Karishma came out of her room & yawn hard, & Haseena looked at her & says, "good morning", & Karishma yawned again & says, "morning", & she checked Haseena with open eyes, & asked, "kahi par jaa rahi ho, aur office toh tum, parso jaane wali thi, phir abhi kaha par jaa rahi ho"

"Divs call me" Haseena says with a smile, while Karishma stare at Haseena with confusion, "Divya, I called her Divs", "sar par mat chadhao, sar par nachne lagegi, baata rahi hun" Karishma says in warning tone, "hum sambhal lege, bas tumhari tarah usske piche heels lekar nahi bhagenge, samjhi", "feel so embarrassed, please don't remind me that incident, feel so bad" Karishma says in pleading tone, "okay, hum usske saath uss basti mei jaa rahe hai, humein nahi jaana tha, but waha ke log humse milna chahte hai, kiu ki humein unnke bacchon ki padhai ka kharcha uthya hai iss liye, aur kuch nahi, toh ab hum nikalte hai", & Haseena get up from the couch, & quickly turned, "yeh baat kisi ko bhi pata nahi chalni chahiye, humein publicity pasand nahi hai", & Karishma nods yes, & Haseena show her thumbs up, & goes towards the house door, & Karishma quickly says, "ghar par aana lunch ek saath karnge, aur mujhe kuch jaruri baat karni hai tumse", & Haseena stare at Karishma with seriousness, & Karishma quickly says, "mere naye project ke baare mei baat hai"

"humein koi problem nahi hai, tumhare kaam se" Haseena says casually, "aage ho sakti hai" Kaishma quickly says, & Haseena goes to open her mouth but her cell rings with the flashing name Divya, "hum jaldi aate hai baat karne ke liye", & Karishma nods a little, & Haseena take a leave..

Karishma was reading her next project script, when the doorbell rang, & confused by the doorbell ring, & she whispered to herself, "aaj keys lekar nahi gayi" & she opened the door, & found Ayaan on the door, & she went to shut the door, but he stops it quickly, "please, please, please, don't do that, please, mujhe baat karni hai tumse, please", & he held the door in his both hands, & push the door, & Karishma stop pushing from inside, & stood on the doorstep, "please mujhe baat karni hai tumse"

"kya baat karni hai" Karishma asked with intense eyes, "kya hum andar chalkar baat kar sakte hai"

"meri wife ghar par nahi hai, aur mai anjaan logo ko ghar ke andar leti nahi hun, toh aap jaa sakte hai" Karishma says with crossed arms, & Ayaan softly smile, & says, "mujhe pata hai tum naraz ho, aur jab naraz hoti ho tab, tum aise hi hands ko cross karke khadi hoti ho, taake tumhare emotions samne wale ko pata naa chale, please mujhe ek mauka toh do, aapni baat rakhne ka" he pleads through eyes..

Karishma stared at him, & she nodded no, "tum jaa sakte ho", & she went to close the door, & he put his hand in between, & his fingers hurt from the door edge, he winced in pain, "Ayaan" Karishma says in an upset tone, & she holds his hand in her, & let him entered the house, & made his seat on a couch, & runs towards the gym room, to bring first aid box..

"bhabh's" Divya calls Haseena, who seat in the car quietly, & Divya does not get any response from Haseena, & she calls her again, but no response from her, & Divya does not call Haseena again in a thought, that she must be tired..

Karishma applies ointment on Ayaan's finger, & he stares at her with a soft gaze, & Karishma looks at him once, & stops applying ointment & gets up & says, "jaa sakte ho yaha se"

"ek baar meri baat toh sunno", "mujhe pata hai, sab kuch dekh chuki hun, uss newspaper mei, tumhara woh contract, tumhare uss contract ke clauses, sab kuch padh chuki hun, toh ab jaao, aur mujhe meri life mei khush rehne do, go" Karishma says stern tone..

"woh sab sach nahi hai, mai manta hun, woh contract sach hai, lekin usske woh claused, woh adhe sach hai, usse change kiya tha, mere kehne par, mai sach baata raha hun, meri baat par yakeen karo, please, aur Haseena kuch bhi kar sakti hai, usse bas attention chahiye hota hai, usse mujhe haarne mei maza aata hai, aur woh usske liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai, kuch bhi, please, trust me once, please", but Karishma did not response to him, & he takes a leave..

Haseena pressed her neck with her tired breath, & rested her head with closed eyes, & her cell beeped, & tiredly she looked at her cell, & checked out the new message, & found a selfie of Ayaan at her apartment entrance gate, & nodded a little with a swallowed hard, & lock her cell, & get busy with the work..

