COURT CASE.....

PAST**

"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"

Karishma gives a small smile to Haseena and sits resting her back to the wall while Haseena was waiting for Karishma to open up....

"Why are you here?" Finally Karishma asked Haseena the main point of the visit... Why a opposition lawyer is in the jail to meet her.....

"What do you mean?" Asked Haseena confusingly looking at Karishma whose eyes were somewhere different.... Dark but deep .... Wet but not teary.... Red but not anger or sadness ......

"I have just one question and if you made me trust you... I will tell you every single thing... But if you couldn't.... You will leave me on my own condition and will not ask any question.... " Said Karishma forwarding her hand for promise......

Haseena thinks for sometime and says "done"... She keeps her hand on Karishma's fir promise .....

"So why are you here and willing to help me" asked Karishma her only question.... She looks deeply into Haseena eyes for any type of fear... Confusion... Suspect but our Haseena is so trained in Hiding her emotions.....

"To be honest, I was here to take your confession.... To trap you further .... I wanted to gather other proves.... But after seeing your condition... Your heart and pure emotions... I am sure you can't murder Pushpa ji.... Not even her but anyone... You can't murder anyone.... And I can't let any innocent suffer .... It's against my ethics...." Said Haseena being honest.... Yes, it's true she wanted Karishma to taste her own medicine..... But ofcourse... She had an unknown connection with her.... She had some new feelings.... May be of enemity... Sympathy or guilt.......

"So you just want to help me because of your ethics?" Asked Karishma's looking deep in Haseena's eyes .. she wanted to knew Haseena's true intention... She didn't want to suffer once again....

Haseena was bewildered and shocked listening to her... But ofcourse... It give her a new question... Did she really want to help Karishma because of ethics? May be yes or may be no... Haseena thinks for sometime and nodded her head in yes ....

"Uhm... So what do you want to know? " Asked Karishma finally trusting one more person in her life.... May be Haseena is genuine person and will take her out of here.....

"So let's start from beginning.... What's your connection with pushpa Singh .. I mean why did you live with her rather than your parents?" Asked Haseena taking out her notepad and pen ... She didn't want to miss any detail.... She want to knew every tiny detail...

"Uhm... So pushpa Singh is my aunt.... My mother's sister..... She didn't have any children because her husband was found dead in their garden.... According to postmortem report.... Because of a heart attack... Pushpa maa was broken.... She didn't had any hope... When my father decided to give amar to pushpa maa... Amar is my biological brother .... He was just 3 months old when pushpa maa adopted him and he became a hope for pushpa maa... She started living for him...." Said Karishma being lost in deep memory lane.... A dark and scary.... Haseena was surprised in learning that Aman is Karishma's biological brother.... But the mystery was still same....

"After 3 years .... My mother again got pregnant with me... But this time? She has complications.... Doctors warned my father and mother.... My father was even ready for abortion but my mother adamant.... She suffered all the complications and at last sacrificed her life while giving birth to me ..... But as all asian parents.... My father also wanted a boy... Who can handle his legacy.... No doubt he loved my mother ... But not more than his legacy.... And I? I was burden on that.... Being a orthodox.... He started raising me ..... He didn't even married again.... Because I was there.... " Haseena keeps her hand on Karishma's shoulder.... Yeah every girl can feel this pain.... First being born as a girl in the family is itself considered as sin.. and then struggles to study... To get respect... To raise the voice is other trouble.... Karishma's eyes were wet... She wanted to cry....

"I gradually grow up.... I never spent any time with her... I wasn't attached with him... But now... I wanted to study.... I used to see children going school wearing cleaned neet uniforms with bagpacks.... And it always attracted me.... I wanted too... I approached my father and told him about my wish.... He didn't gave any reaction and ignored me thinking I am joking.... Next day... I again told him about my wish ... But this time he had emotion ... He was angry..... He strictly refused me.... And told me to focus on house... As no matter what? This is my future.... Time starts passing.... I used to request him everyday until he raised his hand on me.... I stopped talking to him... I locked myself in my room and stopped every single interaction with him.... I always ignored him and gradually.... we became polled apart... my life was a living hell... staying locked in 4 walls..... until when Pushpa maa visited us for first time...." A single tear dropped down Karishma's eyes and her grip on her own knees gets tighter.... She closes her eyes to hold her emotions when Haseena takes Karishma in a side hugs...... Karishma silently wraps her hands around Haseena and keeps her head on her shoulder....

She was me drawing on the floor... I was scared she will tell my father about it but instead she gave me a paper and pencil... That was the first time when I touched them .... I really didn't know how it worked when she asked me about my study .... And upon getting truth .... She walked to my father ... She fought for him for me .... For my study...... She warned my father about the court case when My father said she don't want me .... I was a small child and all this was new for me... I didn't know what they mean... But as I gained my conscience... All things started making sense .... Pushpa maa bought me with her and raised me... She gave all the things to me... Amar also loved me like a big brother.... They got me admission in top school while Amar used to teach me personally.... And today I am a reputed lawyer... Just because of her.... If she hadn't fought with my father than I would had been like the most of the woman.... Working in house 24x7".... Haseena tightens her grip around Karishma and pulls her..... Karishma keeps her head on Haseena chest crying heavily... As no matter what... If you are a girl... You have to face it at a point of time... May be in past or future.... Karishma lost the person who guarded her.... Who brought her up .... She is no more with you.... Not naturally... But someone snatched her from you..... You will enraged and broken right? Same with Karishma... She was so much enraged and determined to get the revenge.... She herself got into the problem.... While Haseena started developing a soft corner for Karishma....

How can someone be so strong even after that much struggle... Without mother and father struggle.... As being a girl.... It was not difficult to her to feel Karishma.... She felt each and every emotion... And sadly.... It happens in every house of India......

Karishma was somewhere calm now but she still was hugging Haseena like a teady... While Haseena being a gentle lady was in same position caressing Karishma's head and back. .... Both were in same position... With high heart beats... Smile on face and an unknown feeling.....

So I am back with so much time.... Hope you liked this part... Again I am warning you all to complete the target or else I will vanish from here....
