Avni was sitting in her room blank, emotionless. The tear stains were seen on her face. She heard a knock at the door and went and opened the door and saw Ashish.

"May I come in princess ?"

"Why are you asking dad? Please come."

Avni went near the bed and sat there. Ashish entered her room and closed the door. He came and sat beside her and caress her hairs. Avni couldn't control more so she hugged him keeping her head on his chest and started crying. Ashish was not able to bear his child like that. He controlled his emotions just for Avni.

Ashish consoled Avni saying, "Please child don't cry. You know right I don't like my crying butterfly."

"Dad why did he broke marriage with me? Am I not beautiful? "

Ashish broke the hug and cupped her face.

"You are the most beautiful child Avni. You are wise and obedient."

"Then why he chose Di over me. Why dad?" Questioned Avni innocently.

"Avni, it was his choice to do that. He felt nothing for you he said that. It was neither your fault nor his. And whatever he did was I think good because maybe after marriage he would have told you this then it would have hurted you more. And also don't waste your these tears for a person who is not worth you, who doesn't care about you. Why are you wasting your time crying here baby? He rejected you so what, the world have not ended right? It's still going on and on. And the person you are crying for(wiping her tears) doesn't deserve this and also don't care about this." Explained Ashish softly to her.

And it is also rightly said that none should waste their time, tears and life for someone who don't even care about you and your presence.

Avni looks down listening him and agreeing to his words.

"Avni this world doesn't stop or care about anyone. It just goes on and on. The time doesn't stop. He left you it was his loss you don't bother about it. You'll get a better man than him. No rather best man. Just forget him now. He isn't worth you. You deserve this world baby butterfly."

Avni was silently looking at him and then after few minutes of silence Ashish spoke.

" Butterfly, atleast smile now. Else I will also cry. See.."

Ashish started fake crying in front of Avni and Avni laughed seeing it. Some tears fall off her eyes which Ashish wipes immediately. He also smiles seeing his daughter. Avni kept her head on his chest and hugged him. Ashish kissed her hairs.

"Dad.."

"Yes child..."

"Neil must be also broken now right?"

Ashish moves out of the hug and saw her frowning at her and she continued.

Avni continued,"No dad actually when Di was saying those words to him, I saw he was having the feeling of betrayal, his eyes were red. But none cared about him. When I was there dad, I saw many times that Rohit uncle just use to taunt him , ignore him, sometimes blame him. How he must be handling everything now that too alone?"

Ashish looks at her daughter who is cared for Neil and thought to ask about her and his alliance but shook his head thinking that it is not the right time to say this.

"Avni, Rohit may blame him, but see his so strong emotionally that he doesn't consider his thoughts much." replied Ashish to her.

" No dad, but still he may be more hurt than I am. In my case, it was one sided, only I loved Nitesh he didn't loved me back. But in his case, Di also reciprocated his love. He must be hurt right?" Ashish nods and Avni thinks.
