HASEENA
"Tum yahan is waqt?" Anubhav asked as he opened the door of his house. He looked a little tired. One second, he's drunk?
"Tumne pii rakhi hai?" I asked, not angrily because he had already told me that he occasionally drinks at business parties, not to the extent of forgetting who he is or what he's doing. Just a little amount. Reacting before knowing his reasons isn't good for us.
"Haan..thodi si par pata hota tum aane wali ho toh nhi pite..!" He said with a smile. "Khair tum andar aao, aur abhi yahan aayi koi problem hai?" He asked, locking the door as I entered the house.
"Nhi, woh flight late ho gyi hai, aur woh khadus warden andar jaane nhi degi isliye hum yahan chale aaye," I said with a nervous smile. "par lagta hai ki hume hotel hi chale Jana chahiye tha...!" I muttered under my breath because I found us alone in his home.
"Accha kiya..ab tum jakar fresh ho jao tab tak hum kuch bana dete hai tumhare khane ke liye..!" He said.
"Nhi nhi kuch banane ki jaroorat nhi hai hum thik hai..!" I said because I didn't want him to get burned while cooking in this state.
"Don't worry meri jaan, itne nashe mein nhi hoon ki khana na bana sake dhang se..!" He said.
Did I say that loudly or does he know how to read minds?
"Tumhe kuch sunai Diya kya?"
"Tumne kuch kaha kya?" He asked in reply.
"Nhi toh..!" I replied nervously.
"Toh hume kuch sunai bhi nhi diya..!" He said with a smile.
"Hum change karke aate hai..!" I quickly walked to the guest room and changed into a comfy night dress when Anubhav entered the room with a bowl of noodles. I smiled and took the bowl from him as he seemed sleepy due to the effects of alcohol.
"Tum ab jakar so jao, hum bhi kha kar so Jayenge..!" I said with a smile, but he didn't listen to me. Instead, he made me sit on the bed with him and started feeding me.
"Accha hai?" He asked with a smile. I hummed, finding it neither exceptionally good nor bad. So, I ate the whole bowl of noodles and then drank some water before telling him to go to his room.
"Jao tum Anubhav, hum thik hai ab..!" I requested again, but he wasn't listening. Instead, he kissed my earlobes and temple.
"Nhi na...I want to stay with you..!" He whispered, kissing my earlobe. "Haan toh hum yahi hai.. please abhi yahan se jao, tum hosh mein nhi ho..!" I said, keeping my hand on his face, but he removed it.
"I love you..!" He whispered, and I felt his nose brushing against my cheek, which grew warm due to the proximity. "Jante hai Anubhav..!" I replied fumbling as his lips touched my cheek unexpectedly.
So, I pushed him angrily, leaving the bed, but he held my wrist and pulled me back onto the bed, making me fall on my back with a thud. Then, he leaned in to face me and gave me our first forehead kiss.
"Pata hai tum kitni pyaari ho..aur tumhari yeh aankhe.." he said, kissing my eyes, "jheel jaisi hai, Sundar aur gehri hai aur yeh teel.." I clutched the bedsheet as he leaned to kiss my mole, but he didn't. "Tumhare hotho ke paas aise hai jaise maano tumhari muskaan ka kala tika..!" He said softly, and I looked at him with confusion because I was puzzled.
I didn't know how to react in this situation. If he wasn't drunk, I would definitely blush at these compliments, but the situation was different. He was slightly intoxicated, I was a little afraid, and we were alone in his home.
Behak gaye toh? Yeh is halat mein sunega bhi ya nhi aur nhi suna toh? No, mujhe aana hi nhi chahiye tha, isse accha hotel mein rah leti ek raat ya warden ke pair pakad kar ro leti.
Instant regret flooded my mind. I had made bad decisions before, but this was the worst decision I had ever made.
"Kidhar kho gyi ho?" I heard him say, which snapped me out of my thoughts. I realized that he was nuzzling my neck, and my hands were tangled in his silky soft hair, as if my body was responding to him.
