Continued-

A loud laugh echoed in the Singh Mansion..yup, it was the bestfriends duo cracking another joke on their school days..

AS- yarr Neha..tum bohot acchi nakal utarti ho..(he said, still laughing)

Neha- haina? Special talent you see!(she winked, laughing back)

Meanwhile Haseena was helping Maa..since it was a day off at thana..but their laughs and level of comfort with each other ignited a different feeling in her heart.

"Haseena", her trance was broken by Maa's voice..

HM- ji Maa..

Maa- kya hua? Tu khoyi khoyi si lag rahi hai thodi..tabiyat toh theek haina beta?

HM- arre haan Maa..aap chinta mat kijiye..(she smiled assuringly)..waise, ek sawaal puchh sakte hain aapse?(hesitantly)

Maa- puch na..

HM- yeh Neha Anubhavji ki dost kaise bani?

Maa- arre woh Anu ke baba aur Neha ke papa ek hi office mein kaam karte the na..toh inka aana jana laga rehta tha..fir Neha ka parivaar yahaan shift hua toh woh Anu ke school mein bhi aa gayi..ussi ki classmate banke..toh dosti aur gehri ho gayi..

HM- ohh..

"Maa, Haseenaji", they heard Anubhav's voice..they went outside.

AS- aaplog baithiye na...kya kaam pe lag gayi dono..servants haina gharpar..

HM- arre woh saman samet rahe the..(she said, sitting beside him)

Maa- haan..

Neha- kaisi hain aap Maa?

Haseena's eyes grew wide hearing the word 'Maa' from her mouth. Isn't that a too close relation? She ignored this fact anyways..

Maa- Main theek hun beta..tu bata..

Neha- main badhiya..aur Anu se milke toh aur bhi badhiya..(she said smilingly, while Haseena fisted her palm hearing that in anger..moreover, Anubhav's smile irked her even more)...Oh Sorry, the most important, Anu ki wife se toh mera intro reh hi gaya..

Haseena gave a fake smile.

HM- humein bataya tha Anubhavji ne aapke baare mein..inhone nahi bataya hamare baare mein?

N- bataya tha..par mujhe durectly baat karni thi..janna tha kaun hai woh jisne iss dumbo se shaadi karne ke liye haan kar di..(she said with fake surprise)

Haseena chuckled but her smile dropped as Anubhav started tickling Neha..they both were more close than required..

N- Anuu..(laughing hysterically)...Anu bass..please..accha sorry..(he stopped)

AS- ab aayi na line pe..(smirked)

N- line pe? Abhi batati hun bacchu..(she took the charge if tickling, making him laugh hard)

AS- Sorry sorry..(he said laughing)

She stopped and they laughed..Haseena was clearly not liking Neha's presence..

AS- Haseenaji aapko pata hai..school mein agar koi iski nahi sunta tha toh yeh gudgudi karke usse manvati thi apni baat..(he said still laughing)

HM- Oh..lagta hai yeh bhool gaye hain ki school life khatm ho chuki hai inki..(murmured with a fake smile on)

N- kuch kaha?

HM- Nahi toh..waise, aap kab tak rahengi yahan?(AS looked at her)..matlab, aapke office ka kaam kitne dino ka hai?(she rephrased her sentence)

N- depends, but max ek week hai..kyu?

HM- asie hi..general knowledge..(smiled nervously)

AS-🤨

Neha smiled sensing something..

N-Anu, main ek week ke liye yahi reh loon? Woh kya haina, accomodation full ho chuka hai hotel ka..

Haseena grew worried..

HASEENA

Yahan hum isse nikalne ki firaaq mein hain aur yeh ek hafte yahin rehne ka soch rahi hai? Aur inke pyare mitr 'Anu' toh maanenge hi inki baat...
Hmphh..(she frowned)

AS- yeh bhi koi puchhne ki baat hai..bilkul reh sakti ho..(smiled) haina Maa?

Maa nodded with a smile

AS- Haseenaji..(HM looked at him)..aapko koi apatti toh nahi hai Neha ke yahan rehne se?

HM(in flow flow)- hai..

Everyone looked at her questioningly

HM- ma-matlab, humein kya hi problem hogi Anu..(AS looked at her surprisingly)..bhav..Anubhavji..hum aise aa rahe the..

She said tucking her hairstrand behind her ear...

N- Thanks Haseena..waise main tumhe Haseena bula sakti hoon na?

HM- bulana hi kyu hai..(murmured)

N- kya?

HM- humne kaha haan..bilkul..🙂

N- Cool then..Anu, please mera saman bhejwa do upar..tumhare bagal wala room khali haina?

AS- haan..tum jao, hath-muh dho lo..hum saman bhejwate hain...

Neha went upstairs..Maa went to her room..Anubhav was about to go, when Haseena held his wrist.

AS- Kuch karya tha Haseenaji?

HM- nahi..bas do sawaal puchne the..

AS- puchiye na..

HM- yeh Neha ke alawa apko koi Anu kehta hai?

He was surprised at her question..but replied anyways- Nahi..humne bataya na..pram sakhi hai hamari..aur param sakhi ek hi hoti hai..(he said smilingly, unknowingly fueling her jealousy)

HM- oh..aur ab dusra sawaal..aap humein Haseenaji kyu bulate hain?

AS- toh kya Madam Malik bulaye?(he said laughing)

But soon his laugh died seeing her no-nonsense face.

AS- hum-hum aapki izzat karte hain isiliye..

HM- woh hum jaante hain..bina 'ji' kahe bhi aap izzat karenge hamari..toh aajse Haseena hi kahiyega..samjhe?

AS- jaisa aap kahen..(he said with a cheely smile)

HM- kuch zyada nahi muskura rahe aap?

AS- arre woh itne varshon baad Neha se mile na..toh muskurahat chipak gayi hai hamare mukh pe..(he said with his ek kaan se dusre kaan wali smile)

She rolled her eyes and went in their room..

AS- Arre Haseenaji..Sorry..Haseena!(but she went)..inhe kya hogaya?
