Karishma enters the hospital. She is painting heavily as her breaths get abnormal by running. She sees Haseena crying bitterly sitting on a chair in front of the 'operation theater'. Shivani and Cheetah are consoling her. Anubhav and Neil are standing near the door of the operation theatre.

Karishma comes near Neil and Anubhav. They both look at her. She asks to Neil, "Kya hua hain, Neil? Haseena itna ro kyun rahi hain? Kya hua hain kuch toh batayiye..."

Neil calmly answers her, "Karu, woh jab Haseena ki Ammi dopahar mein Haseena ke Abbu ke mazar par phool chadhane gayi thi tab kisi ne unn par goliyan chala di."

"Kya?" Karishma is stunned after hearing this. She can't believe her ears. She looks at Haseena who is not in a state to understand something or say anything. She slowly takes her steps towards Haseena. She sits in front of her on her knees. 

Holding Haseena's hand, Karishma says, "Haseena... Haseena, hume pata hain... hume pata hain ki iss samay aapse kuch bhi kehna thik nahi hoga. Par phir bhi bas itna kehna chahte hain ki aap please aise royiye mat. Hum aapki Ammi ko jaante hain. Woh aapki Ammi hain. Bahadur Haseena ki bahadur Ammi. Unhe kuch nahi hoga. Yakeen kijiye. Agar aap hi aise himmat haaregi toh unhe kaise sambhalegi aap? Shant ho jaayiye Haseena..."

Haseena doesn't say anything. She looks at Karishma. Karishma wipes her tears and adds, "Khud ko sambhaliye, Haseena. Aapki Ammi bilkul thik ho jaayegi."

She passes a small smile to her. Haseena doesn't smile back but she stops crying. 

After hearing this news, Pushpa ji too wants to come to the hospital but Anubhav doesn't let her come as he doesn't want her to take so much tension, and secondly, she also has to look after Santu when nobody is in the home. 

A few hours pass,
The doctor comes out of the 'operation theatre' unmasking his face. Everyone gets up and asks him about Ammi's health. 

Haseena asks in a shaky voice, "Doctor... Doctor..., humari Ammi... Woh... Woh thik ho jaayegi naa...?" The fear of losing her mother is clearly audible in her voice. 

The doctor replied in a calm tone, "Miss Malik, your mother is out of danger now. Ghabrane wali koi baat nahi hain abhi."

Everyone gets a sigh of relief. Haseena's condition gets a bit better. Finally, she breathes the air of relaxation. 

The doctor continued, "Par haan, unke body mein se khoon bahut beh chuka hain. Iss wajah se woh kamzor ho gayi hain. Aapko unka bahut khayal rakhna hoga. Philhaal woh behosh hain. Kuch waqt lagega unhe hosh mein aane ke liye. And agle 24 ghante tak unhe under observation rakhna hoga. Phir dekhte hain ki aap unhe ghar le jaa sakti hain ya phir aur kuch din unhe hospital mein hi rakhna chahiye."

Haseena nods, "Ji doctor. Thank you so much for saving my Ammi. Kya... Kya hum unke paas baith sakte hain."

"Sure... Par unhe dusre room mein shift karne ke baad. Tab tak aap bhi thoda rest kar lijiye."

The doctor goes.

It's night. 
Only Anubhav is staying with Haseena. He has sent everyone to their homes. Shivani and Cheetah insist him to stay there but he convinces them that he will take care of Haseena. Shivani and Cheetah go to Cheetah's home as Shivani is so scared after this incident. Neil and Karishma also go to home. 

Haseena is sitting beside her Ammi holding her hand and putting her head on the bed. Actually, Haseena has cried a lot today that she gets so tired. After cutely complaining to her unconscious Ammo like a small child, she falls in the sleep. 

Anubhav comes with a packet of food. He puts the food packet on the table and goes near Haseena. 

Softly placing his palm on her shoulder, he says, "Haseena ji..."

She doesn't wake up. He slowly shakes her shoulder and again calls her, "Haseena ji uthiye."

Haseena slowly wakes up. She looks at him with the half sleepy eyes. She clears her hair. 

He says, "Bhojan laaye the aapke liye. Chaliye thoda kha lijiye."

She looks down and replies, "Thanks, par hume bhook nahi hain. Aap... Aap kha lijiye."

He sighs and holds her hand. He takes her to the sofa and makes her sit. He too sits beside her. He starts unpacking the food. 

She again says, "Humne kaha na ki hume bhook nahi hain."

He serves the food on two plates of plastic. He looks at her and answers calmly, "Bhook toh hume bhi nahi hain. Parantu aapko akela na lage iss liye hum abhi aapke saath kha rahe hain naa..."

"Par hume nahi khana hain. Hume nahi lagi bhook" She again says in a bit irritated voice.

He looks at her and says calmly, "Haseena ji, dekhiye, hum koi aapko apni baaton se pakana nahi chahte. Iss samay aap jo sehan kar rahi hain hum samajh sakte hain. Kuch varsh pehle humne bhi aise hi kuch ghatna ka anubhav kiya hain."

