Geet quickly takes out Ajay's coat...Ajay looks up and smiles when he saw his dad standing right behind Geet...Geet turns around and looks at him with a smile.
Dev (bends down and hugs Ajay) I told you I would come
Ajay: Yay am so happy.thanks dad
Dev (smiles) no problem.make sure you win okay
Ajay: okay (the coach blows the whistle...)
Geet: Okay Ajay go get them and win..okay
Ajay: Okay...
he gives her a quick hug before going into the field..she looks across the field and saw Maan standing there with Pari smiling at him.she didn't know why but she felt weird with Dev standing here right next to her...Maan looked at her husband..interacting with Geet..he felt kind of jealous...why? He barely knew Geet...but someone he felt like he had a connection with her...He looked at both of them sitting down on the bleachers...she looks at him and motions for him and Pari to come..he shakes his head no...
Geet: I didn't think you would come today? (she says while looking at Ajay playing in the field..she smiles and waves at him..)
Dev: I had made a promise to him...so I came
Geet: how thoughtful...what about during the summer...he wants to have a trip
Dev (sighs) I can't..I am booked
Geet: really? I can't believe this..he is your son...can't you take couple of days off for him?
Dev: I wish I could but I can't...(Geet looks at him shaking her head...she controls her tears and smiles at Ajay..he was looking at both of them..she gives him a reassuring smile...after the game..Ajay and his team collects the trophy..they came in second place..but Ajay was more then happy...Dev gives Ajay a hug...)
Ajay: look at my trophy
Dev: Yeah I am looking..its beautiful..I have to go now okay
Ajay:Okay (he gives him a sad look)
Dev: I promise to meet you soon..bye Geet
Geet: Bye...(she quickly says before holding Ajay's hand...she puts his coat on..Maan comes with Pari)
Maan: Good job Ajay..that was a wonderful game
Ajay: Thanks
Geet: All ready to go now?
Ajay: Yes..
Maan and Geet walked together while the kids ran through the park...both didn't know what to say...feeling awkward and weird..they didn't know to call this a good or bad day..but it sure was a memorable day..which none of both will forget
Geet: Hey I was thinking if you and Pari would like to come over for dinner...it looks like kids enjoy each other's company
Maan (looks at Geet) umm you know I can't...I am tired..
Geet: ohh yeah..sure..I understand
Maan: Well it was nice meeting you today
Geet: okay..bye..take care
Maan: you too..(he calls Pari and leaves with her..Geet watches them leave before hailing a taxi for herself as well)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8pm
Maan tucked Pari in..the kitten was on top of Pari...Maan smiles at her...
Maan: You know you might have to come here everyday now..to take care of the kitten...do you think you can handle that?
Pari: Yes...I can...
Maan (kisses her good night) okay you rest now...we have to get up early tomorrow (Maan gets up to turn off the lights)
Pari; Dad what do you think of Ajay's mom?
Maan (looks at her totally baffled by her question) what do you mean?
Pari; You know when me and Geet were in the bathroom..she was asking about you..if you had any girlfriends
Maan: She did?
Pari: yes
Maan: Good night..(he turns off the lights)
Pari: Good night
Maan (after few seconds he turn on the room lights) she said she likes me?
Pari (looks at him) its pretty obvious she does
Maan (sits near her) What else did she say?
Pari: I dont' know..am pretty tired..good night dad
Maan (gets up to head toward his room) hmm good night (After few seconds he turns on the lights..) you know what we forgot..the fishes..
Pari: What?
Maan; Yeah we have to give her new fishes..come lets go...lets get ready
Pari: Now?
Maan: yeah...(he gives her..her coat)
Pari: but am in my pj's
Maan: you look beautiful..come..(he picks her up with one arm..)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet stood near the window thinking about her day..she smiles when she thinks about Maan and all their fights...she goes to the kitchen to prepare Ajay's lunch for tomorrow...she drops the sauce on her shirt when she heard the doorbell...
Geet: Am coming..(she goes to the door and opens it...she saw Maan standing there with Pari in his arms..)
Maan: umm Pari wanted to drop the fishes by...she insisted
Geet: ohh well that is very thoughtful..thank you Pari..do you uhh guys want to come in?
Maan: Well we don't want to intrude
Geet: ohh well okay
Maan: we can?
Geet: yes
Maan (steps in with Pari) Well thank you
Geet (puts the fishes in the bowl) no problem...
Ajay (comes outside and smiles) Hi Maan..Hi Pari
Pari: Hi Ajay
Ajay: do you wanna come see my room?
Pari: sure (While the kids were inside...Maan looks around the apartment...it consisted of her family photos and photos of her and Ajay...Geet comes out carrying two cups of tea)
Geet: You are investigating my apartment...
Maan (turns around) its not as neat as I thought it would be
Geet: Its only neat during the weekends when my mom stops by for her inspection...if it is not neat then she sighs letting me know that she is not happy with my lifestyle and my choices...
Ajay: mom can we watch movies?
Geet: umm yeah sure..here watch wizard of oz...you guys can watch it in my room..(the kids go there..Geet closes the door looking at Maan)
Maan: having kids can always be tough
Geet: well after his dad and I got divorce...I placed his photos in Ajay's room..i didn't want him to think that he doesn't love him...umm is your tea okay?
Maan: huh umm yeah..listen I gotta come straight and ask you something..
Geet: umm okay sure
Maan: why did you spent the whole day flirting with me when you were thinking of going back to your ex-husband?
Geet: What? (she looks at him..he was standing near her) I did not..I remember disliking you the whole day...in fact it was you..you told kids you wanted to ask me out
Maan; i never did that
Geet: Yes you did..they were talking about feelings and big secret...
Maan: okay (he comes near her...) the big secret was about Ajay being in the hospital...I never thought about asking you out
Geet: yeah I am so sure
Maan: ohh come on ...I knew you wanted me the minute you had a big grin on your face when I dropped Ajay and Pari with you...
Geet: No I did not..and for someone who said that he is not interested in the other person..you sure do remember little details
Maan: so you admit that you did smile when you saw me
Geet: I did not
Maan: yes you did
Geet; NO I didn't...(she was against the wall now...)
Maan: what if I say I want to kiss you right now?
Geet (looks at him) You are not gonna kiss me right now
Maan (takes the coffee from her hand) what would you do if I did?
Geet: do you wanna kiss me right now?
Maan (comes very close to her) I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't...
Geet: Okay (As soon as they were about to kiss the kids yell..Maan moves away from her...Geet opens the bedroom door) what?
Ajay: How do you forward the movie?
Geet (does it quickly..she saw Maan sitting on the sofa) okay now enjoy (she quickly closes the door..she stands in front of Maan) You know lets do this right..let me go and get freshen up so that I don't look like a dead beat mother
Maan: okay
Geet: don't' go anywhere
Maan: I won't
Geet quickly goes into the bathroom and brushes her teeth while saving her legs at the same time..Maan looks through the magazines waiting for her..Geet tries on many different outfits and fixing her hair..an hour later she comes out and stands in front of him..she saw that he was asleep..she sits near him and places her head on his shoulder before dosing off herself...kids open the bedroom door curious about what their parents are doing...they saw that both were sleeping..they laugh to themselves before going back to the room...
