It was a normal day at MPT… AS entered to see the team members engrossed in work, “Kya baat hai… aaj aap log kaam kar rahe hai… Waah… Hume bohot prassanta hue yeh dekh ke…” Everyone was alerted, “Jai Hind Sir…” “Jai Hind… Jari rakhiye… Hum Haseena ji se milne aaye the…” AS said… “Aap MS se milne hi toh thane aate hai…” PS said… AS gave a surprised look to PS… “Matlab… MS SHO hai na… toh aap unse daily report lene aate hai na…” SS covered… “Haan… Haan… Hum aise aa rahe the…” PS said… “Ji… Hum aate hai…” saying so AS went to HM’s cabin… She was engrossed in reading the Mission File… “Jai Hind Haseena Ji” AS said grabbing her attention… “Jai Hind Sir… Aap yaha…??” “Nahi aa sakte…??” “Humara matlab hai… kuch kaam tha aapko??” HM said… AS silently slid a piece of paper towards HM… “Routine visit pe aaye the…” He said… HM read the paper and nodded her head… “Everything is fine Sir…” HM replied… “Good… Chalte hai…” AS said and left…
“Ammi… Hum kaam se baher ja rahe hai… aap humara wait mat kijiye… Aur sone se pehle dawai lena mat bhuliyega…” HM said… She was dressed in a simple salwar and kurta rather than her usual Jeans and Shirt, even her hair not in her usual ponytail… “Aise kaha ja rahi ho?? Woh bhi itne raat ko??” Ammi asked… “Kuch Kaam hai Ammi… Aapko aakar batate hai… Chalte hai…” AS was waiting outside… She quickly got in and waited for AS to start the car… But he was lost in her… She was feeling awkward but managed to say, “Sir… Chalen??” AS was startled… He quickly recovered and drove off to the destination…
They reached a lake side… HM gave AS a questioning look… “Kya??” AS asked… “Hum yaha kya kar rahe hai Sir??” “Hum yaha date pe aaye hai Haseena ji…” AS replied with a flirty smile… “Ji…?” “Aap bhi kamal karti hai Haseena ji… Subah humne aapko kagaz pe kya likh kar diya tha??” AS asked… “Aapne likha tha ratri bhojan ke baad taiyar rahiye Mission sambandhit kaam se baher jana hai…” HM repeated the words written on the paper… “Agar humne aisa likha hai aur aapko yaha le aaye hai toh zahir si baat hai ke Mission sambandhit kaam se hum yaha aaye honge…” AS said sarcastically… “Lekin yahi kyu sir??” “Acha toh aap aise aa rahi thi…” HM chuckled and said, “Sir aap PS, SS aur CC ke saath thoda kam time bitaya kijiye… unka asar ho raha hai aap par…” “Sahi kaha aapne… Aapka bohot gehra asar hua hai hum par…” AS said while looking into her eyes… He was not letting go of any chance of flirting with her… “Ahmm… Mission pe focus kare sir??” HM said… “Humara focus mission par hi hai…” He said looking at her… “Sir…” HM said irritatedly… “Humare Officer ko marne ke baad Tanya ne apne liye ek naya premi dhunda hai… Woh kaun hai ye pata nahi chal paya hai… Parantu Tanya abhi usse yaha milne wali hai… Isiliye hum yaha aaye hai… Taki uske naye premi ke bare mei pata laga paye…” HM gave an understanding nod…
It had been an hour since they were waiting for Tanya to arrive… HM’s patience ran out… “Aap sure hai sir woh log yahi milne wale hai??” “Haseena ji ek ache agent ka sabse pehla hunar hota hai dheeraj… Aur hum shatpratishat sure hai… yahi aayenge dono…” HM rolled her eyes at his taunt and looked out of the window… “Ice-cream khayengi??” AS asked… HM looked at him and nodded… “Chaliye…” Before she could open the door, he held her hand and stopped her, “Ek min… Yeh sambhavna ho sakti hai ke Tanya ne yaha aane se pehle, neerikshan karne ke liye log bheje ho… Toh aap hume kuch samay ke liye Sir nahi bulayengi… Kisiko bhi sandeh nahi hona chahiye ke hum policewale hai…” “Ji Sir…” HM said and signalled him to leave her hand… AS reluctantly let go and got down from the car…
HM sat on the car’s bonnet while AS left to get the ice-cream… She was enjoying the cool breeze when AS saw her from afar… He remembered the last time they had ice-cream together… He was trying to get her to talk to her Chachaji about their marriage… “Rekha se shayad thoda aage” she had said joking about him being past marriageable age… He smiled and wished for those lovely days to return… Just like last time he carried the two cones and handed one to her… “Aapko kaise pata hume Vanilla pasand hai…?” HM asked looking at the ice-cream he had got for her… “Aapki har pasand hum jante hai…” He said with a smile… She tried to avoid looking at him and turned her head… Her eyes fell on a bike approaching and the street light confirmed it to be KS… “KS…” she said and both looked at each other shocked… They immediately ran and sat inside the car as they couldn’t afford to be spotted especially by KS…
