The following morning, the sun shone brightly waking everyone up from their dreamland. Haseena woke up with a sweet smile on her face as she remembered the happenings of previous night. She looked at her right to find Karishma sleeping on a bed placed at a distance, with Santu on the top level. It was like a bunker bed. [Refer to the picture above*]

She blushed a little as the thought crossed her mind. Finally after composing herself and adoring Karishma for a while later, she got up and went inside the washroom to freshen up.

After a while when she came out she found the other two were already up.

Karishma (rubbing her eyes)- Good morning Haseena ji..🌝

Haseena (smiling)- Good morning! Kahin hamari hulchul ney toh aapki nind kharab nahi ki?

Karishma (still sleepy but okay)- Nahi nahi..kaa keh rahin hain...aap key hotey huye hamey koi takliff kaisey ho sakti hai..

Haseena (blushing/ annoyed)- Aapki progress dikh rahi hai hamein..subha subha kahan shuru ho gayin aap? Case ke liye ready nahi hona? Abhi boht kaam baaki hai!

Karishma (stretching)- Kisine kaha tha ki ham seekh jayengey..

Both of them had completely forgotten that Santosh had been in the room too. She once looked at Karishma and then at Haseena, confused as she couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Santosh- Koi mujhey v samjhayega kiski baat ho rahi hai? Kisney kaha tha aapko Karishma madam aur kya?

Karishma (covering up)- Kuch nahi santu..tum nahi samjhogi..badi ho jaao pehley..

Santu (pouting)- Kya matlab?

Karishma- Matlab yeh ki jaldi tayyar ho jaao..nichey jaana hai..aur phir investigation bhi karni hai...

She ran inside the bathroom quickly leaving a chuckling Haseena and a confused Santosh behind.

●●●●●

While Haseena was checking some notes given by Ramesh to check if the handwritings matched with any of the writings in the notes, she told her team-mates to keep an eye on the bride. Even After a lot of effort she couldn't find anything serious. The offender had probably changed his writing.

It was day 2 of their presence and nothing suspicious could be found out. Haseena got tired and leaned on her chair when she noticed Karishma coming towards her along with Santosh. Haseena's eyes widened with amazement and her lips curved into a smile as Karishma came towards her. Karishma was confused with the looks Haseena was giving.

Karishma (while sitting down beside her on a chair)- Kaa hua? Aap aisey kaa dekh rahi hain?

Haseena- hmm...toh aapney khud notice nahi kiya?

Karishma (more confused)- Kaa?

Haseena- Aapki shirt kaafi acchi hai..kahan sey li aapney?

Karishma furrowed her eyes but then checked her outfit. To her surprise it wasn't her own shirt.

Karishma- Ek minute! Yeh shirt...yeh shirt toh hamney pehley kabhi nahi dekha..

Haseena (😂)- accha? Toh aapke paas aya kaisey?

Karishma- hamney toh khud ka shirt pehna tha...ek min. Ek min.!! Santu!!

She looked at her with a jolt. Santosh who was still sleepy, jerked open her eyes at Karishma's growl.

Santosh- Ji madam?

Karishma- yeh shirt kahan sey laayi tum?

Santosh- Aapkey suitcase sey..madam..

Karishma- lekin yeh shirt hamara nahin hain! Kaunsa suitcase sey layi ho?

Santu- Arey woh blue wala!!..

Karishma facepalmed herself while Haseena tried to control a laugh.

Karishma accidentally dropped her shirt in the bathroom as she was taking a shower. As she had nothing to do, she asked Santu's help.

Karishma- Ama Santu! Hamko ek dusra shirt laakey do hamarey suitcase sey..aur jaldi!!

Santosh was in deep sleep. She couldn't register what was going on in her surroundings. Also she couldn't deny her senior's orders. So, she randomly opened someone's suitcase, sleepily, took out a shirt and handed it over to Karishma. Little did they know, the suitcase was of Haseena's.

Haseena looked at Karishma with a smirk.

Karishma (shy)- ham aapko lauta detey hain..abhi..

Haseena- Koi zarurat nahi hai..aap isey rakh sakti hain..vaisey v hamey dekhkey accha lag raha hai ki hamari shirt aapko poori fit aarahi hai...nice..

Karishma bit her lower lips and blushed a little. She looked at the shirt again and clutched it tightly.

Santosh- Sorry madam..woh mainey notice nahi kiya tha..yeh mistake dobara nahi hogi...

Haseena (blurting out)- Agar ho v jaaye toh koi problem nahi hai..kyun?

Santu- Hain?

