Apologies for the errors!🙏

About a week had passed. KarEena used to talk to each other over phone as they were quite busy and weren't able to meet each other. They were getting comfortable with each other and an unknown bond started developing between them. One fine day, while Karishma and her mother were having breakfast, Her mother asked her something.

K's mom- Accha...bacche ek baat bata..teri date ka kya hua...

Karishma couldn't stop a smile forming on her lips and nor a little blush which spread across her cheek.

Karishma- Baat hoti hai unse abhi bhi...bas miley nahi hai bohut din ho gaye..

She fidgeted with her spoon and then fed herself some oats which she usually had as her breakfast.

K's mom- accha...Haseena...yehi naam bataya tha na?

Karishma- Ji..

K's mom- toh ek kaam kar na..tu usey kal lunch pey bulaley...aisey meri usse pehchan bhi ho jayegi aur tum dono thora saath me time bhi spend kar paoge...kyun?

Karishma was flustered. She looked at her mom with wide eyes and an open mouth.

K's mom (teasing)- Aise kyun dekh rahi hai?

Karishma (fumbling)- toh aur kaa karein? Nahi matlab hamein unse miley sirf 1-2 haftey hi hua hai...aur Haseena ji busy bhi hongi...

K's mom (😑)- Kyun jhoot bol rahi hai? Kal toh tum logo ki chutti hai na?

Karishma (lying)- Hamari hai amma..lekin Haseena ji ki toh nahi hai...

K's mom- Accha? Laga phir ussey phone..zara poochley mere saamne..ki chutti hai ya nahi...

Karishma (shocked)- Aapko kaa ho gaya hai?

K's mom- Mujhe kya hoga?? Mai toh tere liye hi keh rahi thi...! Mujhe laga tu usey miss karne lagi hai...kal maine tujhe uske photo ko ghoorte huye dekha tha toh isliye laga...

Her mother blurted out.

Karishma spilled her drink over the table as she choked on it.

Karishma (shy+embarrassement)- Aap hamari jassosi kar rahin thi amma?

K's mom (stuttering)- nh..nhi..nhi toh...tu woh sab chor...aur meri baat sun...tu kal usey lunch pey bula rahi hai..tune hi toh kaha tha ki woh tujhe do baar date pey le gayi..toh ab teri baari hai lautane ki...aur yeh mera order hai...bas...

She said and walked inside the kitchen. Karishma looked at her in disbelief. She sighed deeply.

Inviting Haseena for a lunch wouldn't be bad indeed. Karishma smiled to herself and decided to do as her mom said.

After a tiring day at thana that day and no calls from Haseena, Karishma decided to call her. It was late evening and her shift was over. Before she could dial Haseena's number, an idea popped up in her mind.

Smiling to herself she bid goodbye to her team and drove off on her bike.

In Jankipuram thaana, Haseena was packing off for the day. She arranged the file in a stack and was counting. Only one staff, a headconstable had to stay for the night shift. As Haseena was counting the files someone covered her eyes from behind, startling her.

She quickly turned around to find Karishma standing there with a big smile on her face.

Haseena (shocked and scared)- Kya Karishma ji..aapney toh dara hi diya...

Her heart beat at a fast speed.

Karishma chuckled at her reaction and moved closer to her.

Karishma- Aaj aapka night shift hai kaa?

Haseena- Nahi nahi..samir ji (the headconstable) ka hai..ham toh bas pack karke jaa hi rahe the...

She said pointing towards the other man.

Haseena- Waise aap yahan achanak?

Karishma- Haan..bilkul...kyun? Surprise sirf aap hi dey sakti hain..ham nahi?

Haseena smiled at her and nodded.

Haseena- Bilkul dey sakti hain..bas aise jaan mat nikala kijiye...

Karishma- Accha baba sorry..aagey se nahi karenge...vaisey aapka thaana hai bohot badhiya...

Haseena- Hai na? Ham sabne milke jo settle kiya hai...

She said proudly...

Karishma (teasing)- Nahi..lekin hamarey thaana sey behtar nahi hai...

Haseena looked at her with shock.

Haseena- accha ji?

Karishma- Ji bilkul..hamarey thaane me sabkuch hai..ek gym hai, ek record room hai, nawab sahab ka kamra hai...

Haseena- Vaisey sahi kaha aapney..aapka thaana hamare thaane se better hai.

Karishma was surprised to hear this from her.

Karishma- Aur aapko kaahe aisa lagta hai?

Haseena (flirting)- Arey kyunki hamarey thaane me aap nahi hai na..one and only beautiful Karishma Singh...

She shrugged cutely and her statement made Karishma blush and her heart flutter.

Haseena smiled seeing the effect on her. She quickly finished all of her tasks.

Haseena- Ab bas bhi kijiye SI Sahiba..kitna blush karengi...

Karishma realised and composed herself.

Haseena- Hamara kaam toh ho gaya...chaliye...ham aapko ghar drop kar detey hain...

Karishma- Arey nahi nahi...ham bike laayein hai apni..akele chale jayenge...

