it's 10 pm.... everyone was there in the hall... surrounding Karishma... while Haseena was feeding her something.....

"maddam sir bas ho gaya ab nahi khana hai" she said

"Haseena ji 10- 11 pm ke beech me hi......" Anubhav wanted to say the timing of the arrival of the killer... they all were giving courage to each other and were hoping for everything good but inside they all were frightened.... If they'll be able to save her or not.... They can't afford to lose her at any cost.

while everyone else was talking about safety and security and was worried..... Karishma quietly walked to her room...away from the frightened faces... and closed the door from inside... she pulled out her pistol from the drawer....

Cheetah noticed Karishma is missing from her place..."maddam sir... Karishma madam kahan gayi..." before anyone of them could react.... they heard a sound of a blast from outside... "Karishma " they said in a fearful tone... their hearts were beating at a very fast pace... they all immediately rushed out of the house...

but they found nothing...they went a little distance from the house....there was no sign of any blast "Karishma Singh.....!!" Anuseena shouted...

"Sir... yaha par toh kuch nahi hai... kahi karishma madam andarr to nahi....!!" Santosh said...

"jaldi chaliye!!" Haseena said ....and they hurried back ...as they went near the house, it suddenly caught fire... Cheetah saw a man running from there.... "Sir...u dekhiye koi bhaag raha hai... shyd ye wahi hai...."

"Sir aap aur cheeta usko pakadiye jaa kar" Haseena said

"haseena ji..kya bol rahi hain aap.... humari behen andar aag me phasi hui hai...hum unko bachane jayenge."

"sir karishma singh ko hum le kar aate hain....aap use pakadiye jaa kar...!!" she said

"Haseena ji hamari Behen ko sahi salamat le kar aaiyega....hume aap par poora bharosa hai" Anubhav said and they had eye contact. "ji sir ! Bharosa kayam rahega"

***************

Inside the house,

Karishma was in the bathroom when she heard the blast... She got scared and hurried outside the room... There was no one in the hall... She was about to go outside but the whole house catches fire all of a sudden... The fire was so rapid that she couldn't even go near the door... In no time she was surrounded by the rising flames... Everything was burning so rapidly.... She tried to went back to the room but it was not possible... She somehow entered the kitchen but there was no exit... The door of the kitchen catched fire too...

********

Haseena kicked the door to open it...as she was about to enter ...someone held her wrist... She turned in frustration...."katrina aunty" she said... Katrina handed her a blanket for her safety... She nodded and blinked...

Haseena entered inside.... "Karishma singhhh!!" She shouted but no response in return.... She penetrate more inside the fire shouting her name continuously.... "Kahan h aap karishma singh... Ya khuda unki hifazat krna"

She didn't find her in the hall... Somehow she reached inside their room... "Karishma singhh" she shouted but no one was there... One by one she checked every rooms of the house... Her arms and legs had partial burnt marks...

"Karishma singh kahin nhi mil rahi" she was at verge of crying but suddenly she heard some sound from the kitchen... She ran to the kitchen and kicked the door and found karishma sitting with the support of the platform...she had minor burnt marks...and was surrounded by the fire.. Coughing badly.... "Karishmaaa" she shouted

Karishma looked at her.... "Maddam sir... Maddam sirr aap yahan kahe aayi hain.... Andar mat aaiyega... Boht jada aag hai yaha pe" she shouted back

Haseena saw a wooden log was about to fall on karishma.... She immediately

Rushed inside not bothering about herself and pushed her... They both fell down.. .. after a minute haseena got up followed by karishma "Karishma" she said and hugged her tightly. . . "Aap thik hain na baccha??aapko lagi toh nhi na kahi..."she asked through her tears

"Hum bilkul thik hain haseena...lekin aap yahan kahe aayi hn... Aapko kuch ho jaata toh??" Karishma said worriedly

"Hum yaha apni jaan ko lene aaye hain... Chaliye ab" she wrapped the blanket around her and held her hand... They both went out of the kitchen somehow. . .

"Maddam sir yaha se bahar jaane ka koi rasta nhi dikh rha h... Aapko nhi aana chahiye tha. . . Fire brigade ka intezar kar leti to ka bigad jaata aapka?"

"Just shut up karishma singh... Aapko lagta hai ki aap yaha andar aag m fasi hongi aur hum bahar chup chaap fire brigade ka wait karenge?"

"Phle to sirf hum hi fase the ab dekhiye aap bhi fass gayi... Vo bhi hmari vajah se"

"Apna muh kam chalaiye aur dimag zyada... Bahar nikalne ka raasta khojiye samjhi" haseena scolded

It was getting difficult for them to breathe in the smoke. . . Karishma was in the house since a long time. . .her head was spinning and her vision was getting blurred

"Haseena...." she said weekly and fainted.... Haseena held her by her waist"Karishma...karishma... Aakhein kholiye please.... Hume yaha se bahar nikalna hai .... Aakhein kholiye naaaa...."she said tapping her cheeks. . .

"Hum aapko kuch nai hone denge karishma singh" she said and carried her in her arms and walked towards the main door. . . She cannot jump carrying karishma in her arm. . .

"Maddam sir... karishma madam..",pS and SS said with a hopeful smile....

Haseena handed karishma to Santosh... As she was stepping outside. . . A big wooden fire block fell before her and her way blocked. . .

"Maddam sir..."they said scared

" Ghabraiye mat hum aa jayenge" she shouted from inside

"Lekin maddam sir" PS said.... "Pushpa ji... Hum aa rahe hn bss.."she said and went inside to find another way. . .

Meanwhile AS and CC reached there with the criminal and found karishma unconscious.... "Behna...."he said

"Sir aap inhe kyu leke aaye hain aise handcuffed??" SS asked

"Kyuki yahi hn vo khooni.... Santosh Sharma"

"Kyaa!! "They said shockingly...

"Haseena ji kahan hain??"

"Vo.. maddam sir andar hn... Vo aa rahi thi magar......"pS told him what happened....

"Hum unhe lene jaa rahe hn... Ks ka khyaal rakhiyega" he said

"Nhi sir aag boht zyada h...hum aapko ni jaane de skte" cheeta said

Meanwhile fire brigade came and begin their work....

"Haseena ji andar hn... Hume unhe bachane jaana hi hoga..." He said

"Sir fire brigade aa gaya h...."

Karishma gained consciousness after having fresh air. . ."paani..."she fumbled.. . .

"Madam...madam aap thik toh hn na... Hum sab kitna dar gye the..."santosh said

"H..hum.. thik hn... Haseena madam kaha hain??" She asked but santosh didn't replied. . .

"Santu maddam sir kahan hn... ?" She said loudly..

"Haseena madam andar hain" she replied
