Chapter 8

"ye lijiye humari special coffee." She handed them two cup of coffee before sat beside Haseena. Hassena looked at the coffee, it smells nice. Both sipped their coffees and made yumm face. Karishma was satisfied to see their reactions.

"to Haseena, apko kuch kehna tha humse?" Karishma smiled sweetly. Haseena hesitated for a moment before speaking,"Ha wo, agar apko aitraz na ho apke ghar jaa kar baat kar sakte hain. Apki ammi se vi hume kuch kehna hain."
"Mere amma se? thik hai koi baat nehi chaliye.. waise vi wo vi apse milna chahti thi."

_

At Karishma's house,

Pushpa ji and Santu sat on sofa with snacks in their hand, watching a Crime thriller movie. Cheeta was also watching something, yes his Santu ji.

(in tv)
"Sona, tum kaho to main tumhare liye chand vi thod k laa sakta hu." the hero gave his heroine a charming smile.
"sach mein? tum mujhse itna pyar karte ho?" said heroine blushing lightly.
~
'Main vi apke liye, mitti ka handmade Taj Mahal banake laaunga Santu ji.' Cheeta gave Santu dreamy eyes.

The bell rang, "shayad Karu ayi hogi.. main dekh kar ati hu." Pushpa ji went to open the door. There were two more girls standing with her Karu. Pushpa ji furrowed her eyebrows at Karishma, asking who are them through the gaze.
"Karu ye log kaun hain?"
"Hello hum hain Naina Mathur or ye hai mera best friend Haseena Mallik." Naina introduced both of them. Haseena smiled at her and motioned 'Namaste'

"Oo to ap hi wo Haseena hain?" asked Pushpa ji looking lovingly at Haseena. I mean who wouldn't like her? Her dimple wala smile, innocent face seems to steal half of the generation's hearts.
"Ji."
"Ap log bahar khade kiu hain? andar ayiye." Pushpa ji let them in. Karishma grabbed Haseena's hand and dragged her into the room. Well it's revenge time.

"Ye dekhiye, wo wale painting banake humne ye medal jite hain." she pointed a medal from her medal collection.
"aur ye prize to humne UP state painting competition mein first mein jite hain. prize money mila tha poore 50 thousand."
"Ye certificate aur trophy humne-"
Now she was showing off her collection of trophies with proud smirk on her face. Haseena looked at them with shining eyes cause she never won any trophies in painting. She was terrible painter. Once she painted a castle and everyone thought it was a haunting house. Till then she never tried to draw any haunting house or else.

Santu remained unbothered by all of this as she fully drawn herself on TV. Cheeta drawn himself on Santu.
"Karu, unhe andar aake baith ne to do.. wo sab baad mein dikhana." Karishma looked at Haseena before calling her, "Chaliye amma bula rahi hai, andar baith te hain." She again hold her hand. She's kind of liking that how their hands fits perfectly together like it was made to hold each other.

Haseena went behind Karishma. Pushpa ji handed them a glass of coke which they took.
"Sukriya anty ji." said Naina.
"Anty ji? Kau-n anty ji?" There Pushpa ji again started her over acting.

"Humari yeha shaadi jaldi hua karti thi, isiliye warna apne Santu se kuch do char saal badi hu. Aj vi jab main aur Santu saath mein chalte hain to log keh te hain, 'wo dekho.. wo ja rahi hain khubsurat behene'."
Naina scratched her head and looked at Haseena with corner of eyes. Haseena was also looking at her giving a tight lipped smile.

Karishma rolled her eyes at her, "Amma 2-4 saal?"
"ha wo kuch 5-6 saal." Naina and Haseena both smiled lightly.
"Acha to fir aj se apko hum Pushpa ji kahe?"
"Ha-" Pushpa ji was going to say something but cut off by the TV.

In this scene, two goons were distributing a lady. She was shouting for help. Suddenly out of nowhere a hero came flying with his bike. He keep flying and flying, it seems like the bike smoked some cheap weed. That made it fly, fly like Baaz.
The hero forwarded his leg and kicked one of the guy's head still flying. After 3mins of Flying bike kick session the goons seemed to frightened and ran away without wasting time.
Now his bike landed on street and the hero quickly gave his heroine a toothy smile. The heroine impressed and the song started there,
Suddenly both of them went to switzerland and started dancing.

'Physics and logic died and died again.' Haseena mumbled to herself.
"Issh!" three of them startled at Pushpa Ji's act.
"Ap-p ap thik to haina?"-Haseena.

