(Friends!
............................................................................................................................................ I m sorry!🤦
What else can I say😅

Happy reading..!)

     Getting permission from As, KS went to HM. She reached the door of the room.
The door was open.
HM was sitting on the bed side, facing opposite to the door.

KS sighed. Fidgeting with her fingers, she was gathering words to convince her...

KS: amaa is Veer ke bacche ko bhi aaj hi prank karna tha...🙄
Ab to aur hi hamara baat nahi maanengi Ms!

      Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door slowly..

     HM turned. Her eyes were red, n face was completely wet with tears...!

     Seeing KS, she instantly lied down on the bed turning away from her...
  A smile crept on  KS's lips...

    She walked in, and settled on the bed beside her.

KS: Maddam Sir!

   HM didn't respond.
KS smiled , n forcefully turned her towards herself.

HM (irritated): kya h??

KS: suniye to sahi hamaari baat...!

     She said in extremely sweet n flattering tone...

HM: humein kuchh nahi sunna,  humein neend aa rahi h..

        She said, keeping a pillow over her face...

   KS smiled pressing her lips, n snatched away the pillow from her....
    HM frowned.

HM: kya kar rahi hain aap..??

KS: aap ki best friend aap k saamne baithi hai, or aap ko sone ki padi h...
    Uthiye humein baat karni h aap se...

HM: magar humein aap se koi baat nahi karni...
   Jab aap ko humaari baat maanni hi nahi h, to phir kuchh kehne ka kya faayda...??

     She again covered her face with the pillow...

    KS took a deep breath.

KS: Ms! Hum jaante hain k aap ko humaari chinta h.
Aap kaahein dar rahi hain, aap ko kaese khayaal aa rahe hain, hum...hum sab samajh rahe hain....
  Par Ms! Hum ko kisi bhi haalat mein is mission mein safal hona h... aur isse achha raasta nahi milega humko...

 
      HM pushed away the pillow, n got up...

HM: KS! Aap samajh kyun nahi rahi hain...?
  Wo aadmi ek rapist hai..!!!!!

Aesa criminal h, jo pata nahi kis kis crime mein involve h...

     Hum kaese aap ko aese tanha uske hawaale kar dein...

    Hum kuchh or sochte hain...
    Veer...aap Veer se kahiye k wo Bs ko uljha kar , kisi tarah koi clue haasil kare...

KS: Veer ne koshish ki thi Ms!
Par kuchh pata nahi chal saka..

Bs ne apne parivaar ko apne kaale dhando se ekdum alag rakha hai.. or kisi ko unki bhanak tak lagne nahi di hai...

HM: t...to ..... To hum koi or raasta dhund lenge...

KS: Ms! Kisi or tareeke k success hone ka utna chance nahi h, jitna is tareeqe ka h...
Hum jo kuchh dekhenge, sab record kar lenge...
Wo hum ko koi haani nahi pahoncha paayenge, hum apni raksha khud kar sakte hain...

    HM was getting her point, but was helpless against her heart..., who wasn't letting her agree to KS at any cost...!
   
     The continuous war between the heart n the mind had irritated her.

   She yelled...

HM: Humein kuchh nahi pata, or humein kuchh nahi samajhna...!

     Agar aap ne ye khatarnaak qadam uthaaya , to hum aap se kabhi baat nahi karenge....!

      Aage aap ki marzi...

        She lied down, covering herself with the blanket completely ...

       KS called her, but she didn't respond. KS pulled the blanket, but she was holding it tight...

        KS sighed. Leaving it on the next day to convince her, she walked out of the room only to find PJ waiting for her...
        
PJ: ye kya faesla suna kar aayi hain aap ..
Nahi.. humaare lalla ki koi chinta h ya nahi aapko..???

  
     KS who was already distressed, got irritated..

KS: PJ plz... Pehle hi Ms nahi maan rahi hain..
Ab aap shuru mat ho jaiyye ga...

PJ: haa haa...! Hum hi bewakoof hain , jo aap ki chinta karte hain...

      PJ's choking voice n wet eyes made KS regret her tone...

She softly locked arms around her...

KS: kaahein itni chinta kar rahi hain aap...
Kuchh nahi hoga hum ko, dekh lijiye ga aap...

PJ: kya samajhti hain aap khud ko...
Jab dekho, maut ke mun mein chhalaang lagaani hoti h aap ko..

Amrit pee rakha h aap ne???
   

KS:  aap ka or sab ka pyaar Amrit se kam h kaa Amman!!!
   Kuchh nahi hone dega ye hum ko....

     PJ wept silently in her arms. She knew her daughter-in-law very well. If she had decided, then it was impossible to stop her....!

