TRUTH- AN ILLUSION

Chapter 25

Red heart shaped Balloons are scattered on the marble floor .A big chandelier is hanging at the centre of the roof.Flower pots with different types of flowers are kept on the tables with hundredth of scented candles dissolving their scent in the surrounding.Some of the candles are also placed on the bank a large swimming pool which can be seen from the transparent sliding glass door, that connects the room with the swimming pool.

Rose petals are scattered on the floor making pavement from the door of the room till the bed through the wide stairs which are not too high .

Wearing a red gown, she walks on the the rose path, kicking the balloons which comes into her way ,her long hair is scattered on her shoulder , covering it despite of her off-shoulder
gown.Her face colour is giving tough competition to the colour of gown under his gaze.She stops near him and looks down as he is not bothering to blink.

She turns back to ignore his gaze and moves forward but he stops her holding her wrist and pull her toward himself such that her back collides with his chest.He lean on her shoulder removing her hairs from it.

"Mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai."She said fidging with her hands looking down shyly.

"to kaho na"He said huskily in her ears.
She turns towards him looking down shyly
"I...I ......I ....."She said in her sweet voice.
"you?"He asked raising his brows.

"I can't take him along" Her voice suddenly change into harsh manly voice with Tamil ascent."Sorry."

He looks at her with wide eyes with confused expression.
She looks up and suddenly her face starts swelling up and eyes starts expanding wide while a long moustache starts forming on her face.

"Ananyaaaa"He shouted stunned moving backward as her face becomes  5 times bigger from her body with a long moustache on her face.

"Ananya nhi,Khumbhkaran."She said leaning on him in her own voice . "Hahahahahahahaa"

He stumbles back and fall on the soft bed but it hits him like a hard ground.He closes his eyes in pain.

"Dabbu"Her concerned voice  strikes in his ear .He opens his eyes abruptly hoping to see that gigantic face with moustach.

"Khumbhakaran "He crawls away from her shouting but stops after some distance looking at her face which is of usual size and without moustache.

"tum ... Tum to khumbhkaran thi na"He said sliding toward her cautiously."

"Wow,Haathi bech kar tum so rahe the aur khumbakaran mai hu"Said Ananya looking at him unbelievably.

"So Raha tha"He said looking at her and then looks around at the car which is just  behind  Ananya,road on which car is standing and they are sitting, woods on the both side of the road.

He sits looking at the surrounding recalling how he came there.
Flashback starts.

"Ballu paanch minute ruk jaa ,mujhe naha kar aane de " Said Mahesh flipping pages of newspaper while taking tea from Dev's hand.

"Aur uske baad mai nahane jaungi"Said Ananya as he enter in the kitchen and keeps the tray.

Dev stands at the entrance of the kitchen and examine the total situation . His mother is now in bathroom and is about to come out .His father is reading newspaper while drinking tea and Ananya is making snacks in the kitchen. and all of them are waiting to take bath.He looks at them and at the door of the bathroom which is opening and then at the towel lying on the chair .
