In MPT

Amar: Karishma Singh hume aapse ik baat puchni thi....

Karishma: Puchiye sir....

Amar: Voh... Commissioner sir ki beti.... Divya voh Haseena ji ko chachi kyu bula rahi thi....

Karishma: Divi.... Sir divi kissi ko kuch bhi bula sakti hai.... Pichli baar isne madam sir ko mausi bana liya tha..... 

Amar: Oh.... Accha aur aap dono commissoner sir ko itna acche se kaise jaante hai???

Karishma: Commissioner sir aur humare bhaiya saath mein padhte the toh voh hume toh pehele se hi jaante the aur hum mission jeet ke baad report dene ik raat commissioner sir ke ghar pe ruke the toh tab madam sir aur commissioner sir ki patni Sandhya ki bhi dosti ho gayi thi....

Amar: Oh.... Karishma Singh kabhi aap hume apne bhaiya se bhi milwana.... 

Karishma: Ji sir....

******** 

Later that day in Commissioner's Study

Santosh went away to MPT while Haseena stayed due to Commissioner's request....   

Haseena: Sir this was something serious.... Iss tarah ik choti bacchi ko uski nanny kaise akela chod sakti hai....

Commissioner: Voh nanny..... She was a damn fraud..... But chinta mat karo police force is after her..... (Haseena nodded) Haseena aaj tume jo kiya.... I don't have words to thank you.... 

Haseena: Sir please.... Divya humari bhi toh kuch lagti hai na....

Commissioner: Par phir bhi.... Aapka humare upar yeh ehsaan hai ....

Haseena: Sir aap aisa keh ke hume sharminda na kare....

A message popped up on Commissioner's phone ... It was Anubhav's and Haseena too noticed it.... It reads "Reached Safely" 

Haseena: Sir.... Anubhav abhi kaha hai....

Commissioner: It's confidential Haseena.... 

Haseena: Oh.... Kya voh kabhi Lucknow vapas aayenge???

Commissioner: Ha.... 

Haseena: Sir hum jaana chahate hai ki mission behrupiya ke vakt kya hua tha???

Commissioner: It's not my place to tell you Haseena.... You and Karishma.... You both have broken his heart.... his trust.... and him.... (A tear rolled down from Haseena's eyes) Aapko pata hai Haseena jab uske seene mein teen goliyaan thi tabhi bhi usse sirf aapke aur Karishma ki  chinta thi.... Behosh hone se pehele ussne humse vada liya tha ki hum aapke aur Karishma ke upar inquiry na baithne de.... Aur aap dono ne.... (He shook his head in disappointment) 

Sandhya (Shouted): Digvijay.... Please idhar aaiye....

Commissioner: Excuse me....

Saying this he went out.... Haseena closed her eyes and two more tears fell down.... She opened her eyes at the sound of a notification on commissioner's phone....

Haseena (in mind): Commissioner sir ka phone.... Iss mein Anubhav ka number zarur hoga.... 

She open commissioner's phone and fortunately it was not locked.... She then took out Anubhav's number from his phone and came out of the study room....

Haseena (To Sandhya): Ab hume bhi chalna chahiye....

Sandhya: Haseena khaana toh kha ke jaiye....

Haseena: Aaj nahi Sandhya.... Phir khabhi.... Abhi ghar jaa ke dawai khaani hai....

Sandhya nodded inn understanding.... She gave Haseena a friendly hug....

Sandhya: Take care...

Haseena: You too.... 

Saying this she went out of the house....

As soon as Haseena entered her car she made a call to Santosh..... 

Santosh (on call): Jai Hind madam sir....

Haseena: Jai hind.... Santosh Sharma aap iss vakt kaha hai???

Santosh: Madam sir aapko meri kitni chinta hai na.... Aapne yeh check karne ke liye phone kiya ki mai thik se pahuch gayi ki nahi....  Thank you madam sir....

Haseena: Welcome Santosh ab kya aap hume yeh batane ki zemat karengi ki aap iss vakt kaha hai???

Santosh: Madam sir Cheeteh ki night duty hai toh ab mai police quarters mein aa gayi hu.... 

Haseena: Good.... Santosh Sharma aapko humara ik personal kaam karna hoga....

Santosh: Kya karna hai madam sir???

Haseena: dhundhna hai....

Santosh: Ladka dhundna hai..... Par voh toh Pushpa ji....

Haseena(interrupting): Nahi....  Nahi.... Hume voh nahi keh rahe.... Hum aapko ik number send kiya hai uski location hume bhejiye.... 

Santosh: Ji madam sir.... 

After a few minutes....

Santosh: Hello..... Madam sir...

Haseena: Ji... ji Santosh Sharma.... Kuch pata chala???

Santosh: Madam sir... Yeh phone toh currently switched off hai... Aur iska last location Lucknow airport ka dikha raha hai....

Haseena: Thank you Santosh Sharma.... Itna kaafi hai... 

Santosh: Anytime madam sir..... Jai Hind

Haseena: Jai hind....

Haseena hanged up

*********

In Outskirts of Lucknow at 12:00 a.m.

There was an elegant house on one side of secluded streets of outskirts of Lucknow.... Haseena stopped the car in front of the house.... 

Haseena (to herself): Finally.... 

She came out of her car and ranged the doorbell.... 2 minutes went by, but nobody opened the door....  

Haseena (in mind): Hume hi kholna hoga....

Haseena looked under the doormat for the key but surprisingly it was not there.... She then took out a pin from her hairs and opened the door.... And as soon as she opened the door Anubhav came in front of her...

