Not proofread ignore spelling and grammatical mistakes

Door of the room opened and came inside an angry and scared Pushpa ji holding the mobile in her hand on which Karishma's fight with Rakka was still playing. She was followed by a visibly distressed Santosh and Cheetah too. They enter and automatically their first sight went on Haseena who have been lying unconscious with a monitoring machine attached to her on the bed at the left side. Rolling her eyes on her, they looked at Karishma who was sitting on bed crossing her legs with a glass of juice in her hands while shorya was also sitting by her side on the stool. "Amma??" Karishma gasped nervously seeing her glaring angrily at her and instantly bowed her head. "What is this? Haven't I warned you that you will not go there again?" Pushpa ji scolded her daughter angrily. "Amma.....listen to me first..." Shorya tried to intervene. "Shut up Shorya!! I will take your class separately that how come in your presence she reached there?" She reprimanded him shutting him too.

"You had promised me that you will never go to that suicidal place again then why? How can you broke your promise Karishma? Do you want to.....d....die..." "Nooo!! No amma!!" "If it wasn't suicide attempt then what was it?" Pushpa ji screamed shaking her through her shoulders. "Amma....i....actually....Haseena...." Karishma stuttered with wet eyes and before she could finish Pushpa ji started off, "Haseena!! Haseena!! Haseena!!! I am fed up of this Karishma....Be it she is with you or away from you, she is alwsys hell bent in putting your life at risk.....At one side you are always ready to give your life for her but on other side she is..........? What she did when you needed her the most? She not only left you to be insulted and tortured but had not left any stone unturned for getting you punished for a crime you had not commited......Why can't you leave her...? Even after getting all this from her you have been with her since her accident 24/7 but I did not object.......and now....you were going to die with her??? For God sake Karishma!!! Come out of this obsession named Haseena.....She is not worthy of this love!!"

Though Karishma understand that Pushpa ji was scolding her because of her love for her but regardless of her clenching fists and closed eyes since she started, her level of patience for hearing against Haseena crossed and she screamed at her perhaps for the first time since she came in her life and it shocked not only Pushpa ji but all others too, "Stop it!! Stop right now Amma!!"

Seeing her shouting back and glaring her angrily had not only shocked but hurted Pushpa ji too and a tear dropped from her eyes causing Karishma to instantly realize her mistake. "Shit!" she mumbled to herself and suddenly closed her eyes. Pushpa ji looked at her, wiped her tears and turned around to leave but Karishma had instantly gave her head in her chest, clenched to her waist and mumbled, "I am sorry, please....I did not want to shout at you.....i am sorry...."

Snuggling like this only she said, "I am sorry Amma. I know I did wrong by risking my life and I had broken my promise too....but...if a broken promise could save one life then it should be broken. Haseena's heart beats had stopped, I had to take all my chances so I did what I thought the best way. Earlier I went to that ring because I intended to give away my life but this time I went to shook up Haseena's heart which still tremble at her Karishma's pain in the same way it used to be ten years ago......Please Amma, forgive me please!! I do not wanted to hurt you...." Karishma finished clinging on to her and started crying heavily.

Shorya placed her hand on Pushpa ji's shoulder and said, "Amma, Karishma was always right about Haseena....we all have greatly misunderstood her," His words were a shock for not only Pushpa ji but for Santosh and Cheetah too. ""What...What does that mean?" she asked but shorya bowed his head in response guiltily. She brought Karishma out of her hug and asked looking at her, "what does that mean that we have misunderstood her? Tell me Karishma.....tell me the truth???"

Karishma wiped away her tears, gestured towards her side of bed and started getting serious, "Sit here Amma, Cheetah, Santu.....you too have a seat....i will tell you everything....after all not only Shrorya but you all were equally involved in hurting and bad mouthing her by your words and actions."

She narrated Haseena being her rescuer to them but had not told then how she had insanely tortured herself, attempted suicide and took revenge. By the end, Pushpa ji, Santu and Cheetah, all were filled with guilt and endless tears of remorse were flowing from their eyes. "I....i....i had called....called her my daughter.....and ....i....i couldn't understand her.....how i....i....had cursed her.....In love of one daughter I got blind towards other......" Pushpa ji mumbled ashamed of herself while tears were streaming down from her eyes to her cheeks. "We....we have humiliated her in front of whole media.....and....and she had not objected.....what have we done Santu ji.....we have called her family.....is this a family who could not understand her......who had not trusted her once....." cheetah added angry at themselves while Santosh was crying husterically clinging onto cheetah unable to bear the guilt. "I....i had even did not think once before slapping her.....how....how could I do that?" Shorya too expressed his remorse looking at unconscious Haseena.

