Unexpected

chap 39

   Dev came to Vishak's home as Swathi asked him to come there.
Dev frowned as he saw Ashwin there. He glared at Kavya who was beside him.

" Stop glaring at my wife Dev " Ashwin said looking at him. Dev scoffed and did not mind his words.

" why did you ask me to come here urgently " Dev asked Swathi.

" Akka is missing for few days " she said with tears in her eyes.

" ooo " he said thinking.

" quit acting Dev . I'm sure you know where she is " Ashwin said angrily

Soon Vishak came from upstairs with his car keys and left home hurriedly without saying anything.

" Vishak " Janaki tried to stop him but he did not stop.

" Right now we need to search for  Akka. I can't bear anyone's childishness. Maama can take care of himself and right now I need my akka" Swathi declared determined.

" Dev please tell me where is my akka " Swathi pleaded him but he stayed quiet.

" what if Nini is in danger... do you.. " Ashwin started to say but Dev cut him off.

" she will be safe as long as she is away from you. Stay away from her life " Dev yelled at Ashwin and stormed out.

" Dev... " Swathi tried to stop him but he did not pay heed.

" Now what will we do " Swathi said falling on the ground.

" Don't worry Swathi your sister is safe " Ashwin said all of sudden.

" how do you know sir " she asked looking at him.

" didn't you notice his words... he said she is safe "

" but... but... "

" just try to get information out of him Swathi.... It won't be easy but still try " he said running his hands through his face.

" won't he listen to you sir " swathi asked him.

" nope... he won't.  He has a soft spot for you so giving a try won't be much of worry " Ashwin told her making her think

" why did Nithya never told me about your relationship " Hari asked Ashwin.

" I asked her to keep it as a secret until I can get a job to make her future stable " Ashwin said looking away.

" Then why did she never said anything about it later " he asked again.

" we broke up " he said quietly.  Before Hari could question anything else little Nithya came running inside.

" Appa " she came and hugged him.

" There is a beautiful parrot in the backyard and it repeats everything that I'm saying " she said enthusiastically.

" So finally did you enjoy your day " he asked her.

" Ofcourse Appa and I need to meet Nini aunty soon. She promised me to take me to meet my special person " little Nithya said to her father.

" Who is the special person " Ashwin asked her. She closed her mouth with her hands as if she had disclosed a top secret.

" I can't believe it. You both are planning something behind my back " Ashwin exclaimed.

" Do you know where is your Nini aunty " Swathi asked her sqatting down.

" yeah... but I promised I won't reveal it anyone " she mumbled quietly.

" do you know I'm your Nini aunty's sister you can share with me " she asked quietly. But the little girl ran to her mother and hugged her tightly.

" my daughter is of no use Swathi.  She is just like your sister in keeping secrets. So the only option we have is Dev...."
