It was evening and Hm and As were sitting on As' car bonnet and eating kulfi ..
As- toh hj.. kaisi lagi aapko kulfi?
Hm- hmm not bad ..
As- not bad? Bas?
Hm- acha baba.. bohut achi lagi.. shukriya hume yaha laane ke liye
As- shukriya aapka aane ke liye.. vo kya hain na kulfi akele khaane mein itna maza nahi aata..
Hm- toh aapko maza aa raha hain?
As- avashya.. aapke saath vakt bitaana hume atyadhik pasand hain..
Hm- toh itne dinon tak kyu nahi aaye aap humse milne?
As- vo hj.. kaam mein vyavst ho gaye the hum... aur vaise bhi mission ki itni saare tayyariyan karni thi ki puchiye mat..
Hm- mission? Ab kaunsa mission?
As- hj humne aapko nahi bataya kya? Vo hume ek naye mission par bheja jaa raha hain.. bas ussi ki tayyariyon mein vyast the hum..
Hm- kab.. kab jaa rahe hain aap?
As- bas kal subah hi hum apni team ke saath niklenge.. yahi Agra ke paas ek gav hain.. vahi par jaana hain hume ..
Hm-aap.. aap mission par jaa rahe hain.. vo bhi kal? ( Hm was getting emotional now.. she knew she couldn't stop him but something was disturbing her)
As- ji hj... aapke netron mein aansu?! Sab theek hain na?
Hm- ji ji.. vo toh kuch aankhon mein chala gaya hain.. aap ye bataiye.. aap jo mission par Jaa rahe hain.. kya vo khatarnak hain?
As- hj mission hain toh zahir si baat hain ki khatarnak toh hoga hi..
Hm- ji...
As( he sensed Hm was worried which made him smile )- hj.. aap chinta mat kijiye.. hume kuch nahi hoga .. hum mission complete karke kuch hi dinon mein laut aayenge..
Hm- aap.. aap pakka sahi salamat lautenge na?
As- pakka!
Hm- phir hum aapka intezar karenge... jab aap vapas aayenge safal hokar toh hum aapko apni favourite icecream khilaayenge .. vo bhi iss kulfi se jyada behetrien!( she said smiling)
As- Avashya!
They talked for sometime and went home.. the next day As left for his mission while Hm went to mpt.. she was very quiet all day.. she felt disturbed for some reason and kept having intuitions as if something wrong was going to happen..
Two days passed the same way.. Hm was quiet all day but had lunch with everyone as they did everyday.. MPT members noticed hms change in behavior but thought it was just a one day thing so they didn't say anything..
MPT:
Hm entered and went directly into her cabin without greeting .. everyone gathered around ps' table to discuss now.. Ks was on her table doing work..
Ss- Pj ye ms ko kya hua hain.. pichle do dinon se unhone humse baat tak nahi ki hain .. sirf kaam kar rahi hain..
Cc- bilkul sahi boli hain aap sj.. hum bhi kabse yahi soch rahe the..
Ps- jarur ms kisi karan pareshan hain.. tabhi itni khoi Khoi lag rahi hain..
Ss- mujhe lagta hain unke ghar ka bhi nal kharab ho gaya hain.. iseliye itni pareshan hain vo..
Cc- uff ye masoomiyat!
Ps- amma kabhi toh soch samajhkar bola karo.. ms itni choti baaton ke karan itna pareshan thodi na hongi santu..
Ss- choti pareshani?! Pj ye aapko choti pareshaani lagti hain?! Aapko pata hain mujhe kitna sehna padta hain mere nal ke vajah se?! Roj roj plumber ko phone karo.. usse aane ka samay do.. kharab nal se kaam chalao .. upar se duty par time pe aao .. aapko kya pata pj kitni badi pareshaani hain ye!!!!
Everyone was shocked to hear such a big lecture from Ss.. even Ks came near the table now..
Cc- sj sj.. shaant ho jaaiye.. aapko itni takleef hoti hain ye humne socha bhi nahi tha! Aaj ke aaj hum sheher ke best plumber ko aapke quarter leke aate hain!
Ss- sachi ?!
Cc- muchi sj.. aapne liye kuch bhi!
