'Dedicating this story to you my " Sister-in-law" love you a lot'
Prologue
"Tell me princess why are you so sad?" Mehul asks looking at the sorrow- stricken face of the small girl after kneeling down in front of her .She looks at him with her wide glassy eyes, She simply nods her head in no without saying anything. He takes her small hands in his "Don't you want to live with us?"He gently questions again
"I want to." the child answers in a whisper.
"Then why are you unhappy Preesha, what happened?"Mehul inquires curiously. Patting her head softly he continues "don't worry we will buy you lots of toys, there will be so many pretty dresses for you and you'll go to a big school and make so many new friends" he assures her trying to soothe the little girl.
But his words were not having any affect on her. She kept mum, while tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.
He smiled as he continues to tranquilize the little girl "we will give you everything dear, take care of you and we will love you so much little princess."
Abruptly Preesha distances herself from Mehul hearing his last words surprising him.
Taking a step back "But..."She shakes her head repeatedly "People say I'm not pretty like others, no one wants to be my friend even small children don't come near me. Reena didi says am an ugly duck and a bu--buren (burden)." her lip wobbles and few tears escape her big pretty eyes as she reveals her torment.
She wipes her tears with back of her hand "Why will you lo--love me?? After some days you will not like me just like everyone and send me back here." she says in a low trembling painful voice and she puts her head down sniffing.
Mehul heart clenches tightly hearing the sheer melancholy in the little girl's voice. He never expected such words from a small innocent child. Without delay he immediately pulls her small body in to a protective, fatherly hug.
"No dear don't think like that you are a like a pretty little angle so beautiful, pure and so sweet you can never be a burden" he consoles the small child rubbing her back in a comforting manner.
Pulling back slightly still holding her close by her arms he gently coaxes "look at me Preesha." and she obeys. Looking at her tear stained face and red eyes, he was now filled with anger how can people be so insensitive to say such cruel words to a small child he thinks to himself.
Gently wiping her tears he continues "forget what Reena didi and those people said they don't know anything and are very mean who only likes to hurt others''
"Re--really?" she questions inquisitively with wide eyes slightly hiccupping.
"Yes they are not good people they like making other sad so princess don't cry thinking about them, what they said were all lies. You are much better than any of your friends, you are one of the sweetest little girls" he murmurs softly caressing her cheeks.
"You are perfect...more than perfect for us, you are our Pretty doll and we will love to be your momma papa. We will love you very much Preesha, I would never let you cry again I promise dear" Mehul promises placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
What he didn't know at that time was it wasn't going to be that easy and he would not be able to keep his promise.
