Hi everyone, By safe and enjoy!!! 

The next morning, when Karishma and Pushpa ji entered Police Station, they find it unusually silent. "Where is everyone?" Karishma asked looking around just then Santosh and Cheetah entered from behind, "Greetings madam!!" they both saluted her and before she could scold them he thought better to apologize, "Sorry madam, we got stuck in traffic that's why..." Both bowed their heads expecting a long scolding session but much to their surprise, it did not happen. Instead, Karishma added, "It's okay.....it happens sometime...." Hearing her they t once looked at her dumbfounded. Karishma on the other side wanted to say something more and was hesitating for it, "Amm....I....i want to apologize to you both.....i had unnecessarily been strict with you in all these years for getting personal with each other but you had never objected to me while the fact is that it is totally your decision and I have no say in this." It was a pleasant surprise for Pushpa ji and a shock for both Santosh and Cheetah. "Madam...please....we have never considered you only a senior but also an elder sister and Pushpa ji is like a mother to us.....this Police Station is not just our workplace but our family," Cheetah added. "Cheetah is absolutely right and who got offended by one's family." Santosh added smiling. Karishma patted her cheeks with wet eyes and added glancing both, "you both are two gems, I am glad I have in my team." "I can't tell you how much glad I am seeing your transformation.....i don't know its reason but I thank God every day for sending it back in your life," Pushpa ji added patting Karishma's cheeks in between their smiles. "Okay, now get back to work..." Karishma ordered everyone and they all dispersed towards their desk.

"By the way, yesterday madam sir was on night duty.....how can she left Police Station alone like this." Karishma thought loudly while moving towards her desk when her eyes went into S.H.O's cabin and a horrific scream escaped her mouth, "HASEENAAA!!!!" She at once ran towards her followed by everyone. With a pale face and tears streaming down her eyes, Karishma was shaking Haseena and shouting her name getting panic, "Haseena!! Wake up!! What happened to you? Haseena......Haseena.....Amma.....she is burning in fever.....Haseena....." "Madam Sir!!" Pushpa ji shook her sprinkling water droplets on her face but she was not waking up.

"Madam...madam doctor..." cheetah advised them while Santosh was rubbing Haseena's hand. "Han....ya.....yes....doctor....shorya..." With shivering hands she dialed shorya's number who picked up on the third ring, "Shory....shorya.....please....hurry up....Haseena......please......" She was crying with hiccups, words were unable to come out of her mouth. "Madam....Karishma....madam....hold yourself..." Santosh at once started patting her back while Cheetah had taken phone from her hand and added, "Shorya bhai.....Haseena madam's body is burning in fever and she is lying unconscious.....Karishma madam has been panicked seeing her...please come fast...." "Okay, okay...I am coming..." he added and hung up.

"Haseena....no..no....nothing can happen to you.....Haseena.....no no....not again...not again......Haseena.....Haseena...." Karishma was getting hyper frantically shaking her head sideways and crying hysterically while shaking Haseena. Others were extremely shocked at her reaction.....they had never seen such a reaction of her but then they had not seen this transformed Karishma too. 

"Madam...madam hold yourself....if you will lose like this then who will take care of madam sir.....nothing will happen to her....she will be alright...madam....Karishma madam hold yourself..." Cheetah said shaking her out of her trance. "Yes....yes....nothing will happen to her...I won't let it..." She mumbled, wiped away her tears, and moved ahead and lifted Haseena in her arms. "Cheetah....bring ice-water and muslin cloth.....hurry up!!" She ordered while Pushpa ji and Santosh were holding Haseena too. Together they had laid her on the bed in the room behind Police Station.

Karishma had placed Haseena's head in her lap and started applying cold water strips on her forehead and arms while tears were streaming endlessly from her eyes. "Karishma.....beta....nothing will happen to her." Pushpa ji tried to comfort her. "Nothing should happen to her, Amma....i won't be able to bear...." She mumbled softly in between her tears and kissed her forehead. "Santu....Cheetah....go outside and handle Police Station." Pushpa ji told them to which they nodded. She herself sat on another side of Haseena and started doing her strips along with Karishma. Suddenly she asked shocking Karishma, "Haseena is the one whose separation had pushed you on the death bed and now her return is the reason for your returning back to life." "Amma.....you....no.....nothing...." Karishma fumbled, stealing her eyes. "My doubt was right.....your behavior has changed since you had seen her here........She is the cause of your ten years-long pain...." Pushpa ji added with gritted teeth and Karishma could see her anger rising out of her love for herself. "Amma.....please....no.....you are taking absolutely wrong......" Karishma tried to make her understand horrified of her assumption that Haseena had intentionally pushed Karishma to the state. However, before she could say anything, Shorya entered with his medical kit and Pushpa ji stood up to give him access while Haseena was still in Karishma's lap.

