Happp Independence Day! 🇮🇳❤


In Anuseena's room,

Anubhav is gently tapping Haseena's forehead, propping on his elbow, he gently kisses her forehead and eyes making her turn and keep her hand around his waist. He holds her hand tightly and nestles his head on her pillow, being close to her, keenly looking at her.

She meant the world to him and he couldn't find peace in his heart after the dreadful incident.

Flashback (a day before, Anubhav's first birthday after marriage)

Anubhav had cradled Haseena close to him while sleeping, it was 11: 30, he was sleeping peacefully while Haseena was over excited, sleep miles away.
"Kitne boring hai ye", she frowned but later smiled seeing his winsome face.
"Kharus senior but bahot hi pyare husband", she continued speaking, pecking his nose.

"Kitne aram se so rahe hai humari neend udake....socha tha aram se wish karenge ab dekhna", she smirked. It was just a minute or two left now for his birthday.

"Anubhav...", she screamed on top of her voice, putting up a terrified expression. He woke up with a jerk, seeing her serious face, he forgot about his birthday. "Kya hua, Jaana?...sabh theek hai na?", he asked worried and she laughed. Haseena hugged him tightly and wished,"happy birthday, husband". He sighed and embraced her tightly. Although he loved her cute, child like antics, reserved only for him but at the same time he thought it can surely give him a mild heart attack some day.

"Aise Kaun wish karta hai?", he asked, bitting her earlobe. "Aah..", she groaned, hitting his back. "Haseena Mallik karti hai", she declared proudly.

"I love you", she kissed his temple, cheeks, nose and the mole on his neck. Her eyelashes brush his face when she kissed.

"Aapke aane se meri zindagi badal gayi...koi nahi tha humare paas....par ab aapme hi sab hai", she continued making him emotional. He made her lay and lied over her. His lips softly traced her face.

"Kabhi kabhi khuch kehne ki zarurat nahi hoti, sirf aankho mein dekhne se hi bahot khuch keh dete hai", he said looking deeply in her eyes. She dived in his ocean eyes, finding only love. Sometimes silence indeed speaks louder tha words. Haseena held his hand which rested on her chin, and pecked his fingers, finally minimizing the space between their faces. He took control, gliding his tounge on her bottom lip, kissing her insanely, spending a romantic birthday night.

At 5:00 am, the bell of their apartment ringed. They didn't live in government provided housing but in their own house posing as normal cops, whose family is business oriented which reasoned their affordability of living in a posh area of Mumbai.

"Utho yaar anubhav", she mumbled irritated of the noise. "Hum nahi aap uthiye aapne humari neend kharab ki thi", he replied. She sat up straight, her body witnessed a pleasurable pain, seeing him sleep peacefully  she got irritated and slept again. "Hum nahi aap hi dekhenge, humne aapko wish karne uthaya tha....par aapka toh romance shuru hogaya", she said pushing him away from her.

"Theek hai humari t shirt dejiye phir", he smirked pointing to her. "Ek hi hai kya apke paas, cupboard se dusri uthaiye aur darvaza khol ke aiye", she ordered pulling quilt over him and covering it over herself.

"Ye 5 baje kisko chain nahi hai", he finally got up, defeated from his lady love....only to see his best friend Sharad giving a ear to ear grin to him on the door.

"Kabhi Matlab kabhi mujhe dekh kar bhi ek pyaari si smile de diya kar....ya sab bhabhi ke liye", he scowled, fakely.

"Pehle tum ye batao ye kaunsa samay hai aane ka?", Anubhav said.

"Maine socha ki tum dono pehle hi tehre itne unromantic couple...proposal tumhara training ground me ladte  hue....kitni mushkil se 10 din ke liye Australia Honeymoon bheja, usme bhi 7 din me vapis aa gaye...toh kya pata janamdin ka special taufa diya ho Haseena ne ....kyu tujhe disturb karu baara baje...", he taunted. "Isliye abhi aya hu.....happy birthday mere bhai", he hugged him tightly patting his back. Before Haseena he was his only constant from training days. He didn't have his own parents, but loved and respected Sharad's like his own.

