She said, and without looking back, she walked to her car and left for the office. KS was utterly perplexed by HM's behavior and decided to ask her about it later. Soon, KareEna became engrossed in their own work, both trying hard to comprehend the unfamiliar emotions that were surfacing between them.

The day passed just like this, with Kareena engrossed in her own work. It's now evening, and Pushpa Ji is following KS, urging her to complete her tasks.

"Haa! Haa Amma kaam toh hone dijiye. Aur abhi wakt hai duty hours khatam hone ko....", KS said.

"Per hum haina yaha sab dekhne keliye... tum jao Karu.... dekho kuch important nahi hai.... MIRA ko keh do woh karlegi tum jao tayar ho...", PS insisted.

"Hey Bhagwan! Na matlab date humari hai aur utsuk (excited) aap hai... ja rahe hai ", KS remarked, knowing full well that there was no convincing PS to go.

She stood up and was about to leave the cabin when PS said,"Jara acche kapde pehne ke jana...!"

Raising her eyebrow, KS looked at PS and retorted, "Dekhiye! Hum jaise hai waise jayege... koi dikhawa nahi. Agar pasand karna hai toh aise hi tik hai... nahi toh aise vyakti se hume shadi hi nahi karni"

She took a step towards the door and said, "Aur waise bhi aapke liye ja rahe hai hume koi interest nahi hai abhi shaadi mein" In her thoughts, she added, "Nahi toh hume Haseena Ji se milne wale the... Aaj kuch alag bartav laga unka" With that, she headed towards the gym room.

Office hours had ended, yet HM remained at her desk, working diligently. NM glanced at her and asked as she approached, "Isse badiya toh... Sahil ke saath Coffee pe jati ye kya extra kaam karti baithi ho?"

HM, who wasn't in the mood for arguments or conversations, replied, "Dekho Nain abhi na humra mood bilkul bhi theek nahi hai.... aur agar tumhe sahi salamat Ghar jana hai toh please.... hume pareshan mat karo!"

"Aree per Haseen... main toh bas...", NM began to explain.

"Dekho kal na newspaper pe tumhare Murder ki khabar aayegi toh... please!", HM interjected, standing up and quickly gathering her things to leave.

NM, observing HM's irritated and tired expression, softly inquired, "Kya hua? Koi pareshani hai? Hum dost hai! tum mujhe bata sakti ho Haseen! Kya hua hai tumhe? Kiu subha se chid rahi ho?"

"Jab hume khud pata chalega na ki kya ho raha hai hume, hum khud tumhe aake batayege... per abhi nahi, so please...",HM responded before packing her things and leaving the office.

KS arrived outside the cafe, named 'GOOD TIMES'. She parked her Bluero and entered.

As she glanced at the sign, KS thought, "Good times! Aaha... humra toh chal hi nahi raha filhaal... nahi toh aaj yaha iss ladke se Milne nahi aate... hush... chalo mil lete hai!"

She was dressed in a t-shirt, a blue denim jacket, and matching jeans. Pushpa Ji had instructed KS to look for the fourth table from the entrance, where she would find the person she was meeting. Following PS's guidance, KS entered the cafe and began searching for the individual.

She spotted a person sitting at a table with his back turned towards her. As she approached, she was taken aback. "Tum??", she exclaimed.

The person turned to look at KS, equally surprised. "Hain?? Tum yaha?? Toh jais ladki se milna hai woh tum ho...?" The latter said.