Haseena looks at him painfully. She knows what he is talking about. She can feel his pain. And because of this he too knows and feels her pain. Her eyes again get wet. 

He continues, "Haseena ji, hum bakiyon ki tarah aapko dhairya dene wale vachan nahi keh sakte. Kyun ki hume gyaat hain ki aisi paristhiti mein aapka hriday kis peeda ki anubhuti karta hain. Parantu Haseena ji, iss tarah se swayam ko kasht dene se toh aapki Ammi thik nahi ho jaayegi naa. Aise swayam ko peeda mat dijiye, Haseena ji..."

Haseena is just looking at him. Tears roll down to her cheek. He looks into her eyes. After a few seconds losing in his eyes, she quickly hugs him. He is so shocked by her sudden action. He doesn't expect that. She starts to cry loudly. Her face is hidden into his chest. He doesn't know what to do. He slowly raises his hands in the air. He is confused about whether he should hug her or not. He wraps his arms around her with great difficulty. 

She says while crying, "Humara... Humara iss duniya mein humari Am...Ammi ke alawa koi nahi hain. Agar unhe kuch ho jaata toh hum... hum jee...te ji marr jaate. Hum apni Ammi ko nahi khona chahte. Hu...Hum unse bahut pyaar karte hain. Hum nahi reh paayenge unke bina. Woh... Woh..."

"Haseena ji, shant. Dekhiye aapki Ammi thik ho jaayegi" Anubhav says to calm her but she again says, "Kaise shant rahe hum, Mr. Singh? Aaj agar aap Ammi ko time se hospital nahi laate toh pata nahi kya ho jaata. Hum aapke bahut ehsaanmand hain aapke. Thank you, Mr. Singh. Aapne humari Ammi ki nahi balki humari jaan bachayi hain."

Anubhav rubs her back and replies, "Haseena ji, aise royiye mat. Dekhiye sab thik ho jaayega. Aap royiye mat. Kal jab aapki Ammi sachet hongi toh kya unhe yeh achchha lagega ki aap unke kaaran aise royi hain. Humare liye na sahi, swayam ke liye na sahi, apitu apni Ammi ke liye chup ho jaayiye."

Haseena stops crying and raises her head to see him. Both are lost in each other's eyes. Suddenly they hear the sound of someone arguing outside that room. It makes them to come back to the real world. They realize their position. They quickly get separated and sit properly maintaining some distance. It becomes a little awkward for them to talk now. 

Finally, Anubhav breaks the silence and says clearing his throat, "Bhojan kar lijiye, Haseena ji. Aapki Ammi ko yeh bhi achchha nahi lagega ki unke kaaran unki beti ne kuch nahi khaya."

Haseena still doesn't respond to him. He takes a small morsel of daal and roti and takes it to her. She quietly eats it. She says, "Aap bhi lijiye." He nods and they start to eat dinner. 

After dinner, Anubhav and Haseena are sitting on the couch. The room is filled with silence. Something hits in Haseena's mind. 

She looks Anubhav and asks him, "Ek baat puchhe aapse, Mr. Singh?"

He eyes at her and replies, "Ji puchhiye..."

"Aapko kaise pata chala ki humari Ammi par humla hua hain. Aur aap humare Abbu ke mazar par kya kar rahe the uss waqt jab Ammi par yeh humla hua?"

Anubhav is stunned after hearing this question. He doesn't know how to answer her about this. He doesn't have words to say anything. 

"Woh... Hum... Haseena ji woh..." he is fumbling to reply to her while she is waiting for his answer. At the same time, his mobile rings. He gets a sigh of relief. He takes his mobile and says, "Hum abhi aate hain."

"Sure" Haseena nods. 

He gets up and comes near the door of that room. The call is from one of his men. He picks it up, "Bolo"

"KYAAA" Anubhav screams when he hears the news that his man shares with him. Haseena is also scared by his voice. She gets up and goes to him.

She asks him, "Kya hua, Mr. Singh? Aap aise chillaye kyun?"

He looks at her with an expressionless face. Her heart is beating a bit faster. 

Is she ready to hear the news?

Dear friends, 

I know I made you wait for so long. I apologize for that yaar... I am extremely sorry. But what could I do yaar? Job, padhaai aur kalesh, in sabse fursat hi nahi mil rahi hain.

Ab toh isse bhi zyada late hoga next part ke liye. Uske liye pehle se hi sorry bol deti hoon. Assignments aur Exams ne philhaal mujhe apni aagosh jakad rakha hain. Iss liye thoda sa zyada time lagega ap kisi bhi update ke liye. Par haan main yeh nahi keh rahi hoon ki main kuch dino ke liye main likhna hi chhod de rahi hoon. No. Aisa nahi hain. Because writing is a way for me to make myself feel fresh and calm from these hectic works. So, likhti toh rahungi, Par update thoda kam karungi. I hope you understand.

Lots of love.
