Haseena stared at the wall, & Cheetah entered the cabin without any notification, & wave his hand in front of Haseena, & Haseena looked at him with stern eyes, "ab toh sab kuch sahi jagah par set ho raha hai, toh kis baat ko lekar tension le rahi ho"

"tension nahi hai, kuch soch rahe the" Haseena says with a soft tone..

"aur aisa kya soch rahi thi" Cheetah asked softly..

"kuch din pehle ammi aayi thi ghar par, Mr. Gunj ne Karishma se kaha bhi ke woh humare saath nahi rehna chahti toh chodkar jaa sakti hai, lekin ussne rukne ka socha hai, woh chahti hai ke iss force shaadi ko chance de" & Haseena chuckle..

"aur tum kya chahti ho" Cheetah asked politely..

Haseena sighs, & says, "4 saal ka relation tha unn doono ka, aur hum achanak se beech mei la diye gaye hai, aur woh ab iss process mei hai, jaha par usse jo koi bhi sahar dega, woh usske liye pyar hoga, aur humein yeh sab nahi chahiye"

"toh kya soch rahi ho" Cheetah asked softly, & Haseena yawn hard, & says, "nahi pata, waise bhi, humein accha nahi lagta hai, jab koi hum ghar jaane ke baad samne baitha mile"

"but kuch bhi kiu na ho, woh tumhari wife hai" Cheetah says with a smile..

"wahi toh problem hai", "kya tumne usske saath thik se baat karne ki at least koshish ki hai" Cheetah asked with a smile, & Haseena rolled her eyes, "kya baat kare kuch samjh hi nahi aata"

"it's been 15 days, right", & Haseena shook her head, at Cheetah's words, "aur tumhe pata nahi hai ke kya baat karni hai", "humein kabhi kisi ko date nahi kiya hai, jo humein experience ho inn sab baataon mei" Haseena says with irked tone..

"sunno meri baat, ab 15 din ho gaye hai, toh ab baat karna shuru toh karo" & Haseena did not react, & Cheetah says, "ek kaam karo aaj usse dinner ke liye lekar jaao"

"nahi, bilkul bhi nahi, har jagah bas camera piche aata hai, uss din hum ghar jaa rahe the, tab ek bike wala camera lekar humein sidha shoot karna start kar diya, jaise taise woh pal humein jaane diya, lekin yeh baat aaj kal baar, baar hone lagi hai" Haseena says frustratedly..

"thik hai, mai yeh banned karwa deta hun, tension mat lo" Cheetah says softly..

Haseena shook her head, & Cheetah asked, "normally baat karte ho tum doono"

"haan, jaise ke coffee mug pass karna, khaana agar saath mei khaa rahe toh ek dusre ko puchna, yahi sab" Haseena casually says, "aur usse ghar se milwaya", & Haseena looks at Cheetah, & says, "haan, neeche wala saare corner se waqif hai, lekin humein humara room aur study room usse dikhna accha nahi lagega, khaas karke humara room", & Cheetah nods a little, & Haseena asked, "tumhari aur Santu ki love marriage hai na"

Cheetah shook his head, & Haseena asked, "Santu is your only love", & Cheetah nods no hesitate, & says, "Santu milne se pehle koi aur tha, ussne, uss waqt mana kiya yeh bolkar ke, mai ek chota sa job karta hun, aur usske papa nahi manege, aur iss wajah se ussne mujhe dumped kiya, aur tab Santu meri life mei aayi, shayad se pehli mulakat humari usske clinic mei huyi thi, jaha par woh intern thi, aur tab bhi mai chota sa job kar raha tha, aur usski salary mujhse kahi jaada thi, usske ghar se humare rishtein ko naa tha, aur ussne tab mera saath diya, jab maine waqt manga tha, aur aaj bhi shaadi ke 2 saal baad bhi mujhe accept nahi kiya gaya hai"

"oh" Haseena says with innocent tone..

"dekho, khud ka time lena aur usse time dena yeh sahi baat hai, lekin har din ek kadam aage badhna koi galat baat nahi hai, dheere, dheere karo jo karna hai woh" Cheetah says with a smile..

"yeh dheere, dheere karne ke liye, usska dil aur dimag Ayaan se nikalna jaruri hai, aur humein nahi pata hai, ab woh usse lekar kya sochti hai, aur iss shaadi ko lekar bhi kya sochti hai", Haseena says sadly..

