The Delayed Truth

By Ravi Ranjan Goswami

Chagan was a Baubali politician. As he was growing older he was feeling a  need for support. Younger brother Magan was previously an alcoholic and then became like a detached person. He could not depend on him. Son Mayank had now grown up and was studying for BA in the degree college in Harinagar. But he kept his wife Sarita and Mayank away from his business.

Mayank had some health problems when he was five years old. Then the truth that the doctor had told him was buried in his chest like a nail. Sarita too had a feeling, but they had never discussed that thing at home or outside. But the truth would be revealed one day.
