What If???

Chapter 11

Kairav's Kite Fell Down.

Kartik:- I Will Go And Bring The Kite Back, Beta.

Kairav:- It Is Okay, Papa. Let It Go.

Kartik:- No, Beta. Don't Be Sad. I'll Bring That Kite Back. You'll Get Whatever You Need. Nobody Can Take Anything From You. Remember This. Your Papa Is Here.

Kartik Runs Chasing The Kite. Everyone Asks Him To Stop. But, Kartik Didn't Listen To Anyone. Manish Goes Near Kairav.

Kairav:- Dadu, Why Doesn't Papa Listen To Anyone? Why Has He Changed So Much?

Kartik Finally Catches The Kite. Kartik Recalls Kairav Telling That It Has His Message.

Kartik:- Kairav. Meri Bacha.

It Was Night, Akshu Was In Her Baby Cot. Kairav Was Playing With Akshu. Kartik Comes And Gives Kairav His Kite. Kairav Keeps The Kite Aside.

Kairav:- Papa, Show Me Your Hand.

Kartik:- Why?

Kairav:- You're Hurt, Aren't You?

Kartik:- Here.

Kartik Shows Kairav His Hand. Kairav Applies Oilment To Kartik.  Kairav Sees His Kite And The Message He Had Written On It. Kairav Has Written I Love You Mumma. Really Missing You On The Paper.

Kairav:- Mumma Must've Read My Message, Right?

Kartik:- Of Course. She Must've Read It. Does Anything Escape From Your Mumma's Eyes. Do You Remember We Used To Make Special Cards For Her On Her Birthday And Hide It Under Her Pillow? Even Then She Used To Know There's Something Under Her Pillow.

Kairav:- Yes.

Kartik:- Kairav Beta, Can We Sleep?

Kairav:- Papa, I Have A Demand.

Kartik:- Yes, Go Ahead. Anything.

Kairav:- Can I Go To Play On That Bigger Park?

Kartik:- No, Beta. Don't Play On That Ground. Those Big Boys Play There Are Very Notorious. I've Seen Them. They Play Rough. Let's Go To That Ground Near Our House. I'll Take You There. We'll Play Football Together. It'll Be Fun. Mark My Words. 

Kairav Hugs Kartik. Manish Was Standing Near The Door Hearing Their Conversation.

Manish:- The Son Hides His Pain From His Father And Father Hides It From His Son. And I Can't Do Anything Even After Being The Father's Father.

Kartik Makes Kairav Sleep. Kairav Slept After Few Minutes. Kartik Slowly Removes Kairav's Specs And Keeps It On The Side Table. He Sees The Kite.

Next Day,

Kairav Was Drawing Their Family Photo In Which Naira, Kartik, Kairav And Akshu Was There. He Shows It To Akshu And Akshu Smiles Seeing It.

On The Otherside,

Naksh Was Talking To Someone.

Naksh:- The Five Lakh That I Gave You Were On Naira's Behalf. And Do Let Me Know If You Need Anything.

Naksh Cuts The Call And Sees A Dream Catcher. He Remembers Naira. Kriti Comes There.

Kriti:- The Income Is Low, Why Are We Donating Such Big Amounts? If This Continues, We'll Suffer A Great Loss, Naksh.

Naksh:- We Will? We Have Suffered It Long Ago, Kriti. I Lost My Maa And My Behan. Can There Be A Loss Bigger Than That?

Kriti:- Naksh. I Was Just Talking About The Funds..
