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.
