Meanwhile haseena went out and brought her luggage inside the room and then closed the door and called back on the number.
"Hello, kahiye pj... kya bol rhi thi aap?", asked haseena.
"Ha... ha ms ham puch rhe the ki aapki kj se baat hogai? Kya kaha unhone? Baat kuch aage badhi ki nhi?", pj bombarded her with her questions.
"Ha pj... baat hui hamari unse..."
"Kyaaaa MS, baat HOOGGGAAIII..., kya kaha kya unhone?", excitedly asked pj.
"Nhi pj... jaisa aap samajh rhi h waisi koi baat nhi hui h abhi...", said haseena a bit disappointedly.
"Kya hua ms... aap thori udas lag rhi h?"
"Pj, ham jaisa soch kr aaye the ki sayad kashu bhi hame pasand krti h... wo galat h sayad... wo hame jyada se jyada bas apna dost manti h!", haseena tried to explain her doubt.
"Ms kuch aisa waisa kaha kya karishma ji ne aapse?"
"Nhi pj... kashu ne kuch nhi kaha pr..."
"Pr kya ms?"
"Pr ye pj ki unki... unki aankhein khali thi!"
"Aankhein khali thi mtb?",asked confused pj.
"Khali aankhein mtb ki jab ham unke kareeb gaye to kuch bhi nhi tha unki aankhon mein... na gussa, na nafrat, na udasi aur na hi pyaar!", said haseena.
"Ms hame lagta h aapko thora aur waqt dena chahiye unhe."
"Aur aap abhi abhi to gayi h waha, hamare khyal se aapko khud ko aur unhe thora aur waqt dena chahiye... aap aaram kr lijiye ms thora... aur koi baat ho to bataiyega, hame thora kaam niptana h thane mein, ham phir phone krte h aapko, Jai Hind!"
"Ji, jai hind!" (Call disconnected)

Next morning,
Haseena's sleep was disturbed because of continuous laughing and giggling sound.
"Ya khuda itni subha subha kaun aise has rha h jaise aaj hi duniya khatm ho jaani h!", murmured haseena while rubbing her eyes.
She covered each of her ears with both the hands and then tried back sleeping but the laughs were only getting louder and louder... this time along with buzzing sound.
"CHUUUUUUUUUPPPPPP......hoo jaooo sab!", screamed haseena and sat up straight with closed eyes.
After few seconds she removed hands from her ears and then opened her eyes and then rolled her eyes if the sound has stopped. It was all pin drop silence. She took a deep breath but as soon as she relaxed, the next moment the commotion started again. This time it irritated her the most and she immediately got of the bed and went searching for the source of the sound.

"Are haseena beti tum uth gayi...neend ache se aai na?", asked singh sahab.
"Ji...ji uncle hamari neend to puriii hogaiii h pr...", she stepped down the last stair and tried to recognize the person from back.
"Hasu... tum itni der tak kaise sote reh gayi?, asked ammi.
"Ha... nhi wo ammi, kal raat der tak kaam kr rhe the to is wajah se subha aankh nhi khuli... waise aap sab k..."
"Aao na beta",interrupted singh sahab and said,"dekho to kaun aaya h, tumne hame bataya nhi ki tumdono ne sabhi ko amantrit kiya tha lucknow se?"
"Hamne.... aur kashu...karishma ne kisko bulayaa...", she doubtfully murmured.
"Ms aapne hi to hame bulaya tha! Hehe aise kaise bhool gayi aap?", said pj with a vicious grin while having a hard time turning and stretching her neck towards haseena.
"Pj... aap yaha??", haseena shockingly asked.
"Hamne aur karishma ne kab bulaya aapko?"
"Jab indono ko bulaya tha ms tabhi inhe bhi invite kiya tha!", said karishma coming from the other side.
Everyone simultaneously rolled their eyes toward karishma and soon their eyes widened as they noticed the visitors with them.
"Tumdono yaha kya kr rhe ho?", shouted haseena in sheer confusion.
"Ha... ha jawab do cheeta santu, tumdono eha kaise?", asked karishma
"Acha to yahi h cheeta aur santu aur pj, jinki baatein karu krti nhi thakti h...."
"Aur haseena bitiya bhi na bhabhi, dono to ek hi sur mein kahani sunate h apne thane ki!", said singh sahab and then both ammi and he laughed.
At this, for a moment, both haseena's and karishma's eyes clashed with a same expression of stress and confusion.
"Haseena ne agar hame bata diya hota ki aap sab aaj hi aajayenge to hamne kamre taiyaar krwa diye hote pr koi baat nhi, aap sab thori der baithiye ham abhi sab intezaam krwa dete h", said singh sahab and then he left from there.
"Ammi... wo... lagta h ki aapko bhi jaana chahiye", said karishma
"Are par ham kaha jaye?", doubtfully asked ammi
"Wo jaiye na, hamne aapko kaha tha na ki chalna aapki sehat ke liye bahut acha h, to jaise chal ke aaiye!!", blabbered karishma
"Ye kaisi baatein kr rhi ho karu, kya is umar mein tum apni ammi ko aise ghar se nikalogi", said ammi in a full mellow dramatic tone.
To which karishma and haseena looked at each other in a hopeless way.
Karishma(in mind)- pj to abhi bas aai h yaha
Haseena(in mind)- aur abhi se ye haal h, khuda hi malik h aage kya hoga ammi ka!
And then they turned away their faces.
Haseena explained, "ammi, karishma ke kehne ka mtb h ki kuch official baatein krni h hame hamari team se isiliye aap thora..."
"Acha, to aise bolo na, hame to dara hi diya is kambakht ne", said ammi in jolly tone and left saying, "aap sab baatein kriye ham khane ka dekhte h!"

