Chapter 05- https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/153067702

Okay, so I was just bored sitting in my room. Felt like writing something and wrote this khichdi... To me, it made absolutely zero sense. But still, I posted this here...

This was originally written as a separate OS but I thought to include it here...

Don't kill me for this one please...

Chapter - 06 (Last Chapter)

Finally, their running around the room ended and they both sat down. Pia got up and was about to leave when Ansh stopped her...

"Where are you going now?"

"To check on the kids." Pia replied. "They must have stopped doing their homework and must be fooling around. I need to check on them. You take some rest."

"Ummm Pia..."

Pia stopped and turned around.

"I am hungry..." he said, looking at her sheepishly.

"Well, you would be. After all, you have been sleeping since morning." She said, giggling. "Just wait for a few minutes. I'll bring you something to eat."

Saying this, she left the room and returned after some time with a tray of food. Then she left him with it and went to check on the kids.

Ansh sat on the bed more comfortably, resting his back on the headboard. Putting the tray of food in front of him, he picked up the knife and fork and was about to begin eating when...

"Hello Mr. Rathod..."

He turned his head on hearing a familiar voice. His alter-ego was sitting next to him with a huge grin plastered on his face.

"Oh it's you... I was actually wondering why didn't you appear till now..."

His alter-ego raised one eyebrow and then said,"From which direction did the sun rise today?"

"Huh?" Ansh was confused.

"Well, I have come to meet you for the third time and this is the first time that you are greeting me so normally without getting annoyed. So, it's a miracle indeed!!"

And that was indeed true. For the first time, Ansh was not annoyed at his sudden appearance. In fact, he was actually smiling at him...

"Ah wait... Let me guess. You are flashing your 32 teeth because you are back to your own world??"

"Of course!! Why else would I be so happy?" Ansh said. "Everything is fine now... That was all a dream. Nothing was real. I am so happy that everything is normal."

His smile got wider and tears brimmed in his eyes remembering the conversation he had with Pia not long ago.

"Hey you!! Why are you crying now? Were you some Nirupa Roy fan in your previous birth or what? Shedding tears all the time..."

"I am not crying... They are just the tears of happiness."

"Seriously... Tears of happiness? I thought people smile and laugh when they are happy. Till date, I never understood why they cry when they are happy."

He paused for a few moments and then again continued...

"Remember that nursery rhyme: 'If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands'?" He got up from the bed. "In your case it should have been: 'If you are happy and you know it, shed some tears'."

He started singing...

"If you are happy and you know it, shed some tears"

"If you are happy and you know it, shed some tears"

If you are happy and you know it and you really want to show it, shed some tears."

He came and sat besides Ansh...

"What an amazing voice do you have!!" Said Ansh. "Listening to you is like hearing fingernails on a chalkboard."

"Oh thank you so much..." Said his alter-ego cheerfully.

"I was not complimenting you."

"No problem... I'll still take it as a compliment."

"Anyways... Why did you come here again?"

"Well, first of all, I came to congratulate you that everything is back to normal. And second..."

"Second?"

"Well, I heard you telling Pia that Naman was an even bigger creep in the other world..."

Before he could complete his sentence, Ansh spoke up,"Well, I just said that to bring a smile on Pia's face."

"Well, I don't care about that. Whether you said it as a joke or not is none of my business." He shrugged his shoulders. "But your words definitely made me think."

"And what did you think??" Asked Ansh, irritated.

"Well, you just said that Naman was an even bigger creep. But do you have any idea how your family or your ex-wife Ruby are in the other dimension?"

"Means?"

"Means... Here, you have the most loving and caring mother in the world. But what about the other dimension? What if she would have been a total vamp-ish step mother? Like Lalita Pawar from those 70's and 80's movies? You did not come across her, right? So, you can't say for sure that she would have been exactly how she is here, right?"

Ansh stared at him...

"Ah that reminded me of your narakwasi ex-sasurji... Since everyone was a normal human in that dimension, then he also should have been a human. No?"

"So... What?"

"So... Since he was a demon king here, he could be a similar person there too? What if he were some underworld don or mafia?"

Ansh kept on staring at him, not speaking a word...

"Now tell me, who would be needing help? You or Pia??"

By now, Ansh was totally annoyed...

"So, this is the second reason why you came here... To annoy me!!"

"Of course sweety!!" He said in a sweet voice. "Why else would I come here? I can't sleep without having a chat with you... You know?" He replied with a wink.

Ansh was staring at him with a frown on his face while cutting his food with the knife.

His alter-ego's face suddenly broke into a smile...

"What??" Ansh asked his alter-ego when the latter didn't stop smiling for some time.

"Unique taste buds..." He replied sarcastically.

Ansh looked down and saw that he had spilled the ketchup on the napkin and was trying to cut it with his knife.

"Do tell me how it tastes..." Were the last words which he said before disappearing again.

Ansh turned around and not finding his alter-ego there, resumed his food in silence.

Finally, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, waiting for Pia to come back so that they could break the news to their families and celebrate it together...