What? Noo! I can't do it, but why am I doing it? "Umm..Anu" I moaned softly as his lips touched the crook of my neck.
I closed my eyes, torn between conflicting emotions. Despite my confusion about whether I wanted it or not, my body responded to his every touch, causing me to melt under him like ice. The sudden urge to kiss him overwhelmed me, and finally, I opened my eyes.
"I love you.." He whispered tenderly, planting a kiss on my temple.
"Anubhav.." I murmured softly, feeling my breath grow heavier. He looked at me with questioning eyes. I shook my head, indicating that I didn't want it, because I couldn't bear to break my parents' trust. But maybe he didn't listen, as he kissed my cheeks again while his hand moved towards the hem of my t-shirt, making my breath heavier with anticipation. I closed my eyes in fear, but soon felt a weight on my stomach. It was heavier than his hand, and when I opened my eyes, I saw his head resting on my stomach, his eyes closed.
Relieved that he had fallen asleep, I gently lifted his head from my stomach, placed a pillow under it, and tiptoed out of the room. Rushing to his room, I climbed into bed and tried to push away the swirling thoughts in my mind.
Next morning, I opened my eyes and found Anubhav sitting beside me, which made me jerk off. I quickly got up, wrapping the sheet around me.
"Tum..yahan kya kar rahe ho?" I asked angrily, my tongue trembling with nerves.
"Tum so Rahi thi toh dekh raha tha...!" He said, smiling. "Par tum aise humse ghabra kyu Rahi ho?" He asked.
"Yeh tum puchh rahe ho?" I taunted, and he nodded. "Tumhe yaad hai tumne kal raat kya kya Kiya hai?" I asked, tauntingly.
"Haan..bola hai na hum utna drink nhi karte ki kya Kiya yeh bhool jaye..!" He said with a smile, making my brows arch at him suspiciously.
"toh phir yeh batao bina hamare consent ke kyu kiya yeh sab?" I asked angrily.
"What? Consent? Haseena, I asked you before moving ahead aur tumne haan kaha tha so that's why I took the next step. But when I saw you uncomfortable when my hand reached down, I stopped...!" He said, making me confused because I didn't remember that he asked for it.
Iska Nasha mujhe chadh gya tha kya?
"Kab puchha tha?" I asked with raised brows. "Jab tumne umm..Anu kiya tha..!" He replied. Ouu..lagta hai main jyada hi zoned out ho gyi thi us waqt, sochte sochte ise haan bol diya hoga par one second...I later said no na toh why he kissed my cheeks and moved his hand down to lift my t-shirt.
"Maine baad mein mundi hila kar rokne ki koshish bhi ki thi tab kyu nhi ruke phir?" I asked angrily.
"Woh rukne ke liye tha? Sorry mujhe samjh nhi aaya tab...!" He said nervously.
"Toh phir ruke kyu?" I asked.
"Kyunki tumhari band aankho ne humse kah diya ki hum ruk jaye isliye hum so gaye..!" He said smiling.
"Hmm...accha kiya aur hum tumhe bata rahe hai, hum waise hi bahot aage badh chuke hai yeh kiss wiss karke...hum isse jyada aage nhi badh kar apne mumma papa ka bharosa nhi Tod sakte isliye next time nhi karna Aisa..!" I said.
"Okay but I have a question..(I raised my brow) agar hum woh sab hosh mein karte toh kya tumhe tab bhi itna hi dar lagta?" He asked.
"Shayad...nhi.. because tab hume pata rehta ki tum ek baar mana karne par ruk jaoge..nashe mein insaan kya karega use khud nhi pata hota isliye hume dar laga tumse...!" I honestly answered.
"Sach mein?"