Ks- amma bhak! Yaha ms pareshan hain aur tum log pata nahi kaa lekar baith gaye ho!
Ps- itni chinta ho rahi hain toh jaakar puchiye na unse kya hua hain..
Ks- hum.. hum kaise puche
Ss- km log aksar apne muh se puchte hain..
Cc- uff ye ma.. maddam aap kar sakti hain.. puch lijiye..
Ks- Haa theek hain hum koshish karte hain.. Khaana khaate samay puch lenge.. abhi kaam karo sab apna apna
All- ji ..
It was lunch time and everyone was sitting on the table.. Hm also came with her tiffin and sat .. they started eating and talking about random stuff
Ps and ks were sitting next to each other on one side.. ss and cc were sitting next to each other on the other side and Hm was sitting at the head of the table where she usually sits ..
Ps( softly to ks)- puchiye na ab.. khaana khatam ho jaaega!
Ks(softly)- amma aap puch lijiye na itna hi ho raha hain aapko toh!
Ps( softly)- acha acha hum chup rehte hain.. aap puchiye
Ks( softly) -dhanyawad
Ks- ms.. vo hume aapse kuch puchna tha..
Hm- ji puchiye
Ks- ms.. hum pichle do dinon se dekh rahe hain.. matlab hum sab dekh rahe hain.. aap bohut khoi khoi lag rahi hain.. pareshan bhi.. kuch hua hain kya?
Hm- kya? Hum khoi khoi lag rahe hain?
Ss,cc,ps- ji ms
Ks- ms agar kuch hain jo aapko pareshan kar raha hain toh aap hume bata sakti hain.. aap hi toh kehti hain ki hum sab ek parivar hain.. shayad aapka mann halka ho jaaye
Hm- aisi koi baat nahi hain.. bas pata nahi kyu hume kuch ajeeb sa lag raha hain.. aisa lag raha hain ki kuch toh galat ya bura hone waala hain.. par samajh nahi aa raha kya..
Ss- jaisa mujhe pet dard hota hain aur aankh phadakti hain vaise hi na ms?
Hm- Haa aisa keh sakte hain Ss.. jabse dsp sir apne mission par gaye hain .. tabse hi ajeeb lag raha hain.. ek alag si bechaini ho rahi hain hume ..
Ps- Ohhh toh ye bechaini aapko dsp sir ke liye ho rahi hain ( doing her sharmila step)
Ks- pj! Kya aap bhi.. ms aap chinta mat kijiye.. hum jaante hain apne bhaiya ko.. vo sahi salamat aa jaayenge abhi ek do din mein.. itna pareshan mat hoiye ..
Hm- hum jaante hain ks.. unhe kuch nahi hoga.. par ab kya kare hum.. bechaini rukne ka naam hi nahi le rahi..
Ss- ms main toh kehti hu aap meditation kijiye.. isse aapka mind divert ho jaaega..
Cc- wah sj kya idea diya hain aapne.. smart Sj smart!
Ks- ms ye sab chodiye.. pehele khaana kha lijiye ..
Hm- ji
Ps( softly to ks)- dekha ms ko dsp sir ki kitni chinta hain.. hume toh lag raha hain ki bohut jald aap unhe sahi maino mein bhabhi bulaiyengi!!
Ks( softly)- shaant ho jaiye pj! Uss din ko jab aana hoga tab aa jaayega.. ms ki baate sunkar toh hume bhi ab anu bhaiya ki bohut chinta ho rahi hain..
Ps( softly)- Shivji kuch bura nahi hone denge...
Ks(softly)- aasha karte hain aisa hi ho..
.....
MPT
That evening Ks received a call on her phone... after listening to the person speak on call Ks was numb... her phone slipped out of her hand and she had tears in her eyes.. Hm was seeing all this from her cabin and came running outside..
Hm- ks?! Kya hua? Aap aise ??
Ks- vo-vo ..
Hm( holding Ks' shoulder)- kya hua hain?
.............................
Precap:
Hm- ks chinta mat kijiye .. sab theek ho jaayega ..
Ks- chinta kaisa na kare ms!Aapke liye kehna bohut asaan hain ms par aapko kaa pata ki humpar kya beet rahi hain! .............
