Tu Jo Mila 💕 (KarEena Shorts) - Chapter 15: Chapter 15

After ending the call with Shivani, Karishma looks around and sits on a bench near a tea stall... While sipping the tea , She hears a group of people, gathering there , gossiping about the most heated topic of these days......
"Are dekho dekho , Daroga Karishma Singh.. , kya kahte thein inko "Bhaukal Queen" , 🤣🤣🤣 , gayi inki bhaukal...🤣"
"Are haaa haa inki wo senior, hadkadi laga ke rakh diye hain inki bhaukal ko 🤣..."
"Kya naam hain unka , haa Haseena Mallik, jo aaj Chingari Gang ke Shivani ke samne haat jod kar maafi mangi 🤣🤣..."
"Inke Thane mein to ab koi case bhi nahi aata hain , bechare ....🤣🤣"
"Haseena Mallik to outdated ho gayi , ab to Lucknow ki har gali mein ek hi naam gunjta hain , Chingari Gang aur Shivani Pawar ...."
Karishma gets irritated on hearing these rubbish words... How can people forget easily the contribution of their station to the society?? They've got such an audacity to make fun of her openly... Moreover , They're calling her Maddam Sir outdated? Yes , She is upset with her now-a-days... They're going through a conflict in between them , but how can She tolerate her insult ? That's too in comparison with that so called Shivani Pawar???
"But don't you already tolerate it on todays morning? "
Karishma hears a sudden deep voice that brings her back to reality... She realises that She has already left that tea stall and now she is sitting under the shelter of an old Banian tree🌲... Then She turns around, looking for source of the voice and finds a monk , sitting beside her with a stick....
"Pranam Swamiji ..." Karishma takes blessings from him...
"Humare prasna ka uttar nahi diya , putri ?" Monk asks
"Hum khud inte saare prasna mein uljhe huye hain ki humko kuch samajh hi nahi aaraha hain , Swamiji ...." Karishma answers with a sigh
"Humne to suna , Karishma Singh kisi bhi paristhiti mein kabhi haar nahi manti hain ?" Swamiji furrows his brows
"Par jab ladai aapno se ho ...." Karishma mumbles feebly
" Jab ladai aapne aap se ho , tab humesha jeetna chahiye ,
par jab Ladai aapno se ho to haarna bhi sikhna chahiye..."
Monk remarks with a pleasant smile , making Karishma to look at him , being amazed
"Dekho Putri ..." Swamiji continues
"Jab kathin paristhiti aati hain na , tab aapko lagta hain ki Bhagwan aapke saath galat kaarahein hain , lekin nahi , uss wakt aapko wahi paristhiti ki zarurat thi , isiliye wo aaya hain aapke jivan main , aapko sikh dene ke liye ..."
Swamiji once looks at her facial expressions keenly and then again adds
" Putri , it needs maturity and wisdom to start seeing behind the scenes ... Why this person is behaving like that ? Why is she not treating me right ? And if you do that , believe me , my daughter , your love for whoever you love will go so deep , and your relationship with her will be so profound because it's based on maturity , not judgementalism... "
It's again an amusement for Karishma , as His each and every words affects her , so deeply, that She can't find how can he exactly describe her present situation ....
"Aapko kaise ..." Karishma wants to asks , but she can't complete ...
Before that , the monk smiles and says
"Keeping quiet is not the solution , it only accelerates misunderstandings ..."
He then adds with a determined tone
" So , do it , do it , my daughter , just do it "
And Karishma's hands automatically grabs her cellphone , She opens the chat bar and sends a text to Haseena
" Come to Gomti river
I'll be there in next 30 mins "
After sending the text , Karishma again comes back to her senses , and to her utter surprise , she can't find the Monk now ...
"Swamiji kaha hain aap ???"
Karishma calls him , but unfortunately He is nowhere to be seen.......
Haseena's phone beeps with a notification sound as she gets ready to leave the station, after duty hours....
She checks it and gives a strange look on noticing Karishma's chat ...
"Abhi to thodi der pahle Santu ko phone kiya unhone hi chor pakda gaya hain and usko Headquarters mein bhi vej diya gaya hai.... Aur Cheetah ko bhi release kar diya gaya hain... To fer kya message veja hain Karishma Singh ne ?" She thinks to herself and opens the chat bar .....
"Gomti Nadi ??" She furrows her brows on reading the chat "Inhe firse kya ho gaya?" She mumbles and replies back
" Coming.."
She then instructs Pushpaji to handle the station , also to take care and Cheetah and leaves for the River bank ......
