" haseena, yhaan aakeli baithe kya soch Rahi Hain?" Noorjahan asked seating beside her daughter.
" Kuchh nehi ammi bas ye kitab khatam karane ki koshish kar rahe hain , ajkal jada time nehi milta na Aaj socha parh liya jaaye.." haseena replied.
" Hmm wo sab toh thik hain par Aise ulta kitab kabse parhne lagi tu?" Ammi asked
" Umm..ulta wo ammi tawajjo nehi raha kab ho gaya.. " haseena said correcting the book's position.
Ruffling on her hairs her ammi said, " tu ye bilkul thik nehi kar rahi , Apne ammi se khudki pareshaani chupa kar.."
" Thik toh apne bhi nehi Kiya tha ammi, woh files mere gair mouzudgi mein Rizwan ko de kar .. aap janti hain usne Karishma Singh se jaake kya kya bola ? Upar se humari nikah usse hone wali hain ye bhi bol diya , Ammi Hum usko jante tak nehi aur nahi humne Aisa koi wada kiya hain sirf uske abbu ke chahne se toh hum ye nahi karne wale .. upar se woh nasamajh , beakkal insaan , Karishma Singh the great, pata nehi kya kya soch Rahi Hain humarey bare mein dhokebaaz tak ka takma laga chuki hain... "
Ammi smiled hearing her daughter's antics how she gets affected by the latter's behaviour but still not ready to recognise her feelings then she utter ,
" Toh isse tujhe kya ? itna kyun farak par raha hain tum toh Karishma ko pasand nehi karti naah.., woh tumhare bare mein Jo bhi soche , aur rahi baat files Dene ki toh woh humne Jan bujh ke diya hain kyunki hum jante the Rizwan woh le kar jayega police station. Tere Dene se toh Karishma beta woh files nehi leti toh aise le liya aab gunehgar ko saja toh milni chahiye hainna toh bho aise hi sahi. "
" Haan jisko Jo sahi Lage woh kare hum hote koun hain kuchh bhi faisla lene se pehle koi kyun bataye hume , nehi bilkul sahi kar rahain aap log . Aur Sahi keh rahi hain aap hum kyun pasand karenge Karishma Singh ko aur koi Kam nehi hain kya humare paas .." haseena said nonchalantly then move away.
Ammi smiled, realising her daughter's feelings.

" Krishu, tu Bina khana khaye sone kyun Chali aayi..?! " PS asked entering her daughter's room
Ks- " Amma mood nehi hain, aap kha lijiye aur humko akela choriye ."
PS ( asked dramatically) - " tere khaye bina maine kis din khana khaya hain? Tu kya nirdayi samjh ti hain apni amma ko.?"
KS ( rolling her eyes)- " laiye khilaiye plate le kar khari rahengi toh na jane aur ka ka ilzaam charha dengi humare upar..., ama apki adat bhi bilkul din ba din doctor psyco ki tarah bigad rahi h . Pehle sirf drama karti thi abb ilzaam bhi lagati h humare upar.."
" chalo shukar hain hone wale sas Bahu ka gun milta jhulta toh hain warna ajkal ke daily shop jaisa takrar hota toh pata nehi hum kya karte .."PS said in her mind and got happy by the thought while KS shook her and questioned, " ka? Ka hua man hi man muskura kahe Rahi ho aap? " shoving the food in side her daughter's mouth PS said, " kuch nehi, kheer kaise bani hai batya nehi tune?"
" Umm, acchi hain Amma.." KS said gulping down.
" Toh main soch Rahi thi tu itna Haseena ki nam le hi Rahi Hain bechari ko kaheen hichki na jaye..., ek kaam kar tu na usko ye kheer de kar aa abhi niklegi toh dinner ki time ke andar pohoch hi jayegi .." PS said skillfully.
" Main Kahan le rahi hoon uski naam, aapne galat suna hoga.." KS said avoiding the fact that she took her name without being attentive now denying coz she very well knew how her mother's gonna poke her for this or blackmail to do things, which exactly happened next.
" Itni bhi Umar nehi hui humari Jo galat sunaenge hum, aur waise bhi uski gajar ke halwa wali dabba bhi lauta kar ana isi bahane .." PS said.
KS remember when Haseena came to thana she brought gajar ka halwa for her and she utter,
"Wo...wo box toh Thane mein ...ek second uss me toh halwa tha jo ki Maine khaya bhi nehi ..."
" Wo Maine kha liya kitna swadisht bana tha kya batau.." PS replied.
Rolling her eyes in irritation KS replied, " yehi yehi apeksha tha apse ammma , ek dhokebaaz ke sath jo haat Mila liya tha apne , apni beti par Zara bhi biswas na tha apko haan , police ki maa hoke bhi chori ke rasta mein gayi aap ..."
" Krishu dekh bohat ho chuka, haseena ke bare me ek bhi ulta baat bola na tune toh..." PS pause pointing her fingers.
" Toh ka? Haan..." KS counters back
" Toh main , toh main , fridge mein rakhe sare gulab jamun kha lungi woh bhi ek saath.. ..." PS utter with a frown while raising her eyebrows KS exclaimed, " haan, aap toh bolengi hi , uski side lengi aap , akhir kar dono ne milke dhokha diya tha na humko , bhul gaye the hum ..."
