Chapter 20

Hearing a loud bang, Haseena's eyes opened. Seems like Karishma is making iron man suit in the kitchen. Haseena sighed.
She looked at her digital clock, indicating 6.12am. Still early to get up anyway. The previous night party was hectic for them. Speaking of party, they had an unexpected kiss on the pool side. Still she could feel the warmth of Karishma's lip which was sliding smoothly against her tongue. Mix of tangy orange with strawberry lipstick taste bursts in her mouth. Yumm!
Oh she shouldn't have eaten her lipstick. It reminds her, what happened with Imran Hasmi.
It's one time duh! They are not gonna kiss again. Really, why aren't you believing her?! Rest of the night went awkward for them, specially for Haseena. Karishma had eaten almost everything and ended up with a balloon tummy.

Flashback

Karishma walked towards buffet with Naina, leaving a blushing Haseena behind. Her cheeks had equal colour of cherry top of the cake. Cake! Karishma took the piece of cake in her hand removing the cherry, which was placed on the cake. Without giving any attention to Haseena, she brought that red fruit to her lips which was parted a little. Haseena eye observed every detail of her delicate lips, which was moving like it was moving against her few minutes ago.

"Hello miss Malik." Haseena's thought broke, hearing a womanly voice. Haseena turned to find the source of voice, and her eyes found a pair of chocolate brown eyes, same colour as Karishma's. 'Karishma's eyes are more beautiful.' she told herself.
The owner of that chocolate eyes, wears a kind of business suit, like she planned to wear but Karishma didn't let her. Her face had bold makeup with high pony. Her one hand held a glass of whisky. Shivani's red lips twitched with a warm smile. Haseena also returned the smile, "Hello, Miss Pawar.. nice to meet you."
"Ap thi kaha miss Malik, main apko kabse dhoondh rahi thi.."
"wo main bas.. uh.."
"Apne girlfriend k sath busy the? samjh gaye, chaliye baith k bat karte hain."
"Nehi,..uh.. chaliye."
They headed towards an empty table.

"Wo apki girlfriend haina?" Shivani pointed at Karishma who was busy with food and talk with Naina. Haseena nodded.
"She's people person, apke liye accha hi hain."
"Ha.."
Shivani sat cross legged and swirled her glass before sipping it, "Mera girlfriend bhi bilkul Karishma jaisi hain.."
"Wo.. to ap uss bare mein batana chahenge?" Haseena sat straight, while curious gaze flicked through her eyes. She could use their story in her new book.

Karishma looked up from her plate and found that Haseena nowhere to be seen. She scanned the whole room and finally found out that Haseena was sitting with a unknown, gorgeous lady.. who was laughing at something which Haseena told her. What the heck?
They glared at them from afar. Seems like Shivani felt someone's heated gaze, so she looked up. When their eyes met Shivani smiled at her which she didn't returned. Then she told something to Haseena and Haseena turned towards her. She waved at her, asking to come over.

"Uh, unse jealous hone ki jarurat nehi hain Karishma, wo Shivani hain, Haseena ne bataya nehi?" Naina whispered. 'Oh!'
"Ek min, main jealous nehi ho rahi thi? main kiu jealous houngi bhala? bilkul nehi."
"Ha ha, hum sab jante hain." Ignoring her, Karishma went towards buffet again to make her plate full, before heading towards Haseena.

Three people were sitting on the table. Two of them were talking about random stuffs and one was busy with her food.
"Waise ap dono mile kaise?"
Haseena replied, "Park mein mile the."
"woh? love at first sight?"
Both look at each other, "Ha.. uhh."
Haseena eyed the orange juice, which was placed between her and Karishma. When she tried to get a hand on it, Karishma snatched it quickly. Haseena scratched the nape of her neck, tries look anywhere but her, pretended to be innocent. "tum apna juice leke aao. ye mera hai."
"hum! hum juice nehi le rahe the.. hum apka juice kiu lenge bhala?"
"Accha! apna haat mere juice k samne laake kya makkhi uda rahi thi?"
"Thik hain, nehi chahiye apka bakwas juice.. huh! hum khud leke aate hain." Haseena headed towards juice counter.
