"Aap humari girlfriend banengi?"
Karishma choked on her food as soon as these words escaped from Haseena. Haseena gave her a glass of water, she gulped it and gave her a look.
Haseena sighed as she decided to tell her the whole story, and hope to get some help from her but Karishma's expression remain the same.
"Tumhara dimag jagah par hai? Hum aisa vaisa kuch nahi karne wale."
Saying this Karishma went to other table with her plate.

Haseena's trance got broken by Santu.
"Maddam Sir, lunch ka time ho gaya hai, aap hum sabke sath hi khana khayengi na."
"Ji chaliye, hum aate hain."
Santu went and Haseena collected her tiffin, in hope that maybe she got a chance to talk to Karishma but her hope broke when she heard the conversation between Karishma and Pushpa ji.
"Aapka dimag kharab hai kya? Maddam sir aaj hi aayi hain, unhe bura lagega."
"Unhe bura kyun lagega Pushpa ji, hum ek case ke silsile mein hi ja rahe hain aur lunch to kal bhi kar sakte hain na sath mein."
"Thik hai, jaiye, vaise bhi aaj tak aapne humari konsi baat mani hai jo aap aaj manengi."
"Are Pushpa ji naraz kahe ho rahi hain aap, sham ko aapke favourite golgappe khila denge, thik hai, ab chalte hain." Karishma tapped on her cheeks and went from there.
She sat on her bike and start it, drawing back to memories......

Karishma saw her friend laughing as it was weekend and cadets can go out of the academy.
"Shivani, tu hasna band karegi?"
"Vaise ladki buri nahi hai," Shivani said while looking at the phone," Haseena Malik.... commissioner ki beti hai yaar."
"Itni jaldi yeh sab kaise pata lagaya?"
"Hone wali bhabhi hai woh meri, uske bare mein pata nahi lagaungi to kiske bare mein lagaungi?"
"Koi bhabhi vabhi nahi hai tumhari....nakli girlfriend banne ke liye pucha hai, personality dekho humari, kis angle se nakli girlfriend lagte hain hum?"
"Acting karne mein kya jayega tera aur uski help bhi ho jayegi."
"Tum humari side ho ya uski?"
"Teri hi side hun, kya pata acting karte karte asli mein chance ban jaye." Shivani said playfully.
"Mushkil se ek percent chance banta hoga, aur uske liye main kisi aur ke sath panga le kar, academy mein apni roommate ke sath chhaiya chhaiya karu? No thanks.
"Thik hai yaar, itna kyun gussa ho rahi hai," Shivani said in senti tone," Main to tere bhale ke liye bol rahi thi...ik teri khair mangdi..main manga na kuch aur."
"Apni khair apne paas rakho, hum chalte hain, late pahunche to bahut dant padegi," Karishma looked at her watch," Tum bill bhar dena please."
"Sharam karle, bachpan se main hi bhar rahi hun tere bill." Shivani shouted but till now Karishma exited the place.

"To kya socha?" Haseena asked as soon as Karishma entered the academy.
"Betal banke kandhe par hi beth jao," Karishma's heart skipped a beat on her sudden appearance," Dara diya."
"Sorry, hum to bas puch rahe the, aap karengi na humari madad?" Haseena asked with puppy eyes.
