WORLD OF HATE

CHAPTER 8

"Even after killing Aditya, I was waiting for you. Tum ne bina souche samhje usse maar diya aur hum par kya guzri hai ek baar bhi nai pucha...", Karishma, reflecting on their past, added.

Haseena, in anguish, responded, "What do you think? I should have stood there and listened to the dirt he was speaking for you? Sorry I'm not that strong nor I have the capacity to hear that. Hum nai sun sakte ek bhi word tumhare against. Aur hum ne teen baar kaha tha tumhe chhodne ke liye. I don't even have a tinge of regret or guilt for killing that boy."

Joining her palms, Karishma said, "Meherbani aap ki jo warning dedi. Aur tumhari warning ka kya kare hum? Iss wajah se hum dur hogaye uska kya? Hum alag hogaye uska kya?"

Haseena retorted sharply, pointing her finger, "Don't you dare blame it on me. You left me and disappeared from my life after this incident. When I was only trying to protect you. Tumhare chhodne ke baad hum tumhare ghar aaye the... Aas pas sab se pucha tha. Ek baar nai hazar baar aaye the. My whole security team searched the entire Mumbai. So Miss Karishma Singh where did you wait for me? In the forests or nest?"

Karishma, disappointed, responded, "Yehi toh baat hai na... Tumhari security team ne dhunda tum ne nai."

Haseena's anger escalated, "Are you out of your mind? Humare saath-saath humari security team ne bhi dhunda. Ek akela insaan kaise pura shehar dhund sakta hai? When I have the resources then why can't I use them?"

Standing up, Karishma put her mobile in her pocket, grabbed her luggage, and said, "Hum humari family ke pas jaa rahe hai."

Haseena stood up, wrote an address on a piece of paper, and handed it to Karishma, stating, "Here is the address. You are free to go!" Then, she moved towards the door.

Karishma looked at the paper and taunted Haseena, "Lagta hai bahut jaldi hai apni biwi ke pas jane ki."

Upon this comment, Haseena stopped and turned towards her, replying, "When I have a wife, I will surely go to her. And for kind information, agar uss din tum hume bina bataye, daar kar nai bhagti toh aaj uski jagah tum hoti."

Karishma looked into her eyes and said,"Hum nai bhaage the... Hasu hum nai bhaage the. Hum ne wahi tumara intezaar kiya..."

Haseena moves towards her, saying,"Toh kahan thi tum? Hum roz tumare ghar aaye hai tab tak, jab tak hum ne Mumbai nai chhoda... And I left Mumbai after I knew where you are here. Karishma Singh... 8 fucking years! Hum ne tumhe pagalo ki tarah dhunda hai. And how would I have  known that you are here and know you belonge here. Tumari personal details toh hume pata hi nai thi. I was a fucking worst partner that I don't know about my girlfriend's address and hometown. Tumhe pata bhi hai kis dard, kis dukh aur kis tadap se guzare hai?"

Karishma asked her,"Aur iss cheez ki saza tum itne pariwar ko de rahi ho jo ultimately humare liye hai. I still say you can do whatever you want but innocent logo ko kyu humari saza de rahi ho?"

Haseena replies sharply,"I'm not punishing any family. In fact I'm the one who gave them better homes. 95% of families were living in 1bhk houses. You don't know anything about my area but I have the complete history. That area is a little above a slum, nothing else. Aur 95% families ke liye 5% ko thodi si takleef uthani pad rahi hai toh hume farak nai padta. I'm happy that families live a better life."

Karishma stood there in surprise upon hearing this news. Simultaneously, Noor Jahan entered the room. "Aur kitni der room rehna hai? Hasu it's dinner time. Karishma tum bhi aao."

Haseena, looking at Karishma, mentioned, "Karishma is leaving. I will drop her. Aap log dinner kar lijiye."

Noor Jahan lightly hit Haseena's arm, "Sharam nai aati? She just woke up after an incident. You are sending her that too at night?"