Karishma was herself in tears hearing their remorse and thinking about Haseena and her pains and problems. She looked at Haseena and thought to herself, "I won't let the whole truth come out in front of them Haseena.....whatever you did to yourself was wrong shameful and cowardy and I do not want the world and the family to see the brave and strong Haseena Malik as insane and coward......Except Shorya, Me and your manager Mr. Shah none would be able to get to know about long list of your problems, the reality of your suicidal tendencies behind you getting the bravest title of all times ' the lady immortal', you insanely beating yourself, you taking law in your hands, your suicide and your nervous breakdown......"

Her thoughts were broken by Santu's words, "Our Haseena madam is a real hero, how she had rescued Karishma madam smartly and faced everything bravely, without breaking apart, even after seeing our hatred for her." "Not only this, Santu ji....she had risked her life to save their lives without even thinking that they were convicted criminals.....if she wanted she could have jumped off the van and none would have questioned her but she is real hero who tried till the last moment to save their life for saving the superiorty of law ....." Cheetah added expressing his pride on her. Pushpa ji also added, "It is right that criminals should only be punished through law and not by any justice out of court but today I am glad that they all had reached to hell by God's grace!!" Hearing them Shorya looked at Karishma who shook her head negatively to which he nodded and assured her by blinking his eyes.

Pushpa ji moved held Karishma's both hands and asked with worried voice, "Beta, are you sure that you are fine? You are not lying to me, right?" Karishma smiled weakly, kissed her both hands and added with assuring eyes and confident voice, "I am abolsutely fine Amma, I had talked to doctor too and he had told me that there are no major injuries, just a little swelling here and there which will be gone soon. I am taking care of myself because I know that there are many people who love me and needs me in their lives." Pushpa ji was pleasantly surprised hearing such positivity from her and she at once looked at shorya who gave her an assuring smile and next moment she had hugged Karishma tightly, "I had been wishing to see this Karishma since so long.....Thank you God!! Thanks a lot!!"

After sending them, Karishma took a deep breath and said looking at Shorya, "Thank you Shorya for not revealing the whole truth......I donot want haseena to go through any kind of humiliation in front of them. For them she is The Haseena Malik- the strongest and most powerful and I want it to be that way, always....." "I am with you always!!" he responded assuring her. Just then Mr. Shah entered and without letting him say anything Karishma added, "Mr. Shah please see to it that all of the reality should not come out and must not effect her public image." Shah nodded slightly as he too did not this to harm Haseena and buisness. Karishma once again looked at shorya and added, "You should now go to clinic your patients must be waiting for you and Mr. Shah, I think you have a huge empire to handle behind your Haseena madam's back so you need to go from here too." Shorya agreed to her but Mr. Shah, who was drowned in his own thoughts and was truggling to say something since a long time, shaked his head negatively and said at last, "No, I had promised Mrs. Malik that I will always protect Haseena from your harmful memories.....and now when I know you are her junior, I won't let you near her anymore."

However, Karishma has had it enough and in no way she is going to take any such nonsense from anyone. She walked towards him and said intimidating her, "Mr. Shah, I won't repeat this again so it's better if you fit it in your head once and for all, My name is Karishma Singh, me and Haseena had been best friends since four years of age, I love her more than myself and right now I know one thing for sure that Haseena needs me the most and I will be with her at any cost. I don't know what her mom had told you about me and neither have I wanted to know. I just know that you cared for Haseena like your own daughter so, for this fatherly lovely of yours, I am trying one last time to make you understand that I am the only one cure for her, I am the only guarantee of her happiness and health at this point of her life. From this day onwards you will follow my orders in every matter related to Haseena, I will decide where she will go and where not, what she will do and what not, her working hours and sleep hours, her workout routine, her therapies, her meals and even where she lives too."

She finished and shorya was looking at her proudly. Mr. Shah could feel sincerity and genuine love in her each and every word so he nodded and added, "Alright I am ready to trust on your belief but what you are intended to do is next to impossible. She is the Haseena Malik, never in her life, she had allowed anyone to control her to such an extent." He added and shorya agreed to him, "he is right Karishma, even I am doubtful about it."

