Hi everyone! Eid Mubarak to all of you.  

Shorya entered their room to find Karishma sleeping an uncomfortable half-lying position with the support of back rest of her bed, hugging the same album tightly with tear stricken face. He sighed deeply at the edge of door and thought to himself, "Though our marriage is not out of love but an arranged setup. Neither I love you nor you love me but we care and respect each other and the very care cause sheer pain in my heart when I saw you spending days and nights in her memories. I can't tell you how helpless I feel that despite being your husband, your doctor, and your only secret keeper for the last ten years, I am still not allowed in your core-shell, I am not allowed to erase your pain." Wiping away his wet eyes, helplessly he stepped closer to her and put his hand on her shoulder waking her up with a jerk, "Relax!! It's me Shorya." "Oh!! Shorya ji when had you arrived?" She said at once getting up. "Long ago....Amma was worried about you so she had called me," he responded watching her looking down fidgeting with her fingers. Raising his arms to rub her shoulder, he added, "Don't worry I had made her understand and had sent her to rest. I was coming to you after that but then I saw you writing your diary so I though not to disturb you." Karishma looked at him with wet eyes and an acknowledging smile, "Thank you!" she mumbled softly yet genuinely. "I think you should freshen up until then let me take out your clothes," Karishma said while moving towards the wardrobe. Shorya nodded sat on the bed and started opening his laces, thinking something he started, "Can I ask you something?" "Hmm" she responded casually. "I can see that your longingness for her is now unbearable for you, why don't you go to her?" "I don't know where she is now." She responded after a long pause with the stiffened body. He chuckled, "Really, the great S.I. Karishma Singh is saying this......if you want to you can do it in a flash of a second." "If I want to....." Karishma added and let out a sarcastic laugh, "You knew it already.....then why you are asking me again." "Because I think it's a long time.....and it is not necessary that things would have been same as they were ten years ago..." "Please Shorya, It does not matter how much I am suffering at least she is alive.....if I went in front of her she could even lose her life......are you understanding this....i know Shorya....I am stuck in past and because of me even you and Amma both are suffering.....even if I try to I won't be able to move ahead of her and neither I could reunite with her......but I do not want you to stick with me whole life.....Get yourself married again and start a family with someone who could keep you happy," Karishma shouted frustrated at him. "you had lost all hope.....I had not....I don't know how but I am sure about one thing that very soon the very God who had snatched Haseena from your fate will once again put her back in your lap.......and as far as my happiness is concerned then it is only with you," Shorya added looking straight in her eyes with a confident voice and then moved to Washroom, taking his clothes from her hands, leaving her behind with her thoughts.

The next day, in woman Police Station Lukhnow, Santosh was standing on the stool tying the banner on the nail at the wall right in front of the main door saying WELCOME in big bold letters. Pushpa ji was helping her standing beside her, Cheetah was not in the station. Karishma was sitting at her desk holding a file, pretending to be busy but was feeling extremely restless, switching her legs again and again, opening and closing the file getting more and more irritated, at last she gave up and went out of Police Station. "Pushpa ji, I think she did not want us to decorate this and she is getting upset, I don't want to do upset her..." Santosh said feeling bad. "No....if such were the case, she wouldn't have allowed you in the first place.....there is something else," Pushpa ji said getting drowned in her thoughts. "You should go and talk to her, you are her mother-in-Law, and she respects you and loves you....she will share with you," Santosh said getting down from the stool. Pushpa ji smiled helplessly and added, "It's of no use, she will listen to me and will respect my every word.....but she won't share her heart with me......it's better to let her be." Santosh nodded and they resumed with their decorations.

Drewing a trolley bag behind her, wearing goggles, looking into her mobile, dressed in blue denim and white off-shoulder top looking absolutely gorgeous, she walked out of the airport. Just then a middle-aged three-piece suited man with a light beard came, "Good Morning Mam!" Hearing him, she stopped tucked her goggles in her open hair, left her bag and greeted back with a smile, "Good morning Mr. Hassan Shah." He gestured the driver to put the bag in the car and he himself opened the back door of the black BMW for her. He sat in the front seat beside the driver who started the ignition. "Move directly to Woman Police Station, Lukhnow," Haseena added politely to which they nodded.