Haseena- Aap itni mehnat sey hamare liye yahan pey aayin aur ham aapko aisey hi akela chordein..aisa kaise...chaliye aayiye...ham drop karenge aapko...aur rahi baat apke bike ki toh woh aap aaj yahi park kar dijiye..ham kal kisise bhijwa dengey...hmm?

Karishma (😊)- Ji thik hai..

They walked out and finally got on Haseena's jeep. Haseena was driving the car while Karishma either looked outside the window or at Haseena...basically stealing glances at her...

Haseena - Aap kuch kehna chahti hain?

Karishma - Umm...hmm...

Haseena- Toh kahiye na..

Karishma wanted to tell Haseena about the lunch proposal. She was nervous for some reason. She wanted Haseena to accept it and not reject it for some reason. Finally after sometime, she gained the courage and spoke up.

Karishma- Ji..woh..aap bura na maaney toh ek proposal rakhna chahte hain...woh hamari amma aur ham..aapko kal hamarey ghar lunch ke liye invite karna chahtey the...agar aap aayengi toh hamey accha lagega...

Haseena was joyed to know about the proposal.

Haseena- Bura aur ham? Kya baat kar rahin hain Karishma Singh..itni khubsoorat ladki lunch pey bulaaye..

Karishma looked at her with a jolt.

Haseena- Hamara matlab hai..aisa mauka baar baar thori milta hai..uss bahane aunty sey v hamari mulakat ho jaayegi...aur aapke sath v waqt bita lengey..vaise v boht time ho gaya kuch dhang ki baatein kiye huye...

Karishma- Woh toh hai..ek minute...dhang ki baat matlab? Ham aapsey bekar ki baat karte hai??.

Haseena (quickly)- Arey nahi nahi..kya baat kr rahin hai..hamara matlab ham toh sirf case ki baat kartey rehte hai...ham aapkey baare me jaante hi kitna hai...bas aapko aur kareeb sey jaane ki baat kar rahe the...

Karishma- Accha...tab thik hai..

There was silence for sometime. But Karishma kept looking at Haseena's face with awe and adoration. Feeling a constant gaze, Haseena for a brief second looked towards her right to find Karishma staring at her. She immediately blushed hard and looked away towards the road.

Karishma too looked away for a while. She thought to play music while they travelled.

Karishma- Aap gaana sunna pasand karengi?

Haseena- Ji bilkul...hame music bohot pasand hai..khaskar long drive ke time...dil ko bohot sukoon deta hai.

Karishma- Hai na? Hamara v yahi manna hai...hame v gaane bohot pasand hai.

Haseena- Chalo..ek pasand mili..jo ham dono share kartey hain..

Karishma (giggling)- haan.

She turned on a random playlist. Unknown to her it was a romantic Playlist.

🎶🎵Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa lagaaa...

Oh mere sohney ve chadd saari galiyan main...

Naal tere tur chaleyan main...

Le chal mujhko duniyaa sey tu door....🎵🎶

Both looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Haseena's heart stopped beating for a second when she understood the lyrics...

Karishma fidgeted with the phone and it changed to another track.

🎶🎵dheere dheere sey meri zindagi ma aana...

Dheere dheere sey mere dil ko churanaa...

Tumsey pyaar hamein hai kitna jaane jaanaa...

Tumsey milkar tumko hai batanaa...🎵🎶

Karishma was red by then...She turned off her phone which amused Haseena to an extent.

Haseena- Kya hua? Aapko romantic gaaney nahi pasand?

Karishma (flustered)- Pasand hai..lekin abhi yeh sunney ka man nahi hai...

Haseena (chuckling)- aap sharmati bohot hain...

Karishma- Aisa koi baat nahi hai...

Vaise Aapko kaise type ka gaana pasand hai? Ham wohi laga dete hain..

Haseena (flirting)- Hamei toh romantic gaaney hi pasand hai...chandni raat...khubsoorat mahol...thandi thandi hawa ke saath long drive..aur ek khoobsurat ladki ka saath(looking at Karishma)...batayiye...isse zyada aur kisi cheez mey sukoon hai?

Karishma was looking at her with amazement.

Karishma- Aap aaj itna flirt kahe har rahin hai?

Haseena - Flirt aur ham? Nahi toh...ham toh bas aisey hi keh rahe the...hehe...aisi koi baat nahi hai...

Karishma nodded in disappointment with a smile.

Soon they reached Karishma's home. Before Karishma could get off, she heard Haseena say-

Haseena- Kal milengey...aur aapko acchi tarah sey jaanenge...

Karishma turned back and smirked.

Haseena chuckled and waved her a goodbye before driving off.

Karishma- Kal...11 baje...time sey pohunch jayiyega...SHO SAHIBA...

Haseena- Jo hukum mere aaka...

Both broke out a fit of laughter. Finally...Haseena bid her goodbye and left. Karishma smiled to herself widely thinking about the evening that was spent well...She walked inside the house to tell her mother about Haseena's acceptance and to arrange for tomorrow's lunch program.

Hey guys! Thank you for loving my story. Thank you so much for the support!

I need your help. Suggest me a good name for Karishma's mom. It shouldn't be too traditional or too westernized. I hope you understand. Write down some names of which i can choose one. Also...are you okay with i using emojis to describe some emotions?
