With the passage of time karEena's interactions and fondness towards each other increasing.
Calling each other best friend and spending studious time together is nowadays their habit.

One fine day in Mallik
mension >>♡︎

"Hasee beta kaha hoon aajao lunch karne...!!" Aadil mellowed while arranging the dinning table.

"Aayii" a voice heard from one of the room.

Waiting for her when Haseena didn't come , so he thought to read newspapers until she came.

"Abbuu hum aa gayee" He heard her jolly yet bubbly voice which automatically bring a smile on his face.

"Chalo lunch kar lete hain apki favt dish banayi hain humne princess" he said without removing his gaze from the newspaper.

"Abbu hamare taraf dekhiye na...jaldiii" she wailed up childishly. Aadil look up and become surprise seeing his daughter at this state. "Kiya hain yeh sab beta?"

Haseena wearing a dupatta in her head , apply little lipstick , a bindi between her eyebrows ; she got ready like a bride.
"Abbu hum kaise lag rahe hain?" she said helding the dupatta from either side , spinning around showing him perfectly.

"Ekdam perfect !!" Aadil smiled warmly and gesture her to come here. She sat on his lap hugging him. He pat on her head. "Yeh sab kiya hain haan?" he asked suspicious by her act.

Haseena sheepishly gigles, "Humne na tv pe dekha tha dulhan kitni sundar lagti hain...hume shaddi karni hain abbu jisse hum dulhan ki tarah tayyar hoon sakee...!!" she insisted.

Aadil was just speechless by her statement, "Kiya...shaddi karni hain?"

Haseena shook her head confirming her previous words. "Abbuu hume shaddi karni hain....karao na hamari shaddi...!!" holding his hand start jerking him on repeat.

Aadil chuckled at her, "Jab ap badi hoon jaogi na tab hum apki shaddi bohot dhumdham se denge" he sweetly kiss on her cheek "Kitni pyaari lagegi hamari beti dulhan ke shringar mein...belkul apni ammi jaisi hoon tum unhi ki jaisi soorat aur unhi ki jaise seerat bhi...!!"

Haseena smiled with shinning eyes, "Succhiii abbu?"

"Haan !!"

Haseena , "Abbu hum bade kab honge dulhan banne ke liye?"

Aadil , "Umm...bohot jald"

Haseena , "Hum abhi bade nahi hoon sakte kiya🙁?"

Aadil , "Par sab kuch ka ek waqt hota hain...apne waqt ko thoda sa aur waqt doon bohot jald badi hoon jaogi phir...!!"

Haseena nodded as if she understood everything. But his words go over her head, it was very confusing but Haseena didn't disclose about her not understanding the matter as she want to grown up soon. If she disclose it , her father will say "Dekha tum ab bhi baachi hoon...grow up phir shaddi kara dungaa...!!"

Haseena , "Jab hum shaddi karenge na tab kishu ko bhi apne saath le jayenge..."

aww how innocent she is !!

Aadil nonanchantly gigles, "Aisa nahi hoon sakta tumhe usse peech chodke jaana hoga...!!"

Haseena asked with bewilderment, "Aisa kyu?? Hum unhe chodke kyu jaaye?"

Aadil knows she wouldn't understand anything but still told the truth of the every married gurl's , "Kyuki shaddi ke baad ladkiyon ka sasural hi unka apna ghar hota hain...saare rishtey unhe peeche chodne padte hain aur apne sohar ke saath naya safar teh karna padta hain....

tumhari ammi bhi hamare liye sab kuch chodke aayi thi unka ghar, ammi , abbu, parivaar , unka sab kuch chodke aaye the hum dono ke liye....!!"

Haseena innocently yet stubbornly debate , "But kishu best friend hain hamari woh chal sakti hain na hamare saath?"

Aadil twist his lips as he said , "Nahi...nahi jaa sakti kyuki uski bhi tho shaddi hoon jayegi na woh bhi apne sasural chali jayegi....!!"

"Nhi kishu hume chodke nahi jayegi" Haseena said with quivering lips.

"Aree princess roo kyu rahi hoon" He cups her cheeks and softly wipe off those tears "Yeh tho duniya ki ritt hain koi nahi badal sakta isse...!!"

Haseena stoop up immediately, "Phir hume shaddi kabhi nahi karni.." she unlatch the dupatta which was attached to her hairs through hairpins and ends up to throw it on ground jerkly "Hume dulhan nahi banna...!!"

she steps backward with brimming eyes & quivering lips.

Aadil , "Hasee beta"

But she was gone already embracing tears in her eyes. A little one's heart broken into million peices just cause of the so called ritt of the society.

Par kiya usse pata hain ki yeh tho bas ek suurvaat hain...asli jung tho abhi baki hain,

Ansun bohot milenge raaho mein jab khud kudrat hi apko majboori ki janjire mein jakarke rakhenge.....!!

"Ammma!!" karishma marched in and called for her mother. "Amma kaha hain ap?" she called her again.

"Ama dheere kishu itna kahe chilla rahe hoon hum rasori ghar mein hain !!" Pushpa ji voiced back from kitchen.

Following her voice, karishma appeared there instantly, "Amma" (panting heavily).

Pushpa ji in irk way , "Kiya hua phirse robot ke liye zidd karoge na tho dekhna....iss month ko kuch nahi milega tumhe samjhi...!!"

Karishma smack her forhead , "Ohoo amma aisa nahi hain hume robot nahi chahiye kuch aur chahiye...!!"

With that her hands stop working as she turn to glance at her daughter , wondering what she need now.

"Kiya chahiye?" she turn again and resume her work.

Karishma , "Party chahiye....hume chrishtmas celebrate karna hain !!"

"Par chrishtmas tho kabka chala gaya hain ab tho new year bhi aa gaya tab tho kuch nahi kaha tha ki karna hain celebrate phir ab kiya hoon gaya aisa..!!" She pointed out and wait for the little one's answer.

Karishma move her eyeballs upwards to downwards then back to forth as she sheepishly said before thinking something deeply , "Kyuki hume chahiyee matlb party chahiyee....!!"

"Amma plsss" she hugging her mother from waist , so innocently requested that the latter couldn't bring herself saying to no.

Pushpa ji breath out but shook her head making karishma jump in happiness "Yuppyyyy...i love you ammaa !!"

"Amaa hum hasee ke ghar jaa rahe hain byee" this was the last words, pushpa ji heard from her after that.

"Haseee!!!" Aadil hearing karishma's calling her name , come outside.

Karishma , "Uncle hasee kaha hain?"

Aadil , "Woh tumhare pass nahi gayi? Woh ghar pe nahi hain agar waha bhi nahi gayi tho kaha gyi woh??"

he worriedly mumbled.

Karishma sadly eyeing him left in the search of her without turning once.

Aadil was calling her from behind but she already left.

"Yeh baache bhi na ek nhi sunte kisi ke...dono ke dono same hain" he tensly breathed out.