"baat karna hi iss ka solution hai, dekho baat karke, kya hasil hota hai" Cheetah says softly, & Haseena nods a little, & Cheetah gets up, & says, "all the best", & Haseena nods a little, & he left the cabin..

Karishma is seated in the corner of a balcony, with a book, but the book is on her thigh. She is lost in her own thoughts. Haseena opens the house's main door. She rolls her eyes in the living area. Her eyes catch Karishma near the corner of the balcony. She doesn't disturb Karishma & walks directly towards the room..

A half-hour later, Haseena came out of the room, & looked at the balcony corner, & still Karishma seated there, & Haseena came down, & stood on the other side of the corner, & Karishma was disturbed by Haseena's presence, & says, "oh, tum kab aayi" & she goes to get up, & Haseena says, "baitho, baitho, hum bas dekhne aaye the, ke tum thik ho yaa nahi, tum thik ho", & Karishma nods a little, & Haseena take a seat another side of balcony corner, & they looks at each other & shares a faint smile, & Haseena looks out of the balcony, a sky turns into an orange shade, & she looks at Karishma, & asked, "kuch hua hai"

"professional problem, aur kuch nahi", Karishma says softly..

"koi aur project haath se gaya", Haseena asked in a low tone, & Karishma nodded a little, "unnka kehna hai, ke Ayaan ki wajah se unnhone woh magazine photo shoot rakha tha, aur ab wahi nahi toh mujhse koi kaam nahi hai"

"kya uss project se usse bhi haataya hai" & Karishma nodded no, & Haseena nodded a little, "hmm, haatyege bhi kaise, Mr. Gunj ka jo beta hai" & Haseena exhaled with a little annoyed face..

"gussa mat karo", Karishma mumbled, & Haseena didn't understand, "huh", "gussa mat karo" this time Karishma said in a low tone..

"ahh, no, gussa nahi hai, bas thode pareshaan hai, aur tension mat lo, woh naak se khoona aana normal hai, humein gussa aata hai ya phir BP badh jaata hai, toh usse kahi na kahi se bahar niklna hota hai, toh woh aise nikal jaata hai, thankfully heart tak nahi jaata", & Haseena looks at Karishma, who stare at with shocked face, & she shut her mouth..

"itna casually kaise le sakti ho tum, mai darr gayi thi uss din, tumhare jaane ke baad Sam ko call kiya, aur ussne doctor se pata kiya, tab kahi jaa kar meri bechaini kum huyi thi" Karishma says in soft concern tone..

Haseena nodded a little, "kya yeh baat maa ko pata hai" Karishma asked with an upset tone, & Haseena nodded no, "kiu, unnhe kiu nahi pata" Karishma asked with an upset tone..

"unnko, unnke raja bete se fursat nahi milti hai" Haseena says with a chuckle, "aur yeh tumhe kab se ho raha hai" Karishma asked with an upset layer..

Haseena think for a moment, & says, "shayad se hum 9 saal ke the, tab pehli baar hua tha, ammi ne abbu ko choda, humein bhi unnke saath choda, aur chali gayi, aur raat ko abbu ka kisi ke saath jhagda ho raha tha, aur hum humare bedroom mei band the, kiu ki woh shor bahot jaada aur darrwana bhi tha, aur hum darre huye the, aur khud ko bed ke piche chupa liya tha, aur uss waqt dil ki dhadkan itni teji se chal rahi thi, uss waqt ke liye humein laga ke dil hi bahar aa raha hai, lekin nak se khoon aana start hua, humein woh khoon uss waqt humare frock mei pochne ki koshish ki lekin woh rukne ka naam hi nahi le raha tha, aur bahar jaane ki himmat nahi thi, woh chilane ki awaz se, toh wahi par darr ke maare soo gaye, subhe uthe toh koi khoon nahi aa raha tha, bas sukhe huye khoon ke daag frock mei the, phir usske baad yeh silsila shuru hua, jab bhi jhagdon ki awaz aa jaati thi, tab naak se khoon aana start hota tha, aur jab bade huye tab doctor ko dikhaya, Cheetah ki wajah se, tab jaa kar pata chala ke humein yeh tension ki wajah se hota hai, hum pressure lete hai uss wajah se, aur usske baad, 2 saal pehle BP high hone ki wajah se hone laga"

"aur itne saalon mei tumne ammi ko nahi baataya", Karishma asked with a brim eyes..

