CHAPTER 18
The girl smiles, takes Aashi in her lap, and looks at Prakram, who is currently very busy with the client. Looking at him, it is quite clear that this must be a very important client. Because of which he is continuously talking to him.
You can easily determine who deserves to be your mother or who loves you more. For example, there's a swimming pool behind this hall. You can walk there, jump into the pool, and the girl who saves you first will become your future mother, demonstrating her deep love for you. This is a small test to see who loves you the most. Because the one who loves Aashi the most will immediately save her."
All the girls suddenly widen their eyes and start looking at her because no one liked Roma's idea at all, but they are all very good friends, so they do not want to interrupt. After listening to her, Aashi starts smiling.
“Really… If I do this, I will get a very loving mom who loves Aashi so much."
"Yes, sweetheart..."
Aashi is a small girl who does not know many things at all, that she should not obey everyone, and that everything that others tell her is also not right. She immediately smiles at everyone and waves her hand. Roma smiles victoriously, and Aashi quickly goes away from there. Roma starts smiling more at her plan, and the other girls immediately get frustrated at her.
“Have you lost your mind? What nonsense were you doing with that little girl?"
"You have lost your mind that you cannot understand this simple thing: even if that girl does this by mistake, I am the first one to go there and save her; now I am going after her... Simply, dear, her father loves her, and I want to be her father's wife."
"You are really out of your mind. If her father finds out you did something like this, he won't let anyone even have your pieces.”
"It may happen that to save his daughter, he takes me in his arms, and we both spend the whole night on the bed clinging to each other."
"Stop your nonsense, and let me tell you clearly that the swimming pools here are 10 feet deep; this is not for children at all, and the swimming pool you mentioned is the deepest swimming pool here.”
"Seriously, I will get an even better reward for this.”
Roma looks towards Prakram, whose eyes are probably now searching for his daughter. She looks for Aashi, smiling softly, who is not there, and she is sure that the innocent girl has followed her advice and has gone to do the same thing as she had told her. She starts moving backwards to proceed with her plan, smiling, and as soon as Prakram does not see Aashi, he immediately bids farewell to his client and starts searching for her.
He is continuously searching for his daughter when suddenly he sees Aashi running far away from the back gate. He starts moving towards her quickly, and when Roma sees him going back to the hotel, she She immediately gets scared that if Prakram reaches there before her, then seeing her come there without any reason, he may doubt her because no one will believe the words of a small girl, but if she intentionally meets him there because he has already run towards the back, then this is actually a matter of doubt. Prakram comes running after Aashi, but his eyes suddenly become wide when Aashi suddenly jumps into the swimming pool.
“Aashhhiiii”
“Aashiiii…”

Avishka prefers to avoid the crowd as she dislikes excessive fanfare. She sits quietly in a corner seat, ensuring no one can see her. She is repeatedly remembering her father, who, just like Prakram, used to celebrate her birthday like a festival. Like Prakram, her father was not very wealthy, but he used whatever facilities he had later to the fullest. While she is smiling and thinking about these things, she hears the sound of Aashi's anklets, which she can easily recognize because there is a lot of silence at the back.
"Aashi, has she come here to look for me? This little girl...”
She immediately stands up from her seat and starts moving forward, but she notices Aashi running fast towards the swimming pool with a smile on her face. Before she reacts, that little girl suddenly jumps into the swimming pool. Seeing that she does not understand anything, she runs, limping badly but as fast as possible, to save her, and jumps into the swimming pool quickly.
“Aashhhiiii”
“Aashiiii…”
Prakram and Avishka's voices echo there in unison. She is very afraid of water, so despite being in the scouts, she never learned to swim. However, upon witnessing Aashi leap into the water, she found herself unable to resist and immediately dove into the swimming pool. As soon as she jumped, she immediately held Aashi in her arms. The swimming pool is deep, and because of the sudden jump, she was moving fast towards the lower part. She held Aashi tightly and vigorously moved her leg with one hand, determined to reach the surface in any situation and save Aashi.
As soon as Prakram notices Aashi jumping, he rushes forward, only to find Avishka leaping into the water ahead of him to save Aashi. He also immediately reaches nearby and quickly jumps into the water, and he is some distance away from Avishka. Seeing her, he realizes within a moment that she doesn't know how to swim. He dives deep and immediately holds her waist because he has seen very well that she is holding Aashi well. Aashi also wrapped both her hands around Avishka's neck, so he immediately held Avishka's waist and brought them to the surface.
