"aisa kuch nahi hua hai, aur jo kuch bhi hua woh galati se hua hai" Karishma quickly says with upset layer, & Haseena looks at Karishma with grumpy face & trembling lips, "mai hun witness, mere samne yeh sab hua hai", Divya quickly says, & Karishma frowns her eyes towards Divya..

"Cheetah" Haseena said in a low tone when she heard an end beeping sound, "rakh diya", & she got up from the couch, & held Divya's arm, & took her upstairs, & Haseena went into her room, while Divya went into the study room, & Karishma doesn't believe what happened there some moment ago..

With guts Karishma knocked on Haseena's room door, & wait for a moment & she did not get any reply, & she knocked on the door again, & this time she hear the knob unlocked sound, & take a deep breath, she peep in Haseena's room, & looks at Haseena, who stood near the bookshelf, "bhookh nahi lagi hai" Karishma asked softly..

Haseena thought for a moment, & asked, "Divya ka khaana hua"

"heel se kon maarne jaata hai, aur 23 saal ki hai, choti bacchi nahi hai, tum badi ho, humein pata hai, humein tumhari family matter mei bolne ka haq nahi hai, lekin tumhe samjhna chahiye, aur aram se baithkar bhi baat ho sakti hai" Haseena softly says, & Karishma nods a little, "kya ab hum khaana khaane jaa sakte hai"

"chalo", & Haseena kept the book on the bed, & they came out of the room, & Haseena asked, "Divya kaha par hai"

"ghar bhej diya, khaana hone ke baad", & Karishma looks at Haseena's cold eyes, "maa se baat huyi hai, woh kuch nahi bolenegi usse" Karishma quickly says look after Haseena's cold glare..

"woh chote bacchon ko padhne jaati hai, aur paise kum padte hai usse", & Karishma goes to open her mouth hear after Haseena's words, & Haseena quickly says, "usse nahi accha lag raha hai, tumse ya maa papa se paise lena, it's a good quality, humein usse baat ki hai, humari taraf se har mahine ek amount charity hoti hai, toh usse kaha hai humein saare bacchon ki information dene, taake woh sirf aapne padhai par dhayan de naa ke job par, toh aage se college poori tarah se attend ho", & Haseena looks at Karishma's soft smile, "kya hua" Haseena asked with stern voice, "nahi, kuch nahi" Karishma softly says, & Haseena pulls the chair for Karishma & walks towards her side, & take a seat on her chair, while Karishma stare at Haseena for a moment then, take a seat with a soft smile, & Haseena says, "aage aisa kuch bhi hota hai, toh please humare paas usse aane dijiye, at least hum usski baat sunn lege", "thik hai" Karishma softly says, & stole glance once of Haseena, with that she looks at Haseena, who quietly eating a food, without asking about meal..

Haseena cleaned the plates, while she looked at the cooker lying in the corner of the slab, "yeh yaha par kya kar raha hai", & Karishma looked at the cooker once & said, "khichdi ussmei hi toh banayi", & Haseena looks at Karishma with surprised eyes, & asked, "aur woh dahi, jhok wala dahi bhi ghar par bana hua tha"

"haan" Karishma casually says, "Divya ne banaya" Haseena asks again, "nahi" Karishma says softly..

"toh maa ya phir chief aa kar gaye" Haseena asked with curiosity..

"maine banaya hai, itni raat ko unnhe kiu mai bulaungi" Karishma says with a little irked face..

"how" Haseena throws another question, "what do you mean how, maa ko video call kiya aur basic pata hai mujhe, jaise dal, chawal kaise dikhte hai, toh maa ki madad se bana liya" Karishma high pitched tone turns down word by word, & a healthy pin dropped silence spread in the kitchen, & Haseena smiles softly & says, "accha bana tha khaana, aisa bana sakti ho, tumhare din par, agar mann ho toh", & Karishma nods a little, & asked, "kya tumhe papers mile", & smiles fed away from Haseena's lips, & she says, "humein kya pata tumne kaha par rakh diye, tum hi jaao", & she dry her hands, & walks out of the kitchen, & Karishma walks behind Haseena, "lekin mai lekar hi nahi gayi thi"

"wahi toh bol rahe hai, humein nahi pata hai, aur humein dekha bhi nahi" & Haseena took a step towards the stairs, & looked at Karishma once, who with full confusion opened the drawer, to check out the papers, & Haseena takes a relief breath & says, "good night", & Karishma looks at Haseena with a faint smile, "good night"..
