It's been a week since Kartik and Kairav reunited. And Lisa didn't know if the situation between Kartik and Naira was better or worse. To Lisa it felt the latter.
She would go to Naira's house everyday, fearing as well as hoping if something would have happened between kartik and naira. She didn't care if they fought or if they just talked quietly to each other. She just hoped for something between them. To accept the current situation was the first step to move forward in life.
She wanted them to move on, to talk to each other, if not for each other, then at least for Kairav. But that was not the case. In Kartik's case he only accepted the part where only Kairav was involved and the same was with Naira. Both of them hadn't spoken or fought with each other since they met a week ago. And Lisa was quickly losing hope which she had for both of them.
Naksh had gone back to Udaipur due to some emergency work. Even he hadn't talked to Naira after his first meeting with her. Naksh was deeply hurt, although he didn't show it, Lisa knew it. She could see it in his eyes. Before going back, naksh had given Kartik's medical file to her, in case she needed Kartik's medical history in the future.
Lisa had been horrified when she had read Kartik's file. Insomnia, depression, anger issues, hand cutting, street fights injuries, especially on the abdomen, hands, legs, face, more than 12 bones which had broken and healed in the last five years, especially of the hands, nose, feet and face, 20 to 30% of his body was covered in scars, severe burn marks were also present on his back and legs.
After that Lisa had started to take extra care of Kartik, she herself took him to hospital every other day to get his dressings changed, made sure that he took his medicines on time, and herself prepared whatever food he ate which was actually nothing but boiled vegetables with some pepper and salt sprinkled on it and alongside some fruits.
In a short amount of time Lisa had come to care greatly for Kartik and she knew tin-, naira for almost five years. Both were her great friends and she only wanted one thing, and that was for everything to become normal between them. But Lisa knew that she couldn't interfere now, as it might worsen the situation between Kartik and Naira.
Lisa's thoughts :- god, please, just fulfill this wish of mine. Inn dono ke beech sab thik kar do. Sab normal ho jaaye, so that they can move forward in life.
Kartik didn't know what was happening to him. His life was more chaotic than ever, he didn't know what he was feeling, his mind was tumultuous, he was losing his sanity. For a moment he would feel that life had finally decided to grant him some mercy by reuniting him with his son but another moment he would feel that it was even worse than before.
For the past week, he had developed a new routine of his life. Everyday after work he would go to Kairav's house, and would play with him till Kairav tires out, eat dinner which Lisa would bring from her home, take his medicines and sleep.
Although sleep didn't come that easily to Kartik, five years of sleeping on the floor with just a simple mattress had become a habit and habits just don't break in a day.
The first night when Kairav had asked him to sleep beside him hadn't been easy for Kartik. Even though the bed was full with people Kartik felt like he would sink in the bed because of which he hadn't been able to sleep on the bed. Kartik had then laid down on the ground beside the bed on a long mat which was kept there and had put an alarm to wake up very early in the morning, even before Kairav and his mother and to move back in the bed so as not to cause any suspicion.
In the morning he would leave after Kairav had woken up, with an excuse to go to the office and then again he would go to Kairav's house in the evening. A robotic routine, but a routine nonetheless.
