I too want a love story - KarEena

2(13). Like Ghosts

Karishma walked towards her wardrobe, her bathrobe already turned cold and it wouldn't take much time to get sick if she lay around in it. As she was about to enter the bathroom with her clothes, someone pulled her through her waist and shut her mouth with another hand muffling her shouts.

Karishma wriggled as the intruder lifted her off the ground, her mind running wild in panic as she threw her arms around.

"Shh!" the intruder whispered in her ear; Karishma's blood went cold as she came to a still, her heart thudding widely, she clenched her jaw tightly and jabbed her elbow into the intruder's ribs.

"Ah!" the intruder yelped in pain leaving her, "what the fu...!" the intruder's curse was cut short as Karishma held her hand against the intruder's mouth.

"You have a son! Watch your language, Haseena!" Karishma glared at her

"You jabbed me and talking about my language!" Haseena removed Karishma's hand and leaned over clenching her stomach just below her rib cage as excruciating pain coursed through her being

"What are you doing here?" Karishma asked still glaring at her but which softened by now

"I..." Haseena's voice tremored, she staggered to the bed and sat taking a deep breath, she looked at Karishma with teary eyes, "just gimme a minute" she managed to say

Karishma panicked seeing tears in Haseena's eyes, "are you okay?" she walked up to her and sat on her knees

Haseena just nodded. Karishma slowly lifted Haseena's t-shirt a move which made Haseena break into a cold sweat, "I am fine" Haseena tried to stop Karishma

Karishma glared at her and moved her t-shirt a little, she gasped seeing a bad bruise which was now dark blue and purple in colour, "I am so sorry" Karishma mumbled with tears in her eyes

"I am fine, Mi amor" Haseena cupped her face and placed a soothing kiss on her forehead

Karishma sniffed standing up, she brought first aid, "what happened?" she asked applying the ointment

Haseena flinched as the cold ointment touched her skin, she started to feel better and was adamant that it was Karishma's soft touches that were working as magic rather than the ointment, "as we confronted them, they tried to escape and a fight broke" Haseena sighed visibly relaxed after being with Karishma

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Karishma asked, Haseena shook her head, nodding Karishma went to wash her hands and change her clothes, Haseena was standing at the bookcase looking at Arshad's pictures when Karishma came out.

"He is so cute; he looks like you a lot" Haseena smiled caressing his face

"Nah! He takes after his Ammi" Karishma smiled but her smile vanished soon, "you should take care of yourself Madam sir, you have a son and a family which loves you a lot"

"Okay" Haseena whispered, "you really have to ruin my mood with the Madam sir" she murmured rolling her eyes

"What?" Karishma frowned

"Nothing"

"And now tell me what the hell were you thinking coming from the window," Karishma glared.

Haseena gulped nervously "wo... hum, I mean wo"

"Haseena!" Karishma gritted her teeth

Haseena closed her eyes, "I wanted to do that since the day you brought me into your room, but before I got the chance we moved in together, so, today I took my chances. What I didn't expect is you going all Bruce Lee on me!" Haseena opened her left eye and saw Karishma staring at her
