ANYTHING FOR YOU

THE NIGHT BEFORE SEPARATION

Karishma was still standing there gazing at her jeep until she disappeared... She burst out into loud sobs... someone kept a hand on her shoulder..... she turned behind to see the person...

KS: (not able to control herself) Pushpa Ji...
.......... and hugged her.....Pushpa Singh was rubbing her back...
.....Pushpa Ji... humko...humko boht darr lagg raha hai pata nahi kahe... aap...aap please maddam sir ko... rokk lijiye na... unko kuch... unko kuch ho gaya toh hum...hum nai jee payenge pushpa ji....
...... she cried vigorously in her arms

PS: (with a calm voice) Karishma Ji... hum aapki takleef samjh sakte hain.... maddam sir se hum sab boht pyaar karte hain.... aur vo bhi hum sab se aur khaas kar ke aapse boht pyaar karti hain... lekin hum unhe unke farz se door toh nahi kar sakte na... aapka is tarah se unse naraaz hona unhe boht takleef de raha hai... vo aapke saath waqt bitana chahti hain jaane se pehle... hum maante hain ki unhe aapko pehle batana chahiye tha... magar is baare me baat krne ka ye sahi samay nahi hai... jab vo wapas aa jayein toh boht daatiyega unhe... hum sab daatenge.... lekin filhal ke liye unhe apni sabse pyari dost chahiye hai....agar vo aapko aise udaas dekhengi to mission me unka dil nahi lagega...
.............(she cupped her face)
... jaaiye unke paas..isse pehle der ho jaaye.!!!

Karishma looked at her and Pushpa Singh gave her a reassuring smile... she took her bike and drove away.....

HEADQUARTERS...

KS: Anubhav bhaiya, kya hum bhi Haseena madam ke saath jaa sakte hain..?

AS: Ji nahi Karishma Singh.... pehli baat toh yeh ki ye mission commissioner sir ne dia hai isliye humara ispar koi adhikaar nahi hai.... doosri baat ki ab mission me kisi bhi prakaar ke changes laane ka samay nahi hai... aur teesri baat ye ki hume is mission ke liye mature police officers chahiye hain... aur aapka gussa iske liye uchit nahi...

KS: Anu bhaiya.... please ek baar aap commissioner sir se baat kijiye na.... shayad vo aapka baat maan jayein.... hum.. hum apna gussa control me rakhenge... waada....

AS: (not convinced nodded his head) thik hai... hum koshish karte hain.... lekin aap zyada ummeed mat rakhiyega

KS: (smiled at a little ray of hope) dhanywaad... Jai hind.!!!!

Meanwhile... Haseena reached her home.... gets fresh n up and entered Ammi's room... She was sitting on the sofa... talking to someone on her phone... Haseena walked towards her and settled herself near her legs and kept her head on Ammi's lap... Ammi looked at her confusingly and disconnected the call...

Ammi: (keeping her hands on her hairs and caressing them) kya hua Haseena..? aaj aap itni jaldi duty se wapas aa gayi...?

HM: ji ammi... humne socha aapke saath thoda waqt bitaa lein

Ammi: accha..!! bhookh lagi hai kya aapko...?

HM: nahi ammi....(she took a pause for few seconds) aapko kuch batana tha...

Ammi: (excited)kyaaa... aapne shadi ke liye ladka pasand kar lia....??

HM: nahi ammi... relax... hume aapko batana tha ke hume kal subeh ek mission ke liye nikalna hai.... vapas aane mein kaafi din lagg sakte hain... aap apna khayal rakhiyega aur medicines time par leti rahiyega.... aur regular checkups ke liye zaroor jaati rahiyega unhe miss mat kijiyega...

Ammi: (getting angry and worried)itni badi baat aap hume ab bata rahi hain...!!! bata hi kyun rahi hain hume aap..??

HM: (pleaded) ammi please... aap toh kam se kam Karishma Singh jaise behave mat kijiye na.... unhone aaj saara din humse baat nahi ki... isse behtar toh hum unhe batate hi na... atleast sukoon se jaa to sakte the...
