The truth of another identity card in Navya's bag was revealed when Navya kept avoiding friends' time after college hour. It had been many days since Navya told that her sister was at home. Anant thought her sister must have gone till then. So, Navya's behaviour raised his concern again, reminding him of that he had seen another identity card in her bag except the college identity card.

Once he followed her after college, and got to know that she had joined city library as the librarian. The another identity card was her professional identity card. Her job concerned him more.

He talked to Ritz and Appy about that as he didn't want to take any wrong step which might hurt or offend her. When he heard that Navya's family was doing fine and they had no financial issue he felt a bit relieved.

"If she has no such necessary then why she is doing the job?" He was kinda surprised while trying to guess the reason.

"The tension for Renuka di hasn't lessened in her home. Even, she's tensed too, assuming herself burdening her family as her father is sole breadwinner of the family," Ritz's eyes reflected a short glimpse of worries in Navya's life.

"To make her worry decrease, Navya joined the job. In this way, Renuka di will be able to focus in tackling the current issue of her life which is facing her husband for divorce," Appy's eyes too had the same expression like Ritz.

"I feel sorry for not being with her when she needed me. Moreover, I added worries to her woes from my side," Anant scolded himself for his unintentional action.

"The introvert and shy Navya you are talking about has been changed. Her family issue had made her strong. We never had seen her crying in these days for once," Appy placed a hand on Anant's shoulder, noticing him down with the pain of failure.

"She was the one who supported her sister's decision of divorce at first when she came to know about her sister being cheated. She too kept consoling her family each time in this hard time. Cheering up her sister, encouraging her parents to follow the flow of life, providing emotional support to everyone, all these were done by her alone," each details about Navya from Ritz succeeded in surprising Anant again.

"You don't need to be feel sad. Instead of being sad you can do something special to make her smile," joyful voice of Appy earned a jovial look on Anant's face.

"Her birthday is around the corner. You have a good chance," Ritz revealed the next, nestling many hopes in Anant's heart.

Anant felt proud of his love. He felt proud of his heart for choosing her. He felt proud of his luck for making him meet her.

He was determined to get her smile back. Since her birthday had a few days to come he thought to make a small attempt before it. He used to keep flowers and a small chit containing few appreciating words on desk of Navya's workplace.

His words were reciprocated by her smile, making his effort meet its worth. He was getting happier imagining the day when he would pour all the appreciation for her gathered in his heart.
