Karishma's eyes blazed with anger as she took in the sight of her sister's blood. The rage within her was rising upwards, a storm ready to unleash. She turned her attention to the remaining men in the room, her expression scanning them top to toe.

One of the goons lunged at her, but Karishma was faster. She sidestepped his attack and delivered a powerful kick to his midsection, sending him crashing into a nearby table, breaking it. 

Another man tried to grab her from behind, but she twisted out of his grasp, her elbow connecting with his jaw in a bone-crunching blow. As a result of which, he collapsed upon the hard floor, unconscious.

Karishma moved swiftly, her anger flushing through her each blow. She disarmed another goon, using his own weapon against him with a swift, precise strike. The man crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Another goon charged at Nitasha with a metal pipe, but Nitasha ducked under his swing and delivered a series of rapid punches to his ribs and face. He staggered back, dazed, before collapsing in a heap. 

Haseena, now free from her bonds, joined the fray. She grabbed a chair and swung it at an approaching thug, the wood splintering on impact. The thug stumbled back, clutching his head in pain.

Nitasha quickly picked up a broken table leg and brandished it like a club. " Stay back! " she warned, her eyes fierce. The goons hesitated, but Nitasha didn't. She swung the makeshift weapon with all her might, striking his knee and bringing him down.

Karishma grabbed the mastermind, Raghav, by the collar, lifting him off his feet and slamming him against the wall. " Yeh meri jiji k liye.... " she hissed, her voice low and dangerous. With a final, devastating punch, she knocked him out cold. " Bas tumhare liye mujhe itna din unse dur rehna pada, unke dukh dekhke bhi chup rehna pada...! Tum toh itna aasani se bachoge nahi....! "

" Nishu di... Please pass me the salt. " Karishma hissed as she picked the knife from the floor.

Haseena's world seemed to slow down as she took in the sight before her. The chaos of the fight faded into the background, and all she could see was her sister, Karishma, standing there, fierce and alive. It was as if time had stopped, and she was caught in a moment of disbelief and overwhelming emotion. It appeared like a dream that she had never wanted to end.

" Stop it Karishma...! " Haseena shouted, seeing her sister making a cut on Raghav's body and taking the salt to sprinkle on it.

Karishma froze, the salt slipping from her fingers and scattering across the floor. She turned to face Haseena.

" Kya tum sach mein meri behen ho... ? " Haseena asked, in disbelief.

" H..haa " Karishma bowed her head down.

" Par meri behen itni bereham nhi thi... " Haseena replied, her eyes reflecting sadness and anger.

" Jiji... aap nhi samjh rhi ho " Karishma said, in defiance. " He deserves this. After everything he's done... "

" Deserves this? " Haseena interrupted, stepping closer. " No one deserves this kind of cruelty, Karishma. We don't get to play judge, jury, and executioner. This isn't justice, it's revenge. And it's tearing you apart. "

Karishma did not reply and kept quiet. 

" And this is how you want to respond? By becoming just as monstrous as him? " Haseena retorted.

Tears welled up in Karishma's eyes as she dropped the knife, collapsing into Haseena's arms. Haseena wrapped her arms securely holding her sister, as she said to Nitasha... " Force leke toh aayi hogi. " Nitasha nodded, understanding the hint in Haseena's words. She signalled her team which was a little distance away, to arrest the goons and Raghav and take him to the headquarters. She went aside after giving them instructions, to give the sisters a space for themselves.

On the other hand, here as Haseena held Karishma, she closed her eyes, feeling the solace of the moment. Her heart ached with the pain of seeing her sister so lost, but there was also a glimmer of hope. Karishma, her sister, was back.

Haseena's mind raced back to the past months, a time filled with helplessness and hopelessness. She had believed her sister to be dead, lost forever to the cruel hands of fate. The nights spent crying, the days spent searching for answers, all seemed to converge into this single moment. Holding her baccha now, alive and in her arms, felt surreal. It was as if a part of her own soul had been restored.

Haseena's grip tightened around Karishma, not wanting to let go, afraid that if she did, her sister might disappear again.
