Continuation.....

"Ab ghar chalen." haseena said after applying color.

Karishma nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, yes, ab chalo," she agreed, heading off ahead of Haseena.

"Yeh itni asani se maan kasy gayi ?" She wondered at Karishma's quick agreement.

"Chalo, acha hi hai. Ghar ja kar Ami bhi nahi hai toh poora saara information le lenge," she thought, considering the opportunity.

Haseena quickly picked up her pace to catch up with Karishma, ready to follow her closely.

Once they reached home, Haseena opened the door and guided Karishma inside by holding her from her arm.

"Aap ko pata hai hum ghar kyun aaye hain?" Karishma stopped and asked.

"Kyun......?" Haseena looked at her curiously.

"Pheli bat tw yeh kay humen koi asy dakh na lay humri image ka kia ho ga aur dusri bat yeh ky koi humen rang na lga ky hum kasy itna bachty whan sab say."

"Bilkul hi buddu han ap," haseena chuckled at her statement to which karishma mummered, " hum buddu nae han. "

"Ami, Ami dekhiye, Madam Sir...," Karishma loudly called out.

"Sssshhhhh! Ami yahaan nahi hain, woh kahin gayi hain." haseena quickly stopped her.

"Ohh, koi baat nahi, jab wo ayen gi tou hum bata denge aap ke baare mein." Karishma's voice turned sad as she said.

"Haan, ab chaliye, humen aapse kuch zaroori baat karni hain." haseena offered.

"Haan haan, humein bhi bahut baatein karni hain ap say." Karishma replied eagerly.

Haseena held Karishma's hand and guided her toward her room. after entering her room she made Karishma sit on the bed and then sat beside her and said, "Karishma Singh, woh..."

"Phir se khayiye na." Before Haseena could continue, Karishma cut her off and said.

"Kya?" Haseena looked at her, puzzled.

"Karishma Singh." Karishma repeated.

Haseena said her name again, "Karishma Singh." She tried to speak again, but Karishma interrupted her. "Haan, phir se khayay na."

Haseena repeated, "Karishma Singh," and Karishma leaned back on the bed, facing the ceiling. She smiled and said, "Kehti rahiye, bahut accha lag raha hai humein." she closed her eyes.

Haseena was taken aback by the request but she softly saying, "Karishma singh." As she spoke Karishma's name, she noticed a wave of peace and calmness wash over Karishma's face.

Seeing Karishma's response, Haseena repeated her name, "Karishma Singh," and Karishma's smile deepened. Haseena realized she had been noticing Karishma's smiles more often these days, and each one felt like a small victory.

Haseena found herself thinking about the power of a name, how just taking Karishma's name could bring such peace to. It was as though the world paused for a moment, allowing Karishma to breathe in the solace her own name provided by in someone else voice.

Haseena noticed Karishma closing her eyes, as if falling asleep. She tapped Karishma gently and asked, "Aap so rahi hain?"

"Hum thak gaye hain." Karishma responded.

Haseena quickly held her and pulled her to sit up straight, tapping her cheeks gently. "Nahi, aap so nahi sakti hain. ankhen kholiye Karishma singh," she said firmly.
