Two days passed , Jia was also busy handling things at office behind Kabir and she was rest assured as Neha was taking good care of the kids .
Whereas Aryan was searching for his daughter everywhere he could. Well he could easily hire someone for it but he knew it was his fault and now he has to search for Arisha on his own.
Aryan got some hints that Jia could be at Pranav's house so he was sure that his daughter must be there as well...
It was around four when he reached Pranav's mansion and heaved a sigh of relief... Finally he will meet his daughter.
Just as he was about to reach the gate a black car swished out... He caught glimpse of Ishani and knew he was correct.
Aryan started following the car and in half an hour they were in amusement park...
He parked his car and ran inside looking around frantically. The amusement park wasn't crowed but extremely huge...
He found Arisha , Ishani and a boy sitting on a bench with a black suit guard standing behind them...
Neha told the kids to not move from there while she went to bring tickets for the rides.
Aryan blinked his moist eyes when he saw his daughter after so many days... He looked to her standing at a distance.
" Arisha... Chachu.." Ishani told Arisha who was busy listening to Ruhaan's non-stop rants.
Arisha looked in the direction and found her dadda standing there , she stood up from the bench but hesitated to go to him .
What if he got angry..!? What if he shouted at her..!? She thought.
Aryan understood her hesitation and sat on his knees opening his arms wide and gesturing her to come.
Arisha smiled and ran to hug her dadda...
On the other hand Ruhaan frowned seeing Arisha hugging some men , he ran to Neha who was buying tickets nearby.
" Nanna... Nanna... Someone is hugging Arisha..!" He said and Neha frowned .
She held his hand and they came back and found the men still hugging Arisha , she couldn't see his face and went near them.
" Excuse me..!"
Aryan's body went stiff , he can recognise that voice even in his unconscious state... He snapped his head in the direction still holding Arisha in his arms.
His heart stopped pounding for a second when he saw the women's face.
" Can I know your good name..? " Neha asked but Aryan couldn't manage to let out any words .
" Aunty he is my dadda." Arisha said .
" Oh... " Neha exclaimed.
" Dadda..." Arisha understood her father's emotions and cupped his face turning him to look at her.
" She is Neha Aunty... Ruhaan's care taker." Arisha told him and Aryan nodded in daze.
Just then Neha got a call from Jia who was at the entrance of amusement park with Kabir and asking for their location... After few seconds Jia and Kabir also came there and got shocked seeing Aryan there .
He looked pale but Arisha as a mature daughter was supporting her dadda. Jia asked Neha to look after Ishani and Ruhaan who left them alone and went to the kids.
" Aryan..."
" Jia... Kabir... She... she.."
" I know I was also shocked when I saw her ." Jia said and Kabir made Aryan sit as he looked mortified.
" Aryan hold yourself together she is just our Aisha's look a like.."
" But Kabir-"
" Aryan I was present when..." Kabir stopped himself as narrating and remembering all that was really painful for everyone.
" Dadda..." Arisha called Aryan who looked down on his lap and blinked his tears back.
Arisha hugged him tightly and Aryan hugged her back trying to hold all his emotions together... Himself together.
It was late evening when they all went back to Pranav's house and Kabir introduced him to Aryan and ofcourse Pranav knew him as Aryan is a big name in business world.
Aryan kept glancing at Neha now and then , he sometimes felt like hugging her in his arms but what if Kabir is right and she is just Aisha's look a like but what about his heart , what about his brain that kept telling him only one thing....
That's your Aisha..
After dinner Pranav took Aryan to guest room who thanked him and left after giving him a smile.
Aryan lied on the bed lost in deep thoughts when the door to his room opened slowly and shut down... Arisha climbed on the bed and Aryan pulled her over his chest and kissed her head...
" My baby why didn't you sleep yet ? " he asked caressing her small back.
" I missed you dadda.." she said hugging him by his neck.
" I missed my baby Angel too... I am so sorry Beta. I am really a bad father -"
" You are the best father Dadda ! " Arisha said looking up and Aryan kissed her forehead.
" I will never ever shout at you mera baacha.."
" No dadda if you won't shout at me then I will become a spoiled kid and I don't wanna be a bad girl."
" My princess can never ever be a bad girl... She is the best." Aryan said hugging her more tightly.
There was silence in the room for sometime when Arisha spoke..
" Dadda... Do you also think that Neha Aunty is my mumma..!?" Arisha asked and looked up at her father's face .
Aryan slowly nodded , father-daughter's thought articulated too perfectly in that moment .
" I just feel it's... It's your mumma.."
" I never met mumma but I also feel that she is my mumma..." Arisha said and sniffed missing her mother.
Arisha only cries when her father shouts at her or when she misses her mother and rest other time she is that mature self controlling girl everyone knows .
Aryan pulled Arisha more into his arms , hiding her face in the crook of his neck and rubbing her back soothingly while he himself was shedding silent tears.
He realised what a terrible father he has been to his daughter... How much his daughter needed him but he was never there for her just like his own father was never there for him.
Slowly the father-daughter duo slept crying silently and hugging each other.