"ammi ke paas humare liye time hi kaha tha, humse milne ke liye hi woh mahine mei ek baar aati thi, aur ek baar pucha toh baataya tha, humein ke, unnhe court ne stay lagwaya hai" & Haseena chuckle, "humein na yeh baat jhooth lagti hai, pata nahi, kiu, lekin lagti hai", & a tear rolled down from Karishma's eye, & she quickly wipe it off, before Haseena catch, & asked, "how did you manage, aur kis wajah se woh doono alag huye the"

"uss waqt Mr. Gunj ke paas sab kuch tha, aur abbu ke paas karzein, abbu jaane se pehle unnhone unnka production house bhi Mr. Gunj ke paas girvi rakha tha, kiu ki koi bank unnhe karza nahi de rahi thi, aur tab Mr. Gunj the, unfortunately abbu gujar gaye, aur baad mei woh production house humare naam par hua, aur hum chalne lage, aur jo kuch abbu ka karza tha, woh chuka diya, humein Mr. Gunj se koi takleef nahi hai, lekin humein, humari ammi se bahot saari shikaytein hai, Ayaan unnki zindagi mei aane ke baad humein aise neglect kiya ke hum unnki koi lagte bhi nahi hai, issliye unn par pyar aane se pehle hi nafrat aani shuru hoti hai" Haseena says in a cold tone, & the pin dropped silence spread in between them, but this silence in between them was a comfort, & Haseena break the silence, & asked, "tum actor kiu bani"

"mujhe paise chahiye the, college ki fees ke liye, paise the, lekin kum the, aur maa papa ko paise ke liye call karna, I mean woh kar dete lekin uss waqt halat thik nahi the, toh maine ek ad photo shoot ke liye haan kaha, aur usse humein uss waqt 5 thousand mile the, aur fees ke paise bhi poore ho gaye, saath mei upar ke paise bhi the, aur waha se yeh safar shuru hua", & Karishma looks at Haseena, who was proudly twisting her lips with a smile..

"waise hum tumhari help kar sakte hai, lekin hum yeh karnge toh problem hogi, phir se woh trolling aur trending news, aur saath mei alag tarah se muh kholenge log, aur usse phir se humara dimag kharab hoga, aur saath mei tumhe bhi preshaani, iss liye hum inn sab ke beech nahi aa rahe hai", & Karishma nods a little on Haseena's words, & says, "mujhe chalata bhi nahi waise", & they looks at each other & shares a faint smile..

"any idea, yeh media walon se kaise picha chudaye usska" Haseena asked with a hesitant smile..

"picha kar rahe hai", "bahot jaada, pareshaan ho gaye hai, Cheetah se kaha hai, woh dekhega, lekin humein immediate effect chahiye", Haseena politely says, & looks Karishma's action, who dialled the number of someones, & Haseena listened to a one-sided conversation, "hey, oh, I am good, (pause), chota sa favour chahiye, (pause), I will, promise, but please do me a favour, (pause), please yeh media, press member ko Haseena se dur rakho, inn sab mei usski life affect ho yeh mai nahi chahti hun, usse inn saari paparazzi se dur rakho toh accha hoga, (pause), oh thank you so much, thank you" & Karishma cut the call with a successful smile, "it's done, ab koi nahi aayega"

"aur yeh kaise kiya" Haseena asked with a surprised tone, "ahh, ek interview, jo maine uss press mei kaha tha", & Haseena nodded in an understanding way..

"so", & Haseena looked at Karishma again, "nothing" Haseena said with a smile, "anything else, we need to talk about it", Karishma asked..

"umm, tumne ghar dekha poora", Haseena asked with a smile, "haan, aur saath mei upar jo study room ke bahar hai, woh pool bhi", & Haseena backs off her head in embarrassment, & then looks at Karishma & says, "ahh, that was my bad decision" & she smiles, "why did you do that", Karishma asked in curious tone..

"want to learn swimming, woh pool issliye planned kiya tha, lekin aaj tak ek baar bhi used nahi kiya hai" Haseena says with a smile, & Karishma nods a little,

"tum yeh khud ko hum, hum karke kiu bulati ho", Karishma asked with a curious smile..

