By the time Haseena had realized her mistake, Karishma was already walking towards the aiport building.
HM: Karishma Singh, rukiye!
She turned at the sound of Haseena's voice and Haseena quickly caught up to her.
HM: Karishma Singh, please ek baar hamari baat sunn lijiye phir aapka jo faisla hoga hume manzoor hai.
Karishma sighed in disappointement and looked towards Haseena, gesturing her to go ahead.
HM: Dekhiye...hum maante hai ki iss baar hamari galti thi...humne kuch zyada overreact karliya aur aapse seedha dosti hi tod di. H-Hum bohot bure hai...boht khudgarz hai...humne ek baar ke liye bhi nahi socha ki iske baad aap pe kya beet rahi hogi (voice cracking) kya kuch nahi kaha humne aapko...kitni baar dil dukhaya aur ek baar- ek baar bhi nahi socha ki iske baad aap kaise kisipe bharosa kar payegi (her eyes welled up with tears and she began hiccuping between her words)...jis Karishma Singh ko hum jaante the...jo raazi khushi apne saare kaam karti thi aur humse jhagda karke pyaar jatati thi...wo toh hamari wajah se hi kho gayi hai....hamari wajah se hi phirse toot gayi hai...h-hum apne kiye ke liye boht sharminda hai please maaf kardijiye..
By this time Karishma's eyes had also welled up with tears. She didn't want to forgive Haseena because she knew how hard it was for her(Karishma) to trust anyone and she still did this. She still broke their friendship! But then Karishma thought about herself and the many times she was responsible for Haseena's tears. If Haseena could forgive her after all those mistakes, she had no right to leave her in remorse for the rest of her life.
KS: Hum aapke jaise bade dil wale toh nahi ki aapko aise hi maaf karde magar ek cheez humne aapse bhi seekha hai...agar kisiko dil se pachtava hota hai toh unka aadha galti wahi maaf hojaata hai. Vaise bhi....aapke bina toh hamara jindagi adhoora hai, nahi jee sakte hum aapke bina
HM: H-Hum bhi nahi jee sakte aapke bina...maaf kardijiye hume
KarEena looked at each other with moist eyes and stood in silence not knowing what to do or say next.
BGM:
Kaise Tujhko Ye Bataye,
Ke Hum Jee Nahi Paye,
Jan Leti Thi Ye,
Teri Meri Dooriyan,
Haseena said sorry through her eyes one last time and Karishma nodded with moist eyes, signalling that she had forgiven her.
Main Teri Hogayiaan,
Haseena spread her arms and Karishma ran into them at once. She threw her arms around Haseena, hugging her as tight as possible.
Han Main Teri Hogaiyaan,
Haseena reciprocated the hug and almost lifted Karishma off the floor as she held her protectively.
Main Teri Hogaiyaan
Karishma was weeping into Haseena's left shoulder while Haseena rubbed her back and sobbed into Karishma's right shoulder.
The music faded out and our favourite duo was still standing in each others arms with moist eyes. Karishma was the first one to break the hug. She cupped Haseena's face and wiped away her tears.
KS: Chaliye rona bandh kijiye ab...humne kaha tha na hum apni Maddam Sir ke aankho me aasu nahi dekh sakte...
HM(with a slightly crying voice): Aap kyu ro rahi hai phir (wiping Karishma's tears)
KS(same tone as Haseena): Hum Karishma Singh hai, kuch bhi karsakte hai!
They both chuckled with wet eyes and finally wiped away all their tears. Karishma pulled Haseena into another heart-warming embrace and the crowd that formed around them was clapping. A few minutes later, when both were back to normal, Haseena's face fell remembering Karishma would still be transferred to another police station.
HM: Chaliye ek aakhri baar aapko alvida keh dete hai, pata nahi ab mulaqat hogi bhi ya nahi. Humne aapke saath jitna waqt bitaya usme hume toh boht maza aaya aur garv bhi mehsoos hua ki aap jaisi kaabil aur hoonhar officer ke saath kaam karne ka mauka mila. (little sad)
KS: Maza toh humko bhi aata hai aapko chidane me....aur haan, aisa filmy tata bye bye mat kijiye 2 hafte baad wapas aane hi wale hai aapka sar khane
HM: 2 hafte baad? 2 hafte ka transfer kaun leta hai?
