As soon as Hassena opened the ward door in Hospital, she received a shock. A man standing infront of Hospital bed. He turned and gave a smile.

"Mr. Ajay Bakshi?", Hassena murmured shockingly.

"Sahi pehchana Mrs. Singh. Yakin nahi hota ki itne saalon baad bhi aapko mera naam aur meri shakal acche se yaad hai!", Bakshi said smiling.

"Aapko hum kaise bhool sakte hai sir!", She said sarcastically with a smile.

"Lekin hum yeh soch rahe the ki aapko itne saalon baad Anubhav ki yaad kaise aa gayi? Jab humne pucha tha ki Anubhav zinda hai ya nahi tab toh aap hume taal rahe the", Hassena said walking towards him.

"Anubhav hamare sabse kabil officers mein se ek hai Mrs. Singh. Par hume ek baat samajh nahi aa rahi hai ki aap Anubhav ko Lucknow se Mumbai kyu le ayi?", Ajay Bakshi questioned.

Hassena looked at him and then diverted his gaze. Her gaze then fell on the person laying on the bed motionless, several instruments and saline bottle attached to his body. A tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly wiped it and sat on the stood beside the bed.

"Aap hi bataeye kya karte hum?", Hassena said and moulded her hand with the person's hand. "Hum fir ek baar aapne Anubhav ko khona nahi chahte the", Hassena said emotionally.

Yes, the person laying on the bed was Anubhav.

"Matlab?", Bakshi asked.

Hassena looked at him and then again at Anubhav. She pressed a kiss on his forehead, "Aap bahar hamara intezaar kariye, hum bahar akar aapko sab kuch sach sach batate hai...", She said.

Ajay Bakshi hummed and went outside the Room.

"Anubhav... Kitne saal ho gaye, aapko aaise rahe... Kitna intezaar kare aab hum. Tadap rahe hai sab aapke bina, khas kar Ansh ko. Aapko pata hai kitna wait kiya hai humne aapko Ansh ke baarein mein batane ke liye. Please jaldi thik ho jaeye. Agar aapko kuch...", She choked in the middle and kissed their moulded hands again.

Outside, Bakshi was waiting for Hassena to come out from ward. Soon, Hassena came out. She signed him to sit on hospital bench. He nodded and sat down was  followed by Hassena sitting infront of him, on another seat.

"Lagbhag panch saal pehle, jab hamara Ansh char mahine ka tha, hum Lucknow mein hi rehte the.", She said and took a pause. "Tab Ansh ko bohot bukhar chadha tha. Isiliye hum usse Doctor ke paas le gaye the.... Humne socha bhi nahi tha ki hume vaha Anubhav iss halat mein milenge", she looked at her hands trying to control her tears, remembering the incident.

"I can understand your feelings Mrs. Singh!", Bakshi said in consoling tone.

"Nahi samajh sakte hai aap sir", she snapped at him. He hung his head down. "Na aap che (6) saal pehle samajh sake the aur na aaj samajh payenge.", She said in angry tone.

"I know maine aapko aur aapke bacche ko bohot bura bhala kaha tha che saal pehle jab aap headquarters ayi thi. Lekin iske piche ek vajah thi... Aur voh vajah aapka pati hi hai", Bakshi said fiddling with his fingers.

Hassena narrowed her eyes and looked at him in questioning tone.

"Hassena, jab Anubhav ko yeh mission allot hua tha, tab usne iss mission mein jaane ke liye humare saamne ek shart rakhi thi...", He told her.

"Kaise shart?", Hassena said curiously.

"Voh darasal..."
