Ashwin (Ashu) is a 17 year old
teenager. His dad is a millionaire. He gets anything at his finger tips at anytime.
They live in a mansion and he has his own personal caretaker Tom to look after
him. He is a very curious, ardent and a typical egghead. He completely nails
all the science fairs. He is so obsessed with aeronautics. He has his own lab
and a library with over hundreds of books.
Ashu is short with bouncy hair
covering his entire forehead and fair complexion.
One day in his lab, ashu was
trying to come up with the concept of invisibility cloak using prisms but
failed and broke the prisms. Sometimes he lit up the curtains and sometimes he
create floods in his lab. Tom always look after ashu, whatever ashu asks, he
provides him in a minute. Tom never have any expressions on his face, he always
carry only one expression which is neither happy nor sad. The next day, ashu
created colourful spots in the aquarium with the concept of 3-D screens using
colloidal solutions. He had many flying things in his room. He attach wings and
make things fly using a remote controller.
They had their own helicopter.
Ashu's dad knows his obsession with aircraft and always keep him away from the
helicopter.
Few days later, when ashu's dad
was out of the town, he silently hopped into the helicopter. Tom also entered and sat
silently. Tom never stops him from doing anything.
Ashu was checking and pressing
the switches, suddenly the helicopter jerked back and unknowingly he pressed
the start button. Tom, with the same expression on his face silently put on the
seat belt. Ashu somehow managed to drive and handle it, but he don't know how
to stop and how to land it. They travelled so far, they are running out of fuel
and somehow he tried to get it close to the ground. But Suddenly he hit a tree
and it landed with a speed into the sand. Luckily, nothing happened to them. There
was smoke all around and hardly anything is visible but they managed to get
down the helicopter.
"Where are we? ", he
asked tom.
"I think this is an
island", Tom said with the same expression.
Ashu is now totally scared, they
landed on an island, ran out of fuel and he don't know how to get back before
his dad returns home.
"What to do now, tom",
he said putting his hands on the knees.
Tom didn't replied. He turned
back but tom was not there.
He got scared to death. He
shouted "Tom! Tom !".
Suddenly tom came out of the
bushes carrying some fruits in his hand.
"Where did you went ? You
scared me ", he yelled.
"Fruits time", tom
replied and gave him fruits.
Ashu opened his eyes widely and gulped some fruits with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly there was a sound from
the bushes. Ashu stood in position with all ears and an apple in his right hand
ready to throw.
A man came from bushes. He
covered himself with leaves. Ashu suddenly threw an apple at him.
"Hey ! Hey, Don't do that, I
won't do any harm ", the man shouted.
"Who are you", ashu asked with another fruit in
his hand.
"I am sooraj , I got stuck in this island since a week. My
helicopter got damaged, I landed here in a parachute. My dress got torn and
have nothing to wear, so wearing these leaves, there is no one in this island
and I almost lose hope to see my home again and finally I saw you both. Please
help me to return and I am so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you".
"It's ok ! I am sorry ".
"But I don't know how to go
back. We ran out of fuel and something got broke when we hit a tree", ashu
replied disheartened.
"Fuel ? I think I can fix
this out", sooraj said and ran into the bushes.
Ashu kept figuring out what is
damaged.
Tom made an umbrella with leaves
and collected some more fruits.
Sooraj came running from the
bushes with a coconut shell and some liquid in it.
"Try this out ! I think it works".
Sooraj told Tom the place and
asked him to bring more. Mean while sooraj and ashu were trying to fix the
helicopter. Tom kept bringing more and more. They refilled the tank and tried
to start it.
Luckily it got started
immediately and the trio were in ecstasy at that moment.
Sooraj changed his dress which
Tom gave him and they flew back home. They dropped sooraj at his home.
He was so happy and he hugged them so tightly.
Ashu and Tom returned to their
mansion even before their dad and everything turned normal.
This taste of the little adventure had always
remained extra-special and remarkable in
their dairies of life.
