KarEena the Beginning of a Saga

10.

At Mallik House - 2 am

HM is turning and tossing on her bed. She is unable to sleep. She is constantly thinking about KS. 
KS is her sleep drug. HM is missing her terribly. The way KS calms her down and takes care of her and makes her sleep.. HM is missing all that.

HM remembers how KS holds her and caresses her .. HM suddenly gets up and sits on the bed when  she remembers about the morning she found herself sleeping on top of KS.

HM to herself:  aisa kaise ho skta hai.. Hum neend me itne kaise madhosh ho gye ki hum unke upar hi char ke so gaye.

Kahi wo usdin ki humari harkat se to naraz nhi hogyi..?

Kahi humne anjaane me KS ko uncomfortable to nhi kr dia?

Kahi ye wajah to nhi jo wo aaj apne ghar chali gyin..?

Nhi nhi.. Hume nhi lgta. Qk is baat ko 2 mahine ho chuke h. Aur agr wo uncomfortable hoti ya koi v aur pareshani hoti toh itne dino bad q react krengi.. Aur wo toh usdin ke bad bhi lagatar, 2 mahine se roz hi humare sath so rhin hain.. In fact ab toh hume unki aadat si hogyi h. Unke bina bechaini si...

She stops realizing what she just said.

HM then continues talking to herself

HM: Ye hum kya keh rahe hai. Ye thik nhi h. Hum istrha KS ke upar depend nhi kar skte.. Mana ke wo humari dost hain par unki khud ki personal life bhi toh hai.. Wo kabtak aise roz humare ghr pe rahengi..

Hum kal hi unse baat krenge aur unhe samjha denge ki ab iski zarurat nhi

Matlab ab unhe humare ghar rehne ki zarurat nhi.

Aur wo khud bhi kitna thak jati hain..

Din bhar wardi ki duty aur fir raat me humari duty humari sewa me lag jati hai.

Nhi.. Nhi... I have to stop this..

She lies down holding a pillow..

Lekin hum kitna miss kar rahe hain unhe.. Aadhi raat guzar gyi aur hum tabse unhi ke baare me soch rahe h. Kya wo bhi hume miss kar rahi hongi..

Ya Khuda ye kya hogya h hume.. Ye hum kya soch rhe h..

Wo bhala q hume miss krengi.

Kya pata wo humari itni khidmat dosti ke naate nhi, balke sirf humare senior hone ke Lehaaz se karti hain.

Nhi nhi.. Hum pagal hogye ha kya. KS humari dost hain aur unhe humari parwah hai..

Unhone kaha tha ki hum me unki jaan basti hai.

A strange smile appears on HM face with this thought. She feels something different that she has never felt before.

She again gets up and sits and opens her mouth in an O shape and covers it with her hands in shock.

HM: kya tha wo.. Us raat.. Humne toh dhyan hi nhi dia.. Hum toh bhul hi gye the.. Us raat Jab KS ne hume chua.. humare balon ko aur fir..

Wo kch alag tha.. It was so different from her normal touch.. I know KS is so formal with me all the time.. And wo kavi hume touch nhi krti.. Woh toh hum hi hain jo rote rote unpe kudd parte hain.. Lekin us raat KS did touch me and i remember clearly now it was a different touch..

Uff Allah.. Haseena Malik.. Chup ho jao.. Tumhara dimag kharab hogya hai. Ye bakwaas bina sar pair ki baten lekr baith gyi ho.. Kch mat socho aur Chup chap se so jao..

HM scolded herself and tried to sleep but in vain.. She continued turning and tossing in her bed until sunrise.

She could only sleep for a couple of hours before she had to get up to get ready to go to MPT.

Few days has passed. KS did not go to HM house. Even during duty hours KS was busy on field duty and hardly spent any time in the thaana.. She would reach MPT to report early n the morning and leave before HM would arrive.. And after duty hours KS would directly report at the HQ. Forget about talking... HM was getting desperate to even get a glimpse of KS.

-------------------------------------------------------

Few days later At MPT

HM arrives before anyone else..

Cheetah had night duty so he was sleeping on the bench and Billu was sleeping in his Billu Niwas (lock up).

Without disturbing them, HM quietly walks into her cabin and waits there desperately for KS to arrive.

Almost 45 mins had passed and HM was losing her patience.. She was dying to see KS face..

HM picked up her phone and was about to dial KS when she heard the sound of KS bike.. And she sighed in relief..

KS entered MPT with PS walking behind her trying to fix her hair.

KS kicks Cheetah who then falls off the bench and gets entangled in his chaddar.

He somehow manages to free himself and stands up straight

He salutes KS but instead of saying Jai Hind he says "Good Morning Karishma Madam"

KS glares at him

Cc: Saury.. Saury madam.. Jai Hind..!
He salutes again, correctly this time.

KS: Jai Hind.. ! Ama kabhi... matlab kabhi to kaam kallo.  Sarkar sone ke lie vetan nhi deti hai tume ... Abhi bhi wakt hai bata rahe hai sudhar jao.. Warna kisi din aisa rocket banayege na beta tumko.. ki sona toh dur jameen pe land bhi nahi kar paoge..

Cheetah makes a sad face and looks at Pushpa ji.

KS to PS: yhi yhi.. aapke laad ne in sab ko bigaar rakha h..

PS: arey ab humne kya kia.. Har chiz ka bill aap hum pe q farti hain..

KS : aapko toh hum baad me bill ka hisab kitab denge

She walks towards the lock up

KS: aey Bille.. Chalo utho.. Bht tor li muft ki rotiyan.. Ab thora kam kallo. 5 min me hume thane ke bahar milo.

Billu: Karrishma Madammm.. pressure aya hai, thora halka toh hone do plz

KS makes a disgusting face and walks away

KS: Ama jo krna hai jaldi karo aur bahir ake milo.. Sirf 10 min hai tumaye pass.. Tab tak hum Badnam ka jehar pile thora.. Dimag bhi toh chaukas rakna parega..

KS turns and was about to leave when her eyes fall on HM standing at her cabin door

KS: Jai Hind MS

HM: Jai Hind

KS: MS aap itni jaldi kaise aagayin..?

HM : aapko bht miss kar rhe the (murmurs softly under her breath)

KS : kaa.. Ka kaha aapne?

HM : Kaam.. Kaam miss hogya  tha..  Bht sare files pending hai na.. Whi dekna tha..

KS : Acha.. Thik hai.. Hume jara bahar kch kaam hai.. Hum aate hain

HM: Abhi abhi toh aap ayin hain.. Thori der toh rukye humare pass

KS looks at HM doubtfully.. She walks closer and studies her face carefully

KS: MS ! aap thik toh hai na.. ??

HM: Humare pass.. (HM scratches her neck in nervousness thinking what to say) Humare pass kch kaam hai aapke lie.. Aap aye humare cabin me .. aaye agr aapko zada jaldi nhi hai toh

KS: Jee MS chalye na.. Itni bhi koi jaldi nhi hai humko.. Aise bhi abhi Bille ko thora wakt lgega..
