Humming soft music, a young beautiful girl of 24 dressed in constable uniform, Santosh was passing by the pillar to move towards her desk, in the morning in the hall of woman Police Station Lukhnow. When suddenly two strong arms of a smart boy dressed in constable Uniform had pulled her through her wrists towards himself, making her land on his hard chest and instantly engulfed his arms around her waist, "Cheetah!! What are you doing?? We are in Police Station? Karishma madam is about to come, she will scold us if she had caught us like this." She cringed in his arms and tried to free herself, "Santu ji!! You know how much workload we have these days we don't get any time after duty for each other and here whole day due to Karishma madam's professional etiquettes and manners we don't get to romance each other......please Santu ji!! Karishma madam had not come yet.....please!!!" he pleaded to make a puppy face. She smiled giving in and pressed her lips on his cheeks who smiled fully and nuzzled his nose on her neck, closing her eyes she was feeling goosebumps.

They were hiding behind the pillar giving faces in each other's when a middle-aged mature lady dressed in the uniform of head constable with her perfectly blackened hair tied neatly in a bun named Pushpa Singh entered along with a young woman of 30 having an elegant face, sharp features and perfectly shaped body dressed in Police uniform with two stars on her shoulder named S.I. Karishma Singh. As soon as, their eyes went on them, Pushpa ji rolled her eyes and looking at Karishma who had removed her goggles angrily, and shouted loudly, "Mr. Cheetah Chaturvedi and Ms. Santosh Sharma!!!!!" Her ear-piercing voice caused them to jerk each other way. "Gr....Greetings Madam!!" Cheetah fumbled and saluted her. "Greetings Madam!!" Santosh saluted her too after straightening her slightly dishelleved state "Greetings!!!" she gritted her teeth and roared once again, "Is this your bedroom or some bar where you are busy romancing each other? How many times I had told you that this is Police Station and I want you to behave as professional colleagues here not as young lovesick teenage individuals." "S...Sorry, madam!!" "S....sor....sorry madam" they both apologized looking down, hands clasped behind them. "Now get back to work!" she commanded and moved towards her desk while Pushpa ji sighed deeply and moved towards her's.

A few minutes later she received a call from DSP sir, "Greetings Sir!" she responded professionally taking the call. "Karishma Singh, tomorrow a new S.H.O will join Woman Police Station." DSP's announcement intrigued her and she asked, "Who is he, sir?" "Not he, she is a woman Police Officer, a smart danger-loving lady. We all knew her by her title 'Lady Immortal' more than her real name." "Okay Sir" she responded professionally without any signs of surprise or excitement on her face. After hanging up she stood up from her seat and gathered everyone in front of her. "Listen to me carefully, tomorrow a new S.H.O will join us." "Madam, who is she?" Santosh asked her. "Am.....I don't know her real name but she is known by 'Lady Immortal' though I am still confused what kind of title it is?" Karishma responded casually. "Really!! She will be our new in Incharge! Madam, you are saying the truth?" Santosh exclaimed in extreme excitement and similar expressions were visible on the other two faces also. "Firstly, why will I lie to you, and secondly what is in her that made you all jump in excitement?" She asked with a creased forehead and serious expressions. "Madam!! I can't believe you haven't heard about her." Santosh responded with bewildered expressions. "Santosh Sharma! Come to the point straight," She added loudly. "Sorry, madam. She is known as lady Immortal because she never thinks twice before jumping in front of any kind of danger be it mild or fatal. Not only this madam, but I had also heard that she treats her team as her family. As much as friendly she is for common people and her team, she is vicious for criminals and underworld," Santosh informed her what the world knows about her. "Okay, but she is not coming today so now get back to work." She commanded strictly and moved towards her desk thinking about the character sketch Santosh had just described which was raising some strange feelings in her.

In the evening, in a coffee shop in Jaipur on a family table, a group of five individuals with two females and three males was sitting dressed in casual wear with coffee cups in their hands. At the head chair, a young beautiful woman of 30 with elegant features and a perfectly statured body dressed in light pink colored trouser-shirt with matching earrings, was sitting by adoring a sweet smile on her lips; named Haseena Malik. On her left side was a woman looking younger than her dressed in jeans and top, named Nandini Kapoor. Besides Nandini was present a young man dressed in jeans and a Shirt named Shamal. Upon Haseena's right, two young men dressed in jeans and shirts were sitting named Ishaan and Amar. "Last one year which I had spent with you guys in Main Police Station Jaipur as your S.H.O was amazing for me and I hope it had been same for you. However, if knowingly or unknowingly I had hurt any of you then I am really sorry," Haseena said addressing everyone with a sincere smile. "No, no mam....please....we couldn't have gotten a better senior to you. We are lucky that we got the chance to learn so many things from you." Nandini added. "Absolutely....by the way mam thank you so much for this amazing farewell which I think we should have given you," Shamal added. Haseena chuckled and added, "I have always considered my team as my family....and there are no formalities in families." Just then his phone rang, "Excuse me, mam, can I?" "Ya of course!!" Picking up the call, Shamal moved to a side away from everyone, "What can I do? She had invited us for some nonsense farewell coffee.......I can't refuse her, you know she has power, status, and money.....I must be on good terms with her for any unfortunate time....I can't come now, I'll see you tomorrow," he said, hung up, and moved towards the table.

