Vivek's heart was filled with joy and relief as he pulled into the driveway of his home. He had Vaiga by his side, and he couldn't wait to see Gayathri.
As they entered the house, Gopi Anna greeted them with a warm smile. "Vivek, Gayathri is sleeping in her room. She's been through a lot."
Vivek's eyes widened with concern, but he rushed to her room with Vaiga by his side.
As they entered the room, Vivek's eyes fell on Gayathri's peaceful face. She was sleeping, a gentle smile on her lips.
Vivek's eyes welled up with tears as he approached her. He gently sat down beside her, taking her hand in his.
Vaiga, sensing the emotional moment, snuggled up close to Gayathri, licking her face.
Gayathri's eyes fluttered open, and she saw Vivek and Vaiga beside her. Her face lit up with a radiant smile.
"Vivek!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion.
Vivek's eyes overflowed with tears as he pulled Gayathri into a tight hug. "Gayathri, I'm so sorry. I was so worried about you."
Gayathri hugged him back, tears streaming down her face. "I'm fine, Vivek. I'm safe now."
As they hugged, Vivek's hand instinctively went to Gayathri's stomach, feeling the gentle bump of their unborn child. He kissed her and his unborn baby.
Gayathri smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "Our baby is safe, Vivek."
Vivek asked her, his voice filled with concern, "Does anything hurt? Did they ill-treat you? Did you eat anything?"
Gayathri replied positively, "No, Vivek. I'm fine. They took care of me. I ate and rested."
Vivek's heart swelled with joy, and he knew that everything was going to be alright.
Gayathri rested her head on Vivek's chest, her voice trembling. "But Vivek, I'm scared. What if they did something to me or our child? What if...?"
Vivek held her close, trying to comfort her. "Gayathri, don't worry. I'm here for you. Nothing will happen once I am alive."
Gayathri's tears fell on Vivek's chest as she whispered, "Vivek, we don't need this dangerous job. We can leave it all behind. Please, Vivek, let's don't need this police job. You were hurt once, your hand was cut... Now I was kidnapped... What's next? We don't need this police job, Vivek."
Vivek's heart went out to his scared and vulnerable wife. He knew he had to make a decision, one that would keep his family safe.
