As soon as the notification appeared, Karishma opened up her messages.
The message:
"Hame pata hai, apka gussa jayas hai lekin yakeen maniye hamara matlab bilkul bhi wo nahi tha jo apne soch liya. Hum sach me apse dosti karna chahte the, haa ye baat sach hai ke agar hum dono ki dosti ho gayi toh sab kuch aasan hojaye ga lekin apse dosti karne ka ye matlab bilkul bhi nahi tha karishma. Hamara yakin maniye, please hame maaf kar dijiye, aur aise nazar mat rahiye na accha nai lagta hame, ap toh apni flirting aur humour ki andaaz me zyada acchi lagti hai hame."
The moment Karishma saw Haseena's message with the apology, she couldn’t help but light up.
Karishma replied:
"Hum apko maaf toh karenge lekin ek shart par"
Haseena was looking at the phone screen in confusion and was very curious to what the condition that Karishma was about to propose would be.
She wondered what she wanted as they had been through a lot already.
"Shart??? Kaisa shart?" -Haseena
"Nahh ,chodiye na hame nai lagta ap kar payengi" karishma further teased haseena.
Haseena was taken aback by her reply and at this point she was determined to do anything.
She replied:
"Come on, at least tell me what it is so I know what I'm up against, aur hum wada karte hai jo bhi shart ho hum poora karenge"
"Pakka? soch lijiye" -Karishma
"Haan, Pakka soch liya" -Haseena
"Theek hai fir, let me kiss you on your cheek" Karishma replied in one go her heart was raceing faster and faster while typing the message and she sent it
Haseena's eyes widened as soon as she saw the message, her cheeks reddening when she read the message.
"K..kk...kiss?," As she whispered
This made her cheeks turn even redder which was quite cute and funny.
Haseena composed herself and typed the massage again
"Are you serious right now?? Ap mazak kar rahi hai na?? "
"Nahi toh, I'm damn serious and By any chance, are you blushing right now haseena ji". -karishma
Haseena's blush became even more noticeable after reading Karishma's message.She started thinking about what she did to get to this situation.
Feeling even more embarrassed because she couldn't see Karishma anywhere and didn't know if she was already watching her.
"no I'm not!" Haseena typed abruptly and sent
This made Karishma chuckle at her phone she couldn't help but tease her some more with her question.
"Oh come on, we both know you're blushing right now. It's pretty obvious." -Karishma
"Nahi toh hum kyu blush karenge". -Haseena
"Accha theek hai maan gaye, toh tell me when are you Letting me kiss you?? You want me to come now !" Karishma was enjoying the situation a lot.
Haseena couldn’t bealive Karishma's this bold move, and started cursing her own fate
"Nahi nahi abhi nahi, Don't come, hum khud aayenge I'll let you know"
"Toh, kab aayengi aap? 10 seconds kafi hai kya?" -Karishma
"Are you serious, 10 seconds??" -Haseena
"Nah, i was Messing with you take your time but keep your word, I'll be waiting, and one more thing apko ammi aur pushpa ji niche bula rahe hai for lunch"
"Haan, hum aa rahe hai" saying this haseena kept her phone aside
Haseena had been left all confused by the way she had responded to the situation with Karishma which had already been an unusual and strange scenario.
She couldn’t figure out what exactly was it about Karishma’s flirtatious behavior that attracted her so much to her, even though she also had been annoyed by her at times as well.
"hum wada karte hai jo shart ho hum poora karenge" haseena mocking her own self saying all those things she said a minute ago to karishma "kya zaroorat thi hame wo sab bolne ki... Ab bhugto haseena bhugto" Haseena kept pondering over both the confusion and attraction she felt for Karishma as she placed her phone down to contemplate on this matter privately.
"Kuch toh baat hai apme karishma jo hum NA nahi bol paate apko, i should be careful from next time".
Karishma on the other hand had a Winning smile on her face
Pushpa and Noor had noticed the sudden change in Karishma’s mood and they were wondering why she was suddenly so cheerful and smiling.
