Exploring Connections

Haseena gazed at the lady in disbelief, realizing She had overlooked the budding closeness between her mother and Karishma. She was surprised by her mother's acceptance of someone addressing her by her first name, also the radiant happiness on her mother's face with it.

Despite successfully concealing her inner feelings behind a composed face, the latter's heart swelled with happiness at witnessing such heartwarming scene. Unbeknownst to her, She couldn't help but cherish the sight of the person She was unknowingly falling for connecting with the people who were her entire universe.

She replied, "Chalo achha hai.. Jaldi khana khatam karte hai phir nikalte hai..". Karishma nodded her head in yes and both emerged in their meal along with having a familial conversation with the older couple.

As Haseena finished her meal first, she caught her father's eye and subtly signaled him with a meaningful glance, a silent reminder of their conversation from the previous night. Mr. Malik, understanding her message, blinked back, reassuring her that the task had been completed and everything was proceeding according to their plan.

As they finished their breakfast, Karishma and Haseena sought the blessings of the lovely couple before setting off for their day out. Karishma made her way towards the bossy bike the owner of it calls dhanno for god knows what reason, reaching for the helmet to put it on.

However, to her surprise, she found herself alone, with the other rider nowhere in sight. Puzzled, she searched around and discovered her companion sitting inside a classic army green Thar parked near the main exit of the mansion, ready for the adventure ahead.

Haseena fixed the sunglasses on her eyes looking all excited and classy She asked, "Chalein Ms Singh?".

Karishma was truly taken aback by the sight before her. The synchronicity between her beloved car and the person sitting inside seemed almost surreal, mesmerizing her senses. With her mouth still slightly agape in astonishment, She approached the lady and couldn't help but ask, her voice tinged with awe, "Aapko kaise pata yai hamari favorite car hai?".

Haseena removed her glasses with an unexpected surprise, She asked, "Waitttt!! aapko bhiii Thar pasand hai?!!!". The other one nodded multiple times as both shared a look of surprise and happiness.

Unable to contain her  excitement any longer, Karishma eagerly hopped into the car, taking the passenger seat beside Haseena. With a shared sense of anticipation, they embarked on their much awaited day out, ready to create unforgettable memories together.

As the journey began, Karishma found herself unaware of their destination, guided only by the tantalizing promise of a surprise from Haseena. With anticipation coursing through her veins, she patiently awaited the unveiling of the mystery, trusting Haseena's assurance that all would be revealed in due time.

Haseena meanwhile played some soothing music and handed her cellphone to Karishma, saying, "Lijiye.. aap bhi kuch sunaiye hame apni pasand ka..".

Haseena's curiosity about Karishma grew with each passing moment, fueling her desire to uncover every detail about her companion's preferences, likes and dislikes. It was a newfound urge that led her to explore realms of connection she had never before ventured into, enriching their bond in unexpected ways.

As Karishma held the phone, her gaze lingered on Haseena, who was focused on navigating through the traffic as they made their way onto main highway. After a moment of contemplation, Karishma selected a song that she often listened to during her moments of solitude, its lyrics evoking memories of Haseena. It was a choice that spoke volumes about the depth of their connection, even in the simple act of choosing a song.
