Neil rushed out of his room and run outside to the car area. On his way, He messaged the driver not to come. He came outside to see Ahana sitting swing hanging in the front porch waiting for the driver. She was staring at her phone with a sad soft smile.  Neil slowly approached her. Neil saw her looking at a picture of Him and her with the kids. In the picture. Neil was tickling Ansh and Naira while Aryan was hiding behind Ahana who was laughing. A soft chuckled left his throat remembering the day.  Ahana jumped seeing him leaning over her shoulder.

Ahana:"Ahh..n..Neil... W..what.. are... yo..you doing..here?"(She stuttered)

Neil:(smiled and mimicked her)"Y..y..yes ..m.me A..aha..Ahana"(She looked down embarrassed while he smiled at her cuteness)"Common let's go get the kids"

Ahana:"Kids? but I was going with the driver."

Neil:(as he headed to his car)"The driver is not coming"

Ahana:"what?"(She starts to open her phone to message when she feels Neil hold her hand and take her to the car)

Neil:(Sternly)"Ahana just sit in the car or we will be late to pick the kids up"( Neil knew that hearing his stern voice she would do as he said and she did exactly that.)

The car ride to school was pretty boring. Neil tried to have conversation with her but she just answered in yes or no or hmm. He couldn't do much as he needed to focus on driving instead of her at the moment.

As they reached the school, Neil parked the car in the waiting area. Before he could turn and talk to her, she went out towards where the kids stood while Neil sighs. Neil got out of the car as he saw the kids run and hug Ahana while she took their bags and the 4 of them walked towards the car. A smile came in his face seeing Ahana laugh at what Ansh said.

Aryan:"Papa!"(He said running towards Neil to hug him along with the other 2 munchkins )

The kids settled in the car as everyone started to drive home, or so they thought. Ahana was busy listening to the kids talk when she saw that Neil parked the car in a park area. She looked confused while the kids jumped seeing the park.

Naira:"Papa park!"

Neil:"Yes princess. It's been a while since we have family time. Just the 5 of us. Now common who wants to play"(The kids yelled in excitement as they ran of while Ahana and Neil also got out of the car.)

Neil went in whispered something in Aryan ears before heading to Ahana and holding her hands and dragging her to the end of the park, behind the tree, where it was mostly empty and no one could disturb them.

Ahana:"Neil..What are you doing? The kids"

Neil:"Don't worry. I can see them from here and Nothing will happen to them. As for you and me. We need to talk"

Ahana:(Understanding what he needs to talk about)"Neil I don't want to talk about it. I ...I I know you hate me. I am fine with that. Just plz don't ..."

Neil:(cutting her off)"Who said I hate you?"(Ahana looked on confused)"I could never hate you Ahana.(He sighs as he holds her hand in his)"loving someone isn't a crime. I know few hours back at home when you opened your heart out, you would have wanted me to console you but I didn't. And I am sorry for that. I was just too stunned. I am not gonna lie I did feel that I could never love you, but I never hated you for loving me. Ahana I.. always felt like it would be me cheating on Aarti if I love someone else. I can understand that somewhere in your heart you felt the same when you recognize you love for me."
