"WHO IS CRESCENT???"
Hi everyone, I hope you will be entertained by this part......
Not proofread
In Malik Villa, both Haseena and Karishma are in Haseena’s room. Both were feeding each other from the same plate turn by turn, showering their love upon one another but in utter silence. After the meal, Karishma placed her medicines in front of her including the one in question. Haseena once looked at the medicine and then at Karishma. “Are you sure about this?” her mind asked. “I can’t see Karishma in pain,” her heart responded.
When Karishma saw Haseena gulping down her medicines that moment was making her heart believe that her soul, her world, her Haseena will be fit, healthy and by her side always. And none could be happier than her at that moment. From her lips to her eyes, her smile was spilling out and spreading colors of spring in the ambience. Despite of her inner dilemma, a beautiful smile lingered upon Haseena’s lips too. And the next moment, the room was filled with echoes of their blissful laughter.
Haseena held Karishma’s hands in hers and added with utmost sincerety, “Karishma, you had not failed, either in taking care of my health or in teaching me the importance of life. I have not felt this much urge to live this life and to see all its colors in last ten years as I have been feeling since your entry in my life. You are very precious to me. To express my feelings I have a few lines for you.
Your touch, your smile, your soul,
Mesmerize and entangle me completely
If I had but one ambition, one utter goal,
It would be to stay by your side for eternity.”
She descended down from the bed, sat on her knees, held her ears and continued her confession with bowed head,
“Karishma, I am sorry for giving you this much pain, I am sorry for risking your Haseena’s life, I am sorry for deceiving you and for lying to you. And as per my promise I am ready to accept whatever punishment you find appropriate for the mistake I had done intentionally.”
A silence prevailed in the ambiance, Karishma was looking towards Haseena who was on her knees, holding her ears and bowing her head. She sighed heavily, a tear rolled her eyes, 'punishment.....indeed you have given me the punishment.....and w...worst kind of punishment....nothing is more painful than seeing your loved one dying right in front of your eyes and unable to do anything......" her voice choked in her throat and by then her face had drenched completely.
Haseena lifted her head, Karishma's tears caused havoc in Haseena's heart and sent her in deep trenches of guilt. Her lips trembled and came out "sorry" along with a painful sob and she lowered her eyes next instant.
"Have you realized what would happen if Priya would not have handled the situation? What would be my condition then....No, you haven't..... Because....you...you don't care about me.....You don't...." Haseena at once lifted her head frantically shaking it in negative but Karishma did not stopped her pain had been turned into anger by then and her voice went louder, "Though you don't love me, though you had not thought once before breaking my heart so brutally but I...I still love you and will continue to do that stupidly even if I get nothing but pain in return." With that she stood up and stormed out of the room crying herself and ignoring Haseena's plea, "Karishma.....please....I am sorry.... please don't go..... Karishma...".
Karishma moved out of the villa and straight towards Police station, her eyes were teary and red while anger was rushing through her veins; anger on Haseena for deceiving her, anger on herself for not being able to realize that and most importantly she was angry on her fate that she can't even fully express her anger and pain in front of her Haseena like old times, "if we have been somewhere ten years ago then trust me Haseena I would have punished you so hard but now....I can't even do that because you don't remember any thing.... Because I am not that same Karishma for you, who was bubbly and expressive around you....why?? Why God? I want to cry in my Haseena's arms, I want to hit her, I want to scream at her that she had made me go through near death experience twice.....and now I have no more energy left in me....Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!" She screamed at the top of her voice in hope to lessen her pain a little but nothing worked.
On the otherside, Haseena's condition was no less. Sitting there only, on the floor of her room, she was crying terribly and cursing herself, "No, No Karishma.....you are taking me wrong....I love you.... I love you beyond imagination..... Despite of being forced by every bit of myself to chose crescent I chose you because of my heart......because it refused to beat without you and you are saying I don't care about you.....I....I didn't mean to hurt you....." By then she had been curled into a ball, was continuously crying and mumbling, " I hurted my Karishma..... My Karishma is in pain because of me....." Just then something struck her mind, she got up and ran towards her wardrobe. In no time she took out a belt from it and was rolling it on her hands while mumbling enraged on herself, "I should be punished for hurting my Karishma so much....I must be punished....." with that she raised her hand to hit her, "....but....it will hurt her more.....no, I can't even punish myself to give her more pain....." Reality struck her, belt dropped from her hand, she roared at the top of her lungs in sheer frustration, "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!" Fell down on her knees and started wailing loudly.
A somewhat stable Karishma was working on her table in futile attempt to keep her thoughts away from Haseena when Santu came to her with Haseena's video camera in her hand, "Karishma madam, you will go to Malik villa from here, right? Please can you give that to Haseena madam. Actually, she forgot it here." With creased forehead, Karishma took it from her hand, "what is this, I had never seen Haseena using it...?" She said to herself being confused. "Don't worry Santu, I will handover it to her," Karishma told her seeing her still standing there. Santosh nodded and left from there.