"I have brought a small token of memory for you all....please accept it," Haseena added politely with a genuine smile presenting a gift hampers to everyone present there who took them without any hesitation when in fact they should be the one presenting her something. Just then Haseena's phone rang, "Excuse me!!" she added and moved aside to take the call. "Wow, man!! It's so expensive!!" Ishaan added pleasantly shocked. "Ya....she adore us so much and we haven't even arranged a small bouquet for her," Nandini added feeling bad. Unknown to them, Haseena was not very far from them and could easily listen to their words. Amar responded to Nandini, "So what, she takes us as our family, not us....it is not necessary that we felt the same for her. Moreover I am glad she is going.....I mean I understand that she has no family but that does not mean, that she will roam on our head all the time." "Exactly, you are right Ishaan added and Shamal nodded agreeing to him. "Shut up guys.....and if you find her so irritating then why do you act so sweet in front of her." Nandini protested. "It's called contact building....you know she has many contacts not only in the Police department but in the business and political world too because of her late father," Shamal added. "Not only this, she had power and money too. Her father was a billionaire and she is the only heir to the massive property. We are not mad to ruin our image in front of her." Ishaan added. Haseena who had listened to each and every word chuckled with wet eyes. Wiping her unshed tears, she called the manager in a professional tone, paid the bill and then moved towards their table once again with the same sweet smile as before, "I am so sorry guys, I have some important work...I have to go....I had paid the bills and ya....best of luck for your future may you get all that you had wished for. Take care." "Take care mam!" They added to which she nodded wore her goggles, plastered a smile on her face, and walked out of the hotel.

At her home, Karishma was in Kitchen, wearing an apron and covered hairs with serious expressions. On one stove, tea was about to boil in the pan while on another stove she was frying chopping onions, in addition, she was chopping tomatoes swiftly on the cutting board. Tea boiled, holding the wooden handle of the pan she had poured tea in one cup, lowered the flame under onions, and moved out of the Kitchen towards the Lounge. In the lounge she had placed the teacup in front of Pushpa Ji who was sitting with closed eyes, putting her head on the backrest and pressing it with her thumb and forefinger, "Amma, your tea!" "Karishma, How you understand my need without even me saying it," she asked smiling proudly. "Nothing like that....anyone at my place would have done the same," Karishma added softly yet seriously without even a faint smile. "Amma....i am cooking dinner...if you want anything special then tell me," Karishma asked in the same tone. Pushpa ji smiled and added, "I know you would have already prepared three to four dishes, how many special dishes will you cook?" She paused while Karishma had not responded to anything. She added once again, "Karishma beta!! I have always loved you as my daughter and by that right can I ask you something?" Karishma looked in her eyes and found nothing but love, care of worries for her, she nodded. "Beta, until when you will continue to be away from life and happiness?" Pushpa Ji asked. Looking down, fidgeting with her fingers, tears brimming in her eyes, she added, "I am sorry Amma....I...I know I am unable to give Shorya ji's his right on me......because of me, even he is unable to enjoy life.....but...but I can't help it....that's why I never wanted to marry Shorya Ji in the first place.....please Amma, Get him married to someone else....he....he deserves to be happy...." Pushpa ji was listening to her with bewildered expressions then moved towards her. Holding her through her shoulders, she added, "Beta, It's not about him, he is more than happy with you...It's about you......I want to see the smile on my daughter's face which I had never seen since I had met you." Karishma raised her eyes and added looking at her, "It is not possible Amma.....your daughter had lost her smiles ten years ago." With that, she ran back to the kitchen while Pushpa ji looked towards the sky and prayed silently while a drop of tear escaped the corner of her eyes, "Please God, have mercy on her......send her smile back to her."

On another side, Haseena drove herself to the main gate of her house whose nameplate had her name, "S.H.O Haseena Malik's place" Instead of going inside, she parked her car outside beside the boundary wall, changed her seat's posture from sitting to half lying and lied down on it, closing her eyes while tears were flowing from her both eyes. A couple of minutes later, her cell phone rang on which caller ID showed, "Manager Hassan Shah" "Yes, Mr. Shah!" she added with a sharp and stable voice. "Mam, Are you sure you want to come to Lukhnow.....I mean your Ammi...." Before he could say anything he was cut by her, "Mr. Shah! I hope you know that you are not my guardian......I don't have to ask you or tell you anything before taking any step. And Why Shouldn't I come to Lukhnow when headquarter of Malik enterprises is there when Malik Mansion is in Lukhnow.......Mr. Shah Lukhnow has my everything......I agree that I had given my word to Ammi that I will never visit Lukhnow but I have had it enough.....My flight will land tomorrow at 10 am. Make sure to pick me up from the airport and I want Malik Mansion to be ready as it was used to be before we left Lukhnow.....I swear Mr. Shah, any changes could you and your staff senior penalty." Haseena added a bit loudly almost losing on him. "I am sorry mam....and don't worry everything will happen as per your wish." He responded immediately with a shivering voice. "And yes, one more thing, give my message to C.E.O of Malik Enterprises to meet me with Annual reports of all our branches at Malik Mansion tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. Is that clear?" "Yes mam, sure." He responded. Hanging up, Haseena took a deep breath and mumbled to herself, "I am sorry Ammi.....I had tried to keep up with your promise until this date.....but not anymore.....I am going back to the place from where you had brought me ten years ago, with my last hope that maybe I could get any reason to live in that city."
