PART-57

Lavanya,Kailash Nath and his pupil looked on nonplussed as buaji and the raizadas exchanged pleasantries.

Soon,buaji excused herself as she needed to rush home and so after thanking a flabbergasted and panic-stricken Kailash Nath profusely,she left with an extremely edgy lavanya who managed to give a reassuring and encouraging thumbs up to her compatriots inconspicuously.

‘’Baba ji pranam!’’Anjali,Nani and Mami greeted Kailash nath with folded hands and latter reciprocated the same immediately.

‘’Baba ji,we brought this for you.Please accept this humble present.’’Anjali  extended a basket of fruits  and other eateries.

‘’Thank you my child.Please give this to my pupil,Ramdas.’’Kailash nath murmured,not knowing quite what to say.

Ramdas,who had been standing all the while like a statue,finally moved,praying hard that nothing should go wrong.In his fettered state,he didn’t notice that when he extended his hands to take the basket,his watch got entangled in the grey locks of Kailash Nath!

His retraction was followed by a loud gasp from the three ladies as well as Kailash nath.Apparently,the wig had gotten removed from Kailash nath’s head showing his jet black hair.

The silence that followed was utterly charged until the penny dropped on the three ladies all at once and they launched into action.

Before Kailash nath and Ramdas could gather their bearings,Mamiji,Naniji and Anjali attacked them, spanking the dup with their bags and hands!

‘’You cheating scum!How dare you play with the feelings of people!’’Anjali shrieked,giving a black eye to Kailash nath with a powerful punch.

‘’You lowlives,how could you dupe people who revere you?’’Nani slapped Ramdas on his cheek.

Ramdas somehow disentangled himself from the chaotic mess and ran helter-skelter for his life in the adjoining room followed by a screeching Mamiji!

‘’Hello Hi Bye Bye!How darej you tried to cool Manorma Mami,haan?’’Mami screamed catching Ramdas by the scruff of his long cloak and spanking him hard.

‘’Ouch Maa,that hurts and by the way,its fool not cool!’’Ramdas yelled,buckling over in pain.

Mamiji froze on the spot,hearing her son’s voice.She immediately caught hold of the bushy moustache on Ramdas’s face and pulled it.

‘’Ah!’’Akash winced in pain,cupping  his cheeks.

‘’Akash!’’Mamiji stood agape,utterly at a loss.

Akash,on hearing his mother’s shriek caught up with his surroundings and gazed for a split second in utter chagrin at his mom’s shocked face before bolting for it.He raced in the living room where his di and grandmother were still punching Aman and somehow saved his friend from the onslaught.

‘’Akash!’’Naniji and Anjali screamed aghast as they saw Akash supporting a bandy-legged, Aman out of the room.

‘’Run!’’He yelled,dropping the keys of the flat at the threshold and rushing out,leaving thunderstruck family in his wake!

‘’Please,calm down mamiji!I’m sure there must be something big going on!Akash will surely explain everything.Don’t get so worked up!’’Anjali tried to placate a hysterical Manorma futilely.

‘’Manorma,Akash is very mature!You’re mistaken!You are simply blowing this out of proportion!’’ Naniji  too tried to reason out.

‘’No Sasuma!How could I calm down?Akash is my only son!I’ll call Arnav bituwa.He’ll tell me what’s going on!’’Mamiji determinedly whipped out her cell and before anyone could stop her dialled ASR’S number,filling him up with everything.

She calmed a bit hearing ASR’s reassurance and snapped the phone shut after a while,soothed which was just the stark opposite of Naniji and Anjali’s tumult who had a hunch that Akash,Aman and others who were involved with them were in great trouble.

They had to face the wrath of A.C.P. Arnav Singh Raizada!
