Hi everyone, Be safe and enjoy!!!

"Bhayya!!! Go outside, let me get her change." Karishma added as she saw the three of them had gained their composure a little. Anubhav nodded and left the washroom not before giving his lady love a quick peck on her head to which she smiled faintly, fully drained. Karishma had helped Haseena changing into dried clothes and then supported her out of the washroom holding her through her shoulder and arms, carefully lying her down on the bed, she saw her still panting heavily and looking pale. "Anu bhayya!! She needs medical attention...." Karishma said sitting beside her and rubbing her palms. "Yes.....I will go and call the doctor!!!" he said and was about to move towards the exit door but realized, "Wait!!! But where we are? Is there any doctor here?" He asked turning back towards them. "Oh yes, I forgot....that actually we have been abducted." She taunted looking at Haseena who smiled faintly and gestured towards a keypad beside her bed attached on the wall. Anubhav looked there and found a number of keys, for instance, medical facility, cleaning facility, kitchen facility, etc. With a creased forehead, he looked at Karishma and pressed the medical facility key. He waited for two seconds, "now what?" he asked as nothing happened. Haseena gestured to him to be patient through her palms.

Two minutes later, they heard a knock on their door, Anubhav moved to open it, "Stop!!" she added suddenly realizing something. "Why? What happened?" Karishma asked who had been sitting by her side. She gestured towards her mask placed on the table in front of her, "Mask??" she nodded and they handed it over to her though they are extremely puzzled. Karishma had put that same blue mask on Haseena's face and Anubhav had opened the gate. As soon as he opened doctor barged into the door, "What happened to mam?" she was so panicked that she did not bother who was present beside her just ran towards her and started examining her. "What had happened?" she asked. Haseena gestured to Anubhav to tell her to which he obliged. "Hmm......I was expecting this......the way she was behaving from past one week.......anyways, I am giving you an injection, there is no need to get worried, it's good that you have vented most of the things......soon you will regain your energy," the doctor said and injected a needle in her arms while Karishma asked, "What do you mean by, 'the way she was behaving from past one week'....." she asked the doctor. "Like a robot, devoid of all sorts of emotions, just yesterday I had taken a bullet from her arm without anesthesia and she did not even hissed, as if nothing happened." The doctor responded only to get a glare from her and she instantly apologized, "I am sorry!!! So sorry!! I will take your leave.....press the button if you need me again." Karishma was staring at Haseena who turned her gaze away from her, doctor was about to exit the room when Anubhav called her from behind, "wait, at least tell me, where are we?" "Only she can answer this question??" the doctor responded and left the room.

Anubhav looked at her who responded, "Relax, you are safe.....open that wardrobe and changed yourself first.....both of you......Karishma presses the kitchen facility.....they will send breakfast by then......" "But Haseena, we want answers.....no more hiding please...." Karishma added sternly. Haseena nodded and added, "I promise.....no more hiding.....but first we three need to eat something to get the much-needed energy to say and listen to the truth.....please...trust me..." "Okay!!" she responded and they both did as told by her.

Taking the food trolley from the kitchen staff, Karishma had first supported Haseena to sit upon the bed, then placed the meal on the bed. It was then Anubhav returned from the washroom after changing and the three of them settled together to share their meal after what it felt like an eternity. "Come on open the lid, Karishma," Haseena added smiling. "Dosas!!!" Karishma exclaimed in joy, Haseena chuckled at her cute innocent response, she was yearning to see. "Anu, pick up that one...." She gestured towards the pot. "Aloo paratha! Wow!!" Anubhav rubbed his hands with relishing mouth. They both were serving themselves their favorites with wide smiles, while Haseena was looking at them smiling through her tears. "Haseena ji!!" "What happened Haseena?" they both instantly tended towards her tears getting serious. Haseena first took, Karishma's hands and kissed them both; she did the same with Anubhav's hands while a tear dropped at Anubhav's hand through her eyes. Both the brother sister's eyes got wet too, He wiped her tears through his thumb and shook his head in negative. Haseena nodded, placed her both hands on their cheeks, and added, "You had been through so much, because of me.....today I will feed you both with me own hands." Tearing a morsel from Karishma's plate she forwarded it to her who opened her mouth for her, ready to feel the bliss.....as the morsel touched her taste buds, a tear dropped her eyes- tear of happiness and peace. She then took a bite from his plate and forwarded to his mouth who take in the morsel from her hands and closed his eyes, feeling a sense of peace, that moment had eradicated all his pains and longings. Next Karishma and Anubhav both fed Haseena one bite from their plate, turn by turn, giving her the same blissful feeling they had just experienced. With wet eyes, and wide smiles, in complete silence, enjoying each other's presence, the three of them had their breakfast to their heart's fill, feeding each other after almost half a month.