"Ise kya hogaya hai paagalon ki tarah muskura kyu rahi hai" pushpa asked
Noor giggled and said "allah ka lakh lakh sukhar hai ki sab kuch pehle jaisa ho raha hai"
They both had their theories but they weren't exactly sure why she had suddenly sprung to life and was so happy.

Santu met up with Shivani at a restaurant that they had both agreed upon earlier.
The two of them sat down at the restaurant.
Santu took the initiative and talked "batao kya baat hai, haseena aur di ke bareme?"
"Tu hamesha se aise hi thi kya??? Itna gussa santu thoda shanti se toh baat kar!"
Shivani sadi as santu came straight to the topic without wasting a second.
"I'm not angry I'm just irritated." Santu replied, with a calm, cold and firm tone, completely dismissing Shivani's accusation. "And why would I wanna talk to you nicely?"
She wasn't letting up and would not take any excuses.
"Santu calm down, mai tere story ki villan nahi hoon so stop looking at me like one" Shivani said with a faint voice
" Shivani, are you gonna talk about them?? Or u want me to leave" santu said not showing any kind of expression
"Fine, I will tell you what I know." Shivani continued in a flat tone not bothering to entertain any more of Santu's accusation .
"Haseena and karishma are pretending as girlfriends they are not actually dating" she told her everything she knew or at least what she was willing to share.
"Karishma ne hi bola tha tujhe bolne ko, as she can't tell you in haseena's house nor in front of pushpa ji and noor Aunty so.."
When Santu heard that Haseena and Karishma were really not dating, she was stunned and shocked.
She couldn't believe it that after all this time, they had only been pretending to be girlfriends.
Santan quickly replied, "Lekin haseena mujhe toh bata sakti thi na??"
Santu was feeling hurt by this revelation as she had always been there for Haseena and yet she had never been told this information.
Santu immediately got up from her seat as soon as Shivani’s hand reached her shoulder.
Santa had no intention of letting her do that so she was quick to leave the scene.
She was now quite irritated with Haseena and she did not want any confrontation with Shivani.
Haseena called her while she was still there with shivani but santu chose to ignore it as she's still processing this new found information.
"Call toh pick karo santu, haseena calling you from the last 10minutes"
Santu was done with the whole situation that was happening and she left after saying,
“Thank you for informing me. I am leaving now.”
That's it. Santu was out of there and she went back home.

Everyone was waiting at the dinner table for haseena
Haseena came down for dinner after hearing her mother's call and she was surprised to see Karishma smiling at her in such a mischievous manner.
Karishma's expression caught her off guard and she couldn't help but look away for a while. "Ab ye aise kyu dekh rahi hai, kha jaygi kya" haseena whispered to herself
She was still feeling a bit nervous about their previous interaction and was curious to see how Karishma was going to act now.
"Santu kaha hai ammi?, Aur kab se call kar rahi hoon wo call bhi nahi pick kar rahi hai"
Haseena asked
“Santu couldn’t make it for dinner, wo kisi friend ka call aaya tha so she went"
"Kya kiss??? Konsa kiss? Ham nahi jante kisi kiss ko"She began flustering and tried to deny that any kiss ever mentioned or happened.
Haseena's cheeks started to turn red upon hearing her "kiss"
Noor and Pushpa just looked at her in complete confusion, not quite understanding what was really going on here.
Karishma was definitely finding this situation quite funny as she saw how embarrassed and flustered Haseena had become from that single moment of misunderstanding.
"O 'kiss' nahi hai haseena ji 'kisi' se milne gayi hai santu ye bola tha ammi ne"
Haseena closed her eyes and could feel her heart pounding.
She was filled with disbelief and embarrassment after realizing her mistake and having Karishma point out her blunder so quickly.
She had been so caught up in the emotions that she had not paid attention to the actual topic of the conversation.
Haseena was still hiding away with her eyes shut and her face red from embarrassment.
This made Karishma giggle and chuckle at the silly situation.
Noor and Pushpa quickly understood the situation after seeing both their daughter and Karishma react in such a playful and playful manner.
