At 7 in the evening in the Mallik mansion, the room buzzed with anticipation. Meera carefully assisted Karishma in donning a stunning baby pink tuxedo, a thoughtful gift from Haseena. Karishma's hair was elegantly tied in a loose bun, with a few strands framing her radiant face. A touch of light pink lipstick enhanced her natural beauty, and a delicate pearl watch adorned her wrist. Her entire ensemble, paired with heels that seemed to revel in the joy of being on Karishma's feet, transformed her into a vision of heavenly beauty....
"Are you feeling okay, Karishma?" Meera asked, her concern not just for Karishma's physical health but also mindful of the potential anxiety that could arise in a party filled with strangers after just regaining consciousness....
"Haseena has an excellent taste, doesn't she? I feel beautiful," Karishma remarked to Meera, her admiration for Haseena's choices overshadowing the question about her well-being. Yet, an unspoken guilt lingered in Karishma's heart, a realization of being unnecessarily rude to Haseena despite the care she was receiving from her as strangers....
"I've been unnecessarily rude to her, haven't I? She's doing so much for us, even though she barely knows us. And what have I done? Not even spoken to her properly? I'm in the wrong," Karishma confessed to Meera, reflecting on her interactions with Haseena....
"Hmm, ye toh hai , tumhe maafi maangni chahiye" Meera said to Karishma in Hindi, leaving Karishma completely shocked. She looked at Meera with an open mouth, and Meera responded with a playful wink.
"From where did you learn it?" Karishma asked Meera enthusiastically, surprised by the sudden use of a new language. It seemed almost impossible for them to learn a new language, especially one with gendered nouns....
"Haseena taught me. You know, she explains everything so beautifully," Meera said to Karishma, expressing her appreciation for Haseena's teaching skills and feeling proud to string together a simple sentence correctly...
Karishma asked Meera with a cute, sad pout, "Okay, I got everything, but what does that mean?" expressing her confusion over the Hindi sentence Meera had just said....
Meera explained to Karishma, "I meant that you should apologize to Haseena. We shouldn't doubt her intentions. You know, she was more concerned about you than me in the past days, sitting for hours beside you, blabbering something in Hindi to herself. She even fought with her mother for you, even with me," the last sentence spoken in a softer tone, unintentionally intensifying Karishma's sense of guilt for hurting Haseena....

Karishma lay asleep on Haseena's chest, her mouth slightly open, and her face radiating inner calmness. Haseena, overwhelmed with love, couldn't resist adoring her wife. With a gentle smile, she kissed Karishma's hair and cheeks, displaying a sense of joyful obsession for her cute, innocent bunny-like wife...
"Karishma?" Haseena called out gently, her fingers caressing Karishma's head to rouse her from sleep. Karishma, still in a daze, snuggled into Haseena, and a subtle tension filled the air as the heat between them began to rise....
"Hmm," Karishma murmured in response to Haseena, her eyes still closed as she tightened her grip around her, savoring the comfort of their embrace....
"Uthiye, Karishma... Shaam hone ko aayi hai," Haseena gently urged Karishma to wake up, her touch tender as she kissed the top of her wife's hair....
"Just 5 minutes," Karishma pleaded with Haseena. Like always, Haseena accepted the defeat and patiently waited for her wife to wake up....
Exactly after 5 minutes, Karishma opened her eyes and looked at Haseena, who was adoring her. She always felt blessed to have Haseena in her life, someone who took care of her in every possible way, who didn't leave a single chance to cherish her....
"Good evening, my world," said Karishma to Haseena as she pecked Haseena's lips with a smile and got up from her chest.
"Good evening, my cute little bunny," said Haseena, getting up with Karishma. She gave a long kiss on Karishma's left cheek. Karishma, looking at her bandaged hand and then at Haseena with cute puppy eyes, conveyed a silent plea for understanding and care....
Haseena just smiled at her wife's innocence and pulled her into her lap. "Is it paining a lot?" she asked with a concerned and loving tone, gently holding Karishma's hand in hers....
Karishma nodded with a pout, eliciting a chuckle from Haseena. It was a familiar sight - Karishma reverting to a childlike state whenever she was unwell or injured. Despite her attempts to be strong, vulnerability surfaced in front of Haseena....
Haseena, understanding Karishma's pain tolerance, suggested, "Okay, let's freshen up first. After that, we'll have dinner, and you can take your medicine." She could tell that if Karishma was expressing pain, it genuinely must have been quite uncomfortable for her...
As Karishma nodded, she got up from Haseena's lap and made her way to the washroom to freshen up...

In the beautifully decorated hall, Karishma and Meera descended the stairs, greeted by the sight of well-dressed individuals engaged in lively conversations, holding champagne glasses. Waiters gracefully moved through the crowd, serving the guests. Feeling a bit uneasy, Karishma began searching for Haseena in the bustling gathering....
Lost in deep contemplation, Karishma's guilt intensified with each passing moment. Meera's words resonated in her mind, and regret over hurting Haseena gnawed at her conscience. She cursed herself for causing distress to someone who had only sought to help her, feeling the weight of her actions on her heart....
"Hume dhoond rahi hai?" Haseena's voice reached Karishma from behind, dressed in a stunning peach tuxedo that perfectly complemented Karishma's attire. Haseena's dimpled smile added a radiant charm to the atmosphere, eliciting a smile from Karishma in return.
"You are looking beautiful," Karishma complimented Haseena, her eyes captivated by Haseena's beauty....
Haseena, amazed by the sudden change in Karishma's personality and behavior, felt genuinely happy. Her lips turned into a smile as she said, "Thank you so much, Karishma."...
"You are looking absolutely stunning," said Haseena to Karishma as she moved to Meera and hugged her. Karishma couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, realizing that she hadn't built a deeper bond with Haseena, and it was her own mistake. The boundaries she had set in fear of the wrong people had inadvertently hurt the one who truly cared....
"Uhm, Haseena?" Karishma said in a guilty tone, fidgeting with her words. Her eyes avoided Haseena's gaze, her palms becoming sweaty, and her trembling lips betrayed the anxiety and nervousness she felt...
"G haan?" Haseena responded with a smile. It was the first time Karishma was attempting to initiate a conversation. Haseena noticed Karishma's anxiety but decided to let her gather her thoughts and express herself in her own time....
"Uhm... Can we? I mean... I mean, can we talk after the party? Only... only if you are comfortable, of course!" Karishma stuttered on her words but managed to express her request. It was clear she wanted to apologize to Haseena, but at the same time, she was cautious not to repeat any mistakes and make Haseena feel uncomfortable in any way...
"I will wait for you in my room after the party... We can talk there comfortably," said Haseena with a smile as she placed her hand on Karishma's left forearm, rubbing it lightly to provide comfort. In her mind, Haseena expressed gratitude, "Shukar hai, kam se kam aaj toh unhone humse shanti se baat ki..."
