Aa Bi Jaa - Kareena

50

Haseena and Malaika stood in the living room, waiting in silence. A moment later, Ami stepped out of her room, now fully ready, adjusting the end of her dupatta as she walked toward them.

Haseena turned to her. "Ami, ek request hai... aap please unke saath Anubhav ki ya un ki job ki koi baat mat kijiyega."

Ami gave her a knowing look before replying calmly, "Fikar mat karo, bas tumhari baat karn gay hum."

Malaika let out a small chuckle from the side, making Haseena changed her statement. "Nahi, humara matlab hai ke....."

Before she could finish, Ami cut her off. "Mujhe mat sikhao haseena mujhe pata hai kya baat karni hai." She glanced toward the door. "Cab aa gayi?"

"Ji, aa gayi."

"Theek hai, jaaty han ab hum."

Haseena quickly stepped aside, watching as Ami walked past her and out of the house. As soon as the door closed behind her, she turned toward Malaika, only to find her watching her.

Before Malaika could ask anything, Haseena spoke first, "Humein bhi kuch kaam hai."

"Jayay jayay....samajh gayi ma."Malaika said eagerly.

Haseena entered her room, her mind buzzing with all the things that still needed to be done. She let out a small breath and picked up her phone. "Pehle Pushpa ji ko inform kar dete hain," she muttered to herself, quickly typing out a message:

"Karishma Singh humare ghar par hain. Aap mat jaiyega."

She sent it and then looked around her room, her eyes fell on the drawer. Slowly, she pulled it open and took out a diary. Settling down on the bed, she flipped through the pages until she found the line she had been waiting to check off.

A small smile appeared on her lips as she ticked it off.

"Ami ko manana done."

Her fingers brushed over the next few lines. "Bas Karishma ki full recovery... phir unki job... phir happily ever after."

Closing the diary, she stood up and walked over to the cupboard. She placed it carefully over it. "Sorry, ab tumhari jagah yahi hai. Tum yahin save ho."

Then, she moved toward her wardrobe, pulling it open. she took out a set of her clothes and placed them neatly on one side. After a pause, she emptied the other side completely, making space. She stepped back, taking a moment to observe. "Yeh bhi done."

Her eyes then shifted to her bed. Without wasting another second, she changed the bedsheet, smoothing out the fabric with a soft touch. "Yeh bhi done."

But then, she paused. Her eyes flickered with something more urgent. She took a step back and inhaled.

"Sabse important kaam."

Without another thought, she turned and hurried downstairs.

"Malaika didi!" she called out. "Humari help kijiye!"

Malaika, who had been over her phone, looked up but followed her outside without question. Haseena led her toward the parking area, heading straight for one particular corner.

She reached out and carefully removed the cloth covering the object beneath it. As the fabric slipped away, a familiar bike came into view, the same bike Karishma had been riding the night of the accident.
Karishma didn't go back to find her bike she was not in state to do so but.....

But haseena had rescued the bike too, taken it for repairs without Karishma knowing. And now, it stood here waiting for it's owner don't know when she will ride again.
