"Insanity is often the logic of an accurate overtasked mind"- Bhawan Sharma.
In the Mansion of Sharma family:-
In the dining room:-
Abhiram took kalyani to another corner of the dining room, where there was the secret of the bare windows and doors. After reaching there , kalyani became bewildered by watching the actions of Yuvanav, Bhawan and Nabhanyu. Yuvanav and Bhawan had wore the curtains like dhoti and shawl, where as Nabhanyu had wore the curtains like saree. Bhawan was wresting Nabhanyu's hands, he was trying to get rid of the tight grip of Bhawan; crying and shouting and Yuvanav was doing jogging on the opposite side.
Bhawan:- Ha! Ha! Ha! Now what will you do? I shall take you with me. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Nabhanyu (In a dramatically effeminate tone) :- No, you can't do this! You can't take me with you! My husband! Where are you? My heart, my life!
Bhawan:- None will save you now, beautiful!
Nabhanyu (In a dramatically effeminate tone) :- No, I can't go with you with you. Leave me, leave me!
Yuvanav:- My wife! I am coming to save you!
Bhawan:- Ha! Ha! Ha! I am invincible! Your husband can't kill me! One second! My dhoti is slipping from my waist. Let me wear it properly.
After wearing the dhoti properly, they again started practicing the same thing.
Bhawan:- I shall make you my wife and queen of Lanka. Don't worry! You will be very happy.
Nabhanyu (In a dramatically effeminate tone) :- No! No! No! I can't! Husband, where are you? Please save me! One minute! Bhaiya, my saree is slipping from my shoulder again and again. I can't handle it.
Yuvanav:- wait! Let me do it, Nabhanyu.
After arranging the saree of Nabhanyu, they started their practice again. Abhiram and kalyani could not control their laughter and started laughing nonstoply. All the three kids noticed that their mother and brother were laughing by looking at them. But they didn't concentrate on them and continued the practice. Kalyani somehow controlled her laughter and went to the kitchen to call kavya.
Kalyani:- Kavya! Just come with me.
Kavya:- What happened, didi? You are looking very happy!
Kalyani:- Don't ask so many questions. Just come with me. I want to show you something!
Kavya:- Okay. As you wish!
Both of them went to the dining room. Kavya was Guffawing by observing their craziness.
Kavya:- Didi, what are they doing?
Kalyani (smiles):- Till now, I also could not understand anything.
Abhiram:- Actually, they are practicing a drama on the epic Ramayana; the part of kidnapping Devi Sita. Yuvanav bhaiya has become Lord Rama, Bhawan bhaiya has become demon king Ravaana and Nabhanyu has become Devi Sita.
Kavya and kalyani:- Oh my God! Like this?
After sometimes, they completed their practice and came in front of Kavya, Kalyani and Abhiram.
Yuvanav:- What happened? Maa, chhoti maa and Ram, why are you all laughing?
Bhawan:- Yes bhaiya, I have also noticed that. Why are you all laughing as if we are clowns. Don't you know that we are practicing a drama to perform it on Arjun's birthday party.
Nabhanyu:- Exactly so. We are doing this much hardships and you all are laughing! This is not fair! And Ram, you too! What are you going to do on Arjun bhaiya's birthday? Have you decided anything?
Abhiram:- No Nabhanyu. I have not decided yet. I am seriously not getting any ideas or plans to execute. If you have any, please share it with me.
Nabhanyu:- What I? I really don't have any plans in my mind. This Ramayana was Bhawan bhaiya's idea.
Kalyani:- Can we give you some idea? Do you need our help?
All the kids:- Absolutely. Please help us.
Kavya:- But you have to do exactly what ever we shall tell you. Will you follow that?
All the kids:- We will surely follow that.
Kavya and kalyani assembled all the kids and whispered something in their ears. They became extremely cheerful by hearing that plan and went inside to execute it.
In the afternoon:-
The sun was absolutely ready to touch the Horizon. The nature became heavenly beautiful with the reddish orange rays of the setting sun. Trees, river, sky, clouds each and everything started adoring the sun more and more due to the separation for twelve hours. All the birds were returning to their nests.