" Ruk jao , ruk jaoooo"
Haseena stops the car in sudden, as a woman in her mid 30s , waves her hands to stop her
"Thora lift mil sakta hain Madam ? Wo humhe Gomtinagar jana hain ... Aur koi bhi car nahi mil raha hain .." The woman pleads
"Ji ji , zaroor , hum bhi usi taraf ja rahein hain" Haseena says and asks her to boards on the car
"Aap to Haseena Mallik hain na Mahila Police Thane ki SHO ?" The woman asks as She adjusts herself in the passenger seat
"Jii " Haseena replies while starting the car
"Aap log to ab bahot pareshan rahte hain na Chingari Gang ke karan ?"
The woman asks casually but it results falling down of Haseena's face.....
All the incidences from the morning starts to flash back in her mind , She gets so much tensed that it becomes visible on her face...
"This too shall pass , my sister "
She assures , keeping her hand on Haseena's shoulder , that makes Haseena to turn towards her
"I know it sounds cliche but it's the fact , wakt ka to yahi fitrat hai , badalta rahta hai... Isiliye to kahte hain ki acche wakt se itna pyar maat karo kyunki wo guzar jayega aur bure wakt se itna ladai maat karo kyunki wo bhi guzar jayega... Kya pata future mein tum iss din ko yaad karke muskurao ?" She adds
Haseena gives a fake smiles to her
"Wakt to aisa aaya ki , paraye to paraye , yaha aapne bhi chod ke ...." Haseena mumbles but doesn't complete it , because it gets suppressed by the woman's word
" Aapno se shikayat hain ? Then let's me tell you something first ..."
She looks at Haseena and continues
"Listen sister , nothing ever changes and deepens just with time.... Everything that you want in your life , you've to make them happen.... Good relationships don't happen , you've to make it happen, Happiness doesn't happen, you've to make it happen... Relationship is not about taking , it's about giving.... Love doesn't happen when we want to be valued , Love happens when we walk some extra miles to feel the other valued..... and in this process , suddenly you'll start realising what you wanted from them is coming back towards you ...."
The words of the lady , makes Haseena to engross deeply in her thoughts ...
" Zindagi mein agar koi aisa dost ho jo aapki dil ki baat aise samjhe jaise medical store wale Doctors ke handwritings , to usko sambhal ke rakhiye Haseena Madam"
The lady says playfully , making Haseena almost shocked .....
"Aapne shocked phase se bahar aayiye aur Gari rokiye Madam , Gomti Nadi aachuki hain "
The lady again asks to which Haseena comes back in her senses and stops the car .....
"Aapka naam kia hain ?" Haseena asks her , as She is about to leave
"Umaa "
The lady replies with a gentle smile and leaves from there ...............
"Karishma Singh , kaha hain aap ?"
Haseena calls her , as she can't find her... She sits on a step and looks at the river... Her mind reminds the previous memory when they were here together ( Tu Mileya part of this story ) and a gentle smile creeps in her lips...
"Maddam Sir ..." Karishma appears suddenly from behind almost startling Haseena....
"Aise kaun aata hain ?" Haseena says while panting , keeping her one hand near her chest
"Aur ye kia aapne humare liye icecream layi hain ? Wo bhi strawberry???" Haseena asks as Karishma gives her a strawberry flavoured icecream
"Pata hain aapko nahi pasand , firbhi lijiye..."
Karishma says , after passing the icecream cone to Haseena , and then sits beside her with another same cone in her hand ...
"Aree aapne apne liye bhi strawberry laayi hain ? Lekin kyun ? Aapko bhi to nahi pasand!!!!!"
Haseena asks being clueless
"Shant Maddam Sir , Shant.... Aap suru kijiye hum batate hain.."
Karishma replies as she starts to eat the cone
"Maddam sir , aapko strawberry cone dene ka taatparya ye hain ki Jeevan mein humesha wosab nahi hota hain , Jo humhe pasand ho ; firbhi we've to go through it... Humhe uss kathin paristhiti ko swikar karke usse ladna hota hain...." Karishma answers making Haseena hell surprised...
"Aur humara strawberry cone ka taatparya hain ki paristhithi kitna bhi bimukh ho , Hum humesha aapke saath hain..."
As Karishma finishes , Haseena becomes jaw dropped for a moment ...
"Muh band kijiye , maakhi ghus jayegi " Karishma teases 🤭 and hits her arm playfully
"Aap ...." Words get stucked in Haseena's throat , She can't able to speak...
"Pahle khaa lijiye Maddam Sir , pighal jayegi nahito ..." Karishma says and gestures her to take it ....
They finishes the cones silently..... Karishma intentionally remains silent as She wants Haseena also to open up , like She has done....
Haseena thinks for a moment , closing her eyes , reminding all of their memories and the ladies words...
She suddenly gets up from her place , goes in front of Karishma , kneels down holding her ears
"Ye aap kya karrahi hain Maddam Sir !!!!" Karishma becomes totally shocked on seeing this... She instantly gets up and tries to stand Haseena straight , removing her hands from her ears
But Haseena doesn't allow her to do so , being so much stubborn for the time ...
