When Haseena finally woke up from an eternity of slumber, she didn't find Karishma next to her. She reached out instinctively, her fingers searching the bed beside her for Karishma, but all she found was the cool emptiness of the sheets. Confused, she sat up slowly, the sheets draped up to her chest. Her eyes scanned the room. The memories of the night before flooded back, filling her with a warmth that made her heart swell. Her lips curled into a broad smile, as her cheeks colored up red. She glanced toward the door, half-expecting to see Karishma walk back in but to no avail. She picked up her phone only to find Karishma's text saying some important work had come up. She pressed the phone to her chest with a smile, thinking about her.

<Want to meet you today.> Misha got this text from Karishma as she was heading towards her office.

<Will meet you in the evening.> She got this text from Haseena a few minutes later.

She was staring at both texts in confusion.

'Oh, my God!" She gasped. "Kahin aisa toh nhi ki in dono ne breakup kar liya hai and now both of'em are hitting on me!" She uttered. "Ab ek hi din mein dono se kaise milenge." She wondered. "I get free at 5, toh I'll meet Haseena 5-6, uske baad dekhti hoon."

Karishma was slowly tiptoeing towards their room when Haseena's sister-in-law caught her. "Karishma!" She held her arms authoritatively. She froze, turning slowly to face Haseena's sister-in-law, who was standing with her arms crossed, a curious and somewhat stern look on her face.

"Ji, Bhabhi?" Karishma managed to say, trying to sound casual despite the rapid thudding of her heart.

"Kahan thi saari raat, huh? Aur Haseena? Woh kahan hai? Tum dono saath mein hi thy kya??" She starts to bombard her with a series of questions.

Karishma struggled to come up with a coherent response. Her mind raced through a dozen possible excuses, none of them sounding remotely believable.

"Woh.. hum.. woh.. night duty.." she stammered, but before she could finish, she saw Haseena's sister-in-law's gaze drop to her neck.

There, peeking out from under her shirt collar, was the unmistakable mark of a love bite. "Yeh kya hua?" She sounded serious, yet intentionally teasing.

"Woh... hum gir gaye thy." Karishma mentally smacked herself for this foolish response but it was out anyway.

"On Haseena's lips?" She asked, catching her off guard. Karishma felt her cheeks heat up, a blush creeping over her face. She closed her eyes shut, in an attempt to hide herself. She quickly pulled her collar higher, trying to cover the evidence, but it was too late. The damage was done.

"So, you two are back together?"

Karishma nodded, scratching her eyebrow. "Hmmm."

"Back with a BANG?" Karishma's blush deepened, and she bit her lip, trying to suppress a grin. "Bhabhi." She opened the door and entered the room, followed by Shaba.

"Come on, don't be shy, Karishma." Haseena's sister-in-law wasn't letting her off the hook that easily. "How was it?"

"Bhabhi please!" She turned her back to her, trying to avoid the embarrassing questions.

"Arrey! Tum kya chaahti ho hum kuch puchhein hi naa? Now that I've seen L-O-V-E-B-I-T-E on your neck, I've got to ask ya." She stressed the word love bite, waggling her eyebrows mischievously.

"We talked and sorted things out. Bas." She said, trying to be stern.

""Come on, just a little detail?" Haseena's sister-in-law quipped, giving her a light nudge. "Was it... passionate?"
