CHAPTER 10
Avi hears movement around her; all she knows is that how could someone come there so soon looking for them? Was someone following them? To kill Aashi, she hugs Aashi tightly to herself and whispers this into her ears as she clings to her and cries lightly.
"Don't cry, baby... If you cry, they catch us...."
Aashi also stops crying while holding her tightly, and Avi holds the sharp stone so tightly that her own hand starts bleeding because it is already pricking in her skin. Then Avi realizes that a very tall, muscular man is standing right in front of them; he is a little away, and his back is facing them. She has to immediately run away from that man; otherwise, Aashi's life is in danger. She stands, holding the stone tightly, and immediately attacks the man's neck with it. The stone pierced the man's neck, but the man was much faster than she expected, and he immediately caught hold of her wrist in a very tight grip. Avishka didn't know he was Aashi's father, Prakram Bundela. He turns angrily towards her, and in the same moment, Aashi also turns to face him. As soon as she sees her father, she spreads her arms towards him, cries loudly, and calls out to him.
"Papa..."
Avi immediately realizes that he is Aashi's father, and she gives her a very safe embrace as she feels like she might faint at any moment as the pain is too much for her to bear. Avi holds her head and sits in front of them. She has no idea that Prakram has pointed his gun at her and is about to shoot her. She's just trying to bear the pain by holding her leg tight, which is unbearable now. She is totally unaware of what is happening; it is becoming dark before her eyes.
Prakram immediately pressed the trigger. The sound of the bullet echoes all around, and at this moment, Avi falls to the ground, but Aashi holds him tightly. He realizes that he is holding her daughter. He turned to face his mother, who was staring at him angrily. She went to the spot and removed his hand from Avi when a bullet fired, his hand up to the sky.
"You've gone completely crazy. Do you even realize what you're doing? This girl saved your daughter's life."
"I told you to go to the hospital with Armaan; what are you doing here?”
Both mother and son are talking to each other when Aashi's eyes fall on Avi, who is lying unconscious on the ground.
"Avu…"
Both Prakram and Sandhya first look at Aashi and then at Avi, who is unconscious on the ground. Sandhya immediately sits near Avi, starts checking on her, and shouts at Armaan.
"You are so blind that you fail to recognize the urgency of taking this girl to the hospital immediately."
"Papa, leave me."
Aashi begins to vigorously move her legs, attempting to push her father away from her in order to get closer to Avi. Prakram hates this but can't do anything, so he leaves Aashi on the ground. As soon as Aashi lands on the rocky ground, she immediately approaches Avi, calling out to her loudly. Prakram's eyes are only on his daughter, who has loved this unknown girl so much in her heart that he cannot see anything else except for her.
"Avu... Avu. Ashu is here. Avu. Look at Ashu."
Armaan is looking at Prakram , whose anger is clearly visible to him. Neither Sandhya nor Prakram know how to act in this situation, but his eyes are on Aashi at this time. Who is crying, seeing Avi in this situation?
“Avu… Avu…"
Armaan is completely blank as to what to do, so he starts looking towards Prakram. He can't see Aashi crying like this. Prakram clenches his teeth and then comes to the girl and immediately holds her in his arms, like carrying a sack, because he has no sympathy for anyone in his heart. He has no idea that by lifting her like this, the injured girl may face some other problems. He only knows that because of this girl, his daughter is crying at this time. Armaan immediately takes Aashi in his lap very lovingly, and Aashi keeps crying and calling out for Avi.
"Avu… avu…”
Prakram is seeing Avi's face very well, and his anger is at its peak at this time. He is hearing only the conversation of Armaan, who is coming behind him to carry his daughter; he has completely forgotten the rest of the things.
"Avu…
"Aashi, stop crying at all. Look, your father is taking your Avu to the hospital, where the doctor uncle treats her, and nothing can happen to your Avu... Look, your superhero is here.”
Prakram angrily turns and looks at Armaan, knowing full well that he won't leave this girl so easily. So why is he telling his daughter these lies? Armaan keeps his eyes down and moves ahead with Aashi.

Digvijay is furious as he sits in front of Sandhya in the hospital ward, arguing that she doesn't need to visit the temple daily. However, Sandhya has not heeded his words, and today's attack appears to be the result of someone watching them closely. Aashi has fallen asleep, crying continuously, and Prakram is sitting with his daughter in his lap.
"You wouldn't even realize that someone was constantly watching you."
"Digvijay, at this time, me and my granddaughter are absolutely fine, and all this has happened because of Avi; she is the one who injured herself to save our beloved granddaughter. I just hope that there should not be any negligence in her treatment... And means it, Digvijay."
Prakram , who was silent for a long time because of his daughter, silently makes her lie down near Sandhya, stands in front of her, and starts staring at her. Sandhya is well aware of the significance of his gaze, and she informs him accordingly.
"I have seen the world and am so sure that the girl is not behind this attack. You are unnecessarily doubting the girl. Suspiciousness has become your habit now. I don't know why you are always doubtful after Divya's death; I know her death was the result of a mafia attack, but why have you changed so much? I don't understand why these days you look at everything with suspicion... Life cannot be run on this basis of suspicion..."
"Everything is not exactly what it seems; people take advantage of you at any time; they fake innocence and take you to such a place that it becomes difficult for you to even look back."
They both start staring at him, unable to understand what he is trying to say. He turns and comes out. Armaan is currently standing with Vishnu and Padma, who are both grieving over Avi's injury, and he is conversing with them. He did not look at either of them at all because, at this moment, it was most important to handle the person who was left alive, so he immediately left from there.

Prakram 's men have beaten that boy a lot, but he is constantly refusing to say anything. As soon as Prakram comes in front, his blood dries up because of fear. He knows that his death is certain, and he cannot understand what he should do to save himself, but Prakram quickly takes the sword without delay, strikes hard at his hand, and cuts off his palm in one stroke.
"Ahhhhhh..."
"Who sent you? If you don't respond quickly, I will gather information about your entire house and proceed to kill everyone present in front of you."
"Aarif Khan…."
The boy takes his master's name without any delay because he knows that death is about timing, but if he delays too much, the painful death he will get will be worse than many deaths.
"Aarif Khan, my old enemy..."
"Ever since you came to India, we have been asked to keep an eye on you so that you could be killed as soon as we get a chance. Today, when you were seen going to the temple, a decision was taken to kill you in the temple itself."
"Hmmm. But you failed... And I hate failures."
Prakram, without any delay, inserts the sword into his heart, and the boy's life will go away in no time from his body. and tells Armaan, while cleaning the blood from his face,
"Find out if this girl has any relation to Arif Khan."
"There is no relationship between them."
Prakram immediately turns towards Armaan, and Armaan shows him the photo of the girl, which he has taken on his mobile.
"First of all, I put the photo of this girl on the net so that if she has any social accounts, then we can know about her. Her name is Avishka Sinha. She is an assistant professor of English literature at Guwahati University. Just this information is available on the internet at this time. And from what Padma and Vishnu have told me, this girl is probably in some trouble.”
Prakram turns and starts staring at him. He quickly starts telling him everything he knows about Avishka from Vishnu and Padma.
