Is This Love !

47. Helplessness !

Haseena heard a loud slap from outside the cabin. Her expression changes into worry.
She turned to the door, but felt a hand grabbing her wrist. She looked back and saw Mrs. Malik, who was holding her with a smirk on her face.

"Good job, Haseena," she said sarcastically. "Tumne wahi Kiya jo hum chahte the. Tch tch tch lekin yeh kyaa apne sath-sath Karishma ki life bhi khatam kardi tumhe toh !" She laughs, "You have lost everything you ever cared about.

Haseena felt anger and disgust as she heard Mrs. Malik's words. She remembered that day when Mrs Malik called her.

Mrs Malik handed her an envelope and smiled cruelly.

Haseena shocked to see her and Karishma picture.

"Tumhare pass do raste hai haseena yaa toh jo ho raha hai hone do Karishma k sath yaa phir Mera kehna maano aur barbad kardo khud ko !!"

She leaned closer and whispered in Haseena's ear.

"Woh kyaa haina yeh photo viral ho chuke hai college mein kal ki subha Karishma aur tumhare liye bilkul bhi acchi nahi hone wali and you will have to take the blame for the cheating scandal that, You have to confess that you were the mastermind behind it, and that you used Karishma as your accomplice. You will have to ruin your reputation and your career."

She pulled back and looked at Haseena with a twisted smile.

"Umm soch lo soch lo aaj ki Puri raat hai tum, tumhari Karishma ya tumhari family!!"

Haseena felt like she was in a nightmare. She had to choose between the two most important things in her life. She had to choose between Karishma and her family.

Haseena pulled her hand away from Mrs. Malik's grip, and glared at her with contempt.

Haseena: Aap jaisi gatiya aur giri huyi aurat hume aaj tak nahi dekhi, insaan tak nahi hai aap toh !!

Haseena turned away from Mrs. Malik and walked out of the cabin, ignoring her taunts and curses. As Haseena stepped out of the cabin and saw a heartbreaking sight. Karishma was in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, as pji held her hand firmly and dragged her away. Her mother was shouting at her, calling her names and cursing her fate. Her uncle was also standing there, glaring at Karishma with a look of anger and disgust.

She watched helplessly as Karishma's friends Mishri and Santu tried to intervene. They pleaded Pushpa ji and her uncle to stop, to calm down, to listen. They tried to explain that Karishma and Haseena were in love, that they deserves nothing but happiness.

As karishma said something, Pushpa ji was about to slap Karishma again, but Haseena came between them and stopped her. She held Pushpa's hand and pushed it away, trying to protect Karishma.

Pushpa looked at Haseena with a look of anger and contempt. She snatched her hand back and pointed at her with a finger.

Pji: Hath bhi nahi lagana hume !!
Aur hum apni beti se baat kar rahe hai aap due hi rahiye in sub se.

Haseena:(in low voice) please pushpa jii ek baat shant se hamari baat toh suniye.

Pji: baat sune !? Aapki !? Bharosha kiya tha aap par aur (looks at Karishma then haseena) aur dekhiye kyaa kiya hai aap dono ne !!(she joined her hands) please aap bus dur rahiye hamari beti se meharbani hogi aapki !

Haseena felt hurt as she heard Pushpa's words. She knew that Pushpa was Karishma's mother, and that she had the right to be concerned about her. But she also knew that Pushpa was wrong, and that she had no right to judge her or Karishma.

Haseena looked at Karishma, who was standing behind her, crying silently. She saw the fear and pain in her eyes.

Haseena turned back to Pushpa, and spoke with a calm and firm voice.

"Dekhiye pushpa jii hume mante hai woh beti hai aapki, aapka phela hak hai un par lekin please ek baar hume, hamare rishte ko samajhne ki koshish kijiye please pushpajii.

Pushpa jii: hume kuch nahi sunna nahi hi samajhna hai aap hume aur hamari beti ko akela chor dijiye bas !!

She held Karishma's hand and dragged her outside the building, ignoring her protests and pleased.

Haseena looked at Karishma with a look of helplessness and despair. She felt powerless, hopeless, useless. She had failed to protect Karishma, to save Karishma, to keep Karishma to save their relationship. She had lost the most precious thing in her life, the most beautiful thing in her life, the only thing in her life.

Karishma turned back and looked at Haseena with tearful eyes. She saw the love and pain in her eyes, the same pain she felt the in her heart. She wanted to stay with Haseena, to live with Haseena. She wanted to tell her mother to stop, to let her go, to understand.

But she couldn't do any of that. She was too scared, too hurt, too broken. She knew that her mother wouldn't listen, wouldn't relent, wouldn't care. She knew that Haseena couldn't fight also, against their fate, against this cruel world, again her own mother. She knew that they had no chance, no future, no hope.

A long tear escape from haseena eye as she saw Karishma's retreating figure. She felt soul left her.

Her whole world shatter as she saw Karishma being torn away from her by her mother. She screamed her name, but it was useless. Her mother didn't care about their love. She wanted to fight for Karishma, to protect her, to hold her. But she was too scared, too helpless. Feeling a sharp pain in her chest, as if someone had stabbed her heart many times. She fell to the ground, crying hysterically.

"Hum haar gaye....'

Mishri and Santu immediately rushed to her seeing her in such a terrible state made their heart sank. They wrapped their arms around her, trying to comfort her. They knew how much she loved Karishma, and how much Karishma loved her back. They had witnessed their beautiful relationship.