Arjun also came back home from school. He entered into the outer gate of the house, with an ever smiling face. In the garden, he saw his father and uncle were busy in discussing something. He didn't want to disturb them; so, he decided to go inside. He was about to step inside the threshold, meanwhile Rajesh called him.
Rajesh:- Arjun! Arjun! Come here once, dear!
Arjun:- Yes papa, I am coming.
Arjun went into the garden, near the table where his father and uncle were sitting with the laptops, many important files, several documents and cups of coffee.
Rajesh:- Arjun! How was your day in the school?
Arjun:- It was very nice, papa. You know, today we had a surprise test. But I got full marks in it.
Rajesh (smilingly):- I know that our son is brilliant!
Arjun:- No papa, nothing like that. I just tried my best, that's it.
Rajendra:- Arjun! Your face is looking dry! Haven't you finished your tiffin in the school?
Arjun (bowing down his head):- Actually, I forgot.
Rajesh:- What! You forgot to have your tiffin! For the whole day, you haven't eaten anything! What type of carelessness is this, Arjun!
Arjun:- Papa, chacha; I am really sorry for that. I didn't intend to do it. Actually, during tiffin time, I was helping a boy to do his first aid. That's why, I have forgot. I am sorry.
Rajendra:- Why Arjun? What happened to him?
Arjun:- Actually, that boy was much younger than me. During the Tiffin time, he was playing in the school play ground. You know that our play ground had been cemented to avoid the mud in Monsoon. So, during his playing, he slipped out and fell on the concrete ground. His hands, knees, toes were severely injured and were bleeding. I and another boy of our class took him into the office room and first aided him. That's why, I forgot to have my tiffin. I am sorry!
Rajendra (with a proud smile):- Arjun, you are really an angel! People always talk about huge things, to achieve huge milestones of success to attain their favorable Tagment before their names without caring for others. But you have become an angel for that boy who was darlingly treated by you at his painful moment. You have proved that you are different from others by your small gesture of helping someone in their danger. May God bless my son!
Rajesh (smilingly):- Exactly so, Rajendra. Arjun! You must have heard people saying Swaggeringly, that they helped any particular person by going out of the way. This word 'help', will be uttered by everyone but none of them is going to help people in reality.
Arjun:- Papa, chacha! I think, we should help people as much as we can. You are absolutely right. I have also observed the same scenes in my school and even today also. None of the students came ahead to help that boy. These people desire to be renowned for helping someone. I don't know what type of Fraudulentness and Unctuousness is this!
Rajendra:- It is the bitter truth of life, more bitter than the Green Chiretta. Sanctimoniousness, deceitfulness and Twofacedness have become the unchanged habit for the society. Let it be, you just go inside and have some food, dear.
Arjun:- Okay chacha, so, I am taking my leave.
Rajesh:- Okay dear, go.
They smiled at each other and Arjun entered into the house. He was searching for his brothers but could not find them. He went upstairs inside his personal room, changed the school uniform, wore a simple shirt, washed his hands; legs and face, then he came down stairs to have food.
Kalyani:- Arjun! Come fast, otherwise the food will be cold. Come fast, dear.
Arjun:- Yes maa, I am coming.
Kavya:- Arjun, have you freshed up by washing your hands and legs?
Arjun:- Yes chhoti maa, I have already done those.
Kavya:- That's like a good boy!
Arjun sat down in the dining table but his eyes were still searching for his brothers. Kalyani and kavya noticed that.
Kalyani:- Arjun, are you searching for your brothers?
Arjun:- Yes maa, where are they?
Kavya:- You can't meet with them now. They are little bit busy.
Arjun (curiously):- How chhoti maa? All of them are busy at a time! How can this be possible?
Kalyani:- Actually they are preparing a surprise for you.
Arjun:- For me? What is the need of that?
Kavya:- But Arjun, they love you very much; they want to give you a surprise. So, you can't deny it.
