At tea stall:
Ks- aapko kaa laga ms .. aap hume batayengi nahi toh hume pata hi nahi chalega..
Hm- aisi baat nahi hain Ks..
Ks- aapko humse ye baat chipaani nahi chahiye thi ms.. hume toh laga tha ki aap hum sabko parivar maanti hain.. par aaj toh aapne hume paraya kar diya ms.. aur anu bhaiya ko bata diya?!
Hm- ks humaari baat toh suniye
Ks- hum maante hain ki aap unse pyaar karti hain par hume na batakar aapne unhe bata diya?! Kyu ms kyu?
Hm stared at her cause of the pyaar karti hain line
Ks- aise kahe dekh rahi hain humko.. sab jaante hain aap pyaar karti hain unse
Hm- ks aap humaari baat sunengi ya khud hi bolte jaayengi ?
Ks- boliye ms..
Hm- shukriya.. toh baat aisi hain ki humne dsp sir ko nahi bataya.. balki unhone hume bataya..
Ks- kaa?
Hm tells Ks about the whole incident where As called her to the hospital and doc told them about cancer and all..
Hm- aur humne ye baat sabse iseliye chipaai kyunki abhi kuch confirm nahi hain ks.. jab test ke results aayenge kuch dinon baad tabhi clear hoga.. aur tab tak hum nahi chahte the ki aap sab ko khamkha humaari fikr ho.. vaise bhi thaane mein bohut kaam hain aaj kal..
Ks- ms .. par aap ye sab akele seh rahi thi? Kya aapko dar nahi lag raha.. kuch dinon mein aapki zindagi badal sakti hain..
Hm- sach kahe Ks toh dar toh hume lag raha hain.. pehele toh hume apni duty chodni padegi..
Ks- kaaa?!
Hm- ji .. hum duty karne layak nahi rahenge physically aur mentally.. vaise aapke liye toh acha hain.. humaare jazbaton se aapko chutkara mil jaayega (she said laughing but ks didn't laugh)
Ks- ms aapko mazak sooj raha hain?
Hm- acha sorry.. hum keh rahe the ki pehele duty chodna padega.. phir jis Umar mein hume ammi ka khyal rakhna chahiye.. unhe humaara khyaal rakhna padega..
Aur toh aur ab tak ammi allah se humaare nikah ke liye dua maangti thi.. ab humaare jeevit rehne ke liye maangegi (she again laughed but ks was angry this time)
Ks- ms aapko firse mazak sooj raha hain.. aur ye kaisi baaten kar rahi hain .. aapko kuch nahi hoga.. aap bilkul theek ho jaayengi.. ho jaayengi kya ho.. aapko kuch cancer vancer nahi hain..
Hm- hope aisa hi ho.. kyunki ab tak ye vardi hume apne abbu ke kareeb mehsoos karati thi.. shayad ab sachme hum abbu ke kareeb chale jaaye ..
Ks- ms! Agar aapne ek aur baar marne maraane ki baat ki na.. toh hum keh rahe hain humse bura koi nahi hoga.. Ks hain hum.. bhaukal macha denge!
Hm- acha Shaant ho jaaiye.. hum ab aisa kuch nahi kahenge ..
Ks- behtar hoga
Hm- vaise ks.. hum aapko apne ek mann ki baat batay jo hume kuch dinon se khatak rahi hain..
Ks- bataiye na ms..
Hm- ks hume na bojh nahi banna hain kisi par..
Ks- bojh?
Hm- agar hume cancer hota hain toh hum humaari ammi ke upar.. aur humaare saare janne walon ke upar ek bojh ban jayenge.. na khud kuch kar paayenge aur upar se humaara alag se dekhbhal karna hoga .. hum ye bilkul bhi nahi chahte.. isse behtar toh hum...
Ks- ms jaha pyaar hota hain na.. vaha bojh jaisa shabd nahi hota.. aap kisi par bhi bojh nahi banne wali .. nahi aapke ammi par aur nahi hum sab par.. ye baat aapke dimaag se nikal dijiye ..
Ks and hm were done with their tea and they got up and started walking towards the car..
While walking Ks just kept looking at Hm with teary eyes.. she couldn't believe what had just happened.. she couldn't loose her ms..
Ks- ms ye sab itne achanak se kaise..
Hm- ks issi ko jindagi kehte hain.. kabhi bhi kuch bhi ho sakta hain.. aur ye koi nahi jaanta ki kal ho .. ya na ho..
Ks now stopped and turned towards hm and said
Ks- ms chahe kuch bhi ho reports aane ke baad.. hum aapke saath hain aur humesha aapke saath rahenge!
Listening to this Hm got emotional .. she remembered the exact same lines was said by As a few days back.. she was happy to have people like As and ks in her life who cared for her so much and even she cared for them a lot.. there was an outburst of emotions for Hm and she hugged Ks there and then... Ks was shocked by this gesture but she hugged back tighter.. she understood that hm needed that kind of emotional support which her brother may not have been able to give her because of their past.. Hm finally broke the hug and said
Hm- shukriya..
