Santosh opened the door wide but ignored the two human beings before her and went back talking to Ammi and Pushpa Ji loudly. KarEena looked at each other confused as they walked into the house, only to find a lot of commotion. Ammi, Pushpa Ji and Santosh moved around from the Kitchen to the living room and Santosh's room.

"What's happening guys?" Karishma frowned looking around

"Game night!" they all answered in unison, KarEena chuckled at their excitement

"Now, you guys go and get fresh, we are about to start" Santosh pushed them towards Karishma's room, shaking their heads at their excitement they left to get fresh

"Okay, now let's team up. Billu Ji jaldi kijiyena" Santosh yelled at Billu who was having a second helping of the ice cream.

"Arey Santosh Ji, mein yehihu, app continue karo," Billu said sitting with his overflowing ice cream.

"Tch... Pushpee chalo team select karenge" Santosh turned towards

"Oy! Amma kaho!" Pushpa Ji chided, turning to Ammi she said, "Chalo Noor, aur ye Santu aur Karu ko alag rako, ye dono ittine cheat codes rakahe ki bohot asani se win hojayengi"

"Thike, ek kam kartehe, indhone hi select karenge abh" Noor-Jhan Ji suggestedKarishma and Santosh sat on opposite couches glaring at each other,

"Haseena" Karishma was first to pick

"Pushpee" Santosh yelled only to get a smack on her head from Pushpa Ji, Santosh mouthed a sorry, as others chuckled at them.

"Ammi" Karishma picked again.

"Yes! Billu Ji" Santosh aired her fist, "Billu Ji ko sab movies pata hei" Santosh smiled wiggling her eyebrows.

"Aur Haseena ko Ammi pata hei" Karishma smiled back

They started the game and as they progressed Karishma and Santosh proved to be more competitive than they would naturally be.

Now Santosh is acting and Pushpa Ji is trying very hard as Billu goes to take a call, Karishma saying everything under the sun to distract Pushpa Ji, and Ammi yells as the time up.

"Yes!" Karishma aired her first

"Tch... kya hei Pushpee" Santosh pouted, "app 'hum apke hei kon' guess nehi kar paye, mein Madhuri Dixit Ji ki acting bi kiya"

"Sorry na Santu" Pushpa Ji tried to pacify Santosh, "ab tho hum tie hei na"

"Chalo, ab humare turn hei aur ye last round hei, I am already very tired" Haseena said standing up to pick up the chit.

Haseena read the chit and looked at Karishma, then she looked at Ammi and sighed. She started enacting, Ammi guessed the first word, "Hum", Karishma guessed the second word, "Dil"

"Just 45 seconds more" Santosh yelled.

Haseena turned towards Karishma trying to offer her heart, Karishma's eyes shone as a movie flickered in her mind.

"Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" Karishma yelled

"Yes" Haseena hi-fi ed

"We won" Noor hi-fir KarEena

"Haa, ab dil de hi chuke tho hum kya hi karsakte hei sanam" Santosh winked at KarEena who glared at her, where Pushpa Ji and Ammi passed knowing glances.


Haseena lay on Karishma's bed, "Sukoon" Haseena whispered closing her eyes, Karishma smiled seeing her and sat beside her picking up her night read.
