LET ME LOVE YOU

PROMISE BREWED IN LOVE

Karishma Singh was standing in front of Arham Khan who was inside the cell of Mahila Police Thana. Cheetah was standing near the bars.

"Main yeh aakhiri baar bol raha hoon, I did not know anything," He yelled. The next moment, a hard slap landed on his face.

"Saare saboot tumhare khilaaf hain," She slapped him again, "Tumhare jaise criminals sirf apne baare mein sochte hain" She unbuckled her belt and rolled it over her palm.

"Santu roko inhe..." Pushpa ji said worriedly.

"Aap rokiye, aapki sunti hain na" Santosh said taking a step backward, scared of her.

"6 mahine pehle tumhare plant ke saare employees ne apne bacchon ko Liberty School se kyu nikaala tha? Kyuki unhe pata tha ki un bacchon ko kitna khatra hai '' Karishma yelled showing her index finger angrily, "And you've increased the insurance policy of this plant, which is the exact same amount you're offering to those parents? And thrice the amount you have in any other plant. You knew everything from the start, You knew the plant was toxic, Arham Khan! Bloody accept it damn it!"

Fright and worry mixed inside him and he screamed in a panicked tone, "haaan!!" He took a deep breath and then added, "I got to know this a few months after the plant was open. Humne precautions liye, par nahi hua... isliye humne use khula rehne dia..."

Karishma's blood boiled after hearing him confessing with a tinge of guilt. She tightened her fist and her knuckles turned white. The Next moment she aired her punch towards him but her fist stop in air as she heard Haseena's stern voice.
"Karishma Singh, leave him. That's an order!"

Karishma glared at Pushpa Singh, who had dialled Haseena's number and put the phone on speaker. She took a deep sigh to subside her anger. "Cheetey confession record ho gaya na?" She asked.

Cheetah, scared of her angry tone, answered, "Ji madam"

Karishma pushed the bar open and stormed off the station in frustration.

"Thankyou, Pushpa Ji, hume call karne ke liye" Haseena said on the call.

"Thankyou to humein aapko bolna chaahiye maddam sir, aapne Karishma madam ko rok liya. Itne gusse mein gayin hain wo yahan se" Pushpa ji said with relief and worry at the same time.

"Arrey Pushpa Ji, aap Karishma madam ki tension mat lijiye, Maddam sir mana lengi unhe. Hai na maddam sir?" Santosh chirped in with excitement in her tone.

Haseena was flushed by her words. They had been the victims of teasing ever since they'd announced their fake relationship. Although they were annoyed in the beginning, they later got accustomed to this. But now, as their relationship is fully and finally real, Haseena is loving these teasing sessions. She loves it when someone takes Karishma's name in front of her, and she turns all red. And why not? She is head over heels in love after all.

"Hum rakhte hain, aap log station ka dhyan rakhiye ga aur Madam... humara matlab hai Karishma Singh aayein toh unke gusse se bach kar rahiye ga" Haseena spoke to them.

"Ehhmm" Pushpa Ji fake coughed, "Bilkul maddam sir, aapki madam se bach ke rahenge hum... aur dhyaan rakhenge aapki madam ka"

"Jai hind maddam sir" Santosh said with a cheerful chuckle at last.

"Jai Hind"

Karishma Singh was sitting on the tea stall, which was on the other street near the station. However good this tea might be, Badnam's zeher hits differently. She was very infuriated as Haseena interfered in her case despite being asked not to. "Yeh maddam sir, khud ko kaa samjhati hain? Jab dekho senior hone ka rob jhaadti rehti hain hum pe!" She took a sip of tea with a grumpy face.
