Belated Happy Ganesh Chaturthi ...

Continued....

Anubhav immediately handed over the gun back in Haseena's still shaky hands.... His eyes for a fraction of second went to Haseena's tear stricken face but he was quick enough to avert his gaze.... A man who was leading the force came towards anuseena.... And meanwhile some members of the force freed MPT members and arrested the goons....

MPT members rushed towards Haseena, and Anubhav took two steps away from her....

Anubhav: Aayush voh Jungle ki tarraf bhaga hai.... Seize that area.... Uske dahine paav mein goli lagi hai bahut dur nahi gaya hoga.... Voh humare haathon se bachna nahi chahiye...

Aayush signalled the force members to do the same.... Aayush along with one more member from the force freed Anubhav from those metallic chains....

Aayush: Sir (Anubhav) Bakshi sir abhi aadhe ghanta mein aa jayenge....

Anubhav nodded and Aayush along with his colleague hurried towards the jungle....

Anubhav was feeling a mix of emotions.... His heart wanted to go and comfort Haseena yet his mind continuously reminded him of the failure of his mission..... He was angry, frustrated, sad, disappointed and last but not the least he was guilty.... Guilty of not been able to catch Imraan and save the rest of the girls whom he had hidden God knows where.....

Anubhav turned towards Haseena.... She was not alone.... She didn't need him.... Just like always... His heart clenched in pain for a second seeing her condition.... Her hands were still shaking a little, Karishma Singh was holding them and tying her handkerchief on some wound on her wrist.... But as soon as his eyes landed on the gun which she was holding did every emotion inside him died.... After all he is an agent and was not allowed to love....

Anubhav went towards Haseena.... Amar was about to speak something but Anubhav showed him his palm asking him not to speak....

Anubhav: Haseena Mallik aap humare kaksh mein aaiye.... Sirf Haseena Mallik...

Saying this Anubhav went away...

His voice was calm.... But it was the calmness before the storm and Karishma Singh very well knew this...

Haseena took a deep breath...

Pushpa ji: Madam sir aap-

Haseena: Hum thik hai Pushpa ji....

Saying this she followed Anubhav.....

Pushpa ji (To Karishma): Dekha aapne kaise aapk-.... Kaise Anubhav sir madam sir ko bol ke gaye.... Hume toh lag raha hai ki unke sayam ka band kabhi bhi tut sakta hai....

Karishma: Toh tutega hi na Pushpa ji... Madam sir ke jajbaato ki vajeh se toh voh Imraan bhaag gaya aur-

Pushpa ji: Ik minute.... Ik minute Toh aap kehena kya chahati hai ki madam sir goli chala deti.... Bhagwaan na kare agar goli DSP sir ko lag jaati toh....

Karishma: Hume training mein ik hi cheez sikhaya hai Puspa ji ki hume sabse pehele aapni duty karni hai chahe humare saamne koi bhi ho....

Amar: Iss baat pe hum Karishma Singh se sehmat hai.... Haseena ji ko try karna chaiye tha.... Unka nishana nahi chukta....

Cheetah: Maaf kijiyega sir aise beech mein bol rahe hai... Par hume duty karte vakt yeh bhi sikhaya jata hai ki kissi beqasur ko koi kshati nahi pachuchni.... Toh aisi vikat paristhiti mein madam sir ne jo kuch bhi kiya voh sahi kiya.... Kahe ki agar galti se bhi DSP sir ko kuch ho jata na to madam sir ab khud ko maaf nahi karpati (Looks at Karishma who bows down listening to his indirect taunt)

Earlier Cheetah too used to think of Anubhav as a traitor but after seeing what he did the previous night.... How he risked his mission to save Haseena, his respect for him grew by 100 folds....

Santosh: Ab agar sab yeh bata hi rahe hai ki unhe iss situation ke baare mein kya lagta hai toh mai bhi bata deti hu.... Mujhe lagta hai ki hume sabse pehele madam sir ka peecha karna chahiye taki hum unhe DSP sir ki daant se bacha sake.....

Everyone looks at Santosh in shock....

Cheetah: Santu ji aap singhade khayi hai....

Santosh: Ha.... Par tujhe kaise pata....

Cheetah: Bas aise hi.... (Shyly)

Everybody rushed towards Anubhav's room..... And stood beside the window as door was closed.... Anubhav was standing in front of Haseena in anger while Haseena was looking down with her hands behind her back....