"Haseena, now will you please take the effort of answering our questions?" Anubhav asked impatiently, "Please Haseena, or else my head will explode...." Karishma added rubbing her forehead with her fingers. Haseena chuckled and added, "Okay, go ahead.....ask your questions?" "Where are we?" Anubhav at once threw the questions. "Intelligence Organization secret base Uttar Pradesh" she responded calmly. "Okay....." he added and then realized what she just said, "What?????" he screamed in shock as soon as her words sank in. Haseena bit her lips at both of their wide-open eyes and mouths in utter shock. "Why....i mean how....i mean....." He could not form words. "As far as I know, except a few most senior intelligence officers none could have access to this base.......then how come you are here......especially when you are not even a member of I.O." Karishma asked her giving words to his brother's shock.

"Hmm.....so I guess, finally it is the time to introduce myself.....but first Anu you tell us about seniority levels in Intelligence organization," She asked with a confident smile. With a creased forehead, Anubhav added, "At the base level, there are a number of field agents who are spread all over the country in different state departments, public and private sector as well as in underworld. Above them comes, Senior Intelligence Officer-1 who takes direct orders from the Intelligence organization and often plays a mediator between field agents and I.O. Next comes Senior Intelligence Officer- 2 who is the deputy chief of the Intelligence Organization, his name is Raghav Shah. And then comes the most senior Chief of Intelligence Organization- Aarav Khanna" "Absolutely right, you must have heard about some mysterious changes in Intelligence organization?" She asked. "Yes, when instead of Raghav Sir, a field agent came to inform me about my next mission." He responded. "Yes, that's because Senior Intelligence officer- 2 Raghav Shah, is no more the most senior after Aarav Sir." She paused to let the truth sink in. "He is not the senior-most.......but how is it possible.....I mean in the whole Intelligence organization none was more competent than him.......if he is not then who is? And how do you know all this....." Anubhav asked completely baffled while Karishma was listening to them confused. "I know this because I had taken over his position as deputy chief of Intelligence organization.......I am Senior Intelligence Officer-3 Haseena Malik........yes, he still owes his title of S.I.O-2 but now he reports to me, not to Aarav Sir." Haseena had reintroduced herself to them with taking proper pauses who were now staring at her with utterly shocked expressions, with wide-open mouths and bulged out eyes......reality is hard to believe for them.

Haseena was waiting for them to say something but they were still in shock and was checking her out from every angle. "Come on, if you both will take so much time in coming out of one shock then it will take a week to reveal the whole story and I seriously do not have this much time.........because tonight at 8 p.m. we had to write the final chapter of scorpion gang," Haseena had taunted them. "Ah......sorry!!!.....So, continue please...." Karishma added attentively. "But, Haseena ji how did this happen? I mean were you a secret agent from starting?" He asked. "No, Anu in fact, until three months ago I was just an ordinary S.H.O of woman Police Station Lukhnow.......at least that's what I thought of myself....." She responded. "Meaning?" He asked. "Let me tell you everything from start......" Haseena took a pause and then started her story.

"So, technically it all started almost three months ago after the terrorist attacks of Tehran, in which 100 people died at the spot. At that time our Intelligence organization knew just one piece of the puzzle and that is 'Next target of Scorpion gang is a city of India' where, how, when......there was no information. Obviously, Aarav Sir and Mr. Raghav had activated all their field agents all over the country and found out which city is under their radar. By then, I was not in the picture anywhere." Haseena paused and took a moment to look at their attentive expressions.

