-: Karishma's POV :-
- Two days later -
I wake up rubbing my eyes and yawning. I check my phone and it's 12:39pm. God!
I missed my school today and I've a stupid party today with Mishri. So, I check messages from her.
Mishri: Hiii.. It's fine agar tum party mein nahi aana chahti. I'll hangout with other girls there.
What's up with her?! Today her message was dry but they were usually filled with a lot of emojis. Anyways...
After some time I got out of the bed and completed my daily morning routine. Then I walked down to the kitchen and ate some bread and juice.
I was all alone in the house as Shila aunty went to her village.
I went back to my room. It's been more than a month my mom contacted me. May be she is busy with her work and stuffs. I fell back in my bed and stare at the ceiling for a few minutes thinking. I wish my dad was alive so that I had someone to talk to.
I sat up thinking about the party. I might go there rather than staying in this house all alone.
In the evening I changed and was about to leave but don't know why I took the paper which Miss Malik gave me with her number on it and put it in my pocket.
I walk down stairs and grab the keys of the house. I locked the house and started walking over Mishri's house where the party was.
I check my phone and it's almost 7 pm. I had a message from Santu so I checked it.
Santu: Are you okay?! Aaj school nahi aayi.
Me: Yes I'm fine. Just uthne mein der ho gayi thi so.... Mai Mishri ke ghar ja rahi hoon party ke liye kya tum aa rahi ho?!
Santu: Nahi. Mai nahi aa sakti. Have fun!
I put my phone back in my pocket as I walk up to Mishri's house.
The door was open. There were a lot of people talking and making out.
I looked around for Mishri but there was no sign of her. Then I looked around for her friends and found one of them dancing. I called her.
" Where's Mishri? " I asked her shouting because of the loud music.
" May be upstairs. I don't know. " She shouted back.
I nod and walk over to the stairs. All the doors were closed. There were few people talking in the hall so I went over them.
" Do you guys know where Mishri is? " I ask and they look at eachother suppressing their smile or laugh. Idk.
" Haan uss room mein hai wo. Shayad tumhari hi wait kar rahi hai. Jao jao. " One of them replied laughing and I furrow my eyebrows confused.
I walk over to the door they pointed at. I knocked and waited there for a few seconds but there was no answer. So, I twisted the door handle and open the door.
I froze there seeing Mishri making out with a boy. She turned her head and saw me and instantly rolled off.
" Karishma! " She shouted.
I walked out of the room slamming the door. I walked quickly through the people on stairs, bumping into a few.
I walked out of her house and started heading towards the park I usually go to when I feel like shit.
I got to the park and sat at my usual bench. It was dark and cold there. I should have expected it. I'm so fucking dumb. I don't know whether I'm feeling angry or sad.
I pulled out the paper Miss Malik gave me and my phone. I typed in her number and texted her.
Me: It's me Karishma. Mai abhi wahi pe hoon jaha hum pehli baar mile the. Can you come here? Please!
I drop my phone beside me. I'm bothering her. She only wants to talk out of pity. Probably she just feels bad for me. But she doesn't know anything about me. So I don't get it. She's not gonna come. May be she's asleep.
I stare at the group for a few minutes.
" Hey... " I heard a voice and looked up. Seeing Miss Malik the only thing I was feeling at that time was guilt. I dragged that woman out of her house just for me.
" I'm sorry. " I said.
" It's ok Karishma. " She sat down right beside me.
She leaned over me and looked into my eyes.
" Kya hua?! " She tilted her head and leaned back. She turned her body towards me to listen. I felt something different as our knees touched.
" I'm sorry for making you come here at this time. I shouldn't have texted you just because I'm not feeling well. "
" Karishma I care for you if I didn't I wouldn't have come. Agar aap chahe toh we can sit in silence. I just want you to know that I'm here for you. "
" It's been more than a month since my mom contacted me. Mujhe kabhi kabhi doubt hota hai ki woh mujhse pyaar karti bhi hai ya nahi. Dad ke guzar jaane ke baad puri duniya mere liye bohot alag ho gayi hai. Mai uss ghar mein akele rehte rehte tired ho chuki hoon. Then today I saw my girlfriend making out with a someone else. I can't continue this relationship anymore. It isn't bothering me that much because I don't have any feelings for her and I'm pretty sure about it. But I don't know.... " I started talking.
" Karishma look agar aapko Ghar mein akelapan mehsus ho toh aap kabhi bhi mere paas aa sakti hai. I know agar yeh baat school mein kisiko pata chale toh problem ho sakti hai but hum kisiko janne hi nahi denge. Rahi baat aapki ammi ki toh wo aapse pyaar karti hai. And that girlfriend of yours, she is a stupid otherwise she wouldn't cheat on someone like you. So Miss Singh can you smile please?! " She smiled at me holding my face in her hand.
" Why are you helping me?! "
" Because I care. " She smiled and looked at me.
My heart quickened. I leaned forward and hugged her tightly without asking her.
I leaned back quickly.
" I'm sorry... I ruin everything. " I said and she started laughing.
" You're such an idiot. " She rolled her eyes and kissed on my cheek.
WTF!! GOD..... MY HEART!!!!!!
" Karishma you're angry and sad right now. We all do silly things when we're angry or sad. So it's ok. " She smiled and looked away for a second.
" I think ab mujhe jaana chahiye thank you Miss Malik. " I said and quickly walked away without saying goodbye.
God I just hugged her and she just kissed me right on my cheek. I don't know I'm feeling something different.
