Opening her eyes , and blinking a few times , Karishma gulped her throat seeing the concerned and tensed face of her 'jiji' . She shifted her gaze and understood that it was the resting room of her tuition centre .
" Abhi kaisa lag raha ? "
Miss Singh asked .
" Better "
Karishma nodded .
" Mam apse baat toh ho gayi , ab aap izazaat de toh ghar jaaye isko leke "
Haseena asked while passing a death glare to Karishma .
" Heiinn 😳 , baat bhi ho gayi !!! Ab toh baachne ke bilkul chance nahi dikh raha 😭 "
" Ji Haseena , bilkul "
Miss Singh nodded .
" Chalo "
Haseena spoke , and Karishma gulped in fear already imagining the upcomings. She didn't speak and got up slowly and followed her jiji , passing a nod to Aayra .
" Test tha aaj ? "
Haseena asked after reaching home .
" Ghar pohchke hi sidha kaun test ke puchte hai yaar jiji 🥺 "
Karishma tried initiating a conversation with Haseena , but no use . Haseena did not reply , and her silence demanded the answer to her question.
" H..hua hain jiji "
Karishma fumbled , already scared of Haseena's anger .
" Papers ? "
Karishma got up from the sofa and went to bring the papers from her bag , while Haseena was watching her out sternly .
" Kuch dinon mai exam hai aur maharani yahi haalat bana liye apna !! "
She mumbled to herself in disbelief . Karishma got the papers and handed them to her , standing at a distance .
" Idhar aake baith !! "
Haseena ordered and Karishma dared no more to disobey .
" Ahaan... Marks is good... Keep it up .... Ba... Karishma "
Although she wanted to praise her baccha for her performance , but the incident and mam's complaints flashed before her eyes , and she maintained her strict posture . And here Karishma understood that the only possibility that her jiji could melt was fully zero now .
" Room mei jaao rest kar lo "
Haseena ordered taking the test paper and Karishma's bag to her room . As soon as Haseena left , Karishma could feel a layer of tears making it's way out from her eyes .
" Phirse jiji 🥺 "
She mumbled before running to the washroom . She sprinkled water right into her face , unable to stop her tears.
A past incident flashed before her eyes , when she had raised her hand for the same reason in school.
Flashback-
" Jo karna hai karo , just do anything you want!!! Na mujhe kuch sun'na hai , aur na hi kuch kehna hai mujhe "
Haseena said angrily looking at her sister who was bowing her head down ...
" Ab yeh sar jhukake guilty ban'ne ka naatak mat karna mere saamne , laga denge ek khichke "
" Jiji please ... "
Karishma gave a last try , but Haseena paid no heed to her words .
" Himmat toh dekho zara apni ... Maana karne ke baad bhi wahi same chiz karni hai toh baat mat karo humse!! Jaao ... "
" Jiji woh "
Haseena showed her palm to stop ...
" Har naye din bas complaints aani hai school se , padhayi karne jaati ho ya kya karti ho bhagwaan hi jaane!! "
Haseena was angry beyond limits ...
" Jiji padhayi toh kar leti hun na "
Karishma replied , still looking down at the floor ...
" Phirse!!! Phirse ulta jawaab ... Padhai karne se saari galtiyan maaf nahi ho jaati ... Irritate mat karo , jaao yaha se ...."
Karishma did not move still .
" Jaa rahi ho ya ghar se nikal de tujhe haa "
Haseena shouted , causing Karishma to flinch .
Flashback end
Karishma sprinkles water one more time onto her face ...
" Last time phir bhi toh baat ki thi aap , tchh kya hoga is baar .... "
Karishma comes out of the washroom , and glances at the closed door of her ' jiji ' with closed eyes ...
" Face toh karna hi hai "
She closes her eyes to muster enough courage .... Reaching to the closed entrance of the room , she decides to call ...
" Jiji "