"Ap logon ko pata hain, bilkul aise hi ek din raste mein hume kuch gunde ched rahe the."
"fir?"
"fir kya? Karu k pappa aye humein bachane aise hi." Pushpa ji blushed.
"Bike pe udd k?"- Karishma.
"nehi, cycle pe. Tab bike kharida nehi. Jyada budget nehi tha na."
"Baba ne saare gundo ko dho dala tha?"
"nehi, sun to pehle.. wo cycle ko mere samne aake roke aur gundo se kaha 'Time please'. Fir mujhe ankho se ishara karke baithne ko kaha. Main jaise hi baithi unhone jor jor cycle chala k waha se bhaag nikle." She paused for a moment before starting again, "mujhe le ke utni jor se cycle chalane k wajah se unke pairon mein bohot dard hua tha. humne pori raat baith k unke sewa ki. Ab kya hi kare.. itna sundar hona apne ap mein ek avisaap hain. issh"

Three of them looked at each other, Karishma motion Naina not to take her seriously.
"Um Pushpa ji humein ap se kuch baat karni thi."-Haseena.
"Ha ha kahiye?"
"Rukiye, humein ap dono ko kuch dikhana hain." She opened her phone and showed them a photo. It was that photo of Haseena and Karishma.
"Ye to hum dono ka photo hain, ye kisne-?" Karishma looked questioning gaze.
"Pushpa ji, ab jo main ap dono se kehne jaa rahi hu, aasa karti hu ap dono mujhe samjhenge."- Haseena lowered her gaze in shame. Though it's nothing wrong to be gay but old peoples were not aware of this new normal. What she will thought of her, when she tell them whole matter?

Naina assured Haseena, and she started, "To hum suru se suru karte hain. Hum hain Haseena Mallik. Hum ek agency mein relationship therapist hain, matlab Jin logon ko apne relationship mein adjust karne mein problem hota hai, hum un logo ki madad karte hain.
Uske saath main ek writer vi hu-" she paused when Karishma spoke, "Ap likhti hai?"
"Ji. Romance writer basically. Kuch kuch stories bohot famous vi hua hain. To iss bar- umm." She looked hesitatingly at Naina.
"Iss bar isne ek gay love story likha hai, ek international publication ki demand par. Apko gay pata hai?" said Naina.

"Ha, bilkul pata hain. Sharma ji ka Bhai k beti hi to gay hain. Wo do din pehle ayi thi yeha apne girlfriend se milwane.. issh bade khubsurat lagte hain dono saath mein." Naina and Haseena looked at her with open eyes. How they can forget that Pushpa ji isn't old like others. She again proved her forever green heart with that one sentence. Haseena had gained some immense respect for her immediately. She is accepting so easily what her own father couldn't.

"To Karishma k sath mera ye photo kisine kitch liya. Ab ye pic viral ho gayi hain aur sab samjh rahe hain ki hum aur Karishma couple hain." Haseena completed the sentence in one go. But somehow she felt confident around Pushpa ji and her motherly vibes.

Karishma looked at her with open mouth, "Wo publication k log ab inhe, humari saath parties ya fir dusre jagah jaane k liye bol rahe hai taaki book ki sale acchi ho."
"To apne unhe sach kiu nehi bataya?" asked Karishma.
"Kiu ki-"
"Kiu ki socho, agar ek lesbian romance writer ke khud ki girlfriend nehi rahe ga to log uski story ko kya padna chahe ga?" Naina put the logic there.
"To Haseena ap kya chahti hain?" Karishma looked straight at Haseena, who was sweating badly on her heated gaze, "Kya-kya ap mere fake girlfriend banengi? bas book release hone tak, I promise." She lowered her gaze and joined her hands.
Pushpa ji hold her hand and gave it a light press. "Ye book release mera sapna hai.. sirf mera nehi meri puri team ka.. please Karishma mana maat kijiye." She looked at Karishma with hopeful eyes throwing stars from her gaze like Shinchan.

Karishma smiled in mind, "kab hai apki book release?"
"Ek mahine badh. tab tak ap humare ghar mein shift ho jaiye. Aur Pushpa ji hum wada karte hai ki inka pora pora khayal rakhenge."
"Please Pushpa ji." Naina also requested.

Pushpa ji looked at Karishma for her permission. Karishma nodded yes.
"Thik hai.. hum taiyaar hain."
"yehhhhh!" both Naina and Haseena shouted in joy. They never imagined that they would admit their request that easily.

"Shhh! film ka climax chal raha hai." Santu said in annoy.
Everyone diverted their attention to the tv

In the last scene where Police caught the villan and said 'Bohot khel liya pakdam pakdai ab aya tu humare pakad mein.'
The villan surrendered. Hero and heroine hugged at each other, Happy ending.

"Hut, pora time barbaad ho gaya Pushpee.. maine kya kya nehi socha tha, par ye log to pakdam pakdai khel rahe the." said Santu.
"Ufff.. ye masumiyat Santu ji."

Happy beginning of their journey..
