We proceeded with our plan. As soon as the crowd saw uncle and Vivek, they went crazier. They were furiously curious for their answers. We had already arranged mic and speaker for our voices to be able to be loud enough.
"Please calm down. I am here to explain all of your doubts."
"We don't want your explanations, we only want the truth." shouted one among them.

"Just tell the truth. Is the person visible in those pictures the real Rahul Jaykar?" said another.
My heartbeat was racing faster and faster. I was still inside my apartment watching everything from the window. I held Rahul's hand tightly and he did the same.
"By explanation I meant the truth" sehgal uncle spoke calmly.
"Do not beat around the bush. Explain in a few sentences only if or not that person is RJ. And if he is, where he is now? Bring him here"
"Yes. Bring him here. Yes...." The crowd roared in unity.
"Will you all please let me speak?" Uncle said again and this time more seriously.
They all became quiet. But the fierce didn't. They all looked like they were ready to attack any time.
Uncle began to speak, "As you all know, those pictures and the person in it you all are assuming to be Rahul Jaykar....is true"
There was a sudden and loud whisper among the public. What were they confused about now? Weren't they here today to hear this?
"We know that already. Just bring him here infront of us. We have questions for him. " a media person appealed. And the crowd followed his appeal.
"I apologise but I can't accept this request for now" I was literally shocked at this statement of his. This wasn't a part of our plan. I and Rahul looked at each other with clueless expressions.
As expected, the crowd went agitated. They all started shouting crazily. Uncle tried to explain but they were not ready to listen. The police, who were there for security reasons, had to interfere to shut them up.
"I have a valid reason. Please give me a chance to explain!" Uncle pleaded again.
They didn't make a noise which was a sign for uncle to speak. "Rahul is in Rehabilitation centre currently"
The whisper started again. I looked at Rahul and he was as confused as me. Uncle was not following our plan and we were totally unaware of what was happening.
"A few days ago we got a call from a Rehab, situated far away from Maharashtra. They notified me about Rahul..that he was alive and has been there for all these years. At first, I didn't believe and thought of it as a prank call..but then, he spoke to me. Yes, Rahul spoke to me himself. I hurried and reached there. I didn't even inform any of my anyone else. When i reached there, i couldn't believe my eyes. But it was Rahul. It was actually him." He shed some tears after speaking this much. Though we didn't know about this storyplan but it was actually believable. By now, he even had gained the trust of the public. They looked pretty much convinced.
He continued, "just give him a few days. He's alright now, but it has been a long time since he faced such a huge crowd. He has to be mentally prepared for your questions." He stopped for a while waiting for the public to speak. But they were silent and gossiping among themselves.
"Do we get some time?" Uncle repeated his question.
After a while, one of them shouted, " just a week!" Some people agreed with him but some didn't reply at all. However,majority had agreed which meant green signal. "No longer than that. We won't let you all pass this. You all will be boycotted if he doesn't appear within a week!" One of them warned us.
Though I didn't really know what for uncle had borrowed time, but it wasn't of much concern to me. Rahul was already here. We could have him appeared at the spotlight thereon. I was really curious of uncle's new plan.
