Snowflake Method (Kareena Version)

Chapter 8

Haseena's POV

Karishma was right, Gunjan is only two years older than her.

This can't fucking be happening, I thought.

After trying so hard to hide my past of random hookups from Karishma, just randomly running into one of them was never something I expected. And I sure as hell didn't expect one of them to be dating her father.

What the hell is Gunjan doing? Daksh must be more than twice her age.

Gunjan's eyes landed on me and a flash of recognition swooped on her features.

Oh no, I thought.

I don't want Karishma to think I was some sort of fuck boy, I don't want her to think that I was ever using her. I mean after so long she has to know she was different from all of the other student hookups, right?

The more I think about this the more I realise what a fucking idiot I am! I should have told her, why didn't I fucking tell her?!

"Haseena Mallik" Gunjan says with a smirk in her voice "Small world"

I feel a small tug on my hand as I turn to see my girlfriend struggle to keep her composure.

"Aap ek dusre ko jante h?" she asked, with her eyebrows ached.

I nodded nervously before speaking up "Uh- Yeh humari student hua karti thi" I mumbled.

"Toh hume aap dono ko introduce karane ki zarurat nhi h" Daksh said "Baki sab ke liye, yeh Gunjan h humari girlfriend" he announced.

I saw Karishma almost wince at his choice of words.

What the hell is going to happen now?

Every instinct is telling me to get the fuck out of here.

But I can't leave Karishma. There is no way I am letting her anywhere near Daksh alone.

Am I supposed to acknowledge Gunjan though? I'm sure she doesn't necessarily want Daksh to know about her college hookups anyways... right?

They both take their seats and we begin to eat, though no one speaks up for a few minutes, until Nawab sahab decides to break the silence.

"Toh aap Haseena ko janti h huh?" he asks Gunjan

She nods and smirks "Bahot ache se"

The silence wasn't particularly comfortable but I very much prefer to go back to it than to continue with this topic of conversation.

The flirtatious tone in her voice didn't go unnoticed by Karishma.

"Sach mein? Aur kitna ache?" she asked.

F*ck.

"Ek second," Daksh said. His eyes shifted from me back to his girlfriend as if he were asking a silent question.

All I saw from my peripheral vision was a slight nod from Gunjan's head.

"Haseena woh professor thi jiske sath tumne..." he shouted, making everyone at the table jump slightly in their seats.

F*ck!

"Huh!" Karishma looked at me, releasing my hand immediately.

F*ck!

"Haan Haseena ki... alag hi reputation hua karti thi" she giggled

Does this lady seriously not see what she's doing right now, or does she just not care?

A loud clashing noise caused all of our heads to turn to Daksh's side of the table. He was now standing up and shooting daggers at me with his eyes.

"Tumhe toh main chhoduga nhi Haseena Mallik" he spat "Tum humari beti se dur rho" he said making his way towards me.

Karishma quickly stood up standing in between us as I also rose to my feet.

"Aap humare rehte inko kuch nhi karenge" she said with an authority in her voice I had never heard before.

It wasn't until then that I noticed Daksh's hands were balled up into fists.

"Humare samne se hat jao Karishma" he said through gritted teeth.

She put her hands on his chest, keeping him away from me "Aap Haseena ko kuch nhi karenge. Un tak pohochne se pehle apko humse nipatna padega" she said.

I couldn't let her do that so I took her hand, even though she tried to fight it, and gently pushed her to my side

"Karishma..."

"Shut up!" she said.

He looked at her challengingly but she didn't back down "Kya soch rhe h? Aisa toh h nhi ki pehle kabhi apne humare upar hath nhi uthaya h"

The next few seconds felt like they happened in slow motion.

I watched Daksh's hand rise as I instinctively moved in front of my girlfriend, but before Daksh's palm could collide with anyone my reflexes kicked in and I pushed him against the wall. Later, I let Nawab handle him to keep him in place

"Tum Karishma ko leke idhar se jao" he told Karishma and I.

My girlfriend looked at her mom and Pushpa ji gave her a nod "Tum log jao humari fikr mat karo" she said.

Before I knew it I had Karishma's slim fingers wrapped around my wrist as she was pulling me out of that house and towards our car.

That could have been prevented, all of it and it was all my fucking fault.

As soon as we were within the confines of our vehicle I wanted to say something to her, anything that could make this better.

"Krish..."

"Nhi" she said as the car's engine roared to life "Abhi humko apse koi baat nhi karni h. Okay?" she asked as she pulled out.

"Okay"
