Thanks for your support and we are at the last part of the story!!! Will update the epilogue asap..!!

Some people don't know the value of a person until ,that person abruptly vanishes from their life . The moment he realised when kiara was not with him , he exactly felt an emptiness in his life. He felt like that his life has lost all its colours. Again he had been magnified in the spell called love not by her , but by their daughter.

He pressed the horn lazily tired of Mumbai city's traffic getting his concious little by little as the drugs drained from his body.

Abhi's heart starts to beat fast as the passing seconds really made him hard to breathe. This is going to continue unless he finds Kiara safe in the club. His anger aroused on himself for making a stupid move that might have put her life in danger. She is just a small girl who doesn't even have any idea about this place and on the other hand , he left her there carelessly.

Abhi rushes through the parking lot leaving his car unlocked and was clashing with the people who were enjoying their night. They groaned at him sensing his nervousness on his face and from nowhere the camera's started to click pictures of him.

The press and media were behind him who is taking his each step a bit forward to meet Kiara in that same room sleeping with her doll. Everyone were amused to see Abhi again in that club where purab was the one to notice his tension.

" Sir...!!! Sir...one photo...!!" Abhi felt many hands clinging on his coat trying to reach his hand to stop him and take a photo of him. If it was some other day , he would have clicked a lots of photos but today is not a perfect day for it.

" Sir...!!! Please can you give us five minutes..!! " a man held his hand and when he turns to remove it another one asks " Sir...!! One small interview..!!! ". Abhi had enough of it as his head felt heavy with their questions.

" Will you all...." he burst out in a warning tone and continues " just maintain silence ..!!" Abhi shouts aloud jolting his head in his hands. He closed his eyes running his hand through his hand and opens to look at them.

" I am here for my daughter..!! Can you please leave me alone so that I can search for her...!!! Will you please ...!!" He folds his hand together while purab comes near him. He surrounds his hand around abhi's shoulder and asked their men to clear the crowd.

" Kiara.....!!!" Abhi shouts taking the mix from the Dj who stopped playing the songs and looks at abhi with frightened face.

" Papa.....!!!" They heard a little sleepy voice when abhi looks around to find kiara in the crowd. It's her and he felt really worried for her. He now realised how much she had became important in these days. But his mind didn't let him to think much , as he would have done the same may be if it's not his daughter.

The whole camera's focused kiara who stands in the middle of the crowd holding her doll in the night dress. The click sound and the flashing light made her to shriek a little and saw her father standing there with a pale look on his face.

When she opened her eyes , she found herself in a dark room which had only dim lights on the top with a big mirror on the corner of that room. She felt a soft material under her and it's a sofa with a cushion below her head. Last she could remember is abhi taking her to somewhere in the car.

The lights of the club which changes from red to green and yellow as well the loud music along with the liquor smell made her to shut her mouth with her little palms. Everyone were dancing and she couldn't find Abhi anywhere. And that's when she heard abhi's voice which made the dj's to stop playing the music followed by her name in his loud voice.

As soon as Abhi saw her standing between the crowd , he felt his heart beating normally and few tears escaped from his eyes. He knelt down opening his arms for her as she rushed into him who held her tightly. He knew by allowing her near him, who is turning his cold heart softly which might give him intense pain once she left but he wants to cherish these beautiful moments with his daughter. He started to realise that the void in his life can only be filled with pragya and their daughter.

Purab is witnessing these beautiful moments which he longed to see is been happening infront of his eyes. Bulbul would have felt happy as same as him if she was present here. He wiped his tears as the time has came to get them united.

" Are you okay...?" Abhi pulls kiara back breaking the hug and cups her face in his palms " Did you got frightened when you couldn't find me...!!" He asked kissing her forehead not even minding that he is going to be the top story of Mumbai city.

" No...!! " she nods her head negatively and abhi crooked in relief. She took his hand in hers " because I know my papa will come for me...!!" She said smiling widely. Indeed he got suprised by her answer. She believed that he will not leave her alone but he had did it , seven years before breaking all the trust , pragya had on him.

" Lets go...!!" Abhi picked her in his arms as the crowd started to bombers them with question. He had no idea what he gonna answer if they ask him about kiara.

They both reached home and abhi walks into the guest room to make her sleep. Kiara looked confused at him as she thought he will taking her to his room.

