DhruvTara: The twist of Time

Chapter 5: The praise of Dhruv

The Devgarh family tried their best to be normal in the abnormal situation. Minakshi went to the kitchen and got stunned by the advanced settings. It looked like a magical wonder kitchen. She felt it would be safer to walk out.

As she walked out she collided with Rakesh who was slidding fast over the smooth marble floor. Minakshi was shocked and so was Rakesh. He managed to be straight and looked at Minakshi with a frown, "Bhabi... apne plastic surgery kar li keya...."

"Heyy... aap kaun hai...." Bhabosa came charging
Rakesh was more confused, "Aunty aapne bhi plastic surgery kar li....."
"Aapki himmat kaisi hui....." Pratap showed his Kingly valour to save his bhabosa and Sister.
"Sirrrrr...... aap ek raat mai itna badal kaise geye..." Exclaimed Rakesh, "lambe bhi ho geye chehra bhi badal geya... mooche bhi ay geye... "

"Rakesh aap kab aye...." called Tara while descending the stairs.
Rakesh looked at Tara, then looked at others and itched his head.
"Oo bhabi aap udar... mujhe laga apki puri family ne plastic surgery kar li....."
Tara frowned, "Aapne raat ko acche se soya nehi keya... mehman hai...."
"Ha ha... ha ha..."

"Jaise bhabisa yeh plati... plati sugi... keya hai..." asked Minakshi
"Platic surgury.... arthat kisika mukh akdam se badal dena... " replied Tara.
"Adbhut...." exclaimed Minakshi

"Kisika huliya ekdam se badalna nehi...." Dhruv said while descending the stairs, "kisike sarir ke upar ke skin ko.. arthat twatcha ko.. badal dena... jaise kisika mu agar jal jaye... ya sirf mu keu.. koi bhi ang jaal jaye to hum plastic surgery karte.. dusri jagah ki twatcha lekar us jagah pe lagate.. aap jab mu pe yeh karikram kare to kabhi kabhi logo ka huliya badal jata... ab aisa bhi hota ki koi koi apna huliya pasand nehi karte to woh aise huliya badalne ate... yeh bhi hota hai... "

The Devgarh family stared at Dhruv with bursted eyes.

"By the way Sir.... jiske liye mai aya daurke..." Rakesh opened the newspaper, "Yeh dekhiye Sir apka chabi chapi hai akhbar mai... kaal apne jo operation kiya na.... arthat saiylachikitsa" Rakesh turned and emphasised towards Tara, "uski khabar duniya bhar mai fail geyi.... 5 ghante mai nischit maut se lauta ke laye aap... pata hai bhabi patient ka shir buri tarah se kuchal geya tha... par Sir ne itne acche se operate kiya ki abhi woh hosh mai bhi ay chuki hai...."
"Bhadhake mat bol Rakesh... hosh mai nehi ayi hai... ventilation pe hai...."
"Haa per Sir improve to kar rahi hai na...."
"Woh larki pet se hai.... pregnant... aur larki ke ma baap jor de rahe humain abortion ko....."
"Aboton.. arthat?" Asked Tara
"Baccha gira dena..."
"Keya?! Yeh to paap hai...." exclaimed Tara
"Bacche ko duniya mai lake use acche se paal na pana usse bhi bara paap hai Tara..." replied Dhruv.
"Sir... bohat sare calls aye hai reputed news channels ke reporters se... bol rahe apka imterview lenge... arthat.. for Bhabi.. Sir ka saksatkar lena chahate hai duniya ke jane mane khabri ke pratisthan ki khabardataye....."
Tara stared blankly at Rakesh.
"Rakesh ji aap chup ho jayiye... aur anubad karne ki abasaktya nehi hai... apne aur hindi bola to hum swayam coma mai chale jayenge..." teased Dhruv.
"Parantu humain samach ay geya...." said Tara, "Aapka saksatkar lena chahate hai log... woh... durdarshan pe dikhayenge apko..." Tara pointed at the tv like a jolly child.
"Nehi Tara humain nehi dikhana aona chehra... Rakesh.. unlogo ko mana kar do..." instructed Dhruv
"Keuu Sir... itna sona chehra hai apka..."
"Rakeshhh... do as I said..."
"Gussa keu kar rahe Sir... kar deta hu mana..." Rakesh made a disappointed face.

Dhruv was drying his hair with the towel in the open terrace when Saurya ran up to him.
"Papaa... Papaa...", He called.
Dhruv halted for a moment looking at the kid's shinning eyes, trying to amalyse if it's a dream or reality. He knelt down with a wide smile.
"Beta... ferse bolo beta...." Dhruv's eyes shinned with tears.
"Papaa....."
Dhruv hugged Saurya tightly. Tears ran down his smiling cheeks.
