Wedlock

Chapter 19

Karishma continued to hug Haseena tightly and with the time, her sobbing have converted into crying. Karishma was crying in Haseena's arms and Haseena let her cry as much as she want, but when Karishma didn't stop Haseena broke the hug, and looked into Karishma's eyes, "Don't worry Karishma, Ammi have understood the whole scene. Everything will be okay. Please Stop crying, How long you gonna cry like this"

Karishma wiped her tears and looked towards Haseena, "I know she understands about fake marriage but I'm feeling guilty. I broke auntie's trust. She considers me as her daughter, and in return I have kept everything hidden from her. I don't deserve the love auntie gave me, I don't deserve her love, and she don't deserve this"

Haseena hold Karishma's hand to assure her words, "Karishma, Please Relax and Calm down. Look when we got married, Ammi was not even in scene, I married you because you are Rey's sister and he asked me to do that, Ammi was not included in that. Later you met Ammi, got job at her store and eventually Ammi bring you home with her, in all these, I was not included and all of this is coincidence. You don't know that, she is my mother or Ammi don't know that I married you, and you are Rey's sister. All this happened coincidentally, and there is no need to tell Ammi about everything we did before without her knowledge, just because you happened to work for her and she brought you here, as obviously this marriage is not real, and now even in few days, divorce is going to happen. So don't blame yourself for anything. You were not at fault. Ammi will understand everything" Haseena then again took Karishma in a hug, to calm her down.

After few minutes, Karishma was now feeling calm in Haseena's embrace and Haseena decided to cheer her up, "If you want to bring Ammi's happiness back, then just get married. Ammi will arrange a big fat Indian wedding for you and Rohit"

Hearing Rohit's name from Haseena's mouth, Karishma broke the hug and pushed her, "Mind your own business. You don't need to worry about my marriage, that too with Rohit"

"Angry bird is back in action again", Haseena smiled, "Anyways, You gonna marry one day right, and Rohit is the perfect guy, then What's wrong in saying that"

"How many times I have to tell you that, Rohit is my best friend only, nothing else. He didn't even proposed me, before that" Karishma stopped talking, as she is going to spill the beans and going to tell Haseena about the whole conversation she had with Rohit about her love, in restaurant. Karishma looked at Haseena angrily and left for her room.

Haseena follows her and in her mind thought, "Why she didn't accept Rohit's proposal. There is no reason to say no to Rohit", Haseena was following Karishma and when she reached Karishma's bedroom, Karishma turned around and close the door on Haseena's face, and Haseena was left standing stunned outside the room.

Next morning, when Karishma came downstairs she saw that Noor was having breakfast alone, she wants to speak something, but Noor signalled her to not and left for her room. Karishma was disappointed and then Haseena come downstairs and saw her mother having her breakfast in her room, she goes to her room and ask her mother why she is having her breakfast in her room, but Noor didn't respond, Haseena asked like hundreds of questions, but got no response in return. Then she left to her gym leaving her mother and her answered questions alone.

The routine continues for several days, Noor was not talking to both Haseena and Karishma as she was really disappointed that both of them have kept a huge secret away from her. Karishma was affected the most in all of this. She was totally ignored by Noor Malik in store and in home. And the entire equation has changed in their lives from home to Gym to Store, mostly the trio spend their time in alone, and completely avoids any kind of face off

Several days passed like this, most of the times Karishma slept crying or hungry. She had lost her appetite. But what made Karishma's condition more worse was, the love she lost, the love of mother she has got from Noor. Noor have given her everything from job to home to mother's love. Karishma has found a family again, someone is there to look after her, cook for her, care for her, but that someone is now gone from her life. She is completely broken by now. And Haseena also kept her distance from Karishma these days, because she don't want to give her mother any false clue, that there is something between them.