As they started their journey, towards Police Station, passing through Highways, main roads, significant buildings, and famous markets Haseena was looking out of her side of the mirror keenly observing each and every thing with a stranger's eyes as if finding some lost pieces in those crowded up busy places. They have covered almost half-way, and suddenly she started sweating and her hands started trembling. She was feeling suffocated reflexively she had at once opened the mirror to breathe in some fresh air but the feeling of uneasiness was not evading, "Mam, are you alright?" Mr. Shah asked getting worried seeing her condition. They were broad other-wise empty road except people are walking on the footpath, before Haseena could respond him, they heard screaming of a lady, "Help! Help!" forgotten herself she at once started looking here and there to identify the source of the voice when she saw a lady sitting at driving seat of the car behind them trying to control the car while a two-year-old boy sitting beside her was crying vigorously. "Driver, keep the car beside her car." She ordered her driver. "Mam, what happened?" Haseena asked through her as both the cars were now driving side by side. "Brake.....they are not working.....please help." That lady screamed in panic. "Mam, relax....stop screaming you are scaring you, child.....I will help you." Haseena said and she nodded. "But mam..." her manager tried to say something but Haseena stopped him through the gesture of her hand and ordered the driver, "Stop the car," which he did. "Mr. Shah! Come at back seat with me....and driver you have to keep the car close to her car constantly."

"Mam, try to keep your speed constant and open the back door of my side.....i need to enter in your car," Haseena told to which she nodded and did as it is. Ignoring her manager's constant attempts to stop her, she opened the door of her running car, stood up holding the edge of the car ceiling, and moved her upper body out of the car. With her other hand, she opened the door of another side of the car, while seeing her, all the colors of her manager's face fade away. There, with one push ahead, Haseena hung herself to the other car for half a second by holding ceiling edge and door of other car before moving inside, causing a sigh of relief for her manager and driver. She then unlocked the seat belt of baby and held him in her arms, ignoring his cries, she added, "Mr. Shah! Hold the baby." He nodded and moved towards the open door of the moving car, forwarding his hands out of the car towards Haseena, he held the baby from Haseena's hands and put him inside the car safely, causing the mother to be relieved. "Driver, now bring the car to the other side, I will take over the steering wheel in the meantime you will escort the lady out of the car in the same way.....keep the car closer," Haseena added and everyone complied. Her driver had brought his car to the side of the lady, Haseena was in a half-standing position beside the lady holding the steering wheel in her hand, "keep in mind that you need to remove your foot from the race in last. First open the gate and lift rest of your body out of the car." Following her instructions, that lady did the same. From other side, Mr. Shah had held the lady's arms from both hands. As soon as the lady had removed her foot from race, Haseena had placed her own foot on its place still standing. That lady had held the edge of the ceiling of Haseena's car and Mr. Shah had withdrawn her inside the car, the other side, Haseena had herself settled at the driving seat of the car whose brakes are failed. Not only this, two reporters who were passing by these cars on a bike had filmed the entire adventurous rescue mission.

Though the lady and her child were saved Haseena was now in danger. She tried pulling her hand brake but it came in her hand resulting in the car being completely out of control. "Mam, try to decrease the speed.....I am trying to connect to the rescue team..." Shah shouted loudly. "No need for any rescue team....." Haseena responded a bit louder and drove straight at constant speed towards the tree at road turn BOOM! "Mam!" He shouted horrified at the upcoming, applying the brakes they all ran towards Haseena including the reporters who was filming everything. The sudden impact though caused the car to stop but its whole front crashed and the glasses broke into zillion pieces. Before they could reach to her, Haseena herself came out of the car, a small cut at forehead, small glass pieces pierced in her hands and lower arms.