Anubhav: Aap??? Voh bhi iss vakt??? Aur aapko kaise gyaat hua ki hum yaha....

Haseena: Sab batayenge.... Pehele  andar aa jaye.... Side please....

Anubhav didn't move.... Haseena shook her head and started coming towards Anubhav.... Anubhav took two steps back and thus unknowingly let Haseena inside....

Haseena: Dekha.... itna mushkil nahi tha na.... Vaise ghar kaafi khoobsurat hai.... 

Anubhav: Aap yeh bataiye ki aapko kaise gyaat hua ki hum yaha rehete hai....

Haseena: Pehele aapka phone number dhoodha.... 

Anubhav: Digvijay ne aapko....

Haseena: Nahi.... Unhone nahi diya humne chupke se le liya..... Ha toh phir humne Santosh se kaha ki  aapka phone track kare....

Anubhav: Par voh switched offf tha....

Haseena: Right (Sat on the couch)....  Toh aapki last location airport thi.... Baith jaiye na.... 

Haseena pulled him down.... And due to the suddenness of Haseena's action Anubhav sat down beside her but immediately created distance between them.

Haseena: Phir hum airport gaye vaha ke cameras check kiye.... Aap jis taxi mein baithe the uss ki number plate dikh gayi... Voh taxi jiske naam pe registered thi uska number liya phir humne uss insaan se contact kiya aur aapke iss ghar ka address maang liya.... Simple....

Anubhav: Aisa kya hua hai ki aap humse iss samay milne aayi hai???

Haseena (chuckled): Bahut selfish hai hum Anubhav.... Aur humari issi selfishness ke chalte hum idhar iss vakt aa gaye...

Anubhav: Aapke kehene ka tatparya hum samjhe nahi (Confused).... Aap jo bhi kehna chahati hai saaf saaf kehiye... 

Haseena: Aur nahi hota humse.... Roz adar hi andar humara dil guilt se daba chala ja raha hai.... (Anubhav got up... Haseena too got up) Humne.... Humne bina tehkikat kiye aap pe..... (Tears pooled in her eyes) I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry Anubhav.... 

Anubhav: Kya kiya aapne??? (Anubhav turned around)

Haseena: Hum aapka tanz samjhte hai Anubhav par hum kya karte.... Uss samay hume kuch sujh nahi raha tha.... (Haseena said helplessly.... Anubhav swiftly turned towards)

Anubhav: Aap.... Haseena Mallik.... Jazbaato ki Mallika humare jazbaat kyu nahi samajh payi??? Humari Khamoshi kyu nahi samajh paayi??? Kyu??? Humare saath hi aapne aisa kyu kiya??? (Some tears betrayed her eyes and came out) Aapko pata hai humne backup team le jane se mana kar diya tha.... Koi bullet proof jacket.... koi savdhani kuch nahi li.... Pata hai kyu??? Kyuki hume aisa bhram tha ki humari premika hume kissi bhi prakaar ki kshati nahi pahuchayegi.... Parantu hum Murkh the... Murkh..... 

Haseena spoke nothing just silently hugged Anubhav.... Anubhav too cried in her embrace but didn't reciprocate the hug..... Haseena rubbed his back and was continuously murmuring apologies to him....

After some time, Anubhav calmed down, he took a deep breath and came out of Haseena's embrace.... 

Anubhav: Iss vishay ke atirikt aapko humse kuch kehena hai.... 

Haseena: Ha... Anubhav aap jab yaha vapas aa hi gaye hai toh aap ik baar Maa se mil..... 

Anubhav: Nahi....

Haseena: Par kyu... Voh ab bhi yeh sochti hai ki aap humari sagai ke baad se laute hi nahi ho....

Anubhav: Unke liye yahi ucchit hai.... Hum un se nahi mil sakte....

Haseena: Par Kyu???

Anubhav (frustratingly): Kyuki hum har samay shatruo se ghire rehete hai aur hum yeh kadapi nahi chahate ki hume kamzor karne ke liye   shatru humare apno ko mohara banaye.... Aur kuch kehena chahati hai aap....

Haseena nodded.... Anubhav asked her to speak....

Haseena: I love you.... 

Anuseena shared an eye lock.... Anubhav was the first one to break it.... 

Anubhav: Hum aapke ucchayadhikaari hai.... Bas... Aur kuch nahi....

Haseena (Shook her head mischievously): Aap humare sab kuch hai.... 

Saying this went out of his house.... Anubhav came behind her.... It was raining heavily... Haseena sat inside her car.... She then tried to start her car, but the car was not starting....

Haseena came out of the car.... Her cyan colored shirt was now completely drenched.... She opened the car's bonnet.... She was struggling to hold the flashlight of her phone and toolbox

Anubhav too came out to help her.... He asked her to give him the phone which Haseena readily gave.... Haseena then checked the car....

Haseena: Hume samjh nahi aa raha ki car mein kya kharabi hai... Yaha aas paas koi mechanic hai kya???

Anubhav: Yaha aas paas iss samay koi nahi hai.... Aap aaj raat humare yaha reh sakti hai....

Haseena: Hum cab.... (Suddenly the flashlight turned off) Humara phone (took her phone from Anubhav's hand....)

Anubhav: Battery khattam ho gayi hai.... Ab aapke kya vichaar hai???

Haseena: Aa jate hai par humari ik shart hai.... Hum aapke saath aapke kamre mein soyenge....

Anubhav: Aana hai toh aaiye nahi aana hai toh na aaiye....  Paratu hum koi shart vart nahi maan rahe hai.... 

Saying this he went inside....

Haseena: Khadoos.... Aa rahe hai hum....

She too got inside his house....
