DhruvTara: The twist of Time

Chapter 15: Dhruv reunites with his family

Sukanya hid the complaint note from Dhruv, but her fight with Yuvraj was going on which attracted teacher's attention. As she asked the signed note from Sukanya, she failed to provide it, and thus got gurdian call. She was afraid to go to Dhruv. Not for fright but because he's someone she's grateful for life. She felt uneasy to bother him. So went to Tara, with whom she have developed a sisterly bond in these 5 years.
"Rajkumari ji......"
"Keya hua Sukanya...."
Sukanya put forward the note.
"Yeh keya?! Tum Vidyalay mai......"
"Woh larka bohat bura hai..."
"To aap use marenge?!"
"Humain shama kar dijiye... aap chaliye na humare sath... Dhruv bhayiya ko pata chalega to unhe bura lagega..."
"Hmm... thick hai... parantu aap humain bachan dijiye... aur kabhi aap aisa nehi karenge..."
"Ji Rajkumari ji... hum vachan dete hai..."

Next day,
Tara went to Sukanya's school to attend her gurdian call. Yuvraj and his friends were quiet happy and were gossiping in the school playgroud when suddenly they saw Sukanya holding her guardian's hand and going towards the car.
"Bare ghar ki larki hai yeh... isliye nakhre yada hai iske....." commented Yuvraj's friend
"Ameer hai to garibo ke school mai keu ati?!" Laughed another.
"Fail kiya hoga dekho jake......"

As other boys were laughing Yuvraj's eyes were straight at Tara.
"Keya hua Yuvraj.... tu aise keya dekh raha??"
Yuvraj did reply but ran towards Tara.
"TARA DIDI......" shouted Yuvraj. Tara looked behind.
"Inko mat dekhiye Rajkumari ji.... gandhe larke hai.... mazak banayenge mera...." whispered Sukanya.
"Tara didi......" Yuvraj came nearer.
"Tum inka naam kaise jante??" Attacked Sukanya
"Tara didi..... mai.... PRINCE....." replied Yuvraj without paying heed to Sukanya
Tara was shocked, she instantly caressed Prince's head and cheeks, "Prince?!"
"Aaplog kaha chale geye the..." cried Prince, "Woh... woh 8 saal pehle Dhruv bhayiya apke sath geye the.... fer aur kabhi lautke na aye..... apko pata hai Jay bhayiya bhi na hum sabko chorke kahi chale geye... Ravi chacha bhi laut aye .. unhone bola apne unko wapas laya.... but aplog to nehi mile kahi...... sabkuch bik geya.... kuch nehi raha....... mujhe aur woh English school mai padha na paye.... to yaha..... "
Tara hugged Prince as he started sobbing.
"Koi baat nehi Prince... tumhare Dhruv bhayiya hai na... sab thick kar denge... accha... tum mujhe le ja sakte ho... apne ghar??"
"Ghar?! Ghar to woh hai nehi... per ha... le to mai apko jarur jaunga...."
"Chalo ay jao gari pe..."
Sukanya frowned. She doesn't like sitting beside this bad boy, moreover he's hugging Rajkumari ji so freely... calling her Dhruv bhayiya as his bhayiya... she's jealous now. How can this boy be more close to Rajkumari ji than her?!

"Per Tara didi.... Cycle...."
"Woh yaha rahega to samasya hoga..."
"Nehi... samasya to na hoga....."

"Yeh chintu yeh Yuvraj aise gale keu par raha hai Sukanya ke didi ke?!"
"Sayed jaan pehchan hogi"
"Ro bhi raha tha..."
"Yeh dekh ghadi mai bhi uth geya...."
"Cycle kaun le jayega uska?!"
"R a hum le jate hai na... pas ke basti mai hi to rehta hai woh..."
"Sahi hai...."

Prince took Tara to his shabby colony. The car couldn't enter the narrow roads and so had to park it on the main road. Prince took Tara and Sukanya through the labyrinth of narrow lanes walled by shabby buildings with asbestor sheds. Tara was shocked. What did she made of Dhruv's family. Just because he went with her...... just because he.......

Soon they reached a small house. Prince knocked. Taiji opened the door.
"Ferse der ki tune... kaha reh......" Taiji's eyes got stuck at Tara.
"Tara?!" Exclaimed Taiji. Tara greeted with folded hands in hesitation. Taiji took her in, all were shocked to see her.
"Tara beti?!" Ravi came to her, "Itne salo baad?!"
Tara was unable to recognise him at first. Sukanya frowned at him and exclaimed, "Ravi baba?!"
"Humaro lalla kaha hai...." Sushila started crying.
"Hai maji... hospital mai hai.... sayed operation kar rahe... to phone na utha rahe...."
Dharmendra stood behind with shinning eyes.
"Tumhare ghar ke baki sab kaise hai?? Tumare pitasri... ma... bhaiji... "
Tara just stared blankly.
"Swaraswati ko kitna galat samjha tha maine..." said Sushila, "Ravi usko chorne geye the aur unke sath hatsa ho geya... unlogo ne chikitsa ki inki... aur hum keya na keya sraap dete rahe unhe... kaha hai tumhari ma beti??" Asked Sushila
"Hai .... humare sath rehte hai...." answered Tara.
"Tumlogo ke sath?? Keu??" Asked Ravi
A drop of tear rolled down Tara's cheeks.
"Chikitsak Dhruv ke sath Tara didi ke pitasri ne shadi tyar kar di thi... jo inke purvatan mangetar Samrat singh ko na accha laga.... Samrat Singh ne Tara didi ki bhaiji ko bish khilaya tha jiske liye unke mastisk mai gyat hua... jiske upchar liye Chikitsak Dhruv geye the waha..... yeh sab sach samne ate.... aur Tara didi aur Chikitsak Dhruv ka shadi tyar hote..... Samrat Singh ne Tara didi ke pita ki hatya kar di.... ilzam Chikitsak Dhruv pe lana chahe parantu safal na hue....."
Sushila was moved back. Swaraswati became a widow?! Did her curse fall on her?!
"Wapas aye the hum shadi ke paschat..... Dhruv ne tab bhi dhuna aplogo ko..." said Tara.
"Dhuna to hoga hi apni lalla ne...." Sushila wiped her tears.
"Tara beti... ekber fer phone laga na Dhruv ko..." said Nani.
Tara nodded and dialed the call.
"Speaker pe lagana ha..." requested Taiji.
The phone was ringing. Soon Dhruv picked it up.
"Keya Rajkumari ji aaj apko itni bechani keu ho rahi hai..... subah er 6 missed call.... ittu si bhi judai ka gham sehen nehi ho raha keya apse..." Dhruv cracked a naughty joke aloud.
"Bakwas bandh karo.... tumhare dursanchar yantra mai manchitra ka diknirdeshan bheja hai..."
The other side went silent for sometimes then a judgement statement came forth.
"To sidhe hindi mai bolo na yaar maps mai directions bheja hai....."
"Tum jo bhasa bol rahe woh Hindi hai?!"
"Chodo.... kiska directions...."
"Abassak karya hai... sighra ayo...."
"R a keya abassak karya??"
"Raghu chacha ko bhej rahi... woh leke ayenge apko....."
"R a keya bol rahi..... kuch samach nehi ay raha...."
"Sawal mat karo byas ayoo......".
Tara hung the call.
Dhruv went confused. But he have to abide by Rajkumari ji ka adesh.
