Hope Atty does something about it soon.

Jaidrith is one happy go lucky kid now. He has more interested in the toys and books at Atty. He is oblivious to the flow of electricity between his dad and mom. 🤣Atty’s question might trigger his curiosity. Let’s see

Out..☺️

He didn’t have to quiz him over text, he was actually at his school at 1 PM because Jaidrith had told off some kid

The issue was the kid had mocked him for calling Aatreya Atty and not Dad

So the kid had mocked him that he was not even his biological father just someone “mother as hooking up with”

Mrunalini was very strict and didn’t not let him use or abuse certain words

So Jaidrith didn’t actually catch the meaning until the boy had made a kissing gesture

Thankfully he hadn’t yelled or thrown a punch just told him his Dad looks like a monkey so he was jealous of Atty (Yeah! Lame! But that was the best Dhru could do)

Mr Sen and Mrunalini were reviewing a guest claim issue with Legal she couldn’t answer her phone

Having another parent is a blessing and Mrunalini realized when she returned the call later and then showed up after ditching work at 2 PM

Atty was ready to bring him home

“Didn’t u see my text?” he smiled handing her Dhru’s gym bag

“My battery died when I returned to my desk and read the text, my car charger is lost”

She looked nervous and afraid

“What happened?”

“Hes a great kid he did nothing wrong”

“Kya hua?”

He explained everything as they walked to their cars

“DHRUUUU”

“Give him time Mrunalini”

“How much time Aatreya? I mean hitting punching pulling, he already has no friends”

“I HAVE MANY FRIENDS” Dhru screamed

“Yeah right!”

“I have SO many friends” he began to cry

Aatreya was furious with her

“How can you do this?”

“I am teaching him not to use bad words”

“I JUST told u his response was piddly”

“He should just ignore”

“I WILL NOT ignore” Dhru yelled at her

“Chalaaa” she ordered with the door open

“Umm… NOOO I am going with Atty”

“U have chess, u are going to try tennis tonight” she warned

“Aaai I want to go with Atty”

“How about I bring him at 6?”

“Then I have to go back to work” That prospect bummed her more than she could ever imagine

“U could go with us, I was hoping to take him swimming with me”

“YOU don’t have to work?” she accused

He began to laugh

She realized she had missed Sameena’s appointment last week

She also realized she was marginally less anxious

The first time ever she had missed a therapy appointment

“I can go see a friend”

“I KNOW who” Dhru was beinga stinker

“No u don’t”

“Its SAMEENA” he laughed

“Nope”

“Yes it is, you missed ur appointment last Tuesday” he had a supercomputer like memory

“I don’t.. I didn’t” she swallowed “Pfft… I don’t have appointments”

Aatreya didn’t push

“I can pick him up after my appointment” she blurted accidentally

“Oh? Great”

Jaidrith was inside Aatreya’s car playing with the touch screen

She kept a side eye on him

“She is my therapist” she said quietly

“Great” he nodded blandly

“It was a lot to deal with u know his allergies my work pressure, single parenting” she said softly

“I cannot even imagine” he nodded somberly

“K my secret’s out” she rubbed her forehead cringing

Looking away and then back at him

“My secret’s out, so what is yours?” she challenged

Ohh yes.

I was thinking what secret does Atty have. He already has mentioned that he is divorced. No kids.

I do hope he tells her that he was in Mumbai to find her. Mrunalini will feel self assured if he admits that. She won't be insecure that Atty will runaway with Dhruv or Atty is putting up with her for Dhruv's sake.

Waiting for Dhruv to call Atty Dad.

Atty would love ❤️ it. For him even now his kid can do no wrong. God only knows how much he will pamper Dhruv once he actually calls him Dad. Or maybe he will then wear shoes of father and be bit stern.

Like the way she is interacting with Atty these days. Openly challenging him and bantering.

Ward off men!!

“I was hoping if I volunteer to pick him up every day you would let him stay over some night” he said somberly

“Oh? “Oh wow” “Umm”

“We need to talk about it soon

“THAT’S ur secret?”

“What were you expecting?”

“I told you something explosive” she was solemn

“I lied to my Amma about where I was going that night I met you” he said

“Oh did u?” she looked at him intensely

He nodded slllowly

“Where were you supposed to be?”

“At my Aunt’s in Worli”

“But u went to Lonavala?”

“I guess so”

“Does she still live here?”

“She divides her time between her daughters and Mumbai”

“Oh”

“She is in town now, would you like to meet her?”

“Why?”

“So u can rub my nose in dirt and reveal to her what I was up to almost 11 years ago?” he chuckled

“No… that’s fine” she was uncomfortable

“I am OK with pranks Mrunalini, we cannot be forever suspicious of each other right?”

“Basically I should quit being wary of you?”

“I would hope so” he smiled

Dhru honked LOUDDLY

They jumped out of their skin

“Do u want to come over for dinner Friday night? Or Saturday?”

“To meet your team?”

“Umm.. NO… why?” he was confused

“Then why?”

He had to laugh

“To EAT?”

“Ah? Oh!... dinner?”

Her mind plotted to get out of it

“U can make it if u want him home on Friday night or Saturday otherwise he stays with me?” he nodded his eyes twinkling

He was so wicked she thought

“So u will just keep him?”

“Can I?”

“Umm.. No”

“So yeah 7 PM on Saturday?”

“Are you giving me a break every Saturday?”

“No actually I am overseas quite a bit the next couple months so I will do my best this month”

“Where are you going?” she was curious

She was getting used to the convenience the assistance the conversations and the help he was offering

“Just SE Asia”

“Do u head the region?”

“I do”

“Oh” “Umm.. OK”

“If he didn’t have school I could bring him with me”

“How would u work?”

“I would not” he smiled sheepishly

“U better work”

“I agree”

“OK Thanks, can I go now?”

“If u want to”

“Yeah he wants to try tennis”

“My society has a court as well”

“Mine did… “ stopping (Sagar’s Bandra apartment was NOT hers)

“Umm.. we can also talk about how and when I can begin financially supporting his needs?”

“Why do you want to do everything?” she accused

“Because he is my child”

“I am more than financially secure to care for him”

“I am sure, I am I was an absentee parent I have to do my bit”

“I don’t think Dhru will need your money”

“I am sure he wont, but I need to pitch in”

“U want to help so you can insinuate urself in our lives” she muttered distressed

“No I want to help so I can make it easier for u to accept me as a parent”

“U don’t have to pay me to do that”

“What do I have to do? Then?”

“Umm..”

“A chance encounter is how I found out about my child Mrunalini, nothing you say will make it go away or make sense”

“We don’t know each other trying to be friends is not going to work”

“Maybe… so maybe…. How about lets keep it all business sans the kiss” laughing “We make it business and draft a plan for his future”

“I can pay for his college” “Not Wharton but definitely IIM”

“Ouch! Ive never heard anyone use Wharton as a cuss word” he laughed hysterically

And watched her turn red

She sat behind her wheel, he coaxed Dhru out and bend down by her window as she slid it down

“Are you engaged?” he asked

She looked at him confused at first and astonished later

“Oh? The ring?”

“I wear it to ward off men looking for a connection” she air strummed with her fingers

He smiled and stepped away waving

She did a face palm

She had just told him she was not engaged!!

Idiot!

Atty pitching in financially would be the right thing to do, even if Mru doesn't like it. It does not make her any less a parent. Her insecurity is making her feel that way. But at the same time, Atty needs to avoid over compensating and making Mru feel like she needs to compete.
