It was midnight but sleep was faraway from Haseena's eyes...her heart was exceptionally happy today.... She was lying beside sleeping figure of Karishma with the support of her elbow and was only gazing at her... She doesn't know why is she doing this... Never she had ever felt like this in past eight months... Her eyes were feeling some other kind of peace... She doesn't know why she is holding her hand like holding a precious gem...

In between she was caressing her hairs and pulling her cheeks... Why is she doing these stupid activities she doesn't know herself... Like she was not in her senses...

Karishma was sleeping carefree for the first time after Haseena left her.... Or else she had engrossed her too much in work that she used to dozed off being exhausted or Pushpa Singh used to give her low dose sleeping pills secretly with the milk some times...

Karishma turned towards Haseena and cuddled with her... Haseena smiled and snuggled Into her arms... and crossed her legs with her.....

In the morning, sun rays disturbed karishma's sleep.... She rubbed her eyes and found her cuddling with her maddam sir.... She smiled whole heartedly remembering the hug after So many months.... She freed herself from her grip and kissed her forehead and walk towards the window which opens to the garden....she was lost in her thoughts....

"karishma rukiyeeee!!!.... Humara laptop hume vapas kijiyeee" said a gasping Haseena running behind her in the whole house..... "nahiii denge maddam sirrrr..... Aaj hum dekh kar rahenge aap kya chipa rahi hain...." karishma said running.. holding her laptop in her hands..... "karishmaaa.. vo gir gaya na to bata rahe hn aapko ghar se nikaal denge..."Haseena shouted..... "maddam sir ek baar dekhne dijiye naaaa" "usme aapke dekhne k liye kuch bhi nhi h baccha... Laptop vapas kr dijiye hume please" she said making a cute puppy face.... "Haseena, aap humko nhi dikhayengi??🥺" she began her emotional blackmail.... "nahii" haseena replied straight.... "kyaa sach mein?🥺" "Ji" "thik h agar aap yahi chahti hn toh hum nhi dekhenge.... Ab aap humse pyaar hi nhi krti toh koi baat nhi😓😔" she continued her mellow drama and Haseena melted.... "achha thik h... Dekh lijiye..." Haseena handed her laptop and was looking at her nails in nervousness....

"Password?" Karishma asked.... "hum daal dete hn na" she replied.... "bharosa hi nhi krti😓" ...."thik hn bata rhe hn ..." she told her password which was Karishma's birthday... "ye kuch jaana pehchana sa lagg raha hai?" ks doubted "nhi toh😒" "arre yeh...hmara birthday" karishma realised and smiled at her... Her maddam sir has kept her birthday as her laptops password....

She logged in to the laptop and was shocked to see the wallpaper.... It was Karishma's picture with coffee foam moustache....which Haseena had clicked in the cafeteria... She was looking super cute.... "maddam sir aapne.. hmara photo kahe lagaya hua hai..." she asked... "vo kya h na... Dushman ki photo baar baar dekhne se dushmani me increament hota h.." she replied sarcastically and karishma only smiled... How special she is in her life...

"ab is laptop ka postmortem hoega" ks said... "nhi please.... Baccha ab mat dekhiye na..." haseena pleaded nervously.... "Haseena😏" ks said and opened the images... And she was shocked... It was nearly 3000 pictures but were only of hers... The pictures were extra cute.... A lot of candids as well as normal pictures.... She started from the beginning... The first one was when the met very first... All pictures are like a collection of emogis... Having all kind of expressions.... Angry, happy, sad, excited,confused, smiling, pouting, laughing etc... Karishma felt short of words... She doesn't know how to react..... "Has... Haseena...y..yeh sab...." "aa.. vo....aa... actually karishma ye... Ye sab humne nhi... Hmara matlb...humne... Mtlb I m sorry... Aapki ijazat ke bina... Aapki photos humne... Click ki...par... Vo..." she fumbled.... While karishma's eyes were filled with tears of happiness....

"itni photos toh humne apni poori life me nhi li hongi..." karishma said.... "itna pyaar kahe krti hn aap humse maddam sir... Password hamara date of birth... Wallpaper hamara photo... Aur gallery me to hmara alawa kuch aur h hi nhi...aisa kon krta hai??" she asked ...."hum ...krte hn.... Ab laptop ka postmortem ho gaya ho toh vapas kr dijiye...," she said ...

Haseena took the laptop and left to the room... Karishma came from behind and back hugged her.... "kya hua baby....?" Haseena asked

"Haseena... Aap...aap humko itni importance kyun deti hain?...." she asked.... Haseena turned and replied...."kuch 'kyu' ke jawab nhi hote SI sahiba..."

"jai hind maddam sir,!" they greeted... "jai hind... Kya chal raha tha yahan..."

"bs vhi... Saas bahu ka..." cheeta tried to say only to get a death glare from Karishma.... "aap dono thoda toh kaam par dhyaan diya kijiye... Har waqt shuru ho jaati hn...

Karishma came out of her trance when she saw Aryan watering the plants in the garden... She walked towards him... He saw her coming... "hey! Good morning karishma" "good morning..!"

"umm... Voh Karishma.. I wanted to ask you something... Tumare paas tumhari bff ki koi picture hogi kya... Use dhoondne m madad milegi..." he said

Karishma looked at her phone... Should she tell him everything or not....she thought to herself and finally Decided to tell him.... She opened her gallery and showed him a picture of her and Haseena... Aryan was shockingly looking at the photograph.... "A..Anaya...Haseena... Ye kaise ho sakta hai... Nhi... This could not be true..." he said not wanting to stay away from his sister... "Aryan... Please... Vo hamari haseena hain...hum ni reh sakte unke bina.... Hmari madad kijiye please...." she requested.... "agar aisa h toh kahan thi tum itne waqt se..? Jab tumhari dost ko humne marte marte bachaya tha..?" he asked in a loud tone.... "Kya hua tha unke saath?" she asked....

"I was in Noida those days for my project... Ek din... I was monitoring the area near the railway station... Tab mujhe Anaya zakhmi haalat me vaha par behosh mili... Her head was bleeding badly... Mai aur mera ek colleague... Hum dono mil kar use hospital le kar gaye... Doctor ne kaha ki uski condition boht critical h....immediate blood donation ki zarurat h... Uska blood group boht rare tha... But luckily mom ka blood group Anaya k blood group se match kr gaya... Jab use hosh aaya toh hume pata chala ki use toh pichla kuch yaad hi nhi h...." his eyes were full of tears....

Karishma was feeling very angry on herself for not being with her when she needed her most... Tears were flowing down from her eyes.... "th.. thank you.. so much... Hmari Haseena... Ka itne waqt tk khayal rakhne k liye..." she spoke with gratitude.... "mom ko laga ki vo humari Anaya h... Isliye hum usko ghar le aaye..."he continued.... "aapki Anaya??" she asked ... "haan meri apni behen Anaya... She was 20 when she died..." he told her... "ooh.. I m sorry..hum..." "its ok... Mom is baat ko manne k liye ready hi nhi hn ki Anaya ab is duniya m nhi h... Unhone aapki Haseena ko dekha to unhe laga ki Anaya vapas aa gyi hai... Unhe lagta h haseena Anaya h..." Aryan said...

"hum... Hum.. baat krenge aunty ji se..vo boht achi hn vo samjh jayengi.. par aap please hmari madad kr dijiye..." she pleaded to him....

"kyaa baatein chal rahi hn yahan par...?" Haseena asked coming from behind..