They both just sat there laughing lightly and smiling at these two girls, enjoying the atmosphere that the banter created.
Karishma leans close to Haseena's ear and speaks softly "apne kya socha tha haseena ji", whispering the intimate words to her, it establishes a close physical proximity that invokes a sense of intimacy, karishma went back to her initial position and continue eating.
Haseena was unable to move or respond as she was just left feeling too embarrassed to do anything.
Haseena was quite eager to get up from the dinner table and go to her room after the embarrassing confrontation she had just had with Karishma.
She quickly finished eating as was too embarrassed to look back at her mother and Karishma for the time being.
She wanted a moment of peace away from the embarrassment she had just felt.
Haseena left her seat to head towards her room and was walking towards the door when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Santu was coming into the house
Haseena was relieved to see her and asked "santu where were you?"
Santu was a bit sad after listening to all that shivani said but immediately regained her composure.
"Oh, I was just out with a friend and it took longer than I had expected so I'm just coming back. Vaise haseena you took your pills today?"
Haseena nodded in No
"Aise kaise har rooz bhul jaati hai tu, ruk mai laati hu" santu went and brought the pills and haseena took them.
"Accha now i took the pills tu Chal lunch karle pehle" haseena said
"Nahi yaar mai bahar khake aayi hoon, i have headache I'll go and rest for sometime"
"Okay tu theek haina santu? Accha thodi der rest karle, tujhse kuch important baat karni hai, I'll talk to you later" haseena said
Santu nodded and went from there.
Karishma was also noticing Santu's demeanor and she noticed that she looked a bit down.
Santu was normally a very cheerful and happy person but she didn't seem that way right now.
Karishma was getting even more curious about what was going on here with the these two.
She decided to let Santu get a little bit of rest and time for herself for now instead of prodding her about it.

A few minutes later Haseena was in the kitchen speaking with her mother and Pushpa who were both getting deserts for everyone.
Haseena asked them about the day and what they had done previously.
Pushpa and Noor were both happy to see her around "hame karishma bohot pasand aayi beta"
Haseena just gave them a warm smile
It was overall a very calm and peaceful setting for Haseena right now.
On the other hand, Karishma felt a bit restless and she quickly came up with an idea to see if she could get Haseena to come to her so she could kiss her.
"Haseena ji, wo apka phone baj raha hai lagta hai kuch important call hai"
Karishma said maintaining the serious face
Haseena suspected right away that this was all just a grand plan of Karishma's to have her come to her.
"It's okay , ap ignore kijiye, it might be company related, I don't feel like talking to any right now"
She decided to just respond and pretend that she didn't realize what Karishma was planning to do.
"Aarey beta, come lets have dessert"pushpa said in between these banter
"Ji nahi pushpa ji, I'm on a diet i can only eat sugar free dessert"
"Oh, that's a shame. What kind of diet are you on that doesn't allow you to eat delicious dessert?"
Haseena said this playfully and with a slight smirk as she continued to try to tempt karishma to join her.
"Don't worry I'll have my dessert later, i mean sugar free one, wo hamara matlab ghar jake khalenge" karishma said looking straight at haseena.
Haseena felt herself getting a bit red in the cheeks when she realized what Karishma was referring to.
Haseena realized that the flirting and teasing between her and Karishma was starting to become a little bit too much for her to handle at just the moment.
She said "I'll be back in a minute, I just need to use the bathroom real quick" and then she quickly left from there.
She hadn't fully expected her to come up with that clever line about the dessert.
Haseena continued walking towards the restroom and she also continued her thoughts:
"how she can just say these things with a straight face. It keeps throwing me off, aur hame ye kya hogaya hai hum kyu khamakha blush kare ja rahe hai. I know I shouldn't be blushing this much but that just felt so sudden! My cheeks are literally on fire right now!"
Haseena was feeling rather relieved as she approached the bathroom.
However, her peace and comfort was about to be disrupted as she felt someone pull her away from there.
Haseena opened her eyes and her heart dropped when she realized who it was.
She was now stuck in between Karishma and was unable to move at the moment.
