I had last night given up Raja for dead. I was doing self-enquiry rather than think about him and have tears in my eyes.
Today, I drove around the other blocks, W, and the main road opposite Archana Cinema looking for him. But no luck. In the afternoon, I stepped out to get milk and there he was at the door, whining. I immediately fed him bread and milk. He was smelling of medicine. Yes, his hair had been snipped wherever there were bites and there was orange-ish medicine there. So some kind soul did take him to hospital. Later, I checked his ear and found that it had been snipped, so it seems he has been neutered as well. I did not turn him upside down to check for a incision, but looks like under his tail, under there is a vertical incision. Now it makes sense, he has been missing for 4-5 days, the time it would have taken for him to have been neutered.
Currently, the mother, although spayed is attracting a lot of attention so Raja was busy growling at them and trying to assert his dominance on them. I did not get much time for huggies and stuff.
Thank you, Lord, for taking care of him. How could I have lost faith in You.
