Nakul cradled Aisha close, her soft giggles melting away his anxieties as Riya stood beside him, her eyes filled with love. For a moment, the world outside seemed to fade, leaving only the three of them—Nakul, Riya, and their little princess—safe in their own bubble. Riya gently placed her hand on Nakul's arm, offering comfort through her touch. They shared a quiet moment of understanding, bound together by the new chapter of their lives.
Aisha, sensing the peace around her, playfully grabbed Nakul's finger, her bright eyes gleaming with mischief. Nakul smiled widely, his heart swelling with love. Riya laughed softly, brushing a lock of her hair behind her ear as she watched father and daughter bond.
"She's a little you," Riya said, her voice filled with wonder. "So much fire and life already. She's going to grow up and make you chase her all over the place."
Nakul chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm afraid I'll be chasing her even more than you think."
In that moment, everything felt right. The storm they had weathered together—the fear, the uncertainty, the sacrifices—had led them to this tender family moment. Nakul felt a sense of peace he hadn't known in a long time. They were a family now, bound by love and shared purpose.
But, beneath that warmth and joy, a lingering shadow remained. The mystery. The curse that had haunted Nakul still lurked in the background, refusing to be forgotten.
