Chapter 18 - Reunion

 Laksh was finally happy and helped Janhavi to locate Jaivik's new house. When Janhavi saw him first, he had a fever. She then approached to his new family and asked them to leave Jaivik with her but they refused. They demanded at least the amount he was bought in. How could I ever pay this?

 "Alright then, will cheque work?"

 "Laksh! You don't need to do this."

 "I am not doing this as I have to, I am doing this as I want to."

 "Thank you!"

 "You don't need to thank me. I am your son, after all."

 "I am not your mother. Thank you again!"

 "I told you, that's not needed."

 Laksh paid the amount with joy and Jaivik and Janhavi decided to leave the next day. Jaivik decided to go to the market one last time to buy some vegetables. It was afternoon and due to some reason the streets didn't seemed quite busy as they used to. He was returning from market when he heard a loud thud. What could that be? It came from somewhere near. He looked towards the place. What a deserted street it was! Should I really go there? I mean, I read in an article that there are quite a few motorcycle gangs in this world, it seems the best place for a motorcycle gang to me! Somehow I know, I just have to go there, what's this feeling inside? On instince he went there. What he saw made him cry! It was Jeevan! He lyed unconscious! Jaivik placed his brother's head in his lap.

 "Wake up are you alright?" Jeevan heard this as soon as he had regained consciousness. The voice was familiar, it was Jaivik! His fever started dropping rapidly as soon as he saw Jaivik but the two didn't notice the fact.

 "Brother!" He called

 "Are you alright?"

 "Yeah!"

 They didn't speak anything, just cried and

cried. Then, they finally got up.

 "I have found sister too."

 "Let's hurry to see her!"

 "Yup!" Speaking this the two moved on to see their dear sister.

 Janhavi had one of the best surprise when she saw Jeevan. It felt like a dream, finally their reunion had taken place. The three hugged each other and started crying these tears were of joy, joy to see each other again. They felt fortunate to be a family.

 "Where did you meet?"

 Jaivik explained everything.

 "Now we can return home!"

 "Hurray!"

 "Finally!"

 "Wait we still don't know the location of temporary or permanent door!"

 "We can't return!"

 "Damn it!"

 "Or may be you can." Came a voice from behind!

 Someone familiar yet unexpected showed up. The prince of Angles! Kartavya!

 "Kartavya!" The three exclaimed with surprise

 "You have stayed here long enough!" He said

 "Are you gonna help us?"

 "Yeah, I am your ally after all."

 "Thanks, you're the best."

 "If you want to say anyone goodbye do so right now."

 "You are really the best!"

 Janhavi went to Laksh's bungalow and he was glad to see her. The two hugged each other.

 "Thanks for all you have done for me." She said with tears in her eyes

 "I shall thank you, mom."

 "I am not -"

 "Your mother." He said with a smile and eyes full of tears.

 "Please take care."

 "You too. Don't push yourself."

 "Okay!" And together they cried for a while

 Jaivik went towards his former home.

 "I am going back home."

 "Oh!" Said his former parents

 "I am sorry for all the trouble!" Said his former sister hugging him though it was for a short while but deep inside she had really accepted him as her brother and the reason she was mean to him was to show that she dislike him so, he could be released.

 "No, its okay." He said hugging her back

 "What a horrible sister I have been!"

 "You were fine! I hope you all will get along better."

 "Jaivik, my son you have taught us about not being selfish. You have opened our eyes. We will definitely get along better." Said the man

 "Bye!" Saying this the family cried together. They kept on apologizing to one another and kept thanking for everything.

 Jeevan roamed near cinemas, kept on looking at his posters.

 "Can you give me an autograph?" Asked a little girl.

 "Sure! What's your name?"

 "Siya."

 "Oh!" He gave her his autograph and moved on. Alexander Nicator! A poor actor! Who ran away from the hospital! To see his family! He thought is the same Jeevan who is beaten by his classmates. Who is from another world. Trapped in here! People bought me! Sold me! Made me an actor and now here I am going back home! Bye Alexander Nicator, I am no longer going to play your part as people are waiting for me to be Jeevan Bhardwaj!

 And finally they were ready to go back home. Kartavya came and they quietly followed him and he took them to the permanent door. Saying that he had to take his leave he snapped his fingers and disappeared into thin air. Jeevan quickly operated it and then came the light. Finally they were reunited to the place from where they belonged. As usual the time was same as that of their departure. The three told their part of story and talked as if they had met after a dozen years though they were technically together in their world! This adventure was quite different from all their previous once. And they finally trusted their ally Kartavya.
