New Beginning for Haseena Malik

Chapter - 23

[The fearless team was waiting for their ride along with Saurabh and Aarushi Jain]

[AV pulled HM to a corner to drop his voice low so that no one else can hear them.]

AV - Aapko sach me lagta hai ki hume ye Saurabh ko aise hi jaane dena chaiye.

HM - Aap kya phir hume koi jazbaaton ke upar lecture dene waale hain?

[HM looked toward AV with her eyebrows raised. She crossed her arms.]

AV - Nahi nahi Haseena ji.

HM - Nahi kyuki agar aap dene waale hai to hum bhi aapko bata de ki yahan baat sirf possibilities ki hai.

AV - Haan wo to --

[HM cuts off AV's words and didn't let him speak.]

HM - Possibility hai ki hum Saurabh ko yahan rakhe aur sayad un bacho ko smjhane ki jaroorat hi naa pade

AV - Haan Haseena ji --

HM - Lekin kya gaurantee hai ki aisa hi kuch hoga? Bataiye.

AV - Aap suniye to --

HM - Nahi aap suniye. Aisa bhi to ho sakta hai ki wo jitne bhi students hain wo humese hi ladne lag jaayen kyuki humne Saurabh ko pakad kar rakha hai.

AV - Aap sahi keh rahin hain possibility --

HM - Aapko har baar aisa kyu lagta hai ki kyuki humne decision liya hai to galat hi hoga.

[By this time, HM voice was high and the other members of the team looked at them.]

AV - Arre Haseena ji main --

HM - Nahi ek baat bataiye agar aap koi decision le aur hum baar baar ye kahen ki wo decision galat hai to aapko kaisa lagega?

AV - Arre I get it --

HM - Fine, aapko nahi bharosa koi baat nahi. Aap jaise chahe waise solve kijiye case ko.

[HM turns to leave without giving AV a chance to explain but he catches her wrist to turn her back again.]

AV - Haseena ji dekhiye...

[He started to explain himself but then stopped and sighed.]

AV - I am sorry. Main aap ke plan pe doubt nahi kar raha tha I just don't think ki Saurabh pe mujhe abhi bhi 100% bharosa hai.

[He placed a hand on her shoulder and looked deep into her eyes.]

AV - I trust you.

HM - Huh?

AV - I mean, I trust your plan.

[AV removed his hand a slight blush crossed his face.]

[DJ  (Deewan Ji) pulled a jeep around and blew the horn to let everyone know.]

[HM and AV joined others.]

HM - To sabko apna kaam yaad hai?

[MS, KS, Saurabh, and AJ give a loud yes to her.]

HM - Great!

[Saurabh, KS and AJ went to another car that was parked there when HM calls AJ aside.]

HM - Aarushi Jain I know ki aap iss sab me already fas chuki hai lekin ye humara last chance hai. Agar aap--

AJ - I know Haseena Malik. And I wanted to thank you. Even ye ek chance bhi mere liye bahut bada hai. And I know ki aapne Saurabh ke liye jo kaam assign kiya hai wo thoda risky hai lekin I will make sure ki koi gadbad naa ho.

[They nod at each other and AJ goes to the car.]

[When HM reached the jeep, MS and DJ were already inside but AV was standing outside, holding the door.]

[He opened the door as he saw HM approaching and then shut the door beside her and settled himself to the seat next to DJ.]

AV - Chale?

[When both HM and MS said yes, DJ started the jeep and within half and hour they were on their destination.]

AV - Let's split up.

[AV announced when they all came to the railway station.]

AV - Deewan ji aap malika SHarma ke sath rahenge aur me aur Haseena ji ek team me.

[DJ looked at him for several seconds without blinking.]

AV - Kya?

DJ - Sir lekin hum dono to ek team me hai na.

AV - Arre deewan ji --

HM - Haan ye bhi theek hai. Waise bhi me Malika Sharma ke saath rahti hu to hum platform ko right side se cover kar lenge.

MS - Nahi nahi madam aap sir ke saath hi achi lagti hain.

[All three turned to MS with wide eyes when she said that.]

MS - Arre matlab aapka style aur sir ka style dono saath me hi acha lagta hai. Aur waise bhi mujhe na Deewan ji ke saath kaam karne ki aadat hai to coordination acha rahega.

[MS gave AV a look and he ducked his head to look at HM.]

HM - Deewan ji aapko koi problem --

AV - Arre Haseena ji Deewan ji ko koi problem nahi hai aur waise bhi time waste nahi kar sakte.

DJ - Lekin sir --

[DJ was about to protest but AV cut him off.]

AV - Lekin Deewan ji target dhudna hai. Aap aur Malika Sharma right side se search kijiye aur me aur Haseena Malik left side me search karte hain. Is that clear?

[DJ and MS went to the right side of the platform while HM and AV started to go toward the left side.]

HM - Platform number 2 pe hi kaha tha Saurabh ne.

AV - Ho na ho yahan bhi wo kisi student ko hi bhejigi.

HM - Of course. Itni himmat nahi hai usme ki wo khud yahan aa jaye.

[They passed by a small tea stall on the platform but didn't notice the person who was sitting there with a mask on.]

AV - Lekin baat ye hai ki parcel aur person hum to dono me se kisi ko nahi jaante.

HM - Ek baar aap Karishma Singh ke saath ek case solve karne gaye the.

AV - Konsa?

HM - Yaad nahi wo kisi ne apna gym bag raaste me chod diya tha aur aisa lag raha tha jaise usme bomb ho.

AV - Lekin uska iss sab se kya lena dena?

HM - Yahi ki Karishma Singh ne bataya tha hume ki kaise aapne lagbhag accuracy se ye pata laga liya tha ki usme bomb nahi hai.

AV - Again, iss sab se kya lena dena?

HM - Aap yahan corwd ko dekhke nahi pata laga paa rahe ki kon suspecious dikh raha hai?

[She looked at him with a challenging smirk.]

AV - Bilkul me pata laga sakta hun. Aur waise near accuracy nahi bilkul accurate tha main.

HM - Sure sure.

AV - Ek second, aapne abhi meri taarif ki?

[HM stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.]

HM - Aapko kya lagta hai?

AV - Waise to main ek minute me pata laga leta ki kon suspecious hai yahan.

HM - Aur ab?

[AV took a step forward toward her.] 

AV - Ab thoda mushkil lag raha hai.

[He was still looking in her eyes.]

HM - Acha. Aisa kyun?

AV - Aap --

[He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence as DJ's call interrupted him.]

[He picked it up in an instant.]

DJ - Sir. Gate ki taraf.