Any other person would find the situation quite hilarious as it seemed like a student getting scolded by a teacher .... But this situation was far different....

Anubhav: Aapko gyaat bhi hai Haseena Mallik ki aaj jo aapne kiya uska kya parinaam hoga..... (Turned around and now his back was facing Haseena) Voh Imraan.... Voh ik matr insaan tha jo baaki ladkiyo ka pata jaanta tha jinhe bech diya gaya Hai.... Aur becha jaane vala hai

Took a deep breath to control his anger....

Anubhav: Ms. Mallik apni team se keh dijiye ki yadi voh log issi prakar humari baate sunte rahe toh kal pratahkaal inn sabhi ke inshkasan patr inke haathon mein honge....

Haseena turned around and saw MPT members standing at the window... For a moment she wondered how he came to know about them when his back was towards them...

Haseena requested them through eyes to leave to which they were first reluctant but agreed a moment later....

Anubhav (Turned around.... And was now facing Haseena): Kya aap hume yeh batane ka Kasht karengi ki aapne uss samay goli kyu nahi chalayi jab voh Imraan nihata aapke saamne khada tha.... Kyu aakpe mastishk mein ik baar bhi yeh vichar nahi aaya ki aap jo karne jaa rahi hai uska kya parinam ho sakta hai.... UTTAR MANGA HAI AAPSE HASEENA MALLIK.... (Haseena flinched at his sudden raise of voice and looked in his eyes, which were red due to anger, for a second.... But didn't speak anything)

Anubhav: Aapko pata hai hum apne seniors ko samjhane ka har sambhav prayas kiya ki manushya ki bhavnaye unki nirbalta ka nahi apitu unki shakti ka pratik hoti hai parantu aaj.... Aaj Haseena Mallik aapne hume hi galat sidh kar diya.... Jab ab uss din aapke haath nahi ruke the toh aaj kyu??? Kyu nahi chalayi aapne goli???

This was it for Haseena.... This question made her bound to speak....

Haseena: Uss Imraan ko na pakad paane ke liye hum bahut sharminda hai aur yakeen maniye usse toh hum uski kabr se dhundh kar bahr layenge.... Humne jo kiya uske liye department jo chahe voh saza hume de sakta hai.....

Haseena looked at Anubhav's face directly in his eyes....

Haseena: Par agar baat humari aap pe goli na chalane ki hai, toh maaf kijiyega sir par humne jo kiya uska zara sa bhi pachtava hume nahi hai..... Kyuki aape uss din goli chalana ik galti thi.... Aur yeh baat hum aapse pehele bhi keh chuke hai, aur aaj phirse kehte hai ki.... Hum kabhi bhi apni galtiyan nahi dohtrate.... Jai Hind....

Saying this Haseena came out of the room but not before angrily closing the door behind her with a bang.....

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

Haseena was in her room from past 20 minutes.... The door was locked from inside and there was no sound coming.... She had asked everyone to give her some time...

All the MPT members agreed to her request as they wanted to overhear Anubhav's conversation with his seniors.... They wanted to know if there would be any action against their madam sir and if yes then they would be able to stop it.....

But to their dismay the door and windows were closed and there was high security around the room....

And now they all were standing beside in the veranda waiting for Haseena and Anubhav to come.... Cheetah had gone along with some force members to the nearby police station to handover those goons to them....

Amar: Na jaane andar kya chal raha hoga.... Bas Haseena ki job bacchi rahe....

Karishma: Samay sabko kitna badal deta hai sir.... Ik samay tha jab aap madam sir ki jagah SHO banna chahate the aur aaj unhi ke liye prathna kar rahe hai....

Amar: Karishma Singh, hum kabhi bhi unhe nicha dikha kea age nahi badhna chahate the... I always wanted a healty competion.... Aur uss vakt voh humari competitior thi aur ab humari colleague hai....

Pushpa ji: Hume garv hai ki aap humare senior hai sir....

Amar: Thank you Pushpa ji-

They all were interrupted by two men from the force, who were unintentionally talking a way too loud....

