Anubhav and Hassena maintained the silence which were killing them from inside. Hassena decided to break the silence.
Hassena: sir, ek baat puchu? Agar aap bura na mane to.
Anubhav: ha puchiye.
Hassena: sir jab voh Chitti Cheeta na padhi to aap kuch pareshan ho gaye the. Hamne aur Karishma Singh dono ne ye baat notice ki hai. Bataiye na sir, kya thi voh baat. Aap hampe trust kar sakte hai.
Anubhav ( smiles sadly ): aapar Trust kar sakte hai? Lekin iska kya faida Hassena Mallik?
Hassena ( confused ): ji? Ham kuch samjhe nahi.
Anubhav: rehne dejiye iss baat ka koi matlab nahi hai hamare liye.
Hassena: nahi sir, aapko hame ye batana hi hoga ki kya baat hai. Mission Jeet ke vakt to aapne desh ke liye voh baat hame nahi batayi, lekin iss vakt hame pata hai aaisi koi baat nahi hai.
Anubhav: Hassena ji, jis ki chinta hame hai, voh hai jo hame apne Desh ke baad sabse jyada pyaari hai. Yadi unhe kuch ho jata hain.... toh adhe toh pehle hi maar chuke hai, purn roop se keval ek mrit deha ban jayenge.....
Before he could speak further Hassena places her hand on his mouth to stop him from speaking anything further. But later realises their position and withdraw her hand from his mouth and maintained a proper distance between them.
Hassena ( embarassed ): sorry sir, voh ham...
Anubhav ( in cracking voice ): koi baat nahi Hassena ji, isme apki koi galti nahi hai. Lekin mujhe afsos to iss baat ka hai ki hamne aapko iss had tak dukhaya hai ki aap ek history cheater par bharosa kar sakti hai, lekin hamare upar Bharosa nahi kar Sakti.
Hassena looked at him instantly and he gulped to avoid any outburst infront of her. Hassena studied his face as he spoke further.
Anubhav: lekin hame samaj me nahi aa raha ki aap hamara gussa Karishma Singh pe kyu nikal rahi hai?
Hassena couldn't believe her ears.
Hassena ( Angrily ): sir, ye aap kya keh rahe hai? Hame aapse aaisi ummed nahi thi. Aap hamare bare mein aisa sochte hai? Aap soch bhi kaise sakte hai ki hum aaisa karenge.
Anubhav: toh voh kya tha jo hamne industry mein dekha tha?
Hassena: sir, unhone jo kiya uske baad hum kaise upar Bharosa kar sakte hai?
Hassena said and realised what she said. She was cursing herself for speaking those words.
Anubhav: kya keh rehi hai aap?
Hassena: kuch nahi?
Anubhav: nahi batayiye Hassena Mallik, aapko aapke Ammi ki kasam.
Hassena was in a serious dilemma.
Hassena ( in one breadth ): sir, aap uss Qayamat ke bare mein jaante hi honge. Voh aur koi nahi Karishma Singh hai?
Listening to this, the earth under her feet slipped. He couldn't believe his ears. His heart was indicating not to believe her but his brain was telling him that Hassena will never lie to him.
He lost his balance and took the support of the table.
Hassena ( concerned ): sir, aap thik toh hai?
Anubhav: ham thik hai Hassena Mallik ham chalte hai!
He turned to leave but turned and said,
Anubhav: vaise Hassena Mallik, aapka bharosa tuta nahi hai. Vikas ki lash Mili hai aaj ek dusri team ko. Industry se nikalne ke baad hame phone aya tha. Uska phone gayab tha, lagta hai kisi ne uska phone chinkar Karishma Singh ko phone kiya tha. Aur ek aur baat, hame maaf kar dijiye.
He left and Hassena collapsed in her chair tears flowing through her eyes.
*********************
At evening, IG sir called Hassena and Karishma and Cheeta to Headquarters.
IG: Hassena Mallik, aapke team members ke laparvahi ke karan aaj ek aaisa insan mara gaya jiske through haam pure giroh tak pohach sakte the. Department ko jo loss hua hai, voh kaise bharenge aap log?
Hassena: dekhiye sir, jo bhi hua hai isme Karishma Singh ki koi galti nahi hai. Hame lagta hai ki ye saab pehle se hi pre-planned tha. Isiliye hamare khabri ki lash Mili hai, aur jis number se Karishma Singh ko voh call aya tha voh bhi uska hi number tha. Hame lagta hai hai kisine hamre team ko phasane ke liye ye saab kiya.
IG: iska koi saboot hai aapke paas?
Hassena: yes sir, yeh Chitti ( forwarding the evidence bag to him ) yeh hame Suraj ki jeb main se mili.
While reading the chit, IG's face expression changed.
Karishma: ka baat hai sir, aap kuch pareshan ho gaye?
IG: ek minute.
He rang the bell and the peon comes inside.
IG: Anubhav Singh ko bulaye.
Peon: par sir, voh toh commissioner sir ki permission lekar kab ke ghar chale gaye.
Hassena ( in mind ): aaj sir bohot pareshan hai. Hame aaj unse milna hi hoga.
IG: Hassena Mallik, haam iss ki investigation ke liye ek naye Investigation Officer ko appoint kar rahe hai. SHO Navin Kumar.
Hassena: lekin sir, ye aap kya keh rahe hai? Ye to aap hamare upar indirectly iljam lage rahe hai.
IG: Hassena Mallik, haam jaante hai ki aap bohot imandar officer hai lekin hame bhi department ko javab dena padta hai. Please try to understand.
Till then SHO Naveen Kumar entered.
Naveen: SHO Naveen Kumar reporting sir!
IG: aau Naveen. Inse milo yeh hai ( pointing towards Hassena ) SHO Hassena Mallik, ( pointing towards Karishma ) SI Karishma Singh aur ( pointing towards Cheeta ) Constable Cheeta Chaturvedi.
Naveen: hello.
He shakes hands with all of them.
IG: maine tumhe jis case ke bare main bataya uss case ki investigation main yeh sab aapki madad karenge.
Naveen: okay sir! ( To Hassena ) toh chale?
Cheeta: abhi?
Naveen: aapne voh kahavat toh suni hi hogi na, 'kal kare so aaj kar aaj kare so aab'. Toh usse ka palan karte hue, chaliye.
Hassena: ji!
They all left form Headquarters.
