Lucknow
Mahila Police Thana, Janpad Lucknow was decorated, everyone was waiting for the new SHO, who was transferred there.
A boy was garlanding flowers, while another girl was helping him.
"Dekhna Santu ji, ek din humara bhi ghar aise hi sajega, jab aap shadi karke aayengi." He said shyly.
"Cheeteh! Meri shadi hogi to tera ghar kyun sajega?" Santosh asked.
Another man who was passing by laughed.
"Ee, popla danav, hansna band kar varna bache khuche dant bhi tod denge, samjha." Cheetah chided.
"Nithale, tu bas mujh par gussa nikal sakta hai, himmat hai to teri Santu ji ko bol ke dikha." Billu, who was their permanent prisoner, said.
"Bol denge, par uske liye sahi samay to aane de." Cheetah said looking at Santosh who was now busy in another work.
"Sahi samay ke chakkar mein uske bachhon ka mama ban jayega."
"Tu apna kaam kar na re."
"Tum dono apna kaam karo," A (abhi abhi paida hui) lady's voice came from behind," hey Shivji! Bas ek kripa karna, jo nayi SHO aa rahi hain na woh bas thodi shant swabhav ki hon, Karishma ji ki tarah kholta hua jwalamukhi na ho."
"Pushpa ji, bolne se pehle aas paas dekh to liya kijiye, kahin aisa na ho ki us jwalamukhi ka lava aapko hi shikar bana le." Karishma Singh came from behind.
"He he he." Pushpa ji laughed," Hum to bas kah rahe the ki nayi SHO thodi shant dimag ki hon."
"Sab samajhte hain, Pushpa ji hum, bahut dino se aapki line hazir nahi hui na isliye thodi khujli ho rahi hai aapko."
"Bas yahi aata hai aapko, senior hone ka rob jhadhna."
"Pushpa ji, aapka to pata nahi lekin humare paas timepass karne ka time nahi hai." Karishma said," Aap yeh bataiye ki swagat ki sari taiyari ho gayi."
"Haan, sab ho gaya, chokhat ki sajawat kar di hai, cabin ekdam saaf karva diya hai, aur billu ko bola hai, guldasta lane ke liye abhi tak to aa gaya hoga." Pushpa ji told.
"Thik hai hum dekhte hain." Saying this Karishma went to billu," Bille, guldasta le aaye?"
Billu bit his tongue," Bhool gaya.''
"To tum gaye kis liye the?"
"Gaya to iske liye hi tha, magar bhool gaya." Billu said nervously.
"Aisi hi harkaten rahi na to ek din billu niwas bhi bhool jana."
"Main abhi la deta hun."
"Rahne do, hum le aayenge." Karishma started her bike and went to market.

"Ji abbu, hum bas thane pahunch hi rahe hain......kya abbu ab hum bachhe thodi hi hain.....achha thik hai, aap ammi ko bata dijiyega....rakhte hain."
She cut the call, and rested her head on seat. By looking at her face, it seems like she was tired more mentally then physically. She looked at her phone to check is there any reply of her message, "Hum mil sakte hain kya, aapki bahut yaad aa rahi hai."
And the person replied," Aaj nahi mil sakte bahut busy hain."
"Koi itna kaise badal sakta hai, hume yakeen nahi hota ki aap wohi shakhs hain jinhe humare didar ke bina chain nahi milta tha, woh aaj milna bhi nahi chahte. Agar hum shikayat kare to hamesha ki tarah wohi bahana, aapko to pata hai police ki nokri kitni bhagdod wali hoti hai, jaise hum to police mein hain hi nahi." Haseena wiped her tears. She took the water bottle and gulped down half of it to calm herself as she didn't want that her new colleagues see her like this.
