HM looks at her, one eyebrow raised, a little smile. KS is smiling widely.
HM: to ab jawab milega?

HM: jawab?
KS: Haan Haan hum thik hai. Aur aap?
HM: aap janti hai na aap humse koi bhi baat kr sakti hai. Kal de aap thodi tense lag rahi hai.
KS: ab MS hum thode sensitive case pe kam kr rahe hai, thoda asar to hoga.

HM: Humne pehle hi kaha ki koi behas nahi chahiye. Hum order de rahe hai aapko. Aur hume promise chahiye.

HM gives her death stare. KS sighs.

HM: Better. Ab chaliye.
KS: kahan?
HM: breakfast krne.
KS: Ji lekin hum to
HM: hume pata hai aapne nahi khaya hai. Chaliye.
HM gets up, KS follows her.
KS: lekin aapko kaise pata?
HM stops and looks back.
HM: aapke pas subah itna time hota to aap hume jawab de deti. Nahi?
KS smiles and nods. HM smiles back.

At night. They have finished all their tasks for the day and have also acquired permission to keep an eye on the boy. So they are together in HM's car, in front of the Boy's house but on a roadside parking. The road is well lit. They are having dinner in the car.
HM: KS aap kabhi relax nahi hoti hai kya?
KS: matlab?
HM: matlab humesha sirf kam ki baat krti hai. Humne koi baat Chedi to bhi bas sawalon ke jawab deti hai.
KS: Ji MS adat hi nahi hai. Waise koi man ki baat janne me interested mila hi nahi. Ghar me Ho bhi hota tha usse hum humesha ghusse me hi rehte the. To thik se koi dost bana hi nahi.
HM: Hmm ab adat dal lijiye. Dost to aapko mil gaya hai aur kafi annoying bhi hai. Jawab liye bina chodega nahi.
KS gives a sad smile. HM is observing every line on her face.
KS: Wo pili street light dekh rahi MS?
She points out to a light. All the other lights are white just one in the corner is yellow.
HM: Haan
KS: bas hum waise hai. Durse se dekho to bhot interesting shayad beautiful bhi. Lekin jaise jaise pass jayenge na wahi beautiful light ankhon me chubhne lagega aur aap muh pher lenge.
HM's eyes are teary. She is looking at KS intently. She holds KS's hands, they are looking into each other's eyes. They stay like that for a while. Both are teary eyed. HM takes a deep breath and tightens her grip on KS's hands.
HM: Dosti aisa rishta hai Karishma jo nibhane ke liye sochna nahi padta. isme liye dost ki qualities nahi dekhi jati. Bas sath diya jata hai aur wo dene ke liye bhi alag se kuch krna nahi padta, bas Ho jata hai. Apne aap.
KS is just looking at her with gratitude.
HM: Hum dost hai Karishma aur humesha rahenge chahe jo bhi Ho. Kuch bhi Ho bas itna yad rakhna ki hum hai, humesha.
She leaves KS's hands and offers a hug. KS accepts. They hug. Now both are smiling teary eyed.
No one breaks the hug. After a few seconds,
KS: Thank you Haseena.
they both feel the warmness and after KS takes HM's name she feels shivers down the spine. The touch makes them feel something they are not able to recognise. They break the hug awkwardly, look ahead and change the topic.
KS: MS wo ladka kisise phone pe baat kr raha hai.
They put on headphones and listen to what he is saying, meanwhile stealing glances.
They find nothing that night and leave after the boy sleeps.

After reaching home KS's phone beeps.
HM: kal hum dono thoda late jayenge, Humne Chita ko bol diya hai wo sabhal lega. Aap Aram kariye. Lunch pe milte hai.
KS: Thank you MS.
HM: Ab dost man hi liya hai to after duty hours at least, MS mat boliye.
KS: Ji koshish krenge
HM rolls her eyes.
HM: Aapka kuch nahi Ho sakta 🙄
KS: pata hai 😬
Both are smiling looking at their phones.
They sleep smiling.
