Rishi was able to fully recover in just a few days, but he still had to wait for a complete week as the doctor wanted to make sure there was no hidden injury on his body. He stuttered about runes all day. Kajal would come to meet him at night, but that all changed when she came last night. She told him she was going into seclusion and would be unable to meet him for a long time.
At first, Rishi was unwilling, but when he looked at her determined expression and his promise to her, he let her go. He couldn't become a hurdle in her life and stop her from doing what she wanted, and now suddenly he was all alone again.
