STORY..
Shivaay and Omkara were sitting with their drawing books. Shivaay was scratching his crayons over his paper while Omkara was coloring with apt concentration. Baby Rudra was sitting on the bed playing with his stuffed dinosaur. The Senior Oberois had gone on a temple visit since Shivaay had got a coughing fit and Omkara had a slight fever. They had hired a Nanny to take care of the kids lest they made a fit. All of a sudden, Shivaay scrunched up his nose in disgust.
Shivaay : Ewww.. What's that ?
Om : Why, what happened ?
Shivaay : That smell.. It stinks.
Om (sniffling) : Yuck.. Yes.. It stinks. What is it !!
Both the brothers stood up and started searching for the source of this life-threatening smell. They went near Baby Rudra who had dropped his dinosaur on the floor. He started throwing a baby tantrum. Shivaay wordlessly picked up the dinosaur and handed it back to his baby brother who smiled happily again as he had gotten his toy back. As Shivaay bent up from Rudra, he got the same smell again.. His brother was stinking.
Shivaay : Om !! Its Rudra.. He's stinking
Om : What nonsense Shivaay !
Shivaay : No Om. Look.
He pulled Om down to near Rudra who was busy playing with his toy. Om scrunched up his nose and held a hand over it.
Om : Yuck.. Its coming from his diaper. Quick. Go and call Nanny.
Shivaay : Ok.
Shivaay went down leaving Om to the disaster of the moment. After few minutes, Shivaay came up without the nanny..
Om : Shivaay, where is Nanny ?
Shivaay : I tried to wake her up, but she didn't. She fell asleep and you know how she is when she dozes off.
Om : Oh gracious. Now its up to us to change his diaper.
They made Baby sleep on the bed and Shivaay tried to touch the diaper..
Shivvay : Ewww.. This thing stinks.. Why did you have to do this, Baby ?
Rudra : Gurgle Gurgle
Om : What do you expect, Shivaay ? Its human tendency.
Shivaay : He could have asked to be taken to the loo. We would have taken him.
Om : You abmysal thickhead. He's a toothless baby. He can't talk.
Shivaay : Oh sorry. I forgot.
They both turned to look at Rudra who was now looking at them with those big, black innocecnt eyes of his, thumb finger in mouth. His tiny legs were moving against each other.
Shivaay : How do we do these things ? How do we entangle this thing from his body ?
Om : Oh wait. I have a book for it.
Shivaay : Whaatt !! You actually have a book for it ?
Om : Why yes ofcourse I do Shivaay. Why do you have authors to write books like these ? Seriously, improve ur GK Shivaay.
Shivaay : For what ?? Why do I need to learn how to change these ickly things ?
Om : For your future, Dunderhead.
Shivaay : But why ?
Om : When you have a baby, you will need to learn all these things
Shivaay : But why will I have a baby ? Babies sprout from plants.I am not gonna grow any plants so no trouble.
Om : Fhat the whack !! What are you saying ? 😕
Shivaay : Babies grow from plants
Om : Who told you babies grow from plants ?
Shivaay : TV..
Om : TV ?? 😕
Shivaay : Yes. Thumbelina movie. A baby grows from a plant and she calls the woman in who garden she was born her mother.
Om : 🤢 🤢
Shivaay : I got it from there.
Om : Tell me again Shivaay. How are you ever first in you classes ?
Shivaay : That's called business, Om 😎
Om : When will that pea-sized brain ever understand that not everything is about business. Don't you ever know about normal Biology ?
Shivaay : What ??
Om : Leave that. Its advanced topic. Physics and Chemistry atleast ?
Shivaay : Ehh.. 😕
Om : Urgh !!!!!! 😡 What are you ?
Shivaay : A human being 😃
Their argument was interrupted by an angry cry. They turned to see Rudra fidget around on the bed. Apparantly he had decided that he wasn't getting enough attention from his brothers and decided to throw a tantrum. He whined and started wailing, tears streaming down his cute face.
Shivaay : Om, what do we do ?
Om : We need to make him quiet. Only then we can remove the diaper off of him.
