LET ME LOVE YOU

HIDDEN YEARNINGS

Waiving her a nice bye, Karishma walked into the room from the balcony and gloominess engulfed her. "Hamare paas do naye cases hain kaam karne ke liye, hum kyu kisi ke baare mein soch ke time waste karenge? Huh?"

And then she wasted all the time until she fell asleep, overthinking about Haseena and Misha.

"Tune dinner kia?" Haseena asked to Misha who was making her bed.
"Hmmm"
"Misha, ice cream khayegi?"
"Fridge mein hai tujhe khani hai toh khale" She said plainly.
"Tu nahi khayegi?"Haseena asked.
"Nahi mera mood nahi hai"

Haseena sighed. She went and engulfed her from behind. "Haseena please, mujhe kuch bhi motivational speech mat dena" Haseena caressed her hands and tighten her grip around her. "Tum teenager thodi ho jo motivation denge hum tumhe, you have already seen a lot in your life and you know how it is! It's okay to give time to yourself, its okay to cry. But just, for once think of that bastard you're crying for. He doesn't even give a shit about you. He used you, Misha. If I were in your place, would you have let me shed a single tear Misha?"

Misha hides herself in Haseena's embrace and shook her head. "I don't know Haseena... I DON'T KNOW!!" She cried. "The love, the hate, the anger... all these feelings are suffocating me! They are killing me from inside. I... He.. betrayed me! He's a traitor! I am... I was his girlfriend..." Haseena was stroking her hair, "My heart refuses to believe that Shorya can do something like that but my mind is saying otherwise. This battle between heart and brain has pissed me off Haseena!! It's paining yaar!"

"Shhhh, it's okay, Everything's gonna be fine..." Haseena mumbled softly, stroking her hair and kissing her head in between.

"Pushpee" Santosh sang in Pushpa Ji's ears while she was working silently on her desk.

"Ama Santu..." She chided, "bolo kya hua?"

Santosh looked here n there and then said slowly, "baat karni hai"
Pushpa ji looked at her with raised eyebrows and then becomes excited for the gossip. "Bolo bolo!!" She said while they move outside to have some tea.

"woh..." Santu leaned in while keeping an eye on her surrounding, "aapko nahi lagta Pushpa ji, ki, Maddam sir aur Karishma madam ke beech kuch chal raha hai?"

"Kahan yaar Santu, kuch kahan se chalega un dono ke beech mein, humein pehle se hi pata tha maddam sir acchi adakara hai, acchi acting kar leti hain, Lekin khud ki zindagi mein bhi karengi yeh batao tumne socha tha kabhi? Oopar se yeh Karishma madam, pehle toh kabhi unki baat nahi maanti thi phir yeh drama karne ko raazi kaise ho gayin!! Zaroor maddam sir ne inhe promotion ka lalach dia hoga... Lekin phir bhi Karishma madam aisi toh hain nahi, aur maddam sir bhi aisi nahi hain, aur phir dono apne hi pariwaron se jhooth pe jhooth bol rahe hain, bolte hi chale jaa rahe hain, soch bhi nahi rahe ki ruk jaana chahiye..." And she started huffing after continuously speaking.

Santosh offered her a glass of water. "Calm down Pushpa ji varna lalla k pappa dikh jayenge" She said rubbing her back.

"Lekin Pushpa Ji baat to thik kar rahi hain Santu ji" They heard Cheetah's voice from behind. He sits beside them and joined the gossip.

"Maddam sir ki ammi ko bolte hain shadi ki date fix karne ke liye, tabhi yeh dono apna natak khatm karenge agar pyaar nahi hoga toh" Pushpa ji suggested.

"Aapko un dono ki aankhon mein pyaar nahi dikhta hai kya Pushpa ji?" Santosh asked, "un dono ko ek dusre ko dekhte hue kabhi dekha hai? As if the other one resembles the moon; that's how they admire each other"

"Gajab matlab gajabbb Santu ji, aap un dono ki aankhon mein aise sab dekh sakti hain lekin hamari aankhon mein aapko kuch nahi dikh paata hai Santuji, aap itni masoom kyu hain!" Cheetah said worriedly.
