It had been three hours since Karishma’s call time has been passed. She was asked to keep waiting much to her utter displeasure. She was seeing that no one has been made to wait like her, unable to know its reason she was getting more and more frustrated. Realizing her rising anger and in an attempt to distract herself she moved out of the building to take a walk in fresh air.

Standing in front of glass window of her room, all of this was being noticed by Haseena, “good attempt!!” her eyes glinted with pride as she remarked with a slight smile lingering on her lips. She pressed her earpiece, with the eyes fixed on Karishma, “Go ahead!!” and then hung up.

Karishma was randomly observing her surroundings while having a walk when her eyes went on group of three female. Sitting on the greens they were laughing and gossiping having chips and juice. Ignoring them she continued walking to other side passing by them. When a box of juice hit her foot, a sudden surge of anger raced through her but she controlled herself next instant and taking a deep breath she walked towards them, “Excuse me!! It seems you had not seen the board, there.” She gestured at their left where “Throw the garbage in bin” was written above a bin. They once looked at her from bottom to top, then towards the board and rolled their eyes. “No, we haven’t!!!” one of them replied rudely and they resumed talking to each other, completely ignoring Karishma’s angry glares and clenched fists.

“No, No, No, please Karishma, hold on…..please…please….” Haseena mumbled to herself, worriedly standing at her window, wishing desperately for her to pass the test.

“Look, you seems educated girls from a well-off background to me. Such manner less and irresponsible behaviour doesn’t suits you. Not only to environment but such unhygienic activities are even harmful to your health too. So, please pick up the garbage you three are throwing here and there and put it in bin placed there,” Karishma tried to made them understand with a soft tone.

Hearing her Haseena raised her eyebrows impressed, “Wow!! Karishma Singh attempting to solve a problem by words…..good improvement!!” she added to herself with a proud and relieved smile.

“Oh hello madam, we don’t need any low class’ unnecessary lectures…..if it is troubling you so  much then pick them up and throw them there yourself…..otherwise mind your own business!!” another girl blurted arrogantly increasing Karishma’s anger.

Seeing Karishma once again clenching her fists, Haseena’s heart beat increased once again due to nervousness.

However much to her surprise, Karishma walked away from there. She saw her talking to another group of girls at a distance. Before she could understand anything, she found the group of girls, by passing former one and throwing the wrappers on them. “OOHHH!!! Can’t you see bin is there?” the same girl shouted who had misbehaved with Karishma. “We have……but we saw you enjoying sitting in between garbage so thought to increase your enjoyment,” one of them retorted while all others around them giggled mockingly much to their embarrassment. Next instant those three girls have picked up their wrappers and threw them in bin. Then, they walked towards Karishma, who was standing at a side with her hands crossed at her chest and apologized to her. Karishma nodded and passed a smile to them.

“Stunning, Karishma!!! Proud of you!!” Haseena jumped excitedly with a relieving breath and added, “Two down, two more to go!!”

Upon reaching the reception, Karishma asked irritated, “How long I have to wait, its’ been four hours…..What is the problem? Please tell me…” “Mam….actually…”receptionist was about to respond but a loud voice caught her attention.

“How many times I had to tell you di, that I am grown up? Why can’t you leave me alone?” a young girl of mid-twenties was shouting at her elder sister who approached her lovingly to calm her down.

“Look…..shali….calm down bacha…..” she added with soft voice trying to hold her through her upper arm.

But she jerked her away, “No!! Stop it!! I am not a kid…..i don’t need your smothering……I have told you to that I can manage this event on my own……but you still came behind me…..have you ever thought about me…..my subordinates were making fun of me that I can’t even manage a simple event without your support…..they think I am incapable.”

“Please….bacha….you are taking me wrong…..your competitor Murtaza is trying to ruin this event and your career…..i was just trying to protect you….” elder one tried once again with wet eyes and feeble voice, being extremely hurt.

