Wedlock

Chapter 17

After Haseena's answer, it was difficult for Carol to remain seated there, as she hates Karishma and now she was hating Karishma's new representative, Haseena also. Carol wants to send Karishma back from her life, she almost succeed in implementing her plan but Haseena come in between, she not only take Karishma with her, but also have taken her to better place. "I'm full now. I'll have dessert later" Carol said and left the dining table. Haseena wanted to punch her, but she can't do anything, as it's Karishma's order to not to say anything regarding Carol to Rey.

Rey and Haseena was discussing opening of the new restaurant, and was too immersed in their talks. Karishma was sitting beside Aarya, while Aansh was sleeping in room. "Can you please pass me the napkin" Karishma asked Aarya but before Aarya, Haseena took the napkin and passed it to Karishma, without breaking her conversation with Rey and even without looking at Karishma, her instinct told her to follow whatever comes out of Karishma mouth, like she has been doing it for years and like it was her duty. Aarya was observed this, "Look, haven't I told you before, you both completely act like a married couple"

Haseena who was too lost in getting information about the new restaurant from Rey, didn't noticed Aarya's words but Karishma did. Whatever is happening in past few days is affecting Karishma a lot. Her mind is constantly signaling her that there is something she is missing, but what she is missing, and why Haseena is suddenly all over her mind and why Aarya's words are effecting her. She was quite confused and now she have to swim in the DEPTH OF HEARTS, to find the answer for all. After some time Karishma reminded Haseena that they also have to leave for home and after saying Goodbye they left.

The car ride was silent than usual, no one was speaking anything. Even in traffic Karishma was silent, who usually talk anything to kill her boredom. After observing for few minutes Haseena finally broke the silence, "Why is Talking Tom silent today?" Haseena asked Karishma, to which Karishma didn't answer anything and continued her silence.

Haseena tap on Karishma's shoulder and asked again, "Why aren't you talking. What happened. Are you upset with anything?"

Karishma looked at Haseena, and told "It's third time"

"It's not third time", Haseena answered like she knows, what Karishma is talking

"What, it's not third time. Then, How many times bhabhi have said this" Karishma looked at Haseena with curiosity, as Karishma thought Haseena knows about her thoughts like always, but the least she don't know is, this time Haseena is not

"What? Aarya?" Haseena glanced at Karishma confusingly, "I'm talking about Carol's misbehavior with you. And what are you talking about? And what Aarya told to you for third time that have muted you like this?"

"Bhabhi told me that we have started to act like a married couple, for a third time" Karishma answered, and also now She is saddened as Haseena don't get her thoughts this time like always she does

Haseena didn't answered anything and sadness hover over her now, "Karishma is sad because Aarya called us a married couple. Here I was imagining her as my wife and living with her in my bedroom, and here she even don't like us to be addressed as married couple. How much wrong I was thinking about us together like that, when she don't even like our names to be called together"

Haseena then looked again towards Karishma and decided to cheer up her mood, she laughed and said, "Then what will she call you, when you always act like this with me. From wearing this wedding ring to always bossing around me. You always dance on my head in front of anyone. Even in public places you are always announcing me as your wife. You yourself give signals like we are married for real" Haseena spoke all this, that something will irk Karishma and she will start her usual banter with Haseena, but to her surprise Karishma kept her silence and lost in vast vortex of thoughts. She didn't answer anything or even looked at Haseena.
