Morning
7 A.M.
DS woke up, her eyes were red, seems that she didn't sleep at night. She goes to freshen herself up. Then, she prepares breakfast, and while preparing she receives a notification.
.
"Aaj tum Karishma ko leke aaogi?" Agar haan toh come by 9 A.M., yeh session lamba hoga so, jaldi ho sake utna acha, I will be waiting for you all."
.
Divya sighs and wakes Anubhav up, and goes to Karishma's room. She stops for a while staring at the door. With a deep breath she enters the room. She sits beside Karishma and kisses her on her forehead.
Karishma slowly opens her eyes and smiles at her mother, she hugs her and sleeps again. DS chuckles at her cute and lazy antics.
.
DS- Happy (stops).. Happy Birthday Karishma.
.
KS- Hmm Good Night Amma.
.
DS- Arrey Utho nai Happy Birthday keh rahi hun. Aaj ke din toh aalas mat dikhao.
.
KS- Thank You Amma. Ab hum so rahe hai aaj ke din sone do naa plz.
.
DS- Nai, aaj tumhare liye ek surprise hai. 9 baje tak nikalna hai. Chalo, warna late ho jaayenge. Aur yeh "Tunhari life ka sabse bada surprise hoga"
.
KS- Aarey waah, lagta hai koi badi planning hai? (Excited)
.
DS (not making any eye contact) - Chalo ready ho jao.
.
KS- Jarur (jumps from her bed)

KS receives a notification

- YOURS HASEENA
Karishma feels overwhelmed by the message, she smiles like an Idiot and a tears where ready to come out of her eyes. She likes the message and goes to get ready for the surprise her mother has been planning. Deep down she was feeling nervous, but she ignored thinking that it because of her birthday.
.
After having the breakfast, DS brings a blindfolder and covers Karishma's eyes. And the trio drive to Doctor's clinic.
.
After half an hour they reach the clinic and takes Karishma inside the clinic, they make her sit in a room where Doctor was sitting in front of her. He asks DS to remove her blindfold, and she does that. Karishma's expression changes quickly as soon as she sees the doctor who had treated her two years back. She never expected to come here again. She looks at DS with confusion.
.
Doctor - Hello Karishma, Happy Birthday.
.
KS- Thank You, par hume yahan kyu bulaya hai?
.
Doctor - Tumse kuch baat karni thi,bas ek chota sa session hai fir tum jaa sakti ho.
.
KS- Par, ab kyu, ab hum theek ho chuke hai, toh fir yeh sab kyu?
.
Doctor - Acha? Theek ho gayi ho toh itna dar kyu rahi ho? Bas answer me and you are allowed to go.
.
KS- Thik hai, puchiye jo puchna hai. (Annoyed)
.
Doctor - Haseena Mallik. Kaisi hai woh?
.
KS- Hum kya jaane woh kahan hai? Humari do saal se baat nai ho rahi unse, ek min? Aapko Haseena ke baare mai kaise pta chala? Aap Haseena ko jaante hai? Par aap humse yeh sawal kyu kar rahe hai? Woh theek toh hai naa?
.
Doctor - Waah, ek taraf bolti ho hum kya jaane, fir uski chinta karti ho! Sahi hai.
.
KS- Yeh humare sawal ka jawab nai tha.
.
Doctor - Toh aapne bhi kahan humare swal ka uttar diya. Simple hai Karishma, jo hum puch rahe hai sidha sidha batao. Get that?
.
KS nods.
.
Doctor - Haan, toh chalo, Haseena ke saath tunhari pehli mulakat batao.
.
KS- Hum Haseena se do saal pehle mile the, kuch bache hume class mai bully kar rahe the, toh unhone aake hume bachaya tha, fir woh wahan se gayab ho gayi thi, fir baad mai unhi ka call aaya hume, woh baat kisi aur se karna chahti thi, par hume lag gaya tha, aur tab se humari dosti ho gayi.
.
Doctor- Intresting... Aur jhagda woh kaise hua?
.
KS turns back to her mother and gestures her an angry look for telling everything to the doctor. DS awkwardly smiles as she was left with no option..
.
Doctor- Idhar Karishma, hume jawab dijiye.
.
KS- Unhe laga hum unhe use kar rahe hai, toh unhone humse dosti tod di, bas itna hi.
.
Doctor- Aur tumne Roka bhi nai?
.
KS- Nai, kyuki jab humne kuch galat kiya nai toh hum kyu kuch kare.
.
Doctor- Jahan tak mai tumhe jaanta hun, tumhare saath jo bhi galat hota hai usse thik karti ho, toh Haseena ke time pe kyu haar maan gayi?
.
KS- Ama bola naa(loosing her paitence) sorry sorry, Humne kaha naa, hume nai baat karni thi. Ab unhe hum galat lagte hai toh kya kare.
.
Doctor- Too illogical to believe Karishma, acha ab tumhe subah Haseena ne text kyu kiya tha, agar tumhari baat nai hoti toh.
.
KS gets a shock listening this Her eyes widen up.
.
