three nannies could not do, she can do it alone very easily. The truth is that Aashi is comfortable with her and wants to live with her; because of this, everything is easy.”

"Hmmm. Did you complete the tasks assigned to you?

"Sir, I am worried about this. We are fully prepared from our side, but I do not feel that the intentions of the gang in front are right. The most significant issue is that Aashi is accompanying us, which leads me to believe that you made a poor decision this time out of anger.

"You know very well that Aashi cannot get even a scratch.”

"I know very well that in your presence no one can do anything to your daughter, but you are forgetting that even if you do not attack women and children, the person in front of you is an absolute animal; he does not care about anyone.”

"If this happens, this time I will not spare him."

Armaan just nodded his head. Prakram tries to peek behind the curtain. Avishka is still walking around with Aashi in her arms, even though she knows very well that Aashi is asleep, he has often seen that Aashi is asleep despite this, Avishka often keeps Aashi close to her, lovingly caressing her. Seeing this, a slight smile appears on his lips because now he also appreciates the bond between Avishka and Aashi very much and has started appreciating it.

CHAPTER 27

Aashi is delightedly jumping around on the bed while the mattress here bounces wildly, which causes her to do so with enormous volume. Both Prakram and Avishka are laughing at her, and she is laughing loudly while jumping continuously. As a result, her laughter has started resonating in the room. Prakram turns towards Avishka, who sees a very wide smile on her lips, and tells her.

"Aashi should not leave the room at all. My room is next to this one, and I will often be late for meetings, so you should take Aashi with you and sleep nearby. Bodyguards will be present outside the room all the time, so there is no need to be afraid; the most important thing is that Aashi will not go out anywhere until I come.”

Avishka is a little uncomfortable after listening to this instruction because Aashi is a small girl and she is very fond of playing outside. Although the room is very big, often the children insist on going out, which is necessary for their development.

"But, sir, Aashi likes to play outside very much.”

"I understand, which is why I clarified that we should not permit Aashi to leave the room at all. This is not a home; it is an unknown place, and Aashi needs to be taken even more care of here; such instructions have never been given at home, which means that we need to take more care here.”

Avishka understands Prakram's point very well and looks at Aashi, who is currently running around the room and gazing towards the sea, which she finds quite appealing.

"Papa, look how much water there is.”

"Yes, my doll. There is a sea here."

"I have to take a closer look.”

"Today you rest, and tomorrow Papa has a lot of work, and the day after tomorrow I will definitely take you there.”

"Now…"

"Aashi, no stubbornness; it's already evening..."

"Please, one time."

Avishka steps forward to take Aashi into her lap, but Prakram immediately takes her into his lap, looks at Avishka, and informs her.
