Next day , haseena came back from her work and opened the door , the moment she entered, the aroma of freshly brewing coffee activated her tired happy hormones but that was short lived as what she saw in front of her eyes made her angry....the sight of karishma bustling around catches her attention immediately.

Karishma's hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail, a few strands escaping to frame her face, which was flushed with effort, her hands deftly kneading dough on the marble countertop........Ammi was sitting at the dining table, her sharp eyes observing karishma's every move while relishing the freshly made coffee.

She watches her as karishma moves between the kitchen and the living room, her forehead glistening with sweat, but her expression serene and focused.

A flash of anger flared in haseena's eyes as she takes in the scene. She purposely banged her hand on the door to grab her mother's attention and was successful in doing so.

Are haseena Tu aa gayi?.... Ammi asked with smile.

Ye kya ho rha hai Ammi?..... Haseena asked controlling her anger.

Ammi looked at her, surprised by her tone., she replied sternly.....haseena , calm down, karishma is just helping me with the housework.

Helping? It looks like she's doing everything.... Haseena' frustration was evident from her tone.

Karishma wipes her hands on a towel and with a reassuring smile, she forwarded a glass of water saying......Haseena aap pehle ye lijiye pani pi lijiye.

Nhi chahiye mujhe pani, aap ye bataiye ki ye sab kyun kar rhi hain aap? ...... Haseena said softening her tone as she looked into karishma's eyes and cupped her cheek with love.

It's ok haseena, I was just helping Aunty.....karishma tried Pacifying holding haseena's hand.

Haseena shakes her head in negation and turned her head towards her Ammi again saying.... Is this how you judge someone's worth, Ammi? By how well they do household chores? That's not fair to karishma.

Ammi straightened her posture and said with a defensive expression .,....haseena , it's important to know that karishma can handle responsibilities...She needs to prove she can be a good partner.

Haseena's jaw tightened on Ammi's reasoning, she yelled loudly.....Prove? By doing chores that a servant could do? Karishma's worth is not measured by how well she can clean or cook. She's an amazing person, with or without these tasks. Her worth and commitment to me aren't something she needs to prove through housework.

Karishma steped forward, placing a gentle hand on haseena's arm as she said.....haseena, it's okay, I wanted to do this.

Ammi takes a deep breath and in an angry tone replies.....have you lost your basic sense haseena ? Why are you behaving like a love sick lawyer

Ammi!..haseena remarked.

What Ammi?.... Ammi asked in anger and then said calming her tone.....don't you know these are basic life activities , it's important to know that karishma can handle this or not. These are not just tasks for servants ,they are essential skills for running a household. Everyone should know how to take care of themselves and their home. Cooking and cleaning are part of life.

Karishma helds haseena's hands tighter trying to calm her down.... Haseena please...she said knowing where the conversation is going....... Haseena looks at karishma with all the love in her eyes and says... You shouldn't have to, karishma. I want to marry you for who you are, not for how well you can clean a house.
