Testing time

Part IVa
Someone had posted Suraj and mine childhood pic on my site with a phone number I was left dazed and bewildered
My mind couldn’t work I fell down
Maya called the given number
The person on the other side was speaking in regional language and asked to come to his village Dholapur
This remote village located somewhere on the border of MP and Rajasthan it took us 16 hours to reach that goal place
Then came the moment when I was there in that village
There I met a young boy who took us to a place some half a mile away
I felt very uneasy each step was like a mile but then before me was A middle aged man someone who had aged earlier due to hard times
The man -unkempt tattered disheveled was nowhere near to Suraj of my thoughts I got closer to him

Yes he was Suraj with wrinkled face each wrinkle speaking an untold story
I started crying I hugged him held him near my heart for quite some time Suraj was cold in his response
I couldn’t understand why but
Next day I brought him to Delhi .