Resuming her story she added, "Karishma you remember the day Shalini entered in Police Station, she had been wearing a ring of scorpion-shaped carving. It was the sign of her gang. Anyways, the first time I doubted something suspicious when she had sneakily attached a nano-microphone on my wristwatch to keep an eye on me. Though at that time I do not know about the scorpion gang and their mission, I chose to keep my mouth shut, as I wanted to reach to her motive. Soon, I realized that she is not my real childhood friend Shalini because of a birthmark. Anyways, unknown to all the Police department of Lukhnow including myself, she had installed secret spy cameras and microphones in headquarters and in my Police station. One thing which is very significant about the scorpion gang is that they always target something unique and you know what they found the most unique in our country, 'my unusual ways of solving the cases and my success in bringing back public trust on Police department' and they decided to Target Lukhnow. Do you remember that video clip and that man in it who also had the tattoo of the scorpion, then the laptop we confiscated from Hashim's place it also had a scorpion sticker.......that was their very first attempt to break me.....and there It was not in my farthest imagination that something like that is going on." Karishma interrupted her, "But, I am still not being able to understand, was it enough reason to destroy Lukhnow.....I mean if they would have target Delhi or Mumbai.....they could have achieved a bigger name in the terrorist world?" Her words had raised tension in her face and she added, "You are right, I was not the only reason.........there was another reason which came in front of me very late.......enmity of scorpion gang with Singh family." "What????" they both shouted shocked. She nodded and added, "For how and why, please wait for the story to end....." her words had instilled great confusion in them but they chose to wait patiently.

Taking a deep breath she added once again, "You remember I was having doubts on Hashim being innocent, and when I expressed my doubt to you in my cabin that day, Shalini had listened to it. So, she had gotten Hashim abducted from Jail through these two criminals, Raju and Bittu." She added and punched a button on her laptop, placed it in front of them on the bed itself to show their pictures to them. "But.......aren't they the same whom you were chasing that day......that means you had lied to us that day," Karishma at once added remembering that incident. "I know baby.....I had lied a lot....but please let me continue...." She added glaring her a little for her interruption. "Anyways, Raju and bittu took Hashim to Danny on his hideout where they were about to kill him but he escaped from there. From the other side, Jail authorities had informed me about Hashim's jail escape at the time when I had just found out about her sister's murder and her mother's mysterious kidnapping. Unaware of Scorpion's involvement in it and of my activities being spied by them, I decided to look for Hashim. The weather was also very bad that day when Hashim came in front of my car. It was raining heavily with stormy winds, I stepped out of my car and fortunately, my watch which had microphone had fallen in water on the road, as a result, ruining both. Hashim was telling me that he had not run from jail but they had forced him when Danny who had been following him, had shot him and ran away taking the cover of dark night and stormy weather. Hashim died right in front of me but before losing his life he had informed me about the scorpion gang. I pledged at his body to eliminate them but by then I did not know what a drastic change this pledge would bring in my life." She paused with a tear dropped from her eyes remembering Hashim's death. Wiping it away at the next instant, she punched another key and opened three pictures, "Other side, Aarav sir and Raghav had recognized me being the reason of Lukhnow chosen as a target by Scorpion gang when they found out that along with head-quarters my police Station was the only one to get spied by scorpions. The first thing did was to call back all their active agents of Lukhnow and secondly these three officers of S.I.O-1 rank, were sent to the underworld of Lukhnow; Officer Manisha Chauhan disguised as Mano, Officer Jagdesh Oberoi as Jagga, and officer Gaurav Kapoor as Guddu. And when Hashim died, they kidnapped me from beside his dead body, after which I entered into the picture in reality." 

That's it for today......I know it is a bit short and is boring too........but don't worry tomorrow's would be interesting........

So stay tuned to witness how Haseena Malik became the boss of Anubhav's Boss!!!!
