You're My Everything....

chapter 3

With a promise to see her soon and one wistful look back, Kartik leaves Naira on the roof to join his team for a top-secret mission. Naira watches his helicopter take off, and she’s joined by her colleague Ram kumar , who asks what she’s staring at.

She asks him almost distractedly if people in the Special Forces get helicopter escorts and sometimes get shot, and he says that really never happens. Naira wonders who exactly Kartik is, then.

Kartik is now in China, on a mission to rescue two UN representatives who have been kidnapped by the Taliban. During a practice run, the Indian team’s rookie sets off a booby trap, causing both Kartik and Veer to holler at him.

An American(?) soldier throws his dagger into a box next to Kartik’s head and yells at them to go back home, and of course Kartik can’t let that go. He hurls the dagger right back, where it sticks into a box right between the other soldier’s legs.

Now it’s on, and Kartik and the other soldier fight viciously, seeming evenly matched. Veer holds the rookie back from getting involved, telling him that when Special Forces from different countries get together, something like this always happens. It’s a test to see if the other side is strong and trustworthy.

The fight is pretty awesome actually, between the American’s strength and Kartik’s quickness and agility (at one point he literally climbs the other guy). You get the sense that they could do this all day, but the captain finally breaks up the fight and orders them back to work.

Naira complains to her colleague DR. DISHA about the position she’s applying for, apparently for the third time, and her friend is certain that she’ll be accepted this time. Another doctor comes in to make snarky comments to Naira, seeing as how she’s up for the same job and certain she’ll get it.

The two seem pretty antagonistic, and they end up in the same surgery room, where the snarky woman, Dr. Kapoor, happily chirps that there’s been a change in plans — she’s in charge, and Naira will be assisting her. They continue to trade barbs while operating, until something goes wrong and the patient starts to bleed out.

Some pretty slick editing switches us between Naira’s operation and China, where the Special Forces are beginning the real mission. Kartik’s team infiltrates the building where the UN workers are being held, while on other hand Naira works fast to save the patient.

Things get ugly during the mission — a booby trap is set off and shots are fired, but Kartik and Veer manage to keep themselves and their team alive, for the moment. Kartik gets creative as he works his way to the heart of the building, and shoots the Taliban kidnappers just as they’re about to kill the hostages. The hostages are saved

— mission complete.

At the same time, Naira stabilizes her patient and orders Dr. Kapoor to finish the surgery. Dr. Kapoor complies, but she’s not at all happy about Naira having to step in to save her surgery

Naira could chew nails as she leaves the operating room, ranting about how that doctor nearly killed their patient, but a third doctor, DR. SNEHAL, follows to tell her she did a good job, which calms her down. She pats Dr. Snehal’s belly and tells her unborn baby that her mother did a good job too, and Dr. Snehal is happy to announce that the father finally proposed.

The father just happens to be another doctor at the hospital, Dr.RAJ . He sidles up to Naira and makes faces until she catches on that he wants to talk to her privately, smiling way too brightly until Dr. Snehal walks away. He admits to Naira that he lost his couple ring during surgery, and finally finds it in the scrub hamper next to them. He’s pretty adorable, but also seems like a giant doofus.

Naira wonders out loud to Dr. Disha how Dr. Snehal managed to get pregnant in the first place when they’re always working, and Dr. Disha just says that it’s a big hospital, ha. She asks if Naira has heard from Kartik again, but she hasn’t, and Dr. Disha wonders if he’s a spy. She catches Naira watching at his X-ray; Naira says it’s the only picture she has of him, and it makes her grin widely.
