My eyes were ready to pop out the minute I saw the sight infront of my eyes. His men looked confused and worried. Jack furiously started looking around trying to understand who did this to him however it was obvious that no one would leave traces behind of their deeds. Especially the one that would probably be punished terribly by Daarji. Roshni kept crying nonstop when I carried her in my arms and she slowly wound her tiny little hands around my neck.

'Sir is going to create a havoc once he's awake!!!' Jack said and I knew it. It was pretty obvious if not the man would have already screamed his throat out.

'But really??? Who did this?' asked one of his gunmen and the rest of them simply shrugged their shoulders however I knew whose deeds these were and I wasn't gonna let them get away so easily. But I was worried about Shankar's reaction once he would be awake especially when tomorrow onwards the wedding rituals are going to be begin.

'Why was he sleeping here in the first place?' I asked when Jack shook his head saying 'No idea!!! He was helping the boys decorating the mansion since morning... Maybe he was tired after all of that?' and I narrowed my eyebrows and turned around looking towards the first floor only for all the boys to suddenly hide themselves.

Knew it!!!

'You all better open your mouths and tell me who did it...if not I'm going to complain about all of you to Daarji and all of you will be punished!!! Remember Dhara's wedding functions are beginning soon and you guys don't want to miss the fun!!!' I threatened them but none of them opened their mouths.

Bloody unity in diversity of theirs!!!

When suddenly we heard a loud scream and I immediately ran into the garden to see Shankar was screaming loudly like a madman.

I was having a terrible headache since last night. These kids were extremely rude to me. Neither did they let me sleep on bed, nor did they have a courtesy to offer me a quilt. I was shivering due to the freezing weather all night. I regretted saying no to Veerabhadra when he offered me to share a room last night. I wanted to impress these kids and be friends with them but forget being friends, these didn't have basic humanity. Inspite of seeing me settling on the cold floor, they decided to keep crossing me every now and then pouring some water, throwing some books on the floor or worse that Roshan boy...trying to pour some Dal on my head.

When I asked him why are they doing it, he simply shrugged his shoulders saying 'He was hungry!!!' but then I saw the boys giving each other a high five and giggling at each other. I had to not only take a bath...a cold one!!! Thanks to their geyzer not working but to make the matters worse these boys had even hidden my suitcase. I ended up running towards Veerbhadra's room but to my bad luck he wasn't there and another boy Vinay opened the door who gave me a real tough time. I was literally shivering when thankfully Daarji arrived and I noticed the boy quickly sneaked into the room pretending to sleep.

Daarji asked me the matter and although I was craving to complain but felt it childish. I could handle a bunch after all. I told him I misplaced my luggage and he offered me a pair of his kurta pajama and I was thankful to him. He let me rest with him in his room as well but I didn't want him to take the floor. I told him the kids were waiting for me and went back to sleep on the corridor.

But I wasn't going to let this slip away so easily. So next day morning I switched the boys shampoos with hair dye and boys being boys never noticed until their hair colors started changing. I was smirking and helping Daarji with the chandelier arrangements as he went out to talk to the caterer when I heard them screaming one after other. Mission successful.