"I know it already that she hate being controlled, I know her more than she know herself. I know it will be difficult...." She stopped and sighed heavily. "But, this is the only option I have now and you both have to help me in this......you will do exactly I say, I need to bring her back to her normal life and for that I need to be strict, angry, caring, loving and polite all at the same time." "You are not alone, we are with you," both added. Karishma forwarded her hand, they placed their hands on hers and together they vowed, "FOR HASEENA!!"

"Mr. Shah, I had already applied for a 20 day leave application for Haseena in department. In that time you will handle office on your own and if something is urgent then it must reach to Haseena through me, only," she once again ordered confidently. "Alright!!" he responded and left from there.

Few hours later, Karishma was sitting outside Haseena's room on bench, her head at the wall behind her with closed eyes, her arms crossed to her chest, her brain occupied with all the words of Abhinav and Kritika, her dangerous revenge, her taking law in her hands and her insane suicide attempt, "when you become this weak and coward Haseena.....where had you lost my Haseena, who was my strength, who was my inspiration......how can you think to finish yourself? Haven't you thought even once that what will I do without you...... I wish I could have told you how much important you are for me......I wish Haseena......I too want my soul back....." she was thinking all these things and her pain was slowly changing into anger on Haseena.

Regardless of the fact that she is aware of Haseena's madness when it comes to her since their childhood, she is totally shaken up that this time she went beyond limits, she had almost lost her because of that and this was making her more and more angry. It was then a nurse came out of her room and told her, "madam, patient had got consciousness, if you want you can meet her." her words brought her back in to the present and she asked, "How is her health now?" "Her vitals are stable and she is completely out of danger however nothing can be said about her mental condition," nurse told her. "Okay, I want you to leave her alone until her next dose." She ordered and nurse left from there. With her anger rising to its peak, she stood up, held the door knob and twisted it open with a sudden thud.

Kaise Bataaye Kyun Tujhko Chaahe

Yaara Bata Na Paaye

Baatein Dilon Ki Dekho Jo Baaki

Aankhein Tujhe Samjhaaye

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Tu Jaane Na

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Tu Jaane Na

On the other hand, before gaining complete consciousness, Haseena's mind was flashing with all the events starting from accusations on Karishma, her pleading to D.S.P something which she never did to anyone for anyone, her planning for Jail break just to portray herself and Police department at fault and Karishma as a heroine, her unbearable pain when Karishma was being accused, insulted and tortured followed by her losing her mind, what she did to herself, to Misri and those convicted criminals and then how despite of her complete preparations to die, death refused to accept her and that constable had saved her from the branch she got stuck due to accidently opened door of the van from her side.

She slowly opened her eyes only to see herself in a hospital room, monitory machine attached to her and a nurse, standing in front of her flashing a smile to her. "How are you feeling now Ms. Malik?" she asked politely. Unable to understand why despite of risking her life so dangerously she always get saved by one way or other, she just gave him a slight nod and closed her eyes once again not bothered to ask about anyone or about what's going on or even since how much time she had been unconscious.

Nurse started checking her vitals while she was still unable to understand that why her heart was aching so terribly to the pain of someone she barely knows. She was more shocked and angry at her own heart, who even now too was still saying only one thing to her that you had done the right thing and all those who caused Karishma pain must have to be destroyed while on the other hand her mind was once again abusing her own self for not only taking such extreme steps but also in front of Abhinav and now she was sure that he must have told everything to everyone, causing much to her embarrasement.

Drowned in all these thoughts, she was unable to understand what will she say to all, how will she justify her actions to others when she is unable to justify to herself. She did not realized when the nurse went out, she came out of her revere when she heard loud thud of the door and she suddenly opened her eyes only to see Karishma standing there glaring at her with red angry eyes. Gulped down her throat, she sat up straight, "ka....karis.....karishma....i....i.....actually....i mean...." terribly stuttering, feeling strangely scared of her anger, she was unable to look towards her and before she could complete her sentence, she got two tight slaps right on her cheeks from Karishma shaking her whole body for a minute.

Milake Bhi Hum Na Mile

Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Milon Ke Hai Faasle

Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Anjaane Hai Silsile

Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Sapne Hai Palakon Tale

Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

A tear rolled down from Karishma's eyes to her cheeks and she turned her face away unable to even scream at her, feeling angry, hurt and disappointed all at the same time. Haseena, on the other hand, took a minute to realize that she was actually slapped by someone and that someone is Karishma herself.

