CHAPTER 6
*He enters with slow steps, and his eyes are only on his little baby lying in the hospital cradle. His baby had come into this world only a few hours ago, and for the first time after seeing her, there had been such a sparkle in his eyes. Which no one has ever seen. He approaches her with great affection, attempting to caress her cottony cheeks, but his fear of hurting her with his rough pores prevents him from doing so. He is unable to control himself, so he touches her cheek out of fear, and as soon as he touches her cheek, the little girl smiles softly with her tiny, close eyes, and seeing her smiling, he too is smiling immediately.
But within a few moments, his smile turns into anger, and he looks towards the woman lying nearby who is sleeping very comfortably. With so much anger and hate, he moves towards her, immediately grabs her neck, and starts pressing her tightly. She opens her eyes and looks at him. She grabs both of his hands, attempting to break free from his grip, but her efforts are futile. She is suffering a lot, but his blood-filled eyes are not ready to feel her pain at all.*
Prakram 's eyes suddenly open, and he immediately starts looking at the rising sun outside the window. God knows how many times, even today, he remembers all these past events and wakes up like this every time. He immediately grabs his mobile, glances at the beautiful photo of his daughter, and gives her a kiss.
“No power in this world can separate you and me."
He was well aware that it would be midnight there and Aashi would be preparing to sleep, but as soon as he saw her photo, he felt compelled to talk to her, so he immediately called his mother. Seeing Sandhya's phone ringing, Aashi quickly jumps and takes the phone because she knows that no one else can call except her father. Digvijay, who was trying to make Aashi sleep, looked at the phone with frustration, but she smiled at her grandfather and quickly picked up the phone.
“Papaa…”
"Hey, my princess... You have not slept yet; why are you awake?
“I have been telling Grandpa for so long that I want to talk to you, but he is not listening to me.... he is also a stubborn kid.”
Prakram is well aware that his father is upset with him because he is not following his instructions and is preparing for marriage. Additionally, Sandhya might not be present, which is why Aashi is complaining about Digvijay.
"Okay, your papa quickly realized his daughter was missing him, so he called Ashu."
“yeee… I love you."
“I love you too, my child."
“I miss you, Papa.”
There is a lot of sadness in these words, which Prakram immediately felt. He has been away continuously for the last two months due to some work and has not been able to meet his daughter, so he understands Aashi's sadness too.
“Papa missed you too, my love."
After they had been talking for a while, he noticed that Aashi was starting to feel sleepy. Therefore, he began to speak more sweetly, which led to Aashi falling asleep with the phone in her ear. Digvijay disconnected the phone quickly when he saw she had already slept. Prakram realizes that Aashi is asleep; her photo is still in front of him. Then Armaan comes to say something to him.
“Sir… Our shipment is getting delayed by 10 days as it is being brought through a very long route.”
“Hmmm….”
“Sir, any problem?"
“We are going to India.”
.
.
.
“Y for yak and z for zebra.”
As soon as Aashi finishes pronouncing the entire alphabet, Avi becomes very happy after receiving applause, and as a reward, she makes her wear a very beautiful and lovely tiara on her head. As soon as Aashi wears the tiara, she starts jumping with joy. Every bodyguard present is also smiling. And Sandhya, sitting nearby, knows no bounds to her happiness. She says this to Avi.
"I have only been coming continuously for 15 days, and you have taught her everything that a 3-year-old child knows, whereas three nannies in the house together cannot do all this because it doesn't matter to anyone. Her father is going to be very happy when he learns about all this."
Avi's focus is not on anything, but on Ashi, who is jumping with joy and slowly becoming her life. Aashi hugs her tightly and kisses her cheeks; Avi smiles broadly and kisses her back. Sandhya is very happy to see both of them sitting there, massaging her feet lightly. Due to the continuous round around the temple, she is having a lot of pain in her feet. Avi starts looking at her very carefully. But then Sandhya tells everyone.
"It's time for us to depart; if we don't, your sir will likely call and cause trouble until we get home."
Aashi immediately falls into Avi’s arms, and she does not get down until she reaches her car. Every day, Aashi comes into Avi's arms in the same manner from the temple and sits straight in the car. After sitting in the car, Sandhya and Aashi wave at Avi, which prompts her to smile softly and begin saying goodbye to them.
Slowly, the car starts disappearing from her sight, and as soon as the car completely vanishes in front of her eyes, the smile on her lips completely disappears from his face. Padma and Vishnu see this thing every day now. She turns and begins her work immediately, as if she weren't even smiling, Vishnu says softly, his gaze fixed on Padma.
“You have no idea what you have done."
“I just wanted her happiness."
“You must understand very well that our Avi's heart has started beating a lot more for Aashi. Aashi is coming now, and if she doesn't come in the future, our Avi will be the one who will feel the most sad."
Padma nods her head lightly because she, too, understands Vishnu's words very well.

As soon as Aashi returns home from the temple, she continuously tries to try her father's mobile, which is not connected.
“Why isn’t Papa picking up the phone?”
“He must be busy with some work; now you should quickly prepare to eat your favorite pudding."
However, Aashi needed to call her father, who was not answering the phone. As a result, she became upset and immediately ran to her room, where her father had left all of the toys she frequently played with. When the memories of her father begin to trouble her, she sits down with the toys.
“Aashi….”
Sandhya's voice is trying to stop her, but Aashi immediately comes to her room and hugs the biggest teddy bear.
"Papa, I miss you."
“I MISS YOU TOO, MY BABY."
On hearing this voice, Aashi immediately starts looking around the room, and suddenly Prakram comes out smiling from behind the door, due to which she immediately runs to him. He picks her up in his arms, gently tosses her in the air, catches her again, and says so while hugging her tightly.
"You are missing your father; how can he stay away from you?"
She wraps both her small arms around his neck and tells him very lovingly.
“I miss you so much papa."
“I miss you a lot."
Both of them immediately come downstairs, and Sandhya becomes extremely happy upon seeing Prakram , prompting her to immediately serve food. Prakram sits with Aashi in his lap and starts feeding her. The tiara worn in Aashi's hair is attracting his attention again and again because the very faint fragrance emanating from the flowers is very pleasant. He immediately says,
“Beautiful…”
Aashi immediately looks at her father and finds that his attention is on her tiara, due to which she laughs, takes the tiara off her head, puts it on her father's head, and starts laughing loudly while clapping.
Prakram also starts laughing with her, which is quite normal for him. He becomes a child with Aashi, and he spends his time with her with great pleasure. Shortly after having food, Aashi starts yawning as per her habit due to an afternoon nap; as a result, Prakram takes her in his arms and starts walking towards his room, patting her lightly. After some time, Aashi sleeps soundly, and Prakram is still walking here and there, holding her in his arms, because he does not want her to suddenly break her sleep, even by mistake. He will not put her to bed until he is completely sure that she has slept well. While roaming here and there in the room, his eyes fall on the big mirror, where their reflection is clearly visible. Still wearing the tiara on his head, which Aashi made him wear in her play mood, he smiles and puts it off, and very securely, he lays Aashi on the bed and puts the tiara on her head again. Although Aashi is already an angel, the tiara enhances her beauty. He smiles and says,.
“I will have to ask the tiara maker to make such beautiful tiaras for my daughter every day."
He kisses her forehead and keeps looking at her without breaking his gaze.
