Haseena sobbed, her heart aching with guilt and regret. “Ammi, humne maaf kariye… maine aapse jhoot bol diya aur iss jhoot ka bojh aap aur baaki logon par bhi kitna bhaari padega. Humne maaf keejiye, Ammi,” she whispered, the weight of her words sinking into the silence around them.
Ammi held Haseena close, her tears mixing with her daughter’s. Stroking her back gently, she asked, “Kya ye sab, Haseena? Kyun kiya ye sab?”
Taking a shuddering breath, Haseena began to tell her everything about the mission, the facade, the reasons behind her silence, and the danger that had forced her to hide her true self even from her ammi and team. As she spoke, the truth unraveled between them, heavy and raw, finally lifting the veil she had so painstakingly kept up.
Ammi’s eyes softened as she listened, a mix of pride and sorrow filling her expression. “Bilkul tum apne Abbu ki tarah ho,” she said, her voice steady yet laced with emotion“Tumhare Abbu bhi apne desh aur farz ke liye sab kuch karte the, apni jaan bhi qurban kar di”
She reached out, gently brushing Haseena's tears away. "Mujhe tum par garv hai, lekin yeh raasta asaan nahi hai, beta. Apno se door hokar apne farz ko nibhana bohot mushkil hota hai."
Haseena looked down, the weight of her mother’s words settling over her, feeling both comforted and more determined than ever.
Ammi’s voice trembled slightly as she continued, “Tumhare Abbu farz aur desh ke liye guzar gaye, beta, lekin tum apna matu natak karte hue apne logon ke saamne zinda laash ban ke ek-ek pal guzarti rahi ho. Aur ye mission tum par aur tumhare apno par bhi kitni bhaari hai, Haseena.”
She took Haseena’s hand, squeezing it gently. "Par yaad rakhna beta, tumhare paas hamara pyaar aur humari dua hamesha hain. Farz aur apno ke beech jo ladai tum lad rahi ho, usmein tum kabhi akeli nahi ho. Hum tumhare saath hain, chahe kuch bhi ho jaye."
Haseena nodded, feeling the warmth of her mother's support. She asked, "Par Ammi, aapko kaise aur kab pata chala ke hum Haseena hain?"
Ammi smiled gently and replied, "Beta, mujhe toh pehle din se hi shaque tha. Aur yaad hai, agle din maine tumhare liye shahi paneer banaya tha?
Haseena nodded her head and Ammi continue in sarcastic , “Agar us din maine tumse pucha, tum mante nahi aur S.H.O. madam ke liye sab kuch ko saboot chahiye tha, isiliye maine tumhara pasand ka khana banaya tha. Aur tum bhi waise hi react kiya jaise maine socha tha.”
Haseena nodded, taking in her mother’s words. "Par Ammi, mujhe laga tha ke hum apna natak achhe se kar rahe hain," she said softly, a hint of surprise in her voice.
Ammi chuckled lightly, "Beta, apni maa ko kab tak bewakoof banaogi? Tumhari aadatein, tumhara tarik ye sab kuch sirf tumhaari asli Ammi samajh sakti thi." She looked at Haseena with a knowing smile.
Haseena lowered her eyes, feeling a mix of relief and admiration for her mother's sharp intuition. She gave a small smile and said, "Par Ammi, please ye baat kisi ko mat batana. Ye mission bohot khatarnak hai"
Ammi placed a comforting hand on Haseena's shoulder, nodding in understanding. "Beta, ye raaz sirf humara hai. Kisi ko nahi pata chalega. Main tumhare saath hoon, chahe kuch bhi ho."
Haseena looked at her mother earnestly. "Ammi, ek aur baat, aap please Khala ke ghar kuch dino ke liye jaaye. Jab mission khatam ho jayegi, toh main aapko bata doongi. Aap yahan akeli ghar mein , aur iss waqt aapko yahan akeli ghar mein chorh kar jaana, humne sachi nahi laga."
Ammi nodded slowly, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Theek hai, beta. Jo tumhe sahi lagta hai , main kuch dino ke liye tumhare Khala ke paas rahungi. Par yaad rakhna, apna dhyaan aur apne logon ki bhi suraksha rakhna," she advised gently, her concern evident in her tone.
Haseena felt a surge of gratitude for her mother’s support. "Aapka saath hamesha mujhe himmat deta hai, Ammi," she replied, knowing that with her mother's love and intuition, she could face any challenge ahead.
Haseena and Ammi shared a moment of silent understanding, their bond stronger than ever in the face of uncertainty. Haseena took a deep breath, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. "Jab aap Khala ke ghar rahengi, main aapko har roz call karungi," she promised, wanting to keep her mother connected to her.
Ammi smiled softly, “Main intezaar karungi, beta aur main allah dua karegi ki tumhare saath sab kuch theek ho jayegi.”
“Ji, Ammi,” Haseena said, feeling a sense of relief washed over her. “Aapka pyaar aur duaen hamesha mere saath hain.”
As the evening wore on, they shared a simple yet comforting dinner, filled with laughter and stories that reminded them of happier times.As they settled into a cozy corner of the living room, the warmth of each other’s presence enveloping them like a protective shield
That night, as they lay down, Haseena nestled into her mother’s embrace, feeling a profound sense of safety. In that moment, she allowed herself to be her true self, free from the burdens of the mission and the facades she had worn. It was a rare moment of peace, where all that mattered was the love they shared, a love that would give her strength for the challenges ahead.
With her heart full, Haseena closed her eyes, feeling a deep sense of happiness washed over her. At least she had shared the truth with her Ammi, unburdening herself of the secrets that had weighed heavily on her heart.
In that moment of vulnerability, Haseena realized how vital it was to be honest with those she loved. The understanding that she would face whatever lay ahead with her , Ammi by her side filled her with an incredible sense of strength and reassurance.
As she drifted into sleep, a warmth enveloped her as a promise of unwavering support and love. No matter the challenges or dangers that awaited her, Haseena felt prepared to navigate through anything that came her way, fortified by the deep bond she shared with her Ammi. Their connection was a beacon of hope, guiding her through the uncertainties ahead, reminding her that she was never truly alone.
