"Aapse yeh ummeed kabhi nahi kiye thy hum maddam sir!! Aap aisi hain? Is tarah ki harkat kar sakti hain aap??" Karishma shouted at her but Haseena was just looking at her.

Her eyes became wet and she just walked out of the kitchen without even replying her. Karishma still hadn't recovered from the shock when Shazia entered the kitchen after being stopped by Ammi multiple times as she didn't want to disturb the romance.

"Karishma Madam, dessert ka intezar kar rahe hain sab bahar" She said breaking Karishma's chain of thoughts.

"Ha...hmmm...haan ....tum lekar chalo...Shazia... Hum bhi aate hain" She said to her. Shazia nodded and moved out of the kitchen.

Karishma too followed her a minute later. She reached the dining area but didn't find Haseena there.
"Karishma... Haseena Kahan hai?" Ammi asked teasingly.

"Maddam sir?" Karishma mumbled, "vo yahan nahi aayin?"

"Nahi toh... Maddam sir ihaan nahi aayin madam!" Cheetah said.

"Shyad room mein gayin hongi... Aap log meetha lijiye na" she added.

The day went good with team MPT. Though after that incident Haseena was absent. Karishma thought about her once or twice but then shrugged off.
"Karishma, Haseena Kahan hai bacche? Sab jaane ke liye bol rahe hain" Haseena's grandmother asked Karishma..

"Dadi DSP sir ney ek urgent meeting ke liye bulaya hai unhe... Unhone bola hai ki der ho jayega" Karishma told her to which she nodded.

In the evening, Pushpa ji and cheetosh left the house. Everybody was asking about Haseena but Karishma made the excuse that she had been to a meeting with DSP. After everyone's departure, Karishma went to her room and changed into her night clothes.

She was sitting on her bed, holding her phone in her hand...but her brain was occupied with the thoughts of kitchen incident. She remembered their kiss. With the thought only, her cheeks started heating up. She didn't realize when her fingers started lingering on her lips, feeling that feeling. She shrugged off all the thoughts as soon as anger rushed in. She was mad at Haseena for kissing her, and for kissing her without her permission.

But a part of her was worried about Haseena as she isn't home since afternoon. It has been two more hours there was no sign of Haseena. By the time her anger has melted too and concern has taken its place. She tried Haseena's number but it was off. She waited for some more time but when Haseena didn't arrive, she got up, wore her slippers and moved out the room. She was about to go downstairs when Haseena's brother called her.

"Karishma? Kahan jaa rahi ho itni raat mein?" He asked her.

"Kahin nahi bhai.." she lied.

"Haseena aa gayi?" He asked. Karishma lowered her head and shook her head sideways.

"Bhai wo...hamara chota sa jhagda ho gaya tha... Aur vo kahin chali gayin hain... Phone nahi utha rahi hain... Pata nahi kahan chali gayin hain" She told him worriedly while having tears in her eyes.

"Accha accha... Panic mat ho... I know wo kahan hogi... Main dekhta hoon, tum yahan ruko" Aman said and Karishma nodded her head.

-
Haseena was sitting in a bench of a park. At this hour, there was no crowd. She was unable to divert her brain from thinking about the incident happened today. The slap she'd received from Karishma was still ringing in her ears.

"Haseena" she heard a familiar voice. Haseena wiped her unshed tears, plastered a smile on her lips and looked at the source of voice.

"Chhoti..." Aman sat beside her and engulfed her in a side hug.