Man1: Maine toh aaj taq ki job mein Aayush sir ke muh se ik hi baat suni hai ki, Anubhav sir unke role model, unke guru hai.... Toh mujhe toh samajh nahi aa raha ki voh itni kal raat ko bahar kar kya rahe the, jabki Bakshi sir ke strict orders the ki subah hone se pehele koi action nahi lena hai....

Man2: Pata chala hai ki kal raat takriban 2 baje ke as paas Anubhav sir ko unke gundo ne pakad liya....

Man 1: Ha yaar isse accha toh Haseena madam hai.... Unhone Anubhav sir ko bhi bacha liya aur uss Imraan pe goli bhi chalayi....

MPT members were shocked to her this.... Karishma was having a smile of satisfaction....

Amar (Whispered): Anubhav sir ne jhoot kyu bola??

Before anyone could answer him Anubhav came....

MPT members: Jai Hind sir

Anubhav: Jai Hind.... Aap sabhi gaye nahi....

Santosh: Nahi sir.... Hum log aapki-

Pushpa ji: Aapki hi rah dekh rahe the.... Haina Santu (Doing famous acting)

Santosh nodded slightly clutching her stomach to which Anubhav noticed but chose to ignore.... Amar spoke in order to save Pushpa ji's lie

Amar: Aaiye sir car ready hai.... Santosh Sharma aap please Haseena ko bula ke le aaiye

Anubhav looked at Amar in astonishment for a fraction of second, but quickly averted his gaze and started walking....

Several unanswered questions were roaming in his mind.... Since when was Amar on first name basis with Haseena?? And the bigger question was since when Haseena started mixing personal and professional life??? She once clearly told him that she likes to keep them separate.... And why on the Earth did she went away in anger.... He was the one who should be angry and not her....

His chain of thoughts was broken by Amar....

Amar: Sir...

Anubhav: Ji....

Amar: Sir car aa gayi

Anubhav nodded....

*********

Karishma Singh was driving the car and Amar was sitting beside her.... Anubhav, Haseena and Santosh were sitting behind them and Puspa ji was on the last seat....

Santosh, who was sitting between anuseena, was feeling like a child whose parents have fought....

Anubhav: Santosh Sharma....

Santosh: Ji sir...

Anubhav: Hum aapko yeh bata dete hai ki yadi koi ghaav aapke haath ki kalayi pe lag jata hai, toh uska jald se jald chikitsalay jaake upchaar karwana chahiye....Inhe halke mein nahi lena chahiye.... Kyuki yaha humare sharer ki kayi saari mehatavpurn nase hoti hai....

Today Santu got some light scratches on her wrist due to the ropes which were tied on her hand and so she thought that Anubhav was telling her about the same....

Santosh: Aap chinta mat kijiye sir mai aaj hi hospital jaake dressing karwa lungi.... Thank you sir...

Everyone looked at Santu in shock....

Karishma (murmured): Jadbudhi....

Haseena was still looking out from the window... Amar saw her blank face from the wing- mirror and asked her if she is okay through eyes, to which Haseena blinked in assurance.... Anubhav was silently noticing all this....

Karishma saw Anubhav's face and then followed the direction of his gaze but before she could notice anything Santu's voice came.....

Santosh: Karishma madam saamne dekhiye....

Karishma saw in front and saw that their car was about to hit a street dog.... She quickly turned the wheel and pulled the breaks.... The car turned around a little and came to halt with a screeching sound....

Pushpa ji: Dhyaan kaha tha aapka???

Karishma started the car and again started driving.... She was a little upset with what Haseena did... Haseena should have shot Imraan.... Her mind was angry at the fact that how could Haseena be this emotional, while her heart was screaming at her, reminding her of the guilt and pain she was suffering from since the day she shot Anubhav.... She shot him in anger without thinking or searching for the reason behind his deeds.... And now she didn't know how to apologize.... In fact, she has not given even once tried to convivence Anubhav to forgive her.... Because according to Karishma Singh forgiveness is only asked for mistakes and not crimes.... What she did was a crime, for which, she is still not able to forgive herself....

Her cain of thoughts were broken by the sudden jerk which the car suffered due to a ditch in the road

Pushpa ji: Kya kar rahi hai aap....

Santosh: Pushpee Karishma madam gaadi chala rahi hai....

