"What?"-Rakesh
"Yes, your dad was nothing but a suicide bomber. And more importantly who you say your dad, did he ever show you your childhood photos, rather what was his proof of being your dad?"- Gaitonde
Rakesh left the place unanswered, he was going to the orphanage carrying a couple of doubts, questions and a lot of queries. It was 9.00 pm now, still he was thinking of the same fact. "Was Gaitonde speaking the truth? But the fact that I don't have my childhood photos is true! Thinking he lied down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
Next Day he woke up and was amazed to see the Happy Birthday posters everywhere in the orphanage, he woke up and went to nityam and asked, "Do I really belong to the one who died in the blast?"
Nityam ignored it and greeted, "Happy Birthday Rakesh. Come on put on the candles, bring the gifts it's the birthday of most daring child in this asylum"
Rakesh was physically present in the asylum but somewhere in his mind he was wandering around and was not able to get his identity. 6.35 pm the orphans were given a visit by Gaitonde.
"Happy Birthday Rakesh beta"
"Why are you here? Can't you just tell me to whom do I belong? Is this my real name, am I Rakesh Joshi?"
"You'll soon get your answers. The real thing is till you turn 18 I can't kill you or else I would have done it pretty early"
"Why wait for 18 when you still can't kill me now!"(with grin)
"I'll first let you know your identity, then it'll be fun seeing you die" (leaves)
"Sir, why do you want to kill him?"- Kulkarni
"No questions Kulkarni, I'd just say, he's a confused guy and a confused guy can work for us as well as against us"
"So you're thinking to take him our side and make him work for us?"
"I didn't say that!"
"Then against us?"
"Not that too!"
8.00 pm the same day
Rakesh sitting on a bench and suddenly hears a van running behind with some familiar noise. Rakesh turns and sees what!
"Rashmi!!!"
(Rashmi, the childhood crush of Rakesh. She was with Rakesh since the Blast had taken place. Both were precisely in a so-called relationship.)
Rakesh ran behind the van trying to chase it, later he took his bike and followed the van upto a under construction building. At the gate he was surrounded by some of the guards, he could have fought a little but no, need to save Rashmi. Before he could barely speak he was given a chloroform dose. After 2-3 hours, he opened his eyes and saw himself in an empty room with a single screen.
"Where the hell am I?"
The screen glowed. "Welcome to the Critical Spy Agency Rakesh"
"Spy Agency?"
"You've been selected for the early recruitment program. We've got some tasks for you to do."
"Bloody Recruitment? I haven't applied for it. I think you've kidnapped the wrong Rakesh"
A man entered the scene and sat in front of Rakesh. Rakesh wasn't able to see his face.
"I'm the head of this non-governmental agency. It brings out the illegal malpractices of the government, if you try we together can defeat Gaitonde"
"How do you know me? Why do you want me to work for you? And how do you know that I have rivalry with Gaitonde. And how's Rashmi? Is she fine?"
"We've been watching you since the blast child! And don't worty she's fine. It was just a plan to bring you here, as you always feel for your close ones."
"So if I join your agency what will I get?"
"Your identity, the proof of your existence. You'll get a reason to live."
