chapter 88

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!GChapter 88 :Aadhya stared at him for a long moment, her eyes flickering between everyone in the room. The fear of being separated from her father was clearly written across her face.Shaking his head with a soft sigh, Parasuram stepped forward. Placing a firm yet affectionate hand on Nandu’s shoulder, he gently chided,“Nandu! Don’t spoil her with your pampering. She’s not a little girl anymore. She needs to learn responsibility—to be the woman of your life. You must be strong when it’s time to take important decisions”.Turning to Aadhya, his voice softened as he continued,“Aadu! Being Nandu’s wife, it’s your duty to go with him to his house. That’s our tradition. Didn’t your mother come with me, leaving her family behind? It’s the destiny of every woman to leave her parental home and become part of her husband’s family”.He paused for a moment, then added with a subtle touch of humor and concern,“Don’t make things difficult with your childishness. People will think I failed to raise you right”. He gently rebuked her, though his eyes glistened with love and unspoken pain.Feeling overwhelmed with emotion, Aadhya opened her mouth to reply—but Nandu gently cut her off.“Uncle!”, he said firmly, turning to Parasuram with respect in his tone,“please don’t make it harder for her”. His voice was steady, yet laced with emotion.“We both know the circumstances under which our marriage took place. I never intended to marry her until she was truly ready, ready to face the aftermath and accept this bond with her whole heart. But fate had other plans, and I had no choice but to marry her in that moment”.He paused for a breath, his eyes flickering with the weight of memory. “Did you forget how many days it took for me to regain her trust? After all the pain, the torment she went through, I can’t— I won’t —force her into anything now. I don’t want to rush things. I don’t want her to feel suffocated by my decisions”.Turning back to Aadhya, he softened. “Let her think. Let her choose. I’ll stand by her no matter what”.Then, looking once again at Parasuram, his voice grew stronger—quiet but final. “Even when we grow old, I’ll still pamper her like this. My love for her is eternal. I will never impose my decisions on her—especially if they make her uncomfortable”.His words, though calm, carried the depth of a promise. One that would not waver.-  *KRISH*
