Not being able to trace Sujatha was always worrying Karthik.
Though he knew it was not agreed upon to support her or her child,he could never forgive himself.
Everything else around him seemed to be going on fine oblivious of his worries when suddenly,
Karthik met with an accident.
It was said that he was hit by a car smaller in size to his.the driver was later found to have drowned himself in liquor before driving.
There was so much buzzle around him.
As for Karthik,he lay on the road with an open gash on his leg.
Time was passing away fast but, no-one came forward to help him - except for one young man.
Now, to tell you about this young man.
He was six feet in height and well-built.But, he was still very young.
He must have been about two decades old.But, he had a strength of character that shown through him.

He picked up Karthik and drove him to the hospital in his car. He informed Karthik's family members with the information on Karthik's licence card.Then,he left. Once karthik felt better and was sent home,the first thing he did was to trace this young man.

He went to the boy's house but, he was not there.
His neighbors informed Karthik that the young man had lost his mother only a few weeks ago.

He came to know that the boy had gone to the riverside to perform a few last ceremonies for his mother's soul to rest in peace.
Karthik thought he should meet him immediately.He wasted no time.
At the riverside:
By the time Karthik reached the riverside, the rituals were over and Karan was sitting alone.

As soon as he saw Karthik,he broke down.
Karthik felt sorry for him.He asked,"What is your name?"
"My name is Karan sir."
The boy continued,"if someone would have saved my mother like I saved you,she would have lived today.she was my only relationship with this world.I loved her so much and so did she.I was her world. She always thought for me."Then he broke into a tears again.
"What about your father?Is he no more?"
The boy suddenly fell silent.
After about a time ,which seemed like ages,he began to talk again.
"My father left us even before I was born."
"Then he must have been a very selfish man.Am I right?"Karthik asked.
"No sir.Don't say that.
My mother loved him till the last and she has always told me well about him.
My mother loved him till the last and she has always told me well about him.
Please don't ask me anything more.
Saying so, they walked till their cars.
Karthik wanted to thank the boy immensely but, just the word would not suffice, he thought.I should help him now. So,Karthik invited him home to wade his loneliness.
The boy accepted.He felt very comfortable with Karthik.
It gave him a queer but, happy feeling.

At Karthik's home:
Lakshmi and Krithika were very accommodative to Karan.The comfort they gave him brought back a smile on his face.He felt much better.
After an elaborate lunch Karthik and Karan sat down for a chat.
In the course of the talk,Karthik came to know that the boy had been in America doing his masters ,when the unexpected happened to his mother.He had even refused to go to America earlier but, his mother had forced him to accept it for his betterment.
Later that night,the boy started to talk about his mother and he showed Kathik her photo.
It was Sujatha.
Now he realised that this boy Karan is his own.
But he did not seem to know his father by face .
Sujatha had kept up her promise and his own dignity till the last,against many odds.He felt thankful sorry for her at the same time.
Suddenly, the thought that Karan was his son gave Karthik so much to talk to him.He had lost out all 20 years with his son and he wanted to make-up for it altogether.But, there were other thoughts also running in his mind.
He thought that being impulsive will not help.First things first.

So,Karthik convinced Karan to stay back for another week .
Karthik had a plan for the boy.
Karan was hesitant initially, but eventually agreed.
So, what next?