Avishka takes a deep breath and realizes that the one pulling them out of the water is none other than Prakram himself, who quickly swims to the edge and takes his daughter from her arms. He pulls her hand and holds her to the stand so that she does not fall into the water again, and he sits there on the end, hugging his daughter tightly as if he is trying to calm himself down, because Prakram is the scariest person in the world, but he is a very weak person as a father. Avishka has also come up holding the stand, and seeing Aashi safe in his arms, she immediately holds her in front of her and starts checking her carefully, almost scolding Aashi.
"Aashi, what was all this? Why did you go into the water and jump like this?"
Prakram also knows very well that what Avishka is doing at this time is not wrong because of the way she jumped into the water to save his daughter without thinking anything. He has become very indebted to her. And he understands that she loves Aashi very much. Without uttering a word, Aashi gazes first at her father and then at Avishka. She maintains this constant gaze, a sweet smile adorning her small lips, as she realizes that neither of them can understand her actions. But both of them guess that perhaps she did all this out of mischief, and now she is afraid to say anything. Avishka immediately takes Aashi into her lap and kisses her lovingly.
"Aashi, don’t ever do that again.... Don’t do that, dear."
Armaan and some bodyguards, not finding Prakram inside, immediately came towards the back to search for him everywhere, and as soon as they saw the scene behind them, they had made arrangements for no one to come there, so only those people were there. However, as soon as he arrives, Prakram immediately gets up after seeing them there, his gaze fixed solely on Avishka and Aashi. Avishka is still loving Aashi very well and is constantly trying to convince her about many things, and with her wet scarf, she is trying to wipe her face and hair cautiously.
Prakram opens his suit jacket and sees his daughter, who is smiling continuously. She is neither scared of anything nor nervous at all, but unlike others, she is constantly smiling. It is more strange, but the way her eyes are fixed on Avishka today, he is giving a different idea that he cannot pay attention to these things at this time, so he immediately tells Avishka.
"Avishka…"
When she hears her name for the first time in his very heavy voice, Avishka immediately realizes that she is not alone there at all. She immediately turns to face him, prompting Prakram to turn his gaze towards her as well. Her scarf was not properly on her, but she quickly corrected it and was standing right in front of him.
"Get Aashi’s clothes changed."
Aviksha can only nod because the entire incident has frightened her, making it difficult for her to recognize her appearance. Her wet clothes clung to her body, Her entire suit had gotten wet and stuck to her body. Prakram looks at her once, from top to bottom, and then turns to see all his bodyguards who were looking at Avishka. As a result of their intense stares, Avishka shifts her focus to them, realizing that she has forgotten that her dupatta did not cover her properly. Meanwhile, everyone is staring at her drenched body with disdain. She quickly grabbed it and covered herself, not caring if it got wet.
Prakram has come to know very well that she keeps her face hidden all the time and does not like anyone to look at her, due to which he stares at all of them by raising one of his eyebrows, with anger, and everyone's faces suddenly hang low because of his only look, but their stares already scare Avishka; she shivers suddenly and curses herself for her stupidity. Armaan also clenches his teeth at their actions and speaks to Prakram.
"Your clothes have also become completely wet, sir. We have booked a room here for Madam; your luggage is kept there; you should immediately go there and change your clothes."
Prakram just shakes his head, and Avishka immediately takes Aashi into her lap, as if she will protect her from this slight coldness by holding her in her arms and especially covering herself from these predatory eyes. Prakram turns again and again to see Avishka, who is walking behind with Aashi in her arms while continuously patting her lovingly. He knows very well that all of Avishka's clothes are wet, and she would not have brought spare clothes here for herself. But at this time, it is most important for him to change Aashi's clothes because he does not want Aashi to fall ill at all, so he ignores everything and starts walking fast.
But he is sensing very well the strange change that has taken place in Avishka's behavior and how she is trying to hide herself by clinging to Aashi. They immediately come into the elevator. Prakram turns angrily to face everyone and says,
“Armaan, no one should come with us except you, and I would like to meet all these people personally tomorrow.”
“Sure sir…”
As soon as they hear Prakram, there is an atmosphere of fear. Prakram immediately takes Aashi into his lap, who is continuously smiling at him. He expresses his happiness at seeing his daughter absolutely safe, while kissing her on the forehead. Is.
"You are my life; what will I do if something happens to you?"
With a smile on her face, Aashi immediately kisses Prakram on the cheek. Without any delay, she also kisses Avishka, causing Armaan to smile softly. However, Avishka remains in a corner, as she always does whenever father and daughter are together. She doesn't want to come between them, and Prakram has started looking at Aashi in a strange way due to her sudden actions.
