Our Defeat!

IPS Aly Mary

Here, Karishma was sitting in the middle of a gigantic hall, beside her was her best friend Haseena Malik who specially took a leave to be beside her darling sister in law during one of the biggest events of her life.

Haseena glanced at Karishma once and then at the empty hall as she said - karishma singh apko nahi lagta, hum bahut jaldi aage?

Which took Karishma out of her thoughts as she swiftly snaped her eyes back at her - nahi maddam sir..

Nahi? Haseena questioned back.
Haan, nahi, vo haseena darasal, hum... Hum washroom jakar aate hai. Saying this she escaped that place in a hurry before haseena could say something else.

Whereas, Haseena smiled thinking - Karishma Singh bhi nah, jante hai ab unse Aly ji ke bina ek second raha nahi jaa raha. Isme itna sharmane ki kya baat thi.
Then her eyes fell on her phone which was ringing with the name Ammi written on it and then she caught consumed in it.

This side Karishma came out of the hall to an adjoining balcony to take some fresh air as she peeped at the sky with big hopes in her heart.

KARISHMA'S POV
Maddam sir apko sach mai aisa lagta hai ki hum jaldi aayege?
Nahi maddam sir hume bahut der hogyi hai hume... Hum bahut durr hoge hai sabse, humare Aly se.. Itna ki ab hume unke sath hone ka ehsas bhi kahi na kahi khatam hogya hai. She thought and grinned at herself.

By the time she was thinking this, a herd of horses marched towards the memorial entrance and the sound of clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop grabbed Karishma's attention. As she diverted her attention towards the main entrance.

Where numerous horses were standing in a strict pattern and many horse back riders were confidently caressing the hairy heads of their horses as they reached their final destination, THE PARADE without any delays.

Until the six feeted man de-climbed his horse in full dignity and honour and rubbed his back with contentment.
"Good job jockey !" He said to his horse.
And then commanded his cadre which everyone followed in full coordination.

Here, Karishma carefully heard that voice which kept ringing in her head not one or twice but many time. Until finally she realised why that cold voice gives thrills to her half deaf ears.

Because that person was.... ALY as Karishma comprehended this, her lips mumbled his name in pure joy while her eyes teared ...

Once these words said by her reached her ears, she rejoiced and pinched her skin multiple times just to believe whatever she was seeing to be actually true, not her random daydream.

By now, Karishma was just glancing at Aly such that she felt that their was only one person on this earth. Who was shouting so loudly that his head veins could pop out anytime.

She carefully watched at his chiselled face which was so serious and stern this time. His pride, his hairstyle was all gone their was only sheared sheep headed man in front of her and this thought made her laugh on her own.

Remembering how Aly use to make random excuses to never let her touch his hair or chop them off. But now this changed and grown up cleaned shaved man is all indifferent today.

But this was definitely true, Today a different form of Aly was standing right in front of her at the entrance of the hall, leading his cadet with his own professional aura which she has never seen before.

By the time Karishma came out of all of these thoughts, Aly and his cadet had disappeared from the entrance.
Which shooked her core as she shouted to herself - ab hum aur wait nahi kar sakte hume Aly se milna hoga...Saying this she ran away from that place.
