Story: Tainted Bride

Avishka's eyes freeze on the spot after hearing such a loud voice. She doesn't understand what to do now. She has seen Aashi come towards her with a broad smile, as she loves how Avishka looks. Then suddenly, Prakram comes and stands in front of her. He says he is looking at her carefully from head to toe.

"You are looking good... We are going to explore the place more; come with me."

Before Avishka can convince him by saying anything, he picks up Aashi in his lap, holds her hand, and takes her outside with him.

Prakram is running behind Aashi in front. Aashi is also trying to run fast in the water because she enjoys playing with her father too much. She wants to play with her mother, but Prakram knows her fear of water, so he quickly handles his daughter very lovingly. Avishka smiled softly, looking at both this father and daughter. She doesn't know why this smile has not left her at all since last night.

LAST NIGHT

Aashi is enjoying her ice cream in the crowded dining area, and Avishka is unable to raise her eyes, even if she wants to, because she feels as if everyone around her is staring at her. She wears a very beautiful bodycon dress that looks very beautiful on her body and shows every curve. She likes this dress, especially the fabric, which is very good, and she feels so comfortable wearing it, but after coming here, she starts feeling terrible.

The man in the front seat, in particular, is staring at her excessively, causing her great discomfort. He is staring at her more intensely than usual, giving off the impression that he is eye-rapping her. She feels as though his gaze is piercing through her clothing, and he is simply staring at her. Prakaram notices her face very well; he also notices the man. He is aware that men often have an excessive fascination with beautiful girls. But when he feels that this is making her very uncomfortable, then he starts looking at the man with a questioning look, who is not at all understanding the meaning of his hard gaze and is not giving up his act, and deliberately starts staring at Avishka, licking his lips with his tongue. Prakram rises from his seat, moves forward, and positions himself in front of the man.

“Any problem..."

“Dude, what is the problem?"

Upon seeing Prakram, the man experiences a sudden shock and struggles to control his speech. Prakram glances back at Avishka, who is staring at him due to his abrupt shift to the front seat, and displays some peculiar facial expressions. In her eyes, there was not even fear but something like disbelief.

"The girl sitting in front of you is my wife, and you are constantly staring at her, making her uncomfortable. You probably don't understand the meaning of gestures. For a long time, I have been signaling to you not to do this. You did not understand what I was saying, so now I have come to tell you, DON'T YOU DARE TO STARE AT HER?"

The man is drunk, due to which he looks at Avishka carefully and says this to Prakram without thinking anything.

"This girl is so beautiful that anyone will look at her, even if he doesn't want to. Who is the fool who refuses to appreciate her beauty? What should I do now that she is your wife and is very noteworthy to observe? She is so beautiful that she can command anyone's attention. I really want her.”

Avishka has also heard this, and as a result, she stops breathing and begins searching for something to conceal herself with. Aashi stands on the chair to see her father. After listening to him, Prakram turns to face Avishka, but in the next moment, the man's scream draws her attention.

"Ahhhh…"

Prakram immediately grabs the man's hair and hits him hard on the nose with his knee, causing bleeding. Before the man has a chance to react, Prakram violently smashes the liquor bottle on his head, causing painful screams to echo in the area. Assoon as his friends sitting next to the man begin to catch hold of Prakram, he kicks one friend hard in the chest and punches the other in the throat, causing both of them to be completely unable to help him, then turns to the man bleeding from his nose. Prakram begins to approach him as he attempts to flee, but Avishka focuses her attention solely on Prakram, who has already passed by her. Without any delay, he grabs his nape and starts punching badly, and lastly, he makes the man stand in front of her and tells Avishka.

"Hit him…”

Avishka immediately looks at Prakram; it's the first time she's seen him clearly in his eyes, and the anger in Prakram's eyes is frightening. Prakram, looking even more closely into her eyes, tells her loudly, which almost scares her.

"Beat him….”

Avishka, unable to control herself, repeatedly slaps the man hard on the face, her hands never stopping. She continuously slaps the man five to six times, and after that, Prakram throws the man hard on the ground. After receiving a hit from Prakram and slaps from Avishka, that man is attempting to control himself. He has fallen to the ground, writhing in pain, and is struggling to hold back his tears, as he is on the verge of bursting. Prakram lightly pulls up his pants and squats down near him.

"Just because the girl is beautiful doesn't mean you guys have the right to stare at her excessively. By constantly looking at her with your lustful eyes, make her feel so uncomfortable that she becomes afraid to even go out. Try to hide herself from everyone. Always remember this thing and this beating. (Suddenly grab hiscollar and say in his ear very softly), Tomorrow your family will not find your even hair."

His eyes widened in fear. Prakram looks at Armaan and leaves the man, who quickly runs away. As soon as Prakram stands in front after saying his words, Aashi starts clapping loudly, and upon hearing that, all of the people present there also start clapping. Prakram looks towards Avishka, who is only looking at him as if she doesn't want to take her eyes off him at all this time. With a few tears welling up in the corners of Avishka's eyes, Prakram approaches her and tells her.

“The problem is not in your beauty; the problem lies in the eyes of people and how they are looking at you. If you become uncomfortable, then they get the full opportunity to repeat everything they did. Be confident, because if you are beautiful, it is not your mistake; it is a blessing.”

PAST ENDED

Avishka smiles and looks at Prakram, who is playing with Aashi in the water. Seeing both of them play like this, the smile on her face automatically increases. Prakram is far away from her, but suddenly she looks at him. From then on, he knows very well that she is smiling a lot seeing Aashi play like this. Sensing her smile, he smiles softly and resumes playing with Aashi. She mumbles.

"After a long time, I have realized that my beauty is not a curse but a blessing."
