Alex, Aninda and Saras are home and Carissa and Devian are in the boutique.
"Who is this from, baby?" devian asked as his eyes fell on a flower bucket on the table.
"Come." replied Carissa indifferently.
Because of curiosity Devian took the greeting card in the flower bucket.
"Congratulations.. I'm proud of you."
Devian's eyes rounded when he saw the bucket's sender initials.
"Damn it." Devian's curse.
"What's up, honey?" ask Carissa in shock.
"There's nothing, dear." replied Devian.
"Why do you look upset?" carissa asked, noticing the change in her husband's expression.
With only Devian's breath heard, Carissa decided to approach her husband.
Carissa looked at the greeting card that had been lying on the floor, she picked it up. Carissa scrunched her forehead when she found the letter A in the name of the sender of the flower bucket. Carissa thought for a moment and then understood one thing.
"You've guessed who the sender of this flower is?" ask Carissa to fish Devian.
"Surely the Aryan, who else if not him." replied Devian grumbling.
"You sure?" ask Carissa not to believe it.
"Of course." replied Devian by turning his face away.
Carissa chuckled to see her husband starting to get jealous.
"I didn't invite him. Where does she know anyway?" ask Carissa astonished.
"For a man to go after a woman he likes will do everything he can to know anything about her" Devian explained.
"really? It seems like you never did that?" carissa asked considering her relationship with Devian before marriage.
"Of course I did. It's just that I didn't tell you." Devian replied.
"Really?" ask Carissa curiously.
"Yes. Let's go home." take Devian to try to switch the conversation.
Devian doesn't want his wife to learn of his ridiculous behavior when he used to pursue Carissa's love.
Carissa laughed a little because of her husband's behavior. Carissa complied with her husband's invitation without asking further.
From across the street, Arya was watching the two men from the car. Knowing Devian and Carissa are out of the boutique, Arya just smiles then rushes forward to her car.