Tears rolled down from her eyes too, she closed her eyes, went silent and dared not to raise her head. No matter how much her mind was screaming at Karishma's audacity to slap her, she strangely found her heart understanding her condition. She knew how she must have been feeling at the moment by assuming herself responsible for her condition.

Tears were endlessly streaming from Karishma's eyes, again and again she would turn around to say something to Haseena, to tell her condition, to scream at her for trying to leave her once again but all she could do was to let out helpless sobs. Words went meaningless and worthless to describe her condition and she let herself fall down on the stool placed beside the bed on which Haseena was sitting. Haseena could hear her sobbing and her pain. Her very heart who was earlier not ready to accept that she had done something wrong was now feeling guilty not because of punishing herself or those criminals but of being the cause of her tears once again.

Kaise Bataaye Kyun Tujhko Chaahe

Yaara Bata Na Paaye

Baatein Dilon Ki Dekho Jo Baaki

Aankhein Tujhe Samjhaaye

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Tu Jaane Na

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Tu Jaane Na

Karishma looked towards Haseena who was sitting silently with bowed head. Once again everything flashed her mind and her anger started rising. She wiped her tears with her one hand, tightly clenched her chin and raised her head to look directly in her eyes and screamed loudly at her, "When I was neither your friend nor your family then why you did this to yourself? You don't love me right, neither have you needed me then why you did this to yourself? You knew I love you, you knew I care for you, and you knew too well that I see a friend in you then why you did this to yourself? Why you did not think once before doing this to yourself that how will it affect me and those who love you and respect you genuinely?" However, Haseena had no answers of any of these questions. All she could see was anger, hurt and disappointment in Karishma's eyes produced out of immense, unconditional love for her and she at once closed her eyes there only not able to take it. Karishma had left her chin with a jerk in sheer anger and walked away from bed while Haseena was still sitting there with her bowed head and endless tears.

Nigaahon Mein Dekho Meri

Jo Hai Bas Gaya

Woh Hai Milata Tumse Hubahu

O O O Jaane Teri Aankhein Thi Ya

Baatein Thi Wajah

Huye Tum Jo Dil Ki Aarzoo

Tum Paas Hoke Bhi

Tum Aas Hoke Bhi

Ehsaas Hoke Bhi

Apne Nahi Aise Hai

Humko Gile Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Milon Ke Hai Faasle

Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Tu Jaane Na

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Tu Jaane Na

Ooo Jaane Na Jaane Na Jaane Na... aaaaaaaaa aaa

Tu Jaane Na

Karishma was standing in the farthest corner of the room facing the closed curtains of the window. Tears were streaming from her eyes endlessly with these thoughts in her mind, "I wish Haseena....i just wish.....i could have told you that what is our relation, I wish I could tell you what were you and what you become. My whole life I have seen a strong, brave, confident, determined, problem solver, bubbly, extrovert and jolly girl who loves everyone care for everyone however, what I am seeing today had scared me to my wits. This is very much difficult for me........I was living away from you all these years in hope of a miracle that may be some day I would get my Haseena back, with whom I could complaint endlessly, with whom I could be that free child once again, from whom I could demand even the silliest things but look what I got......now I don't know....if...I ....i would ever be able to meet that old Haseena......"

Khayalon Mein Lakhon Baatein Yun Toh Keh Gayaaaa

Bola Kuch Na Tere Samne

Oooo Hue Na Begaane Bhi Tum Hoke Aur Ke

Dekho Tum Na Mere Hi Bane

Afsos Hota Hai Dil Bhi Yeh Rota Hai

Sapne Sanjota Hai Pagla Hua Soche Yeh

Hum The Mile Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

She was pacing to and fro in front of Haseena with her anger rising each passing moment. Clenching her fists tightly she stormed towards Haseena, hit her fists very hard on the wall just inches away from her face and screamed, "Why?? Why Haseena Malik.........Why you had done this?" It shook Haseena to her core but she dared not to raise her head to look or say something to her, instead closed her eyes more tightly. "You had called us your family...is this how you behave with your family...........Answer me Damn it!!" she shouted once again "I....i...was compelled to....to behave rudely...for.... save saving you..." Haseena stuttered literally terrified of her anger.

