There is a slight change..... Santosh has not proposed Cheetah..... And they both are still friends.... 

This will be a very short story.... Like 3-4 chapters.... 

Police Headquarters, Lucknow, U.P. 

Haseena Mallik, Amar Vidrohi and Mahesh Singh were present in the DSP's cabin 

Mahesh Singh (DSP): Ms. Mallik....  Amar vidrohi ke thaane mein renovation ka kaam chal raha hai....  Aur kyoki yeh pehele bhi aapke saath aapke mein kaam kar chuke hai isliye jab tak yeh renovation ka kaam chal raha hai Amar vidrohi aapke thaane ke dusre SHO honge.... Aasha hai ki aapko koi pareshani nahi hogi.... 

Haseena: Ji nahi sir..... Bas ik sawaal tha..... 

Mahesh Singh: Puchiye....

Haseena: Kya Mr. Vidrohi ki team bhi....

Mahesh Singh: Ji nahi.... Unka alag alag thaane mein transfer kiya gaya hai.... 

Haseena looked at Amar for a moment.... Both through eyes decided to salute DSP and leave....

Amareena: Jai hind sir

Mahesh Singh: Jai hind

Both came out of his cabin..... 

Amar: Aapke saath dobara kaam karne mein maza aayega..... And this time no competition.... no fights...

Haseena: (Smiled slightly) Ji bilkul..... Aaiye.... 

They sat inside the police jeep and headed for Mahila Police Thaana..... 

Mahila Police Thaana

Everybody welcomed Amar Vidrohi and then went back to their respective work.... It was late at night.... Amar was still there checking some files in his cabin..... Cheetah was on night duty.... Haseena was in her cabin and was completing some paperwork while Karishma was about to head home..... 

Karishma knocked Haseena's cabin.... She was in her casuals....  

Karishma: Madam sir hum andar aa jaye???

Haseena: Arre Karishma Singh aayiye.... (Karishma came inside) Kya baat hai aap kuch pareshaan si lag rahi hai.... (Karishma vigorously nodded her head) 

Karishma: Madam sir ..... Kal na Patidev ke ik khaas dost ki shaadi hai aur voh chahate ki hum bhi unke saath rahe..... Toh.... Kya aap hume sirf kal kal ke din chutti de sakti hai..... Please....

Haseena: Hum aapki leave application sign kar denge.... Aap kal Pushpa ji ke saath bhijwa dijiyega  

Karishma: Ji madam sir

Haseena: Koi aur baat bhi hai na...... Kya baat hai bataiye....

Haseena stood up and went near Karishma....  Amar was about to enter Haseena's cabin but stopped when he heard Karishma's voice

Karishma: Madam sir hum kab taq chachi ji se jhoot bolenge.... Ik na ik din toh hume unhe sach batana hi padega na.... 

Haseena: Hum samajhte hai Karishma Singh....  Paar hum bhi majboor hai.... Doctor ne unhe kissi bhi tarah ka stress lene se mana kiya hai phir hum unhe kaise bata de ki..... Par aap fikr mat kijiye hum sahi samay aane pe khud unhe bata denge.... 

Karishma: Kehena toh nahi chahiye madam sir par..... Hume unki bahut yaad aa rahi hai.... (with welled up eyes)

Haseena shook her head in negation as if asking Karishma not to be weak and then gives her a sisterly hug..... 

When they broke the hug Karishma spoke....

Karishma: Madam sir kaafi raat ho gayi hai.... Aap kahe toh hum aapko ghar chod de???

Haseena: Nahi, nahi Karishma Singh Bas yeh file puri karke hum chale jayenge.... Aap jaiye....

Karishma was about to move out of the cabin when Haseena spoke..... Amar too went away to his cabin

Haseena: Karishma Singh.... Enjoy karna.... (Winked) 

Karishma said nothing just came out of the cabin blushing like a red tomato...

**********

Haseena had finished her work.... She was about to sit in her jeep when Amar called her from behind.....

