Continued-

She took care of him that day and went home..and decided to confess once he feels okay.

"Maddam Sir", Karishma called her 3rd time as she was lost somewhere.

HM- ji? Ji boliye Karishma Singh..

KS- aap theek hain?(questionably)

HM- haan..haan bilkul..aap kahiye na..kya kaam tha?

KS- woh, humein aaj zara jaldi ghar jaana tha..(hesitantly)

HM- koi khaas wajah?

KS- woh..hamare patidev aa rahe hain..chhutti mili hai kuch dino ki..toh..

HM- jaiye jaiye, Karishma Singh..Enjoy(smilingly)

Karishma smiled back..

KS- waise MS, bhaiya ka tabiyat theek hai ab..uu aajse duty pe aane wale hain..(smilingly)

HM- oh..(happily)

KS- ek aur request thi, MS..

HM- boliye na..

KS- chachiji ghar par nahi hain aur hum patidev ke sath bahar jaa rahe hain..aur Malaika bhi chhutti par hai..toh aap bhaiya ke dinner ka intezaam kar sakti hain? Kyuki agar unpar chhoda toh bread butter kha kar so jayenge..(chuckling)

HM- aap befikr rahiye, Karishma Singh..hum unhe apne ghar dinner par bula lenge aaj..(smilingly)

Karishma thanked her and left..soon, Haseena wrapped up her work and called Anubhav..

"Hello", his husky voice erupted butterflies in her stomach..she gulped nervously and replied..

HM- kahan hain aap?

AS- Headquarters mein..kyun? Koi karya tha?(confusingly)

HM- aa..nahi..hum bas aaj apko apne ghar dinner ke liye invite karna chahte the..

He smiled happily..but controlled his excitement and said,

AS- achanak?

HM- Karishma Singh ne bataya, Auntyji ghar par nahi hain aur Ammi bhi Pushpaji ke sath gayi hain bahar..hum apne liye khana bana hi rahe the toh socha aapko bhi invite kar lete hain..(she said, biting her lips nervously)

AS- hum avashya aayenge, Haseenaji..bas abhi aadhe ghante mein niklenge Headquarters se..(smilingly)

HM- okay..milte hain fir..(happily said and cut the call)

"Chal Haseena..bohot taiyyari karni hai abhi..", she mumbled to herself, taking her jeep's keys..and reached home within fifteen minutes. She quickly changed into her comfortable night outfit and started the dinner preparations.

"Umm..daal-chawal toh theek hai..sabzi kya banaye?"..she said, noting the contents of the fridge.."Shahi Paneer hi bana dete hain..hmm" she decided..taking out the paneer packet in the fridge and put the oil on heating. Meanwhile, her phone rang..it was Ammi.

HM- ji ammi..(stirring the vegetables)

Ammi- tu aaj khana order kar lena..main Pushpaji ke sath khakar aaungi..aur ho sakta hai aaj raat yahi hotel mein ruk jaun..

HM- Hotel mein kyu?

Ammi- kaafi raat ho chuki haina..rasta safe nahi hai..isiliye..

HM- theek hai ammi..aur haan, hum khana bana rahe hain aaj..

Ammi- ohho..kya ho gaya aaj hamari policewali ko....akele ke liye bhi khud khana banaya jaa raha hai..wah!(bhari sarcasm ke sath)

HM- ho gaya?(frowning)..aap enjoy kariye na Ammi..humein taane dene mein time mat waste kariye..(grumpily)

Ammi- theek hai theek hai..(chuckling) chal rakhti hu..dhyan rakh tu bhi..

HM- ji Ammi aap bhi..bye..(cut the call)

Haseena switched off the gas and added paneer to the gravy..spreading the delicious smell in the house.

HM- chalo yeh toh ho jayega abhi..hum meethe mein bhi kuch mangva lete hain..(she opened Swiggy)

All the preparations were done..Haseena sat on the sofa with a huff..and saw the time..Anubhav would come anytime soon now..she got up to change her outfit when the doorbell rang..she facepalmed herself and opened the door..only to find him standing there with his charming smile.

She gave him way..and the fragrance of delicious food made him even more hungrier than he already was. But, having a glance at her..his heart danced..as she looked super cute with her oversized set and the little flour on her left cheek.

HM- aa..aap baithiye hum change karke aate hain..

She turned to go, when she felt a strong grip on her wrist..and in a swift motion, she was pulled on his chest..his hand twisted with hers, behind her back. He wiped the flour from her cheek..revealing its pink hue due to their proximity ofcourse.

"Aise hi rehne dijiye..pyari lag rahi hain aap..", he flirted..making her blush even more. He left her wrist..maintaining proper distance..making her smile inwardly..

HM- chaliye fir aap hath-muh dho lijiye..hum khana lagate hain..

He nodded and went inside the washroom..

"Haseenaji towel chahiye tha", she heard his voice from the washroom..she handed over her towel and he came out..

AS- khushbu toh atyadhik mohak aa rahi hai..shayad Shahi Paneer banaya hai aapne..haina?

She looked at him surprisingly..

AS- naak tez hai hamari..(proudly)

HM- wah..yeh naya talent pata chala humein aapka..ab tak toh sirf zubaan tez hai itna hi pata tha..(she giggled)

AS- zubaan toh tez rakhni padegi Haseenaji..warna ghar kaise chalega hamara..(smiled)

HM- accha baki baatein khaate khaate karenge..pehle aap baithiye..

He sat beside her on the dining chair..she served him food..and he ate it with his heart's content..