Hearing her Karishma closed her eyes in sheer frustration then clapped loudly and added mockingly, "wow!! Hats of to you!! Thank you so much MADAM SIR for saving me!! Is this what you are expecting from me?? If yes then you are highly mistaking Ms. Haseena Malik.....you had greately disappointed me, you had not only taken law in your hands but also tortured yourself mercilessly. You were burning in your self made guilt but you did not shared with anyone......You were suffering from chronic loneliness due to your mother's death but you had not let anyone of us coming near you or help you despite of the fact that you yourself had called us your family.....you were juggling with a major memory loss and accident but you had not uttered a single word about it instead you had intentionally kept us all in dark by portraying yourself as the happiest and most satisfied person......you had taken care of all of us but did not allowed any of us to even come near you regardless of the fact that your suicidal tendencies were at peak......Have you ever thought that what would have happen with the trust of people of Lukhnow if they get to know that the great S.H.O Haseena Malik had compromised supremacy of law? Have you ever thought what would be the condition of your team whom you have once called your family if they get to know that you are so weak and coward that you chose to hurt yourself and take your life instead of facing us all....?" She finished and once again hit her fist tightly on the table beside her in sheer anger and tear dropped from her eyes. "I...Karishma....sorry....please..." Haseena tried to say in between her silent cries with bowed head.

However Karishma's anger and hurt was not lessening, clenching her through her shoulders she shook her and added through gritted teeth with tear streaming down from her eyes endlessly, "You were my ideal.....my role model.....why....why you did this to me? I just wanted you to let me help you, to erase your pain and sorrows.... but you had never allowed me....i was even able to bear that also.....but who gave you this right to take your and anyone's life Haseena Malik!!!" By then Haseena's capapcity to bear the shame and guilt ended and she burst out crying heavily. Kairshma had left her with a jerk and stormed out of the room with tears streaming from her enraged eyes.

Meelon Ke Hai Faasle Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Anjaane Hai Silsale Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Sapne Hai Palko Tale Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Kaise Bataaye Kyun Tujhko Chaahe

Yaara Bata Na Paaye

Baatein Dilon Ki Dekho Jo Baaki

Aankhein Tujhe Samjhaaye

Tu Jaane Na, Tu Jaane Na

Tu Jaane Na, Tu Jaane Na

Karishma did not entered her room after that, instead she chose to keep an eyes on her from outside the door while inside Haseena had lied down and shut her eyes tightly in attempt to block out all the feelings of pain, shame, guilt, anger and confusion. However, it seems destiny had some other plans for her today as Woman Police Station team entered her room except Karishma who chose to stay outside only.

Haseena realized their presence only when Pushpa ji carrased her head lovingly. She instantly opened her eyes only to see her standing beside her carraseing her head with the love and guilt in her eyes and she gave her a confused look. She looked behind her and found Santu and Cheetah looking at her with guilt, love and immense respect. Before she could understand anything, Pushpa ji joined her hands while Santosh and Cheetah held their ears and together they added, "Sorry madam sir!! As a family we should have trusted you be with you but we doubted your loyalty and capabilities." Until a few minutes ago Haseena was sure that she is in for many embarrassing and humiliating interaction because all the reality must be out in public by now, so when she heard them, she was utterly shocked. Putting down Pushpa ji's hands and shaking her head negatively towards her both constables, she asked, "What are you doing? Please, I am not worthy of this."

Pushpa ji kissed her forehead lovingly and added, "I am sorry Haseena...I should not have cursed you like that. In love of my one daughter I abandoned another.....I am so sorry and I am proud of you!!" Haseena was looking at her baffled in tears and asked, "You....you are....proud...proud of me....even...even after knowing what I did...?" "Madam Sir, we know everything that's why we are proud of you.....Karishma madam had told us how you had not doubted her even once and did every thing to save her. You had faced are harsh words and insults but did not break apart. Not only this how bravely you had tried till the last moment to take those criminals to jail to protect supremacy of law. You rightfully deserve the title of 'lady immortal'.....we are very proud to be your juniors and your family.....Please forgive us for our rude behavior!!" Santosh added with pride and guilt seconded by cheetah too who also had once again apologized to her. Haseena had gave them a nod smiling through her tears extremely overwhelmed with emotions, hugged Pushpa ji tight and started crying with hiccups.

They were chit-chating on some light topics like Police Station work and more when Santosh suddenly said, "Madam Sir, you are very lucky that you got someone like Karishma madam who love you so much." "Meaning??" Haseena asked. "Your heart beats had stopped madam sir.....if Karishma madam had not done this to shake you up, we would have lost you...." She responded showing her Karishma's fighting video and once again endless tears started streaming down from her eyes and her heart was drowned in oceans of guilt, gratitude and love for her. They were blabbering and talking with her but she had been drowned in her own thoughts about Karishma's words, her anger and disappointment on her, her risking her life to save her life, her not letting her lose respect in other's eyes......

