CHANCE AT LOVE

AJEEB DASTAAN

At Haseena's place,
Ruhi was really enjoying the company of Haseena, Cheeta and Santu, having lots of fun. Cheeta and Santu were happily spending time with Ruhi. But Haseena half-heartedly participates in this. She was only tensed and concerned about Karishma. Haseena dials Karishma's number more than 20 times but quickly disconnects before it can connect. She went in the garden unable to handle the worries about Karishma.

In the garden, Haseena was pacing to and fro. She was blaming herself for Karishma's situation.

HM: sorry Karishma...!! I'm so sorry... I have made a mistake coming back into your life. Nahi aana chahiye tha. Na hi hum aate na hi ye sab bawal hota. You would have lived a perfectly married life.

Haseena clenched her fist and banged on the table in the garden and kicked the chair in frustration.

" Tumhari koi galti nahi hai beta" a voice said keeping her hand on Haseena's shoulder.

Haseena turns back to find Noor Jahan who was listening to her all this time.

HM: no mom! It's all my fault. Neither I would have come back nor did Karishma have to suffer so much. And you know mom, I can't do anything about it. I can't even fucking help it and it makes me feel so helpless.I can't do anything. Good for nothing.

NJ: Hasu relax... It's not your mistake. Stop blaming yourself. Khud ko galat mat samhjo.

Haseena held her hands.
HM: mom I want to go back to London. Aur nahi reh sakte yahan. Agar hum aur ruke toh Karishma ki problems aur bhi zyada badegi and I don't want this.

NJ: hasu...
Trying to calm down her

HM: no mom, aap nahi samhj nahi rahi hai. If I stay any longer then Karishma's life be more complicated.

Noor Jahan held her upper arms and shook her a bit stop her blabbering.

NJ: Haseena enough! Hum sab samhj rahe hai. Karishma and you both are suffering. Aur meri Haseena itni weak nahi hai. You have handled all the difficult situations beautifully and you can handle this too.

HM: mom Karishma...?

NJ: Karishma bhi bahut strong hai. Wo aise 10 Karan ko aaram se handle kar sakti hai. Don't take her for granted.

Ruhi comes in the garden searching for Haseena.

RS: Hero!...

NJ: your hero is here...

Noor Jahan saw Ruhi and calls in her direction then whispers to Haseena.

NJ: abhi Ruhi idar hai. Take care of her. Ruhi ki family abhi nahi hua toh kya hua, hum log hai na. And you are very important ruhi. Hero ho tum uski. Karishma se subah baat karenge.

Haseena nods in agreement. Ruhi reaches them and Haseena lifts her in her arms.

RS: aap kahan chale gaye the?!

HM: yahi hai Ru.

RS: call mumma please 🥺.

NJ: aap enjoy nahi rahi hai?

RS: no! Hume yahan bahut maaza aa raha hai.

HM: then what's the matter Ru baby?

RS: missing mumma... Hero chalo na mumma ko idar late hai. Then we'll enjoy together.

HM: Ru it's very late. Aur na agar senorita ko pata laga hum jag rahe hai khub saari masti kar rahe hai. Then she order us to sleep. Abhi toh humari movie bhi complete nahi hui.

RS: aur humari ice cream bhi!

HM: exactly! Mumma k pas subah chalte hai.  

RS: yes yes!! Chalo movie dekhte, tiger is coming back home.
