I buy some molding clay in a nearby toy shop. I get home before Siddharth has arrived. I go into my room and take a small plastic box from the kitchen. I fill the box with the clay, a little below it's brim and close the box.
I go into the bedroom and hide that box under my pillow. I sit in the living room waiting for Siddharth. After half an hour the door bell rings. I go and open the door for Siddharth who stood there smiling.
"Did I keep you waiting?" Siddharth asked me still smiling broadly. I shake my head and say "It's alright."
Siddharth asked "Did you prepare the lunch?" He keeps pacing towards the room, undoing his shirt buttons.
"No, I was busy cleaning. I am sorry."
Siddharth sits on the bed and says "It's alright. Mom said she wouldn't be joining for lunch. So I am ordering food online."
I smile and say "Fine then I don't have to cook today". I go to the almirah and take out a diamond necklace. I go to Siddharth and tell "This is an expensive necklace. So would you put it in your locker?"
Siddharth's face turned pale, but he managed to not let the smile totally wipe off his face. He asked "Why do you want to put it in the locker?"
I say "I don't feel it safe in the almirah. That's why."
He nods and takes out a a key chain with a key hanging from it. I hand him the necklace box and he opens the locker. I try to peep into the locker. It is filled with files. Siddharth places the necklace on top of the files.
He closes the locker and asks me "Happy?"
I smile and say "Yes. Thank you."
He too smiles back. He goes into the washroom leaving the keys on the bedside table. After i am sure that he is gone into the washroom and locked it, I take out the box and imprint the key on the clay. It leaves fine markings perfectly on the clay.Perfect.
I place the key back on the table and the box back under the pillow. Everything is going accordingly. After sometime Siddharth comes out after changing his dress. He says "The delivery man has arrived with the food. Let me collect it". I nod and he leaves downstairs. I take out the box and place it in my pursue.
I need to duplicate the key and access the locker. I should contact Deva immediately.