Haseena- *Ahem* (clears throat) hamara matlab hai..woh..haan..case pey aatey hain.. aapkey taraf sey koi pogress hui?

Karishma (little serious)- Nahin...Pushpaji, Cheeta ney report kiya hamko lekin aisa koi ya kisipar sandeh toh nahi jaa raha...

Haseena- Hmm...aur handwriting sey v kuch khaas pata nahi chal raha...

They talked some more about the case while Santosh munched on her breakfast. After a little discussion, they thought to take a break.

Haseena- Ham zara walk kar letey hain...

Karishma- Ham v zara aatey hain..bohot der sey baithey baithey pairo mey sujhan ho gaya hai...

As they got up, a whole bucket of "haldi water" fell on them from above, out of nowhere completely soaking them! ♥️

[🎈Haldi rasam done ✔]

Karishma was about to slip when Haseena caught her at the right time. Her hands tightly wrapped around Karishma's, while Karishma's hands tightly clutched Haseena's shirt.

In the process, their eyes met with each other. Both exchanged worried looks. As if to ask if the other was okay...Haseena couldn't blink. Her eyes were busy checking out Karishma's facial features. On the other hand Karishma's throat went dry with the sudden proximity. Her heart beat abnormally. Finally she gulped nervously as her eyes followed Haseena's.

Soon they were disturbed by the other people.

Some lady- Arey thik ho tum dono?

Lady 2- Arey achanak kya hua??

KarEena left each other as they came back to the reality.

Lady 3 (from above the staircase)- Arey sorry doston..chota sa accident ho gaya aur yeh haldi ka paani poora gir gaya...

Sorry tum dono ko..

They both looked at each other with red cheeks.

Santosh- Arey aap dono toh poorey bheeg chukey hain...change kar lijiye...

Karishma (annoyed now)- Hamney kuch der pehley hi nahaya tha..ab phir change karna padega...

Still Both of them agreed and started backing off to their rooms.

They reached their room when Haseena suddenly thought to pull the other's leg.

Haseena- Aap change kar lijiye..

Karishma- Ji

Haseena (smirking)- Toh aap ab apney shirt sey kaam chalayengi yaa ham koi shirt dein?

Karishma (blushing/rolling eyes)- nahi nahi..hamarey paas hai shirt. Aur aapko yeh waapas kar dengey...

Haseena- Koi jaldi nahi hai..aap chahey toh isey rakh sakti hain..

Karishma- Aur kaa karengey ham iska?

Haseena- Hamari yaad aayegi toh yeh hamari jagah aapko hamari yaadein [memories] waapas taaza karwaegi.. (winks)

Karishma (chuckling)- ab rehney dijiye..bohot hui flirting...aap change kar lijiye...

Haseena- Haan..karengey..lekin pehley aap jaayiye..

Karishma- Aap jayiye..hamei thora waqt lagta hai...

Haseena- Haan..thik hai..hamey koi problem nahi hai..aapko jitna waqt lagana hai lagayiye...

Karishma (narrowing her eyes)- Aap jayiye na..kyun zid kar rahin hain?? Hamey kam sey kam 1 ghanta lagega..

Haseena (raising her eyebrow)- poora din le lijiye..lekin pehley aap jaiyeye..

Karishma- Aap zid kyun kar rahi hai bewajah?

Haseena- Ham koi zid nahi kar rahe...

Karishma- Toh phir pehley aap jayiye..

Haseena- Pehley aap...

Karishma- pehley aap..

Haseena- Pehley aap..

Karishma- Pehley aap..

Haseena- Oofff..aap manengi nahi na aisey? Thik hai...

Haseena started moving closer to Karishma. Karishma gulped hard not figuring out the other's intentions.

Karishma- Aap kya karna chah rahin hain??

Haseena didn't reply and kept stepping closer while Karishma moved back with same steps. Both kept moving in a rythm until Karishma's back hit a wall and Haseena trapped her by caging her.

Haseena (with a little smirk)- Kyun? Aap jayengi naa pehley?

Karishma (flushed 😳)- yeh kya Zabardasti hai?

Haseena moved a little closer to her. Their faces were inches apart. Karishma stopped breathing as she noticed Haseena's intense gaze back at her.

Haseena- ab Kahiye...kya kaha tha apaney? Nahin jaana? Koi baat nahin..aap rahiye yahin..hamari baahon mey..hain na?

Karishma looked away and exhaled deeply. She felt Haseena's growing closeness. She pushed her a little, picked up a towel from a closet and ran inside the bathroom.

Haseena chuckled as her plan of making Karishma freshen first worked. She waited for her to come out so she took out her phone and scrolled through the internet to kill the time...
