New Beginning for Haseena Malik

Chapter - 33

AJ - Haan I know her.

DJ - Ye beech ke dialogue marna band kare madam aur wo batayen jo hume nahi pata ho.

[AJ glared at him but continued]

AJ - Ye mere saath Academy me thi humari joining same date ki hi thi. Infact she used to be a good friend.

HM - Isse academy se kyu nikala tha?

AJ - Kyuki ye chori karti thi. Police line me aane ka purpose bhi iska isliye tha taaki koi ispe shak na kare aur ye aaram se rishwat le sake.

AV - Aur given your nature ye to obvious hai ki aapne hi isko pakadwaya hoga.

AJ - To aur kya karte? Chori karte rehne dete isse?

[The tension between AV and AJ was high and it was obvious that AV was doubting every single word that AJ was saying.]

HM - Haan lekin aapko kaise pata chala ye sab?

AJ - Meri roomate thi ye. Back in the day, mujhe laga tha ki ye actually me police force crime solving ke liye join karna chahti hai.

[AV scoffed and said]

AV - Of course aapko laga tha.

AJ - Point is ki mujhe pehle ispe koi shak bhi nahi tha aur iska roomate hone me koi prblm bhi nahi thi. 

HM - Phir sach kaise pata chala?

AJ - Tanvi raat me aksar bahar rahti thi aur jab wapis aati thi tab bhi kaafi der raat tak planning karti rahti thi. Pehle jab wo academy me aayi thi tab uski financial condition jyada achi nahi thi lekin phir dhere dheere uske paas achanak cash aa jata tha.

HM - Aapne usse iss barre me kabhi pucha?

AJ - Pucha tha lekin humesha bahane banana aur wo kayi part time jobs bhi karti thi to uspe shak hone ke reasons kam ho jaate the. Jab bhi koi sawal hota tha to wo kisi part time job ke uper usse daal deti thi.

KS - Na to matlab jo paise uske paas hote the wo to uski naukari ki wajah se bhi ho sakte the na.

AJ - Bilkul lekin mehnat se kamaya paisa kabhi faltu kharacha karne ke liye istimal nahi hota. Usee kaam ke liye hi kharch kiya jaata hai. Aur jab bhi koi chori ki reprot aati thi lagbhag tabhi Tanvi ke paas paisa dikhta tha baaki time wo udhar pe chalti thi.

HM - Phir pakda kaise aapne use?

AJ - Pehle usse observe karna shuru kiya maine. Baaki time lagbhag same schedule aur chori ki report aane se do teen din pehle thoda extra time bahar rehana.

HM - Planning karti thi to iska matlab choti moti chori ya jeb katna jaise cheeze mushkil hi karti hogi.

AJ - Exactly. Wo usually chote gharon me chori karti thi jahan logo ke paas bank locker to nahi hota lekin ek do gold ki cheez jarur hoti hain.

KS - Lekin isse use jyada gharon me chori karni padti hogi aur saman kam milta hoga.

HM - Haan lekin ek to usse planning kam karni padegi aur middle class log apne jwellery usually bank me ya ghar ke safe me rakhte hain jise todne ke liye time chahiye aur thoda upper middle class ki taraf move kare to mostly logo ke yahan cctv camera hote hain ya aas paas ki buildings me. 

AV - Choti jagah pe chori aasani se bhi ho jaati hai aur jyada planning bhi nahi cahihiye. Same paatern jo abhi bhi dikh raha hai.

AJ - Anyways, humne usse ek raat ko follow kiya tha aur turns out ki mera shak sahi tha. Choriyan wahi kar rahi tha. Main aur humare batch me ek aur officer, hum dono wahan usse pakda aur phir ssedha academy le gaye jahan baaki cases se bhi uska connection saaf ho gya.

AV - Phir to saaf hai ki wo inke peeche padi hai. Lekin ye wardi ka kya angle hai? Ispe thodi roshani daalna chaengi?

AJ - I think academy me humari conversations me maine humesha usse yahi kaha hai ki wardi ki izzat karni chahiye. Now that I think about it, wo humesha yahi keh ti thi ki me usse lecture deti rehti hu and that Wardi ka as such koi importance nahi hota.

[In between these theories, Saurabh chipped in]

Saurabh - Haan aur jab wo ye sab plant kar rahi thi tab bhi wo yahi keh rahi thi ke wardi asli hogi tab usse aihsaas hoga.

AV - Bas itna hi? Aapne hero banne ke liye use pakdwa diya aur ab wo revenge le rahi hai? Ya aur bhi kuch hai jo ab bhi aaplog chupa rahe hain?

[AV glared at Saurabh and AJ reminding them of their lies]

Saurabh - Sir me sach keh raha hun Haseena Madam ko marwane ka koi plan nahi tha uska.

AV - Bilkul. Jaise aapne aaj tak sach ke siva aur kuch nahi kaha.

AJ - Dekho Amar mujhe pata hai ki tum hum logo pe abhi bharosa nahi kar rahe lekin it is true. Haseena Malik pe actual koi attack nahi hone waala tha.

AV - Seriously? Tum logo ko lagta hai ki ye well wisher ki acting karke sab sahi ho jayega?

[When AJ knew that AV won't listen to a word of what she had to say, she turned to HM]

AJ - Dekho Haseena you have to trust me on this one.

[AV didn't respond as AJ thought he would.]

HM - Nahi Aarushi. Agar tum sach me ye soch rahi ho ki tum yahan isliye ho kyuki hum tumpe bharosa karte hain to ye galat hai. Tum yahan sirf isliye ho kyuki iss case me tumhara involvement hai. 

[Although AV didn't said a thing he looked as if he was proud of HM for saying that]

AJ - I know that Haseena -

[HM cut AJ and continued]

HM - Tumhe agar ye envelope aur iss planning ke baare me pata tha to hume inform kyu nahi kiya?

AJ - Kyuki it was irrelevant.

HM - That's just an excuse.

AJ - Nahi. Waise hume ye nahi pata tha ki tumhara connection kya hai ya us envelope me kya hoga lekin haan ye pata tha ki jiske saath Saurabh ki boss ne pact kiya hai usne tumhe marwane ke order diye hain lekin Saurabh ki boss aisa karegi nahi.

AV - Aur itna sure kaise hain aap?

*******

Don't kill me! Here's an update...

And here's a question,

How's Christmas going for you?
