Stay With Me -AnuSeena FanFic 4

A Shocker For Radhika-Aadarsh

4 months later.

4 months had passed since that 'unexpected kiss' night. Anubhav had checked out of the hotel the very next day. He went to Lucknow, alone and started packing his bag upon reaching home. Of course Aadarsh was furious when Anubhav said he had to leave for Germany immediately due to some urgent work coming up.

Hamid, too, was distressed. The elders had thought that the trip to Banaras will bring the young hearts close and this wedding which was being forced on Anubhav would observe his nod as well but this didn't happen. Little did they know that the young hearts did come close but only for few minutes during the kiss, they were separated again, by awkwardness and guilt. Aadarsh and Radhika had tried their best to stop him but he lent them a deaf ear and stormed out of the house.

These 4 months were the toughest for Haseena. When she woke up the next morning after the kiss, she had blushed and had started romanticizing what more could have happened the previous night had the electricity not come and interrupted them. But, all her happiness was burnt to ashes when she found out that Anubhav had checked out without her. She was even more heartbroken on finding that he had left India altogether even before she reached Lucknow.

Aadarsh and Radhika had begged forgiveness from her and Hamid on behalf of Anubhav's carelessness. Hamid was sweet enough to understand them and came to terms with Anubhav's parents. But Haseena....

She had a lot of thoughts cloud up her mind in these 4 months. Thoughts like, didn't Anubhav like the kiss? Did he want something more? Did he feel that she is insufficient? All these thoughts were normal questions which arise from the insecurity one feels after break up. Apart from all these, the thought that worried her the most was how he had cheated on his girlfriend with her. She never wanted to be the relationship breaker, the 'third woman'. At times, she was relieved that he went back to Germany, to his girlfriend and saved her from further guilt.

All these months, Haseena started to overwork herself. She would stay in the Thaana even after her duty hours indulging herself in work so much that she would go hours without eating. Her eating timing and sleeping timings were greatly disturbed. And smile? Huh. She looked like she had forgotten how to smile. She had become epitome of half hearted, fake smiles. All her closed ones could easily tell the difference.

Karishma was one such person really close to Haseena. She quickly identified the changed Haseena as well as the reason behind this change. Haseena's depression was surely not affecting her work, she was solving the cases with the same commitment and interest but her personal life was destroyed. She had grown irritated and had started getting angry on seemingly insignificant things.

Karishma: *entering her cabin* Jai Hind Maddam Sir.

Haseena: *small smile* Jai Hind. Karishma Singh, woh, Akshata ke case ka kya hua?

Karishma: Akshata? Ama kaun Akshata Maddam Sir?

Haseena: Arey abhi jo case....

Karishma: Maddam Sir woh Akshara hai Akshata nahi.

Haseena: Haan? Haan...haan...wahi. Woh ham bass thode confused.... Khair, kaisa chal raha hai case?

Karishma: Ham tehkikaad ke liye uske ghar bass jaane hi waale the. 

Haseena: Haan toh jaldi jaiye aur investigation keejiye.

Karishma: Haan, nahi, matlab woh toh ham karenge lekin hamein aapse kuch baat karni thi.

One look from Karishma's face and Haseena understood it was something serious Karishma wanted to talk about. She gestured her to sit on the chair.

Haseena: Boliye.
