6 MONTHS LATER , 

From past few months the crime rate decreased drastically . Every single criminal  got frightened because of jarasandha's encounter. The respect other officers  have  for dev increased by multiple times. Dev concentrated on educating youth about behaviour and situation handling. He also motivated everyone to enrol in self defence classes. 

Nithya slapped prathik in-front of everyone in the classroom. She boldly told everyone about his behaviour towards her. Many other girls voiced that they faced the same because of him. He tried to defend himself but his own mother slapped him hardly when she saw the proofs against her son. Amukta felt proud of nithya . He was rusticated from the college for extremely unacceptable behaviour. Nithya hugged amukta and thanked her. After prathik left the college it was very peaceful for her. She concentrated well on her studies. Months passed and she scored very good marks in semester exams. Amukta gave her very first litmann as a gift to her. She accepted happily and thanked her. Amukta enrolled Vihana in the same school in which riya is studying. Dev is more than happy because his daughter is back to him again. He didn't feel like letting sagar and Saritha stay alone in Hyderabad. He requested them to stay with him and amukta. But they declined politely. 

.........

Dev went to vihana's school and picked her up after his duty is over. By the time they came home  they saw saritha in the garden. Vihana ran towards her grandmother and hugged her. Saritha and Sagar came for visiting them as they didn't see them for a month. They all decided to go on a small trip.

They planned to visit srisailam ( a famous lord shiva temple ). Which is around 130 kms away from their place. Amukta and Saritha are preparing some snacks for their journey. Dev and vihana went out for buying something.

Next day they started their journey to the temple. The route by which they are travelling is extremely beautiful. It have trees on both sides and they are supposed to cross few mountains. Vihana enjoyed the ride thoroughly. They stopped near the dam for a while and explored it. After  that they stopped near the main temple. They prayed to the god. After that they visited the other sub temples .

Vihana : nanna ! What's that ? 

Dev : it is called as sky tram.

Vihana : I want to travel in it.

Dev : sure kanna ( dear).

Amukta : No ! It's scary.

Vihana : But we aren't scared. If you are scared you stay back amma. 

Dev : don't behave like a kid ammu. The kid is eager to experience it. 

Amukta : no dev ! 

Dev : fine ! It's ok. Stay here. I will take her. Athamma ! Mama ! What about you two ?

Saritha : I am coming.

Sagar : I am scared of it. I am not coming.

Saritha : wonderful ! A daring father and daughter duo are willing to travel in a sky tram whereas another duo are scared as hell. 

Sagar and Amukta rolled their eyes.  After they have returned from the sky tram trip they went to tribal museum and they went home in the late night. 

Saritha : our trip went very well !

Amukta : yes amma ! 

Dev : hmm. 

They all went inside and spoke about their trip for a while. Vihana and Saritha departed to their rooms as they are feeling sleepy. 

Sagar : I always felt that dev came here because of god's will.

Dev looked at sagar with questioning face.

Amukta : what ?

Sagar : yes ! He was transferred to a place which is indeed his ancestral place. His uncle came searching for him. Later he met those tribes. He completed something his father was unable to do back then. Isn't it ?

Amukta : you are right nanna ! 

Sagar : I hope everything will be better in coming years too. Good night ! 

Sagar went into his room. Saritha is sleeping in the middle of the bed occupying it completely. He pushed her slept on his side but earned a smack from her. 

........

Amukta : Dev ! 

Dev : hmm. Tell !

Amukta : come with me ! 

Dev : where ? 

Amukta didn't say anything but dragged him to the terrace. 

Dev : what are you doing ammu ?

Amukta : stay here ! I'll be back soon.

Dev : ok ! 

Amukta went downstairs. Dev looked at her and smiled. Amukta came back with a box wrapped with a cover.

Dev : what's this ? 

Amukta : open it.

Dev opened the box and saw a report , newborn clothing set and a frame with ' going to become father again ' written on it.  Dev looked at amukta who is glowing with happiness. He kept the box on the coffee table and hugged her. She hugged him back.

Amukta : Our viha is going to get a sibling soon. We are going to become partners again.

Dev : thank you ammu. 

Amukta looked at him. He kissed her passionately and joined his forehead with hers. 

Dev : I love you ammu. I won't call myself as the best husband in the world but I am promising you that i will always be with you. I'll do whatever I can do for you. You didn't just marry me but you gave a life to me. You brought joy  into my lonely life. You gave me a reason to live and think about home. You showed me the love that i missed in my life. 

Amukta : But i will definitely call you as the best husband. It is not like you will shake your head for everything that i tell. But you know how to deal a situation perfectly. You can understand what i am thinking by just looking at me. I love the way you overcome your flaws. I love you Dev. 

Dev kissed amukta's forehead and bent down on his knees and kissed her tummy.

Dev : hey baby ! How are you doing ? Nanna is waiting for you.

Dev's mobile rang and disturbed the moment. Dev got irritated but he answered the call.

Dev : hello ! 

Dev's expression changed. The smile on his face turned into a serious expression. He looked at amukta who is looking at him curiously. 

Dev : I will show them what a police can do ! 

Saying that he cut the call.

THE NOT AN END
