Part 1:
"Happy Birthday to you…Happy Birthday to dear Krish… Happy Birthday to you", the song faded as Krish cut the giant number 1 cake with the help of his parents Tarun and Binita Sablok.
There were a lot of guests at the party; most of them were Krishs' friends from his playschool and their families. Earlier during the week they already had a small celebration at the playschool for his birthday but Tarun had insisted on another celebration. Krish was dressed up as Tweety bird ("Teedy" as he had recently started to call it) in the Disney themed party.
The last week and half had been very eventful since Krish had not only taken his first few steps without any support from his parents but had also learnt his first few words including his own name "Kish Sabok", "momma", "dada", and "Teedy".
On hearing those first words Tarun's joy knew no bounds and he had instantly decided that this was an occasion to celebrate and no one could stop him from celebrating his son's achievements at such a small age. Binita had just looked on, delighted, as Tarun observed on how his son had taken from his father in every department, both his looks and brains. Yet, she knew there was something she saw in his eyes she could not understand, something distant, something painful….
Binita was apprehensive of having this party not since she did not like to organize parties but she had begun to detest company of any sort. She was not sure, but she always felt suffocated when she was in a large company. But she would hate to disappoint Tarun and hence has reluctantly agreed. The Patel's, the elderly couple from next door and her employer had been very helpful with the planning and Binita did not know how to thank them enough.
They had been her family since they moved to the States and had helped her through the hard times during her pregnancy, the initial months, and of course the times when Tarun was constantly traveling. She had recently started working part time at one of their Motels as the relationships manger and also looked over their accounts. They had offered her this post when they felt that sitting at home with not much to do was not doing her much good. Tarun too had been supportive with her decision to take up this job.
She sighed; a lot had changed in her life since that fateful morning. She shrugged and just went ahead to greet some of her guests who were now beginning to leave.

Part 2:
Tarun looked across the hall at his wife and smiled. He felt like he was the happiest man on the face of the earth since he had such a lovely family. But…he would love to make this permanent. He was determined to do this soon.
He walks over to where Binita and Krish were standing and waving goodbye to the last of their guests. He took Krish from Binita's arms, kissed her lightly on her cheek smiled at her and walked towards where the Patels were standing. Binita was surprised with Tarun's behavior and stood rooted to the spot wondering about what just happened. He had never behaved like this before.
Seeing Tarun approach them, Medha Patel started walking towards Binita to help her with the cleanup, while the men settled themselves to a last round of drinks.
"Beta, today's function was really good. We should do this more often. Maybe we can have a big celebration for your and Tarun's marriage anniversary. You know I like to see you both happy and smiling..." said Mrs. Patel.
"Mumma…" Binita trailed off. Binita always felt very close to Medha and had adopted her as her mother. She shared everything with Medha and hence after a little hesitation continues, "You know the circumstances of our marriage and how it stands today. I know Tarun loves Krish but I don't know how he feels about me. I don't even know how I feel about him. All I know is that he is husband and was always there whenever I needed him. Moreover, I have never liked parties ever."
Medha gave a knowing smile and told Binita "Beta, I know how things are between you and Tarun today. But things do change; all you need to do is give it a try. Trust me everything will be fine".
Both mother daughter got a little emotional with their little heart to heart and hugged each other wiping the tiny droplets of tears on the other's cheeks. Seeing this Tarun and Mr. Patel walked over to them with Krish in tow. "What did do to Mrs. P, Binita? Why are you making my favorite lady in the world cry?" he asked teasingly.
"Taaaruuuunnnn, don't be harsh on my daughter now. We were just having a mother daughter moment and don't forget she is my daughter first and your wife second." She tried to reprimand Tarun. Taking Krish from Tarun, she kissed Krish goodnight and said, "Arre mera raja beta…aaj party mein mazaa aaya na tumko." Krish just nodded rubbing his eyes. "Kal tum nana nani ke saath bahar gumne chaloge?" Hearing this Krish got super excited and started clapping his hands. "Isi bahane mummy aur daddy ko kuch araam karne ka time mil jayega, kyon Tarun?" giving him a knowing look.
Tarun knew where Mrs. P was heading and saw this as his chance. "Thank you Mrs. P. I was actually going to ask you if you could baby sit Krish tomorrow. I was hoping to take Binita out tomorrow for sometime. Chalogi na Bini?" He smiled. Hearing this Binita was further shocked. But she did not say anything.
Tarun knew he had to jump to the opportunity Mrs. P was giving him but he had not made any plans. Also, he knew if he would ask Binita later she would have said no. So he had to ask her out in front of everyone. All Binita could say was hmmm…
Mr. and Mrs. Patel also left saying call us whenever you guys are about to leave and we will take Krish with us. Tarun knew he had opened his big mouth but he had no clue what he would do tomorrow. He gave Krish to Binita and told her to take him to bed while he finished cleaning up (and also planning for tomorrow). Binita replied, "Tarun you know you will not be able to finish all this cleaning up by yourself. Why don't you take Krish to bed and I will clean up here? Anyways he will not sleep without you around so you might as well take him to bed" she smiled as she said this.
