Nadaan Ishq - KarEena

Chapter 104

Haseena seemed to be lost after their conversation while caressing Aadya's hair, struggling with her emotions.

Karishma understood her situation and spoke in a low voice, after she found Aadya in deep slumber "Tweety, Aap bhi so jayiye na, kyun guzri hui baaton ko yaad kar ke pareshan hoti hain aap."

Haseena removed her hand from Karishma's hold and turned to the other side, hiding her face with the duvet and said in a dejected tone "Aap nahi samjhengi. In fact koi nahi samjhega."

Karishma got up from her side and walked towards the other side of the bed. She kneeled down near haseena's side and asked in a firm tone, while pulling the duvet from her face "Koi na samjhe toh problem nahi hai lekin hum bhi nahi samjhenge, aisa kyu lagta hai aapko?"

Haseena replied in an irked tone, again covering her face "Kyuki aap humesha ye kehti hain ki hum overthink kar rahe hain. Ab yeh bhala koi hamare haath me to nahi hai."

Karishma asked again in confusion "Humne kab kaha aisa?"

Haseena peeped out of the blanket and said with a pouted face and a crying tone "Kaha nahi hai par kehna toh chahti hongi na!"

Karishma couldn't control her smile and chuckled at her childishness. Haseena started to glare at her sharply with a red nose and teary eyes.

Karishma quickly shut up and replied with a calm smile "Humne ye bhi kab kaha aapse? Khud hi khayali khichdi paka ke khud hi kha leti hain aap!"

Haseena didn't reply but turned again to the other side grumpily, showing her back to Karishma again and spoke to herself in an irked tone "Han ab hamare jazbaat, pyaar, darr sab khichdi lag rahe hain inko."

Karishma got up with a giving up expression, adjusted herself beside her, keeping her hand around haseena's waist and rested her chin on haseena's shoulder from behind to look at her face.

Then spoke in a soft tone "Tweety, aap kahe aise naraz ho rahi hain..Humne toh kuch kaha hi nahi hai. Aap hi beeti baaton me ulajh kar khud ko aur humein pareshan kar rahi hain."

Haseena tried to get up with a jerk saying "Ab hum pareshan karne lage...", But her head hit Karishma's nose making her wince in pain, as she was leaning on her. Karishma instinctively kept her palm on her nose rubbing it due to pain.

Haseena quickly turned with a worried look, trying to have a look and said apologetically "Sorry, sorry..dikhayiye jyada lagi kya Rishu?"

Looking at tears in Karishma's eyes, her own eyes got teary and she started caressing her nose with an upset mind, while Karishma said in a teasing tone "Naak Tod di hamari aur puch rahi hain lagi kya, Kamal hain aap Tweety. Maarna hi tha toh kantaap maar leti, aise naak todne ki kya zaroorat thi."

Haseena replied in a sad tone "Galti se ho gaya na, sorry."

Karishma put her palm on the back of haseena's head and said caressing it a little "Aapko bhi lagi kya?"

Haseena nodded in no with a guilty face and said "Dekha hum humesha aapki takleefon ki wajah ban jate hain."

Karishma looked at her with a frown and said "Ab aap sach me overthink kar rahi hain."

Haseena sighed and said in a cracked tone, while shifting to a half-lying position on the bed, taking support of the headrest "Humein nahi pata Karishma, lekin jab bhi uss din ka zikra hota hai na toh aisi sab baatein hi hamare dimaag me aane lagti hain."

Karishma enveloped her arm around Haseena and rested her head on haseena's shoulder quietly listening to her wife.

Haseena held her closer tightly and continued in a shaking voice "Aapko pata us din humein ajeeb si bechaini ho rahi thi subah se. Humein pata hota toh hum apko jane hi nhi dete kabhi uss stupid se function me."

Haseena's voice choked while Karishma glanced at Haseena's gloomy face and said caressing her arm "Aapke ya hamare bus me thode hi hoti hain aisi cheezein."

Haseena asked looking at her with seriousness "Aapne ek baar bhi nahi socha hamare saamne aane se pehle. Aapko pata tha ki aapki Jaan bhi ja sakti hai, fir bhi aapne ek pal ke liye bhi khud ka khyal nahi kiya aur humein bacha liya. Hum to waise bhi mar hi.."

Karishma shut her mouth with her palm and glared at her with anger & replied sternly "Dekhiye hum aapse abhi jhagda nahi karna chahte. Toh aisa kehne ki himmat bhi mat kijiyega, na Aaj na kabhi aur.."

Looking at Haseena's poor face after getting scolded, Karishma took a deep breath and sat beside her holding her hand between her palms securely.

Then spoke in a soft loving tone "Haseena, hum jaante hain jo aap par beeti hogi woh koi nahi samjh sakta. Sach kahein to humein bhi laga ek pal ke liye ki ab bus waqt aa gya hamara!"

Haseena made an irked face and tried to free her hand, but Karishma quickly pulled her hand closer to her heart and said in a softer tone "Lekin, lekin..Wo jo dard humein goli lagne par bhi nahi hua na, usse kahin jyada dard toh ye soch kar mehsoos hua ki kahin aapko goli lag gayi toh...toh hum kya karenge."

Haseena looked at Karishma's eyes which got teary just talking about that possibility. Karishma closed her eyes briefly remembering the phone call, keeping some unwanted thoughts aside and spoke in a disappointed tone "Sach toh yeh hai ki aap nahi, hum hi har baar ban jaate hain aapki takleefon ki wajah. Un goliyon ko toh humein lagna hi chahiye tha, aakhir humse pyaar karne ki saza aapko kyun mile?"

Haseena replied in an irk yet concerned tone, caressing her knuckles "Kuch bhi bol rahi hain aap Rishu. Humein nahi karni ab iss baare me baat. Bus kijiye."

Karishma cupped her face, caressing her cheekbone with her thumb and said with a sincere tone "Hum aap par ek kharoch bhi bardasht nahi kar sakte Haseena. Aapko koi takleef hoti hai na toh hum baura jaate hain. Humara bus chalta toh hum dhadkan me chhupa lete aapko apni, taaki koi aanch kabhi na aaye aap tak."

Haseena hugged her tightly with a teary smile and Karishma pulled her closer saying in a comforting tone "Aap uss din ko yaad kar ke ek aansu bahati hain, hum sau baar mar jate hain. Aap kahe darti hain itna. Wo bura waqt tha jo beet chuka hai, hum aapko kabhi chhor kar nahi jaane wale. Toh uss khauf me jeene ki zarurat nahi hai aapko. Please hamare liye, khud ko takleef mat dijiye aur kuch mat sochiye."

After this much needed loving assurance from Karishma, Haseena felt like a burden was removed off her chest and she could only mumble emotionally  "I love you bahot jyada Karishma."

Karishma smiled and kissed her hair lovingly and replied teasingly, touching her nose "Hamari pyari si naak Tod kar pyaar jatane ka aapka style thoda Casual hai.."

Haseena chuckled and said hitting her back lightly "Pagal..!"

Karishma quickly replied in a flirting tone "Haan aapke peeche hi to pagal hue hain hum."

Haseena started to laugh at her remark and Karishma took a relief breath seeing her Tweety's bright smile again and started adoring her with a calm smile.
