CHAPTER 32
AVISHKA'S POV
Avishka is continuously looking at Aashi's face and is not able to understand anything at all. There is a wedding dress lying in front of her, which is doing nothing except scaring her. She closes her eyes tightly, and like every time, Kailash's smiling face appears in front of her.
Papa, help me... I am afraid...
Sometimes we choose what we want to do for ourselves. Sometimes God knows for us what he wants to do with us, and the truth is that what we choose for ourselves also includes God's will. So whatever God chooses for us, it will only be for our benefit.
Papa, that person is a murderer, and he is saying that it is not a big deal for him to kill someone.
Many things happen in life; we don't know anything special about them. I just know that happiness has come into your life after the arrival of Aashi, and you are going to be pleased with Aashi. If he is a murderer, you are also a murderer.
She opens her eyes suddenly, despite what her father has told her, but she is not able to convince herself that she should marry Prakram; the very word marriage scares her a lot. Due to which she is very nervous, she lovingly caresses Aashi's head, kisses her forehead, stands up, and starts going towards the balcony because she sees the only way out is to kill herself because, apart from this, she cannot do anything. She worries about Padma and Vishnu, believing they are in danger because of her actions. She wants them free.
She has come to the balcony with great difficulty because she does not feel any life in her body. She was about to raise her leg, gripping the railing tightly, when she suddenly felt someone's very tight grip on her suit, causing her to turn around. Aashi is standing with her suit in her fist, rubbing her eyes.
"Aashi…"
"Mumma, don’t ever leave me again.”
Avishka sits on her knees with a jerk and starts looking at her, whose face gives her every kind of happiness and forces her to smile only and only. She struggles to understand what actions are appropriate and what are not. She just comes inside, holding Aashi's hand. She is worried about Padma and Vishnu. She hugged Aashi on her lap and laid down. She is also feeling happy, and the effects of the medicine cause her to immediately fall back asleep. She is gazing intently at Aashi, who is gripping her dupatta and suit tightly, preventing her from moving away. Observing all this, not only does she feel the urge to cry, but it also compels her to repeatedly consider that her life has indeed taken a distinct turn.
The next day, the beautician comes and prepares her for marriage, but she is not paying any attention to this thing at all. After getting her ready, the beautician smiles and tells her.
"I have never seen a bride as beautiful as you.”
The next moment, a voice starts echoing in her ears, which is just scaring her.
I have never seen a beautiful bride like you in my life. I want you to be my bride every time.
The beautician immediately leaves from there, and Avishka starts looking at herself in the mirror. Aashi runs inside and tells Avishka.
"Wow, mumma, you are beautiful."
Avishka takes a deep breath and immediately covers her face because she does not want to see herself in the mirror. Aashi tells her while entering her veil and looking at her face.
"Mumma, why are you hiding your beauty?"
“ Aashi I am scared; just don't ask me anything.”
"Okay… That loincloth uncle is calling you to sit with Papa.”
Hearing all this, Avishka's head started spinning. She feels as if she will fall while sitting. Aashi puts her small hand in her hand, due to which she holds his hand tightly. This feeling permeates both her heart and her mind. Prakram's words are also echoing, and a different kind of struggle is dominating her.
Aashi starts holding and pulling her, so she gets up and starts walking with her. Through her veil, she can see Prakram standing in front of her, his eyes suddenly looking up at her. There is no emotion on his face; he is just sitting in front of the fire. When the priest asks her to keep her hand in his, she feels herself in some kind of prison and is trying to take deep breaths, which is becoming very difficult with time. However, in the next moment, he removes the veil.
"Now that you are going to become Prakram Bundela's wife, you should not have any kind of fear; if there is any fear of anyone, then it is only me.”
After a very long time, the veil has been removed from her face, and that too in front of a lot of people, which is going to scare her. Everyone present there is looking at her beauty, while the eyes of those people are going to scare her. He feels like everyone's watching her. All the wedding rituals begin to be completed, and when Prakram comes close to her and wears the wedding chain around her neck, fear dominates her heart and mind. She cannot even express it in words, and within a few moments, darkness appears in front of her eyes.