Doctor- Tumhari mamma ne bataya aaj Haseena ka text aaya tha, birthday wish hi kiya hoga, par kyu, kal jab tumhari mamma ne usse invite karne ke liye kaha tha tab toh tumne mana kar diya tha ab kaise baat ho gayi usse?
.
Flashback
.
DS was going to leave KS room when she sees Karishma is smiling looking at her phone, and hears Karishma whispering to herself "Haseena bhi naa". Her mother gets alert, and as soon as Karishma goes to her washroom she takes her phone and checks it. She finds no new messages from yesterday, then how come she was smiling and texting someone. She searches for Haseena's contact but there was nothing neither calls from Haseena, nor texts from Haseena. She calls the doctor to inform this. And now he used this thing in the interrogation.
.
KS just looks at him, she is speechless.
.
Doctor- Chup rehne ka koi fayda nai hai Karishma Singh, batao yeh tum dono ne kyu kiya!
.
KS- Has... (Struggling to speak) Haseena ne kaha tha.
.
Doctor- Kyu?
.
KS- Kyuki unhe laga tha ki Aamma aur bhaiyaa humari dosti zayda din tikne nai denge, unhe dar lagta tha.
.
Doctor cuts her- Yahi ki unko sach pta chal gaya toh kya hoga, Unhe pta chal gaya ki tumne apni medicines lena band kardi hai uske influence mai toh woh usse nai chodenge, aur Haseena unse kabhi nai milegi, hainaa!
.
KS nods.
.
Doctor- Abhi Haseena kahan hai aur kya kar rahi hai?
.
KS- Hume nai pta, hume subha unka text aaya tha
.
Doctor- Woh tumse do saal badi thi na, toh ofc abhi college mai hogi, naam kya hai uske college kaa?
.
KS- Hume... Hume nai ptaa.
.
Doctor- Kamal hai tumhari dost hai aur tumhe nai pta! Acha koi aur toh hoga na uske contact mai, uske mamma papa, uska ghar?
.
KS- Haseena ke mamma papa, hamesha out of town rehte hai, woh ghar bhi akele sambhalti hai, woh humare ghar ke 2 lane pehle house number 23 mai rehti hai.
.
Doctor- Okay, ek sec.
.
He takes out his phone and texts DS to enquiry about the house. After 10 minutes DS texts him that the house has been abandoned from 5 years and no one is living there. Then he asks the number of the landlord who wanted to sell this house. After receiving the number he calls the landlord and puts his phone on speaker.
.
Doctor - Hello Sir, mujhe aapke ghar Lane C house number 23 rent mai lena tha. Abhi koi rehta hai kya udhar?
.
Receiver- Nai Sir, woh ghar pichhle 5 saal se band hai, Infact abhi uski construction abhi renew hui hai, aap dekhna chahenge?
.
Doctor- Par woh ghar mai toh koi bachi Haseena Mallik rehti thi naa?
.
Receiver- Sorry Sir, aapko galat fehmi hui hai, maine kaha na ghar pichle 5 saal se band tha. Yahan koi Haseena Mallik yaar fir koi aaya hai, inn 5 saal mai aap hi aaye hai.
.
KS remembers something
"KS- Haseena aap kahan rehti hai?
HM- Yeh lane ke house 23 mai.
KS- Par waha toh koi nai rehta woh toh 3 saal se band hai .
HM- Haan, par ab humne le liya hai. "
.
Doctor- Acha mai aapko call karta hai, Thank You. (cuts the call)
.
Doctor looks at Karishma who was staring at the phone blankly.
.
Doctor- Kuch kehna chahogi? Mai tumhe normally bhi bta sakta tha, par of course Tumhe humpe yakeen nai hota. Isliye mujhe call karna pada.
.
KS- Par Haseena ne toh hume....
.
Doctor- Tum kabhi uske ghar gayi thi?
.
KS- Nai, woh hi aa jaati thi, infact, jab bhi hume unko jarurat padhti yaa zara sa bhi yaad aati, woh turant aa jaati thi.
.
Flash
"KS- Waise aap aayi kaise?
HM- (smiles) Woh Kya hai na Karishma Singh, hum zarurat ke samay pahuch jaate hai kahan, kaise, kab yeh toh hume bhi nai pta hota. "
.
Doctor- Shayad tumhe samjh mai aa raha hai, acha Bura na maano toh tumhara aur Haseena ke texts dekh sakta hun?
.
KS- (shouts) Ama kaa baikati hai? Kyu humse Haseena ke liye itne sawal kiye jaa rahe hai? Hua kya hai koi hume batayega? Chal kaa rhaa hai idhar! Aur humse hi kyu swala kiye jaa rahe hai?
.
Doctor- Shant ho jao Karishma, tumhare alwava Haseena ko kon jaanta hai bhala. Acha ab texts dekh sakta hun?
.
KS gives him the phone.
.
Doctor- Number?
.
KS- Amm.... ( Hume yaad kyu nai aa raha hai, kya ho raha hai humare saath)
.
KS- Laaiye hum dete hai
.
KS searches for Haseena's number but there is no contact with that name. Sweat starts coming out of her face, she was breathing heavily, she was not in state to belive, what was happening with her. She almost scanned the phone twice, but there was no trace of Haseena.
