Santosh and Karishma reached the house... but at the door, they found Haseena already there with her arms crossed waiting for them. Karishma quickly hides her hand behind.

"m...maddam sir.." she fumbled looking at her...

"kahan sa aa rahi hain aap dono??" she asked

"maddam sir, Karishma madam ke hath me ch..chot...chot lagi hai....mai first aid le kar aati hoon.." Santosh said getting tensed and rushed inside.

Haseena's expressions suddenly changed..... she looked at her and pulled her hand out from her back..... "k...karishma.... ye...ye kaise hua.... aap...aap....kaise...." she said dragging her inside while tears had already formed in her eyes...

Santosh brought the first aid box and handed it to Haseena..... she immediately pulled out the cotton and began cleaning her wound..... all others came out of their rooms.....

"he Bhagwan ye kya hua???" Pushpa Singh asked worriedly while all others joined her. anubhav went and sat beside her holding her hand

"kitni laparwah hain aap...zara sa akela kya chhod dia aapko...ye karwa liya....thoda sa bhi khyal nahi rakh sakti hain khud ka?? dhyan kahan rehta hai aapka" Haseena scolded her while she herself was in tears....

"kaise lagi ye? batayengi ab?" Anubhav said in a strict and concerned tone

"aahhhhh!! ssss!!" Karishma hissed in pain

"boht dard ho raha hai??" Haseena asked in a soft yet worried tone to which Karishma nodded

"maddam sir aap...aap roiye mat...please" Karishma said

"lekin santuji e sab hua kaise...aur aap dono gayi kaha thi??" Cheetah asked

"hum dono night walk par gaye the...tabhi achank ek aadmi bhagte huye aaya aur karishma madam se takra gaya..aur isse pehle hum use pakad paate..bhag gaya.... uske baad maine karishma madam ke haath me ye cut notice kia...shyd vo kuch sharp cheez liye hua tha jisse ye hua" Santosh told

"jab sadak me chalna nai aata hai to pata nahi kyu chalte hain ye log" PS execrated the man

Haseena was about to say just then Santosh noticed something "Karishma madam...aapki wrist watch kahan gayi?? jaate waqt to aapke haath me thi??"

Karishma looked at her hand and said with confusion "shyd vahi par gir gayi hogi!!"

"maddam sir mai kuch bolu??" billu said from nowhere and Cheeta raised his eyebrows. "maddam sir ye to us killer ke kaam krne ke tareeke jaisa nahi lag rha?? mtlb jaisa Sir ne bataya tha pehle haath me cut aur ghadi bhi gayab" he added and everyone looked at him in shock.... unable to believe. "nai mtlb mai bss guess kar raha tha...I am sorry" he said

"iska matlb uska agla target..... karishma madam..." Santu said getting scared

"kuch bhi bole jaa rahi hai aap Santosh Sharma.... Karishma koi target nahi h.....kuch nahi hoga inhe" Haseena shrugged her off in a cold tone

"maddam sir agar aisa hai toh firr humara pass usko pakadne ka golden chance hai" KS said..while anubhav was quite....trying to process the things

"chup rahiye aap...dimag kharab hai aapka?? aap kahin nahi jayengi..." Haseena scolded her. "Santosh, Cheetah.... close all the doors and windows right now. Sir, we need strict security... call the force and ask them to reach here asap. " she almost ordered

"maddam sir ye aap ka keh rahi hain..hum police wale hain.... humara kaam logo ko security dena hai.... aise khud ke liye force bulwayenge to ka ijjat reh jayega hamara.."Karishma interrupts her......

"Karishma Singh hum aapki jaan ka risk nahi le sakte hain....vo ek sanki aadmi hai aur kuch bhi kar sakta hai" Anubhav said

"Haan bilkul sahi bol rahe hain DSP sir aur Haseena madam.... aapko jada superwoman banne ki koi zarurat nahi hai....humare lalla ka khayal hai ki nai aapko??" PS scolded her

"arre aap sab samjhne ka koshish kijiye.... kuch nahi hoga humko....vo topa aadmi hamara baal bhi baanka nai kar sakta".

"aap hamare saath room me chaliye..."Haseena said strictly and dragged her to the room, leaving all others in the hall, surprised. ....she locked the room from inside.... "ab aap yaha rahengi... hmari aakhon ke saamne...! hum aapko apni nazron se door hi nahi karenge.... samjhi aap!"

"Par maddam sir..."

"Aap shaant rahiye....aur yaha se kahi jaane ki koshish bhi ki toh humse bura koi nahi hoga" she shouted on her

"Haseena hum koi Qaidi nhi h... Tabse dekh rahe hn sab k sab hum par savaar ho gaye hain... Chillaye pade hn hum par.... Hmara ka galti h isme.... Bataiye??...humne ka kia"Karishma got annoyed

"Karishma singh aap... Aap hume maaf kr dijiye...humara hi qasoor h... Aapko nai jaane dena chahiye tha" she said and burst out crying

Karishma hugged her tightly..."Haseena... Relax... Aap... Please... Dekhiye na hum kahi nhi jaa rahe... Shaant ho jaiye"

Haseena hugged her back "karishma, aap jaanti hn na... Hum aapke bina nhi reh payenge...aur..aur ...aapne humse promise kia tha ki sabhi safe lautenge.... Yaad rakhiyega use!!!" She said sobbing

The night was somehow passed by everyone... No one had gone to their rooms...there was no sign of sleep in anyone's eyes... They all were praying for the well being of karishma... Anubhav had tighten the security... While karEena were locked in the room... haseena was holding her in her arms whole night as if she will disappear overnight with her blink...

It's 8 in the morning and Haseena hadn't left Karishma. Anubhav knocked the door of their room..

Haseena got up to open the door holding her hand

"Haseena ji...is tarah karishma singh ko sambhaal kar mat rakhiye... Hum sab hain unke saath... Please kuch khaa lijiye aa kar" AS said

"Hume bhook nahi h sir..."she said

"Magar hume toh hai...aur aap bhi chaliye Haseena..."karishma said

She somehow dragged everyone to the dining table... No one had any interest in having something.... But she forced everyone to eat...

"Hum jaante hain aap sab boht pareshan hn aur aap me se koi bhi nahi soya hai.... Magar aap log hmara baat smjhiye.... mauka khud chal kar hmare paas aaya hai... Anu bhaiya, maddam sir... Aapko nai lgta ki hume usko pakdne ka koi plan banana chahiye... Kal agar usne signal dia h to iska mtlb h ki vo aaj hum par attack zaroor karega... Tab hum usko pakad skte hain!!" Karishma tried to explain

"Karishma singh, hume nhi pata vo kbb aata hai aur kahan se aata h... Lekin kitni bhi tight security k baad bhi vo......."anubhav's words froze at tracks and eyes became watery

"Nhi sir, hum hamari karishma ko khud protection denge... Use karishma tak pahuchne se pehle hamara saamna karna padega" haseena said

"Hum bhi!!" All others said

"Aane do usko... Usne abhi tak karishma singh ka bhaukal nhi dekha h... Aisa haalat krenge na uska.. ki paida hone pe bhi afsos karega" she said confidently

Karishma forwarded her hand and all others joined with hers...
