Junagarh Palace
Ten contrite boys were standing in front of Raj and his extended family.
" Which one of you will start the explanation ", asked asked a strict Ram.
Aditya and Michael shared a look.
" I am not good at it", said Mahroof.
" I think brother we both better remain quiet", said Parvez.
" Ummm it was an accident ", said 5 year old Vasu.
" Yes advocate pundit ", said Ram sternly. " I was sure it will be you. I think you can explain . Please elaborate ".
" We were actually taking photographs", continued Vasu.
" Did you poke it with a stick", asked Ram looking at their fathers.
Raj coughed.
" This scene seems familiar ", whispered Solly.
" It won't end well for them", said Raj.
" But it's worth trying", interjected Maddy.
And Vasu was best at trying...
" We tried to take a video", he said. " Never poked them".
" You didn't go near them", Ram narrowed his eyes.
" Negative grandpa. We didn't go near them", said Aditya. " I swear"..
" They just threw stones at them", said Misha as she smirked.
" Thanks", said Aditya with clipped anger.
" Anytime your highness", she smirked.
" Grandpa", said Bhaskar; Rahul's son. 5 years.
" Yes you continue ", said Ram.
" We never thought they would enter the school. Since it was video we need we needed them to move".
" He inherited my brother's genes", whispered Rahul to Vinita.
" No Aditya just trained him well", she smiled.
" Yeah they were just lying there", said Sundar ; Duleep's son 5 years.
" And so just these small pebbles", said Vasu making a hand gesture.
" A girl in my class fainted", said Jhanvi. " We all were so scared".
" Make sure they get beaten", whispered Minaz to Aarushi.
Michael looked pointedly at Jhanvi. She made a face at him.
" Probably the scorpions lost their way", said Kushal Rakesh's son.
Vasu and Michael looked at him like he grew another head.
" That seals their punishment ", chuckled Ro.
Ram was furious.
" I am sorry your highness. We will provide them with maps next time", he said angrily.
" Accept it", said 8 year old Mini; Prakhar's daughter.
" But sister we didn't mean harm", her younger brother Sumeet( 5 years)spoke..
"Michael you are the eldest", admonished Grace. " Why did you... "?
" MAKE NO MISTAKE ", boomed Ram's voice. " Michael may be eldest but this one here", he pointed to Aditya. " He is the leader".
" Why the talk? I want to see his ass beaten", sulked Jhanvi.
" Grandpa we meant well", started Aditya
" Like you meant well when you detonated those explosives in store", said Rahul. " Your genes definitely", he said to Raj.
Raj shrugged.
" They were meant for checking", argued Vasu.
" And so you did it", Kiara was losing patience. " Without protocols and safety".
" We thought they were firecrackers ", Aditya made a face.
" They sure made a spectacle", smiled Mahroof. " Big noise too".
" You keep your mouth shut", said Aditya.
" I guess we need to run", whispered Parvez.
" Aunty should just hit him", said Minaz.
At that moment
" Umm your. Majesty", a servant arrived.
" Yes", said Raj praying for an official matter to end this ordeal.
NO SUCH LUCK
" Someone left the horses open and they grazed the vegetable and flower garden.
" WHAT"? A collective gasp came from the room.
" I saw him with Brazen this morning ", complained Jhanvi pointing to Aditya
Brazen was Falcon's foal.
" My roses I got from London ", exclaimed Diana.
The servant merely shook his head.
" Aditya destroyed grandma's roses", chirped Lovey Dovey.
" They need punishment ", said Ram.
" Damn the punishment I need to hit them", screamed Diana as she picked up her cane.
"TIME TO RUN", bellowed Mahroof as the ten of them broke into a sprint.
Misha made Aditya fall and Jhanvi did with Michael. Aarushi pushed Vasu and Minaz got Mahroof caught. Diana picked her cane and started hitting the boys.
" Roll the camera", said Misha clearly the girl's leader.
Aarushi produced a camera and started taking videos.
" Ohh damn", said Ritesh as Diana landed him one.
" This is going to be our school's best video feature", said an ectastic Jhanvi.
" Do something ", Kenny pleaded to Raj.
" Grandma", he just held Diana. " Not good for your health", he said.
" Boys run", said Parry.
" Adi, Mars move", said Michael.
" You will pay for it", Aditya threatened Misha.
" Take a detour", she laughed.
" Adi fast", said Vasu.
The boys ran for their life.
" Grandma calm down", Raj held Diana.
" You need to be spanked too", she said angrily as she hit him with her cane.
" Uh ohh", said Aarushi.
" Keep the camera rolling", said Kiara as she took it from Aarushi's hands.
" Yup I am selling the videos to highest bidding media house", said Myra.
" Grandma what did I do", asked Raj.
" You produced that Devil", she pointed to Aditya.
" Dad run", said the boy.
And Raj and his friends broke into a sprint.
" GET MY GOLF CART", screamed Diana.
" This palace should be renamed Chaos", said Kenny.
" Your son isn't even half of what his father was", smirked Rahul.
" But it's fun", said Vinita.
" This is wonderful ", said Jhanvi looking at Diana beating Aditya in video.
The girls high fived.
Meanwhile
All the boys plus five men were now near Neem tree with Diana following them on a golf car with her cane.
" Told ya he is a monkey ", pointed Myra as Parry was first to climb the tree.
" Hurry up", he said to the boys.
Kenny had replanted this Neem tree. Jennifer's wish came true. The tree came alive everytime they were around it. It was now full of life. The boys played under it and over it. The girls attached swings on it. They sang songs, chased each other, played and even slept under it. It was their favorite picnic spot. Raj and Kenny also stole a few private moments under it.
" You are shameless your majesty", she would whisper when he would kiss all over her under the tree.
" Guilty", he would smile s*ductively. " Trying to work on that dozen. Now why are we talking "?
And she would be lost in him.
Present
" Grandma sorry ", said Raj.
" You get your as* down along with that spawn you produced", she said.
" Great grandma sorry", tried Aditya.
By now girls have reached the tree.
" Great Grandma use a bigger stick", suggested Aarushi.
" Okay enough ", said Raj as he climbed down and hugged Diana.
" I'll get your roses grandma. Please let it go", he said.
Diana though angry agreed finally.
Finally everyone sat down to eat.
Kenny breathed a sigh of relief. Raj hugged her. She snuggled safely in his arms.
" In my devil's arms", she whispered.
" Your devil", he said lovingly.
" Finally we got some peace", she said.
" Don't buy it", he was saying.
Suddenly....
" Owwwwwww"
A girl screamed.
" WHAT? WHO"? Kenny was a bit disoriented.
" Lizard my God"!
It was Misha holding a live lizard.
" Cockroaches ", screamed Aaarushi.
The girls were sitting separately under a parsol for tea party.
Their bags were now full of bugs.
" Oh cr*p", cried Jhanvi. She almost vomitted.
And they ran amok.
" Get the camera rolling", laughed Aditya.
" YOU BRAT", screamed Misha.
* Anytime princess. Take a detour", he said. The boys started the teasing now. And the girls went on hitting them...
" This is fun", said Grace.
" And chaos", said Kenny.
And they lived chaotically ever after...