Abhi slowly placed her on the bed and made her to lie pulling the quilt above her. He was about to switch on the side lamp when he noticed pragya and kiara's photo on the side table. His hand urges to trace her face but he controlled himself and looked back at kiara who is staring at him blankly.

" You dont feel like sleeping ...? " he asked adjusting her hair strands as she innocently nods her head in negative direction.

" I miss my mumma....!!" She confesses him as kiara feels alone sleeping in a giant room. Her mumma used to hug her tight and tells stories or about her childhood until she feels her eyelids heavy. But here , staring at the blank white ceiling only increased her fear.

Abhi was shocked to hear it. He fears what if she cries in late night for her mother. Where will he go and search for her ? He don't even know how to handle kids and a lump formed near his throat.

" Well...!!!" He said joining his hands together and looks at her " Then shall I ask purab to drop you in your home..!!" He asked though it was hard for him. Sure , she gonna miss her atleast for a minute.

" Then I will miss you more than mumma!!" She said pushing the duvet aside and
kneels on the bed.

" Why you gonna miss me ? I had never treated you like your mumma..!!!! I am really very bad because I never tried to meet you !!! " he said holding her hands in his. Today he is not going to run away from the truth of his life. He has to know why she likes him this much even though he doesn't reciprocate it.

" I love you more than anything in this world..!! I always wanted to meet you , to be with you..!!" She paused and holds his hand in her tiny palms and continues " I missed you every minute but more than that I missed you ; during father's day....!!" Kiara tells sadly remembering the days she spent in her school without her father on that special day and how purab used to cheer her.

" This much you love me..!!" He whispered as his fear starts to engulf him. All day ; he thought about himself but never thought about his daughter. He failed as a person as he can't make anyone happy nor he is happy with his life.

" Why you love me this much..? " he asks seeing her shrieking her eyes in confusion , Abhi continues " Your mumma will be one of top most person who would hates me..!!" He smiles a little hardly trying to control his tears.

" Who said that mumma hates you..!!! " she snaps out keeping the hands on her hips. "She loves you and...." before kiara could continue , Abhi stops her saying " You need to sleep!!! Good night..!!" He stood up and marches towards the door and looks back at kiara who wipes her tears. She lies on the bed holding her doll tightly. He switches off the lights and walks back to his room.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mumbai morning was pure bliss for Abhi. Last night , he don't want to hear anything about pragya as he will start to have feelings for her , again. When he opens his eyes to switch off the alarm , Abhi felt heavy on his left side as something soft is clinging around his abdomen. Abnormal breaths fanned near his neck and he swiftly opens his eyes wide and saw kiara sleeping near him , her arms around his chest and her legs crossed around his abdomen.

One minute , he had forgotten all his past as all he could see or think is only about kiara. The innocent face just scripted like pragya , her nose exactly like him and gently caresses her cheek.She smiles and it only remains him about pragya.

" I am sorry...!! He hissed with pain and kissed her forehead. His chain of thoughts breaks down when his phone starts to ring. Kiara stirs in her sleep as he picks the call leaving from the room closing the door properly.

" What...? Oh shit ....! !" Abhi held his head in headache and moves to kitchen preparing a strong tea for him. He had stopped drinking coffee because it was not like the one pragya prepares.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

" Abhi....!! You have been the top talk of Mumbai city as yesterday , you had left your daughter in the club !!! Your fans are really upset by your act and you are an idol to many people but are you so irresponsible? " the reporter's starts their questioning section as abhi was sitting in the press conference. Maya was standing beside him fidgeting with her hands.

" Abhi...sir, we are expecting your answers..!!" A guy said keeping his recorder in front of him.

" Can I answer...?" They heard kiara's voice who walks through the people who looked at her in awe expression. She is looking like a soft candy in her pink gown with two ponytail and a doll in her hands. Abhi was suprised by her and looks at Maya who nods her head having no idea about it.

Then Abhi saw purab standing there near the entrance waving his hand with a smile. "All is going to be good..!!" He mouthed leaving from there.

" Hi...!! I am kiara...!!" She takes the Mic keeping her doll on the table and stood infront of them with smile.