"Haan..dekho Anubhav, hamare parents ki bhi love marriage hai par unhone bhi shaadi se pehle kabhi apni limits cross nhi ki...they know parents ko galati se bhi pata laga toh they get hurt aur phir future mein apne baccho ko kis muh se bolenge ki baccho hamara trust mat todna...you know Anubhav, pyaar sabse khubsurat hota hai aur woh utna hi khubsurat rahe uske liye bas aise bano ki kisi se apne pyaar ke bare mein kaho toh aur khubsurat ban jaye...aur hum bhi wahi pyaar karna chahte hai...tumse (his eyes sparkled) par apne parents ka bharosa Tod kar nhi..!" I expressed my perspective, and he smiled, tenderly planting a kiss filled with affection on my forehead, evoking the most exquisite sensation. For a fleeting moment, a deja vu swept over me – I had felt this same bliss yesterday night when he first kissed my forehead. Back then, my apprehension clouded my perception; I mistook his gesture for mere lust. But now, in the warmth of his embrace, I discerned the depth of his love. Every action last night was imbued with love.
"I love you.." he whispered, his lips grazing my earlobe, and in response, the words escaped my lips.. "I love you too," though perhaps he didn't catch them.
After that day, everything went smoothly, with some weak moments when we were on the verge of kissing each other, but he stopped himself every time.
One day, as we were heading to his home, we stumbled upon a lost and hungry brown Labrador retriever puppy. I suggested to Anubhav that we should take him home. We cared for the puppy, feeding him, giving him a good bath, and soon he became comfortable with us, particularly with Anubhav. However, Anubhav didn't warm up to him as much because he was getting jealous of Koko.
Yes, I named the puppy Koko, and my dear boyfriend is getting jealous of a puppy because I give him more attention than Anubhav.
Just look at him, how cute he is! And why shouldn't I give him more love and attention than Anubhav?
Iski cuteness ke aage kisi ki handsomeness chal sakti hai kya?
Whenever I go to his home, I spend more time with Koko, playing with him, and soon he too becomes more attached to me than Anubhav. Our life went well until one day when Anubhav came back after meeting his family.
Present Day ✨

"
Tujhse hamari wife se dur nahi raha jaata kya?" Anubhav asked Koko, who was sitting on their bed, after disrupting their romantic moment.
Koko looked at him, giving him a look as if to say 'aapki wife se pehle behan hai meri aur subah subah romance karne ko Maine nhi bola tha jo mujhe gussa dikha rahe ho'
"Jyada attitude mat dikhana, warna tera dog food fek dunga," Anubhav threatened, shooting him an angry glance, but Koko remained unfazed, turning away as if his words didn't affect him.
"Kya hua, abhi tak taiyar nahi hue office ke liye?" Haseena asked, entering the room with a fake smile.
"Bas ho rahe hain.." He replied, shooting a glare at Koko, who ignored it.
"Hmm... Koko, aaj tujhe nahla de bacche.." she said, tucking her saree's pallu into her waistband , while Koko made a face and shook his head no.
"Chup chap utar, warna bina nahaye room mein nahi ghusne denge," Haseena warned Koko, who sadly got down from the bed, while Anubhav chuckled at his condition.
Koko gave him a deadly glare, as if to say, "Bahut hasi aa rahi hai na...batata hoon... Aaj raat jitna bhi bologe, Dev Bhai ke room mein nahi jaunga..!"
"Ja ja, jakar naha le..!" Anubhav said to teased Koko.
"Aap bhi jakar ready ho jaiye...!" Haseena said tauntingly. "Warna pata chala phir shuru ho gaye..pata nhi business kaise handle karte hai kyunki subah shaam romance ke alawa inhe kuch sujhta nhi..!" She muttered under her breath.
"Kya badbad kiye ja rahi ho..muh par direct taana maar do..!" He said sighing.
"Taana nhi maar rahe hai bol rahe hai ki aapko romance ke alawa kuch nhi aata..!" She said tauntingly looking at him.
