Jab Hum Miley-Ek Bar Phir

~Tu Zaroori Sa Hai Mujhko~

Haseena was driving the car and Karishma was looking outside the window. She looked at Haseena and opened her mouth to say something but then, disregarding it in her mind, she diverted her attention back to the continuously changing scenery outside the window.

Haseena who was aware of her dilemma, finally asked her, What is going on in your mind? As she tried to play, Taylor Swift.

Karishma looked at her in disbelief and then she spoke, I can't still bring myself to think, what happened in that bathroom stall.

Why? What is it that you can't grasp? Or you are hinting me that you want more experiences like that, Haseena said with a slight wink as Blank Space started echoing in the car.

I can't with you. Sometimes you are so reckless that I can't even believe that you are the same person who is the in-charge of the station, Karishma said as she turned her whole body towards Haseena.

I am not the same person, Haseena said as she looked into Karishma's eyes.

What do you mean? Karishma asked surprisingly.

At the station, you see a calm and composed, Haseena Mallik, who is responsible for her staff and her people. But, now, I'm just Haseena who is way different from the other one. The station in charge is always uptight and talks about the rules and regulations all the time. But, I like this me, who is sometimes reckless, irresponsible, mischievous, and nonchalant. It feels so good when you do things that give you an adrenaline rush. You should try that sometime, Haseena said as she answered Karishma's query.

Aahhaaann.....Karishma said as she delayed her response as if something is going on, in her mind.

So, which Haseena do you like better? Haseena asked as she replayed the song.

Both, Karishma replied while staring at her intently. 

Haseena turn her head towards Karishma, without uttering any word, and looked at her questionably.

I can't choose because it will, still be you. I find you admirable in all of your avatars. Anything that belongs to you, either it is material or non-material, I cherish them and I cherish them, with their full embodiment, Karishma said while leaning forward towards Haseena as she felt an urge to touch her face.

Haseena was spellbound by Karishma's perception of her. She felt a lump forming in her throat and before her eyes can start spilling out the warmth of Karishma's word, she spoke without turning back to her, Do you know? You have said, I love you to me in so many different ways that each time I think this one is better than the previous one but each time you come up with something so superlative that I just remain lip bound. Where do you get all this from?

From You! The mere look at your face starts forming the sentences in my brains and I start uttering the words that I, myself, is unaware of, Karishma said as she looked at Haseena's hand which was moving towards the player to replay the song once again.

They come from here, Haseena said as she placed her finger on Karishma's heart, and not from here, she pointed at her brains, you, thick head.

Before Haseena can take her hand back, Karishma held it back and placed it on her heart.

Can you feel my heartbeat? Right now, Karishma asked as she looked at Haseena with her piercing gaze.

Haseena just nodded her head while keeping an eye on the road. She can feel Karishma's heart racing a hundred miles per minute as if her ribcage will explode any moment and her heart will fall out from her chest.

That's what happens to me When I hear your name aur When you call me with my name aur When you touch me aur When you look at me, she stressed each of her words, aur, when you are just sitting right in front of me and doing nothing. Tell me, What should I do? Karishma asked as she looked for an answer like a lost child.