" I am his daughter and yesterday , I adamantly asked him to take me there and he has no other ways than accepting to me..!!" They laughs as abhi maintains to smile softly.

Kiara looks behind and winks at Abhi. She then nears him keeping the Mic aside and sits on his lap by surrounding her hand around his shoulder.

" What are you doing here ..?" He murmers with a cough near her ears as the press and media were snapping the pictures of this adorable daughter and father.

" Lets make a deal..!! I will take you out from this but you have to make me join in ballet class as my competitions are nearing ..! !" She again softly whispers in the same tone smiling at the crowd widely.

Seeing abhi who is engrossed in his thoughts , kiara lifts her eyebrows in question asking " Deal or no deal...?" Abhi nods his head and she squeals happily.

" He is the best father , and always care for me..!! And there is nothing wrong from his side... !! I love him so much...!!! " kiara hugs him as abhi too hugs her back.

" Abhi sir ... We must say that your daughter is so adorable ..!! And you are lucky to have a daughter like her !! She loves you so much...!! " a reporter tells and everyone agrees with him.

" No uncle ..!!! I am lucky to have him as my father..!!" Kiara adds as abhi suppressed his smile. He leans towards her saying " Enough of praising me ..!!! They might get doubt if you keep on adding things..!! Let's go ... !!! He takes her in his arms and leaves from there.

" I was not praising you..!!! I was just telling them the truth!!! I know you love me but your ego is not allowing you to confess it.." She tells and raised her eyebrows seeing him as he was caught.

Abhi was suprised by her again. The girl whom he wants to keep away from him is telling each and every thing about him. Yes he can't let anything happen to her and now he understood that she is getting more important in his life.

" I thought you will hate me..!!" Because you know I am not a good person ..! !" He said making her to sit inside the car as they reached the parking lot.

She held his again and abhi could sense a magic in it. He felt electrified by her touch which happens only with pragya.

" Who said you are a bad person..!!" He pulls his fingers gently and kissed his forehead which abhi felt pure bliss when her soft lips touched his hairline.

" The situation made you to take the decision..!! Me and mumma , both knew how much you love us..!!!" She said giggling with her toothless teeth.

His eyes starts to shed tears when kiara wiped it with her little fingers. " Shall we go..!!! You need to take me to ballet classes..!!! Remember our deal..!!" She winks at him making him to smile widely.

Kiara is finally happy that her father started to reciprocate the love which he had stacked inside him , these days.

Lots of people come into our life but they can't be our's or they can't stay in our lives. But only few , who can stay with us , care for us and remain with us for , forever. Abhi had realised what he had missed these days.

💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

" Kiara is fine right ..? " asked Pragya as soon as bulbul picks the call. When the mobile rings displaying pragya's number , both purab and bulbul were tensed whether she got to know about yesterday's incident.

" Di...!!! Everything is fine and kiara is in her dance class..!! Purab will be picking her in an hour...!! Will call you once she reach home...!!" Bulbul didn't let pragya to speak who might get suspicious if bulbul didn't answer to her.

" Are you sure bulbul ? I am trusting you a lot and I hope you too might understand what I mean...!!" Pragya tells and bulbul could sense her worry. She gazes at purab who sighed her to continue.

" Don't worry di!! Everything is going to be fine as kiara will be back to you after her competition...!!" Bulbul indirectly mentions a clue which pragya failed to notice.

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

As promised , Abhi arranges the ballet classes for kiara and spends some time in her classes with the hope that he can compromise the longing of his daughter. He allowed her to sleep in his bedroom with him which suprised kiara more because he started to love her back. He used to take her everywhere , to his practise area where she explores more skills from her father and he teaches her like a teacher , the tricks and tips in bowling as well as batting and she is enjoying her time with her father totally forgetting about the fact that she will leaving him in few days .

Even though they are bonded with each other , kiara never fails to irritate him. One day when abhi and purab were matching their match with curiosity as its the last ball and six more runs left for SA win. Their eyes were on the T.V and the batsman hits the ball with much force. When it was about to reach ground as a guy was eagerly waiting to catch it or it can be a boundary , suddenly they saw a bunny dancing showing its huge back. The channel has been changed and it's cartoon network. Both groans as kiara suppressed her laugh.

