Naksh was extremely worried. He had just landed in Goa and was going to Kartik's house. He was calling Kartik again and again but he was not picking up, which was causing his anxiety to increase. Kartik never ignored his phone and even if he was not in the mood to talk he would at least message him. But right now Naksh was not getting any reply from him.

Naksh knew that Kartik was in some emotional turmoil but he didn't know what exactly. He had been taking care of Kartik since past five years. He knew everything about Kartik. For the past week whenever he talked to Kartik, he could feel some anxiety, some restlessness in Kartik's voice and he knew it wasn't due to Naira's memories.

It was something else. He had even asked Kartik, if anything was troubling him but Kartik always avoided the topic. Naksh decided to come to Goa because of this. He would have come to Goa two to three days later but when last night Lisa had informed him about the stab wound. He had decided to come the next day itself.

Although Lisa had told him that she would take Kartik to the hospital, his worry hadn't lessened even a single bit. What was more surprising was the fact that Kartik agreed to go to a hospital. He still didn't know how Lisa had convinced him for that.

Naksh called again but Kartik didn't pick up.

Naksh :- come on Kartik. Phone uthao.

Naksh's anxiety was increasing. Something was wrong, something had to be wrong. Ever since he had landed in Goa, Naksh had this gut feeling which was telling him that something horrible had happened.

He called Kartik again but he didn't pick up. He decided to call Lisa. She picked it up.

Naksh :- Hello.

Lisa :- Hello.

Naksh :- Lisa, Kartik Kahan hai ?

Lisa :- vo...... I don't know.

Naksh :- matlab, tum toh ussey leke hospital janne wali thi na.

Lisa :- haa, par wo Kartik ne mana kar diya.

Naksh :- what ?!!!

Lisa :- mana nahi matlab, he said ki it's better ki agar evening mein chalein.

Naksh :- evening matlab kab, jab doctor apne ghar chalein jaaenge tab!!!!?????

Lisa on the other hand stayed quiet. She didn't know what to say to Naksh, not after what she had seen some time ago, not after the bomb which had been dropped on her head.

Naksh :- acha, at least tumhe ye toh pata hai ki Kartik Kahan hai ?

Lisa :- huh ?

Naksh :- kartik, where is he ? Main uska phone try kar raha hoon. He is not picking up.

Lisa :- I don't know, i think, may be ghar pe hi ho.

Naksh :- Lisa, i am in Goa. Main abhi thodi der pehle Goa mein land kara hoon, and i am going to Kartik's house.

Lisa :- what !!!???

Naksh :- haa, and Lisa tum mughe kartik ke ghar pe Milo, as soon as possible, something is not right.

Lisa :- what ??!!! How do you know ki something's not right !!!???

Surely Naksh didn't know what had transpired just some time ago.

Naksh :- pata nahi Lisa, just a gut feeling, but my gut feeling is rarely wrong.

Lisa :- ohhhh.

Naksh :- haa Lisa, please jaldi se mughe uske ghar milo, mughe aisi feeling hai ki kuch bahut bura hua hai uske saath. And he needs our help.

Lisa :- ok, I'll meet you there.

Naksh cut the call. After 20 more unbearable minutes, he finally reached Kartik's place. Naksh paid the cab person and got out of the car.

He walked to the front door and pressed the door bell. No one opened opened the door. Naksh pressed the door bell again. He kept pressing it again and again, but no one opened the door. Naksh knocked on the door.

Naksh :- kartik !!! Kartik !!!! Ghar mein koi hai ???!!!

But again no one opened the door.

Voice :- naksh ????

Naksh turned around as he heard someone calling his name. It was a woman. He recognised the voice.

Naksh :- Lisa ???

Lisa :- yaa, i am Lisa. And you must be naksh !!??

Naksh came forward and shook her hand.

Naksh :- vo Kartik, ghar pe hi hai na ??

Lisa looked at Kartik's car which was parked there.

Lisa's thoughts:- toh kartik vaapas ghar aa gaya hai. God knows uss bechare ke dil aur dimaag mein kya chal raha hoga abhi.

Lisa :- haa, i mean car toh yahi parked hai, toh ghar pe hi hoga.

Lisa decided not to tell naksh of what had happened just some time ago.

Naksh :- toh phir ye darwaza kyun nahi khol raha ??

Naksh was extremely worried. This was not normal behaviour of Kartik. Something was wrong, very very wrong.

Naksh :- mughe kuch thik nahi lag raha. Peeche hato, main ye darwaza tod raha hoon.

Lisa nooded and stepped back. Naksh kicked the door with full force and it broke open.

As soon as they entered both were shocked as they saw the state of the house. The house was destroyed. Everything was broken. Pieces of broken things lying here and there.

And in the middle of all this was lying Kartik, completed unconscious.

Naksh :- KARTIK!!!!

Naksh and Lisa ran towards Kartik and kneeled down beside him.

Naksh :- Kartik, Kartik, please aankhein kholo.

Naksh looked at Kartik. He was bleeding from his abdomen, his arms were cut, his knuckles were bleeding and various peices of glass had penetrated his body here and there. He also saw a bottle of alcohol lying beside him.

Naksh couldn't believe what he was seeing. In the past five years Naksh had done everything he could for Kartik. From his doctor to his fights to his medicines. He had taken care of everything. He knew Kartik from inside out. In the past five years, Kartik had never taken even a single drop of alcohol, no matter how much pain he was in, he never even touched it. For kartik to drink it now, Naksh knew something drastic must have happened for Kartik to do something like this.

Lisa :- main ambulance ko phone karti hoon.

Naksh :- nahi, humare pass utna time nahi hai, hum khud hi Issey le chalte hai.