........
The next few days Ks acted differently.. she obeyed everything Hm said and didn't trouble her at all and neither showed her bhaukal to anyone.. Ks had kept hms cancer test a secret from mpt members so everyone was shocked.. especially ps was very surprised.. she didn't know why Ks was acting the way she was.. even As came to the thaana everyday or visited hms house.. he made sure Hm wasn't worrying about reports.. the brother-sister duo made hms life better.. Hm knew that they were trying to comfort her and she kinda liked it.. but as the result day came closer.. she couldn't help but get worried..
The day of result:
Result was going to come in the evening so Hm went for duty.. it was morning and everyone was in mpt.. Hm was in her cabin while others were out on their desks.. ss and cc were as ps' desk gossiping.. even billu was there..
Billu- maa! Maa!
Ps- kya hain billu
Billu- maa ye km ko kya hua hain? Mujhe toh dar lag raha hain.. kahi koi bhoot voot ka toh chakkar nahi hain na?
Ps- bhoot?!
Ss- Haa maine bhi sunna hain.. jab bhoot kisi insaan ke shareer par kabza karta hain.. tab vo insaan bilkul badal jaata hain.. ditto km jaise.. nahi matlab itne dinon se unhone kisi ko daanta nahi.. mara nahi.. yaha tak ki aapse pj aapse ladai nahi ki!
Cc- smart santuji smart.. humaara woman psychologist dimaag bhi nahi samajh paa raha km ko kya hua hain.. itna badlav ya toh ek dikhava hain.. ya sadma..
Ps- sadma?! Nahi nahi.. vo bilkul theek hain.. pakka ye dikhava hain.. lagta hain ms se inhe kuch chahiye.. yaad hain kaise character report ke samay bhi kitna dikhaava kar rahi thi ye.. iss baar bhi aisa kuch hi hoga..
Ss- wow pushee kya socha hain
Cc- santuji .. dikhava toh humne kaha tha..
billu- tu toh kuaara hi marega Cheete
Cc- chup ho jaa bilote
Ks had overheard most of the conversation and finally decided to speak..
Ks- amma aap sabka sadma, bhoot, dikhave ka bakaiti ho gaya ho toh kaam bhi karlo!
After saying this everyone got back to work and ks went into hms cabin..
Ks- jai Hind ms
Hm- hmmm
Ks- ms vo aaj report aane wala hain na..
Hm- ji
Ks- ms hum kya keh rahe the ki aaj aap jaldi ghar chale jaaiye.. fresh hokar report lene chale jaana araam se
Hm- itni kya jaldi hain aapko hume yaha se bhagane ke liye
Ks- ms ye aap kya keh rahi hain.. hum toh bas iseliye keh rahe the kyunki hume laga ki aap pareshaan hongi..
Hm- ks.. shayad ye humaara duty ka aakhri din hain.. aaj hum ghar jaldi hargiz nahi jaayenge..
( Hm was now upset )
Ks- ms.. aisa mat boliye.. aaj aapka aakhri din nahi hain.. hum jaante hain ms.. humaara dil keh raha hai ki sab theek niklega report mein....
Hm- hope so .. vaise Ks aaj shaam ko Ig sir ne sheher ke saare SIs ko ek meeting ke liye bulaya hain.. aap bhi vaha samay se pahunch jaana..
Ks- lekin ms hum soch rahe the ki aapke saath hospital aaye reports ke liye ..
Hm- ks..duty humesha first.. aapke meeting ke baad hum khud aapko headquarters pick up karne aayenge.. theek hain?
Ks- nahi nahi ms.. aap kahe takleef le rahi hain.. meeting ke baad hum khud aapke ghar aa jaayenge.. agar aapko koi etraaz na ho toh.....
Hm- nahi nahi koi etraaz nahi hain hume.. aap humaare ghar kabhi bhi aa sakti hain Ks..
aur rahi baat reports ki.. toh vo hum akele lene chale jaayenge..
Just then As entered hms cabin
As- kadapi nahi.. aap akele kyu jaayengi.. hum hain na.. hum bhi chalenge aapke saath..
Hm- sir aapko takleef lene ki koi jarurat nahi hain.. hum chale jaayenge na
As- hj.. agar hum saath nahi gaye toh jyaada takleef hogi hume.. jigyasa ke karan hum mar-maraa jaayenge ( he said laughing to lighten the mood and hm also joined)
Ks- anu bhaiya aapko majak sooj raha hain... aap dono hi ajeeb ho .. itne Gambhir sthiti mein bhi majak kar rahe ho..
Hm- ks.. aap bhi shaant ho jaaiye aur hassiye.. aise tension lene se kuch nahi hone wala.. na hi humaara report badalne wala hain aur naa hi humaara bhavishya.. iseliye samajhadari vartman mein jeene mein hi hain..
As- shat prateeshat sateek keh rahi hain hj ...
Acha hj hum aapko shaam ko pick karne aa jaayenge.. tayyar rahiyega
Hm- theek hain sir

Precap:
