The reunion!

A runaway at 10.

Fleeing from daily strife. 

Broken home, incessant fights.

Tired of being born out of marriage.

A concerned society 

which left no children without chances.

Soon placed in foster care, 

he rebuilt his life book by book.

A decade on.

Rajiv entered college.

His English foster parents now in their country home.

A legal notice 

suddenly informs, 

father no more.

Unwed mom left alone.

Stepbrother back in India 

severed from family too at 12.

Father's first legitimate son.

They meet again 

in dark times.

Uncertain, strangers now.

Big bro says, 'He wasn't the best!'

They laugh.

Brother gives him a big hug.
