Madam Sirr 2

Chapter 2

The Mystery Unravels

Haseena left home to the station, her mind still reeling with the events of last night. She had to play at great expense to hide her thoughts from her mother.

Who was this mystery person? It must be connected to the case.

Just as she arrived at the station, the Commissioner called her for a special meeting. She informed Ajay to let KS know and left.

Early the next morning Karishma Singh reported at the HQ to meet Haseena and discuss about the case as well. However, Haseena had been called away to a meeting with the Commissioner so Karishma decided to wait inside the cabin.

She looked around the cabin eyeing the photos of MPT, especially the photo she herself had given to Haseena during a special occasion. It brought a smile to her face, a smile that was rarely seen now that she missed her SHO Haseena at their station.

Karishma sat down uncertain on how long she'll have to wait for Haseena. Just then her phone rang. Pushpa Ji. She scowled.

""Kya tumne madam sir se mulaqat ki?"?" she asked.

"Nahi, abhi nahi. Woh kisi zaroori kaam ke liye Commissioner se milne gayi hain. Suno, station ka kya haal hai? Koi naye cases?"

"Abhi kuch nahi, lekin main yahan hoon, chinta mat karo. Main sambhal loongi."

"Theek hai, theek hai

"Jai Hind, madam."

Karishma got up and walked around the room taking long strides. She constantly looked at her watch muttering under her breath.

Haseena Malik entered the cabin and saw Karishma pacing all around, looking flustered and impatient. She smiled. She knew that Karishma had little patience.

"Aare Karishma Singh", she called out as she entered.

Karishma turned swiftly startled by her sudden appearance.

"J..Jai...Hind, madam", she quickly saluted and made space for Haseena to sit in her chair.

"Sorry Karishma Singh, Main Commissioner Sir ke saath ek zaroori meeting mein thi."

"Ji madam. Theek hai."

"Please, baith jao."

Karishma sat down, still straight and rigid in her composure. She was anxious though she didn't really understand the reason behind it. She handed Haseena a file.

"Madam, yeh report hai jo aapne maangi thi."

"Oh, thank you KS. Please baith jao aur baat karte hain."

Haseena sat down to open the file yet her thoughts were all around. She kept avoiding eye contact with KS and continuously peeked at her phone.

"Madam Sir, aap theek hain? Aap pareshan lag rahi hain?"

"Haan, KS. Main theek hoon. Main bas kuch soch rahi hoon."

"Kya hua, madam?"

Haseena stared at her for a while and decided to tell her. She took her phone and showed her the message that she received last night. Time crawled to a halt and KS read the message. She immediately got up and threw her hands up. Her face was scrunched up in anger, a little ball of fire waiting to explode.

"Yeh paagal aadmi kaun hai jo tumhe dhamki dene ki koshish kar raha hai? Main vaada karti hoon, madam sir, agar main usse dhoondh leti hoon, toh uska ant ho jayega."

Haseena almost laughed but somehow controlled herself.

"KS, please apne aapko sambhalo. Main hamesha kehti hoon ki tumhe apne gusse mein nahi behakna chahiye. Kripya baith jao."
