CHAPTER 92
Avishka is sleeping soundly; he is gently massaging her scalp because she doesn't feel like getting up from the bed, or rather, from her special mattress. As a result, she is lying silently on top of him, refusing to let him move. Prakram is also enjoying this very much, so he is just caressing her hair while smiling. Knowing that she is awake, he speaks.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
As soon as she replies, he kisses her on the forehead and starts looking towards the window, where the sun has started shining brightly, due to which he knows that if he doesn't hurry up, Aashi will start banging on the door loudly. He immediately picks up Avishka in his arms, throws her on his shoulder, and takes her to the washroom, where the loud sound of both of them laughing starts.
All of them had come to Punjab; Sonali and Advait immediately went to the farm house with Padma and Vishnu; while all of them came home, Arun and Varun had gone to Delhi as they had been in Guwahati for a long time. However, they will arrive in Punjab soon. Even Priya is very excited to settle down with Varun, as she wants to be part of this self-made family, which is no doubt very beautiful.
With a smile on her face, Avishka sits with Aashi on her lap and begins feeding her, while Digvijay and Sandhya gaze at each other. Prakram has told them as much as he should have told them, due to which sometimes they are looking at Prakram and sometimes at Avishka. But Prakram starts looking at both of them, due to which they start eating his food silently. Digvijay is very happy with his granddaughter, and of course he also has a desire for his grandson, but now he doesn't want to raise this matter because he knows that Prakram is happy with Avishka, and hence he does not want to create any problems in their happiness.
Sandhya's eyes are going to Avishka again and again, because since she has come to know a lot of things about her past marriage life, while being a woman, she is feeling every pain of Avishka. She is crying just thinking about all this. Prakram didn't inform them about Rajeev and Sanjeev's fraudulent activities involving women, instead focusing on the abuse she endured at home and her husband's sexual assault. It has been said that, due to this, she has become very distressed after hearing these things. Digvijay has always held a deep respect for women, which makes it difficult for him to comprehend how someone, even at such a low point, could do something that would incite them to hate humans. All this is true; he wants to completely forget everything and concentrate only on his family, as his son with this girl, but right now everything is very new for him, so he is just silently looking at Avishka and Aashi. They are incredibly happy with each other.

Sonali is sitting with her head bowed, and everyone is holding back their laughter. Even Prakram is able to stop his laughter with great difficulty, but he scolds Sonali and says this.
“You'll just listen to me, and I don't want to hear anything else."
"I don't like studying at all; I don't want to study."
Prakram and everyone else want Sonali to continue her studies, but she has no interest in studying. This lack of interest prevents her from studying even when she wants to, which is extremely boring for her. When she does start studying, she quickly falls asleep on the table in front of her tutor.
"Well, listen to me. I am giving you a very wonderful teacher who will not only help you in your studies, but from now on he is going to take care of everything about you, whether it is about your grooming, your confidence, material art, and yes, very importantly, bullet shooting."
Sonali suddenly starts looking at him with wide eyes, due to which everyone laughs loudly; even Armaan, standing behind Prakram, starts laughing loudly. Sonali looks at him, then starts looking at Avishka. She comes sitting near her while laughing, and hugs her by saying.
“Sonali, we have seen a lot of negative things in life; now we have to see only the good. Studying is going to increase your confidence, and at the same time, you can do a lot of things. Although you have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills, the world can be extremely challenging. There are many fraudsters who can take advantage of your being less educated, so make yourself such that no one can take advantage of you. At least just tell yourself that you know about some basic knowledge of business or any job because, being in 12th grade, you didn't get any good jobs.”
Sonali is understanding her words very well, and the truth is that she also does not want the world to take advantage of her, so she nods her head.
“That's like a good girl..... Armaan.”
Prakram shouts loudly. On hearing Armaan's name, Sonali's eyes widen, and she stops looking at Armaan, who was looking only at her. She keeps staring at him, and Prakram tells her this.
"From today onwards, you are Armaan's responsibility."
Sonali immediately starts looking at Prakram, due to which he tells her instantly.
"From today onwards, Armaan will take care of the material art, everything, and every single thing of your studies, and you will also have to study with Armaan in everything because he knows everything very well. And he is going to stay here to keep an eye on you, whether you are doing well or not. In short, you are 24/7 under someone's guidance."
Armaan immediately goes ahead and stands in front of Sonali, extends his hand to shake with her, and tells her.
"Hello, I am Armaan.”
Sonali looks at him as if she knows him, but it's their first proper introduction. She then starts to look at his hand, which is pointing towards her because he wants to shake it. However, Sonali still struggles to overcome her fear of touching someone else, which is why she just starts looking at his hand, Arman explains.
“Unless you learn to face your fear, your fear continues to scare you.”
Sonali suddenly looks at him and then again looks at his hand and very slowly extends her hand, holding it lightly from the side of his fingers, and tries to do a handshake by touching his fingers only, but immediately, when she starts pulling her hands back, Armaan holds her hand completely and tells her.
"When you have moved ahead with so much confidence, remember that you have to leave the fear behind completely."
Prakram is smiling, looking at Armaan, and Avishka is feeling very relaxed, seeing Armaan and Sonali holding hands. Then, a slight noise begins to emanate from that hall.
"I said no, I would make it."
"Mom, you don't know at all that... in front of you is the world's greatest chef, Advait, who can prepare any such dish; hence, today, in the joy of the arrival of a sister and brother-in-law, if Advait has not only prepared the food, then only Advait will serve it."
Advait is very happy about everything because he has been here for the last month, and he is not only noticing the gradual change in Sonali. Particularly, he finds immense joy in witnessing his sister Avishka's happiness, a feeling that fills him with boundless joy. He communicates with Arun and Varun on a daily basis, expressing his deep longing for them, and he has also communicated with Prakram, giving him confidence that both of them will return soon.
Padma immediately turns to face Avishka, expressing her dissatisfaction over the abundance of servants in the house, which relieves her of the burden of work. But with great difficulty, she started cooking. Despite her efforts, Sonali still forbids her from making any food. At the same time, Advait wouldn't allow her to touch anything. She used to help Sonali, at least in chopping vegetables or anything, but Advait does not allow her to do even that. Padma feels like she is doing nothing, Padma is staring at Avishka to gesture that she say something to her brother, but Avishka tells Padma to smile.
"I am not at all going to get involved in a mother-son fight. Both of you should resolve your matter on your own. Why don't you do this? Pick up the ladle that he repeatedly snatches from your hand and give him a few beatings from the same one.”
On hearing this, Padma quickly picks up a ladle, Advait runs away from there, Vishnu and Prakram start laughing, and Padma looks at Advait, who is waiting for her to come behind him with a smile.
.