He had injected a few injections, set up a glucose drip there only, prescribed a few medicines while as he was doing all this Karishma was impatiently waiting for him to say something. "What happened to her?" she asked desperately to get answers as she saw him finishing his treatment. "Amma.....please take Haseena from her lap," he told but Pushpa ji glared at him in return. "What...." he was surprised at her reaction. "She is the cause of Karishma's pain until now and you are saying me to take care of her," Pushpa ji added angrily. "What....No...no she is not...but for now...please take care of her....we will tell you everything in detail later....for now we need to focus on her health," Shorya explained to which Pushpa ji agreed reluctantly and took Haseena's head from Karishma's lap and placed it on the pillow instead of her lap and herself sat beside her and started cold water strips. Shorya held Karishma's hand and gestured her to climb down from bed who was asking him a bit scared, "Why....what ....is....she alright...Shorya."

Shorya held her through her shoulders and said looking directly in her eyes, "Karishma, first of all, hold yourself strongly and you will not panic.....okay." Karishma nodded though her heart was thudding at high speed. "She has been burning in high fever for last four to five hours and it could be very dangerous as her fever could affect her brain....but....fortunately nothing such sort of happen. I had injected her medicines which will decrease fever in few hours. But the main cause of fever is stress, mental and physical." What do you mean physical?" Karishma asked unable to understand. Shorya sighed deeply and added, "She had been starving for more than 48 hours....." "What........" Karishma's eyes bulged out while Pushpa ji gasped. "Why.......Why she was not eating anything?" she asked him. "I...I don't know....i need to do some blood test as I have doubt that she is often being so careless about it," he told him. Karishma fall back on the sofa shockingly and started crying hysterically while mumbling, "Haseena......" Shorya hugged her tightly and started patting her back.

After good 15 minutes, she gained composure and added, "I don't know what's going on with her....but I will not let her be in the pain anymore.....whatever her problem is....i will solve it." Shorya nodded and added, "I am with you at every step." "Can I know that regardless of what she did with Karishma, why you both are so worried about her? And if they both know her all their life then why Haseena had not reacted as she had?" Pushpa ji asked frustrated with so many questions. Karishma stood up from the sofa and moved towards Pushpa ji, holding her both hands, she started, "Amma....you are taking Haseena wrong. Whatever happened with me was neither because of me nor Haseena....In fact, our destiny had played the dirty game with her, we both are victims. Before, telling you anything, I want you to promise me that you will never even give a hint to her or anyone that you know everything." Pushpa ji looked in her eyes and found nothing but love, pain, and sincerity, she nodded, "Promise." After that Karishma narrated her mother-in-law everything from her accident to Haseena's memory loss, her mother's accusations on her, and their separation. By the end of the narration, both were in tears. Pushpa ji had at once hugged her daughter tightly and added, "Don't worry....i am there with you.....together we will take care of your Haseena.....now no one can separate you both." Karishma was feeling peaceful with her soothing words.

A few hours later in afternoon, Karishma had gone home to make something light for Haseena. Pushpa ji was by her side, doing cold water strips. Santosh was sitting on her leg side, pressing her legs while Cheetah was outside handling Police Station alone. It was then Haseena gained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes. She took a couple of minutes to realize her surroundings and her condition and as soon as she realized, "you..." she gasped and at once tried to sit up straight however body weakness did not let her. "Hold on...slowly madam sir...let me help you." Pushpa ji added and helped her sit up with the support of a pillow. Haseena's eyes went on Santosh who was pressing her legs, she at once withdrew her legs and added, "Santosh Sharma...what are you doing." Santosh frowned at her and once again straighten her legs and started pressing her, "I am taking care of my elder sister....who are you to stop me?" Haseena was too shocked to react. Just then Pushpa ji shouted, "Cheetah....Cheetah..." who came running and saw Haseena awake. "Thank God you gained consciousness......why won't you taking care of yourself.....you can't imagine how much scared we got." He added looking straight towards her. She was glancing at him exasperated to see their love. "Cheetah.....don't worry....I'll take her class.....but you go and bring these medicines from the medical store. Santu go outside and handle Police Station until then....and do inform Karishma that she had woken up so reach here asap with her lunch...." They both nodded and left the room to fulfill her orders while Haseena was baffled seeing their behavior, her heart was screaming at her that they love you genuinely but the mind was constantly refusing it and asking her why will they love you, no one can love you without any reason.

