*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

It was 6 in the evening... The weather was all dark and gloomy... Indicating something big is gonna happen.. definitely it's not a good sign... Trees were struggling to hold their roots because of fast and strong north easterly winds ..... Amid all this.... A person was sitting in jail silently observing everything... Karishma hasn't said anything since she was arrested.... she is carrying a bundle of emotions within her... But no one is here to listen to her... No one is here to comfort her... To make her understand....

Her eyes were red... Maybe because of the dust of the lock up or because of excessive crying.... Her brother amar tried to visit her but police officials stopped him saying no family can meet the suspect in the Custody ...... Files were still not provided to her... Looks like even destiny was against her....

The one murder .... For which Karishma was accused... It was not a complicated one.... Just wrong arguments at the wrong time made it.... pushpa Singh.... Pushpa Singh was a support to Karishma who took her out of hell.... Karishma worshipped pushpa Singh as a mother as well as God who helped her at her worst time.... Maybe she wouldn't be here if pushpa Singh hadn't supported Karishma.....

Karishma was lost in her own world when she hears a loud voice... Definitely she didn't expected that....

"So how are you Ms. Singh? " Asked Haseena standing out side of the lockup while police constable was opening the lock.... She entered in the lockup when constable left the place again locking it.....

Karishma didn't reply anything and continues to stare at the ground finding the way to escape from here....

"I am asking you something " Haseena says settling beside the Karishma on prison bed....

"I am not interested to answer you anything " says Karishma in a pitched voice ... May be her throat is aching......

"But you have to.... I don't have time for other bull shits " says Haseena arrogantly taking out a notepad and a pen.....

"Why you killed Ms. Pushpa Singh " asked Haseena directly.... Her heart ached asking this but an advocate can't be emotional.... They work on evidence not on feelings....

"I didn't " says Karishma while closing her fists tightly in a try to consume her anger and hurt.... Her eyes were already wet..... Gulit, sadness, remorse, anger, hurt everything was depicting through her eyes.....

"Why you went to the Singh's house?" Asked Haseena nodding her head.... She was clearly able to see the sadness and honesty... But her heart and mind was now at struggle... Should she trust someone who is prime suspect or should she continue to treat her the same way...

"What will you do? " Asked Karishma maintaining the eye lock with Haseena for first time... Haseena got scared for a second looking at the vulnerable condition of Karishma whose cheeks were turned brown because of dust and tears while her eyes were blood shot red... Her hands had little bruises while her hairs were all messy....

"Did someone misbehaved with you? " Asked Haseena to Karishma and took out her handkerchief from back pocket....

"Doesn't matter " replied Karishma breaking the eye contact and turned her head to opposite direction... Haseena didn't replied anything and moved to the corner of the lockup where a water pot was kept with a attached steel glass.. she took out some water and dipped her handkerchief.... She comes back to Karishma and wipes her bruised hands with it....

Karishma didn't say anything in return... She needed someone who could listen to her... Who will support her... Who care for her and most important... Who'll trust her .... Haseena washes the cloth in the glass and carefully wiped Karishma face with her wet handkerchief..... she throw the dirty water in a corner and washes off the glass....

"Did they misbehaved with you? " Asked Haseena again settling beside Karishma.... She keeps her hand on Karishma's...... Karishma didn't say anything in return while tears again roll down her eyes remembering the embarassment that she had to face....

*FLASHBACK....

A lady police officer drag Karishma in the station..... She orders the constable to take everything from the karishma... As according to the law... No accessories.. devices.... Jewellery is allowed.... Karishma silently keeps her wallet, mobile, watch, and rings in the tray.....

"Keep that locket also" said the constable arrogantly pointing at locket that Karishma wore on the day of Pushpa Singh death.... Karishma clutches her locket and nodded her head in no.... It was the only last sign of her mother's love...

"Please let it be with me...." Says Karishma in a terrible voice when the constable grabs Karishma's locket and pulls it from her neck....

It was the first time when a renowned lawyer was at such a terrible state begging to keep the locket with her.... All the police staff were witnessing it and joking at Karishma....

"Look at her... She is the same lawyer who alliged our SHO that day in the court.... Look at her.. she is at the same position... Karma always hits back... Now she is at the mercy of our sir ..... " Says one of the constable when she was thrown in the jail causing her hands to get collapse on the marble floor bruising her hands...

*FLASHBACK END....

Haseena was observing Karishma's every action and her heart was not ready to accept the fact that Karishma is the murderer.... Karishma still didn't said or complaint about anything to Haseena.... She herself was feeling pity on Karishma... As no matter what... Karishma is a respected lawyer....

"Speak up Karishma... Don't you want to get out from here? " Asked Haseena to Karishma while wiping Karishma's tears.... Karishma shockingly looks at Haseena... Definitely surprised.... Why an opponent is willing to take her out....

"Why are you so surprised? White coat is to save lives... Black coat is to serve justice... And I will not let any innocent suffer " says Haseena while pointing at her black lawyer coat... Karishma smiles at her a little and nodded her head....

"Then why you blamed me? " Finally Karishma said a full sentence.... Haseena gives a small painful smile to Karishma and replies... " I didn't knew then that you are such pure heart"