Shivaay : Ok. I'll try to make him quiet.
Shivaay lifted Baby in his arms and tried comforting him. He made funny sounds that might help soothe him while Om stealthily came from behind and started unwrapping the stinky diaper. Rudra, happy that he had got the attention back to him gurgles in Shivaay's arms smiling toothlessly at his older brother. Shivaay's heart melted and filled with such love that he held Baby close to his heart pulling Om towards him in that process. Totally engrossed in the moment, Shivaay started rocking Baby back an forth rocking Om in the process. Poor Om, one hand inside his diaper and the other hand flapping like a hen and face making weird expressions, he too started swaying back and forth matching Shivaay's rhythm. Om tried to sign Shivaay to stop but he had his eyes closed. Not finding any other go, he removed the diaper off Rudra and flung it on Shivaay. On weent the diaper straight onto Shivaay's face breaking him out of his stance. Om quickly pulled Rudra away and held him to his chest rocking him slightly while Shivaay did the tribal dance with the diaper on his face and hands flapping like a wingless chicken. Rudra started laughing in his baby voice startling Omkara who held him close. Shivaay took the diaper off his face with a gingerly hand and threw it on the floor..
Shivaay : You. Threw. The. Diaper. ON MY FACE !!!
Om : Yes I did.
Shivaay : Why !!!
Om : Well because you were so engrossed in the love of Baby that you forgot I was there with my hand inside the diaper trying to remove it.
Shivaay : You could have signalled me.
Om : Oh I did. But you were so engrossed in rocking with perfect rhythm that I had no other option.
Both stared at each other for quite sometime until Baby started whining again. Omkara put Rudra on the plastic sheet on the bed.
Shivaay : Why are you putting Baby on the plastic sheet ? It will hurt his soft skin.
Om : Oh shut up Shivaay. While changing a diaper, the baby must be placed on a plastic sheet so that the stink doesn't catch the sheets. Now hand me the diaper.
Shivaay : Where do I find those things ?
Om : Check the baby bag. It must be there.
Shivaay rushed to the baby bag and searched for a diaper.
Shivaay : What's it called ?
Om : You don't know what a diaper is called ?
Shivaay : I am not a mother nor a doctor to know all this.
Om : Check for something like Huggies or Pampers or Mamy Poko Panta.
Having found it, he rushed to Om and wordlessly handed it over. Om opened the book and read through few lines. He opened the diaper and tried to put it on Baby. But Baby had other plans. He hated wearing diaper as they made his soft bum scratchy. Without them was a bliss for him so he kicked his little legs and waved his hands furiously not wanting to wear the diaper.
Om : Help me.
Shivaay : What do I do ?
Om : Try to distract him while I try and get him into the diaper.
Shivaay : How ?
Om : Do something before I throw something else
Shivaay : OK ok.. I will I will.. Just keep your fielding skills off any part of my body.
He tried to distract Baby who was clearly not buying Shivaay's entertainment. He still kept kicking his legs and swishing his hands and ended up hitting both Shivaay and Om in the jaw. Atlast, Om had had enough. He lifted Baby, sat on the bed, put Baby on his lap and then the diaper over his bum. Baby's cries only got louder. Shivaay finding no other alternative, took the feeding bottle and stuffed it inside Baby's mouth quieting Baby and earning a shreik from Om..
Om : Shivaay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shivaay : What !! There was no other alternative. And look. He has gone quiet..
And indeed he had. Baby Rudra was happily sipping on his milk while Shivaay held the bottle. Om let out a tired sigh while Shivaay smiled weakly. Once Baby was full, he kicked the bottle away with his fat little arms and turned to neslte against Om's chest. Om stood up and rocked Baby slightly for sometime until Shivaay took Baby in his arms and rocked him slowly as Baby fell asleep. Removing the plastic sheet, Shivaay placed Baby Rudra on the bed and got into bed beside him. Om got in too and fell asleep in a instant. Shivaay smiled at both his brothers. He had the best brothers in the world. With a proud smile, he fell asleep. In the evening, when the Senior Oberois came, they were met by this very cute little sight 😳
