Hey Guys!!👋

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karishma sat astride her bike; her body poised with confidence as she settled into the seat. She straightened her back, her shoulders relaxed, and her feet rested comfortably on the pedals. She looked every bit the part of an experienced rider, with her hair tucked neatly under her helmet and her fingers gripping the handlebars with ease.

Despite the thrill of the ride ahead, Karishma's mind was filled with thoughts of Haseena. She couldn't help but steal a quick glance over her shoulder to check that Haseena was still there, settling herself behind Karishma. However, Karishma couldn't help but notice that Haseena was holding the passenger handle of the bike, while maintaining a distance between them. She felt a pang of disappointment in her heart, it was momentary and gone just like it arrived.

Haseena was looking at Karishma's back as she was busy thinking, " Pata nahi kyun hum itna weird behave kar rahe hai. Humme samaj nahi aa raha hai ki hum kaise behave kare. Yeh dating and all kitna naya aur alag hai. Hum toh aapko poore ride kas kar pakad na chahte hai. Yeh doori humme bilkul pasand nahi hai. Agar hamara bas chale toh abhi ke abhi aapse ekdum lipat jaaye, par fir lagta hai ki kahin zyada na ho jaye. Uff!"

(I don't know why I am behaving so weird. I can't seem to grasp how I should behave. Dating all is so new and different. I want to hold you the entire ride. I don't like this distance between us. If I could do as I wished, then I would hold you extremely tight leaving no gaps between us, but then I get worried that will be too much. oh god!)

"Haseena aap humme pakad sakti hai. Aap janti hai ki hum kitni tez bike chalate hain, aap pehli baar nahi baith rahi hai. Fir aap kahengi ki humne aapko gira diya." Karishma says and chuckles.

(Haseena, you can hold me. You know how fast I ride the bike; this isn't your first time. Then you will blame me if you fall.)

"Inhone hamare mann ki baat sunli kya?", Haseena eyes widens but then she thinks that's not possible and relaxes herself. She slowly moves her hands forward to wrap them around Karishma.

(Did she hear what I was thinking about?)

Karishma's heart skippes a beat as she felt Haseena's hands slide around her waist, holding her close. She could feel Haseena's warmth on her back, and she took a deep breath, feeling a sense of contentment wash over her. With Haseena behind her, she felt safe and protected, as if nothing could harm her.

As she revved the engine and took off down the road, Karishma couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline. The wind rushed through her hair, and she leaned into the turns, feeling the thrill of the ride coursing through her veins. It was as if she and Haseena were flying together, free from the worries and cares of the world.

During the whole ride Haseena rested her head on Karishma's back listening to her heartbeat and vibrations that passed every time Karishma talked. It was a soothing lullaby. Haseena never wanted this ride to end. The entire ride was silent apart from the few times when Karishma wanted to make sure that Haseena was comfortable sitting behind her. Haseena was happy seeing this side of Karishma. It is not like Karishma never showed concern before. Karishma is a very caring and kind person. But today was different somehow, Haseena couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but it just made her feel special.

"Haseena" Karishma says.

"Haseena!" a bit louder this time.

Haseena had heard her before, but she pretends not to hear her in order to squeeze in a few extra seconds. Haseena got off the bike and stood there looking at Karishma. She was not ready to let Karishma go. But reluctantly she says " Acha toh ab hum chalte hain." While casting her eyes down.
