Early morning hustle bustle in his room made yash open his droopy eyes.After that dreadful"global warming"attack in his stomach,aarti had brought him to his bedroom which saved both of them form buaji's wrath.As sleep left his system,he saw aarti ji giving some instructions to two people near the door."What is happening aarti ji???he asked rubbing his eyes.
"Mummy ji is shifting a portable water tank in our room.."she replied making way for two workers with water tank being lifted in their hands.
"What's that for??" he asked in confusion.
"For curing your global warming attacks.."She replied turning towards yash now.
"What???"Yash shrieked sitting attentively on bed now.
"Don't yell yash ji..Mummy ji will think you are having another attack now.."She pleaded.
"But what is going on aarti ji???How come this water tank can cure me??? and what about maa???" Yash was flabbergasted.
"Yash ji..mummy ji was here near around 2 pm last night..You were enjoying your sound sleep when she knocked.As I opened the door,She did not let me speak a single word..She caught my hand and started dragging me towards the temple...
Flashback...{Initially in black&white,resumes colors later on}
They reached near the temple and Gayatri left aarti's hand with a jerk as she stared at her with big, round and red eyes..
"Tell me aarti bahu,why did you do this to my yash???"She barked.
"What did I do mummy ji??"Aarti asked in a meek voice as her heart cursed gayatri for disturbing her sleep.
"Like you don't know..Don't try to lie aarti,you are standing at God's place.."
"I am not telling a lie mummy ji,I really don't know what are you accusing me for?? "Aarti defended herself.
"This gilobal harming aarti,swear on God and say you are not responsible for this.."
"No mummy ji..I have not done anything..I have not given yashji something wrong to eat.."
"Shut up aarti bahu,I know its not because of food, I personally cross check every edible thing that you give to my son.."
"Then how can I be responsible for his disease mummy ji??"
"Because I know,its not a simple disease..Its "that" kind of disease" Gayatri said averting her gaze.
"What kind of disease ,mummy ji???"aarti was completely clueless.
"Don't try to be over smart aarti..you are twice married..don't you know about what kind of disease a man can get from woman he sleeps with??"
"you mean STD{sexually transmitted disease}"Aarti said as realization of gayatri's words dawned on her.She was speechless for a while..
"Tell me aarti,why did you do this to him..why???"gayatri said sobbing loudly.
"No mummy ji..you are getting it completely wrong,,,Its not that kind of disease..Make me swear on any thing but i am not telling a lie.."
"You are telling me the truth.aarti??" gayatri said with a ray of hope in her eyes.
"Yes mummy ji..Its simple disease like flu and common cold..nothing serious,..and i have already consulted with a Ayurvedic doctor for it.."
"Why ayurvedic,Is not there any cure possible in allopathy??"gayatri asked in a worried voice.
"No muumy ji..It can be cured with ayurveda only and cure is also very simple.All yash ji has to do is to consume alot of liquid whole day..I mean water,fruit juices etc etc"aarti explained.
"Ohk..you have to make him drink as much water as possible otherwise you know i won't take a single minute to throw you out from this house..."Gayatri said leaving behind a baffled aarti as she planned to shift a water tank to their room...
flashback ends,,
"Oh my god..."Yash exclaimed holding his head in his hands..
"Ma'am,we have shifted the tank.."One of the worker said to aarti.
"Ohk..you may go now.."Aarti instructed.
"Thanks to your global warming attack yash ji otherwise bua ji would have killed me.."Aarti told yash after workers left the room.
"Some times you behave like an idiot...aarti ji..You were about to tell buaji what "vixen"means.. if you have not done so,i might have saved from this global warming thing.."Yash said in a little frustrated tone..
Before aarti could say something,buaji and gayatri entered. Gayatri was holding a tray with dozen glasses of "orange" juice..
"Yash beta,you had some water???" gayatri asked in a worried tone as buaji looked at aarti with threatening eyes..
"Yes maa,i have already drunk one full jug.."yash answered like a obedient student.
"Thats like my "raja beta"..now you have to drink all twelve glasses of orange juice too.."gayatri said caressing his cheek..
Saying this she gave first glass to yash..
"Aarti you come with me till yash finishes all the glasses.."Buaji said,taking aarti with her out of the room.
Fifteen odd minutes passed but aarti did not return to room. Yash was continuously gulping glass after glass as his stomach ranted to stop this "flood of juice.."
"Enough maa..I can't drink more.."Yash pleaded..
"No beta..you have to drink..Its all for your own good..drink more no..look there are only two left.." Gayatri pacified him.
He felt juice coming back to his throat from stomach,when aarti entered in room with a worried face.
"Maa,aarti ji is here now..I promise she will make me drink rest juice after a while..please i can't drink it now.."Yash literally begged this time..
"aarti..Make sure he drinks rest of juice with in next half an hour..I am going to kitchen to prepare some fresh "vegetable" juice.."Gayatri ordered before leaving the room..
"Yash ji..there is big problem..Buaji has put another condition..She said that she has a "thing" for punjabi boys and now she wanted us to find some " gabru buzurg{old man}" for him.."Aarti told yash in one breath..
"gabru buzurg"???Is not punjabi handsome boy called "gabru jawan"???yash asked aarti holding his stomach as his hands itched to loosen his track pants..
"yes yash ji but all gabru jawans belong to age below thirty..Gabru bujurg is a term invented by her for the punjabi men above fifty.."aarti explained.."Where will we find such punjabi old man for her yash ji,that too in next twelve hours otherwise she won't take a minute to post some "special love letter" to my father.."Aarti was hell worried.
" I will tell you aarti ji..give me a minute first.."Saying this yash ran towards toilet to ease the pressure built by his kidneys..
