It was almost lunch time, after getting relaxed about Haseena a little, Karishma was fully engrossed in her work. She was continuously completing one after another file, when Pushpa ji came near her table. Lovingly caraasing her head, she said, “Karishma, beta first have your
lunch.” Karishma raised her head and once looked at her, then at her wrist watch and then at the pile of files. She sighed heavily and added resuming her work, “Amma, I had to send these files to headquarters before leaving for Hospital otherwise D.S.P sir will either cancel Haseena’s leave or
replace her and I could not let both happen.” “But Karishma, your health is also important,” Pushpa ji reasoned getting worried for her. “You are right, I had to take medicines
also…..amm………why don’t you feed me by your hands while I complete these files.” She said enough for Pushpa ji’s happiness and peace.

A few minutes later, Karishma was working on files with full concentration, Pushpa ji was
feeding her by her own hands and was enjoying the bliss of seeing Karishma taking care of
herself and freely expressing her love and concern for her loved ones.
Few hours later, Karishma was walking swiftly towards Haseena’s room while mumbling to
herself, “It had been four hours since Esha and Ayat returned, don’t know what chaos she would have created by now….” Twisting the doorknob, she opened the door and entered inside.
However, the scene in front of her startled her a bit. Haseena was sitting on bed in half-lying position with her feet crossed on one another and head rested on backrest with closed eyes
while a peacefull smile was adoring her lips. Seeing her enjoying peacefully without any restlessness and that too by listening to the kind of music she never liked, Karishma blinked her eyes twice to make herself believe at the scene.
“Haseena!!” she called her surprised. “Karishma!! When you arrived,” she responded opening her eyes with an extra wide smile. “Ammm……just now. How are you feeling?” she asked
confused at her contrasting smile as she thought four hours of idleness must have took an already stressed out Haseena at the peak of her frustration. “Excellent, by the way thanks for sending Esha and Ayat, they had made my day,” She responded sitting straight and closing the TV. “Esha and Ayat does have a magical effect on both of our moods but how can it diminished
all her depression and stress and that too in just a few hours……I am sure something is a miss,” Karishma thought to herself and then added, “Let me first meet your doctor,” saying this she was about to turn to the door when she saw doctor entering the room.

“Hi doc, I was coming to you only,” Karishma greeted him who nodded. “So, tell me doc, how is her health now?” she asked glancing at Haseena who had once again passed a smile to her. As Karishma turned her face towards doctor, Haseena had locked her eyes with him for a brief second and something transpired between them which compelled doctor to fumble nervously. “Aaa…..ye…yes, her progress is going at good pace….” He paused and looked at Haseena who was glaring her, he gulped nervously and instantly added, “In fact, she no longer had to stay in hospital, rest of the treatment can be continued from home.” A winning smile emerged on her lips as soon as he completed his words.

“Hmmm!!!” Crossing her hands behind her back, she first glanced at Haseena, who had instantly
changed her expressions to normal, and then she took two rounds around the poor doctor inspecting his body language from top to bottom who started sweating. “I think you neither love your job nor your life that’s why you not only did dishonesty to your profession but also you dared to dodge Karishma Singh.”

Poor doctor joined his hands and added with expressions of giving up, “Madam, I am badly stuck
between you two; as if a well in front and ditch behind me….. Please you both have some mercy on me………Karishma madam, cancel my license or shot me, but please take her home. Me and my staff can no longer bear her stay……please, please madam I beg you……I promise I will regulary visit her twice a day but we can’t keep her in our hospital……in last four hours, my ten nurses and paramedics had literally ran out of the hospital leaving their job. I can’t afford to lose
more…..” With these words, doctor left the room, completely drained and irritated leaving behind a ready to erupt volcano.

Keeping her hands on her sides, Karishma was glaring Haseena angrily who was sitting with
bowed head like an obedient child in front of his mother who knew that a long scolding session is just about to begin. She raised her eyes to look at hers but instantly bowed down seeing her dangerous stare. It repeated thrice but Karishma had not said anything. So, Haseena dared to
ask, “wh….what….are …..You going to do?” Instead of responding her, she kept glaring her adding
to her nervousness and at the same time dialed a number, “Mr. Shah, prepare for Haseena’s
homecoming, DOCTORS HAD DISCHARGED HER” She informed through her gritted teeth
stressing each and every word. Haseena gulped anxious of her next step.

Next moment she dialed another number still staring angrily to a bowed-head and fully conscious Haseena. “Shorya, Haseena have been discharged, I am taking her to Malik Villa and I will stay there only, with her.” “Don’t worry, take care!!” Haseena got the shock at this
announcement and she horrifically shouted, “No, you can’t!!” However instantly mellowed down
seeing her glare and mumbled, “please…..you…..you don’t have to….i….i will….i will take care of
myself.”

Karishma slowly moved towards her, sat beside her, held her hand and added looking straight in her eyes, “You did this to escape from your treatment, I know that but now I want you to keep it in mind that all your tries will go down the drain as you won’t be able to. I want to see you
healthy and fit both physically and mentally and I will do everything to achieve that.”“But I promise I will take care of myself, please go home…..please….i…”

Haseena was trying to convince her but she interrupted her and added in a characteristic strict demeanor, “Ms. Haseena Malik, from this day until you recover, you will be under my strict supervision.” Karishma’s sudden strict voice and deep meaningful eyes startled Haseena to her core.
She opened her mouth but words refuse to come out of it, her mind was shouting at her to rebell but her heart had surrendered in front of this characteristic style order.
Haseena took two minutes to react and then she nodded silently looking in her eyes before looking away. At that very moment she realized she would never be able to refuse such orders, from her best friend, filled with her love, concern, anger and worriness for her.

Standing up from her seat, Karishma had kissed her forehead reassuringly and pulled her in a comforting hug while rubbing her back. She reciprocated by wrapping her hands around her waist and snuggled more into her, feeling protected and loved in her embrace.

There was a complete silence all the way through their journey from hospital to Malik Villa.
Sitting in Haseena’s black Mercedes, staring out of the window, both were muddling in their emotions.

In past few days, Haseena’s life had changed upside down. “For the first time, since I remember myself, I have gotten someone’s genuine love, care and friendship. I know you want me to be fit and fine both mentally and physically and all your strictness is just for that only but I know myself too, it will make me cranky, frustrated and even angry on you; what will happen at that time? What if you too won’t be able to tolerate me at my worst, like my mom and all others…… will you also go leaving me?” Haseena thought to herself.

On the other side, though past few days brought back colors of Karishma’s life but this time they
are different in many ways. “I am very happy and thankful to god that he had blessed me again with Haseena but…..i have always seen Haseena perfect in almost everything, I have always been pampered and cared by her like a child by her mother, will I be be able to see her in opposite light……and most importantly Am I strong enough to bring her back to herself?” Karishma thought to herself.

Sixteen years of their togetherness, Haseena was her hero- one possessing indefinite strength to bring anyone out of their problems. And now suddenly, she had realized that she wasn’t a hero but a human- one who is liable to make mistakes. This fact is as much difficult for her to accept
as it is often for a ten to thirteen year old to accept that his parents are humans, who can make mistakes, not some perfect superheroes.

Will this bitter reality decrease Haseena’s respect in Karishma’s eyes or will it increase? Will Karishma be able to handle her own emotions and thoughts as well as Haseena? Will it finish the uniqueness and beauty of their relation or will it increase?

So, this is it......for now.