Few moments later, Pushpa ji and team had also left and now Haseena was sitting on bed alone with her thoughts while shorya was sitting on sofa beside her. He was observing her getting more and more restless and worried with each passing moment so he finally decided to break the silence, "What you did was not completely illogical......? I know Karishma is upset with you and she is justified at her place but.....it is also right that sometimes even when everyone including one's own mind was busy saying one thing then also heart used to speak its own. I can understand that Karishma's pain had made you lost your senses and your insecurities had not let you share yourself with anyone......" She looked at for longer moment then took a deep breath and added feebly as fresh set of tears flowed down, "But...Karishma is very angry and upset.....and....i am not able to bear that too...." Shorya smiled, moved towards her placed his hand on her head and added, "Look Behna!!" Haseena at once stared him at the word. "Amm...sorry....if...you did not find it right...." "You really see me as your sister...." She asked not expecting this. He smiled and added, "Yes since the time you cannot imagine.....and perhaps that was the reason I over reacted when I see you arresting Karishma and slapped you also.....If possible than please forgive me" Hearing him she smiled overwhelmingly and added, "Please don't say sorry....you were nowhere at fault....bhai......and....thank you....thank yor for making me your sister." He nodded giving her a side hug protectively carraseing her head while she added, "Bhai.....please talk to Karishma....please say her....that forgive me...." He lifted her head and asked looking straight in her eyes, "Do you really think it would work?" "Then....what should I do...." She asked helplessly. "Close your eyes and ask your heart!!" he added closing her eyes with his hand.

Few minutes later, Haseena opened her eyes and flashed her dimpled smile, "Got it!! Thank you bhai....thank you so much!!....i...I need to go...." She added and was about to remove wires from herself. "Hold on! Hold on Behna!!! If you tried to leave this place then I don't think there is a need to tell you what Karishma will do....?" He added stopping her. "Actually.....you are right....amm....my phone....yes, I can do the arrangement over my phone too..." she at once suggested. "Sorry.....not allowed.....or my wife would not leave me!!" "But....bhai!!" she added exasperated. "I can just make you talk with your manager.....if that could work?" he suggested. "Fine....i will manage with that too....come on now hurry up!!" she asked impatiently, he smiled at her desperation to make up with Karishma and connected her with her manager.

Hours later, after meeting with Haseena's doctor, Karishma returned to check upon her but found her room empty. "Nurse!! Where is Ms. Malik?" "Mam, she have been shifted to V.I.P wing..." she responded. "Okay, thanks!!" she responded and headed straight towards V.I.P wing.

Just as she reached last turn to the corridor of the V.I.P wing, she was utterly amazed. Corridor was decorated with a red carpet though out surrounded by multicolored, two feet high flower wall and the mesmerizing fragrance of the flowers had changed the hospital ambiance into a garden. An instant smile crept up her lips. Her eyes fell on a few tables placed at a distance from each other till the door of the room while each one of them had a video camera placed on it. With creased forehead, she stepped towards the first one, and switched it on only to find just one video in it and instinctively she played it. Haseena was sitting on bed in hospital dress only, confessing those words with tear filled eyes and choking voice,

"Karishma, since the time you had done bandage of my wounds in woman Police Station at my first day in Lukhnow.....i was feeling a strange attraction towards you, that day when you sung a song- it felt like it was only and only for me, then when you were hurt by my words- I once again felt myself extremely agitated which resulted that I had myself cooked for you just to apologize to you.....Whenever it comes to you I had found my heart and mind at loggerheads however I had always suppressed my heart and intentionally kept myself away from you. Everytime I did that it felt like I am going away from my place but....i did it because I do not want to you face any kind of trouble because of me....like everyone does...."

Without waiting for even a second she moved towards next table and played the other video

When I was trying endlessly to keep myself distant from you then Esha and Ayat entered in my life and I once again found myself strangely connected to them...like....like they....they have someone with which I could resemble. My bond with them started growing and I was relieved that at least I am successful in keeping myself away from you and to keep you safe to. However, what I forgot is that I had made myself closer to those innocent girls in the process......those poor girls had to pray the pirce of coming closer to me. When I found out that you have been accused....trust me never for once I doubted on you, not even for a brief second. I tried to make D.S.P understand that too but Misri had already played her move and for which I was being dreaded to happen it happened; you got into problem because of being connected with me....

