MPT:
Ks was working all day and night after the chashma case.. she didn't talk to Hm even tho she was dying to talk to her.. all she did was work but that too uncomfortably.. she got restless at times and drank tea more than ps did during the day..(ps drinks a lot of tea)
Ks also took all the night shifts that week... she hadn't even slept properly .. not because of work but she just couldn't fall asleep..
Finally Hm decided that it was high time she had a talk with Ks.. one evening everyone was working on their respective tables .. Hm came out of her cabin and said:
Hm- ks..
All- jai Hind ms
Hm- jai Hind .. Ks abhi dsp sir ka call aaya tha.. unhone hum dono ko turant headquarters bulaya hain.. chaliye..
Dk- ms main bhi chalu? Vaise bhi mera kaam ho gaya hain aaj ka..
Hm- ji nahi.. aap ek kaam kijiye.. Ks ki saara bacha hua kaam aaj ka aap kar lijiye.. sir ne specifically hume aur Ks ko hi bulaya hain.. kuch kaam hoga toh hum aapko call kar lenge .. clear?
Dk- ok ms.. ( she took the file Ks was working on and started working)
Hm- chale ks?
Ks( with a kinda victorious smile)- ji chaliye!
Hm( while walking towards her jeep)- aap baithiye aaj gaadi hum chalaenge..
Ks- ms hum chala...
Hm- ks humne kaha na hum chala rahe hain... aap ab baithiye jaldi ..
Ks- ji ms
They sat in hms car and Hm started driving.. she wasn't driving towards headquarters.. she was heading somewhere else.. suddenly she stopped the car at the side of the road..
Hm- lo aa gaye..
Ks- ms ye hum kaha aa gaye.. headquarters toh dusri taraf hain.. aur aapne yaha gaadi kaahe roki?
Hm- aaiye batate hain..
They got out of the car and there was a tea stall in front of them.. they went upto it and sat on the bench..
Hm- bhaiya do kadak chai dena humaari kadak Ks ke liye..
Ks- ms ye sab kya?
Hm- ks .. hume yaha ki chai pure sheher mein sabse achi lagti hain.. bohut mann ho raha tha aaj yaha ki chai peene ka.. aur hum jaante hain aapko badnam ki chai nahi pasand.. iseliye yaha le aaye aapko..
Ks- toh ms anu bhaiya?
Hm- oh vo.. nahi unhone ne hume nahi call kiya tha.. vo toh bas hume aapke saath chai peeni thi toh chota sa jhoot bol diya.. maaf kijiye
Ks- nahi nahi ms maafi kahe ki.. par aap hume aise hi keh deti toh hum aa jaate.. sirrr ka bahana banane ki kaa jarurat thi?
Hm- aap toh jaanti hain na ki dk humaare saath pura din rehti hain.. ab agar hum aapko chai par bulaate aur unhe nahi toh unhe bura lag jaata.. iseliye ye sab karna pada..
Ks- lagne dete usse bura.. aapko uski itni chinta kahe hain?
Hm- aap aise kyu keh rahi hain Ks.. anyway ye lijiye chai aa gaya .. ye lijiye chai pijiye ..
Ks- dhanywad ..
Hm( while sipping)- kaisa laga?
Ks- bohut badhiya hain ms..
Hm- hmm toh ab bataiye.. aisi kya baat hain jo aapko itni pareshan kar rahi hain?
Ks- kaa matlab ms? Hum kuch samjhe nahi..
Hm- ks.. hum andhe nahi hain.. hum dekh rahe hain aap pichle kuch dinon se bohut pareshan lag rahi hain.. aur hum ache se jaante hain ki aap khud aakar hume nahi bataengi... isliye khud puch rahe hain.. jo bhi aapke mann mein hain keh dijiye.. shayad isse aapka mann halka ho jaaye..
Ks- ms... aapko dk kaisi lagti hain?
Hm- kya?
Ks- bataiye na
Hm- achi insaan hain vo.. kabil hain, imaandar hain, samajhdar hain.. hume lagta hain bohut aage jaaengi vo..
Ks- aur aapko humaare baare mein kya lagta hain?
Hm- ye aap humse kya puch rahi hain Ks?
( Hm got the hint that ks was insecure of dk)
Ks- ms aap jawaab dijiye na
Hm- ks hum aapko hazar baar keh chuke hain.. aap ek bohut kabil, honhar, karmath, imaandar officer hain..
Ks- ms agar aapko dk aur hum mein se kisi ek ko chunna pade toh aap kise chunengi?
Hm- ab ye kaisa sawaal hain Ks?
Ks- ms sach sach bata dijiye..
Hm- dekhiye.. dk yaha bas training ke liye aayi hui hain.. haan humne uske kaabiliyat ki tareef ki kyunki vo uski haqdaar hain par vo kuch dinon mein yaha se chali jaayengi..
Ks- ms..
Hm- ks.. hum samajh rahe hain.. vo bhi SI hain.. Shaanti se kaam leti hain.. aur aap unse thodi insecure ho rahi hain.. par ks .. humaari mpt ki team sirf ek team nahi.. balki ek parivaar hain.. aur parivaar bhala kabhi alag ho sakta hain? ( Hm put one hand on Ks' shoulder and said) Aur Ks kisi naye ke aane se parivar toh bilkul bhi nahi toot ta .. ( she said smiling and reassuringly)
Ks was now satisfied.. Hm had given her the answer she wanted indirectly without choosing .. really Hm was the Hm.. she calmed Ks down as well as ks regained her self confidence .. she now knew that no matter what her ms will always be with her ..
Ks- dhanywad ms..
Hm- kis liye?
Ks- pehele toh ye chai ke liye.. dusra humse baat karne ke liye.. aur teesra.. aapne baaton baaton mein hi humaari saari pareshaani door kardi.. ab hum bilkul pareshan nahi hain.. bilkul nahi..
Hm- ya allah! Shukra hain aapka ki Ks theek ho gayi.. varna hume toh dar tha ki humaari bhaukal wali kadak ks kahi Kho na gayi ho! ( she said doing overacting like ps)
Ks( laughing)- amma ye pj ki aatma aapke andar kab aa gayi!
Hm- humaare toh bhagya hi ( she looked at ks) khul gaye! ( and both started laughing)
.....
Ks was now no more restless or uncomfortable.. dk stayed for a few days more and then she was transferred to another thaana.. Hm had obviously chosen Ks over dk .. our old Ks was back with her bhaukal!
....
One afternoon at MPT :
Hm was in her cabin when As called her ...
On call:
Hm- jai Hind sir!
As- jai Hind hj! Parantu hume filhal apni mitra hj se vartalap karni hain.. kya hum unse vartalap kar sakte hain?
Hm- bohut dinon baad yaad aayi aapko apni mitra ki.. boliye boliye kaise yaad kiya?
As- aaj hume kulfi khaane ka bada mann kar raha hain..
Hm- toh hum aapko kulfi bechne waali lagte hain?
As- ji?
Hm- aap hume kyu keh rahe hain.. jaiye kisi kulfi waale se kahiye .. vo aapko dega kulfi .. mast ekdam( she said almost laughing)
As- kya hj aap bhi... vo humaare saath kulfi khaane wala koi nahi hain iseliye toh aapko doorbhaash kiya hain..
Hm- acha ji?
As- ji.. toh agar aap free hain toh aaj shaam duty ke baad chale kulfi khaane? Sheher ka sabse behtareen kulfi khilaayenge hum aapko....
Hm- sabse behtarin kulfi?! Ab toh aana padega.. dekhte hain ki aap apne iss baat par khade utarenge ya ...