Karishma opened the camera gallery and played latest video,
Today, I had re-joined my duty crescent. A day which was supposed to be the best day of my life had turned the worst.....and all because of me.
"Crescent....? .....video diary....it must be her video diary...." a thought crossed her mind and her breath stuck in her throat. She did not wasted a single moment and rushed towards gym room, closing all it's windows and doors. From the one line she had just heard, the name Crescent, was ringing in her ears and her mind had already made a thousand assumptions regarding it causing her to feel extremely nervous while anticipating the truth.
With shivering hands, she resumed the video,
"Karishma is not at fault. Like everytime, this time too it's me who had messed up everything. Kar....Karishma....she is....she is the most innocent and purest soul I could have ever get.....b...but...I....I lost her....I am of such a bad fate. I wish I could show you the preparations she had made for my welcome but....but one truth had ruined everything..... She had given me the choice that if I want her then I...I have to take that medicine..... I wish I could do that.....I....I can sacrifice my life for her then what importance does my memories holds?"
"why she wanted her memories at the cost of her life..." Karishma mumbled under breath.
"Nothing absolutely nothing….. but what should I do of your right on me..... What should I do of that constant feeling that you are yearning for me as much as I am..... I wish there could be any way by which I could reach to you other than my forgotten memories then I won't have to upset Karishma. What wrong have I done that my fate has no peace and happiness. Now when I have finally started feeling genuinely happy then suddenly I am being forced to choose between you and Karishma. You tell me how this is possible?....b.... But then Karishma.....I....I don't know.what she will do to herself ....she....she is thinking that she failed to teach me importance of life......but that's not true.... that’s really not true…"
"What the hell? Who is this Crescent? And....and what connection does her memories have with meeting her?.....why Crescent is so important that my Haseena chose her on me?" That video opened a long list of unanswered questions and ignited jealousy in Karishma. Jealousy overtook her sanity and anger rose to new heights. Without bothering to check more videos she stormed out of the station, straight to Haseena to confront her face to face.
"Haseena Malik??? Ms. Haseena Malik???" Upon reaching the lounge of the villa, Karishma roared so loudly that her voice could be heard in all corners of the huge villa. Upon hearing Karishma's anger filled loud roar, Haseena rushed towards the lounge hurriedly with bare foot, messy hairs and red eyes. All the house staff also reached there to see the scene.
"Karishma? What happened? What is the reason of this newly raised anger?" Haseena asked the moment he saw her eyes blazing with anger. "Who is Crescent?" Hearing the name all colors of her face fade away while Karishma desperately needed an answer as she was unable to digest the fact that there can be someone else in her Haseena's life for whom she could not only risk her life but also could disregard Karishma.
Haseena once looked at Karishma and then at her house staff's amused faces. Without responding anything she held Karishma and dragged her to her room despite of her struggles.
"Now say whatever you want to?" Haseena asked softly. "Crescent for whom you went against my word, for whom you so desperately wanted your memories that you did not thought once about risking your life, for whom you did not think about my pain....who is she or he, whatever?" Karishma questioned her loudly.
"How you...." Just then her eyes went on her video diary, "you watched my video diary.....How dare...." She pounced upon her angrily and was about to snatch it from her but Karishma jumped back and cut her, "yes, your video diary....thank fully I got it....I just watch the latest one...I will definitely watch the whole....but first I want you to tell about your so called crescent so that I can reach to her and strangle her with my own hands..." With gritted teeth she responded to her.
Haseena was unable to understand Karishma's reaction, "why are you getting so hyper?"
"Wow!! My best friend had given my place to someone else and I shouldn't be hyper!!" Karishma taunted sarcastically leaving Haseena stunned.
"you are getting jealous!!" Haseena added with amused expressions.
Her words put a halt on Karishma's rage and she instantly did a self realization. The next moment, she felt utterly embarrassed and ran out of the room.
Suddenly, the tense atmosphere turned a little amusing for Haseena as she just witnessed her importance in someone's life after a long long time, and it turned a little awkward for Karishma as she is not that open with her feelings to the Haseena who does not remember her and their old bond.
"What have I done? She must be thinking of me as some kind of over possessive lover....you are mad Karishma...... Why you always forget that she doesn't have your memories? She doesn't remember your open, blunt, carefree side...." She paused her voice heavy, she blow air out to manage her tears but they ultimately flowed down as she mumbled, "I am missing being myself around you, Haseena....I desperately wish that old Haseena and Karishma.....Please come back before I lose myself," sitting in a darkened corner of the villa, Karishma was busy with her thoughts.
