Aa Bi Jaa - Kareena

23

Haseena and Ami were still chatting. When Malaika walked in and asked, "Ami, aaj kya bana hai khane mein?"

Ami was about to respond when Haseena got up quickly and said , "Malaika, Karishma Singh ki pasand ki sari cheezen bana do."

Both Ami and Malaika looked at Haseena with surprise. She looked at their surprised faces and said "Woh aaj subah thoda mood off tha na, toh acha ho jayega."

Ami nodded and said, "Haan Malaika, tumhein toh waise bhi sab pasand na pasand pata hoti hai uski."

"G, Ami....." Malaika said and left from there.

Haseena turned towards her mother, who was still looking at her. Haseena said, "Ami, aaj subah humara mood theek nahi tha aur humne unka bhi kharab kar diya. Toh bas is liye......."

Ami smiled gently and replied, "Achi baat hai yeh, par tum itna kyun explain kar rahi ho?"

"Nahi, aisa kuch nahi." Haseena quickly responded.

"Agar kuch der aur hum yahan rahe, toh pata nahi kya kya karenge." Mentally, she thought. "Acha Ami, hum jaate hain, ap aaram karyay." She said and left without any other glance at her mother.

Haseena went to her room and sat down on the couch still lost in her thoughts. Her gaze fell on the photo frame of Karishma and herself, a picture Karishma had taken from the station a few days ago. "Ak humare jaane se aapki zindagi kaise ruk gayi, Karishma Singh," she mused with a smile, remembering her words when she had questioned Karishma state few days ago.

Now, everything was crystal clear. Haseena understood why her life had seemed to stop while everyone else was moving on. It was actually possible for Karishma to move on from the death of her senior, but it went deeper than that. That senior held a special place in her heart, more than anything else. She was in love with her Madam Sir. How can she move on from her so easily.

Looking at the bed, Haseena understood why Karishma had been laying where she used to lay, why she had been wearing her clothes recently, and why she kept looking at her photo frame before sleeping. People often do silly things when they're in love. Love makes them do such things. But In actual what seems silly to the world brings peace to those in who are in love.

Tears welled up in Haseena's eyes and began to fall that made her to realize she was crying. She wiped her eyes and got up, and said, "Aapne bohot kar liya, Karishma Singh. Ab humari baari. Now I wanted to do everything for you."

Haseena went towards the kitchen where Malaika was busy cooking. She turned towards her and asked, "Aap yahan?"

"Haan, dekh na, roz roz kaise akeli kaam karti hai tu, acha nahi lagta mujhe. Socha teri madad kar dungi aaj."

Malaika looked at her with suspicion. Urmila noticed this and asked, "Kya aise kya dekh rahi hai?"

"Nahi, ek mahina ho gaya, tab toh aisa koi khayal nahi aaya aapko, toh phir aaj kyun?" Malaika responded with a doubtful gaze.

Urmila sighed. "Karishma Singh ky Sath reh reh kar in ma bi police wali habits aa gye han." She thought to herself.

"Arey, main busy hoti ha na. Soch na, thaane mein kitne kaam hote hain. Teri Haseena madam ka role bahut mushkil hai." She made her way towards the counter and said.

"Aur wasy bi jab ankh khuly tabi sawayra."

Malaika smiled being convinced said, "theek ha ap yeh lijeyay aur kaat kar dejeyay." She forwarded her some vegetables to which haseena took it and moved to get work.

"Wasy kia bana rahi ha us ky liyay....." She asked.

"Paneer khofta...." She replied.

"Acha.....Wasy aur kia kia Pasand han unhen," haseena tried to ask about Karishma's favorite dishes.
