The old man looked at dev and gave a peaceful smile.

Dev : namasthey ! 

Old man : namasthey son ! My name is vishwambara sharma. 

Dev : my name is Vidarth Dev.

 Vishwambara sharma  : what made you to meet me son ?

Dev : actually I want to know about the curse sir ! I want to get them relieved from it.

Vishwambara sharma nodded.

Vishwambara sharma : it needs lot of courage. Do you have that ?

Dev : yes sir ! 

Vishwambara Sharma : your heir should be part of this atonement. Are you ready for it ?

Dev : yes ! I hope she won't get harmed ! 

Vishwambara Sharma : she won't get harmed. 

Dev nodded.

Vishwambara Sharma : come to my place tomorrow morning at sharp 5:00 am along with your better half. 

Dev : ok sir 

Vishwambara Sharma : you may take a leave now. You have lot of work i guess.

Dev touched vishwambara's feet and took his blessings .

Vishwambara : have a long life.

Dev thanked him and also the priest. He spoke with poornima for few minutes went back to his house. He changed into his uniform and went to the police station.

Vinod : hey ! We have the court hearing tomorrow.

Dev : ok ! 

Vinod : can i ask you something ?

Dev : huh ? 

Vinod : who helped you in getting evidences against ramaswamy ?

Dev : you will know that tomorrow ! Where is kalavathi ? 

Vinod : she is in the woman's jail.

Dev : what about her mother ? Isn't she worried about her ? 

Vinod : she is on a trip to kashi. She don't know about this i guess.

Dev : ok ! It would have been nice if she went now. She lost the opportunity to mix her beloved step-sons ashes in the holy water.

Vinod : is this a joke ?

Dev engrossed himself in reading the report file of kalavathi's arrest and spoke to vinod simultaneously.

Dev : not really ! He have done lot of sins. At least his death would have been a little respectful.

Vinod : that's true ! How's amukta doing ? 

Dev : she is fine. She went to the hospital. She didn't take leave.

Vinod :she is unbelievable . She works like a robot.

Dev : hmm. 

Vinod : Shalini ( vinod's wife )  is a huge fan of amukta for this reason. 

Dev : how is she doing ? What about the twins ?

Vinod : they are all good.

Dev : hmm. 

Vinod : did you check it ?

Dev : yes ! Go and submit it.

Vinod : ok !

Amukta was busy with 2 back to back classes. She is loving her new life of being a professor. She understood how hard it is to be a professor. The respect that she had on her professors increased by multiple folds. She is also incharge for conducting medical camps in remote areas. She is planning to conduct a health camp on the coming Sunday. She spoke about it with her colleagues. They are all interested in it.

As the clock stroke 1:00 pm. Amukta went to the dining hall and unpacked her lunchbox. She started digging into her food. She took out her mobile and dropped a message to dev. She typed a 👋🏻 symbol. His last seen in few minutes ago. 

Viraj : hi ! 

Viraj came and sat beside her. 

Amukta : hello ! 

Viraj : what are you doing ? 

Amukta : I am doing what everyone will do in a mess hall. I am having my lunch.

Viraj : hmm.

Amukta is not liking his presence. She kind of feels like he is flirting with her.

Viraj : where do you live ? 

Amukta : what ? 

Viraj : where do you live ? 

Amukta : police quarters . 

Viraj : which police quarters ? Why do you leave in police quarters ?

Amukta : I live in DCP Vidarth Dev's quarters. Because I am his wife.

Viraj : oh sorry ! I forgot about that. I met him on that day right ! 

Amukta : yes ! 

Viraj : he seems to be a very strict man. Isn't he ?

Amukta : how you have concluded that ? Do you know him personally ?

Viraj : no ! I felt like that because he encountered jara immediately after rejoining right ? That is the reason for making that statement.

Amukta : he did his job. He is getting paid for that . 

Viraj : hmm. 

Amukta finished her lunch and packed the empty boxes. She drank some water and got up from the chair.

Amukta : bye ! I have some work.

Viraj : ok ! Bye !

Amukta walked towards her cabin and saw a familiar girl standing outside her cabin. She is her student nithya. She bent her head low and constantly tapping her right foot on the floor. She is feeling nervous and tense.

Amukta : Nithya ! What happened ma ? What are you doing here ?

Nithya : ma'am ! I have to tell you something.

Amukta : come inside.

Amukta went into her cabin and nithya followed her.

Amukta : now tell me ! 

Nithya : ma'am ! A guy from final year is misbehaving with me ! I am unable to bear him anymore. He is sending inappropriate messages to me and passing comments whenever we come across eachother.

Amukta : why he is doing that ?

Nithya : he proposed me ma'am. I rejected him. He is unable to take that. He is even threatening me that he will die and blame for his death. 

Amukta : from how long this is happening ?

Nithya : one year.

Amukta : seriously nithya ! Why are you silent for this long ? Who is that boy ?

Nithya : he is mrs.sharada's son. His name is prathik. When I complained about it she slapped me.

Amukta : what the heck ? Did you tell your parents ?

Nithya : no ma'am. My parents won't understand it. Prathik is also threatening me that he will spread a rumour that i cheated him. 

Amukta : what he is planning to do by becoming a doctor ? I will look into it. You don't worry much.

Nithya : ok ma'am.

Amukta : stop crying nithya ! You aren't supposed to cry because of a moron like him. Make him cry for what he is doing. Concentrate on tomorrow's test. Is that the reason why you have skipped college for a week.

Nithya nodded.

Amukta : don't worry ! You can come to my place in the evening. I will help you to cover that part.

Nithya : thank you ma'am.

Amukta : alright ! Go to class. I have some work at lab.

Nithya nodded and went to her classroom. Amukta went to the lab for solving the pending cases which are rotting in the shelves from ages.
