Karishma's POV (continued):
------------------------------------

When I came back to the quarter, I thought to sleep as early as possible as I have to wake up early in the morning for the 'cycle-DATE'.... I mean the cycle tour. Why did the word 'date' come into my mind now? Due to Haseena, not my fault.

I should ask my friends regarding this. Nehi, woh log kya sochenge! Google se puchti hu?

With the speed of a bullet train I searched on google, "Can friends go on a date?"

Google replied positively, so it's okay to call it a date. Thank God, I'm relieved! This is what google had said,

Then I ate dinner in a hurry & went to sleep but sleep was away from my eyes

Then I ate dinner in a hurry & went to sleep but sleep was away from my eyes. I was planning, in my head for tomorrow, when I noticed the moon. What a mesmerising soothing beauty it was, is it a full moon?

No I guess it's 1 or 2 day before the full moon but this scenario is divine. Then suddenly the view of Haseena came into my mind, that view when she was praying. I don't know what is this happening to me, I just know we have the magic! But I'm afraid of indulging in her magic or should I say, our magic, I should just do it now. Why do I still feel like my fingers are still clenched at her shirt? & my head above her shoulder? Do I miss her skin? Aisa bhi hota kya?! Aur yeh chand hume kaabse khubsurat lagne laga?! Kya topa gaye hum bhi, okay, I should think straight & this is it,

I admire her & it's not a bit more than that.

[Writer: Kya Karishma, Aap khud hi bolti hai, iss rishtey mein magic hai, aur khud hi logic dhundhne chali magic ki beech mein.

KS: o ha, hum bhi topa gaye. Thank you for reminding me. Waise aap hai kaun jo hamari dimag mein ghuss jati hai harbar?

Writer: Hum nehi aap dono ghuss ke baithi hai hamari dimag mein, waise achha bhi hai

KS: Toh please hamara happy ending wala atory likhna, saare readers bhi yehi chahte hai

Writer: yeh bhi koi puchhne ki baat hai! Zaroor, aab mein chalti hoon, abhi aapki Haseena ka call jo ayega, as per your readers wish, they all are very fond of your phone conversations

KS: Sach mein?]

My chain of thoughts broke with Haseena's call & I picked up in one ring

HM: Arey wah, ek hi ring mein utha liya?

Me: Ha, because I was thinking about you right now...

HM: what were you thinking?

Me: yehi ki koi itna boring kaise ho sakta hai?

HM: Boring kaise? Aaj to humne ek bhi science ki baatein nehi batayi, I didn't even think while riding the cycle about- what might be the frictional speed against the force with which I was paddling?

Me: Really you didn't even think, then from this thought is coming, Aur aap to anatomy ki deewani thi, toh yeh physics beech mein kaha se agaya?

HM: Ha, physics hi to hai jiski liye humne anatomy ko dhoka diya?

Me: yeh bhi, achha hai, nerdy bean ki nerdy wala jokes.. waise Aap hume kabhi dhoka toh nehi dengi na?

HM: Ahem....I should just say "Yeh sawal thora ajib nehi hai?" Lekin hum yeh nehi kahenge, humne kaha na Aapko ki, A part of me preserved for you always! The way I present myself in front of you, I've never done that with anybody Karishma...!
Aapka saath hume bohot achha lagta hai, with you I never count lost & gain,
With you, hours pass like minutes
& I wish, minutes would feel longer as hours. You can ask any of my acquaintances, I have never spoken this much, never expressed this  much.
Aur baas, I have no more words to describe our friendship....
Aur jo dhoke ki baat aap kar rahi hai, toh I want to confess something. I like anatomy, but I still didn't choose it, because there were circumstances, so if circumstances come where I have to choose between your trust & you... I would always choose you over your trust, agar isse aap 'dhoka' ka naam dena chahte toh yehi sahi, Aap hume iss baat ki liye shama kar denge toh I would consider myself lucky aur agar saaza bhi denge toh woh bhi manzoor hai lekin yehi hamara sach hai...

Me: Ok..ok... I want to learn this politeness of you DR. Malik.
Aur Itna serious hone ki zaroorat nehi hai, hum to baas aisehi leh rehe the...

HM: But this politeness & tehzeeb aapko suit nehi karegi, Aap bhawkal karte hi achha lagte hai....
Ummm... Karishma, can I ask you something, please don't mind?

Me: Nehi, I wouldn't. You can ask anything?

HM: That day when you said, You'll catch every tear of mine & today also when you said hamari aur aapki dosti mein aapka pran baasta hai..... Tabhi Aapne aise hi to nehi kahatha, haina?
Kyunki agar aisa hai toh, hum pehle hi khud ko samet lenge. Because I'm really much fond of you & I don't wanna get hurt.

Me: Aapko kya lagta hai Haseena?! Humne kaha tha na, hamari aakhon mein nehi dikhta Aapko hamara sach? That I'll never leave you till death.
Aur yeh to saara sheher janta hai ki...

HM: Baas.. baas, poore sheher ki baat nehi hai yeh, hum dono ki baat hai. It's like we're in a room where we're able to be just you & me with all our madness & imperfections.

Me: Haseena, it's my pleasure ki Aap aisa sochte hai but don't try to be perfect in everything. You're allowed to lose a little bit of control.

HM: Do you even know, how many times I've heard that?

Me: Still you remain desperate to be perfect, why is that Haseena?

HM: I don't know, it's just my nature. Only with you it's different.

Me: Aur aap jo abhi bol rahi thi, 'hum dono', humne count kiya toh paata chala, aaj to hum to do nehi teen hai.

HM: kya?

Me: you, me & this moon. Dekhiye abhi iss chand ko. Aaj full moon hai kya?

HM: Hume nehi paata, rukiye....
Bob, what's today's lunar date?

Bob: 14th

HM: Suna, it's the 14th. Kal full moon hai. Aapko full moon pasand hai?

Me: Nehi, aisi koi baat nehi, baas aaj hi chand ko notice kiya, pehle kabhi iss tarah ka khayal nehi aaya chand ko lekar. Btw Haseena raat ho gayi hai, so jaiye. Kal milte hai.

HM: Baaton, baaton mein yeh puchhna hi bhul gaye ki hum kabtaq lautenge?

Me: Woh, aap decide karegi. Agar aapko achha lage to jitni der taq chahe aap, kyunki kaam to kuch hai nehi hamara, kal to chutti hai.

HM: thik hai. Woh kal dekhenge. Abhi rakhte hai. Good night Karu.

Me: Good night. Take care of yourself & Miku

With that I cut the call & drifted into sleep. & My flashback ends with me drifting into sleep too in the current time.
