Under the moonlight

After all four of them had their dinner together, Haseena decided to stay there of the rest of the night..

Anubhav was already asleep in his room while Haseena and Vyom were drying the wet dishes and Karishma was just munching a chocolate bar.

After they had done their job Haseena went to Karishma's room to sleep while Karishma was walking slowly towards her room..

Before entering her room she turned  towards Vyom, who by then had plugged in his earphones and was already on his way to his room. He didnt notice her so she didn't bothered to call him too..

However before closing the door of her room, she looked upwards where Vyom's room was. Vyom too at that moment turned to have a glance at her and they had an eye contact for a few seconds which was broken when Vyom shifted his gaze uncomfortably tousling his hair, and Karishma mumbled a soft 'goodnight'.

He mumbled a goodnight at her too and disappeared in his room.

Karishma lay in her bedroom too but sleep was far away from her eyes. She kept nudging Haseena every second waking her up too.

"Karishma!!! I have a duty tomorrow let me sleep"

"Haseena please just listen to me once!!"

"What"

"Do you think Vyom can be a serial killer who followed me to my house?"

"Shut up Karishma!! I cant sacrifice my sleep for your stupid overthinking"

"I'm just presenting a case"

"well in that case, I am an S.H.O who should've been alerted about a serial killer roaming in the city.. And your beloved brother is an officer in the RAW.. He can suspect something wrong in a glimpse.."

"But what if...."

"Stop being so sceptic about everyone. Try to trust people Karishma.."

"I cant trust people"

"Its fine if you can't, but you need to stop thinking everybody is a terrorist or a serial killer for God's sake"

Karishma just giggled at Haseena's visible annoyance. And Haseena rested her hand on Karishma's stomach and slept and after a few minutes of overthinking every possible scenario of Vyom being a serial killer, Karishma slept too.

The next morning she woke up hearing whispers and giggles. To her shock Anubhav and Haseena were in the room, who went quiet as soon as they noticed she was awake.

"what" karishma asked in a sore voice

"nothing, we've just been laughing about how you think every other person is a terrorist or a serial killer" Anubhav said having a hard time controlling his laughter.

"You guys can't make fun of me like that, people do have trust issues"

Anubhav and Haseena broke into a fit of laughter while she just stood there irritated.

"Listen I know he is Rituraj uncle's son, and I even had a conversation with him yesterday.. I was just presenting a case of what if like just imagine what if he was someone suspicious."

But to Karishma's annoyance, Haseena and Anubhav started laughing even more loudly. She stormed towards the bathroom and shut the door at their faces.

Few hours later, Karishma went towards the living room and was stopped by Anubhav who handed her a parcel, and asked her to hand it over to Vyom.

She went to his room and knocked. Upon recieving no response for a few minutes she opened the door herself and peeked inside.

Vyom was nowhere to be seen. She stood at the doorstep for a few seconds and then finally moved inside. Noticing how perfectly he set his room.
