It has been three hours since Haseena is enclosed in her cabin; her doors locked from inside, curtains drawn to restrict inner view from door glass, and windows closed too. Santosh and Pushpa ji are getting worried.

"Santu, I am not getting good vibes. Something is seriously off with Madam sir."

"Pushpee, three hours has passed. We should do something."

They shared worried glances and walked towards the door. Pushpa ji looked at Santosh who gives her an assuring nod. Pushpa ji takes a deep breath, and knocks at the door, "Madam sir?"

After not getting any response, she has attempted twice more. However, she gets nothing except silence.

"Santu, call Karishma, hurry up. Something is not right." Santosh is dialing Karishma's number before Pushpa ji had completed saying it. "Madam sir? Madam sir? Madam sir please open the door. Madam sir?" Pushpa ji is knocking vigorously and calling loudly.

Karishma has completed thirty minutes drive in ten minutes and reached the station. Sweat beads are visible on her forehead as she puts the helmet on her bike. Lines of creases are visible on it and her heart is doing marathon as she is running towards Haseena's cabin.

"Santu?"

"Karishma madam, madam sir. She is not responding. Please do something." Santosh's voice cracks. Their heart palpitates as Karishma gestures them to get aside. Taking two steps back, she has kicked the door at the place of it's lock and breaking it.

Karishma is the first one whose sight catches Haseena. Earth slips beneath her feet; she has to hold the table near by to keep herself from falling. Pushpa ji gets a blow and she stumbles, fortunately Santosh holds her. Next moment tears flows out of all three pair of eyes, "Madam sir!"

Haseena's head has been placed on the table in front of her as she has been seated on the chair. Her face is completely pale. Dozens of crumpled tissues are in her mouth. Her arms are hanging down. There is a pool of blood beneath her right hand. Haseena's state is heart wrenching.

"Madam sir! Madam sir! Madam sir!" Karishma is chanting her name repeatedly in cracked and feeble voice. It helps her to recover from the initial black out and she takes slow steps towards her. She must check her pulse but she does not know how to do that.

"Nothing can happen to you. Madam sir. Madam sir. Madam sir." Continuing her chants, she extends her hand towards Haseena's neck. Not just Karishma's hand but her whole body is shivering. Her own heart beat is paused waiting for the confirmation. Her breath is stuck in her throat. Santosh and Pushpa ji's state is not any less. Clenching on to each other, forgetting to breath, they are just wishing one thing.

"Pulse... It is there... I... I can feel her pulse. I can feel my madam sir's pulse." Karishma is squealing, finally letting out her breath. A sense of relief spread across Pushpa ji and Santosh's face as they had not lost their madam sir again.

"I can feel my madam sir's heart beat." Karishma is repeating it and taking out the tissues from her mouth. After every few seconds, she is wiping her tears that are hindering her view. It seems that she is getting much needed strength due to the chanting.

"Karishma madam." Santosh realizes Karishma's broken state. She turns Pushpa ji towards herself, held her shoulders adds firmly by directly looking in her eyes, "Pushpa ji. Pushpa ji hold yourself. Listen to me carefully. Madam sir needs medical aid immediately. Karishma madam's state is not good. She won't be able to handle everything alone. I am going with them. I have to handle both of them. You need to stay here in the station. Call cheetah back to the station. Then go to Madam sir's house. Take her Ammi and all her medical records and reach the hospital as soon as you can. Okay?"
