Krishna looked at his daughter.

Nithya : nanna ! 

Krishna : I am sorry my child ! Please forgive me.

Nithya hugged her father and let out her unshed tears. Krishna hugged her back and rubbing her head with affection.

Krishna : you just concentrate on your studies Nithya ! I will teach a good lesson to that bastard. 

Nithya looked at her father worriedly.

Krishna : sir ! I am going to file a complaint against him.

Dev : great decision sir !

Krishna : thank you sir ! Thank you for making me realise my mistake.

Krishna joined his hands but dev rather embraced him.

Dev : I am sure that Nithya will score good marks sir ! 

Krishna : yes ! My daughter will make me proud.

Dev smiled. After few minutes Krishna left saying that he will come at night for her taking her home once she is done with her studying. Nithya and Amukta settled in the study room and amukta started explaining the topics briefly. Nithya being a quick learner grasped everything easily. After some time dev knocked the door lightly.

Dev : take a break ma ! Don't study continuously for hours. That professor of yours is engrossed in her phone. She forgot to give your snacks. 

Amukta : aagh. I forgot.

Nithya : I am fine sir ! What's the need of all these snacks and stuff ? 

Dev : she made these for you ma. She will feel bad if you won't have them.

Amukta smiled at her.

Nithya : that's so sweet of you ma'am ! You made these for me.

Dev : she is an amazing chef. The food cooked by her is something that is amazing. If she is not a forensic doctor she would have started a restaurant.

Nithya : is that so ?

Amukta : yes ! I had those plans two years ago. But I kind of felt like it is not going to work.

Nithya had her snacks to the fullest.

Nithya : I never ate such delicious waffles in my whole life. I loved them ma'am.

Amukta : thank you.

Dev : break time over. Get back to studying.

Nithya nodded and started studying again. 

Nithya : ma'am ! 

Amukta : yes !

Nithya : sir is very friendly and also strict. He is giving me big brother vibes. I always wanted to have a elder sibling who supports me. I found an elder brother in him.

Amukta : he will be more than happy to have a younger sister like you. Ok ! Start studying.

Nithya got back to her studying and amukta thought  her how to frame questions and how to understand it. Soon it became 8:30 pm.

Amukta : nithya ! Let's have our dinner. After dinner i will conduct a small test. Then you can go home. Don't think about declining. It is cooked by your newly found brother.

Nithya chuckled. She packed her bag and came into the livingroom. She observed the photos that are hanging on the walls. There is a picture of amukta and dev with vihana which is placed on the side table. She also saw dev and amukta's wedding photo. There is an another photo of amukta's baby shower. She stopped at the photo of a couple with a garland hanging on it. She kept on looking at them.

Dev : What are you doing ?

Nithya turned around and saw dev.

Nithya : sir ! Who are they ?

Dev : my parents.

Nithya : oh. 

Dev : come let's have our dinner.

Nithya : ok sir ! 

Dev walked into the dining room and sat down on a chair. Nithya also came there. Amukta came with her phone in her hands. She is talking to vihana.

Amukta : talk to your father baby ! 

Amukta gave the phone to dev.

Dev : hello viha ! 

Vihana : hello nanna ! What are you doing ?

Dev : we are having our dinner. I am going to introduce someone to you. 

Vihana : who's that ? 

Dev : she is your mom's student. Say 'hi' to nithya akka.

Dev gave the phone to nithya. 

Nithya : hi ! 

Vihana : hi nithya akka ! My name is vihana. How are you doing ? 

Nithya : I am doing good. How are you ?

Vihana : good ! But i am struck with my maths homework. 

Nithya : don't you like math ? 

Vihana : I don't like it but i can solve everything. I kind of don't have interest in maths. 

Amukta : my traits.

Nithya chuckled.

Vihana : ok bye akka ! You shouldn't talk while eating. Do talk with me when you meet my parents again !

Nithya : sure vihana . Bye ! 

Nithya gave the mobile to amukta. 

Nithya : she is very adorable ma'am.

Amukta : thank you nithya. She is my daughter after all.

Dev : mine too. 

Amukta : man ! Don't be jealous. Even strangers can identify that she is your daughter . She resembles you to such a great extent. But i have tell that she is my  daughter because she won't resemble me much.

Nithya admired the couple who are sitting in front of her. She got a strong belief in true love after seeing them. After having the dinner amukta gave a  question paper to Nithya and engrossed herself in doing the laundry. Dev washed the utensils and went to bed. Amukta came back and saw nithya who is done with her exam. She corrected and gave the paper to Nithya. By that time krishna came there. Nithya bid bye to her walked towards the gate but she came back again amd hugged amukta tightly.

Nithya : thank you ma'am ! 

Amukta : it's ok dear. Always remember one thing. Your confidence and self esteem is your biggest strength.

Nithya nodded. Krishna thanked amukta again and they both left. Amukta closed the door and turned the lights off. She drifted into deep slumber as soon as she laid  down on the bed.

........

NEXT DAY ,

Amukta and dev are ready for their day. They went to vishwambara sharma's place early in the morning. Dev told everything to amukta on phone immediately after coming out of vishwambara sharma's house. Amukta is willing to support him as always.

Dev knocked the door and poornima opened it.

Poornima : your wife is very beautiful dev ! 

Dev : yes ! 

Dev's answer is kind of spontaneous which made poornima to chuckle.

How's the chapter ? 

The reason for adding nithya's part is for making a pavement for the sequel of the story. I will be writing the sequel after few months. Mostly i will end this book on Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for all the love that i have received.
