Aa Bi Jaa - Kareena

49

Next morning.....

As some random voice made Haseena stirred in her sleep she instinctively reaching for the warmth that should have been against her. But the space beside her was empty. Her eyes flew open, heart skipping a beat as she looked around, only to find Karishma sitting in front of her, watching her with a soft smile. 

"Thank God… Humein laga aap chali gayi." Relief flooded through Haseena, and she let out a breath.

Karishma shook her head, shifting closer to her. "Aise kaise jaate? Aapse mile bina?"

"Ap manti nae han par hum ap ki bohat baten manty han." She sat down beside Haseena. Then, with a small gesture, she pointed towards the table. 

Haseena followed her gaze and widen her eyes. There, neatly arranged, was tray of breakfast. 

"Aap pakri gayi. Bata rahe hain hum ap ko, Malaika Didi ke pait mein koi baat nahi rehti! Woh Ami ko har haal mein bata den gi!" 

Karishma chuckled and took Haseena’s hand, squeezing it gently. "Kya ho ga? Aap kab se itne jaldi reactions dene lagi hain?" She shook her head, "Kisi ko nahi pata. Hum bohot sawere uthe thay, tab woh dono nahi uthe thay. Kitchen gaye aur breakfast bana diya." 

Haseena exhaled in relief. "Kya zaroorat thi is ki....?" 

A small frown tugged at Karishma’s lips. "Ek yahi cheez hai jo hum karna jaante hain. Aur aap hamesha kehti hain kyun? Humein accha lagta hai, aur kiyun." 

"Sorry ab nae bolen gay," she murmured, squeezing Karishma’s hand before lifting it to her lips, placing a soft kiss on it. 

Karishma smiled and gently pulled away. "Ab jayein, fresh ho kar aayen. Phir kha lijiye ga. Hum jaate hain." 

"Aap nahi karengi?"

Karishma stood up,. "Tab tak sab uth jayenge na. Toh ab jaana chahiye." 

Haseena’s face fell slightly. Karishma noticed and sighed, "Ab aise udaas mat hoyein.. sham ma milte han na hum ap say" 

"Sham ma kiyun, abi ap ja kar ready hun hum aaty han...."

"Nae, kab tak humen pick and drop dayan gi.... please mana mat kijeyay ga aaj nae, hum khud chale jayan gay ap ki tabiyat theek nae ha sheede thane jayay...."

Haseena sighed, nodding reluctantly. "Theek hai. Chaliye bahir tak tou chhod kar aate hain aapko." 

Karishma stepped closer, placing her hands on Haseena’s shoulders with a small smirk. "Hum khud chale jayenge. Aap breakfast karte karte sochiye." 

"Kis baare mein? Kya sochna hai?" 

Karishma bit her lip, "Yahi ke kitchen ka jo haal hua hai, woh kaise hua hai. Iska jawab toh aapko hi dena hai na." 

"Aap nay....."  Haseena’s eyes widened.

Before she could say another word, Karishma leaned forward, pressing a quick kiss to her cheek. "Best of luck," she whispered before slipping away, leaving Haseena standing there helpless.

Haseena exhaled softly, running a hand through her hair as she muttered to herself, "Phele kabhi kyun nahi dekha humne inhein is nazar se? Kitni cute hain yeh."

A small, amused smile tugged at her lips before it landed on the breakfast waiting on table.

"Chalo, Haseena… ab Malaika Didi ke sawaalon ke jawaab socho." She sighed, knowing exactly what was coming next.

Bracing herself for the interrogation, she stretched before making her way toward the washroom, preparing for the morning ahead.