"Oh my God! Mam.....Let's go you need immediate medical aid," He said worriedly indicating her to sit in the car. "Thank you so much, mam.....i can't even imagine what could have happened if you had not saved us," that lady added with folded hands fully of gratitude. "Even we are amazed....you had rescued her like professionals......you are very brave," reporter said expressing himself. Haseena passed them a slight smile and added, "No need to thank me....it was my duty," Haseena responded and was about to move away. "Duty?" that lady asked. "Haseena Malik- S.H.O Woman Police Station Lukhnow....i was going to take charge there only." She responded calmly with a smile, least affected by her wounds. "Haseena Malik.....i have heard this name somewhere...." One reporter said thinking when another responded, "Haseena Malik, man, famous as Lady Immortal...." "Absolutely.....you are indeed one......You are transferred to Lukhnow....it is indeed a breaking news for both common people and criminals." The reporter added with a wide smile to which Haseena responded with just a nod. "Look, right now I am in a hurry....excuse me!" she said and moved towards her car. "Mam, let's first move to Hospital...you need immediate medical aid," Shah said opening the car door for her. "Mr. Shah! I'll see to my injuries. Right now, you will go with the lady till her destination, safely," she ordered sitting inside. "But mam!" "Enough, Mr. Shah! Learn to listen to my orders in my first call....or it won't be good to you." She reprimanded her. "Sorry mam," he responded looking down. "Hmm.....go ahead driver!" she commanded him who started the ignition and drove away.

On another side, in the woman Police Station Lukhnow, Karishma, though feeling a strange restlessness, was trying to focus on the files, ignoring the other three members of her team who were enthusiastically preparing for the arrival of their new S.H.O. "Pushpa ji, why she hasn't arrived yet?" Cheetah asked seeing the wall clock. Karishma closed the file in her hand and started searching another, "Santu! Where is the file of Sharma's case?" "Madam, it's in record room....let me get you," Santosh said moving towards the record room. "It's okay...I'll get it myself," Karishma said with a creased forehead. Before she could move towards the record room, her restlessness increased. To overcome she wiped away sweat bands from her forehead and drank a glass of water in one go. "Karishma....i ...I mean Madam....What happened are you alright?" Pushpa ji asked getting worried. "I... I...don't know...I was feeling as if .....Like.....like....something is going to happen." "What does it mean? Should I call the doctor?" Pushpa ji said getting panic. "Amma, Amma, relax!! Sit here...I am absolutely fine.....i am just feeling a bit restless....nothing else," Karishma said holding her shoulders. "Are you sure?" "Absolutely....Don't worry," Karishma replied confidently and moved to the record room for taking the file.

Just then, Haseena's BMW stopped outside their Police Station. Hearing the sound, Santosh took the bouquet and they all ran outside. Karishma Singh who was in record room, suddenly felt her restlessness to evade completely instead was replaced by an equally surprising sense of peace, "What has happened to me, today. Earlier I was feeling extremely restless and now completely opposite, a serene peaceful feeling." Leaving the file there only, she started walking out feeling a strange magnetic pull. Haseena stepped down the car while from the entrance of Police Station, they could only see a lady in civil dress. "She is not S.H.O.... she is in civil dress," Santosh assumed. Before they could react more, she turned towards then and they saw Haseena's bleeding wounds. "Oh my God, she is injured." Pushpa ji added and leaped towards her followed by Santosh and Cheetah. "What happened to you? Santu brings first aid. Cheetah informs Karishma madam." Pushpa ji at once ordered them to which both nodded and ran inside without listening to Haseena. "Wait...listen...It's okay....i am fine." Haseena said attempting to free herself from Pushpa ji's strong hold. "What is fine in this? You should have gone to doctor....instead you came to Police Station....nonsense.....what was so necessary that you had ignored these bleeding wounds.....and look at these glass pieces.....they must be paining a lot," Pushpa ji was taking her inside the Police Station as well as scolding her while Haseena went numb upon feeling such motherly affection after so long and that too from an unknown lady.

As Pushpa ji and Haseena had stepped inside the Police Station with Haseena overwhelmingly staring at Pushpa ji. Pushpa ji made Haseena settled on the Chair while Santosh had handed her first-aid. Karishma stepped out of record room with peaceful expressions, when her eyes fell on Haseena's back. "Who is she? What happened?" she asked while walking towards the front side. As soon as her eyes fell on Haseena's face, she got oblivious of her surroundings and her eyes get glued to Haseena's face, her body got numb, mouth opened in shock, tears started streaming down from her eyes, face went pale, her emotions went out of her control and words refused to come out of her mouth, unable to believe that she was seeing Haseena right in front of her eyes after long ten years.

