Innocent to Gangster

15. Shocking Haseena !!

Asma forcefully dragged Karishma away from the college premises. Together, they sprinted past the college walls, their hearts pounding like a marathon runner's.

After putting considerable distance between themselves and the college, they sought refuge in an abandoned building. Exhausted and panting, they leaned against the crumbling walls, catching their breath.

Both of them were greatly alarmed and drenched in sweat. The scene kept replaying in Karishma's mind, haunting her. Karishma saw her hands, they were red with blood.

Karishma looked at her hands, which were stained with Sheetal's blood. Anxious and trembling, she gazed at her trembling hands and began to rub them together to remove the blood stains. But her efforts were in vain.

Asma also looked at Karishma with concern, seeing her in a distressed state. Just then, her mobile phone vibrated with a message from her boss, Vandana, saying, call me !!!

Asma got up quietly and moved to a corner. She spoke softly into the phone, Boss yeh apne kia kia sheetal ko sheru k hatho marwa dea?;

Boss: "So what? Karishma ko hamary pass bulane ka yhi hal hai.

Asma: lekin, boss

Boss: tum log in wqt kahan ho?

Asma: Aik jagha ruky hain. Mgr boss karishma bht ghabrai hui hai.

Boss: ho jaye gi wo theek. Ab meri baat dhyaan se suno. Tumhain kia krna hai

Asma: Alright, boss. Ho jaye ga.

The news of Sheetal's death had spread through the college like wildfire because everyone knew that Karishma, Sheetal, and Asma were best friends. So, when the police arrived, the names of Karishma and Asma were the first to be highlighted.

Haseena had returned home and was anxiously waiting for Karishma.

Haseena: karu kidhr reh gai abhi tak ai ku nhi?

She dialed Karishma's number, but there was no response.

Hm: hum kuch zyada hi soch rhy hain. Kal b late ai thi.

Haseena turned on the TV, and that's when the college news appeared before her.

News: Xyz college main hua aik student ka murder !!! Marne wali student ka name Sheetal chaudhary tha. Aur wo masters ki student thi. Police ki taraf se Aisa kaha jata hai k sheetal ki mout main us ki 2 dosto ka haath ho skta hai ku k whi thi jo Sheetal k sub se close thi aur wo ab tak faraar hain. Jis k name hain; Asma Singhaniya and Karishma Singh

Hearing this, Haseena was in utter shock. She remained frozen where she sat, unable to believe her ears. The remote slipped from her hand.

Slowly, Haseena rose from her seat, but her legs felt unsteady beneath her. With trembling hands, she dialed Karishma's number once again, but it was out of coverage.

Just then, Chautala rushed into the house, shouting Karishma's name loudly. She spotted Haseena and, with a worried expression, spoke hastily.

Karishma kidhar hai? 😥😥

For the first time, haseena saw concern in Chautala's eyes.

Hm: api !! Wo news main 😥

Chautala: han han mene suni wo news par hai kahan karishma?? 😥

Hm: whi to api wo ghar ai hi nhi abhi tk...

Chautala held her head with worried and with a thud.