Aashi is sitting with Avishka, Armaan, and Prakram in front. Armaan doesn't want to say anything to Prakram, but he is unable to stop himself.
"You don't know anything about this girl, and you suddenly marry her."
"It is not necessary for me to know anything now because I have noticed very well that she loves Aashi very much. The love that Aashi's own mother never showed her. "
"What would happen if you came to know something about her?"
"Now she is my wife, and I know that I was taught since childhood to treat my wife with the utmost respect and honor... Being my wife, she will receive everything, but if she doesn't receive anything, she still has my faith and trust, which are extremely valuable to me today."
Armaan immediately leaves the room now because he knows his reason for untrustworthiness. He is praying for his happiness. An innocent soul is very happy today, and two hearts are still battling for happiness.

Digvijay is playing the video of Prakram's wedding, which he received this morning, and he is silently watching it. Sandhya is not able to believe at all that Prakram has suddenly married Avishka; she is not able to understand at all why. What happened suddenly? Seeing Avishka's crying face, she immediately tells Digvijay.
"Prakram has forcefully married this girl. Padma and Vishnu are also missing from here. I am sure that Prakram has married this girl by making them a shield. How could he?”
Without saying anything, Digvijay quickly stands near the window, takes out his cigarette, and begins to smoke. However, Sandhya quickly approaches him, snatches his cigarette, and utters an angry remark.
"You know very well that as soon as you smoke a cigarette, you start coughing very badly. Still, you didn't stop this harmful habit. You should not do so. You wanted Prakram to get married; now that he has gotten married, one of your problems has been solved."
“Yes, I wanted him to get married, but I also wanted him to move ahead in his life, forget Divya completely, and learn to be happy in his life again. I don't want to see him upset and frustrated like this. Since Divya left, it's as if he has forgotten how to live; his life has only revolved around Aashi. What do you think? Don't I understand? He has forcefully married Avishka; we are Mafia, but still, I taught him to respect women. He always remembers my words: never punish an innocent person or a woman who has not forced you to punish her. He married her, not as a wife, but as a mother figure for his daughter. Together with Avishka, we could have effectively managed Aashi's life and provided her with support. The girl who comes will probably bring him happiness. I had found such a young girl for him only because somewhere I had started feeling that she was just standing at the threshold of learning. In such a situation, when the girl starts understanding Prakram, she will give him full love. Nowadays, girls, who have matured very well, are not able to understand things so easily and then directly reach the stage of divorce and separation. All in all, both Aashi and Prakram suffer. Yes, I am selfish... I am so selfish that I am thinking only about my son and not about anyone else. Why not? After all, he is my only child. Everyone in the world believes that Agnihotri's deal holds great significance for me. Agnihotri's deal held great significance for him. My son is important. I had seen a girl who was like a piece of raw clay, ready to shape and change as you molded it. As far as Roma was concerned, I knew very well that Prakram could neither like Roma nor that girl was worthy of Prakram. That is why I had told Mittal to go and convince my son; otherwise, I would also exert pressure very well, and I know very well that no matter how big a man Prakram becomes, he cannot defy the orders of his parents for long. But what Roma did was bigger than any heinous crime for which she could not get forgiveness, and what Prakram did to her was even better. No matter what I say to Prakram, I am happy with whatever he has done. But in this marriage, I am afraid."
Sandhya hugs Digvijay and tells him, caressing his back in the process.
"You calm down a little; maybe God will approve of this, and I know this much that the reason why we were hastening the marriage of Prakram has calmed down for a few days. Now you also remain calm and give him some time. Let's live some moments in life. I only know that, as much as I know Avishka, she is a lovely girl. Whether she is wealthy or not, I don't care; I just don't understand why Prakram made that decision so quickly. May it not be proved...."
"Because he knows about something here... You think that he will so easily give Avishka the status of his wife in his life when he has only brought her into his life as Aashi's mother, and most importantly, whether his decision is wrong or right, he must have investigated very thoroughly. He is Prakram; you have not even recognized him properly yet; he must have a lot of information about Avishka; that is why he has taken the decision easily.”
Sandhya quickly looks at Digvijay, and he has nothing to say to her, so he just hugs her.