"kiu ki humein pasand hai, humein accha lagata hai, khud ko aisa bulana, aur sab se badi baat, akela pan mehsoos nahi hota hai" & she smiles, & Karishma nods, & asked, "aur uss din maine tumhe dekha, uss clinic ki bed par soote huye, tum khud ko hugged karke soo rahi thi, jaise ke koi tumhe hugged karke soo raha hai", "to feel safe, or I can say, to do not feel lonely" Haseena softly says, "bachpan se aadat ho gayi hai" Haseena added some more words, "waise humein puchna nahi, tum akeli ho, ya koi bhai ya behen", Haseena asked in a low tone..

"choti behen hai, woh abhi aapni padhai poori kar rahi hai" & Haseena shook her head & quickly says, "sorry, humein kuch pata nahi hai tumhare baare mei, aur humein pata lagane ki koshish bhi nahi ki, search mei naam fill karke mil jaata sab kuch lekin humare paas time hi nahi tha, pichle kuch dinno se"

"it's alright, waise bhi kuch na kuch baat karne ka chance toh mil raha hai" Karishma says with a soft smile, & Haseena nods a little, & says, "humein tumhari baat par gaur kiya", & Haseena looks at Karishma's confused face, "woh jo tum uss din baata rahi thi, ke iss force shaadi ko ek chance dene ke baare mei", & Karishma nods in understanding way, "lekin humari baat bhi ek baar samjh lo"

Karishma again nods a little, & Haseena continue, "tum usske saath 4 saal ke liye thi, usska humein pata nahi lekin tumhari taraf se usske liye feelings", & Haseena swallowed hard, & continue, "genuine thi, aur abhi tum jis situation mei ho, uss hisab se 2 chizein hogi, ek tumhare saath jo koi bhi, hum hai, lekin humari jagah koi aur bhi hoga, aur woh tumhe samjh leta toh tumhe woh feelings, efforts sab kuch sahi lag sakte hai, aur tum comparison kar sakti ho, aur dusari baat issye tum uss shaqs se bahar aayi ho ya nahi yeh nahi pata chalega, iss liye tum woh waqt lo, woh insan aane ke baad ek hi pal mei sort karo, aur usske baad hi nayi shurwat karo, humare saath nahi keh rahe hai, ek normal baat kar rahe hai, ke tumhe kya chahiye yeh baat keh rahe hai"

"so in all you mean to say, is that, after year, you want divorced" Karishma asked in straight words, & Haseena nods no with a little mouth open, "you getting me wrong", & she hit her punch on forehead with closed, & exhale, & stare at Karishma, & says politely, "dekho, aaj tak humein kisi ko bhi date nahi kiya hai, aur naa humein usske liye time mila hai, humein khud ke liye time chahiye, iss liye tumhe bol rahe hai, ke tum khud pehle inn saari baaton se niklo, agar abhi hum doono ne socha ke chalo nayi shurwat karte hai, toh aage chalkar tumhare past beech mei aa sakta hai, iss liye bol rahe hai, ke humein bhi time do, woh aane ke baad sab kuch sort karo, aur usske baad nayi shuruwat karte hai, abhi ek dusre ko time dete hai, hum bhi adjust karna shuru karte hai", & Haseena stare at Karishma with upset layer, & Karishma's sharp stare gives skipped beats to Haseena, & Haseena says, "kuch toh bolo" & Karishma sighs, & says, "thik hai, ek baat" & Haseena nods a little, "tumhe kaise pata chalega, ke tum ladkiyon mei interested ho ya nahi", & Haseena's facial expression changes into poor, & Karishma quickly says, "ok, ok, aapna, aapna time lete hai, lekin usse pehle dost ban sakte hai", & Haseena looks at Karishma with a soft gaze, "kya, nahi ban sakte" Karishma asked with pleading eyes..

"humari zindagi mei dost ke naam par sirf Cheetah hai, aur usske baad usski biwi hai, aur aaj se tum bhi unn doston ki list mei shamil ho", & Karishma's lips curved into smile, & says, "thank you", & Haseena shares a smile, & asked, "tum, tumhara kaam kab se start kar rahi ho"

"parso se, chutthi cancel kar di, ghar par baithe, baithe wahi sab kuch dimag mei aa raha tha, toh chutthi cancel karne kaha, toh jis kaam mei woh nahi hai, usse poora kar deti hun" Karishma says softly, "hmm, good decision" Haseena says with a smile, & Haseena's cell beeps, & she excused herself from their conversation, & Karishma stare at Haseena, who pulls the laptop from bag, & seat on the couch with an ongoing call, "she is right Karishma, tumhe naya rishta shuru karne se pehle time chahiye", & she moves her gaze towards the grey & orange shade of sky..
