Wedlock

Chapter 15

When Haseena came back, Noor was already sleeping. She goes inside the room and sat on sofa with her head hung low, "I don't know how I'll go through it again. Karishma has broken every wall that I have built around my heart, and when she is settled there, it's time for her to leave."

Haseena didn't slept peacefully that night, she never knows how she fall in love with Karishma. From just her friend's sister to her heart ruler, home ruler, gym ruler and store ruler, she don't know how Karishma made such progress.

Next morning Karishma as usual brings breakfast for Haseena. Three of them are chatting, when suddenly Noor Malik looks at Haseena, "Yesterday my friend from Manchester called, his son is in Navy, and is unmarried, how about giving him a chance"

"What chance Ammi, what are you talking about" Haseena answered.

"I'm talking about your marriage. For how long you will stay like this. Your friend Maria, is also married, you both used to do everything together, then how come she is married before you. Reyansh also had a baby now. Don't you want to settle down like your friends"

"Ammi for million of times, I have told you that I don't want to get married. Then why you keep repeating the same question, when you know my answer. And I am already settled in my life. This marriage not gonna change anything" Haseena replied.

"I'll keep asking you until you get agree. Don't you want to fulfill your mother wish. I don't know why you are so stubborn, and what's your problem in getting married" Noor talked loudly.

"I'm never going to get married, and if you ask me one more time, then I'll leave your house and your work. And you know that, I'm very much capable of fulfilling my words. For God sake, let me live freely" Haseena answered rudely, and almost kicked the table in front of her and left the room. She sat in her car and drove away.

Noor was stunned at her daughter's behaviour and so Karishma. Karishma came to Noor hold her by her shoulders, "What happened to her she has never behaved like this before " Noor told Karishma.

"Auntie, don't worry. Haseena is just exhausted. She has been really tense past few days, plus the responsibility of work is also on her solely. Better ignore this marriage discussion for few days" Karishma suggested.

"You are right, but still I have to ask her for this behaviour" Noor told to which Karishma agreed.

Karishma was also worried about Haseena's behaviour, because she was absolutely fine till last night then what happened suddenly. "There is something, Haseena is keeping in her heart that is affecting this. Auntie always talk to her about marriage but she never reacted like this. I need to talk to her" Karishma thought.

In evening Karishma came to home from store, and found Haseena was sitting on the stairs outside the house. "Haseena, it's cold here come inside the house. I don't want one more person in hospital" Karishma pulled Haseena by her arm and heads inside the house. Haseena without speaking a single word allowed Karishma to take her, wherever she wants. Karishma made Haseena sit on the sofa in living room and sat besides her.

"Haseena, what happened. Why are you acting like this and even talk to Auntie in such rude manner. What happened suddenly. Why are you sitting outside like this" Karishma inquired, but Haseena didn't answer anything and kept her silence. Karishma take Haseena's hand from her lap and put it in her two hands, "Sometimes it's better to share then to keeping it in your heart"

The words and Karishma's trusting eyes are indicating Haseena to open her heart out, "What do you want to know"

"Why you behaved so rudely with auntie" Karishma asked.

"Ammi always talks about marriage when I have told her millions of time that, I don't want to get married. She is my mother why she can't understand my feelings" Haseena said in one go, letting out everything in her heart.