Haseena was about to sit in her car when Amar spoke 

Amar: Haseena ji.... 

Haseena closed her eyes and took a long breath.... She then turned around to face Amar Vidrohi

Haseena: Mr. Vidrohi.... Ik guzarish hai aapse.... Aap hume Haseena Mallik kahiye.... Ms. Mallik kahiye..... Kuch bhi kahiye.... Par Hassena ji nahi (firmly) 

Amar: Aa.... Thik hai.... Lagta hai iss tarah se aapka koi khaas insaan aapko bulata hai..... 

Haseena: Keh sakte hai.... Bairhaal aapne hume kyu roka

Amar: Aap shaayad bhul gayi hai ki deartment ne hume ik hi sarkaari jeep di hai.... Toh ya toh aap hume ghar chod dijiye ya hum aapko chod dete hai.... 

Haseena: Oh.... Maaf kijiyega, humare dimaag se nikal gaya.... Aap kaha rehete hai.....

Amar: M.G. road....

Haseena: Hume uss se pehele utarna hai toh aap hume drop kar dijiye.....

Amar: Thik hai.... chaliye.....

Haseena sat on the passenger's seat while Amar sat on the driver's seat..... Amar started driving.... 

Amar: Vese Ms. Mallik.... Jaha taq hume pata hai aapka ghar toh MG road ke baad aata hai toh....

Haseena: Jaha hum jaa rahe hai voh bhi humare ghar jaisa hai....

Amar: Par aapki Ammi....

Haseena: Voh Lucknow mein nahi hai..... 

Amar: oh....

Haseena: Left lijiye....  Aur ab iss road pe phir se last left phir first right.....

Amar nodded and did the same..... He stopped the car in front of a big house.... 

Amar: Ms. Mallik.... Kya hume ik glass paani milega???

Haseena: Ji Sure.... Aaiye

They reached in front of the door.... Haseena took out the keys from her pocket.... 

Amar: Singh Niwas???

Haseena: Ji.... koi dikkat

Amar: Nahi par aapka surname toh.....

Haseena: Jaiski humne aapse pehele bhi kaha tha Mr. Vidrohi.... Yeh humare ghar jaisa hai.... Ik tarah se humara dusra ghar.... 

Saying this hm opened the door..... Soon Malika came into view....

Malika (In one breath): Acha hua didi aap aa gayi.... Aunty ji apni dawai kha hi nahi rahi hai..... 

Haseena: Shaat.... Shaant Malika.... Aap Mr. Vidrohi ko paani dijiye hum Maa se baat karte hai.... 

Malika went away....

Amar: Ms Mallik Andar nahi bulangi hume.... Apne colleague ko yu bahar bahar se bhejna achi baat 

Haseena: Mr. Vidrohi aap already ghar ke andar khade hai.... Aur ha kisi ki baate kaan laga kar sunn na bhi achi baat nahi hoti.... 

Saying this Haseena went inside leaving a dumbstruck Amar standing at the door way..... Soon Amar followed Haseena who went inside the hall to Maa who was sitting grumpily on the couch....

Haseena: Maa...

Maa: Haseena acha hua tu aa gayi.... Yeh malika na hume jabardasti dawai khila rahi thi.... Hume nahi khaani dawai.... Kitni kadwi hoti hai.....

Haseena: Hmm... Baat toh aap sahi keh rahi hai maa par agar aap dawai nahi khaayengi toh thik kaise hongi.... Par ab dawai meethi bhi nahi ho sakti.... Toh kya kiya jaye.....(Pretended thinking) Ha idea.... Aap yeh "kadwi" dawai kha lijiye phir hum aapko aapka man pasand suji ka halwa bana ke khilayenge.... Iss se muh ka swaad bhi thik rahega.... Chalega???

Maa: Chal de de.... Kha lenge pa r halwa aaj hi chahiye hume.....

Haseena: Pakka....

In the meantime Malika came and gave him a glass of water and which he drank..... 