Purab laughs seeing kiara who is sitting on the kitchen slab ; grins at abhi who purposely pulled the remote from her and changed the channel. The match got ended and SA had won by 6 wickets.

They both fights for silly things as abhi feels hard to find his socks in the bunch of soft toys which was recently bought by kiara. As well , she feels difficult to find her shoes between his cricket kit.

Days rolled on and kiara had won the first prize in ballet competition. Abhi was extremely happy which he never felt while receiving his awards. And there was a small party in his house while kiara along with abhi is sitting opposite to purab and bulbul.

There was a complete silence over there , as it's the last day for kiara in Abhi's home. Abhi felt again the darkness getting shielded in his own life and if kiara leaves from here, sure silence gonna haunt him like ghost.

" Did she returned back ? " asked abhi breaking the silence as kiara looks at purab and bulbul.

" Yeah.. I hope she would have been back from trip..!!" Purab said gazing at kiara who starts to concentrate on her plate.

" Do you have her number bulbul..?" Asked abhi done with his food and forwards his hand in air.

" Why bhai..? I mean..." She paused and looks at purab who clears his throat saying " I will convey your message to her..!!"

" I need to talk with her because " he paused and looks at kiara who was looking at him in shock " I want kiara to stay here for another month...!!"

" It cant be done...!!! Mumma will not agree with this ...! !" She took a spoon full of morsel and eats fastly to leave from there. She can't let him to talk with her , if so she will come to know about the truth and will break down.

" Why...? Why I can't talk with her...?" Abhi sensed a sudden nervousness in three of them when he mentioned about pragya.

" Kiara...!!! Eat slow...!!" Purab said trying to stop her from saying truth.

" because she doesn't know I am with you...!!" She tells and hurried herself without knowing she had broke down the secret to abhi who was in state of shock.

" What...? She doesnt know...!!You lied to her...???" Abhi keeps on questioning as purab and bulbul tries to stop him . Kiara felt her head spinning around and heavy. She could hear abhi's loud voice before she passes out.

Abhi stood up to leave from there in anger as they all lied to him. He heard purab's voice and turns casually only to see kiara lying on the floor unconcious. Bulbul checks the food and hits her forehead with her palm throwing it aside.

" Kiara...!!" Abhi pats her cheeks by pulling her on his lap nervously seeing her in that state. Her breathe got hitched near her throat while bulbul brings hot water from the kitchen.

" She is allergic to cinnamon!!! And the food she ate had! !" Bulbul weeps as purab took his mobile to call for an ambulance.

Within few seconds, the ambulance reached taking Kiara in stretcher as abhi looks at her with tears filled eyes. He wants her badly to get up and say it's a joke to subside his anger and prays to god that nothing should happen to his daughter.

" Who are you to the patient ? " Abhi opens his eyes hearing a nurse's voice as purab gently pats his shoulder. They had reached the hospital and kiara was taken into the emergency ward and they three are waiting outside for past thirty minutes.

" I am ....!!" Abhi felt a lump formed inside his throat as purab encouraged him with a smile " Her FATHER...!!!" he stresses the word , unknowingly his eyes filled with tears.

Abhi was asked to sign some papers and they were waiting for the doctor to inform them that kiara is fine.

" Who the hell do you think , you are....??? " they all heard a stubborn voice and turns back to see Pragya standing there with her luggage and a magazine in her arms. Her eyes were puffy and looked pale and devastated. She walks towards him and throws the magazine on his face which hits him and drops on the floor with the front cover of Abhi and kiara.

Purab and bulbul exchanged glances between them and purab sighs bulbul to leave them alone as they need to sort out their problems at least for kiara. They both had did their job and now it's on pragya and abhi's hands.

" Pragya ....!!! I....." Abhi couldn't find the right word as he felt ashamed to stand infront of her. Seeing her after years , though bought some happiness inside him but inside , he fears whether she might take kiara from him. For the first time , he feot guilty for leaving pragya alone not even minding about the problems she faced these years.

" Not a word...!!! Enough! !!! " she stops him forwarding her hand as once again he had broken her beyond repair. She will not let him steal her daughter , even though he wants to have her in his life.

" I am taking my daughter once she gets well...!!" Pragya informs walking away from there leaving abhi all alone in that floor.

To be continued !!!

Will abhi able to stop kiara and can convince pragya ?
