The Host looked like he will cry in any moment now. The shooting area was thick with tension as the people who were there heard the story and well everyone's reaction was same.

They were heartbroken, for Karishma who went through something so harsh and for Haseena who endured silent pain.

'I can't believe you guys went through all that' the boy said.

Karishma sighed.

Thirty five years have passed since that night. She grew up, her present self was confident who knew when to fight back but there was a time when she was scared.

In those time Haseena always showed up, she always held her closely when things became too much to take in.

'I can't believe it too, kuch pal eise bhi aaye jab cheeze bohot mushkil ho gayi padh tab bhi Haseena humare sath thi humare pass thi, padh uss din ke baad jo subah huyi wo alag thi' Ks said.

'kyu?' the boy asked.

'kyuki pehli baar humne Haseena ko itne gusse mein dekha tha' Karishma trailed off.

The morning came.

Karishma was sleeping in Haseena's bed, she stirred a little in her sleep and then groggily opened her eyes.

She looked around and Hm was not there that's when everything came back rushing into her memory.

The way Vikrant forced her, the way she wasn't able to stop him and then how she came here, how Haseena took care of her, she remembered everything.

Karishma sighed and got down from the bed, her body was still aching slightly but right now she needed to see Haseena.

When ks got downstairs, Hm was making breakfast for them.

Her hair was loosely tied, despite of the fact that Haseena's face was looking a little gloomy still Karishma found her mesmerizing.

'Good morning' she greeted her.

Hm turned around. Her mind was in a turmoil, last night her intention was to comfort Karishma as much as she can, but when Ks slept and she cried half of the night her initial pain turned into anger.

Haseena was angry at Vikrant.

Karishma noticed the distant gaze of Hm, like she was lost in somewhere.

'kya baat hai Haseena?' she asked.

Hm sighed, she went closer to KS and held her hands.

'Karishma, hume vikrant ke against police complain karni chahiye' Haseena said.

Panic occurred in KS's chest instantly, Hm was thinking about Police complain?

'Kya matlab police compain karni chahiye? kis baat ke liye Haseena?' Karishma said getting panicked.

Haseena tried to touch her but Ks took a step away, she can't do that, Vikrant was her husband and the police will do nothing in this regard, it was common for husband and wife to have sex, police will not even look at the case.

'kis baat ke liye matlab? karishma, vikrant ne aapko force kiya hai kal raat, aapke sath zabardasti ki hai aur aap puch rahi hai ki kis baat ki police complain? humara bass chale to hum unhe jaan se maar denge Karishma.' Hm said.

Her voice raised a little as she clenched her fist to control the emerging anger, she didn't want to scare ks by showing unnecessary temper but this was a serious matter.
