Matured Princess

"Pata nahi beti kiski najayaj aulad leke aayi hai!! Aur maa ko dekho..", Pushpa said as She stood straight infront of the pair smiling wickedly at them.

The crowd started gossiping and making fun of the lady again. Haseena meanwhile lost it the moment She heard the lady talking absurd about her daughter.

As if the only trigger point Haseena had left in her life and Pushpa somehow pushed that really hardly. She turned around walking towards Pushpa.

Pushpa stood straight, having no fear of the lady. As She knew Haseena would never do anything to her. But It turned out wrong the moment Haseena grabbed the lady by her throat tightly.

Haseena pressed it as the crowd moved away from her. Almost getting a deja vu of the same lioness they had seen in the past. The whole crowd just distance themselves from the angry lioness. While Pushpa started struggling to free herself from Haseena's tight grip.

"Chahe jo bolna tha hame bolna chahiye tha Ranisahiba!! Hamari beti ko bichme lane ki jarurt nahi thi!!! Bohot galat kar diya aapne!!", Haseena whispered in her deep scary voice.

Soon the guards of Pushpa Singh held Haseena and started removing her hand from Pushpa's throat. But they were failing miserably as Haseena's grip was really tight.

Pushpa meanwhile was loosing all her senses, having difficulty in breathing. She was constantly trying to escape the latter's grip.

"Haseena! Beta chor usse!!", Noor asked her daughter to leave the lady but Haseena didn't hear it at all!!

The guards then took out their guns and pointed it towards Haseena saying, "Haseena bibi choriye unhe! Nahitoh majburan hame goli chalani padegi!!".

Haseena heard it but didn't even care to answer them rather tightened her grip on the latter. The guards unlocked their guns and pointed it towards Haseena taking the aim. Due to the noise and crowd in front of the haweli, Shivani hurriedly came outside. The view was already shocking to her not knowing what really happened that awakened the old Haseena at this moment. She rushed forward to interrupt them.

The guards were about to begin the countdown but two person's similar words stopped them and Shivani at the same time,

"Ruk jaiye Malik Ji!!!! Please!!"

Rukhmani and Karishma said in unison coming from opposite side and stood near the angry latter.

Rukhmani's voice was enough to get Haseena in her senses as She left the old lady. Pushpa almost fall back struggling to breathe as Karishma held her in her arms.

Haseena meanwhile turned around towards her daughter and said, "Aapko yaha nahi hona chahiye princess! Yai jagah hamare liye nahi hai! ab aur ek pal ham aapko yaha nahi rakh sakte!."

Rukhmani held her mother's hand protectively and answered, "Ammi, aapko yu kisike samne hamare liye ladhne ki jarurt nahi hai! Aap hi kehti hai na ki buri bate aur bure logoko hamari zindagi se nikalna hai toh simply unhe dekhna sunna band kar dena chahiye. Apne aap khushiyan laut aati hai. Toh Ammi ab wo bat aap bhi samjhiye na".

Haseena bend down to her daughter's level trying to understand what her little reflection was trying to tell her, "Ham samjhe nahi princess?".

Rukhmani placed her palm on the latter's cheek and replied, "Ammi ham nahi jante yaha kya hua tha! Aapke sath kisne kya kiya hai! Lekin jo bura hai wo aapke ya hamare iss sheher ko chorne se achha nahi ban jayega aur nahi hamari zindagi se chala jayega! Kyuki Ammi aap waha bhi sukoon se nahi rehti hai hamne kitni bar aapko sambhala hai aapki neend mai! Ammi ham yahi rehke iss burai se ladh sakte hai iska wajud hamari zindagi se mita sakte hai! Aur aapne sikhaya hai Ammi uss hisab se toh yai burai hame dikhti bhi nahi kyuki ham dekhna hi nahi chahte  aur jabtak ham dekhna nahi chahenge koi kitna bhi bura ho hamara kuch nahi bigad sakta!".
