HM: Kuch toh khaa lo Karishma, subah se bhookhi ho

Haseena was following her younger sister around the house trying to get a morsel of food into her mouth. Meanwhile, Karishma was gathering her belongings and getting ready to leave for a case investigation.

KS: Chodo na didi, bohot kaam hai aaj. Waise bhi raat ko pet bhar ke khaana hi hai

HM: Arre par-

KS: Par var kuch nahi, bahar se khaa lenge hum

HM: Pakka?

KS: Haan pakka, ab bye

Karishma gave her a flying kiss and shut the door behind her. Haseena shook her head and went back inside. Anubhav had purposefully given her a day off for Karwachauth as he knew she wouldn't apply for a leave herself. And now Haseena was stuck inside, with a saree heavier than her body weight and an extremely hyper, over-stressed mother. 

Great.

Karishma completed the investigation and went straight to her relative's home. Just like every year, all the women in the neighbourhood were gathered there for Karwachauth Pooja. She'd never done the pooja and fortunately wouldn't have to this year either but was always dragged along to help with preparations. She was carrying a plate of flowers to put them near the goddess's idol, when she suddenly felt dizzy. Karishma put the plate aside and balanced herself with the support of a table.

KS(to herself): Arghhh humko didi ka baat sunna chahiye tha, case mein itna vyast hogaye ki khane ka time hi nahi mila

She closed her eyes for a few seconds to steady herself then opened them again. Karishma was about to take back the plate of flowers when her gaze fell on the window on the wall beside her. It was covered with a tight net instead of a glass panel allowing fresh air to enter the house. Diyas were placed on the ledge in front of it to decorate the house. She looked out the window and realized she wad crouched at a perfect angle to be able to see the moon clearly. Indeed, it looked beautiful today.

She kept staring out the window, allowing the fresh air to brush her face. Suddenly, a face popped up on the other side of the window and Karishma almost jumped back with a hand on her chest. It took her a moment to process what happened and bit her lip in anger seeing the person on the other side.

KS: Ama dara diye tum humko! (still shocked) Aise jhatke mat diya karo

VS: Theek hai, abhi nahi toh shaadi ke baad

KS: Jyada chant banne ka jarurat nahi hai, samjhe? Warna yahin ke yahin dhulaai kardenge tumhara

VS: Karo dhulaai, waise bhi patti karte waqt aansu tumhari hi aankh se niklenge

KS: Tum na maar khaaoge humse! (with gritted teeth)

VS: Maarke dikhao (smirking)

KS: Jaa rahi hun mai!

Karishma picked up the plate of flowers and left, completely forgetting about the moon. Veyom placed a hand on his heart dramatically: uff yeh gussa

Karishma put away the flowers and went towards the kitchen to get a glass of water. She didn't want to risk getting dizzy again, especially in front of Haseena. Just then, a voice stopped her from behind. Karishma turned around and smiled.