Karishma locked the door from inside and came and stood by haseena while folding her hands on her chest and looked at the trio with a sharp gaze who were made sit on bed in a line.
"Ms..."
"Uhhm...shhh",
"Thane mein kaun h?"
"Hamne dsp sir ko kaha ki yaha pe mtb kanpur mein aapka aur km ka family fuction h aur aapne invite kiya h to hame... ham teeno ko permission chahiye thi chuthi ki... to dsp sir ne mission ke basis pe de di... aur waha dusre logo ko kaam pe laga diya thore din ke liye", explained pj.
"Aapne dsp sir ko bata diya ham aur haseena... mtb ms pahle se jante h ek dusre ko?", asked karishma in loud tone
"Ek min karishma"
"Aur aap teeno yaha aagaye? Pr kyu?"
"Ms-... wo aapki...", pj looked at karishma and then rolled her eyes toward haseena and said.... "bas aapdono ke bina thana suna lag rha tha isiliye aagaye."
"Wah bahut badhiya pj!", sarcastically exclaimed karishma and then left the room immediately shutting the door with a loud bang behind her.
"Ab bataiye pj... kyu aaye h aapsab yaha?"
"Ms wo phone pe jab aapse baat hui... tabse hame aapki chinta badh gayi thi... hame laga ki sayad ye aakhiri mauka hoga aapdono ke liye aur agar aap ya kj kisi tarah chuk gaye to sayad jeewan dubara mauka na de... isiliye bas khud ko durr nhi rkh paye ham!", explained pj with her voice cracking up and tears appearing in her eyes.
Haseena stood up from chair and sat beside pj and rubbed her shoulder with a sweet smile and then looked at cheetosh and asked, "aur ye dono?!"
"Ms wo pushpee ne mujhe gaadi arrange krne ko kaha tha yaha ke liye... phir... maine aur cheete ne jabardasthi pucha inhe to inhone bataya aur hame lekr aai!", narrated santu.
"Acha-...!" "Ek min... aaplogo ne dsp sir se baat ki h na?", asked haseena after realizing something.
And as her expectations they nodded negatively.
Haseena just kept looking at them hopelessly.

....
" Ji, jai hind!"
(Call disconnected)
"Dsp sir ne kaha h ki wo arrangements krwa denge pr sirf is baar... aainda aisa kbhi nhi hona chahiye .. yaad rhe!", strictly instructed haseena.
"Ji... Ms!", the trio nodded in unison.
"Theek h ab aap sab aaram kriye ham aate h!", said haseena and then left.

"Aajaye andar", permitted karishma
Haseena slightly pushed the door and entered in shutting it back again.
Haseena, most probably, was in karishma's room for the first time, peacefully!
She felt a different kind of connection with the messed up room and as an outcome she was completely zoned out forgetting karishma's presence in the room.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath until her diaphragm contracted and her lungs enlarged to it's full potential. She wanted to fill herself with that woody aroma of the room combined with soft floral fragrance of karishma's perfume, incase she will ever get an opportunity to be in that room again.
"Hamne aapko kitni baar kaha h haseena ki agar aap hamse chipna chahti h hamare aas paas hote hue to..." Karishma turned back toward haseena as she was in the balcony but then as soon as her eyes captured haseena her mouth immediately got shut down.
She came in the room where haseena was standing.
And continued but this time in a mesmerized tone, "...to pls aap ye itr istemal krna band kr de!"
As soon as karishma's voice struck haseena's eardrums from close she slowly opened her eyes and was already into a deep eye to eye conversation with her.
Haseena(in mind)- please kashu apni aankhein aise hi rkhiyega, kal jaisi sooni aankhein hame dara deti h!
Karishma(in mind)- kaash ham waqt ko rok paate! Ajeeb sa sukoon hota h in palo mein!
Haseena(in mind)- waqt ko rokna to kisi ke haathon mein nhi h pr is waqt ko puri tarah jee to skte h!
Karishma(in mind)-....
Karishma dropped her lashes and turned away her face and asked, "aap yaha haseena?"
Haseena looked away too and replied," ji, wo ham ye batane aaye the ki hamne dsp sir se baat kr li h... aur unhe koi dikkat nhi h!"
"Ji... theek h!"
"Ji... chalte h!"
Haseena turned and slowly took steps toward the door wishing that for once karishma would stop her from leaving.
"Haseena..."
"Ji...??", haseena asked and turned back hiding her excitement.
Karishma turned back too and looked at haseena and then said, "Kuch nhi!"
Haseena's smile faded which didn't go unnoticed by karishma and somewhere it made her heart sank too but she just couldn't, couldn't do anything about it.
After that haseena waited in the spot for few more seconds hoping for something to change but it didn't and then she left from there, once again shattered from inside.
