The flirting was too much fun, but since it turned serious, I wanted to continue with it's light hearted flavour.
PS : Though Babita's anger was exaggerated, Poonam also went slightly overboard with the pulling and all😆
OS
"Hanuman Singh Ji!" it struck her suddenly.
She got up hurriedly and thought about how terrible she'd behaved with him. How much had she hurted him, by asking for proofs of his love against and again, hiding behind her own insecurity and inferiority complexities.
She ran downstairs, adding to the confusion of the ladies.
Naeem Bi didn't stop her, nor did Mini. Babita had made mistakes and she had to rectify them.
She quickly walked upto him, breathing heavily.
He looked away and started walking, when she cut his steps and held her ears.
And used the one and only most powerful weapon - her innocent puppy face. It always melted him, she knew it made him feel weak. Hanuman Singh, the mighty thaanedaar, couldn't face these cute little faces of mother daughter.
But, he still looked away. Her expression changed, as she realised it was much deeper than what she'd thought. He turned around and stood, arms crossed, eyes hurt.
He took a step ahead, only to be jerked back. She held on firmly to his hand, from behind, startling him.
Kaisa tera pyaar kaisa gussa hai tera
Tauba sanam, tauba sanam
Tauba sanam, tauba sanam...
The radio at the nearby shop sprang into action, once again depicting their thoughts.
"Kya aap apni iss buddhu si hone waali makan maalkin ko maaf nahi kar sakte, ek aakhri baar?" she said, feeling really bad.
He turned around. She still had his hand in her grip.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.
"Aakri baar," he said softly, and smiled with his eyes shining.
He looked around, and saw distant boys staring at them. Though the area was deserted, but still, the mohalla people were lurking around in the distance.
He loosened his grip and let her go.
"Poonam ko chedne mein toh sharam nahi aayi aapko?" she said, half pissed, half chuckling.
And she grabbed his arm instantly, as they walked towards the Haveli.
