The Hidden Past

"Kamal hai, aaj itne sal ho gaye lekin man hi nahi karta kabhi aapke bina aarti shuru karne ka!!", Sarala- A lady from the neighborhood of Haseena uttered while walking with her towards home from the ghat.

"Yai sab toh aapka pyar hai Sarala ji, asa kuch nahi hai! Bhagwan ki aaradhana sabse important hai kon aa raha hai kon nahi kya hi mayne rakhega!", Haseena replied and left towards her house after a bit chit chat.

As soon as She entered, She ran towards the dinning area and wrapped her arms tightly around her father's shoulder, "Good Morning Abbuu..".

"A very good morning Hassu..", Aman replied with a sweet smile. Noor came outside from the kitchen holding two plates, while servants carrying the rest.

Haseena hugged her mother too, almost making her spill the food in the plates She was holding, "Areh battmeez ladki, thoda dekhke jara!! Kya karti rehti hai..".

Haseena moved away raising her both hands in the air, "Ops! Maf kariye Ammi.. ham toh bas good morning kehne aaye the.. laiye aapke hath ka laziz khana laiye. Ham duty ke liye late ho rahe hai..".

Noor tried her best to control her frustration and replied, "Good morning busy madam.. Lekin aaj khana nahi milega!!".

"Kyu?!!", Haseena almost shouted shockingly. Noor just held her forehead in irritation and replied, "Ya allah! kya kare ham tera Hassu!! Koi kahega sheher ki jabaz afsar asiii hai?!! Khana yaha nahi milega se hamara matlab tha Pushpee ka phirse call aaya tha aaj, usne kaha nashte ke liye Haseena ko bhej dena... Toh ab aap yaha rukne se rahi haina?".

Haseena jumped in excitement knowing the taste of Pushpa's hand in order of any kind of food in the world. She retrieved her steps sheepishly and ran towards her bedroom to get ready for her duty so She can have that delicious food finally. She said, "I love you Ammiii...".

Noor just shook her head in disbelief while looking at her husband who was trying his best not to burst into laughter while sipping his morning tea.

In a while, Haseena wore her uniform with three shinny golden stars on it, and a name batch with her name printed on it, a baton which She always loves to play with and a cap.

She went downstairs and left after taking her parent's blessing like every day. After walking fee steps, She reached the Singh's villa.

(A/N: The scene is from few days after Haseena and Karishma met for the first time during holi... And now it's their second time they will meet... So you won't be confuse with the timeline..)

Haseena decided to directly go towards the dinning area knowing everyone would be there. As She was going through the hallway busy with her phone texting some details to her team.

A person appeared in front of her from the corner of stairs. It looked like the person was hiding at the spot for a while now to prank someone.

Haseena didn't even flinch and looked up from her phone towards the person. She shook her head in disbelief and replied, "Ham wapis aaye aap phirse koshish kariye, ham dar jayenge for sure!".

The person who was standing in her penguin pose, straighten herself and replied, "Nahi.. wo aapke liye nahi tha.... darsal wo ham.. Yai Shivanii... hamara matlab hai usse..".

Haseena finally burst out into laughter, after trying her best to hide it. She replied, "Lekin hamesha aapko ham hi kaise mil jate hai Miss Penguin...".

Karishma finally realized that the latter was just teasing her with her wittiness. She squeezed her nose and replied, "Ama kam karona apna..Yaha kyu aaye ho?".
