In Search Of Shiva: The Father Returns
Part 4/5
VII
Daadi was busy eating chura matar, as we walked into the living room. I felt my tummy grumble now- it too seemed to be upset with the recent going ons.
“Maa ji, if you can help me with that “Pandit Ji’s son”, I would like to visit him first today.” My Mother asked.
Daadi smiled at my mom and asked both of us to come to the dining table.
“Visa, do you trust me?” Daadi said looking at my Mother.
“Yes, Maa Ji”
“I’ve already made the calls since last night and I have spoken to Amogh, Pandit Ji’s son. Ashutosh is not with him. He is not here in Kashi.”
“What do we do then?” My Mother’s tears were already welling up.
“Eat breakfast first. Ok? Chandan, please get for these two also- they are famished.”
“But Maa Ji….”
“He has gone looking for HIM again- he won’t find him as usual. So, he will be back- hopefully within a week. If not, the police know what to do next…He won’t do anything drastic, trust me on that”
“What should I do till then Maa Ji. I was unable to sleep last night…I have no appetite; I want to scream my lungs out!”