Wiping her now freely flowing tears, she literally ran towards the next video camera

I....wanted to save you and i....i had planed too.....a fool proof plan.....but the only problem in that was that I had to let you go under Misri's ruthless interrogation.....i had no other option so I did that.....i thought its just a matter of few hours and I would easily go through it....however as always this time too I found my heart opposing my mind but what I did not expect was that your....your tears.....your pain.....your screams......would become completely unbearable for me......At that time I realized that I failed miserably in every attempt of keeping myself away from you in all these days...however by then it was too late, my heart had already waged war against me for letting you go through this......and....rest is history.....right or wrong I lost all controls and I just did what my heart said me to do......I never wanted to hurt you or give you any kind of pain......Please forgive me....i am sorry!!!!

With shaking steps she played the next video and found Haseena crying hysterically while saying,

I know more than anything what had hurted you the most....that...even after calling you a family I ....i had not shared my pain and problems with any of you.....I know I had fell down in your eyes....but you still had not let me fall in other's eyes......You had always proved yourself as my true well wisher and I had always negate that.....but not anymore.....I am sorry Karishma.....I am sorry for all the pain I had caused you....i promise I will do exactly as you say please forgive me.....Please Karishma...."

Haseena's sobs subsided as the video ended and before Karishma could even react properly door of the room in front of her opened. There she was sitting on bed only with a guitar in her hand and tears flowing from her eyes. Looking straight in her eyes, Haseena began singing for her these lyrics

Na maaregi deewangi meri,

Na maaregi awaargi meri,

Ke maaregi zyada mujhe maut se,

Naraazagi teri.

Kyun itna huaa hai tu khafa,

Hai zidd kis baat ki teri,

Ke maaregi zyada mujhe maut se,

Naraazagi teri.

Jaan-nisaar hai jaan nisaar

Tere pyaar pe mere yaar,

Jaan nisaar hai.

Ummm.

Duniya zamaane se,

Rishte mitaaye hain,

Tujhse hi yaari hai humari,

Ik baar toh aa.

Maine nibhaya hai,

Karke dikhaaya hai,

Le teri baari,

Ik vaari ub hi pyar nibha.

Tu bhi pyaar nibha o yaara.

Teri berukhi se hai badi,

Umar intezaar ki meri,

Ke maaregi zyada mujhe maut se,

Naraazagi teri.

Kyun itna huaa hai tu khafa,

Hai zidd kis baat ki teri,

Ke maaregi zyada mujhe maut se,

Naraazagi teri.

Jaan-nisaar hai, jaan-nisaar,

Tere pyaar pe mere yaar.

Jaan-nisaar hai, jaan-nisaar,

Tere pyaar pe mere yaar.

Jaan nisaar hai.

Ummm.

Placing the guitar aside she had held her ears, lowered her eyes and once again requested with gathering all the last bit of courage left inside her, "Please.....do....don't.....don't....don't be angry.....please.....i....i....i am ...unable .....to se....see.....you turning away....from me.......please.....please....i.....i...i am sorry...i.....i... n....need you...." Karishma was standing at the door stunned, she had not expected this to happen so soon, a fresh set of tears streamed down from her eyes.....

She started walking towards her with slow footsteps. Haseena's breathing stopped for a moment hearing her approaching steps, her sobs stuck in her throat, a sudden silence emerged in the room and her heart started thudding against her chest. Tears were still falling in her lap, her hands were still on on her ears and eyes were also bowed down, when Karishma had raised her one hand, slowly patted her head, removed her hands from her ears and forwarded her face towards herself. Haseena once again slowly raised her eye-lashes to look in her eyes and this time she saw an unconditional love in her wet eyes. At the very next moment, she had thrown herself in Karishma's arms, tightly clenching her throught her waist and they both started sobbing loudly which soon turned into loud wailings.....

Almost 10 minutes later, Karishma was sitting on bed while Haseena was lying placing her head in her lap facing the wall in front of her, while still endless tears were flowing from her eyes wetting her lap. There was a complete silence in the room and nothing could be heard other than Haseena's sobbings. Karishma was letting her cry and she herself was crying silently, both were trying to erase some of the pain of long ten years separation, one knowingly and other unknowingly.