Karishma dialled the number of Divya, & directly asked about Haseena, "kaha par ho tum doono, abhi tak ghar par nahi aaye ho, sab thik toh hai waha par"

"hum doono, you mean to say bhabh's, woh mere saath nahi hai", "tumhare saath nahi hai matlab, tumhare saath hi gayi thi na" Karishma asked worriedly, "haan, hum doono saath mei hi the, lekin unnhe koi urgent call aaya, ghar aate waqt, aur woh office chali gayi" Divya casually says..

"thik hai" & before Divya could ask anything Karishma cut the call, & dialled the number of Haseena, but she did not pick up, & at the same time Karishma star at the door, & Haseena entered with a faint smile, "humein der ho gayi, maaf karna humein"

"koi baat nahi, fresh ho kar aao, hum lunch karte hai ek saath", & Haseena stared at Karishma for a moment, & Karishma asked again, "lunch karke aayi ho"

"nahi, nahi, woh bas hum thode thakk gaye hai, bas uss wajah se bhookh nahi lagi hai", Haseena says hesitantly, "oh" Karishma sadly says, & Haseena looks at that sad eyes, & says, "thoda aram karke aate hai hum, phir kar sakte hai lunch" & Haseena check the time, & says, "abhi 1 baja hai, kya tum 3 baje tak ruk sakti ho", "tum thik nahi lag rahi ho, kuch hua hai" Karishma asked softly..

Haseena stared at Karishma & said in her head, "haan, humein kya tum sach baata sakti ho, woh kiu aaya tha yaha par", "huh, kuch hua hai" Karishma asked again, & Haseena comes out of her thoughts & nods no, & Karishma takes a step towards Haseena, "can I", Karishma asked a permission, & Haseena stares at Karishma confusingly, & Karishma keeps her palm on Haseena's forehead, & Haseena confused by Karishma's act, & Karishma murmured, "bukhar nahi hai, kuch tension hai" & she looks at Haseena with upset layer, "no, no, nahi, aisa kuch nahi hai, bas andar se kuch sahi nahi lag raha hai", Haseena says softly..

"haan toh subhe se kuch khaaya nahi hai, upar se waha par Divya ne chai ya phir coffee pila di hogi, uss wajah se acidity huyi hogi, dekho upar jaao, fresh ho jaao, aur neech aao, hum doono lunch kar rahe hai abhi, & it's not an order, it's a humble request" Karishma softly says, & Haseena stare at Karishma for a moment, & shook her head, & walks upstairs..

"tumhe baatana hoga Karishma, aise chupa nahi sakti, aur galat kuch hua nahi hai, aur naa tumne kiya hai, agar kisi aur se pata chala toh jo trust build ho raha hai, woh shuru hone se pehle hi khatam hoga" & Karishma stop her inner battel, & looks at Haseena, who walks in dinning room in her shorts & lose tees, & shares a faint smile, & Karishma says, "khaana khaane ke baad soo jaana taake tumhe aram mile", & Haseena nods a little, & she goes to served herself a food plate, & Karishma forward the full plate of food, & she looks at Karishma & accept the food plate, & mimes thank you, & Karishma take a seat in front of Haseena, & she looks at Haseena once, who eat first bite of rice, & Karishma tight her fist, & says in a low tone, "woh actually tumse baat karni hai", & Haseena stop eating & stare at Karishma, & Karishma looks at Haseena, & says, "please gussa mat karna aur tension bhi mat lena, mujhe darr lagta hai, jab tumhare nose bleed karne lagta hai tab", & Haseena softly stare at Karishma, & nods a little, & Karishma narrate the whole incident happened between her & Ayaan, & after Karishma end her side story, Haseena picked up her cell, & forward her cell to Karishma, & Karishma looks the selfie of Ayaan, which was he clicked at outside of the apartment, & Karishma looks at Haseena & asked, "iss wajah se bhookh nahi lag rahi thi", "abhi bhookh lag rahi hai, khaane do humein", & quietly Haseena complete her food, with extra food served by Karishma, & that too she didn't opposed, & that gives a happiness to Karishma..

Haseena yawns hard, & Karishma looks at her from the couch, which she lying on it with her script, & Karishma says, "pet bhar khaaya hai, toh jaake soo jaao naa", & Haseena looks at Karishma once from her book, & says, "tum jaha par soo rahi ho, woh jagah baithne ki hai naa ke soone ki, aur humein issye poora karna hai", & Karishma looks at the book cover page, with intense eyes, & says, "jo book tum padh rahi ho na, woh chote bacche padhte hai"

Haseena check the book cover page, & says, "harry potter, aur harry potter sab bacchon ka hero tha, hai aur humesha rahega, aur issmei koi age nahi hoti hai", "tumhe minature key chains, soft toys key chains, aur stars, aur yeh books pasand hai, comics ka bhi bhandar dekha maine", & Haseena looks at Karishma with stern eyes, "tum bina humare permission se kaise humare study room mei jaa sakti ho"

"tum Divya ko bhej sakti ho, lekin mujhe kiu nahi", "kiu ki humein nahi pasand hai" Haseena firmly says..

