Jab Hum Miley-Ek Bar Phir

~Mulakaat-Phir se~

There was a lot of commotion about the arrival of the newly appointed SHO in Mahela Police Thana. You can feel a lot of nervous energy, opposing views, and discussions about the personality of the new SHO.

Santosh, the youngest of the staff members, asked Pushpa Ji, who was the head constable at Mahela Police Thana about the whereabouts of the new SHO.

Pushpa Ji informed Santo that she doesn't know much but the only thing that she has heard about the new SHO is, she is against violence; she doesn't like using baton (danda) to punish culprits.

"Then, how she is going to do justice to the people who will come here to get help," Santo inquired.

"According to my sources, she uses emotions to treat culprits. She believes in giving a fair chance to the criminals by treating the cause of the crime and not the criminal itself," Pushpa Ji replied.

"Ohhh!" Santosh Sighed. "So, basically, she is exactly the opposite of Karishma madam."

"Haan (Yes) Santo! Isi baat ki to Chinta ha humain..(That's what I am worried about)," Pushpa Ji responded. "There is going to be a clash of titans. We might expect a lot of verbal battles at thana every day," Pushpa Ji quivered with the thought.

"Pushpa ji, yeah bhi to ho sakta ha, Humare dono séniors apne alag soch ke sath, ek sath mil kar case solve karain," Santo chimed.

"Hone ko to kuch bhi ho sakta ha Santo, dekhte hain kya bane ga humare Mahela Police Thane ka," Pushpa Ji answered. She was very unsure about the unforeseeable future. She knows how Karishma Singh is. It totally depends on the SHO. How will she tackle her?

"Do you know Pushpa Ji? What time will Karishma madam be coming in? We should all be here on time to welcome our new SHO," Santo said excitedly.

"Also, where is Cheetah, I don't see him either, Santosh seems pissed off. I don't want to give her the wrong first impression about us," Santo told Pushpa Ji.

Pushpa ji stated, "aur Hum bhi."

"Santosh tum Karshima ji ko phone karo aur hum cheetah se pata karte hain," Pushpa ji stated. Pata nahi kab taq ayain gaye yeh dono.

(Pushpa Ji picked up her phone and moved to one corner and Santo in another. Both of them were trying to reach out to the missing parties before the arrival of the new SHO).

Meanwhile, both of them were on the phone, Billu saw a young woman entering Mahela Police Thana wearing a Pink Salwar Suit. She was there to file an FIR against a biker who was going over the speed limit and might have run her over. She was waiting for one of the constables to attend to her but both of them seemed so busy that they didn't pay any heed to the bell that she was ringing.

(Billu was enjoying the helplessness of the woman and carelessness of the constables).

After getting no response, the woman stood up. She stopped in front of Pushpa Ji and Santo and tried to get their attention by waving before them. But, It was a futile effort. She sighed and moved to SHO's office but no one was there. There were four desks but only two constables were on duty. One constable and SI are still missing. Then, she looked at Billu who was looking very keenly at her. She raised her eyebrows with a questionable look, ignoring Billu, she then started moving around thana, observing, and keeping the record of everything. After she was done analyzing the station, she came near Billu.

"Aap ka naam Kya hai?" She inquired.

"Billu.."

"Pura Naam..."

"Billu Champat."

"Kis jurm mein andher hai, app?"

"Kisi bhi nahi, Yeh Billu Niwas hai or ma Yahi rehta hoon."

"Acchaa!!" She looked at him amusingly.

"Acha Billu ji hum chalte hain. Jab yeh dono apne phone se farigh ho jaye, inko please bataye ga ke hum complain likh wane aye the. Hum Apna Naam or number us table per (She pointed towards Pushpa Ji's desk) rake Kar Ja Rahe Hain. Please, inse khaye ga ke humain call back karian to hum a jaye Gaye. Dobara, Okay!" she said as she started heading towards the door.

"Okay," Billu replied.

After that, she left the station.

Karishma Singh entered the station approximately after 10 minutes and found nobody in her sight. She yelled, "Amma Kaha ho Sab?"

Santosh came out, followed by Pushpa Ji.

"Jai Hind Madam," both responded.

"Jai Hind," Karhima Singh nodded.

"Arey Yeh Cheetah Khana hai?" Karishma Singh inquired.

"Jai Hind Madam!" Cheetah reported on duty.

Karishma turned back to see him." Amma ab wahin khade Raho Gaye ya ander bhi aoe Gaye," she said in an agitated tone.

"Ji, Ji, Madam. A Gaya main," cheetah said nervously.

"Aur Pushpa Ji Kuch pata chala Humari nayi SHO ke bare main," Karishma Singh inquired.

Pushpa Ji was about to respond when they all heard a dabang voice. "Kya puchna chahti hain app? Hum se brah-e-rasat (directly) poch li jiye, Karishma Singh!" The new SHO asked.

Karishma Singh didn't even dare to turn, She knows the owner of this voice. Suddenly, she feels all of her energy draining out. She felt that she would collapse, any moment now.

While Karishma Singh was trying to overcome her emotions, all others welcomed their new SHO with a very warm yet powerful salute.

She nodded and responded to all of them at a time, "Jai Hind!"

"So, Kya Jaana chati hai ap Karashim Singh, humare bare main," the new SHO inquired.

"Kuch Nahi Madam Sir," that's all she was able to utter.

"Mhmm..." SHO responded.

"In my Cabin, now! All of you (pointing her baton towards all of them and then at Billu)," she said as she started moving towards her cabin.

While following the Thana staff into Madam Sir's cabin Billu was thinking, "In sab ki Toh Lag Gayi!"