Clouded with all these negative thoughts, she was looking at Pushpa ji who was now glaring at her by crossing her arms to her chest, "What was that?" "What.....Push....Pushpa ji." Haseena had literally forced words out of her mouth in between her state of shock. "Look, right now I am not your junior and you are not my Madam Sir, Call me with respect....what is this 'Pushpa ji' Don't you have manners or you think being rich had exempted you from respecting elders." Pushpa ji had literally scolded her increasing her shock. "S...So...Sorry....Sorry....but...then...what...what should I call you off duty..." She once again forced her words out of her mouth while her heart was screaming at her mind have you seen, if she was greedy of your power and status, she would not have scolded you like this. 

"What type of question is this.....Call me Amma like Cheetah, Santu, and Karishma...." Pushpa ji added shrugging her shoulders casually. "Hmm???" Haseena's eyes bulged out hearing her. "My son....Karishma's husband. He is a doctor....he came to check you and he had told me that you had not eaten anything for more than 48 hours.....Are you insane? Since you stepped in Lukhnow you had not been eating anything but was doing all sorts of work and on top of that when Karishma had called you for lunch you refused and said you will have it later....and that later never came......You knew you were suffering from high fever still instead of taking medicines and resting you were doing night duty.....Tell me one thing...who had made you S.H.O, how you will handle a whole area when you can't even take care of yourself." Pushpa ji was scolding her angrily standing at her head while she was silently listening to all her scolding with wet eyes while a constant battle was going on between her mind and heart. Her mind yelled back at her heart now what you have to say, look how she is scolding, from which angle you are calling it genuine love, to which her heart retorted back this is called a mother's love, a mother will always scold her child like this only upon his or her mistakes and that's what she is doing. 

Just then Karishma entered the room with tiffin in her hand followed by Cheetah and Santosh too. Karishma added, "Very good Amma, scold her some more.....even common man remember us in need of the hour without knowing us but she had not bothered to call us for help even when we are her team," She said while opening the tiffin beside her. "Madam Sir, I had heard that you always considered your team as your family, you know we were so happy about it because we were relieved that our captain will be like us who will strengthen our familial bonds more than before.....but I was wrong you don't consider us your family," Santosh complained while once again sitting on her legs side and pressing them.

Karishma forwarded a spoon full of kichdi towards her but Haseena turned away her mouth and added, "What are you people doing? You people are bothering, unnecessarily I am absolutely fine.....It's just a fever, its normal....nothing to worry about.....instead of worrying about me you should be doing your duty," Haseena added to normalize things but her words had angered all of them. Before Karishma could burst on her, Pushpa ji came forward and literally ordered Karishma, "Karishma give that bowl to me...." Karishma handed her the bowl at the same time glaring at Haseena with her red angry eyes. Pushpa ji settled by her side, once again took a spoon full and forwarded it to her while warning her at the same time, "98 F is what we call normal......104 F is high fever, you were unconscious for nearly four hours.....it is not normal....fit that in your brain.....Now before I lose my temper and give you one or two free slaps, you need to finish this kichdi and have your medicine." She gulped down her throat seeing her anger and at once ate the morsel Pushpa ji was giving her.

Haseena had silently eaten the whole bowl when Cheetah came forward and handed her tablets with a glass of water, "Have these medicines.....these are important. Your blood reports will come tomorrow according to which doctor will take forward your treatment......Please, please take care of yourself....." he added with all the love and respect for her. She glanced at everyone one by one and for the first time she had seen such love and respect in someone else's eyes for herself and with that her heart won the battle going on between her heart and mind as her mind accepted you were right their love and care is genuine but...." At once her heart intervened and added keep your ifs and buts for later right now let me feel the peace their angry glares and lovely scolding are giving me. Haseena gave a peaceful smile enough to calm the storm going on inside Karishma. 

Haseena was feeling herself short of words so just added one line, "you are right....you are my family." She looked at Pushpa ji andadded with wet eyes and a big smile, "And Amma, I will fall ill again and againbecause nothing had ever gave me such immense peace as your scolding" With that sheput her head on Pushpa ji's lap and encircled her arms around her waist. Pushpa jismiled, kissed her head, and started patting it slightly. Everyone was smilingseeing this but the happiest soul was Karishma, she was on cloud nine seeing hergetting one step closer to all. "Okay, Amma is with her, we should go outside, alot of work is pending," Karishma added softly and they moved outside.

So how was it??