       After some time, KS came back to say goodbye to HM.
HM was still lying on the bed, covered in the blanket from head to toe...

KS: maddam Sir!
          There was no response...

KS: Ms! Hum jaa rahe hain..
B..bye...!
     
         Still, there was no reply...

KS: maddam Sir!
      (Her voice cracked...)

     Hum jaante hain, aap jaag rahi hain....!

     She said with teary eyes, n left....

     Meanwhile, inside the blanket, 2 teardrops escaped HM's eyes, n absorbed in her pillow...!

HM (in mind):
Bahot achhe se jaante hain hum aap ko KS!
  Bahot ziddi hain aap!
Jo soch liya hai, usse ek qadam peechhe nahi hatengi ....

      Tears were now continuously streaming down her eyes...

     
        "achha Ms! Ek baat bataaiyye,, agar kabhi...hum na rahe to....."
      
      She suddenly recalled KS's words said long ago, which made her heart skip a beat...!

HM (in mind): KS! Kyun itna sataati hain aap humein...??!!

      She crushed her lips cruelly to prevent her sobs from getting louder....

HM (in mind): shaayed... Hum aap ki jagah hote to...hum bhi yahi karte, jo aap karne jaa rahi hain...
   Pr hum is dil ka kya karein KS...!!

      
       Twitching n sobbing , she cried herself to sleep...

       For the next whole week KS tried hard to convince her, but she could not....

       Finally, the night before the day of final step, arrived!!!

   The next day was the last day to return the loan.
    It was 3:00 AM at night.

       Everyone was present in the hall. SS opened a small case n showed it to everyone...
    It was a light n simple necklace, which appeared to be very low-cost.
   Along with it , there was a similar bracelet...

SS: is necklace mein nano-camera aur microphone fit hain. Aur microchip bhi, jis mein sab kuchh record ho jaayega...

   Iska switch, necklace ke peeche hai.
Uske on hote hi, hum camera ka sara view mere laptop par dekh paayenge... Aur saari baatein bhi sun paayenge.

    Is bracelet mein tracker hai, jis se hum aap ko continuously locate kar sakenge....

     She handed over the case to KS.

As: KS! Bahot hoshiyar or satark rahiyega.. or yaad se samay par switch on kijiye ga...

KS: ji sir!

       All of them were getting goosebumps, every time they thought about what was going to happen...

        It was time to leave, n it was far more difficult than last time...

      First of all,  KS moved towards PJ , who instantly hugged her tightly...!

Inspite of trying hard to control, tears started flowing from PJ's eyes...

KS's eyes welled up too...!

     HM stood up from her place, n left the hall, while Veer left behind her...

   After crying for some time, PJ came out of the hug, n wiped the tears away...
Cupping KS's face, she kissed her forehead...

PJ: all the best!

KS: Thankyou PJ!

      Giving a smile to PJ, she moved towards As.

       Wrapping his arms around his dearest Chanda 💖, As was falling weak in attempts to stay strong...!!!!

        He was pushing inside the tears dwelling up in his eyes, with difficulty....

        The fear of losing his doll was haunting him, but he also had confidence in her. She had always made him feel proud...

    KS was weeping silently. HM's anger was troubling her heart...

       Burying her face in As's chest, she instantly started sobbing like a kid...
It made As even more restless...!
    He tightened his grip around her...

KS: Anu bhaiyya...!
  M.. maddam Sir...
Wo..wo bahot naaraaz hain
   Hum se... Hum se b...baat...to karengi na...??!!

     As smiled.

As: aap dono ke is Rishtey ko, hum kabhi samajh to nahi paaye...
    Magar itna zaroor jaante hain... k HM ko manaane mein, KS kabhi naakaam nahi ho sakti...

     
      His words boosted her confidence.

    Veer chased HM in the porch, calling her continuously, but she wasn't responding...

     He finally stopped at the doorstep of the room...

Veer: Haseena Maddam!
  Plz suniye meri baat...

       HM who was now standing near the bed turned towards him....

HM (sternly): Humein ks k baare mein koi baat nahi karni...

    Veer closely noticed her pale face, n swollen eyes witnessing many sleepless nights...

Veer: plz...! Sun to lijiye...plz!!

   
        HM gave in to his pleas. She crossed her arms near her chest, n replied...

HM: Theek h..bolo...!

Veer: I m sorry, maddam! Main aap logon k matter mein interrupt nahi kar raha...
    
    Pr itne dino mein itna to jaan hi gaya hun, k aap donon ek dusrey ke liye kitni ahem hain...

   Is waqt agar km ko kisi k support ki sab se zyada zaroorat hai, to wo aap hain...

