“Jai Hind Sir…” “Jai Hind Haseena ji… aaiye…” HM smiled and walked in… “Bas hume 2 min dijiye… hum ye kaam khatam kar lete hai fir hum niyantran kaksh challenge… Tabhi taka ap baithiye…” Her phone rang… “It’s OK sir… aap kaam khatam kar lijiye hum phone attend kar lete hai… “Yeh bhi uchit hai…” AS smiled and HM answered the call while walking out… “Haan Zubair boliye…” AS heard the name… before he could stop her, she had already left the cabin… “……” “Aisi baat nahi hai… hum aapko kaise bhul sakte hai… Kaam mei masroof hai isiliye waqt nahi mil pa raha…” “……” “Acha baba sorry… Aur bataiye… kaise yaad kiya aaj aapne??” “……” “Ohh… Mansi aayi hai… Kaisi hai woh…?? Jara phone dijiye…” “……” “Hi… Kaisa hai mera baby??” “……” HM didn’t notice AS had walked out and was standing right behind her… “Aww… Naraz hai humse…?? Lekin hum toh aapko bohot miss karte hai… Aap hume nahi miss karte…” “……” “Yeh case khatam hote hi hum pakka aapse milne aayenge…” “……” “Haan baby… Promise… Abhi hume jana hoga… baad mei baat karte hai… Take Care…” “……” “I love you too baby…”
HM turned to find a sad AS standing behind… He looked as if his breath was taken away, he had lost all the purpose to live… “Kya hua sir…? Aap thik hai??” she asked… “Hum… Hum thik hai Haseena ji… Aapka call ho gaya ho toh chale??” She understood something was wrong… Maybe he had heard her conversation and misunderstood the situation… She fought an urge to facepalm herself… She remembered last night’s incidents… Why was he so possessive about her, when he claims to have no feelings for her? She decided to relieve him of his misery… “Chale sir…” AS nodded and they started walking towards the control room… “Aaj kafi dino baad Mansi itna khush lag rahi thi…” AS gave her a confused look… “Abhi phone par… Choti Maa ke arrest ke baad bohot depressed thi… Isiliye hum uspe kuch jyada dhyan dete hai… Aaj woh Orphanage aayi thi toh Zubair ne baat karwa di…” Every word brought back life into AS’s heart… It was beating again… A smile appeared on his face… “Kya baat hai Sir… aap achanak muskurane lage…?? Abhi toh itne sad lag rahe the…” HM teased… “Ji koi… koi baat nahi hai…” AS fumbled… “Sachi??” She asked with a teasing smile and entered the control room… AS didn’t know how to react… He composed himself and walked in…
HM and AS had collected the recordings from the control room and currently were listening to the conversation between JS and Tanya… SO was also present… “Pranaam Tanya Madam ji… Ka seva kar sakte hai aapka??” JS said… “Tum jante ho hume kya chahiye Jagat Seth…” “Jante hai Madam ji… tanik dheeraj rakhiye… aise kaamo mei samay lagta hai… aur risk bhi toh jyada hota hai…” “Risk ki kimaat hum chuka rahe hai tumhe… Waise maine suna tha bohot powerful aadmi ho tum, bohot chalti hai tumhari lucknow mei… lekin aisa lagta toh nahi hai…” Tanya said hurting JS’s ego… “Humari taqat ka andaz aapko tab hoga jab hum aapko batayenge ke aapka kaam ho gaya hai… Parso Delhi aa jayiyega…” “Delhi mei kaha…??" "Hotel Blue Star mei party hai… Party mei aa raha hai woh…” “Hmm… parso milte hai…” “Madam Ji flight ka ticket bhej dene…” “Mil jayega… Lekin koi galti nahi honi chahiye… Warna tum boss ko jante ho… goli pehle marte hai wajah baad mei puchte hai… aur unka thoda asar mujhpe bhi hua hai…” “Ji Madam Ji…” AS stopped the recorder and looked at both the people in the room…
“Yeh kiski party ki baat ho rahi thi??” SO asked… “Mahoday humne pata lagaya hai ke Hotel Blue Star mei parso ek hi party hai… Koi Businessman hai Rajnish Malhotra… In shreeman ke putr ka swagat smaroh hai…” AS answered and saw a confused look on both of their faces… “Translate please…” HM requested… “Reception Party…” AS replied with a smile causing HM to roll her eyes… “Humne athitiyon ki suchi niklwane ka prayas kiya… parantu koi sandigdh vyakti pratit nahi ho raha hai…” AS continued… “Hmm… Kya plan hai??” SO asked as he was sure both his officers would have already worked on that part… “Sir hum us party mei as guests jayenge… Us insaan ko spot karenge jisse Tanya milne wali hai… Usse mark karenge aur use follow karenge…” “Sounds good… But… aap dono as couple party mei jaoge…” AS was delighted but HM frowned… “Lekin sir…” she tried to reason when SO stopped her… “Abhi baat puri nahi hui hai meri… Kisi bhi wajah se Tanya ke ya us aadmi ke as pas bhi nahi jayenge aap dono… Aapka kaam hoga sirf usse mark karna… uske baad hum use pe 24 hours surveillance rakhenge…” “Aisa kyu prabhu…??” AS asked… “Because we cannot take the risk of exposing you… Jab tak plan pata nahi chal jata we need you both out there…” Both nodded… “Kal subah ki flight se aap Delhi jayenge… so officers rest well… kal bohot kaam hai aap logon ko…” saying so the SO left…
“Hello… I have room booked… Mr and Mrs Vihaan Shergil” AS said smiling at the receptionist… It took a moment for her before she could move her eyes away from his handsome face… HM felt anger rising in her heart… She rolled her eyes when the receptionist tried to flirt with her Anubhav Sir… To avoid getting angrier she decided to have a look around the lobby… AS for the first time felt uncomfortable due to the attention he was getting and was worried HM would misunderstand him… He collected the keys and turned around to look for HM… He noticed she wasn’t around so tried to find her… His eyes fell on the prettiest scene… She was playing with a baby… smiling and making cute expressions… He smiled and walked towards them… “Chalein Sona??” he said sweetly… She looked at him and got up bidding goodbye to the baby… AS put an arm around her shoulders while entering the lift… HM gave him an intimidating look but AS ignored it, he was enjoying the role play…
“Kuch jyada ho raha hai Sir…” HM said as soon as they were left alone in the room… “Acting… Haseena ji acting… Pushpa ji jo karti hai na… Acting…” AS tried to cover up… ‘Yeh nahi sudhrenge…’ she thought to herself and left to freshen up leaving a smiling AS behind…
