THE NEXT MORNING
Yuvan had left for school that morning and Meera had just finished a zoom meeting with some of her clients. When Aarav knocked on her office door. "Come in" she said. Aarav walked in and said "someone is looking for you ma'am"
"Okay I'll be right down" she said. She got downstairs and to her surprise, she saw Jude. Meera froze at his sight and felt a mix of anger, and disgust. "Who let him in, Aarav, send this man away" Meera said and turned her back to leave. "Meera please wait, just hear me out" Jude pleaded. On hearing those words from his mouth, she fumed. She exhaled and ignored him. "Aarav, take him away" and she left. Aarav escorted Jude outside the house. "Look, please can I just wait out here at least let me see my son, please" he pleaded with Aarav. "I'm sorry sir but I was given orders to take you out of this premises" he said and Jude left.
Unknown to them, Jude waited in his car parked outside waiting for Yuvan.
BACK IN THE HOUSE
3:00PM
Meera took the keys to her car and went downstairs, and told Manu that she'd be the one to pick Yuvan up from school today. "But why Meera? I can do it" he said. "No, I'm fine, you go get some rest okay, love you" she said and gave him a peck on his cheek and left.
