Chapter 14: The Real Strength of Karthik
Jayaraj put an emotional baggage of family and life on the mentality of Karthik just to see if as the hero of the movie he can withstand this pressure of emotional baggage or not.
The words of Jayaraj left all of the family members of Karthik completely speechless. And for a few seconds all of them imagined the scenario that Jayaraj has described to them regarding Karthik.
First of all Kavya saw in her mind Karthik being performing a stunt using a car that has caught flames.
Soon the flames spread across the car and in a few seconds it reached closer to the engine of the car and after five seconds...
*BOOM...*
The car exploded and along with it Karthik exploded as well leaving only a very few pieces of his body.
This imagination shook Kavya to her core as she glanced over her brother who is all fine sitting close to Jayaraj.
Seeing her brother fine Kavya took a sigh of relief.
After Kavya it was turn of Karthik's mother who saw her son standing over a very large building while wearing all safety harness and wires around his body.
In this stunt Karthik is to jump from that building without getting a scratch on his body.
So with the call, Karthik jumped from the building and thanks to the harness and wires he was going down very well.
But then out of nowhere the wires began to tore up along with the harness and Karthik who was going down slowly fall very fast.
And the building being ten floor high building, Karthik straight up fall to his death.
Like Kavya, her mother became scared by this imagination of her as well and when she found Karthik all well she gave out a sigh of relief as well while putting her hand over her heart.
Now it was the time for Ram Chandra Rao who saw in his imagination that he and Karthik are happily going somewhere on Karthik's bike.
Karthik is riding the bike while Ram Chandra Rao is sitting behind him and both the father and son have made amends with each other and are happily going somewhere while having a very good conversation between them.
At that time Ram Chandra Rao saw a truck coming towards them in full speed and when he alerted Karthik about this, Karthik pushed Ram Chandra Rao from the bike.
After falling on the ground, Ram Chandra Rao rolled to a certain short distance and after controlling himself when he looked at his son, he found that the truck has ran over Karthik and all of his limbs cut off from his body.
Seeing that scene Ram Chandra Rao completely broke down and ran towards his son forgetting his own pain and suffering.
*Karthik wake up. Wake up son. You and I have to go for the long drive and enjoy our lives. Come on son wake up... wake up son... wake up...*
Ram Chandra Rao tried a lot but he couldn't receive a single response from Karthik. And when he held his hand as a means to wake him up, Karthik's hand fall from his own hand flat on the ground.
This indicated Ram Chandra Rao that Karthik is no more in this world. And seeing that Ram Chandra Rao gave out a loud scream while taking the name of Karthik.
*Karthik...*
This loud scream of Ram Chandra Rao, shocked all of his family members and along with Rahul and Vasundhara as well while Jayaraj just has a smirk on his face.
After this scream Ram Chandra Rao found himself in his house standing near Jayaraj with all of his family members looking at him with a tensed look and then Ram Chandra Rao saw Karthik coming towards him.
Seeing his son well, Ram Chandra Rao went to his son and then holding Karthik, Ram Chandra Rao checked Karthik of his well being.
Seeing the concern and love of his father, Karthik became very emotional and in the next second Ram Chandra Rao finding his son very well hugged him tightly.
After getting the hug from his father, Karthik became very very emotional as tears of joy came out of his eyes.
They hugged each other for a few seconds after which Ram Chandra Rao separated himself from Karthik and said, "Karthik you don't need to do that stunt work anymore."
Soon Kavya and their mother joined Ram Chandra Rao and said the same thing as well, "Karthik stop your stunt work now."
After hearing everything from his family Karthik brought their hands onto his hands and said, "Nanna(father), Amma, Akka, I can understand the concern that you all have right now. And seeing Nanna's concern for me I am sure that you all are scared about me. But rest assured nothing will happen to me. Just like Bruce Lee I also have a very strong body. That's why I am called Bruce Lee by my stunt team. But it's not about the body but the will and mental power of one that can withstand and crush any problem that will come in the way. And trust me this Karthik here has more willpower and a unbreakable mental power and strength than anyone else in this world. So don't worry. Even if an explosion happens, even if I fall from a building or even if a truck comes before me nothing can harm me. Because I have the love and strength of my family which will always protect me. And my family is my real strength."
Saying these words Karthik pulled his family into a hug with a smile on his face and when he looked at Jayaraj, he saw Jayaraj giving him a smile and big double thumbs up.
*clap*
After giving the thumbs up, Jayaraj clapped for Karthik which drew the attention of everyone towards him.
Moving towards Karthik who by this time has stopped the family hug, Jayaraj put his hand on the shoulder of Karthik and said, "Young man you are really strong and noble. Someone who cares about his family like this and has such strong mental strength are really hard to find in this world. And after seeing you I am very sure that your profession and you both are made for each other. Although it will be impolite to say this but I just want to say that if you want a new job then the doors of my company are always open for you. I will be really glad to get a person like you by my side."
Hearing these words of Jayaraj the family members of Karthik became very happy especially Kavya and following her Ram Chandra Rao.
Vasundhara also joined her husband and gave the offer to Karthik to join their company but still Karthik declined the offer to which Jayaraj and Vasundhara accepted his decision while leaving the doors open for him.
After this heartily conversation Jayaraj, Vasundhara and Rahul came out of Ram Chandra Rao's house and found all of the people who live in the same colony of Ram Chandra Rao have gathered in front of his house.
Seeing them Jayaraj declared that Ram Chandra Rao and he have became in laws as his son Rahul will marry Kavya.
Upon learning this the colony people became very happy and clapped for this alliance that has been formed.
After that the three of them went away from there leaving a happy family of Ram Chandra Rao to spend their happy times that are just a few counts remaining.