"I'm sorry Karishma .... Uss sabke liye jisse aapko bura laga ho , jisse aapke dil ko thes paucha ho , aur jisse aapke izzat pe daag laga ho..."
She says bowing her head....
"Aap pahle uthiye Maddam Sir..." Karishma tries her best but Haseena makes her to be failed again....
"Humne hi kaha tha ki humara aapaska maatbhed , votings ke results , kabhi humare dosti ke beech nahi ayegi.... Par hum hi use nibha nahi payen... Najane pichle mahine se kya kuch nahi bolte aaye hain hum aapko , wo bhi without any justification..... Aur usika anjam aaj hum bhugat rahein hain .... Itne kamzor pad gaye hum , itna akelapan pahle kabhi mahsoos nahi kiya hum.. humne.. "
Haseena's voice starts to tremble , her eyes starts to brim , as emotions engulfs her completely
"So , Karishma can you forgive me ? I'm missing you so badly , believe me ...🥺 Humhe zarurat hain aapki Karishma ; I was wrong when I said I didn't need you... I was such an idiot... Anger and ego overpowers me at that time fully... aur isi gusse ke liye... Hum aapko humesha rokte aaye hain ... Dekhiye ye gussa humhe bhi nahi chora... "
Haseena breaks down completely in front of Karishma , after finishing it...................
"I'm also sorry Maddam Sir ..."
Haseena looks up on listening it and sees Karishma in front of her as same as her.... Kneeling down and holding her ears with brimming eyes
"Humne bhi to kya kuch nahi kaha aapko... Hum to aapko pahle din se sunate aarahein hain , aur aap chupchap sunti aarahi hain ; par jab khud same situation ka saamna kiya , tab samajh me aaya ki how painful it is...
Hum to aapko maaf kar denge , but do you also forgive me ? Aapko akela mehsus karane ke liye , aapko durbal mehsus karane ke liye , aur... aur aaj subha aapko Shivani ke samne jhukte huye bhi kuch na kar pane ke liye ???" Karishma asks , with her flowing eyes , smiling painfully 🥺
"Please aise maat boliye Karishma .." Haseena moves her head sideways and throws herself into Karishma's embrace , clutching her tightly 🫂
"Hum humesha aapke saath hain Maddam Sir"
Karishma says , rubbing Haseena's back , "Aur jabtak hum saath hain , tabtak koi chingari humare Thane ka kuch nahi bigad payega... Humna aapke aur uss Shivani Pawar ke beech mein chattan banke khade rahenge.."
She starts strocking Haseena's hairs lovingly and kissing it gently
"Aur humesha yaad rakhna , You're The Haseena Mallik , Humari Maddam Sir , who never give up.."
She slowly breaks the hugs and cups Haseena's face
"You're the inspiration of many girls , you're my hero , and untill Karishma Singh is with you , dargers should fear to touch you "
"Chingari aur unki maroon ek bijli ki jhalak hain jo kuch der tak hi rahta hain , par Kanoon aur khaki ek jalta huya Suraj hain... Aur bijli ko kabhi na kabhi Suraj ke saamne jhukna hi padega.... Shivani ne aapko unke saamne jhukaya hain na aaj ; agar hum ekdin aapke saamne , uski poori chingari ko na jhukaya na , to humara naam bhi Karishma Singh nahi ..."
Karishma says with determination , holding Haseena's hands tightly
Finally Haseena smiles a little ,
She says "Karishma humne aapki pahchan , aapki bhaukal ko kabhi aapse cheenna nahi chaha... Hum bas aapke gusse ko control karna chaha... Humhe pata hain hum bohot rude ho gaye the.... Par humra biswas kijiye , hum..."
"Aapka daatna bhi , humesha humare kaam hi aata hain Maddam Sir..." Karishma replies and makes Haseena to stand straight
At the very next moment , a boy comes with two butterscotch cones and gives it to Karishma ... Karishma takes it and thanks the boy before his departure ...
"Karishma, ye phirse ...? Aur issbar butterscotch?" Haseena asks , again being clueless...
"Issbar ka taatparya ye hain ki , agar hum saath ho , to , kisi bhi mukhkil situation se ladke usko sahi kar sakte hain... Jaise ki ye butterscotch cones, humdono ka favourite , yaniki hamari jeet ..." Karishma answers with sparkling eyes ✨
This makes Haseena to smile wholeheartedly ,
She takes the cone , holds Karishma's hands and comes down to the steps .............
" Gomti Nadi has witnessed so much of us... isn't it?"
Haseena asks , while having the cone and keeping her head on Karishma's shoulder
"Ye sahi hain... Ab next time se yahi ayenge agar phirse ladai hogayi too ...." Karishma says playfully and the duo chuckles together .................................