Pushpa ji's attention was on treating her wounds while Haseena was looking at her with wet eyes, overwhelmed at receiving someone's care after so long, none was noticing Karishma. On another side, unknown to herself, her feet started moving towards Haseena, with a blank face and teary eyes, she reached closer to her and fell down on her knees with a thud, causing everyone to get shocked seeing her sudden strange behavior. It was then Haseena had looked at her for the first time, when Karishma was struggling in her broken state with her trembling hand to touch her face but could not bring herself to do it, holding her hand again and again. Seeing her state Pushpa ji gets shocked. Haseena, who had not recovered from Pushpa ji's reaction, was dumbfounded seeing Karishma's state, unable to understand anything yet feeling a strange unknown connection towards her. It was a couple of minutes since Karishma was struggling to make herself believe Haseena's presence, and Haseena was thinking hard to recognize the pull she was feeling but suddenly felt a strong wave of headache, she shrieked impulsively, breaking Karishma's trance. "What....wh...what happened....you...oh no....this...blood....." Karishma tried to say in between her sobs seeing her bleeding but failed to form a sentence. Snatching cotton and first aid kit from Pushpa ji with a jerk, she started doing it herself, still sitting on her knees in front of her while tears were flowing endlessly from her eyes. Pushpa ji, Cheetah and Santu was unable to comprehend Karishma's reaction. "Why...why....why can't you take care of yourself....Will you ever learn to be careful......" Karishma was scolding her, applying antiseptic, blowing air on it to ease the pain, as well as sobbing heavily. Haseena's headache was evaded by Karishma's touch and she was feeling strangely relaxed but at the same time, she wasn't able to understand Karishma getting so much affected by a stranger's slight injuries.

Tumne jo hai maanga toh

Dil ye haazir ho gaya

Tumko maana manzil aur

Musafir ho gaya

Tumne jo hai maanga toh

Dil ye haazir ho gaya

Tumko maana manzil aur

Musafir ho gaya

Lo safar shuru ho gaya

Humsafar tu ho gaya

Lo safar shuru ho gaya

Mera humsafar tu ho gaya

Dil ki bechaini ko aaya

Ab kahin aaram hain

Tu na ho to sochta dil

Tujhko subaho shaam hai

Iss kadar tu har ik pal mein

Mere shaamil hogaya

Lo safar shuru ho gaya

Humsafar tu ho gaya

Lo safar shuru ho gaya

Mera humsafar tu ho gaya

Santosh's phone beeped and she at once checked the notification for the breaking news. With a creased forehead, she said while moving towards the remote to switch on T.V, "Karishma madam, our police Station's name is flashing in breaking news." Her words alerted Karishma of her circumstances and she at once gathered herself and mumbled seeing Haseena's shocking expressions, "Sorry! I....I went overboard." They all turned towards the television only to get another shock that the lady in front of them is none other than the Lady Immortal- Haseena Malik, their new S.H.O and how she had rescued a lady and her child by almost losing her life. They all turned towards her in utter shock, only to see her standing with her hands, crossed at her back and a smile on her face, "Greetings team Woman Police Station Lukhnow, and I am your new Station Incharge- S.H.O Haseena Malik." "Greetings Madam Sir! Constable Santosh Sharma- cyber specialist reporting," she saluted, introduced herself and presented her the bouquet which she accepted with a smile and added, "By the way, I liked the decorations." "Constable Cheetah Chaturvedi, woman psychology specialist reporting madam sir!" "Head Constable Pushpa Singh- counseling head reporting madam sir," the other two also saluted her and introduced themselves. Haseena looked at Karishma Singh, for her introduction in which she was perhaps the most interested at that moment but Karishma, who was experiencing the turmoil of emotions, ran away from there, leaving everybody stunned. "Sorry....Sorry, Madam Sir....I apologize to you on her behalf....actually she wasn't feeling alright since morning," Pushpa ji at once apologized worried that it might offend her however Haseena had not responded to anything, except looking at her going figure.

So How was it?