After almost an hour, a house staff reached to her, "Karishma madam, Haseena madam had called you on pool side." "Hmm... coming!" Karishma responded without turning towards the staff. Few minutes have passed but Karishma did not move from her place. “Mam, sorry to disturb you but Madam Malik has ordered me strictly to bring you along with myself….Please mam,” house staff requested feebly. Karishma took a deep breath, rolled her eyes and added while standing up, “Fine….let’s go.”
Both of them reached to corridor facing the pool side. Standing in front of closed curtains, “Mam, I am not allowed to go further.” With creased forehead, Karishma nodded and she moved away.
“What is she up to?” Karishma asked herself before pressing the button to open the pool side. She was marveled by the sight, her eyes become moist and a beautiful smile lingered on her lips. Pool area was beautifully lit with pole lamps. White balloons floating on blue waters were looking serene. A big Thank you was written with flooting flowers on the water surface, right in the center of the pool. Canopy at the pool side was decorated with fairy lights and balloons. Dressed in black tights and pink crop top, open hairs and holding a guitar in her hand, Haseena was standing on opposite side of the pool facing Karishma.
Soft music had brought Karishma out of her trance and she stepped ahead. Locking her wet eyes with Karishma’s, Haseena started taking slow steps towards Karishma while saying, “Who is Crescent? Where is she? What she is to me? Why I risked my life for her? Before telling you answers to all these questions, I want you to know my feelings for you,” She paused for a moment, repositioned the guitar, looked towards the sky and started singing with her soothing voice.
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
While singing these lines, she moved near Karishma, held her hand, dragged her towards a corner, wrapped her one arm around her shoulder and gestured towards the sky where ‘Thank you Karishma!!’ appeared in multicolors. Karishma once looked at the sky and then towards Haseena who smiled and slightly bowed in front of her.
Nazron se nazarein mili… toh
Jannat si mehki fizaayen
Lab ne jo lab chu liya…. toh
Aasman se barsi duaayen
Aisi apni mohabbat
Aisi rooh e ibaadat
Hum pe meherban do jahaan
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
While singing the above lyrics, she guided Karishma towards a big board, placed on right side and covered with blue curtains. Karishma looked at her confused in response to which Karishma gestured her to unveil it. As she removed the curtains from the board, a digital art appeared.
It was a picture in the background in which Karishma was chasing Haseena who was running in the middle of the garden full of flowers while giving a teasing smile to her. On the picture, a few lines have started moving in upward direction, “Your arrival bring me back to life, Karishma. In past ten years, I have always wished death from Almighty. Then you entered in my life and your efforts and dedication towards my health and well being motivated me to live again. I have started wishing life, a life with your friendship. Now, Haseena Malik owes her life to you, Karishma Singh.” By the time Karishma finished reading, a huge smile was lingering on her lips and her face was drenched with tears.
Teri baahon mein yeh jism khil gaya
Teri saanson mein chain mil gaya
Kaise rahe ab hum judaa
hoo hoo…
Tere pass hum itne hue
Tere khawab apne hue
Aise hue ab hum fidaa
Aisi uski inaayat
Mit gayi har shikaayat
Hum pe meherbaan do jahaan
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Shukran Allah wallah hamdul illah
Wohh… Allahhhh… Shukran Allah
Ohh hooo Allahhh….hooo.. Shukran Allah
With teary eyes and choking voice, Haseena started singing next lines while stepping backwards but her eyes were glued to Karishma, letting Karishma see her heart through them.
Tere saaye mein mili har khushi
Tere marzi meri zindagi
Le chal tu chaahe jahaan
Ha haan
Meri aankhon mein nazar teri hai
Meri shaam o sher teri hai
Tu jo nahi to main kahaan
Khil gayi meri kismat
Paake teri yeh chaahat
Hum pe meherbaan do jahaan
Upon reaching at the farthest end of the pool, Haseena pressed a button and ‘I am Sorry’ appeared with blue lightening. She fell down on her knees, joined her hands, bowed her head and continued singing the above lyrics.
Karishma was feeling herself on cloud nine. She was so overwhelmed with Haseena’s gesture that without waiting for a single second she just ran to her, fell on her level, wrapped her arms around her and started crying on her shoulder. Both were crying and consoling by rubbing each other’s backs, at the same time.
Haseena brought her out of her hold, wiped her tears, kissed Karishma’s hands and added, “Karishma I have not been following your words all this while to hide my deceit but because of your place in my heart. You have revived this Haseena Malik back to life, it was neither crescent nor anybody else. If you have not been there, I….i don’t know what would have I done to myself….. Please, Karishma, please never ever think that I have given your place to someone else. You have your own place.”
Karishma looked in her eyes and found nothing except love and sincerety.
She nodded but could not hold herself from asking, “Then who is crescent?” she asked with a cute pout.
At which Haseena chuckled and placed the guitar on a side, held her hand and together they walked towards the pool.
How's the part?
