Sitting on the beach, watching the waves hit the sand and getting lost in the memories of Naira had become a normal routine for Kartik. It's been a week since he had come to Goa. Since then everyday he would come to the beach after office. Despite being chaotic, the waves still had a certain pattern, certain rhythm to them unlike his life, which only had chaos. No pattern, no rhythm, only chaos.
It was evening time, so quite a few people were there. He looked around. He saw people, enjoying the cold wind, couples romancing with each other, children playing with the water. He couldn't help but notice one small family. It was a couple, with two children. A Girl and a boy. The couple was sitting on the beach, while the children were playing with each other.
Kartik felt a pang of grief in his heart as kept on looking at the scene in front of him. That was it. The life which he had wanted. More than anything. Him, Naira and there kids. Together. A family. Tears came in his eyes. For Naira, for Kaira, and for his second child who didn't even come in this world.
Kartik's thought's :- kyun ? Kya bigada tha maine kisi ka ? Jo aisi saza de rahe hai Krishna ji aap mughe. Pehle meri beti mughe chod kar chali gayi, aur baad mein meri Naira aur Mera baccha. Kyun kar rahe hai aap aisa Krishna ji ? kab tak aise jeeonga, aap mughe unse milwa kyu nahi dete. Please. Request kar-
Voice :- Kartik !!??
Kartik broke from his thoughts and looked up to see who called him. It was Lisa.
Kartik:- Lisa.
Lisa :- hey. Hii. How are you ? Uss din ke baad se aap mile hi nahi.
It was true. Kartik hadn't seen Lisa after that night. Till today.
Kartik :- haa, vo bas kaam mein busy tha.
Lisa sat down beside Kartik.
Lisa :- vaise, if you don't mind me asking, kya kaam karte hai aap ?
Kartik :- family buisness hai hamara. Usi ke ek project ke liye Goa aaya hoon. Project kaafi lamba hai. Toh 5 mahino tak yahin hoon.
Lisa :- ohhh, that's nice.
Both went quiet after that. Lisa was thinking of what to say to Kartik. She wanted to befriend him. He was the who had saved her that night, otherwise god knows what would have happened.
Lisa :- so, are you married ?
Lisa immediately regretted her question. She could she his body tightening, his teeth clenching and pain in his eyes. Before she could apologise, Kartik spoke.
Kartik :- yeah, I am. Bas ab vo iss duniya se bahut dur chali gayi hai.
Lisa :- i am sorry. Mughe nahi puchna chahiye tha.
Kartik :- it's ok. You had no idea.
Both went quiet. Lisa felt guilty. She got up to leave.
Lisa :- if you need help in the future, please do tell me. I'll be more than happy, and sorry once again.
She turned to leave when Kartik spoke.
Kartik :- ek min. Lisa.
Kartik got up as Lisa turned around.
Kartik :- mughe ek chiz ki information chahiye.
Lisa :- haa, kis baare mein ?
Kartik :- yahan par Street fights kahan hoti hai ?
Lisa looked shocked.
Kartik :- aur ye mat bolna ki tumhe nahi pata. Main ache se jaanta hoon ki tumhe pata hai.
