Haseena and Meera sat in the room, their faces etched with tension, waiting for Karishma to regain consciousness. Karishma's complexion had paled, and her face had taken on a bluish hue. Meera had administered the medication while Karishma slept, and now they anxiously awaited any sign of improvement....

Meera maintained her patience and understanding, silently offering her support and prayers for her best friend's health. In contrast, Haseena's anxiety continued to intensify, with unwanted thoughts and a growing sense of guilt enveloping her mind. The weight of the situation was taking its toll on her emotions....

Meera left the room to find a moment of solace and calm, while Haseena sat beside Karishma, grasping her hand. Overwhelmed by guilt, tears welled up in Haseena's eyes as she blamed herself for Karishma's condition. Her inner turmoil was evident as she silently prayed for Karishma's recovery.....

Haseena poured her heart out to the unconscious Karishma in her own language, pleading, " Karishma please wake up yaar.. kab tak aise bistar pe rehne ka irada hai? It's been 6 hours since you are unconscious... Tumhe pata hai hamara yaha kya haal ho raha hai? Mera? Meera ka? Ammi ka? Kisi ka khayal aaya aapko? Bas na ab... Ho gaya... Hum haar gaye bet, aap Jeet gayi. Hum maanenge 24 ghante aapki baat, par please uth jaiye na... Hamari jaan sukhe jaa rahi hai .. ye guilt hume andar se khaye Jaa Raha hai .. mera dil? Humara dil hume Chen ki saans nahi lene de raha hai... Kab tak aise tadpaana hai hume? Kis cheez ka badla le rahi hai aap?" Haseena's emotional plea was filled with love, worry, and desperation.

As her words fell on deaf ears, Haseena's disappointment grew, and she gazed at Karishma with tears streaming down her eyes. She couldn't comprehend the strong emotions she felt for someone she had met just a day ago. The pain and worry were consuming her, and she questioned the profound connection she had with Karishma, struggling to understand why she cared so deeply for her.....

Throughout the night, Haseena remained steadfast by Karishma's side, checking on her every half hour, holding onto the hope that maybe Karishma would regain consciousness, maybe she would wake up. Yet, as the hours passed, there was no sign of change, and Haseena's worry only deepened.....

The tension between Haseena and her mother persisted, and their silence towards each other remained unbroken since the incident. As another day passed with no signs of improvement from Karishma, the strain in their relationship continued to weigh heavily on both of them....

Haseena and Karishma returned home after a day filled with love and cherished memories. Karishma's heartfelt confession and Haseena's surprise had deepened their bond and understanding. However, Karishma still couldn't shake off the feeling that Haseena had sacrificed her enjoyment of the horror movie for her sake. She decided it was time to have a candid conversation with Haseena to reassure her and make her understand that it was okay to enjoy things individually.....

Karishma and Haseena lay on the bed, facing each other. "Haseena?" Karishma said, calling Haseena with affection in her voice....

"Do you really think it's okay to leave your own enjoyment for your partner?" Karishma asked Haseena, seeking to understand her perspective....

Haseena responded, "Yes, it's good. A relationship is built on the sacrifices partners make to make each other feel cherished." She believed in the importance of selflessness and making sacrifices for the happiness of their loved ones....

Karishma probed further, "Even when that sacrifice is not necessary? When there's no need to be selfless in that situation?" She was trying to understand Haseena's perspective on selflessness and sacrifice in their relationship.....

Haseena reflected, "That depends on the partner, I believe. They know what's necessary and what's not. If a partner believes it's needed, then there's nothing wrong in sacrificing, even if it's not needed." She began to understand that Karishma was referring to their recent incident and the horror movie.....

Karishma pressed further, "So, do you think it's necessary for you to sacrifice watching horror movies?" She wanted to delve into Haseena's perspective on this particular matter....

Karishma confronted Haseena directly, maintaining eye contact as she said, "But you stopped watching them because of me, right? Because I'm scared of horror? Tell me honestly, isn't it? You don't watch them because I have phobophobia." She was determined to address this issue and have an honest conversation about it.....

Haseena began to respond, "No, it's not like..." but was interrupted by Karishma, who insisted, "Tell me this while looking into my eyes." Karishma wanted a sincere and direct response from Haseena.....

Haseena gazed into Karishma's deep and glistening eyes, unable to find the words to lie. Silence filled the room as she grappled with the truth, realizing that her actions were indeed influenced by her love for Karishma and her desire to protect her from horror films....

Haseena and Karishma both sat up on the bed, and Karishma broke the silence, stating, "You don't have answers, right? You will never have because I know you are doing it for me." She had discerned the truth and understood Haseena's motivations....

Karishma questioned Haseena, "Even when you don't need to do it, you're sacrificing it. Why, Haseena? Why?" She wondered why Haseena was making this sacrifice when, in her eyes, it wasn't necessary. Karishma respected Haseena's maturity and understanding but was curious about her motivations....

Haseena's emotions burst forth as she responded to Karishma, "I need to do it, Karishma. You are my partner. It's my duty to take care of you. I've seen you on your deathbed. I know how you struggled to breathe. I know how I waited for three agonizing days for you to regain consciousness. I know how much I suffered during those days, and I don't want to go through that again. I can't risk it, especially when I know about your phobia."

Her voice carried a mix of desperation and fear, tears streaming down her face at the mere thought of losing Karishma. Her love and concern for her partner were evident in every word she spoke.....

Karishma pressed on, saying, "But that doesn't mean you have to stop watching them because of my phobia." She was attempting to make Haseena understand that they could both enjoy their individual interests without sacrificing them for each other....

Haseena, feeling overwhelmed, stated firmly, "Enough, Karishma. I don't want to hear anything more about this now. If you want to continue, go ahead, but I'll sleep on the couch in the hall." She made it clear that she didn't want to discuss the matter any further. While it hurt Karishma a bit, she decided to respect Haseena's wishes and let the issue rest for the time being....

Karishma responded with understanding and affection, saying, "It's okay, I won't say anything. Just don't leave me alone here." She pulled Haseena into a warm hug, planting a loving kiss on the top of her head and gently wiping away her tears with her thumbs. Their embrace conveyed a sense of unity and reassurance in their relationship.
