The door opens.

It was Stephen.

He was looking from his dad to his mom for while, as they looked shocked at his sight.

To break the silence Daniel spoke up, "What happened son? Is there some issue?"

"No nothing dad" Stephen replied "I just came to tell that we all are going to Nemo's house".

"Ok. But how are you going?" said Monica.

"Bike" he replied.

"Be safe.Okay?" asked Daniel.

"Hmm" Stephen nodded his head.

"Papa. Muma. Are you both alright? You both look a bit worried" asked Stephen.

"No there is nothing" Monica answered in a hurry, which made Stephen more suspicious "Is there anything Daniel? Nothing right? Nothing. Stephen you can go to her house but come back soon. Ok then bye"

"Bye muma. Bye papa" said Stephen in a bit unsatisfied way.

In the garage.

"Stephen what did they say" asked Kane.

Stephen was not at all listening what Kane said. He was still thinking about the awkward behaviour of his parents.

"Stephen?" Felix called Stephen with giving a shake on his shoulder.

"Yeah" he replied but he didn't know what was the topic on which they were discussing. So since they were in garage, he thought they were talking about how they were going. "It would be good if we go in bikes" he said.

"Stephen I think that we had decided that earlier. We are asking whether they let us go?" asked Felix.

"Yeah. Yeah. We can go" said Stephen in a hurry.

"Is there something wrong buddy" asked Felix.

"No nothing" lied Stephen. "Okay let's go".

They went.

In the living room.

"Did he listen?" asked Monica.

"Don't know" replied Daniel.

"I wonder how long he have been standing there".

"I don't think that he might have heard us because if he had, he would have questioned. Monica you know right how he is".

"That's a point too".

"I think there is nothing wrong if he heard us. After all he have to know everything one day. No matter the day is today or tomorrow."

"Daniel. You are not trying to understand me."

"Other than me who else can know you better, dear".

"Then why are you not talking on my side".

"Because I think you are wrong. I know that you see him just like your own son and I can understand the feelings of a mother."

The door opened.

This time it was Daniel's manager.

"Now what" asked Daniel.

"Sir, it's again.. " before he could complete.

"Okay. Okay. I am coming,. you go ahead" said Daniel.

His manager left the room.

"At what time is your flight" asked Daniel.

"At five" she replied.

"So you have plenty of time left" he said.

"Yeah." she said.

"Okay then see you later. I will come home, we can go together" he said.

"Yep. It would be great" she replied.

Daniel got up and was about to leave the room when she called him.

"Daniel.." she called. Daniel turned over.

"Okay I agree with you" she said. "But please promise me that you will only tell him when we both are together" she demanded.

"Yes dear I promise you" he said delightfully and hugged her.

"Okay then Daniel you carry on. I also have to do the packing" she said.

"Okay see you later" he kissed on her cheek and left the room.
