A Lot Like Love

For My Loving Dad

When the lights went off and rishi came to the stage karan and priya looked at him

After he hold the mike she said 

Rishi : I dont know if you are here today or not dad but i want to dedicate my today's performance to you 

Karan looked at priya so priya left his hand and karan went to sit 

He performed "Just the two of us" by bill withers

While he was performing karan was feeling so emotional that his eyes got teary

Then at the end everyone clapped for rishi and then he went to the backstage where priya was waiting for her he rushed to her and hugged 

Rishi : I did it teacher i did it 

Before priya could say anything they heard karan's voice

Karan : Rishi 

So he broke the hug and looked at karan and moved her eyes on priya she was smiling 

Karan came to him and bent on his knees to hug rishi 

After they broke the hug karan said 

I am so sorry rishi you know what i have never been a good father to you 

Rishi : Dont say that dad you are the best father thats why you did listen to teacher and came here right you came here for me 

Karan : Teacher ?

Rishi : Yes she my teacher 

Then she pointed his fingers towards priya karan got up and knotted his eyebrows 

Just then they heard the anchor was calling all the participants for the prize distribution 

Priya : Rishi you need to go to the stage 

Rishi : Okay teacher but both of you stay here i will be back soon okay dad

Karan nodded his head and then gave a flying kiss to his son

after rishi left karan came and stand beside priya 

Karan : I didnt know that you

Priya : I dont want to talk to you but i am greatful atleast you didnt break rishi's heart for you so important meeting

she stretched the last few words 

Karan : Work is also important atleast you should understand that 

priya turn to karan 

Yeah but why are you struggling so much to make your son happy to secure his future but in all this mess you are leaving your son behind he is alone i dont think i should say this but i cant help he is sad and feels lonely only you could make him feel that you are going to stay with him for forever i am an outsider i can fix his mood but not his heart you need to do it by yourself

Karan : i thought tum sirf rishi ki teacher ho lekin tum toe

Priya gave a sneer look and about to leave but karan hold his hand so priya got baffled 

Karan : I didnt meant to make a fun of it i know rishi needs me but i hardly gets time after his mother left i was completely downfallen she was my childhood best friend whenever i see rishi he reminds me of his mother and all the old stuff i i just wanted to escape from all this 

Priya : Escape from your responsibilities mr khanna he is your son you just cant get rid of him like this try to fight the situation and make rishi as your biggest strength he is a bright kid who needs a support only you can be that 

Karan was about to say something but rishi came there he was juming out of joy 

Priya quickly released her hand from him and left

Rishi got a little confuse and asked karan 

Rishi : Did you guys fight again why did she left ?

Karan : Rishi dont blame me we didnt had a fight she must be go somewhere thats why she left 

Rishi narrowed his eyes and asked 

You are not lying right dad ?

Karan raised his eyebrows and and took rishi in his arms 

So now you are doubting your dad for her haan now tell me did you get the prize or not ?

Rishi nodded his head to yes 

Then showed the trophy and three tickets to wonder park 

Karan : Thats like my son from now on i am gonna appoint one more teacher for your piano clas you are really doing good rishi 

Then they started walking towrads to exit while talking with each other 

At the night when they were having there dinner rishi was looking at those tickets 

Rishi : Dad we have got an extra ticket what should we do with that 

Karan : I have told you earlier you shouldnt have accept that one just return it tomorrow 

Rishi : But dad this i rightfully deserves 

Karan : Rishi we cant waste na 

Rishi : Wait dad i have an idea 

Karan srinked his eyebrows and said
