HYDERABAD , 

Amukta is plastering the cardboard boxes that are filled with their belongings. They are shifting to a different place because her husband got transferred. With this her husband achieved the honour of 10th transfer. 2 years ago he got transferred to Hyderabad from Warangal. She felt happy as he got transferred to the city where she grew up and so that she can meet her parents more often . But within 2 years her happiness vanished as he got transferred to Nagarkarnool now. She didn't let her sadness visible to him. Amukta decided to leave their daughter with her parents till they settle down and also she don't want to disturb her by changing school in middle of the academic year. She plastered all the boxes and decided to give final glance in all rooms to know if she had forgotten something.  After making sure that everything is packed she went outside to tell dev that she is ready.

Amukta and Dev dropped their daughter vihana at amukta's parents house in the afternoon. Vihana was sad for few hours when they told her about their decision. They gave time for her to accept it. She told her father that she is agreeing with their point. He hugged his daughter and kissed her cheeks. She didn't leave him till they left amukta's parents house. But vihana decided to ignore her mother because she shouted on her for the first time. As they walked towards their car she went and hugged her mother. Amukta promised her daughter that they will definitely visit her once a week. After coming to their house amukta started packing the leftover stuff. Dev is talking with the other officers who worked under him for the past two years. They came to their house for giving a send off. They are definitely going to miss dev and amukta. In his 13 years career as a cop he directed many people into a good path. Many criminals turned into good people because of him. The crime rate decreased vastly in the city because of dev. amukta feels prideful that she got the honour of being his wife.

Amukta : Dev ! 

Dev : are you done ?

Amukta : yes ! 

Dev : I will call them.

Dev excused himself from his ex-colleagues and called the moving company.

Dev : they will be here in 10 minutes .

Amukta : ok !

Amukta walked outside and stood beside him.

ACP Kavitha : Do call us when you get time ma'am. We are going to miss you !

Amukta : definitely ! Do visit us when you get free time.

ACP Kavitha : sure ma'am.

Dev : ok then ! 

Inspector Vinod : bye sir ! Call us after reaching.

Dev : sure !

After they left Dev glanced at amukta. She is lost in her own world. 

Dev : ammu !

Amukta : hmm ?

Dev : what happened to you ? Are you alright ?

Amukta : yes ! Get inside. 

Amukta walked into the house and Dev followed her. He held her hand and pulled her towards him.

Amukta : Leave me dev !

Dev : i will leave you only if you tell me what's running your mind !

Amukta : I am just tired dev. I'll be fine by tomorrow.

Dev : do you think i am believing your lies ? I know you are worried about Vihana.  Don't worry ! She is with your parents. They will take care of her better than us.

Amukta didn't speak anything. She just hugged him tightly.

Amukta : I don't know why but i am feeling that it's going to be tough . She never stayed without me.

Dev : you can't be like this ammu. Don't you want your daughter to be strong and courageous like you ? Why you are making her fragile ? 

Amukta : You aren't understanding my emotions. 

Dev : I'm understanding it but not completely. Do you think it's easy for me to stay without my princess ? I initially thought of going alone but i decided to take you with me after thinking a lot. 

Amukta nodded.

As the truck stopped near their house they broke their hug. Amukta smiled at him.

Dev : you have a 6 years old daughter but still you'll behave like a kid.

Amutya : only with you Mr. Vidharth Dev.

Dev : I love you Mrs. Amutya Malyada .

Amutya : I love you too. First go and talk with that driver and those transporting boys.

Dev : I am going.

Dev and spoke with them. Soon they started loading the truck with the furniture and their belongings. Amutya kept her jewellery at her mother's place. She kept all important documents and files in a suit case and kept it in their car. Once everything is placed in the truck she locked the door and gave the keys to her neighbour. She came across a young couple who happens to be her distant relatives who are willing to move into their house. She told them to collect the keys from their neighbour. Their neighbour is an old woman who lives alone as her son and daughter both have settled abroad. She is very fond of vihana and she makes sure that she will spend some quality time with vihana everyday. 

Dev : Oii madam ! Shall we start ? We should reach before it gets dark. 

Amutya : ok !

Dev : you drive ! I have some urgent work.

Amutya : ok !

Dev gave the car keys to her and he sat in the passenger seat. He opened his laptop and got engrossed in studying a case report. He got a call from joint CP Vasudev.

Dev : hello sir !

Vasudev : hello dev ! Sorry for disturbing you.

Dev : no sir ! Don't be sorry ! What's the matter sir ?

Vasudev : That smuggler sent a letter to us. He sent it along with a person's right hand.

Dev : what ?

Vasudev : yes ! The forensic team and autopsy team are working on it. The most important is ...

Dev : what's that sir ?

Vasudev : he removed the skin from the palm. By that we won't get any fingerprints.

Dev : He can't do this kind of acts anymore sir ! I will show him what a police is capable of doing.

Vasudev : I trust you dev ! That's the reason why I transferred you to that district !
