New Beginning for Haseena Malik

Chapter - 19

[Bunty's innocent questions kept Amar up all night.]

[Where he thought Haseena thinks of her job, the same as Amar does and that's why she doesn't want to get married, Haseena's reasons were completely different.]

*The next morning*

HM - Arrey Amar nahi aaye abhi tak.

Deewan ji - Nahi wo abhi Bunty ko school chod ke aayenge.

KS - Waise madam sir, ye Amar sir iss case ko jyada halke me nahi le rahe?

Deewan ji - Kya matlab?

KS - Na matlab, ab lagbhag hum iss case ke ant pe hain aur Amar sir hain ki thane aane me hi late ho gaye.

[Deewan ji was about to give excuses on Amar's behalf when HM beats him to it.]

HM - Bunty thode din se pareshan bhi to hai. Acha hua ki aaj uske saath chale gaye. Aur waise bhi police ki job main transfer aur kaam dono ka impact family pe to padh hi jaata hai.

[Deewan ji and KS looked at her suspiciously when AV entered.]

AV - Arrey aap log aa gaye, chalo acha hai.

KS - Haan sir hum to time se aa gaye.

AV - Oookay... Great to phir aaj kya kya karna hai discuss kar le?

KS - Sir uss se pehle.. hume abhi bhi iss Saurabh pe bharosa nahi ho raha. Iski baatein thodi fit nahi baith rahin.

AV - Karishma Singh hum Saurabh ko plan ka hissa na bhi banaye to bhi humare paas aur koi option nahi hai. Aur agar Saurabh jhoot bol raha hai to ye inki boss ko pata hai ki hume kitni baatein actually me pata chal chuki hain.

Deewan ji - Phir to sir wo ye sab khatam karne ka aur jo bhi iska plan hai usse pura karne ke bahut kareeb hogi.

HM - Exactly Deewan ji. Aur humare haath aane ka koi plan to nahi hoga uska.

AV - Ek kaam kijiye Karishma Singh, aap Aarushi Jain se baat kijiye. Saurabh unka dost hai. hum agar uske sahi galat ka pata nahi bhi laga payenge to wo to laga hi sakti hain. Unse akele me baat kijiye, dekhiye kya pata chalta hai.

KS - Ji sir.

HM - Ek kaam kijiye Deewan ji, aap Saurabh se baat kijiye. Agar wo koi nayi information deta hai to achha nahi to usko observe karne ka mauka mil jaayega.

Deewan ji - Ji mam.

[Both of them saluted and left the office where HM and AV were now.]

AV - Aapko kya lagta hai Haseena ji? 

HM - Ye case iss samay --

[AV looked at HM and his mind wander back to the conversation he had with Bunty.]

* Bunty - To aap Haseena mam ko date ke liye kyu nahi puchte?

AV - Ye tum har baar kya date beech me le aate ho? Aur waise bhi Haseena ji sirf meri colleague hain unke saath date pe jaane ka koi plan nahi hai mera.

Bunty - Arre lekin unka hoga to?

AV - Kuch bhi? Unhe to shaadi hi nahi karni.

Bunty - Aapse?

AV - Kisi se bhi.

Bunty - Kyun?

AV - Maybe kyuki wo apni job ko compromise nahi karna chahti?

Bunty - Unhone bola aisa?

AV - Arrey bola nahi hai.. Par brilliant officer hain na wo to ho sakta hai --

Bunty - Papa, apne hi to kaha tha ki hume try karna chaiye aur bina try kare haar nahi manani chahiye.

AV - Sports ke liye kaha tha.

Bunty - Aapko bhi ek baar try karna chaiye papa.

AV - Bunty?

Bunty - Aapne kabhi unse pucha hai?*

[AV was determined on asking HM out on a date when he entered the police station.]

[AV realised that HM was still talking and he hadn't listened to a word.]

HM - Aur rahi baat Aarushi ki to ho sakta hai ki wo Saurabh ko sahi samajh rahi ho aur usse maaf karde.

AV - Aisa kyun?

HM - Jab koi apna dhoka deta hai to hum aksar ye pretend kar lete hain ki uski majboori rahi hogi aur baar baar usse maaf kar dete hai. Humari aakon ke saamne bhi wo galat kare to bhi hum chate hain ki kaash wo ek sapna ho aur jab hum usse jaagen to...

[HM's eyes got a little wet as she thought back about Anubhav.]

[AV noticed her mood shift and decided not to ask her out.]

AV - Lagta hai aap ye sab ache se jaanti hain.

[HM controlled her emotions and nodded with a straight face]

AV - Dekhiye me ye to nahi jaanta ki aap kis ke baare me baat kar rahi hain par kisi pe bharosa karna humari pasand hoti hai aur humara bharosa tod dena samne waali ki marzi. Hum unhe mana to nahi kar sakte per har baar bas khud ko koste reh jaate hain.

I am sure aap jiski bhi baat kar rahi hain usme aapki galati nahi hai. 

[HM didn't meet AV's eyes.]

AV - Just know ki kabhi aapko baat karni ho to mai ... coffee achi banata hun.

[HM chuckled and KS entered the office again.]

KS - Madam sir, Aarushi mam ko lagta hai ki Saurabh sach keh raha hai.

HM - Aur aapko kya lagta hai Karishma Singh?

KS - Madam sir, waise to tajorba aapko jyada hai aisi cheezo ka lekin mujhe nahi laga ki Aarushi mam sirf unka dost hai isliye aisa keh rahi thin.

AV - Kyun?

KS - Sir unhone kaha ki wo aise tabhi baat karta hai jab ghbraya hua hota hai aur agar Saurabh uski boss ke kehne pe yahan aata to ghabrata nahi.

HM - Ye maine bhi notice kiya. Aisa lag raha tha jaise wo baar baar ye dekhne ki koshish kar raha hai jaise koi use sun to nahi raha.

AV - Wait iska matlab uski jo boss hai wo potentially humari baatein sun sakti hai?

KS - Sir ye to aapko pata hoga aapka thana hai.

AV - Karishma Singh thane ki baat nahi hai -

HM - Ek second aapke thane me us area se kuch complaints aayin thi na?

AV - Haan aayi to thin. aapko lagta hai un logo ne ye thana bug kiya hai?

HM - Dekhiye --

[HM's words were cut short when Deewan ji entered the office]

Deewan ji - Sir, sir. Bahar aaiye.
