What is love? - Concluding part

Karthik had a plan for Karan.But, what?

                    On the previous night to the destined day, Karthik revealed it to Karan ,that he was his father.

Karan came to know about the facts between Karthik and his mother.

He had mixed feelings about the whole affair.

There was noone to blame. But for the first time, he felt anger towards his mother.

Though Karthik had taken a subtle handling to reveal the facts, Karan took a long time to assimilate them .Even then, he was not able to accept them.

A tsunami was raging within the boy and he had to take it all by himself.

He took almost a couple of days to look at anyone with ease.

Lakshmi and Krithika's support helped him to a great extent.

The following week,

Karthik took Karan with him to the important place.

Karan was curious ."Where are you taking me?"

To this, Karthik said,"Where I should have taken you a long time back."

The car came to a halt and Krithika and Lakshmi were there already.

It was the registrar's office.

Karan was confused.

Karthik told Karan ,"I know that your mother was a rich woman.So, I did not have to worry on that front about her.

But, now ...mm...after your mother's death you have become lonely.

I am your father and you don't have to feel like an orphan till I am alive.So, I am going to register you as my son.

From now on,you don't have to think twice to talk about your father to anyone.

I am ready to face the consequences."

So, they signed the necessary documents.

It was an emotional moment for the father and son and it was time for Karan to leave too.

At the airport:

Karthik's family went along to the airport, to give a warm farewell to Karan.

When it was time for Karan to part,Karthik said,"Once you finish your course,you should come right back to us.We will be waiting for you.

I will call you once every week and you can call on any of us whenever you want.

Remember you have a family waiting for you here."

Karan had tears in his eyes when he left.

Karthik, Lakshmi and Krithika waved out to Karan in the hope that he would come back and become a part of the family.

"HOPE IS LIFE"
