Jab Hum Miley-Ek Bar Phir

~Dil Galti Kar Baitha Hai~

"Kya problem hai aap ki?" Haseena inquired while dragging Karishma into the gym room.

"Hum is waqat is mamle mein koi baat nahi karni hai, ghar chaliye phir baat karte hain," Karishma responded to Haseena's query as she tried to get rid of her hold on her upper arm.

"Nahi, humain abhi baat karni hai, hum subha taq ka wait nahi kar sakte," Haseena said adamantly while pushing her more into the room and locking the door.

Karishma, who was standing facing her back towards Haseena, turned to leave when Haseena came in between her and the door.

"Bataye...Kya pareshani hai aap ki? Hum subah se dekh rahe hain, jab se hum ne Ammi ke samne aapki aur hamari baat ki hai, aap tab se uncomfortable ho gayi hai,"Haseena asked while looking into her eyes, "Bataye, humain, kya chal raha hai, aap ki is dimag main?"

"Aap! Aap chal rahi hain, humare dimag main, aap ke siwa kuch aur chal sakta hai yahan," Karishma said frustratingly while pointing towards her head.

Haseena looked at her with surprise. "Toh is ka matlab hai ye jo aap ka mood subha se kharab chal raha hai, ye humari waja se hai?" Haseena asked in a displeased tone.

"Humara mood kharab nahi hai....Bas dour bagh rahe hain aap se aur apne aap se," Karishma uttered as she sighed hopelessly.

"Oh My God! Don't tell me, Karishma! You think I don't smell good and that is why you are running away from me," Haseena said in a playful manner.

Karishma looked at her in bewilderment. "You are such an ignorant woman," she mumbled under her breath as she started taking steps towards the door.

Haseena held her wrist to stop her, "Accha maaf kar dijiye, I know it was a bad joke. Lekin, apne, apna chehra dekha hai, bara baje hue hain, bas aap ka mood halka karne ki koshish kar rahe the," she said while folding her hand, "Okay! On a serious note, enlighten this ignorant woman about your emotional turmoil."

Karishma glared at her and after taking a deep breath, she began, "I have told you so many times that I started liking you the very first time I have seen you but to tell you the truth, I fell in love with you the very first time our eyes met. At that very moment, I felt everything has stopped and I couldn't see anything except your chocolate brown eyes. I was just drawn towards you, it was a strange connection that I felt with you without even speaking. My own state worried me at that time, I wanted to run out from that place when you stopped me and walked with me towards student council, I felt elated."

Haseena didn't interfere and let her continue.

"Every counter that I had with you, made me crave more for your presence. I wanted you to be around me all the time, right in front of my eyes where I can see you, I can hear you, and I can feel you," she said deeply.

"So, why were you so mean to me? You have said some really mean things to me," Haseena inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"It was never on you. It was me who was hiding my own insecurities, frailties, and love towards you," she said with a slight break in her voice, "My fondness for you was making me nervous, anxious, and angry at myself. I have never felt those emotions for anyone else except you," she looked at her with a weak smile. "I wanted to be around you but I didn't know how to interact with you, how to get your attention, and how to talk to you, so that was the only thing I could do and because of that, I was successful in gaining your attention," she moved towards her.

"Ye koi bhoat accha tareeka to nahi hai, kisi ko hurt kar ke us ki attention lene ka," Haseena looked into her eyes as she uttered those words.

"Humain pata hai aur yakeen janiye, jitni bhi martaba aap ki aankhon mein hamari wajah se ansoo aaye hain na, hum us raat sukoon se so nahi paye. Aap ko pata hai, agar hamain kisi cheez se nafrat hai na tu wo aap ki aankhon ke aansoo hain, aap roti hain na tum hamara dil karta hai ke bas kuch aisa kar dain, ke aap khush ho jaye....aur is ke liye humain kisi ko marna pare ya khud joker banna pade who bhi manzoor hai," she said while holding Haseena's shoulders.
