"Kya?" Said Dev smiling widely.She extend her hand toward him.He looks at the box in her hand and then at her.She open the box and take out a beautiful locket containing D & A attached with a heart.

"Wow." He takes locket in his hand admiring their initial .

"Tum isse apne saath hi rakhoge na"She said with fake smile but her heart is wrenching in the guilt as she recall putting tracker in the locket when he was in the bathroom .

"Tumhara naam hai isme to isse khud se alag karne ka sawal hi nhi uthta ."He said wearing the locket with a smile but Ananya looks down to avoid tears to come in her eyes .She is tricking her husband.Once he is proven innocent,She will tell him everything about locket and appologise .

"Jab tak meri dhadkan chalegi tab tak ye locket mere dil ke kareeb hi rahega."He said pointing at the locket on his chest.

"Kaisi baate kar ho Dabbu"She said angrily.

"Ok sorry..Waise Honeymoon se return karte waqt gift dene ka koi prampra hai kya" He said smiling nervously as he have not bought anything for her."Jaise Wedding Night ke time di jati hai"

"Nhi ,aaisa koi ritual nhi hai aur by the way tumne wedding night ko bhi kaha koi gift diya tha."She said.

"To wedding night bhi kaha hui hai"He blurt out abruptly. He looks at her who is looking at him with wide eyes but hurriedly divert her eyes as soon as he looks at her , looking away turning red.

"Flight ka time ho gya hai chale"She said after sometime and he nodded with loopside smile.

After a tiring journey , they reach Mumbai . A official driver is waiting for them at the airport with their car.

"Jai hind Mam" Said the Driver saluting her.

"Jai hind" said Ananya curtly."Nagercoil se jo saman aane wala tha uska status kya hai? "

"matlab 15 minutes aur ."She said looking at her watch with worried expresson."tab tak to hum ghar bhi nhi pahuche honge "She said to herself tapping at her phone .After thinking for some time she again speaks "Dab..."She paused looking at the driver from corner of her eyes."Dev ,Mai tumhare phone se ek message kar sakti hu kya ?Urgent hai aur mera phone bhi off ho gya hai "

"Tumhe explaination dene ki jarurat nhi hai." He said taking his phone out from his pocket ."Hum dono me Mera ya tumhara nhi , humara hai.He forwarded the phone toward her.She takes the phone forcing a smile on her face and sit inside the car .He too join her and car starts moving.

Ananya type something in his phone and send it.
"Ho gya"She said giving his phone back to him .Her eyes is observing him carefully.He take the phone and keep it in his pocket. Neither he attempted to know what she is typing nor tried to see the message.

She takes a deep breath, smiles with satisfaction.She wrap her arms around his arms,keep her head on his shoulder and closes her eyes.

"Anu, tumhara Driver yahi hai"He whispers .