Lisa nodded and picked up the car keys which was lying on the ground. Naksh picked up Kartik and both came outside. He put Kartik inside the car and lisa started the car.

Lisa drove as fast as the road allowed her to. She couldn't believe what was happening. In just a matter of few hours, three lives had changed forever. Kartik's, Kairav's and Tina,...no not Tina, Naira. Her real name was Naira.

When Kartik had left her house Tina had broken down and cried and had then told her everything. Who she was, her real name, from where she was and the event because of which she was living in Goa.

For a moment Lisa had been disgusted by what she had heard. Seriously, how could Kartik doubt Tina ? She was such an amazing person, so caring, so good, always helping everyone. How could somebody even doubt such a wonderful person ???!!!

But slowly a picture had formed in her mind. And everything had started to make sense to her about Kartik. His behaviour, his loneliness, his brooding, his street fights, his cold behaviour, him always getting lost in his thoughts, him cutting his hands, his medicines, his depression. Kartik blamed himself for Naira's death and that was the reason he had become like this.

But before her mind could have processed this further and Naksh had called her and had asked her to come at Kartik's house. For a moment she had thought of telling the truth to Naira but then had decided not to, she was already stressed, no need for any more. And had made an excuse that a friend had gotten injured and she needed to take that friend to the hospital. Ironically, her lie had now turned out to be true.

They reached the hospital in front of casualty, and immediately took him inside and laid down kartik on a stretcher. A doctor came and saw him.

Doctor:- oh my god!!! Nurse immediately take him for an ultrasound and after that to minor ot. Hummein jaldi se jaldi inki dressing karni hogi aur saare glass ke peices bhi nikalne honge.

Nurse nodded and moved the stretcher with Naksh, Lisa and The doctor following them.

Doctor:- i need every detail of the patient.

Naksh nodded and went to the car and brought back a file with him.

Naksh :- sir ye Kartik ki file hai, isme uski condition ke baare mein poori detail hai.

The doctor took the file and started studying it. Naksh had started making this file when Kartik had finally agreed to get treated. It contained every single medical detail of Kartik for the past 5 years. From his fight injuries, to his depression, to everything. While coming to the hospital he had remembered to carry the file with him.

Doctor:- my god!!

Naksh didn't say anything as the doctor handed the file back to him. Before any one could say anything else, nurse came.

Nurse :- sir, ultrasound ho gaya hai, and we have shifted the patient to minor ot, please come.

The doctor nodded and went. Naksh fell on the chair. Lisa sat beside him.

Lisa :- naksh, don't worry, Kartik will be alright. I know he'll pull through.

Naksh :- pata nahi. Paanch saal Lisa, paanch saal se Issey dekh raha hoon. Apni zindagi ko poori tarah se narak bana liya hai isne. Jeene ki iccha khatam ho chuki hai iski aur ye apne iss narak se bahar aana hi nahi chahata.

Lisa didn't say anything, she had no idea what to say. Both of them were sitting quietly, after an hour the doctor came out. Both stood up.

Naksh :- how is he ?

Doctor :- right now he is sleeping, thankfully there is no internal bleeding. Humne saare glass ke peices bhi nikal diye hai aur jahan jahan zarorat thi, stiches bhi laga diye hai. But-

Naksh :- but what doctor ?

Doctor :- he has lost quite a lot of blood. Hum blood transfusion karna hoga. Jyada nahi but at least one unit.

Naksh :- don't worry. My blood group is the same as Kartik. I'll donate it.

Doctor nodded.

Doctor :- but may i ask, inhe ye chot lagi kaise ?

Naksh:- pata nahi sir, main aaj hi Goa aaya hoon aur ussey iss haal mein pata. Isne poore Ghar mein tod fod kari hui thi.

Doctor :- Issey pehle kabi Aisa kuch-

Naksh :- nahi sir. Ye pehli baar hai, jo Kartik ne aisa kuch kiya hai.

Doctor :- sir, patient ko jitni bhi problems hai and unka ye reaction ka matlab hai ki kuch aisa hua hai jiski wajah se unhe bahut bada shock laga hai. And it has to be something really really big.

Naksh :- doctor, can I meet him ?

Doctor :- yeah, just wait for some time, hum unhe ek baari room mein shift kar de, after that you can meet him.

Saying that the doctor went from there. Naksh turned to Lisa.

Naksh :- Lisa, mughe samagh nahi aa raha ki aisa kya hua hai, jo Kartik ne iss tareeke se react Kiya.

Lisa thoughts :- ab kya bolu Naksh, meri toh khud kuch samagh mein nahi aa raha. Kya bolu aur kaise bolu!! Kis muh se batao ki Kartik ki patni aur tumhari behen zinda hai.

Naksh :- Lisa

Lisa :- haa!

Naksh :- kahan kho gayi thi ?

Lisa :- kuch nahi, vo bas aise hi.

Naksh :- Lisa, tumhe kuch idea hai ki aisa kya hua hai jo Kartik ne ye halat kar li apni.

Lisa :- vo, vo...

Naksh :- Lisa, please i am beging you, agar tumhe kuch bhi pata hai toh please mughe bata do.

Lisa :- nahi..., haa...., vo-

Naksh :- Lisa, Please. I am begging you.

Lisa tried but she knew she couldn't lie.

Lisa :- Naksh, to be honest, i think it will be better agar Kartik tumhe khud bataye ki kya hua hai.

Naksh :- Lis-

Suddenly her phone rang, she looked at it, it was Tina.

Lisa :- i am sorry but I have to go. And ye lo gaadi ki chaabi, tumhe zarurat pad sakti hai.

Saying that Lisa gave Naksh car keys and hurriedly went from there.

Lisa came out of the hospital, she knew the storm had just begun, she just prayed to God to let the storm pass without sinking any boat.