Karishma realized that she hadn't told Haseena the truth yet. She gulped in fear of Haseena's reaction when she found out about the plan.
KS: Ahh...Maddam Sir....hehehe...humne transfer nahi liya....
HM: Par aap hi ne transfer letter diya tha na hume sign karne ke liye? Aur humne sign bhi kardi...phir?
KS: Ahh....vo...maaf kijiye humko....wo transfer letter nahi leave application tha. Hum Pushpaji ke lalla ke saath ghoomne jaa rahe hai
HM(shocked, angry, relieved, happy): Kya? Yeh- par hum paper sign karte waqt usse padh na le aisa namumkin hai...phir...kaise...hum....?
KS: Amaa kahe apne khali dimaag pe jor daal rahi hai, sab plan ka hissa hi tha
HM(glaring dangerously): Khali dimaag?
KS: N-N-Nahi....bhara dimaag...gyaan aur jajbaat se bhara dimaag
HM: Nahi, sab samajh rahe hai hum 😑 Vaise aap Pushpaji ke lalla ke saath ghoomne jaa rahi hai toh wo hai kahan?
KS: Yahi baithe hai gaadi mein...ab tak toh driver ko reel videos dikha ke paka diya hoga. Bechara driver, humko toh taras aa raha hai uspar
Haseena chuckled as they went back to the car and finished taking out the luggage. Karishma was closing the trunk when she heard three loud voices in her pocket and got startled.
PS: Hello? Karishma madam? Sulah hui ki nahi?! (shouting)
CC: Pushpaji....Pushpaji humko toh lagta hai Karishma madam nikal li upar....kitni der se koshish kar rahe hai magar uu reply hi nai derahi
PS: Aye Cheete, kya kuch bhi bakaiti karte ho!
SS(shouting the loudest): KARISHMA MADAM AAPKI AUR MADDAM SIR KI SULAH HUI KI NAHI?!
Here Cheetoshpa covered their ears and stared at Santu in shock while Karishma also got startled hearing the noise and pulled her phone out of her pocket. By the time she unmuted the mic, Cheetoshpa were yelling at the top of their lungs
KS: Amaaa....shaant! Chup hojao sabke sab! Ek bhi shabd nikla kisike muh se toh maiya kasam chodenge nahi kisiko! Aur haan, aapki jaankari ke liye bata de ki-
HM(interrupting): Hamare aur Karishma Singh ke beech saari galatfehmiyan door hogayi. Aap log fikar mat kijiye
PS: Hey Shivji, aapne hamari sunn li (happy and overacting)
Shivji: Sunna toh padega na, aap itni khatarnak tareeke se kuch mangti hai toh hum bhi darr jaate hai.
PS: Dekha dekha! Humne kaha tha na, hamara plan hi kaam aayega!
SS: Haan Pushpe, congratulations (squaling in excitement)
CC: Pushpaji Congarasasas....
Santu stared at him in disbelief
CC: Ahh woi jo Santuji boli....mubarak ho Pushpaji!
Everyone smiled and after a few light-hearted talks and a usual saas-bahu fight, they disconnected the call and only KarEena and Vyom were left at the airport.
KS: Thik hai Maddam Sir, ab hum chalte hai warna der hojayega flight ke liye. Aap apna khayal rakhiye aur extra workload lene ka koshish bhi kiya toh hamara bhaukaal dekhengi aap, samajhgayi?!
HM: Ji maatey, samajh gaye (joining her hands) Aap dono bhi khayal rakhna aur...(she leaned closer and whispered in Karishma's ear) wapas aake hume masi banne ka mauka dena 😉
KS(blushing): Ah...Maddam Sir...kaa...aap bhi...
VS(murmuring slowly so only KS can hear): Vaise khayal bura nahi hai
KS(glaring): Aap toh chup hi rahiye!
Haseena shook her head and smiled. Vyoshma waved goodbye to Haseena and left for the airport while she got back in her jeep and drove back to MPT with a peaceful expression on her face
