Somewhere in Between

Creating and Recreating Moments

Except when HM had tasted them, she realized that her favorite food wasn't all that tasty anymore without KS feeding her the morsels.

Chup chap khana kha na, Senti! Tujhe toh chaat mein bhi jajbaat chahiye! Urmila whined internally.

At times like this, even Urmi got annoyed sharing a body with a lovesick fool like HM.

Tum bhi kuch kam nahi ho. Lagori khelke KS ko tang karne ka idea kiska tha? HM fought back.

Arguing with herself was becoming a habit for her. But she had to admit, it was nice to be able to talk to someone about her concerns, and with how different she had managed to create the personality of Urmila Mahadev Mhatre, it almost felt like she was a person of her own. And yes, she knew how crazy it was to do this, but as long as the mission went on, what other choice did she have? Besides, always arguing with her alter ego only helped her convince everyone that Urmila and HM had nothing in common.

Woh toh Chatak Chadani gusse mein bari cute lagti hai na. Urmi responds, gushing over the earlier fight she had with KS.

(Correction. Turns out, her two personalities did have something in common.)

Bol rahe hain, KS se flirt karna band kardo. HM scolds her in annoyance.

(KS. It was KS. They had KS in common.)

Mein?! Tu jo bhoot ki tarha Haseen Dilruba ki awaaj mein entry maarti hai mere andar apni Kashi ko chedne ke liye, uska kya?!   Urmila accuses her back, in defense.

Woh woh... unhe humari awaaz pasand hai, tumhari nahi. HM stumbles, stumped by her own question, and gives her a lame excuse.

Kya re, Senti. Khud se jealous? Urmi smirks to herself. Amused by the speechless SHO.

Meri awaaj bhi teri hi nautanki hai re, budhu. She reminds HM helpfully.

Chup chaap khana khao! HM grumbles defensively, refusing to give a comment on that.

Urmi just laughs maniacally in response and HM huffs from within.

When the case of the stolen chaat stall showed up, HM felt her excitement rising. Suddenly, she had to resist the strong urge to forget the whole mission and just take KS and her MPT family to Khao Gali and have fun like old times.

It was ridiculous that Urmila had to be the mature one this time and stop the excited HM.

Thaam, thaam, Senti! Lagta hai tu marwaye gi aaj. Tu side hut, yeh mereko handle karne de.

Luckily, since it was a street vendor issue, Urmi's character was in her comfort zone, and so it was easier for her to keep HM under control. She could easily keep up her act while investigating.

They even reached an agreement where Urmi could have fun bothering KS and HM could have some peace by finally being able to help KS with something. Especially, when in between, Urmi and HM joined forces and took every chance to get close to KS.

Of course, HM absolutely denies that she purposely did some ridiculous things that day to be near KS as much as possible.

She denies following her everywhere she went just to get her attention.

She denies waiting for KS to turn and notice her before she took the bribe so that KS would grab her hand to stop her.

She denies speaking loudly on purpose so that she'd get a chance to come near KS and speak in her ear. Get in KS's personal space for a few seconds of sukoon.
