Jab Hum Miley-Ek Bar Phir

~Manna Ke Hum Yaar Nahi~

Haseena was sitting in her cabin. She has called all of her staff members for the meeting to discuss the plan for the next few days. Cheetah, Santosh, and Karishma were present in her cabin. Pushpa Ji was on leave and Billu as usual was standing in Billu Niwas and listening to their conversation.

Haseena cleared her throat before she began speaking, "Toh hum ne aap sab ko agle kuch din ki night shifts discuss karne ke liye bulaya hai."

"Cheetah, aap aur Hum aj ki night shift karain gaye," she said while looking at Cheetah."Aur, Karishma Singh aap kal ki night duty karain gi, Cheetah ke sath," she looked at Karishma and Cheetah to make sure they understood the arrangement. "Waise bhi...Pushup ji wapas aa hi jaye gi parson," Haseena muttered to herself.

"Aur main Madam Sir," Santosh chipped in.

"Aap Santosh Sharama, aap ghar jaa sakti hain, lekin jaise hi ko emergency hui, aap ko foran ana ho ga," she said while looking at Santosh."Umeed hai, aap sab ko samajh aa gaya ho. Humein kisi bhi mamle main ghad bad nahi chaye," she looked at all of them.

"Ji, Madam Sir!" All of them said unanimously.

"Disperse!" Haseena declared and all of them left the cabin one after the other.

Around 8:30 Pm

Karishma entered Haseena's cabin and cleared her throat to gain her attention. Haseena looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Ji Boliye, Karishma Singh!"

"Chaliye khana kha li jiye," Karishma said while making eye contact with her.

"Lekin hum to aaj apna tiffin hi nahi le kar aye," she said while scratching her head.

"Toh hum bhi Kaha le kar aaye hain, Iqbal ke paas chalte hain. Aap thane wapas aa jaye ga aur hum ghar chale jayáin gaye," Karishma answered with a smile.

"Har cheez ka hal hai na aap ke pass," Haseena said while getting up from her chair.

Both of them leave thana for Iqbal's stall, leaving the sleeping Cheetah behind and Billu on the watch for the station.

Around 10:00 Pm

Karishma entered her apartment. She was relaxed and happy that without making a lot of fuss, Haseena agreed to eat."Warna bhookie wo rehti aur neend hamari Kharab hoți," She said under her breath. After locking the main door, she went into her room to freshen up and to have a very good night's sleep. Although she was lying down on her bed, sleep was nowhere near in her eyes; the memories of their past started lurking in her mind, once again.

Karishma has resigned from the student council after the elections; she informed Mr.Sharma that she will be joining the girl's basketball club as her extracurricular activity.

Mr. Sharma told Karishma to rethink her decision. He informed her that under the guidance of Haseena, she will have a lot of opportunities to learn and grow."She is an amazing coach," he said proudly.

Karishma just nodded."Humain sochne ke liye kuch time dijiye, Sir. Hum aapko ek se do din main bata dain gaye," she said. After leaving Mr. Sharma's office, Karishma started moving towards the gym for basketball practice.

As she entered the gym, she heard the crowd cheering for Haseena."Yeh, Yah per bhi hain," Karishma said with a displeased tone. She started moving towards the benches to watch the game. Once she was settled down, she heard two boys who were sitting right behind her, saying, "Yaar! Kya cheez hai, yeh Haseena Mallik. Main to rozana bas isi ko dekhne aate ho yaha." Karishma who was listening to them felt anger building in her.

The game was over and everyone started to gather around Haseena to congratulate her. Karishma saw a lot of girls and boys alike circling around her, some were blushing and some were just trying to touch her exposed skin. After some time, she saw Priya entering the circle and dragging Haseena out from the crowd while whispering something in her ear. As Haseena was dragged by Priya, Karishma saw her waving at the crowd with a slight smile on her face."Leave this place you show off," she mumbled under her breath.
