Snippets of Madam Sirr (S1)

Chapter 29

***Recreation of the Karvachauth episode***

As the MPT team wrapped up the successful delivery of Bulbul Pandey's baby daughter, Haseena silently instructed the team to immediately leave for MPT. She casually strode towards KS, walking around nervously, cracking her knuckles. She gently tapped her shoulder, her eyes filled with concern and love.

"KS, what's wrong?"

KS shook her head, exhaling a sigh.

"Madam Sir.... it's just that my husband, Pushpa Ji ke Lalla.... he's waiting for me at home to break the Karvachauth fast..."

Haseena crossed her arms across her chest, a warm smile spreading over her face.

"Accha?" she asked, arching her eyebrows. "So, it's only Pushpa Ji's Lalla that's waiting?" KS glanced at her, a faint smile tugging at her lips as her face reddened into a pulped tomato.

"KS, I need a favor from you...but you'll have to do whatever I ask without questions..."

KS glanced at her, arching her eyebrows questions as if deciding whether to agree or to protest. Finally, she gave in with a sigh.

"Accha.... I will do as you say madam sir.... but what should I do?" Haseena grinned, her face lighting up.

"First...." She said pulling up a small parcel. "You have to wear this..." KS opened her mouth to interrupt yet Haseena silenced her with her hand.

"No questions KS..." She pouted, her face resigning to accept the conditions.

She pocketed her phone as she held the parcel and strolled away to change, her mind still occupied with Lalla.

As she walked, her eyes locked on to the moonlight, her face illuminated in its pearly glow. She smiled, chuckling at its warmth and beauty. KS had been looking forward to celebrate Karvachauth with her husband yet as usual her duty had gotten in the way. Her heart ached as she recalled Lalla staying at home all alone, waiting for her to be dressed in his favorite red saree. She blushed, Lalla's gaze echoing in her mind. She stared at the moon, silently vowing to herself to rush home after completing madam sir's favor.

Meanwhile, Haseena on a one-sided conversation with her team gave them strict and hushed instructions to keep everything ready. She turned in the nick of time, as her eyes rested on a heavenly sight. KS was walking draped in a rich red saree, her hands clanging with the sound of bangles.

It was a complete transformation, one that made Haseena stare at her with jaw-dropping eyes. KS strode towards her, grinning as she tapped Haseena to the reality. She shook her head, taking in KS's beauty, one that simplified grace and elegance.

"Aarey wah! KS, you look extremely beautiful.... even I couldn't keep my eyes off you..." she said, her voice teasing her.

She edged forward, leaning in closer to her ear. "Now I understand why Lalla couldn't stay away from you..."

KS blushed deep red as she averted her gaze, grazing down at the graveled road.

"Let's go?" Haseena asked, breaking the silence.

"Madam Sir where are the others?" she asked. "I sent them home since they were already tired..."

"Oh!" KS felt an uneasy sensation, wounding with Haseena's words.

She glanced at her, her eyes catching every movement of hers. Haseena was lying.

KS chuckled inwardly. She must be planning something surely, yet KS couldn't put her finger on what exactly. She decided to play along for now. They sat astride the bike as Haseena had forcefully convinced KS to let her drive. The streets whizzed past, the colors mixing in a blur of light and speed.