Pushpa ji: Aise.... Aise bhala koi gaadi chalata hai.... Itni tez.... Patah hai Santu roj roj subah jab hum thane aate hai na inki bike pe baith ke toh lagta hai shaksat yamraj ke darshan ho rahe ho.... Karishma ji aaj toh aap hume bata hi dijiye kaun hai voh.... Kaun hai voh insaan jisne aapko gadi chalani sikhayi.... Hum chodenge-

Karishma: Humare bhaiya ne...

(BGM: Lag gayi)

Pushpa ji: Hum.... Hum toh keh rahe the ki hum chodenge nahi unhe balki gale se laga ke shabashi denge ki vah... Vah kya gadi chalani sikhayi hai unhone humari ladli bahurani ko.... Voh toh hum aise aa rahe the.... (Doing her famous hand action)

Haseena intervened to stop them

Haseena: Karishma Singh aaj subah Maa vapas aa gayi hai toh hum unn se milke thane aayenge .... Aap please hume ghar ke saamne hi uttar dengi...

Karishma: Ji Madam sir....

Haseena: In fact ik case ki file bhi ghar pe hi hai... Voh pati patni vala jo ik case tha.... Usspe Mr. Vidrohi aapke sign baaki hai....

Amar: Toh hum log bahar wait kar lete hai aap file le aaiye ga...

Haseena nodded.... She deliberately did this so that Anubhav could see a glimse of his house and perhaps his mother.... It was a silent token of apology....

Soon Karishma Singh stopped the car in front of Anubhav's house.... His eyes were stuck on main door....

Haseena got down and went towards the door but before she could open the door Maa opened it from inside.... As soon as she saw Haseena she immediately hugged her while Haseena too reciprocated the hug with the same intensity.... When they broke the hug maa was scolding Haseena for not informing her and not calling her once which Haseena listened without any argument and apologized for the same.... Later both went inside laughing over something Haseena said....

Saying Anubhav was happy would be an understatement, he was overwhelmed.... His mother, who didn't like talking to anybody, except him and Karishma, after his father's death was talking so freely with Haseena....

He was always worried about his mother's health and well being when he used to go on any mission, but now, now he wasn't and the reason was Haseena... She had truly accepted his mother as her own, and for a moment Anubhav want to go and hug Haseena tight to thank her but alas he can't.....

Amar noticed Anubhav looking at the main door...

Amar: Sir aap shayad soch rahe honge ki yeh buzurg (Old) mahila kaun thi toh hum aapse share karna chahate hai ki voh Haseena ki Maa hai....

Listening to this statement a smile of satisfaction came on Anubhav's lips and he nodded....

Soon Haseena came with the file and gave it to Amar all this while avoiding any sort of eye contact with Anubhav.... Later Karishma Singh dropped everyone to MPT and now she along with Anubhav were heading towards the head quarters.... She was going to submit some files....

The ride was silent throughout but the silence felt like a burden to both..... Karishma stopped the car a bit away from headquarters in a deserted lane....

Karishma: Hum.... Hume aapse baat karni hai.... Bas Do minute bahar chal ke baat kar sakte hai???

Anubhav and Karishma got down....

Anubhav: Hum sunn rahe hai....

Karishma: Uss din.... Uss din jo bhi hua bhaiya hum usse badal toh nahi sakte par hum aapse apne gunah ki Kshama maangna chahate hai.... Humari Amma sahi kehti thi.... Humari na setting mein hi gadbad hai..... Ik baar bhi nahi socha ki aap jaisa insaan jo desh ke liye apne pyaar taq ko chod sakta hai voh desh ke saath gadari kaise kar sakta hai???

Anushma's eyes welled up but both controlled their tears

Karishma: Par sach kahe toh uss samay humari aakhon pe gusse ki patti iss tarah se bandhi hui thi hum sach dekh hi nahi paye aur uske liye hum aaj taq sharmida hai.... Aaj taq har raat humari yeh glani hume jeene nahi de rahi hai.... Aisa lagta hai ki andar se kissi cheez ne hume jakda hua hai bhaiya.... Isiliye aaj aapki yeh behan aapse nivedan kar rahi hai ki hume iss glani ke bandhan se azad kar dijiye bhaiya.... Hum khsma kar dijiye....

Anubhav (chuckled): Aapko pata hai Karishma Singh hum iss baat se dukhi nahi hai ki aapne humpe goli chalayi balki dukh toh iss baat ka hai ki aapne ik baar bhi hume mudke nahi dekha ki hum zinda hai ya mar gaye.....

