Swaraaj : The Devil

CHAPTER SEVEN

Vijaita mansion, Ahmedabad. 

"I'm not messing with you Radha, I think it's him...." Keshav said on phone with his wife.... Keshav hasn't been home for three days now, so Radha was not paying attention to any other word her husband said except for apology, but when he started to talk complete nonsense, Radha had it enough.... 

"You're either completely out of your mind or you're drunk to your core....." Radha said irritating by her husband's comments.... 

"Do not take me for a stupid, woman! I know what I'm talking about.... I've seen him.... That's why I'm saying this...." Keshav said angrily when his wife insulted him..... 

"Seen him? Seen him where? Seen him when?" Radha asked, her curiosity piqued.... Radha had lost all hopes of happening this but he couldn't just ignore her husband's confessions either.... She knew her husband was rash and impulsive, but even he wouldn't talk such nonsense himself in this kind of matters.... 

"I'll tell you every detail once I'm home...." Keshav said hastily.... And hung up the call..... Radha was in deep surprise, she only had one question in her mind, is it even possible? And if it is then why after so many years? Why not sooner? If it is true, then Keshav has really found their son.... Oh my god, I will meet my son... oh my boy..... 

Thinking about all of that, her eyes got wet and soon tears found their way out of her eyes through her cheeks.... She started sobbing hard.... 

◆◆◆

It was after 5 hours; when Keshav returned home, He got freshen up and changed into comfortable clothes and after that he sat with his wife in the living room.... 

"Where were you for last three days?" Radha asked concerned..... 

"I'll tell you, but is anyone home? Is Samu home?" Keshav asked worried.... 

"No, she's out with Arjun...." Radha replied absentmindedly.... 

"Why?" she asked 

"I want to discuss this with you only, I don't want them to find out just now.... It'll freak them out...." Keshav said in concerned voice...... 

"Ok, but tell me where have you seen him?" Radha asked.... 

"On TV.... In an Interview...." Keshav said.... Radha lost all her hopes when her husband said those words.... Is he out of his mind? In an interview? He could've come up with something better excuse this time, he's using his son's name to hide where he vanished for three days..... Radha felt disgusted.. 

"What?" Keshav asked seeing disgust on Radha's face, "In an Interview? seriously?" Radha lashed out, Keshav just shrugged his shoulders, Radha gazed at him, She thought he was serious, "What interview?" she asked curiously, 

"The One Kairav took...." Keshav explained, 

 "The Businessman's interview?" Radha was amazed 

"Haven't you seen his interview?" Keshav asked shocked..... Keshav was the one who didn't support Kairav's choice of career.... But Radha supported him in every decision he took... So Radha not seeing biggest break of his son's career was little shocking for Keshav.... 

"No, I haven't actually....." Radha confessed..... 

"Here...." Keshav offered his IPad, she played the video of interview.... Kairav gave introduction of famous businessman, but then camera turned to Karan and zoomed in on his face, Radha was shocked to her core seeing this familiar face.... she shot up at Keshav, he was looking at her expecting this reaction from her.... 

"But he's different.... It could be someone else....." Radha expressed her doubts bluntly.... 

"I had the same doubts when I first saw him, but when I saw this other photos, my doubts were cleared...." He said taking device from her and searching for photos Kairav gave him.... He found one photo of him and Dada Sahib together and again handed over the device.... Radha took the device and saw the same man as in video; folding hands in Namaste in front of an old man and young woman.....