Lovingly caressing her head in her lap she was looking at her Haseena and was feeling a plethora of emotions. She was feeling more terrible upon finding her Haseena going through such torturous conflicts of her heart and mind just because of her memory loss. She was feeling happy realizing that her heart still recognizes their bond in its originality. She was feeling guilty on realizing that just because of her loneliness in past ten years she had reached to this extent that she is thinking herself as a trouble for those whom she loves. She was feeling angry that she wanted to kill herself and she was going through so many problems but did not bothered to tell her. She was even more scared upon realizing that their separation had even increased Haseena's madness which aroses seeing her in trouble or pain. She was feeling all the more determined to keep herself near her and to take charge of her life in order to heal her properly and for that she was ready to give a completely new direction to their beautiful bond of friendship. She was ready to infuse her love with strictness and to infuse her carefree demanding side with a little more maturity around her.

Haseena felt Karishma's tears on her face, she tilted her head to look at her and her own tears started streaming down. She sat up straight, wiped Karishma's tears and her own too. Bending a little she picked up a box from her side table, adjusted herself to face her, placed the box in between them and started, "I Promise you that I will always be by your side whenever you need me. I promise you that I will never let you fall. I promise you that I will always share my happiness, sorrows and problems with you. I promise I will always try not to hurt you. I promise I will always pamper you, tease you, love you unconditionally and be crazy with you. I promise I will always fulfil all my duties of being your friend and will give away all your rights on me. I promise I will trust your thoughts and decisions about me if you wished to take any. I promise you I will always protect you with all my health, wealth and life," with that she opened the box forwarded two necklaces towards her and asked with tears in her eyes and extremely nervous heart popping in her chest, "Will you give me a chance to be blessed with your friendship??"

Karishma was feeling highs and lows of all sorts of emotions, since ten years she had been longing for this and now when she was finally experiencing this live in flesh and blood, it was getting hard for her to believe. Not able to decipher whether to cry out of longingness for Haseena or to laugh out of happiness for getting her, she finally gave her a nod. Picking up the half heart pendant engraved with 'K', she wore it around Haseena's neck.

She, then, repeated the same vows of friendship, "I Promise you that I will always be by your side whenever you need me. I promise you that I will never let you fall. I promise you that I will always share my happiness, sorrows and problems with you. I promise I will always try not to hurt you. I promise I will always pamper you, tease you, love you unconditionally and be crazy with you. I promise I will always fulfil all my duties of being your friend and will give away all your rights on me. I promise I will trust your thoughts and decisions about me if you wished to take any. I promise you I will always protect you with all my health, wealth and life. Will you give me a chance to be blessed with your friendship??" Haseena nodded feeling herself at the top of the world, instantly wrapped the other half heart pendant engraved with 'H' around Karishma's neck and took her in a bone crushing hug. Soon enough they were crying, smiling, laughing and giggling all at the same time.......

Few moments later, Haseena came out of her embrace, wiped her tears, cupped her face slowly and kissed her forehead with gratitude. Holding her hand in her both hands she kissed them too added, "I should be thankful to Almighty for blessing me with such a pious soul as my friend.....Karishma I don't know if I would be able to keep up to my promises or not.....as.....as....you know...i....sometimes even went out of my own control.....but....i.....i know one thing for sure.....that.....I will always try my level best to not let you down.......but....if....if still I made a mistake....then.....you....you will have all the rights to punish me in any way you find appropriate for my mistakes and I promise Haseena Malik will not object your word or your intentions....From this day onwards only one person will have all the rights on Haseena Malik and that is Karishma Singh......I trust you for myself with all my heart and mind so no one will have any right to object your word when it is about me not even me myself....." She finished looking straight in her eyes. Karishma smiled through her tears with a nod, placed her other hand on her hand and added, "I know you are worried about your health, past life, memories and traumas related to it but I promise, you will always find me by your side in every situation. I will love you unconditionally, will care for you with all my sincerety, will tease you as a naughty friend, will rightfully punish you on your carelessness towards your health too but I will never let you lose your respect in my eyes or in others eyes. You were one of the strongest and most powerful woman of Lukhnow, you are the one and you will always be the one!!!!" They once again repeated the words trying to assure themselves that they would fulfil their promises regardless of what destiny will throw towards them.

Looking in each others eyes smiling through their tears, their both hands in each others, they together added, "Friends forever!!!!" followed by another tight blissful hug.

So, Was it up to the mark....?

Will they be able to keep up to this new friendship or their entangled past and its broken threads will once again create a rift between them?

Will Karishma be able to heal Haseena? 

Will Haseena ever tell Karishma about Crescent? 

stay tuned for these and many other such questions......
