Haseena was still weeping in Karishma's embrace who was standing with tears in her eyes. She slowly placed her hand on Haseena's hair and patted her head.
"Stop crying Haseena" She ordered strictly. But Haseena snuggled more into her and holds her more tightly.
"Haseena," karishma tried to free herself from her firm grip and held her by her upper arms, "kya kar rahi ho aap, this is not your home" she asked softening her voice.
"You're my home," Haseena replied wiping her tears with back of her palm and then rubbed her nose too, "humein batao aap waqai shak kar rahi ho hum par?"
"Nahi... Abhi Ghar jaaiye, shaam mein hum aa kar baat karenge" Karishma said leaving her upper arms.
"Not possible! Humse shaam tak aapki narazgi nahi sehen hogi Kishma."
Karishma didn't say anything but she just placed her head on Haseena's chest. Seeing Haseena crying profusely her heart melted and she forgot everything she saw, "I'm sorry Haseena ...I don't know why I'm like this," she said wrapping her arms around Haseena, " however hard I try I end up hurting you"
Haseena finally smiled as she took a relief sigh and answered, "I can handle you Kishma. I can hold you. I belong to you...only you! Everything would become easy if you'll keep this in your head. Samjhi?"
"Hmmm" Karishma nodded her head, still in her embrace, "Hum aap par bharosa karte hain Haseena...! I trust you more than myself... Pata nahi kabhi kabhi hamara dimag hamare control mein nahi rehta...kya ho jaata hai humko" she said.
"Dil toh rehta hai na control mein" Haseena said caressing her back.
"Dil toh aapke paas hai na" Karishma flirted.
"Oho ab ye romance ho gaya ho toh kaam pe dhyan do tum dono!" Karan said showing fake irritation.
"Huh! Tum na ziada bolo mat samjhe!!" Haseena scolded him.
"Oh hello! Tumse baat bhi kise karni hai... Main toh Karishma se baat kar raha tha!"
"Bas karo aap dono!" Karishma said, "Hasu...abhi saamne waali building mein break hone waala hai toh vahan ke employees chai aur bakwas ke liye yahan par hi aayenge...! Jaldi se kaam par lagiye"
"Yes boss!" Haseena said and Karishma chuckled.
"Accha main jaoon?" Asked Karan.
"Roka kisne hai...!" Haseena said.
"Dekho Karishma ye mujhse kaise baat karti hai....bolo isse tumne bola hai main tumhara special friend hoon!" Karan pouted and complained.
Haseena looked at Karishma with narrowed eyes who chuckled at both of them, "Kishma isko ziada bhaav mat dia Karo... Samjhi aap!"
"Haanji samjh gaye...ab kaam karein?" Karishma said with an innocent smile.
"Aap jab hamari har ek baat bina sawaal ke maanti hain na," Haseena gave a flying kiss to her while saying, "Kasam se pyaar aa jaata hai!"
Karishma's cheeks turned red but she immediately maintained a serious face as customers started arriving at the stall. After working hard the whole day they finally took a sigh of relief at night.
"Golgappe khaane chalogi?" Haseena asked her girlfriend while wrapping up everything.
"Is waqt kahan par milenge?" Karishma asked her.
"Arre hum leke chalenge na...aap bas hamara haath pakadiye aur saath chal dijiye!" Haseena said forwarding her hand. Karishma looked at her hand and then at her and smiled. She holds Haseena's hand and both of them started walking on the lonely street, hand in hand under the moonlight.
