WAR IN THE CURSED LAND✔️

15

Dev noticed the change in Bhairava Varma's body language. He glanced at vishwa who is looking at bhairava varma with hopeful eyes by standing behind the bars.

Bhairava Varma : let's talk after elections.

Dev : sure sir ! 

Bhairava Varma came outside only to be mobbed by the media. He fisted his hands to control his anger. He turned back to see dev standing outside the station and smiling at him . He walked towards Bhairava Varma. The media turned their cameras towards dev. 

Dev : our MP sir proved that he is the best once again. He came here to clear that he won't be involving in this case. He said every criminal must be punished. Even if he is a MP or his relative .

Dev stressed the last line.

Reporter 1 : is that true sir ?

Bhairava Varma : yes ! 

Dev : he told that he will also help us to find all of his nephew's links with other criminals.

Reporter 2 : is that true sir ? Are you willing to help the police ?

Bhairava Varma : yes ! 

Dev walked away towards the parking area and smirked by looking at Bhairava varma . The reporters are asking questions to him continuously. Dev went home as his work for the day is done. 

.........

Amukta was doing her evening puja and that is when dev came home. He gave a smile to her and went for having a shower. After his shower he went into the living room and picked his daughter who is sitting on the mat and playing with her toys. He kissed her cheeks and cuddled her. She kissed his forehead. 

Dev : did my li'll princess miss me ? 

Vihana : ya.... Uu... na..nn..a

Dev  chuckled by listening to the sounds made by his daughter. He saw amukta who is busy with peeling the vegetables. She was sitting on the couch and peeling them by watching TV. 

Dev : why my queen is not even sparing a glance at me ? 

Amukta glared at him.

Dev : I am wishing for a glance but i got a glare ! See how vulnerable your father's condition is viha ! Will you do the same after growing up ?

Vihana : No..oo

Viha replied as if she understood what her father is asking her. Both dev and amukta laughed. Dev knew the reason for her silence. It's her birthday and he didn't wish her at all. She thought he might have forgot but he heard her  talking to her mother in the morning and her mother wishing her. But dev have his own plans for his girl's birthday. Dev played with his daughter for a while and amukta was busy with cooking the dinner. After that he fed the baby porridge to viha and made her to sleep. He sat infront of the TV and started scrolling the news channels. At 7:50 someone rang the doorbell. 

Dev : ammu ! Open the door !

Amukta ( murmurs ) : why he is not opening the damn door ? 

Amukta opened the door and saw a delivery boy. 

Delivery boy : mrs.amukta malyada ? 

Amukta : yes ! 

Delivery boy : this is for you ma'am ! 

Amukta signed on the paper and took it inside. Before she could take that box into the living room she heard the door bell ringing again. She kept the box that she is holding in front-room itself and opened the door. There stood an another delivery boy with one more box.

Delivery boy : mrs.amukta malyada ?

Amukta : yes !

Delivery boy : this is for you ma'am !

Amukta waited for few minutes as she expected an another person would knock the door again. But she heard a knock on the door that separates front room and living room. She turned back and saw dev leaning against the door holding a bunch of  peach and white roses. He didn't say anything but stared at her intensely with pure love. When the clock struck 8 : 32 pm he smiled .

Dev : mrs. amukta malyada ! Happy 30th birthday !

Amukta smiled by looking at him.

Dev : I thought of wishing you at the exact time when you are born. 

Amukta walked towards him and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back as if they haven't seen each other for ages.

Dev : I love you ! 

Amukta : love you too !

They parted away and amukta took the roses. 

Amukta : thanks for the roses. They are beautiful. Come let's have the dinner.

Dev : wait ! Open your gifts.

 Amukta : i'll open later ! 

Dev : no ! Open them now.

Amukta : fine ! I will.

Amukta opened the first box and saw a chocolate cake which is looking delicious. She opened the other box and saw a beautiful chiffon lilac saree and a pearl jewellery set.

Dev : wear it please ! 

Dev looked at her with puppy eyes. 

Amukta : ok ! 

Amukta told with a smile and went to change. After few minutes she came back wearing the saree. She looked like an absolute angel. she waved her hand in front of him. He smiled and kissed her.

Amukta : our li'll one is going to miss the cake cutting ?

Dev : you aren't supposed to feed cake to her ! I wonder who is doctor and who is cop among both of us !

Amukta chuckled. Amukta and dev conversed about lot of things and soon they drifted into sleep in each other's arms. Dev didn't realise that a storm is going to occur. 

........

Few masked people jumped the wall and surrounded the house. They have knives and guns beneath their jackets. They are waiting for their boss's signal to proceed. At 2:05 am they got a message from their boss to proceed. They cut the electricity by removing the fuse from the socket. A man detached the backyard door carefully and signalled his men to come inside. They went into the bedroom and saw two sleeping figures on the bed. They pierced the knives into their bodies but they didn't hear any sounds or screams. Much to their dismay no blood is oozing out. A man pulled the blanket and saw cushions and pillows. They heard a whistle sound and they turned back and saw dev who is holding a torch and rifle. 

Dev : never forget that i am dev ! I will always be one step ahead. Is your boss that dumb to think that i will sleep happily thinking that he won't come up with something of this sort ?

How's the chapter ?