Tears now fell freely from Karishma's eyes, while Anubhav turned around and continued speaking through heavy voice

Anubhav: Hum iss baat se avgat hai ki jisne humpe goli chalayi voh SI Karishma Singh thi jiske liye apne desh se badhkar koi nahi hai par dukh toh iss baat ka hai ki humari voh behna, jisse hum har saal rakhi bandhte the kyoki voh humari Suraksha karna chahati thi ussne..... Ussne ik baar bhi SI Karishma Singh ko rokne ki koshish nahi ki.....

Anubhav turned around....

Anubhav: Kya aapne hume goli maarne ke baad ik baar bhi yeh socha ki hum aisa kyu kar rahe honge??? Kya kaaran (Reason) raha hoga.... Ik baar bhi kissi se yeh pucha ki humara shav (dead body) kaha hai.... (angrily) Nahi.... Ik baar bhi nahi.... Isiliye humne yeh svikaar kar liya hai.... Ki humari behena, Humari Karishma Singh toh kahi kho gayi hai.... Aur jo iss samay humare saamne khadi hai voh SI Karishima Singh hai.... Humari junior.... Bas.... Aur kuch nahi....

Anubhav started leaving while Karishma held his hand...

Karishma: Bhaiya hume ik mauka toh dijiye..... Kya aap nahi chahate ki aapki behena jo kahi kho gayi ahi voh dubara aapko mile.... Hum... Hum aapko nirash nahi karenge....

Anubhav freed his hand left from there.... It was a silent approval to her request and Karishma Singh smiled with tears in her eyes....

In MPT

Pushpa ji and Santu were talking about something when Amar approached them...

Amar: Pushpa ji hume aapki ik help chahiye thi.... In fact aap dono ki....

Pushpa ji: Boliye na sir.... Yeh toh humara saubhagya hoga ki hum aapke kissi kaam aa sake....

Amar: Pushpa ji aapne toh humse zayada duniya dekhi hai toh aap hume bataiye na ki....

Pushpa ji: Ki...

Amar: ki kaise kissi se apne dil ki baat kehete hai....

Pushpa ji: Kya hum jo samajh rahe hai voh-

Amar nodded vigorously

Pushpa ji: (Doing her famous action) Isshhh.... Lalla ke papa

Amar got scared and took a step behind....

Amar: Yeh kya hua???

Santosh: Sharma rahi hai....

Amar: Aise???

Santu nods...

Pushpa ji (excitedly): Kaun hai, kaun hai, kaun hai voh???

Amar: Aaram se Pushpa ji abhi pata nahi hai ki unki taraf se kya jawab hai???

Pushpa ji: Arre sir ha hi hoga aapko koi kyu mana karega....

Amar: Pushpa ji please na.... Ik baar voh ha bol de phir sabse pehele aapko hi batayenge....

Pushpa ji: Toh kya voh aapki dost hai???

Amar: Aa.... Keh sakte hai.... Matlab pata nahi....

Puspa ji: Aapko unhe apne dil ki baat letter mein likh ke deni chahiye....

Santosh: Kya pushee aap bhi.... Yeh aaj ka zamana hai voh letter vala nahi.... Aur phir kya pata voh padhe na padhe.... Aaj kal kiske paas itna time hota hai.... Agar mai unki jagah hoti toh pakka ignore kar deti....

Pushpa ji: Arre Santu tum toh saamne sidhe boli hui baat ko bhi ignore kar deti ho....

Santosh: Matlab??

Pushpa ji: Voh tum Cheeteh se puchna.... Filhaal humare sujhav se behtar koi sujhav ho toh batao....

Santosh: Hai na.... Sir aaj kal ki ladkiyo ko na flirting bahut pasand hai.... Matlab voh ladki jo shaadi ke naam se bhagti ho, jo har baar aaye hue shaadi ke rishto ko bhane de kar mana kar de voh bhi saamne se aapko propose kar sakti hai agar.... Agar uske saath aap acche se flirt karo, agar use aap mein voh saari khubi dikhe jo use apne ideal life patner mein chaiye.... Aur mujhe yeh bhi pata hai ki aapko isske liye kaun help kar sakta hai....

Amar: Kaun???

Santosh (In a matter-of-fact voice): DSP sir