They watched KS pass by while ducking down in the car… Both breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and broke into laughter… Thankfully AS had got an unmarked car from the department, which is why they went unnoticed… Between all the laughing AS noticed some ice-cream on HM’s chin… He ignored the urge to wipe it off himself and handed her a tissue from the glovebox… Seeing that she was unable to clean it, “Hum kar dete hai…” As said… While AS was helping out HM, there was a knock on his window… “Ae… kya ho raha hai andar…? Chalo bahar aao…?” a constable said angrily… Both looked at him then at each other… worried their cover will be blown… “Aap andar baithiye… hum dekhte hai…” AS said and got down… He expected a change of expression on the constable’s face but… “Andar kya chal raha tha…?? Dono ko obscenity ke liye andar kar du kya??” the constable reprimanded… “Kaunsi sanity??” AS asked confused… “Obscenity…” constable answered… “Aap naye hai sheher mei??” AS asked… “Haan… lekin usse tumko kya??” the constable replied… That is why he had not recognised AS…
There was tap on the constable’s shoulder… By the time he turned to look who it was, HM came and stood between them… her back facing AS… “Kya problem ho gayi sir…? Aap humse baat kijiye…” HM said… “Madam hum sir se baat kar rahe hai na…” “Aap…” AS tried to say something but HM cut him in between… “Hum handle kar rahe hai na… ek min” She looked at the constable and said, “Aap humse bhi baat kar lijiye… kahiye kya problem ho gayi hai sir…?? Aap humare… ae… a… shohar ko obscene bula rahe hai aur humse umeed karte hai ki hum andar baithe chupchap sunte rahe??” AS’s eyes popped out… Before he had called himself her husband and now, she was calling him the same… He wished it to turn into reality very soon… “Kya…?” the constable asked… so did AS… “Sho… Shohar hai yeh humare… humare… pati hai… Hum ice-cream ka maza utha rahe hai… itna suhana mausam hai… aur aap hai ki humare rang mei bhang dal rahe hai…” “Yeh aapke shohar hai??” constable asked… “Ji…” “Aap dono married hai??” “Ji…” “Lagta toh nahi hai…” AS had worried expression… “Arre sir… abhi hum roz nayi naveli dulhan ki tarah saje rahe kya?? Aur agar aapko yakeen nahi ho raha toh aap humare saath humare ghar chaliye hum aapko marriage certificate dikha dete hai…” HM said confidently… AS had turned into a mere spectator with surprise coming his way every moment… “Na sindoor, na mangalsutra… Hum kaise maan le ke yeh aapke shohar hai…?” AS coughed… HM looked at him… “Bataiye…” It seemed to AS as HM had dug her own grave… Now he was curious how she was going to handle the situation… “Sir aap log bhi na bohot jyada TV serials dekhte hai… Ab raat ke samay bhi hum sindoor aur mangalsutra pehne ghume…??” Was she going to reason the constable like this?? She was going to fail terribly, AS thought… “Ek min… Aap DSP Singh ko jante hai??” she asked all of a sudden… She had changed the game altogether… “DSP Singh??” constable asked fearfully… “Ji DSP Singh… Hum jante hai unhe…” she turned and said to AS, “Ek min humara phone dijiye…” AS looked at her questioningly… “Dijiye na…” AS did as she asked… “Hum… hum… Humare shaadi ke reception mei aaye the woh… lijiye hum dail kar dete hai unka number… aap khud unse puch lijiye…” “Jaane do na madam… itni raat ko unko kya disturb karna…” the constable was frightened… “Hai na… itna acha Mausam hai… aap bhi apni gf ya wife ko lekar kahi ghumne jaiye… aapka mood bhi sahi rahega…” AS was looking at her stupefied… “Takleef ke liye Sorry madam…” “Koi baat nahi… Good night” “Ab aap bhi jaiye aur so jaiye… Good Night” and with that the constable left…
HM turned to AS… “Shohar??? DSP Singh???” he said with a sarcastic smile… “Bacha liya na…” HM said… AS smiled shaking his head… Even he couldn’t think of an excuse to send away the constable without revealing his identity… Just when he was admiring her, he saw the reason for their visit to the lake side… “Haseena ji…” he said… “Kya baat hai sir…??” “Tanya… aapke piche… aur uske saath koi hai… Hum aapki tasveer lene ke bahane un dono ki tasveer lete hai…” HM quickly pretended to pose for the camera… AS clicked multiple pictures and nodded towards HM… He had secretly clicked few of her pictures as well…
Both sat in the car and left… First Task completed… Pictures taken… Memories made…