Amar (Whispered to Malika): Yeh anuty ji Haseena ji ki kya lagti hai....

Malika: Maa

Saying this she went away.... Ma notices Amar standing behind Haseena

Maa: Haseena yeh kaun hai???

Haseena: Maa yeh Amar Vidrohi hai.... Humare thaane ke SHO....

Maa: Par yeh toh ik Mahine pehele hi chale gaye the na tumhare thaane se....

Haseena: Ji Maa par inke thaane mein renovation ka kaam chal raha hai toh department ne inka MPT mein tabadla kar diya....

Maa: Achha.... Aao beta baitho....

Amar: Nahi nahi aunty ji bas pyaas lagi thi toh paani peene aaye the... Ab hum chalte hai....

Amar touches Maa's feet

Maa: Kush raho.... 

Amar went away.....

*************

Mahila Police Thaana

Cheetah: Santu ji.... Yeh aap apne Laptop pe itni der se kya kar rahi hai....

Pushpa ji: Haa santu.... Kabse dekh rahe hai tum kuch kaam kar rahi ho.... Kya hai batao na

Amar came in but everybody was too busy to even notice him....

Santosh: Pushpee..... Mai Madam sir ka matrimonial profile update kar rahi hu..... Kal raat ko unki Ammi ka phone aaya tha aur unhone kaha ki kal thaane jaate hi yeh pehela kaam karna hai....

Pushpa ji: Sahi kiya.... Aakhir kab taq madam sir aise akeli rahengi.... Kabhi na kabhi toh unhe apne ateet ko bhulana hi hoga na

Cheetah: Par Pushpa ji.... Madam sir ke liye unhe bhulna itna aasaan nahi hai.... Hum ik mahila manovaigyanik hai aur isliye jaante hai ki apne pehele pyaar ko ik Mahila bahut mushkil se bhula paati hai....

Santosh: Tu baat toh sahi keh raha hai cheeteh.... Aur phir hum sab bhi unhe kaha bhula paye....

Haseena came in.....

Pushpa ji: Kisne socha tha ki voh aisa niklega.....

Haseena: Kaun kaisa niklega pushpa ji???

BGM: Lag Gayi....

Cheetah, Santu and Pushpa ji notices Amarseena standing there....

All: Jai Hind

Amarseena: Jai hind....

Haseena: Aapna humare sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya Pushpa ji..... 

Pushpa ji: Voh.... Madam sir katehal.... (Cheetah, Santosh and Amar looked shockingly at Pushpa ji) katehal..... Dekhne mein kitna badiya.... bada bada aur taaza lag raha tha.... Hume bhi khareed liya.... Par jab sabji lagane chale toh voh andar se kharaab nikla.... Toh humne socha nahi tha ki katehal aisa hoga.... Haina Santu....

Santosh gets a flashback ....

In flashback

Pushpa ji: aaj se DSP sir ka code name katehal....

Flashback over

Santosh: Ji madam sir.... Pushpa ji bilkul sahi keh rahi hai....

Cheetah: Dekhiye na madam sir Santu ji ke pet mein dard bhi nahi ho raha toh iska matlab yeh sach bol rahi hai....

Amar (in mind): Jab Santosh Sharma jhooth bolti hai toh unka pet dukhne lagta hai par abhi yeh log toh Haseena ji ke past ke baare mein  baat kar rahe the..... Toh kya Haseena ji kathel se pyaar karti thi???? 

Before Amar can speak anything Billu came running.....

Billu: Madam sir..... Sir..... Abhi abhi mere network se khabar mili hai ki Shantipura area mein kuch logo ke paas hatiyaar hai..... Bandooke aur chaakoo.... 

Amar: Kya yeh khabar pakki hai... 

Billu: Ji Sir...

Haseena: Pushpa ji head quarters mein iinform kijiye aur cheetah chaturvedi aap backup force ke saath pahuchiye..... Santosh Sharma aap humare aur Mr. Vidrohi ke saath chaliye.....

Santosh, Amar and Cheetah went away...