Prakram kisses her hard while biting her jaw, scratching his back with her nail in pleasure. Soon his exhausted body leans on her with a bright smile, and while Avishka is looking at him with mischief in her eyes and a very shy smile on her lips, Prakram immediately takes her in his arms, kisses her forehead, and says,.
"Damn, why did I find you late? Our compatibility is undeniable."
"Hmmm…. Now please sleep..."
Prakram soon falls asleep in her cozy embrace, and Avishka is just smiling and looking at the moonlight. There is a constant smile on her face, and she says it softly.
-Papa, you see how much happiness there is in my life. You were right when you said that you only want to fill my life with happiness.
*I am so happy to see your happiness, and I just want to see you happy like this always.
-Soon, Varun and Advait will open their own hotel. Arun has also seen a clinic here, and Prakram is ready to help him completely, but he is saying that he wants to do everything on his own, so he wants to start everything with a small clinic. Sonali is also slowly learning a lot. Papa, I am very happy.
*You have to be happy, my dear.... I choose only happiness for you.
Avishka smiles and sleeps soundly, holding Prakram. There is a constant smile on her face, which makes it seem as if she is not sleeping but just smiling with her eyes closed.

Armaan has gone a little ahead while running, but Sonali sits there on the road after being tired and seeing him running away. She remains sitting very comfortably. Armaan suddenly turns and sees Sonali, who is sitting on the road itself. When he starts coming near her, Sonali starts murmuring softly.
"He has a mountain physique, consumes a lot of food and exercise, and works out continuously throughout the day. Whether it be for studying or for not completing assignments adequately, he reprimands me. He has only two jobs left in his life: serving Avishka's Ram and scolding Sonali.”
"You are saying something."
Arman approaches her, sits in front of her, and asks her a question after observing her lips blabbering endlessly, unable to hear anything.
"Nothing; I was just tired, so I sat down."
"That's why you are told to eat whatever is being given to you."
"I don't eat anything. It's like grass. I like to vomit."
'Look, Sonali, I have already talked to the doctor. Now you do not have any problem with a shrinking stomach; your stomach has come into a perfect position, so you can eat a perfect meal very comfortably. It is you who are able to eat something."
"I don't want spicy food, I just want a little tasty food. After eating the kind of food you guys give me, I feel as if a person should not eat food at all."
"Okay, you have to eat tasty food; you have to earn it. Okay, let's have a race. If you beat me in this race today, then I will take you out for a treat this evening itself."
Sonali's eyes suddenly get big, and she starts looking at Armaan with great surprise, but Armaan immediately takes a position to run near her, and Sonali also takes a position with him without wasting any time. Sonali and Armaan have been together for six months, and their bonding has improved a lot. Sonali now talks very well and also tries very well to understand everything. She is not only comfortable with Armaan, but she is also very friendly. She is also able to express her feelings to him comfortably. And she starts running fast. While running fast, she is laughing continuously, and Armaan, who is deliberately running a little slower than her so that he can give her a full chance to win so that he can be more happy, is constantly behind her, listening to her laughter. She is running away very fast. He understands that he is deliberately winning Sonali at this moment, but a day will undoubtedly come when Sonali herself is definitely going to win.
