Irresistible

31. Haseena and Ms. Mallik

Haseena got ready and opened the door and found a red envelope on her door mat.

Yeh kisney choda hai yahaan par..

She flipped it to find no address on it. Haseena walked outside her porch to see if anyone was there but it was deserted. She opened the envelope and found a card inside with some scribblings on it.

She read " I KNOW WHAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS DOING. YOU WON'T EVEN FIND A SINGLE PIECE OF HER TO DO THE LAST RITES. "

Haseena quickly walked inside her home and burnt the envelope. Even though the blackmailer had tried to hit a personal cord by hinting that they knew about Karishma being her girlfriend (or ex rather, her heart whispered back to her in dismay), the scribbling directed at Karishma's life being in danger and to the fact that the person knew of Karishma being undercover. Her heart paced and she tore the envelope and went inside the kitchen to burn it.

"Bas yehi nahi chahtey tey hum. Laparwah. Idiotic. Irrational. Gusse mein dikkai bhi nahi deta kuch" She scolded Karishma in the empty house as if it had grown ears.

"Kahaan suni thi humari. Freaking buffoon!..par kaheen ussey sach mein kuch ho gaya toh." Tears pricked at her eyes. No doubt she had led her life as if Karishma Singh had never once been a part of it but she lived it by the fact that Karishma was alive somewhere doing god knows what but alive.

"Aapko aapki jaan ki koi parwah nahi hai. Yeh jaantey huve bhi ki aap ko kuch ho jata toh hum bhi jeena chod dengey." she reminisced about something she'd said before she had broken up with Karishma.

She sighed and when the envelope was fully burnt she left her home in a hurry remembering the lady Cheetah had mentioned over call. This was important and scary yes but there was nothing she could do right NOW that could help her find who was behind the note but the lady needed her attention right now. She left her house in the jeep speeding away towards the thaana.

In the thana..

Haseena walked in the thaana and her eyes landed on the lady Cheetah had mentioned over call. She was a middle aged woman and she wore a skimpy red saree. Her mouth red indicating that she had the habit of chewing tobacco. Haseena politely invited her into her cabin.

"Ji boliye. Dekhie aap befikre rahiye aur FIR register kijiye taaki hum fauran action le sake." Haseena reassured.

"Nahi maddam sir aap humare pati ko nahi jaanti. Woh apne doston ke saat mere babu ji ke ghar ko hadap liya hai aur khaali karne se mana kar raha hai. Humara request hai kya aap humare saat aah sakti hai humare babu ji ke ghar woh sab ko dar kar bhaag jayengey aur hum chein ke jindaji jee saktey hai." She finished. Just then Haseena dropped her phone by mistake and bent to pick it up. Her eyes fell on the lady's lap on the other side of her table and she noticed something strange. The lady had her phone on call with someone and the caller ID showed "Boss".

She straightened up after picking up her phone.

"Ji zaroor. Ek minute hum abhi aate hai." She excused herself and came outside her cabin and walked to Santosh Sharma.

"Santosh Sharma humare baat ko dyaan se suniye." She whispered and Santu knew the seriousness of the situation so she started listening carefully.

"Andar joh aurat humare saat hai, woh ek setup lag rahi hai. Nahi koi babu ki haweli hai nahi koi aeda pati. Yeh bas humko kaheen trap karwana chah rahi hai. Isiliye hum andar jaa rahe hai humare phone ko aapke saat call mein connect karte hue. Jaise jaise woh information deti jayengi waise waise aap ussey confirm karengi got it?" Haseena got inside her cabin quickly so as to not invoke any suspicion.

She developed conversation with the women and agreed to go to the haweli. Her phone vibrated with a message from Santu confirming her suspicion of the lady lying about her family, native, job and everything else.