“No, all of these are lame excuses…..in reality you are jealous of me because you  know that if I pull this event successfully then dad will promote me to your level!!!” Hearing her harsh words, elder one closed her eyes and tears which was floating in her eyes fell down her cheeks.
Their fight had taken Karishma in her memories, she was imagining Haseena and herself in their shoes at the moment, unknown to her, her own face completely got drenched with tears and her eyes got reddened with anger. With clenched fists she marched towards them, ready to break the bones of younger one for her audacity.

Other side, Haseena’s heart beat was increasing twice the speed of Karishma’s moving feet. She was rubbing her hands and exhaling deep breathes, attempting to ease her heightened nervousness.

“Enough!!!” Karishma’s loud roar compelled the younger one to shut her mouth and looked at her. Just as everyone was expecting a tight slap from Karishma to her, what she did shocked everyone.

She held her both hands and said looking straight in her eyes, “Stop getting angry unnecessarily, take a few deep breathes and first calm you nerves…..”
That girl gave Karishma a confused and irritated look, “Excuse me….who are you to advise me like this?”

Karishma chuckled slightly and added, “Who am I?? I am your future……” with that another tear rolled down her cheek. She walked turned slightly and added, “Tomorrow you will be so ashamed and guilt of hurting your elder sister……just like I am…..” she mumbled last words slowly. Wiped her tears, stood in front of her and added, “I don’t know exactly what happened between you but I want you to listen to what I did with someone, who loves me just like your sister loves you……may be it will help you to see clearly.” With that she held her hand and made her sat at one of the sofas, her elder sister also joined them.

Karishma started off and confessed to her everything that happened between her and Haseena, “That’s why I am saying…..before reaching to any conclusion, check the facts.....you can’t afford to lose her if she loves you genuinely…..and I believe she does….otherwise she would not be here even after taking public insult from you.” as Karishma finished, she was drenched in tears and looked at her sister with guilty eyes. Next moment Karishma find her crying and apologizing to her elder sister clinging to her who was smiling with happy tears and a peaceful smile.

Other side, Haseena was the most proud and happy soul at that moment…..her piece of heart, her soul, her dear best friend Karishma she was seeing today was someone she always wished to see. She at once turned, rang the bell and her assistant came inside, “Have you brought all this things I had asked?” her voice was filled with excitement and face was beaming with joy. “Yes doc, I had sent them in the room too.” She responded with a pleasant smile seeing her smiling after many days. Haseena nodded and almost ran out of her cabin towards the room.
As she was moving towards the room she heard someone taking her name. Rotating her head, she searched its source, only to see two junior doctors backbiting about her, “I am sick of Dr. Haseena…..i don’t know what she think of herself…..who design such anger management courses, nerve breaking and exhausting for even we doctors too!!” one of them said. “Really yar!! We are here from last 48 hours….we are psychologists not surgeons….to give such long duties!! Don’t know what she does at her Police Station….her poor staff who bear her for such a long time period!!” the other one added seconding her.

Haseena had once looked at them who were following her instructions only and then at Karishma who had heard them and was walking towards them both in sheer anger, smacking her forehead she mumbled, “it seems everything is about to go down the drain….how can I forget the last test….”

“How dare you…..???” Karishma roared upon reaching them. “Excuse me!!” one of them responded rolling her eyes to her. “How dare you to bad mouth about Haseena madam in front of Karishma Singh…..don’t you love your life!!!” she shouted enraged. “Look madam, you are not in uniform right now and moreover, we haven’t done any crime….we were just using our tongue and you can’t do anything about that….” Second doctor responded rudely. Karishma had raised her hand to slap her but before it could touch the doctor, she stopped herself, closed her eyes, closed it into fist tightly and left the place without saying anything.

“Karishma!!!” a very worried Haseena ran behind her. Following her she reached out of the building only to see her releasing her anger by running around the greens. Tears of pride rolled down her eyes, “I am proud of you Karishma!!” she mumbled to herself and once again ran towards the room to resume with what she had planned.