She was trapped and was now at the mercy of the mischievous Karishma's actions.
Haseena's heart began to beat a bit faster when she realized her situation.
She was now trapped between karishma's both hands as Karishma had her pinned against the walls. She could not move and she couldn't escape this now.
Haseena's body was in a compromising position and she was feeling rather anxious about the situation in which she was trapped.
"Are you trying to avoid me?" Karishma asked, her breath was uneven even though karishma acting all dominant karishma knew haseena can make her feel billions of feelings with her one touch
Haseena began freezing up as she heard Karishma's question.
"no...n..no why would i avoid"
She gave her a mischievous look and said "Oh, I don't know...maybe because you keep trying to avoid me?"
Haseena was feeling rather vulnerable right now and she could not really defend herself at the moment.
"Toh haseena ji, Now you Letting me kiss on your cheeks or are you accepting your defeat??"
Haseena's heart raced when she heard Karishma ask this question so directly and bluntly.
This direct questioning was not something she was used to from Karishma and at the moment she was feeling really nervous and shy.
Haseena decided to show a bit of bravery and she let out the first genuine answer to this direct question from Karishma.
She said "You can kiss me on the cheek".
Haseena closed her eyes and offered her cheek to Karishma for a kiss. She had decided to let her be kissed but wasn't sure what to expect in return from this interaction.
Karishma was so close to Haseena's face now. They were just inches away from one another and Karishma was close enough that she could feel the heat from her body and her uneven breaths.
The tension between them was building as it felt like Karishma was about to kiss her and Haseena was getting more and more nervous with the anticipation.
Haseena's heart dropped into her stomach when she felt Karishma's gentle touch on her earlobe.
She felt completely frozen in that moment.
She could feel Karishma moving her closer and karishma said" open your eyes haseena ji, look at me"
Haseena felt a shiver go down her spine as she heard Karismha whisper into her ear.
The proximity between them was unbearable and it felt like Karishma could do anything at this moment.
Haseena slowly opened her eyes and met Karishma's look.
"Are you sure?? You wanna do this. I can pass this bet if you don't want it" karishma said with concern even though nothing ever matters to her in this moment more than kissing haseena she still chose to ask her permission.
The fact that Karishna cares enough to ask if she's sure. She's overwhelmed by how much this one gesture means to her.
Haseena was feeling extremely vulnerable right now.
Just seeing Karishma's eyes was enough to make her feel all kinds of intense things including fear and excitement.
She was tempted to say yes and let this whole thing pass but she was confused whether or actually wanted to let that happen or not.
She wasn't sure what she wanted exactly at this moment so she let nature take control.
She responded "No, no, the bet is the bet. Please go ahead."
As soon as haseena said karishma closed the gap between their faces
Haseena's heart skips a beat as Karishma's lips brush against her right cheek ever so gently.
She can't help but close her eyes and savor the feeling of that gentle kiss.
It's electrifying, the soft touch of another's lips and skin against her own. She is so close, so close, to losing herself in the moment.
Haseena had just recovered from the first kiss but she felt a second kiss on the left cheek shortly after.
Haseena felt her cheeks burning from the soft and intimate kisses. She was feeling extremely passionate and overwhelmed right now.
Haseena had opened her eyes again right after the second kiss and she had realized that the bet was just for one single cheek.
"karishma apne cheat kyu kiya?" Haseena asked
"Humne kya Kiya?" Karishma defended
"Don't you think the bet was only about one kiss on a cheek"? Haseena asked raising her eyebrows.
Karishma was so close to Haseena once again. She was looking up at her and her eyes were a mixture of tease and said :
"The second kiss is a penalty for making me wait for too long and especially for avoiding me"
Haseena couldn't respond for a moment because she was too busy trying to keep her calm.
"Haan ek aur baat, humne maaf kar diya apko, agar shart aisi ho toh hum chahte hai ke ap bar bar galti kare aur humse maafi mange"
Haseena was feeling really flustered as Karishma left her behind after saying this and kissing her on both the cheeks.
She felt like there was something deep within her that was reacting to this touch and to this moment overall.
