Once upon a time, there was a little orphan girl named Sapna. She lived in an orphanage and had a disability, which made it difficult for her to walk and move around. Despite this, Sapna was a very skilled painter.

Sapna's life at the orphanage was not easy. She often felt lonely and isolated, as the other children would often play and run around while she sat on the sidelines. But she found solace in her painting. She would spend hours each day in the art room, creating beautiful paintings that would hang on the walls of the orphanage.

Sapna's paintings were so beautiful that people from the town would come to visit the orphanage just to see them. They would often ask to buy her paintings, but Sapna would always refuse. She said that her paintings were like her children, and she could never part with them.

Despite her disabilities, Sapna's passion for painting never wavered.

One day, a rich businessman named Aman Kapoor and his wife Sunita visited the orphanage where Sapna lived. They were childless and had always wanted to adopt a child. As they walked through the halls of the orphanage, they came across Sapna's art room. They were struck by the beauty of her paintings and they asked to meet the artist

When they met Sapna, they were immediately drawn to her kind and gentle spirit. They learned about her disabilities and her passion for painting, and they knew that they wanted to adopt her and give her the love and support she deserved. Sapna was overjoyed when Aman and Sunita told her that they wanted to adopt her. She had always dreamed of having a family of her own, and she was thrilled at the idea of leaving the orphanage and starting a new life with Aman and Sunita.

Unfortunately, Aman's attitude towards Sapna's disability was not as positive as his wife's. He had some reservations about adopting a disabled child and advised Sunita not to go through with it. But Sunita, who had fallen in love with Sapna's kind spirit and her passion for art, was determined to adopt her.

At first, Aman tried to hide his resentment towards Sapna. He pretended to be happy and supportive, but over time, his true feelings began to show. He would often make insensitive comments about Sapna's disability and would criticize her paintings, saying that they were not good enough.

Sapna could sense that Aman did not truly accept her and that he did not want her as his daughter. She felt hurt and alone, and she began to lose confidence in herself and her art.

Sunita noticed the changes in Sapna's behavior and realized that Aman's attitude was affecting her. She tried to talk to Aman about it, but he refused to listen and would not admit that he had a problem. Sunita knew that she had to do something to protect Sapna from Aman's negative attitude and to help her regain her confidence.

Sunita decided to take Sapna and leave Aman. She knew that it would be difficult, but she was determined to give Sapna the love and support she needed to thrive. With the help of Sunita, Sapna was able to overcome the negative impact Aman's attitude had on her and she continued to create beautiful paintings.

One day, Sapna secretly left the house without telling anyone. Sunita searched for her everywhere, but she could not find her. She was devastated and heartbroken that her daughter had left without a word. She didn't know where she went or how she was doing.

Aman, on the other hand, was secretly relieved that Sapna had left. He felt that she was a burden and a constant reminder of his own prejudices and lack of acceptance tow disabled people. He didn't even try to find her and was happy that she was out of his life.

Sapna, however, was doing well. She found a community of artists and people who accepted her for who she was. She was finally able to express herself freely and her art flourished. She was able to travel the world and exhibit her work in galleries and museums. She was able to make a name for herself and was recognized as a talented artist.

Despite the distance and time that passed, Sapna never forgot Sunita, the woman who loved and accepted her despite her disability. She knew that Sunita had always been there for her and had always believed in her. She was grateful for the time they had together and knew that Sunita would always have a special place in her heart.

Years later, Aman and Sunita decided to attend an art exhibition at a local gallery. As they walked through the exhibits, they were fascinated by the various works of art on display. Suddenly, they came across a painting that caught their attention. It was a stunning piece, full of color and emotion.

As they read the name of the artist, they were shocked to see that it was Sapna. They couldn't believe that the little girl they had adopted, who they had once rejected and underestimated, had become a famous artist.

Aman and Sunita were filled with mixed emotions. They were proud of Sapna's accomplishments and saddened that they had not been a part of her life in those years. They realized that their rejection and lack of acceptance had caused Sapna a lot of pain and that they had missed out on the chance to see her grow and flourish as an artist.

.

They decided to reach out to Sapna and apologize for their past behavior. To their surprise, Sapna had already forgiven them and was happy to hear from them. She invited them to her studio and they were amazed at the number of paintings she had created. They were proud of her and apologized for their past behavior. They also decided to buy one of her paintings as a reminder of their past and a symbol of the love and acceptance they had for Sapna.

Sapna forgave them and they rekindled their relationship. They became a family once again and Sapna continued to create beautiful paintings that inspired and moved people all over the world. She was grateful to have a second chance to reconnect with her family, and she knew that their love and acceptance would always be a source of inspiration in her art.
