“Ashu loves temples."

“Ohhh, you will go tomorrow, Aashi didn't play today.”

"I just told you that I was sad and I was just sitting sad... And when I'm sad, I don't do anything."

"Oh, I forgot that... I am sorry, darling."

"It's okay.... What have you done all day?"

"I woke up in the morning, and I missed my princess a lot. Then I had breakfast. Even then, I missed my princess a lot. I spent the whole day working, missing my princess, and I was waiting for when my princess would be free and call me."

Her laughter suddenly echoed in his ear. He started listening to his daughter's laughter very well with his eyes closed.

"Don't be sad, sweetheart."

"But I am not feeling good after coming from the temple."

"You now accompany your grandmother to the temple on a daily basis; therefore, why are you experiencing any sadness, my dear?"

"Because grandma said that she would do this for 40 days, one day is done, only 39 days are left, then 38, and after that, 37... I did not like it.”

Prakram is listening to his daughter very well, and while listening, he immediately tells her.

"Where is grandma?”

"In the kitchen... After fighting with Dadu, she decided that today she would murder all the vegetables, then boil them and feed them to Ashu.”

She said her last words very dramatically. He laughs loudly, and everyone there is breathing a sigh of relief because they know that after talking to his daughter, Prakram 's mood automatically turns very pleasant, no matter how angry he is. His anger has completely vanished from his hearts and minds, and everyone is aware that the atmosphere has improved, leading to a sense of relief.

“Grandmaaa….”

Prakram can clearly hear Aashi calling her grandmother, and within moments he hears Sandhya's voice.

“Hello…”

“I don't understand why you are so upset. I am not going to marry anyone, regardless of what your husband says this time; you do not need to be concerned..."

“The only thing I am worried about is that you are not going to get married. I am not at all worried that you will marry any girl that your father chooses this time because I know that is not going to happen.”

"You have gotten into the habit of worrying unnecessarily; keep doing your favorite work. I was telling you this: Aashi likes going to the temple very much; take her with you to the temple every day.”

"I don't know about the future, but for the next 40 days she will definitely go to the temple with me because you know very well that your father does not like me going out without any reason.”

“You don't need to worry about it; I will arrange everything for it. Papa is very worried about you because you also know that you have been attacked once. That's why he doesn't want you to leave the house. I will arrange for more bodyguards for you and take care of everything.”

“Okay… Aashi will go to the temple with me every day from now on.”

Sandhya said this while looking at her granddaughter. Aashi starts jumping there and shouting loudly in happiness as soon as she hears Sandhya's words, and Prakram , who is smiling, can clearly hear her voice. He disconnects the phone and says it smilingly while looking at his daughter's cute photo on the screen.

“Keep smiling, my princess."

His eyes fell on the cut body lying in front of him, which he had cut some time ago. He sees himself; there is blood all over his body. He immediately takes off his clothes, starts leaving from there, and says to himself.

“Whenever Aashi's calls, I forget what state I am in. It's nice that she didn't make a video call.”

After he leaves, everyone looks at each other and then sees the dead body, which even his family members won't recognize now.
