Hi everyone, I am back with another update. Thank you so much for the amazing response. Your comments are the driving force for me and the only reason I am posting today. Though the part is short but I think it's worth a read.

Almost an hour later, Haseena gained consciousness. It took her a minute or two to remember what had happened; her return from office, staggering headache, Karishma's broken and crying figure, her asking her help, Karishma's freezed state, Priya injecting her and her getting unconscious.

A tear rolled down from the corner of her closed eyes as she realized the extent of pain Karishma must be feeling when she would have found out about her deceit- her missing dosages.

She slowly opened her eyes and rotated her head to look for Karishma's presence in the room. She found her sitting on sofa beside Shorya with her eyes red and puffy clearly indicating that she had been crying for a long time and with her deadpan face indicating her that the damage is irreparable.

Her eyes moved to Shorya who's face was flushed with anger and eyes filled with disappointment. She broke her eye contact with them and slowly moved her body to get out of the bed.
As she was sitting up, climbing down and walking towards them, Karishma's facial expressions started changing to anger, "stop!! stop right there," Karishma roared at the top of her lungs in sheer anger and frustration shaking not only Haseena but Shorya too, to their core.

Haseena has no more strength left to walk and she got rooted at the spot five steps away from Karishma. Shorya realized that this is not the right time for him to express his anger, "I need to manage Karishma's anger, Haseena won't be able to bear her angry avatar," he thought to himself not realizing that there is no place for any third person between them both, there was never and there will be never.

Haseena's heart was thudding in her chest when Karishma shouted house help's name who immediately came inside with dinner trolley. "Shorya, you should wait for me outside," Karishma stated bluntly.
"But..."
"You are not allowed..." Shorya tried to intervene but Karishma did not let him complete and outcasted him from the room.

All this while Haseena was standing in the center of the room with pounding heart, clenched fists and bowed head.

She stood up walked to the trolley, served a plate for her but instead of feeding her by her own hands like usual, she placed the plate on the bed and herself sat away on the sofa after ordering, "go and eat your dinner."
"A...I....you....I mean....y....you s....should also .... eat." Haseena stuttered in shaky voice. "I said eat your meal right now," Karishma shouted loudly causing Haseena to flinch. A tear dropped from the corner of her eyes but she sat down and forwarded a morsel herself in her own mouth with her trembling hands, for the first time since she has returned from Hospital.

With great difficulty she gulped a few morsels while her mind was flashing with all those moments where Karishma was feeding her with all her love and hope of her recovery. She raised her eyes once to look at Karishma only to find immense pain behind her anger. Her own heart was feeling her soulmates pain.

The moment she completed her dinner, Karishma placed the medicine in front of her and said something which put Haseena in a dilema she had never thought she would face, "I had never thought that i will be fooled by you into believing that you are getting better.....for real....commendable!!!" she clapped mockingly with gritted teeth while Haseena was shaking her head negatively with continuous tears streaming out of her eyes.

Karishma continued, "This has made a crack in our friendship and it is ready to break any moment...... You have one last chance to save us, eat this medicine..... Have this medicine and save this bond between us which is like oxygen for both of us......"

Her eyes bulged out hearing her words and she at once locked her eyes with her. She could see she meant each and every word she said and her heart sank. This time she felt her heart against her own soul instead of her mind......

In all the battles of her heart and mind, she has always chosen her heart- her Karishma but that day she was stuck between her heart, her Karishma, and her soul, her Crescent.

Karishma, on the other hand, was determined to make her eat this medicine and according to her it was her last option to save her Haseena's life and she is ready to risk everything for that even their friendship the very bond she had not just cherished but worshipped.

She was looking at Haseena with thudding heart waiting for her to decide whether she failed or succeed in her life's biggest exam, to decide the fate of not only their friendship but also their life.

Haseena picked up the medicine in her, stood up with her eyes locked to Karishma's, shook her head in negative, dropped the medicine on the floor , fell down on her knees, bowed her head and started crying vigorously sitting in her Karishma's feet.

Karishma was too shocked to react, her mind was unable to process that Haseena, her Haseena, had not chosen her and their friendship; the very friendship about which she herself had confessed dozens of times that it was the most important thing for her, "Were all of her words fake?" Was the question popped in her mind.

She was sure that may be not her mind but her heart won't let her give the decision against her, "I always thought that she has just lost her memory but my Haseena is the same. Was I wrong?" Another question echoed in her mind.

"Haseena had refused to take the medicines, the medicine which are more than elixir for her... Does that mean I....I... I will....will have....have to lose her??" She asked herself another question and the thought only had sent tremors in her whole body.

"I have hurt you....I know.... Give me any punishment.... Karishma but don't do this..... please" she heard her words between her heavy cries.

"No.... You don't deserve any punishment.... but... I.... I was the one who failed in teaching you the value of life so I should be punished," Karishma announced and walked away.

"If you would have asked for my existence, I would have given that to you happily but what you are asking is not possible!! For God sake, please Karishma don't do this..... Please!!" She shouted with tear drenched face looking at Karishma's retreating figure still on her knees but Karishma did not turned back and left the villa dragging a helpless Shorya with him.

Shorya was driving and Karishma was staring blankly out of the window.

Haseena's tears have dried and she was lying on the floor of her room staring blankly out of her room's window.

The night sky had suddenly turned exceptionally dark, moon had dissappeared behind heavy clouds, thunder lightening struck with a loud roar, and cloud started pouring down, mourning over the most painful separation of two most pious souls.

What next?

Was it the end of their friendship?

What will be Karishma's next step?

What will be the result of the battle between Haseena's heart and soul??

How was the part?