"Kaun hai Anu", Haseena finally came out listening to their conversation, still sleepy. "Sharad...hmm...laga tha...dono dost kabhi bhi, kahi bhi, kaise bhi khuch bhi kar sakte hai", she taunted him for disturbing her sleep. He was like a smaller sibling to her.

"Tauufe toh mile hai aaj tumhe romance aur taane dono ke", sharad whispered in Anu's ear seeing HM wearing Anu's clothes and her irritated mood.

"Chup ho jao tum ab....jao so jao aur humme bhi sone do", AS whispered back, while HM already sat on the sofa.

"Ha ha bhabhi aa gyi toh humme Kaun puchega?", he said, animated. "Humme beech me mat ghusao sharad", HM said,  sleeping.

"Aree bhai tumhe puch rahe hai tabhi toh keh rahe hai dusre kamre me so jao.....ya alien ki trha subha,savere janamdin banaoge kya humara" AS said.

"Ha ha good and a romantic  😉 morning both of you", he trailed to the guest room.

"Ohh shreeman hume goud me uthake leke chalo", she raised her hands to him who was making his way back to room. He smiled and scooped her in his arms.

"Sorry humne neend kharab hone par aapko sunaya subha subha", she apologized. "Koi nahi Jaana!", he pecked her lips.

In morning, HM and sharad were preparing Anu's favourite breakfast, while he was still sleeping.

" aapke patidev ka bas chale na toh vo har minute kaam me hi duba rahe....isliye subha subha cake mangaya hai....vaise bhi vo crime branch ke saath vala case ki hearing hai Tum dono busy ho jaoge", sharad said.

"Haan...humara toh aaj khuch alag aur special karne ka man tha par samay ki paabandi hai", she stated sadly.

(Bell ringed, cake was kept near the door, Sharad came inside placing on the table)

Here Anubhav woke after constant message beeps. He grabbed his phone, to his suprise, some one was messaging him from a private number.

You killed me but I won't kill you but your lives.

Anubhav was shocked. He quickly went outside where HM and Sharad were opening the box of cake.

"Nooo", he screamed and pushed both of them. The opening of box caused a small explosion.

Three of them were stunned, aghast. Anu at first hugged both of them. Both were absolutely fine but a minute late would have caused a havoc.

"Watchman kya pagal hai...abhi uski khabar lekar aate hai", he fisted his hands tightly banging at the door.

"Rukiye kaha jaa rahe hai....kise pata hoga ki cake box me aisa khuch hoga...bahar valo ko nahi pata hum IB mein hai...." She stated.

Sharad too tried to calm him. "building me renovation chal raha hai....koi bhi rakh ke jaa sakta hai....tamasha mat kar shaanti se kaam le"

"Aap dono ka dimag toh theek hai? Yaha itni badi ghatna ho gayi aur aap humme shaant rehne ko keh rahe hai? Ek minute late hote toh humari sari duniya khatam ho jaati", he yelled at them, frustrated  and left from hall. HM & SM share a helpless look, he gestures her to calm him.

Anubhav was sitting on the bed, tightly fisting the quilt. His eyes pursed tightly, tears following. Haseena came and sat beside him, hugging side ways, caressing his hairs. She planted her lips on his temple.
"Sab khuch theek hai anu...". He buried his face in her embrace, crying.

Sharad, too came after sometime sitting beside them. Three of them, tried to calm themselves , in each other's presence.

Flashback ends.

"Soiye nahi anu abhi tak? 3 baj rahe hai"

"Humme neend nahi aa rahi"

"Aapke jagne se uss ka khuch nahi bigdega....par apki health zarur bigad jayegi"

She hugged him tightly and insured he slept, peacefully.
