JENNIFER'S POV
I stood frozen at my place, absolutely dumbstruck!
Randhir... Randhir Manthena! Your fucking father!
Randhir... Randhir Manthena! Your fucking father!
Randhir... Randhir Manthena! Your fucking father!
Those words kept replaying themselves in my mind like a damaged tape-recorder, repeating itself over and over again. Father had disconnected the call by then, leaving me in a state of utter disorder.
My lips were quivering while I was desperately trying to back those big, fat tears from trailing down my eyes. I had looked for the 'Manthena Group of Industries' before when I had in the very first time, eavesdropped on father. I had searched on each and every search engine. At that time, I had come to know that for a decade or so, Randhir Manthena had been the CEO of the corporation. But then abruptly, he gave up the position. Since then, his whereabouts were unknown. Some of the tabloids said that he had surrendered himself from the business world and was staying in some distant land while other paparazzi said he had been ailing since a long time due to some lung disease and hence was counting his last days in some oldage home.
At that time, I had felt a dire need of searching for him, meeting him once, ask about his health, confront him for not asking about me all these years, not trying to meet me for even once, keeping me away from parental love, security. But most necessarily I had wanted to give him a tight hug. I had felt ecstatic for have gotten someone whom I could call as my own but this recent revelation had shattered everything.
I had a family, atleast a father.... True
He had been looking for me all these years.... Damn right
But was it all for a happy, teary, reunion? Absolutely not!
He had been hunting for me all this time, he had kept me alive possibly because he had some very profitable business to extract through me. I still couldn't reason out why he had kept me away from himself these many years?
