LET ME LOVE YOU

EMBRACING NEW BEGINNINGS

"Are you willing to be my real girlfriend, Karishma Singh?" She asked, pouring out all her sincerity.

Karishma, whose head was on her chest, raised her head to have a view of her. "I would love to, maddam sir" She answered. Karishma didn't know if Haseena knew how much she was yearning for this moment. "I would love to"

Haseena took time to soak up what Karishma responded, for a few seconds. Her right hand curled around Karishma's waist as she tugged her against herself. She'd suffered a lot these days and ended up being in the hospital. She fell for her which never wanted to, in the first place. But with time she realized that love was indeed the most beautiful and yet most painful thing. How much ever she says that she was trying to move on, or was accepting the truth, but she never did. It was not that easy as it seems to be. In a corner of heart there was always that hope, that someday a miracle like this would happen and they would end up being together, forever. Now that she has the woman she loves with her heart and soul, in her arms, so close to her, she doesn't want to miss even the slightest chance to show her how much she admires her.

Karishma was waiting for Haseena to say something but rather she was just gazing at her, lost in thoughts. Haseena had always been the person she despises the most and she never missed a chance to show that to her. Karishma was reminiscing their journey when Haseena first came to her asking to be her Fake-Girlfriend; their endless fights; messy life; illogical discussions; harsh words but in between a lot of hidden care; soft attraction and tender romance.

Haseena closed the distance between them and kissed her. She snaked her left hand to the back of Karishma's head as it disappeared into her hair. Her tongue was sliding gently and warmly against Karishma's lips, making her way inside. Haseena could feel her smile in between the kiss which made sure how much Karishma was loving, being in this moment. The kiss turned confident from her side as she was kissing her breathlessly. Karishma wasn't confused as she was the last time they kissed but was relieved. She was feeling Haseena's  moist and plump lips  on her lips and she knew she wanted more of it but they had to pull away.

The kiss was comforting.

"Please tell me that was real, Karishma Singh" Haseena says with tears in her eyes. She didn't want all this to be one of those beautiful dreams after all. This was so amazing to be true for her.

"Every bit of it, Maddam sir" Karishma said confidently, her heart was still pacing as the after effects of that mesmerizing kiss. She moved her hand to Haseena's face to wipe away those tears.

A few moments had passed but Karishma found Haseena still emotional and unimaginably happy. And she knew she'd found the right person who's gonna cherish every fiber of her being. Although she wasn't thinking about the outcome much from the time she'd realized her feelings for her, she had this lingering fear that maybe Haseena could not love her the same way she does.

"Aap please thoda rest kar lein..." She said to Haseena as she tried to untangle herself from her.

"Nahi, hum thik hain Karishma Singh," She held her wrist, "Aur hum abhi bahot saari baatein karna chaahte hain aapse" She pleaded. "But," She remembered something, "Aap kitni bhi besharam aur selfish kyu na hon, but I'm sure aap raat se soyi nahi hongi hamari fikr mein," Karishma glared at her, "So aap ghar jaakar kuch der rest kar lijiye"

"Pehli baat to yeh Maddam sir, ki dobara humko besharam aur selfish bola toh aapka muh tod denge, aur dusri baat yeh ki aapko bhi ab pata hai hum aapke liye kya feel karte hain, toh of course hum nahi soye hain aur humein bahot zor se neend bhi aa rahi hai, aur humein aapko chhodke nahi jaana hai isliye hum yahan sofe pe soyenge, samjhi aap!" Karishma chided her.

"Uffff!" Haseena placed her hand on her chest and said, "Ab humein pata hai ki yeh koi haseen khwaab nahi hai, Karishma Singh, yeh sab jo ho raha hai yeh sach hai...aur hum aapki yeh baatein, aapka gussa zindagi bhar jhelne ke liye taiyaar hain."