"toh shaadi kiu ki, maana kar deti uss waqt" Karishma quickly says, & Haseena closes the book, & started to stare with a soft gaze, & Karishma quickly realized it, & says, "sorry"

"it's all right, jawab dete hai, uss waqt humare paas option tha, naa bolne ka, aur hum bole bhi the, lekin uss waqt Mr. Gunj ki wajah se humein haan kaha" & Karishma share a strange looks, & Haseena quickly continue, "I know it's little strange as well as werid, lekin unnke liye humare dil mei soft corner hai, ammi aur abbu ka divorce hone ke baad hum Mr. Gunj se mile the, tab na humare school mei saare baccho ke school bag par woh different, different types ke keychain lage huye hote the, humein bhi chahiye the, abbu se keh nahi sakte the, kiu ki woh chilana jante the, aur ammi ko kabhi unnke raja bete se fursat nahi milti thi, aur humein uss waqt kuch bacche bully kiya karte the, kabhi school se ghar jaate waqt ya phir school mei jaate waqt, aur shayad tab Mr. Gunj ne woh dekha tha, aur dusre hi din woh bully hona band hua tha, aur unnhone humein bina koi baat kahe woh keychain lakar diye the, shayad tab se unnke liye soft corner hai, humse khud ki beti samjhkar pyar karte hai, lekin hum, humare gusse ki wajah se unnhe bhi dur karte hai, kiu ki humein unnka pyar bhi bheekh lagta hai"

Karishma nodded a little, & asked, "toh tum yeh sab tumhara bacchpan jee rahi ho"

"haan, bahot si aisi chizein hai, jo kabhi uss umar mei huyi hi nahi, jis umar mei honi chahiye, school ke waqt parents ka jhagda, divorce, phir ek parent ki shaadi aur unnka ignore karna, aur ek parent ko financially doobte huye dekhna, aur college mei jaane ke baad bas padhai karna, kiu ki scholarship chahiye, bahot si chizein miss huyi, toh ab sab kuch naa sahi lekin jitna set hua hai, ussmei hi hum uss waqt ko jee lete hai, jaise ke keychains, comic books, harry potter series" & Haseena faintly smiled, & she looks at Karishma, who stare at Haseena with a soft smile, "jawab mila tumhe, kya hum aage continue kar sakte hai" Haseena ask with a smile, & Karishma nods a little, & Haseena go back to her book, & Karishma quickly shout, "nahi, nahi, ruko", Haseena starling by Karishma's high pitched, & she look at Karishma, who runs towards her at balcony, & Haseena make a place for Karishma, & Karishma take a seat, & says, "jaruri baat karna bhool gayi", & Haseena nods a little, "woh mera next project start hone wala hai"

"baataya tumne humein, subhe hi, aur humein koi problem nahi hai" Haseena says casually, "haan, lekin mera next project" & Karishma gulped her dry throat, & says in a low tone, "Ayaan ke saath hai" & Haseena stare at Karishma for a moment, & Karishma says, "kya mai yeh project chod dun"

"are we in one team" Haseena asked in a low tone..

"huh" Karishma looked at Haseena with a blank mind, "are we in one team" Haseena repeated her question, & Karishma did not replay, "dekho, future ka naa tumhe pata hai, aur naa humein, toh abhi ka waqt sochkar jawab do" Haseena says softly..

"we are a team" Karishma quickly says, before take any pause, & Haseena smiles, "jab humein woh photo mila tha, tab humein laga ke tumse puche, ke yeh yaha par kya karne aaya hai, lekin humein aisa kuch kiya nahi yeh sochkar ke humein koi adhikar nahi hai, lekin tumne khud se jab woh sab kuch baataya tab humein bahot jaada khushi huyi, aur tab humein laga ke hum ek team hai" & they shares a smile, "tum jaao, tumhe jitne bhi project usske saath karna hai karo, humein pata hai, woh kuch na kuch karta hi rahega, hum duniya ke samne kaise bhi kiu na ho lekin iss ghar mei ek team hai" & Karishma nods yes, "toh tumhe sunna padega, mere poore din ke baare mei, aur koi rumours sunne mei aaye aur tumhe usska clearfy sunna ho toh sidha mujhse baat kar sakti ho, ya phir sidha bol bhi sakti ho, ke tumhe yeh nahi pasand aaya" & Haseena nods yes, & asked, "toh ab padhe, humein khatam karna hai issye" & quickly Karishma squeeze Haseena's cheeks, & runs towards the couch, & lays down, & here Haseena stare at Karishma with a mixed emotions..
