Irresistible

44. Biwi waali baatein

"Nikkah hogi toh dhoom dhaam se hogi."

"Warna?" Karishma asked crossing her arms.

"Warna nahi hogi." Haseena announced and Karishma looked at her with widened eyes.

"Kitni asaani se bata diya aapne ki shaadi nahi hogi." Karishma's voice cracked and she couldn't help the couple of tears that escaped her eyes.

Haseena closed her eyes and exhaled.

"Karishma..."

"Humein kuch der ke liye akele mein rehna hai." And after saying that Karishma rushed outside.

Haseena looked at Ammi.

"Kya zaroorat thi itni kadwi baatein karne ki? Dekho woh bacchi kaise rote hue gayi hai." Ammi scolded Haseena.

"Arrey nahi Noor behen. Maddam sir bilkul sahi keh rahi hai. Aap unhein kuch mat boliye. Jab pyaar kar liya hai uss pyaar par itna bharosa toh honi chahiye ki duniya ke saamney usse jata sako. Jab donon biwi raazi toh kya karega kaazi." Pushpa ji said comically and Noor laughed. She had as usual sided with Haseena but she had a reason for siding with her. (PJ dialogue credits to thecreativetake lol)

"Ammi hum unko dekkar aate hai."

Haseena walked outside and Noor and Pushpa ji shared smiles.

"Kitne perfect hai na inki jodi? Ek root thi hai toh dusri mana leti hai. Ek ko gussa aata hai toh dusri shaanti se baat karti hai. Humme toh fiqar hi nahi hoga ek baar bas shaadi ho jaye"

"Haan woh toh hai." They didn't seem to care about the arguments and had started talking about caterers, decorations and other important wedding related stuff.

Karishma had gone to the terrace and upon hearing footsteps she wiped her face clearing away the stray tears.

"Humne kaha na ki hum akele mein rehna chahte hai Haseena." She said without even looking. Who else could it be?

"Karishma." Haseena said softly.

"Haseena ka aap humsey shaadi karna nahi chahti?" Karishma enquired in a tiny voice. She feared what Haseena might say. What if Haseena actually didn't want to marry her anymore?

"Karna chahte hai Karishma. Aapse hi nikkah karna chahte hai. Aapke saat puri zindagi bitana chahtey hai. I want to show off our relationship to the entire world. Humme iss rishtey par faqr hai Karishma. Hum nahi chahte ki hum issey chupaye."

"Haseena you know I have my reasons. Aap jaanti hai na kitna mushkil hoga humare liye?"

"Tajurba kehta hai humara ki Zindagi ko jeena asaan nahi hota, Zindagi ko jeena asaan banana padta hai, kaise kuch sabr karke, kuch bardasht karke, aur bahut kuch Nazar Andaaz karke."

Karishma felt her goosebumps rising on listening to those words from Haseena. And the respect she held in her heart for her Senior for her maddam sir was proof enough that she would never hide her relationship with Karishma from the world. Haseena had reacted exactly how Karishma knew she would.

"Kya issey pehle hum mushkil saamney nahi kiya hai Karishma? We have been through worse. Zamana badal raha hai aur humme lagta hai ki humko hum jaise dusro ke liye example banna chahiye."

"Kaheen example banne ke chakkar mein hume naukri se nikala gaya toh? Tab kya karengi aap?" Karishma asked finally turning to face Haseena.

"Itna bhi bura nahi hai Police Department. Humein umeed hai ki aisa kuch nahi hoga par agar hua toh humein humare aur aapke kabiliyat par itna toh yakeen hai ki koi security guard ki job toh mil hi jayega kaheen. Haan tankaab tora kam hoga par ghar manage ho jayega aap fikar mat kijiye, agar mushkil hua toh aapke bike bech dengey" Haseena said and Karishma chuckled.
