Mr Chawla realized that situations were getting worst in the
orchard and that is why Mr Chawla requested his son to move to a proper heritage
so at least everyone would be safe. The monsoons were also going to arrive, he
needed a proper shelter. Getting upset with Sampath’s blank face Mr Chawla
ordered him to read the vedas (religious books) in order to communicate deeply
with the devotees and not say silly things.
Sampath argued with his father telling him that he was not
going to leave the tree. He had deep connections with the tree now, his father
never understood him. Sampath wanted to be alone and that is why he ran away
but his family followed him again. When it was time for dinner, he told his
mother that he was being forced to leave the tree and live in a hermitage. Even Kulfi was against it and jokingly gave the idea of poisoning them.
The drunken monkeys were back, this time they drank the
illicit liquor that an old women sells in bazar. As they came back to the orchard
they created more chaos then they ever did. They destroyed kulfi’s kitchen and
its items. She ran after them with a broom in her hand trying to shoo them away.
They even destroyed the Sampath’s umbrella. Luckily no one was hurt. The monkeys
made their way to the university research forest. They destroyed everything on
their way.
The next day Mr Chawla went to the town. Things were not
going as he planed it would. He was worried about the diseases these animals
carried. The old District Collector had left and the new one had not arrived
yet. That was the problem in a small place like Shakot, where no one bothers to give
any importance to it. Mr Chawla had decided he is going to meet the
other officials in order to maintain peace and happiness in Shahkot.