" Kabhi khabar achhayi ke raaste Jane ke liye chota mota bura Kam karna abashak hota hain, aur usne koi idea nehi diya muje , phir bhi tune na jane kitna bura bhala sunaya usko phir bhi Teri parwa karti rahi woh , aisi insaan tere jivan mein hote huye bhi tuje uski kadar nehi krishu , itna gussa rehega koi tere saath thodi rahegi , isse achhaa yehi hain uss bilaiti pan na Rizwan Jo bhi nam ho uske sath shaadi karle woh... " PS utter in annoyance.
As she listened to her mother's words, a wave of realization washed over her. It became clear that her anger had been the destructive force that stood in the way of her bond with Haseena. But Haseena wasn't just anyone; she was someone incredibly special, someone she couldn't bear to lose. The weight of guilt settled upon her, while PS added up more,
" areh main kya bachchi hu , akkal nehi hain kya mujhme , areh maine hi bille ko bola tha ye sab karne ko taki..." and she stopped.
" Taki? " ks questioned .
" Ama taki, tumne jo garbar failya hain usko thik kar sake hum.." PS exclaimed then surfing her hand on her daughter's head she asked further,
" Idhar dek mere taraf aur ek baat Sach bata kya , haseena ki tere jivan mein hone ya na hone se tujhe farak padta hain krishu ?"
KS gazed upwards, her silence speaking volumes as if words were caught in her throat. It was evident that Haseena held immense significance in her heart.
" Woh ek kahawat hain angrezi mein , if you find home in her presence then don't let her slip away like this Krishu..."
" Par Amma Maine toh na jane kya kya bol diya usko , aab kaise kuch bolu jaake..!" KS said lowering her head.
" Tu chal mere saath, main jaisa bolti hu waise kar. Haseena tere jaisa jarbudhhi nehi hain samajhdar hain woh ..."PS said with mischievous grin and KS frown on her statement.
" Aab nirash mat ho main hoon na...! " PS said with a spirit
" Issi baat ka toh dar lag raha hain ki aap hain pata nehi ka overacting karengi aab ,
ka naya khurafati socha hoga ..." KS said being tensed .
" Bhaak....! Mere dimag ki daur se tu abhi waqif nehi hain....." PS proudly said.
" Kuch jada nehi ho raha amma, aap Urdu kabse bolne lagi ?" KS asked folding her arms
" Jabse tu jazbaat ki lapete mein ane lagi tabse .." PS said winking and laughing,
seeing her like this KS also smiled along.

Opening the door, Haseena was taken aback by the sight of the person standing before her. It was someone she least expected to see, and for a moment, she wondered if she was hallucinating or this was just a passing figment of her imagination .
" aap?" Haseena questioned
" Woh main yahan se gujar Rahi thi toh socha ye tumhara dabba wapas lauta kar jau ..." KS replied forwarding the container
Taking the container, haseena asked , " aur isme Jo kheer dikh rahi hain woh raste mein banaya hoga, nehi ? "
" Woh ye, darasal ..." Scratching her brows KS tried to replied but didn't fathom out what to reasonate.
Shaking her head in disbelief haseena asked, " aur kuch kehna hai? "
" Wohi toh samajh mein nehi aa raha Kahan se start kare.." KS blabber into her mind looking straight at haseena.
Clearing her throat haseena raised her brows as if she's giving a introgative look .
" Ama , aise ghurti rahogi toh kaise bolenge hum .." KS said.
" Toh aab humari nazron se bhi aapko takleef hone lagi?" Asked by haseena
" Nehi...ye k...kab kaha maine..t..tum jitni der Tak chaho dekh sakti ho ..." KS Fumbled a bit.
" koi dilchaspbi nehi hain hume apko dekhne mein aur apka ho gaya ho toh aab Jaa sakti hain ..." Saying this sternly Haseena was about to close the door but KS instantly make an attempt to Stop her by saying,
" Ammi....wo mujhe ammi ki bohat yaad aa rahi thi toh ek bar unse milna thaa. ..."
Blinking her eyes in annoyance haseena
Ask her to come inside KS did the same. Ammi couldn't get more happier seeing KS as she wanted their misunderstanding to fade away then she asked,
" Beta iss waqt tum aayi ?"
Ks- " Kyun , Ammi hum aapse milne nehi aa sakte? "
Ammi - " bilkul aa Sakti ho meri bachchi, par haal filhaal kisi aur ki kharab hain usse milna mere khyaal se jada Jaruri hain iss waqt.." ( throwing the words sarcastically ammi passed a smirk, turning her gaze at haseena she added up)
" Hain naaa haseena ?! Kuchh galat Kahan kya humne? "
Haseena been staying as a silent spector till now but not anymore with a sarcastic smile she stated , " nehi , nehi ammi Miss Singh apse milne aayi hain toh Zahir si baat hai kisi aur ke parwah thodi karengi woh, waise bhi aap bhi bohat khush nazar aa rahi hain unse milkar toh aap dono mil lijiye ek dusre se, baatein kar lijiye itminaan se hum apne kamre jaate Hain..." And she left for her room..
Seeing her retreat KS's face went pale as Ammi notice this , she comes to her,
" kya lag raha hain ?"
" Aisa pratit ho raha hain ki tapmatra bohot hi bar chuki hain..." KS said looking at the empty staircase.
" Par tum toh police officer ho na sare Mausam jhelne ki takat hain tumme , toh jao Fateh haasil karo ..." Ammi encouraged the latter .
Nodding her head in acceptance KS prayed ,
" jai Shiv shambu.." and went upstairs.
Now KS should go to Himalayas and bring baraf to cold down her tana queen, kya bolti public ?😂