"Haan toh? Woh bhi talent hai jo shayad tumhare andar memory jaane ke baad khatm ho gya hai..!" He replied in same tone.
"Memory jaane ke baad nhi shaadi ke baad boliye...aapki dadi ke taane sun sun kar...!" She said angrily.
"Phir se kuch kaha unhone?" He asked suspiciously.
"Nhi bas..chhodiye aap ready ho jaiye hum bhi Koko ko nahla de..!" She said changing the topic.
"Haseena..!" He hold her shoulders. "Kya hua bolo?" He asked softly after kissing her forehead.
"Unhe pata hai na hum hi woh aapki girlfriend the (he nodded yes) isliye woh aise taunt de Rahi hai hume...!" She said sadly.
"Matlab?"
"Characterless bola hume, bola Jo ladki bina shaadi ke kisi aadmi ke sath uske Ghar mein raat raat bhar rahe..waisi ladki ko koi Bahu na banaye...!" She said with moist eyes, igniting Anubhav's anger.
"Aur?" He asked, his jaw clenched tight.
"Hum wahan se chale aaye..hume nhi sunana tha woh sab..!" She said sadly, embracing him tightly, clearly hurt. He kissed her hair gently, soothingly stroking her back, though anger burned fiercely in his eyes for his grandmother. He reassured her, comforting her until she calmed down, and then they both returned to their tasks.
HASEENA
It was afternoon when I decided to go shopping for my next performance, handing Koko over to Karishma for a few hours. As I was about to leave, someone called out to me.
Turning towards the voice, I saw a girl who bore a striking resemblance to me, clad in a black denim with a white crop top, her hair cascading freely, and sporting sunglasses.
She removed her sunglasses, and I recognized her instantly – it was Shweta, the woman I often saw on the news channels after her allegations against Anubhav.
"Hi Haseena..!" she greeted with a cheap smile, which only made me roll my eyes.
"Kya hai?" I asked, my tone laced with anger.
"Oh..lagta hai pehchan gyi apni dost ko tum..!" She remarked with a cheap smile.
How could I ever consider her a friend when her tone and smile radiated such negative vibes?
"Kaam bolo, aise time waste karne ke liye bekar ka time nhi hai hamare paas..!" I said coldly.
"Haseena...hum dono dost the ek time par aur ab tum humse aise baat karogi..accha nhi lag raha hai hume..!" She said with fake sadness.
"Dost the..Hein nhi, Jo tumne Kiya hai sab pata hai hume, sab bataya hai Anubhav ne hume..!" I said angrily.
"Anubhav ne kaha aur tumne Maan liya? Badi bholi ho tum Aaj bhi...!" She said with a sarcastic smile.
"Haan isliye tumhari baatein sun rahe hai yeh jante huye ki tumne hamare saath kya kya Kiya hai..!" I retorted angrily.But she merely smirked sarcastically and took a step closer to me.
"Anubhav ne kaha isliye tumne Maan liya ki humne yeh sab Kiya...ek baar khud ka dimaag use karke dekho aur batao hum kyu karenge woh sab? Kya fayda hoga tumhe harm karke hume? Anubhav? Hamare paas usse better options the aur Aaj bhi hai..hamare paas..Koi reason hi na tha aur na hai par Anubhav ke paas reasons the.. tumhare saath rape karke tumhe maarne ke..!" She said, causing my eyes to widen in shock."Rape?" I gasped, the word sending shivers down my spine.
No, Anubhav couldn't do that par yeh kah rahi hai matlab kuch toh hua hoga.
I stared at her, my suspicion growing."Rape and murder?" I asked, my voice filled with disbelief.
"Haan... Anubhav ne Kiya tha aur agar tumhe bharosa nhi hai toh saat saal pehle ke news articles padh lo ya apne Papa se puchh lo...unhe sab pata hai..!" She said, shocking me even more. The shock was too much to handle, and my legs gave out, but someone caught me before I fell, and darkness enveloped me as I lost consciousness.
