In the evening Ashi's dad comes home and starts looking for ashi as usual. everyday she comes running to him when he returns home but today she is nowhere to be seen. he asks her mom about her,"where is ashi?"
"in her room"
"why? wat is she doing?
"how do i know?"
dad goes to her room and he is surprised to see that she is crying.
"wat happened to my lovely daughter?"
"papa, tell me am i very ugly?"
"wat? who told u such rubbish"
"mom says i'm very ugly and nobody will marry me"
"ur mom is crazy, don't listen to her. she must have joked with u. in my eyes you are the most beautiful girl on earth, beta."
"really papa?"
"yes my doll."
ashi was very happy to hear that. we'll see in later parts how and why this incident was always recalled by her.
