Is Preetam, a terrorist?

Roopa PoV:

I remembered his anger the last time. I forgot what to speak.

"Didn't I ask you something, Roopa?" Preetam said, raising his voice at me. I stammered with his angry tone.

"I.. I... Am... Sorry... I... Thought.... To... Tell. You.. But…" I said.

"Roopa, are you crying?" Preetam and switched on the light. Only then, I realised that I was crying.

"Baby, why are you crying?" Preetam asked again.

Preetam PoV:

I asked about Mitra and Roopa started crying. I didn't say anything. I thought she was afraid of me being angry. I pulled her into my arms. I kissed her forehead and wiped her tears with my thumb.

"Sweetheart, I asked casually. Why are you crying?" I said.

"I know you are angry with me for acting as Mitra's girlfriend. I know no husband will bear if wife acts as a lover of someone," Roopa said.

I was not angry with her. Is she suggesting me to be mad at her? I smiled at her words.

"My sweet wife, I am not angry with you," I said.

"What?" Roopa was surprised.

"Yes, I can understand that it's your mission. I know my wife loves me and never crosses her limits. When her heart is filled with love for me, then why should I feel bad and angry with you?" I said kissing her a few times on the cheeks.

I took a decision not to doubt Roopa's love for me ever in life. I understood Roopa and her love for me. I didn't want to hurt her. I had no problem with any mission, she handles until she is safe. However, I had decided to save my darling from any danger at any time.

"Thank you, Preetam!" Roopa said, and I kissed her.

"But Roopa, please take care," I advised.

"Sure!" Roopa said.

"Preetam, by the way, how do you come to know the details of this mission?" Roopa started her investigation.

"I have my own sources," I said proudly.

"It's not fun, Preetam. See we don't share information with family and sometimes with the team, if required. You are an outsider, and you came to know about the mission. Who leaked this secret from my team? It's a matter of national security, and I don't take it easy," Roopa asked as if she was interrogating me.

"Don't get tense, Roopa. I didn't use any wrong way to find it out," I said.

"Then how do you come to know it?"

"Find it if you can, my dear IPS wife," I said kissing her cheek.

Roopa fumed at me for my unnecessary over action.

"Chill, baby! I came to the airport today to receive a business partner. There I saw Mitra holding you and taking you to his home. I tried to stop, but I saw a card in your hand, mentioning Mitra and Shivani names. So I guessed it's a mission," I said, trying to make Roopa trust my words.

"Really? Ok, tell me how do you know Mitra and Shivani?"

"I saw Mitra on the TV many times as a business magnate. I don't know Shivani," I replied.

Roopa PoV:

I felt something fishy. I understood Preetam lied to me.

My mind filled with doubts: Who told Preetam about our mission? How did he know Mitra and Shivani?

I acted as if I believed his words and changed the topic. I decided to find out who the traitor is in my team who leaked the information out. I would take action against that person for leaking the confidential information.

"Preetam, what are the plans for mom's birthday?" I asked.

"I planned a few surprises for mom," Preetam said and discussed with me.

Slowly I drifted into the land of peace. In the morning, I woke up earlier than every day and made arrangements to surprise mom. I woke up Preetam. He was a bit irritated for disturbing his sleep as he loves sleeping a lot. We both got ready and knocked on mom's room door. Mom got ready by that time and came out.

We blasted the birthday popper and colour papers fell on mom, which made her happy. Preetam gifted a mobile to mom. Dad gifted a necklace. I didn't buy anything as I didn't know about mom's birthday. Preetam gave a gold chain to me to gift mom without their notice. Preetam never lets me down. He saves me every time.

"Happy Birthday, mom," I said and presented a chain to her.

Mom smiled, looking at the chain. Mom liked it. Mom and dad went to the temple.

I decided to stay at home on that day. I called Mitra from Shivani's number as we collected her mobile when we took her into our custody.

"Hey Shivani, just now I am getting ready to pick you from the hostel," Mitra said.

"Mitra, please don't mind. I can't meet you today. I am attending my friend's wedding. I forgot to inform you yesterday," I said.

"That's okay, Shivani! Take care," Mitra said.

I disconnected the call and prepared mom's favourite breakfast. I came into the room, giving instructions to the maids to decorate the house. Preetam was on a call. I was shocked at his words.

"Yes, Mitra! Let's implement our plan today. Roopa will be busy with mom's birthday for the whole day. We may not get the chance again," Preetam said.

My mind was blocked listening to the conversation. How could Preetam cheat me?

"Mitra, Roopa doesn't know I am involved in this. We need to complete our operation as soon as possible. The blast must be done today itself. Roopa believed that you are in her trap. But she doesn't know that you know about Roopa already. I will try to free Shivani soon," Preetam said.

My head spun filled with unanswered questions. Does Preetam involve in this operation? Are they planning bomb blast? Is Preetam a terrorist like Mitra?

I couldn't believe what I had heard just now. Tears were flowing from my eyes continuously. I went off from there and called my team and passed the information.

Even if it's my husband, I am not going to leave him. My nation is more important to me than anyone. I thought and planned the action that would be taken against them.

I didn't want to reveal that I knew the truth. I stayed calm and behaved normally.

"How are the arrangements going on my darling?" Preetam said coming into the living room.

"Everything is going well, Preetam" I answered him.

"Roopa, are you going to stay for the evening party?"

"Yes, Preetam! Today I will be with our family for the whole day."

"Aww, so sweet of my wife," Preetam said and kissed my cheek hugging me from behind.

How could you act this much, Preetam? I wouldn't leave you easily.
