Jab Hum Miley-Ek Bar Phir

~Saari Ki Saari~

Haseena was sitting in her cabin when she heard Ammi's voice outside. She came out just to make sure if she heard it correctly.

Noor-Jahan Begum, who was inquiring about Haseena from Pushpa Ji, ran towards Haseena after seeing her. She placed her hands on Haseena's shoulder and asked her, "Why are you not taking my calls?"

"Batate hain aap ko, chaliye," Haseena wrapped her hand around Noor-Jahan's shoulder and took her to the cabin while asking Santosh to bring some water.

"Kya hua hai, aap ko?" Haseena inquired in a displeased tone.

"Hum pichle teen din se phone kar rahe hain, aap phone kyu nahi Utha rahi?" Noor-Jahan Begum said in a slightly concerned tone.

"Kyunki aap Phir se Shaadi ki baat karain gi, aur hum aap ko bol chuke hain humain shaadi nahi karni, Khaas kar us ladke se jis ko aap pasand karain gi," she uttered in a rebellious manner.

"Madam Sir, Panni," Santosh entered the Cabin without any permission.

"Yah! Rakh dijiye," Haseena pointed towards the table and after Santosh left, she continued to speak, "Hum aate hai, Shaam main aap se milne, phir baat karte hain, Yah per koi baat nahi kar sakte hum."

Noor-Jahan Begum just stared at her face and after writing the name of the hotel on the paper, she left without any pleasantries.

Around 7:00 Pm

Karishma was on patrol duty for the whole day. Upon her arrival, from the distance, she saw Haseena leaving the thana in a very well-dressed manner. She was wearing an orange saree with a golden blouse, her hair was left loose which was continuously caressing her cheeks and with minimal makeup, she was looking ever so breathtakingly beautiful.

"Yeah, Madam Sir kaha gayi hai?" Karishma asked as soon as she entered thana.

"Madam Sir ki Ammi ayi thi aj dhoper main, jab hum unhain paani dene gaye the to wo kisi ladke ke bare me baat kar rahi thi," Santosh informed Karishma in one breath.

"Aap ne dekha unko, kitni khoobsurat lag rahi thi," Pushpa Ji participated in the conversation.

"Haan, aaj to lag raha hai, unki baat pakki ho hi jaye gi," Billu also shared his views.

"Amma! Kya baketi kar rahe hain, aap sub," Karishma yelled in an extreme anger.

"Aap theek hai, Madam!" Santosh inquired while moving towards Pushpa Ji in order to avoid Karishma's Bhokal.

"Humain acha nahi lag raha, hum ghar ja rahe hain, subha milte hai, aap sab se," and after saying that Karishma left the thana without making eye contact with anyone.

At the Hotel Room

"Ammi, Hum ne aap se phele bhi kaha tha, keh humain shaadi nahi karni, na ajj, na kał or na hi ane wale kal," Haseena said while throwing her hand in the air.

"Aur kyu nahi karni?" Noor Jahan Begum looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Aap ko phele to koi interest nahi tha humari life mein, tou ab asa kya hoagya, jo aapko humari itni fikar ho rahi hai," Haseena inquired while moving towards the chair.

"Haseena! Bacchae," Noor Jahan Begum sat right next to her and start stroking her hair gently and while doing so she continue to speak, "Don't you love me, and won't you marry a person of my choice," Noor Jahan Begum asked in a politest of the manner in her bucket.

"Ahhhh! Love," Haseena scoffed and got up from the chair. She looked at Noor-Jahan and started speaking, "Love is the most overused emotion in my life, Ammi. You have manipulated me over and over again just because of this one word. Now, I don't even know what actual love feels like. Moreover, you want me to marry him because you might have some business deal to make, it's not me that you worry about, it's always the money that comes first for you. Am I right?" Haseena asked.
