They sat in the back balcony overlooking the barn and the picturesque property surrounding their home.
Viraj was lost in thought as he took a swig of his cigarette. He planned to quit eventually but tonight he felt he needed a drag.
He got up to look out towards the moonlight.
They had been married just a few days.
Kavya came up behind him and back hugged him.
"Kya sochre ho? Kuch toh hai tumare mann mein," she said softly.
He snubbed his cigarette and turned to face her. He held her close to him.
He caressed her hair.
"How do you always know? Do you always just figure out what is going on with everyone you meet?"
" Sometimes, depends on how important the client is," she replied.
" You wanted to do your PHD right? That plan got on hold because of me right?"
" Yes but I am happy being with you and our family here in Delhi. London would have been a mistake. I can always apply for PHD around here," she replied.
"What are your throught about Mumbai, for maybe six months. You can see your clients from Delhi via telemedicine? That was common during the heat of Covid-19," he quipped.
" That is true. But why Mumbai , yahaan kyun nahin?"
" I have to go to Mumbai ," he stated.
" Oh I think Ma mentioned you had talked about this before I returned here. She doesn't want to lose you. Your uncle isn't an easy man to get to," Kavya quipped.
" I know. But he got away with hurting my parents. He blackmailed them. But one thing I plan on doing before we leave next week, if you agree to come along," he said.
" Of course Viraj, I meant what I said before. I am with you. What is the thing you wanted to do first?"
"DNA test," he declared.
" But Ma already told you.."
" But if she has it wrong then my mamaji has no right to threaten us anymore. He wanted to reveal the truth of my parentage to the world. My mother fought to keep the Trehan name free from black stains."
" God forbid he was right then what?"
" I still will find a way to destroy him. We cannot be at peace until or unless we destroy him first."
"Main hamesha tumare saath doongi."
Viraj hugged her.
The next day, Viraj had his DNA swab done. He didn't inform anyone else about it.
He went out for some work. He returned home for a late lunch.
"Mariam did everyone eat already?"
"Yes sir but Kavya madam went to her room earlier. She seemed a bit pale. I was going to call the family doctor to come check on her, but she just asked for some green tea and something for a headache."
"I will check on her. Did she take something for the headache already?"
" I gave it to an hour ago. I asked her if she wanted something to eat. She said her stomach was paining her. I don't think she ate anything out of the usual," she quipped.
" You know your Kavya madam. She isn't shy about caring for others, but when it comes to her health, she is bit careless. Main dekta hoon. Do we have any chocolates ? I remember Ananya sometimes asks for them," he said.
