Chapter 6 - Going To Be Homeless Soon

Koby's father was waiting for him as soon he heard he came back . Aarav was Koby's father. He was as his name means a thoughtful and a spiritual person. He was the rock in the family. Although he didn't earn much but his ability to guide his family in tough times is praiseworthy. He right now was standing in front of Koby."Rudra you know by escaping and not returning made us extremely worried.Your mother has not eaten properly since the day she found you were missing."His wife's name was Maya. She was a woman who exuded femininity. She is a very beautiful woman but these 2 months had taken a hit on her health.Thus currently she looked sickly. She was constantly worried over many things which led to an increasing anxious behaviour pattern.

Mrs. Maya was depressed these days so much she didn't even notice her son had came and she was still worrying about his well being.She was laying in her bed and right now she didn't want to do anything else because of her worries.She knew she had to get her act together because if she fell down then who would support her husband in shouldering this immense pressure of the household in these crucial times .She was in deep thought and her lifeless eyes started moistening when she saw her son chatting with his father. She looked at him with moist eyes .She felt she had lost her lost her son. She stood there for some time then she realized Rudra had changed immensely in his physique and how he carried himself in general. She knew whatever be the change since he returned it will be alright.

Koby on the other hand felt overwhelmed with emotions as he saw genuine love and affection of his family.He had always wanted a family.Although his caretaker loved him but that could not eventually compensate the void in his heart. He felt choked with emotions so much so that tears came into his eyes. He really envied people like Rudra who had family and friends and now had inherited all those.He made a solemn promise that he will never disappoint his loved ones and decided to take the name of Rudra from now onward. This had two significance first his name came from his current family and secondly Rudra also was personification of terror and he decided today that anyone who hurt his loved ones they will face things worse than death.

Rudra was contemplating his future actions when suddenly some slammed open the door to his room. He was Rudra's best friend Rishi. Rishi was someone whom Rudra trusted wholeheartedly.Today Rishi looked somewhat sad .He told "Where have you been these few days?Your mother kept asking me about whereabouts.I didn't knew so i couldn't help". He was angry that how could his friend not bother to inform him and be so irresponsible. Rudra felt his former self really had many people who cared about him.He was so moved by the love and care he was recieving that he other than his meet with Shiva he told everything what had happened.

Rishi patiently listened to Rudra after fuming for a while. He was suprised that he survived such ordeals and overcame such a ferocious tiger spirit. Now that he looked at his friend indeed changed drastically compared to before. He was fuming so he didn't notice but indeed his way of talking and his whole being exuded control. It's like even in worst possible outcomes he will not be powerless.Having thought it through he mustered up courage he said "Rudra your family will be homeless soon".

Rudra was in emotional turmoil when heard it but he remembered Shiva's teachings and kept his composure and asked" How do you know that?" He replied "I know that because the state of Harrapa has issued a notice with the Dravida kingdom's emblem on it. Your families name has been attached to the list circulating with it". Rudra thought of something bid him goodbye and immediately went to meet his parents.

The whole family had gathered in the main hall and tension was in the air. In the heat of the moment adi tugged his father's sleeves and asked" Father where we will go?" Aarav told "Son do you think we are poor so we are powerless?" Adi raised his head and looked at his dad. Although they were poor but it didn't translate into powerlessness he looked into his dad's eyes and asked " In front of the kingdom what we poor people can do?" Even Alu and Rudra looked at their dad at their dad with expectations. He answered " TO PROTEST!!"
