The Unprecedented

The Meet

It was a new day, calm and peaceful, until now that is. Now let's see what new does the meeting of our two Parallels brings to this calm and peaceful day.

At The Academy...

Karishma had woken up exceptionally early this morning and was jittery with excitement at the prospect of meeting the person she had always looked up to. She came out of her room only to find the whole academy in chaos, expecting the arrival of The Haseena Malik. The cadets and the trainers, all were busy making arrangements for the seminar and ensuring the security around the academy. Karishma was assigned the work to check the arrangements of the car that was to pick Haseena from her place of stay. She immediately got to work, contacting the driver who was to pick Haseena, and telling him all the necessary details. She then started looking after the arrangements of the seminar and helping her friends and co-cadets with whatever was required.

At Haseena's place of stay...

Haseena had woken up quite early in the morning according to her habit and then followed her strict warm up and training routine she followed each day. Being an officer, it has been a part of her mornings since quite a time now. She then freshened up and checked all her engagements for later that day. She then decided to wake up Ammi, who was still sleeping, quite tired from their trip, the day before.

"Ammi, uth jaiye, dekhiye subah ho gayi hai aur hamare ready hone ka time bhi ho gaya hai", Haseena said while shaking Ammi a bit.

"To ho jao na taiyaar, hame kyun utha rahi ho abhi se. Sone do hame, jao", Ammi said sleepily. Haseena facepalmed herself due to her mother's antics.

"Ammi ham kab ka ready ho chuke hain, aapka ready hone baki hai. Jaldi uthiye warna ham late ho jaenge seminar ke liye", Haseena tried again.

"5 minute aur sone do hame Haseena, uth jaenge ham", Ammi said, still not opening her eyes.

"Ya Allah, kya din aa gaye hain. Logon ki Ammi unhe uthane ke liye mashaqqat karti hain, aur ham yahan apni Ammi ko uthane ke liye mashaqqat kar rahe hain", Haseena said irritatingly and then continued, " Ammi aap isi vaqt uth jaen warna ham aapko apne sath academy nhi le jaenge", Haseena said sternly and finally she was successful in waking her mother up.

"Har vaqt dhauns jamani hai bas, huh", Ammi said, throwing Haseena a glare. Finally deciding to get ready. Haseena shook her head and said nothing.

She then moved towards her own room to wear her uniform. Soon it was time for them to leave. The driver who had to pick them up had already reached their pickup point. They sat in the army jeep and off they drove towards their destination.

At the academy...

Karishma was pacing here and there in the seminar hall, checking all the arrangements and doing all the last minute preps for the IB Chief's welcome. Just then she received a text from Haseena's driver that they'll be reaching the academy in 10 minutes. Karishma had already inspected all the arrangements and found them to be perfect. She took a sigh of relief and ran out to inform everyone about Haseena's arrival.

Soon the head trainer and the other trainers were standing at the entrance of the academy, waiting for Haseena's arrival with a warm and regarding smile and a bouquet in their hand and along with them stood few of the best trainees of the academy. Then stood three of the best cadets of the academy, one of whom was Karishma. They were in their uniforms, their names shining bright on the badges pinned to their uniform.

A jeep soon stopped right in front of the eager faces waiting for the IB Chief's arrival. The driver hurriedly came out and moved to open the door for Haseena. The IB Chief stepped out of the jeep in all her swag and glory, looking charming as always, a very powerful aura surrounding her. Her bravery and valour reflecting in the series of medals pinned proudly to her uniform.

Everybody present there were under the influence of Haseena's powerful aura and her magnetic personality. Everyone was looking at her with reverence and admiration, but there was one person who just couldn't look away from the IB Chief. Karishma's eyes were stuck on Haseena and she was looking at her as if she was the only one present there, the shine in her eyes were proof enough of the extent to which she looked up to Haseena.

The trainers came forward and presented the bouquet to Haseena which she accepted with a warm smile. They then saluted Haseena and gave her their introductions.

"Jai Hind", Haseena nodded, acknowledging them.

Just then Ammi too stepped out of the vehicle and everyone's attention shifted towards her. Haseena smiled at the confusion written on their faces and stepped forward to support her mother and introduce her to the people present there.

"Ye hain hamari sabse badi supporter aur hamari strength, hamari Ammi", Haseena addressed to all the people. "Ham apni duty ki wajah se apni Ammi ko jyada vakt nhi de paate, to socha unhe apne sath seminar mein le aaen. Unke sath thoda vakt bhi bita lenge, aur vo bhi hamari line of duty ke bare mein thoda kareeb se jaan lengi", she concluded.

"Acha socha aapne Chief, duty ke liye jazba acha hai, par uske aage apne parivar ko kabhi nhi bhulna chahiye", a strong voice spoke up from among the crowd.

Everyone turned their eyes towards the person who has just spoken, Haseena and Ammi's eyes too were searching for the person when the crowd cleared and the owner of the voice came into view. Karishma, who was quiet until now, was now looking at Haseena with determination and confidence in her eyes.

Haseena's eyes found Karishma's and she suddenly felt at peace. The restlessness and unknown nerves that had engulfed Haseena previously, vanished completely and a sudden certain warmth filled her entire being. It was as if her soul had found it's other whole.

Their eyes locked and the world dissolved into thin air. They were lost into each other.

Ammi, who was observing Haseena since the time she heard Karishma, was shocked and surprised. She had never seen Haseena like that, completely lost into someone's eyes and smiling unknowingly. She was already impressed with Karishma by what she said, and now looking at the sudden change in her daughter because of Karishma, she had already considered Karishma her own daughter.

She stepped forward and cupped Karishma's face between her palms and looked at her lovingly. "Kitni pyari bachi hai. Tumhara naam kya hai beta?", she asked Karishma, still cupping her face.

"Ham Karishma Singh hain Aunty. Is academy ke cadet, aur jald hi ham bhi IB join karne wale hain", Karishma said in a soft voice.

"Aunty nhi Ammi bolo beta, tum bhi Haseena ki tarah bachi hi ho hamari", Ammi told Karishma.

"Ji Ammi", Karishma said and smiled.

Haseena was watching the exchange between the two with a soft smile on her face. She only came back out of her trance when Karishma called her and asked something.

"Chief, agar aapka permission ho to ham Ammi ko academy ka tour dena chahte hain", Karishma said.

"Ji jaroor, aap dono jaa sakte hain, vaise bhi seminar shuru hone mein abhi kuch samay hai, us se pahle ham sabhi trainers se ek meeting karna chahte hain", Haseena replied.

Karishma saluted her and then turned towards Ammi with a smile and together they went away excitedly.

Haseena kept looking at Karishma with a smile on her face until she disappeared from her sight. Karishma too kept thinking about Haseena and her personality with a smile. Both of them feeling strangely complete, an unknown feeling blooming slowly into their hearts.