         HM was listening to him carefully..

Veer: main aap ko Yahaan ye samjhaane nahi aaya maddam...
    Aap HM hain, har baat ko gehraayi se samajhne waali..!

   Main jaanta hu ke Aap is baat ko mujh se kahin behtar samajhti hain...
    Par main ye bhi jaanta hun, k dil  k aage kisi ki nahi chalti...
Mohabbat insaan se jo karaaye kam hai...!!

      Saying that with a smile, he left, leaving her spellbound!
      HM slowly sat down on the bed, hiding her face in her palms......

      He was absolutely right..!
Indeed love is the most mysterious thing in the world!
♥️💖

     After some time, KS entered the room, n found HM sitting on the bed, burying her face in her palms...!

KS: Maddam Sir!

         She called her in a low voice.
      HM lifted up her head. The tear filled eyes, at once, weakened KS.

        Taking a deep breath to gather some courage, she took a few steps towards her...

KS: Aese naaraaz ho ke bidaa kijiye ga kaa hum ko..??!!

    Her voice was cracking...!

    
  HM stood up n moved close to her. She glanced at her beloved junior cum bestfriend.
   Her eyes seemed to be dim...!
The ever-hopeful lanterns were faded...!!!
   
     It pinched HM's heart...!
She knew very well how much she mattered for KS.
Although, she was still unwilling to send her, but it was too late to be angry anymore...
   She needed to encourage her, as a senior, and as a best friend as well...!

    Softly, but swiftly, she encaged her in her arms, providing her much needed solace n satisfaction...
KS closed her eyes, hugging her back...

       The very next moment, room was echoing with their loud sobs...!

KS(sobbing): Ms! H..hum sab kuchh .. sab kuchh seh sakte hain... Pr aap ki naaraazgi...
n...nahi seh sakte...!

    HM rubbed her back...

HM: Relax KS!

     KS cried even harder...

HM: KS!  Shaant ho jaiyye..
   It's ok...!

    It took some time for her to calm down..
Coming out of the hug, HM wiped her tears n kissed her forehead lovingly..
     She held her both the hands, and smiled at her...

HM:  All the best!!!

           The glow of KS's face returned...!
Her Ms was a beacon of hope for her!!!💖

KS: Thankyou Ms!

     She said in cracking voice, ready to melt down once again...

HM wiped the teardrops escaping her eyes...

HM: Shh...bas!
   Or haan ! Is khush-fehmi mein mat rahiyega ke naaraazgi khatm...
     Waapas aaiyye,, bahot ladna hai aap se....

      She tried to lighten her mood...

KS:🙄🙄haa haa lad lijiye ga...

    She said rolling her eyes n making a pout...
HM chuckled at her cuteness....

      A few seconds passed quietly. They together glanced at the wall clock, and then at each other...!

      It was time to leave, their hearts palpitated...

    No matter how much they denied, this could be the last time they were meeting!!

     HM's heart shivered at this thought. She instantly held KS with shoulders....

   HM: kuchh nahi hoga aap ko..!!

     She assured herself, more than her....

     KS smiled satisfactorily. HM looked straight into her eyes...
     The ever-hopeful lanterns were again shining brightly with confidence...!

    HM's heart got solace...♥️

HM: chaliye! Sab intezaar kar rahe honge...

    They walked to the hall. HM gave her many instructions on the way...

       
      In the hall, everybody was waiting for them...

KS: To phir hum chalein..??

     She said, gazing at all of them...

     SS who was on verge of crying, hugged her quickly and tightly, n dissolved in tears on her shoulder...

KS: Santu...!

     Rubbing her back, KS glanced at Billu n cheeta who were holding their tears...

KS: topa ho sab ke sab...
      She scolded them lovingly..💖

KS: hum safalta ki kagaar pe khade hain, or tum sab bachhon ki tarah ro rahe ho...

Jaldi se aansu pochho apne...

     Wiping santu's tears herself, she glared at the other two...

     They all wished her best of luck. She smiled and felt grateful for the unique relations she had...!!
    Indeed love is the most mysterious thing in the world!

       She stepped out, Veer was waiting for her. Taking a few steps, she turned back, only to find a group of tear filled eyes staring at her...
    

     Her gaze stopped at HM...
Their eyes met for a moment, n then HM turned, hiding herself in PJ's arms...!

   Lo main aankhein band karti hun, ab tum rukhsat ho jaao...

   Dil to jaane kya kehta hai, lekin dil ka kehna kya...!!♥️

     KS smiled slightly, n turned to leave...

   That's it..
I m eagerly waiting for your response n comments..!
I will try to post next part sooner...
Thanks 😊
