Bringing You Back✔

Night Duty

Anubhav kept a pile of files on table. Haseena rolled her eyes at him. Its Almost a week after his return from mission, but he has no time for her or himself. She smiled as an idea clicked her to tease him.

HM- sir

AS- (engrossed in his work) ji?

HM- aapko nahi lagta aapko khuch samay apni 'priye' aur khud ke liye nikalna chahiye? (He raised his head at her. She giggled and continued) Nahi ye hum nahi aapki girlfriend keh rahi thi. Humare paas complain likhvaane aayi thi. Bichari bahout udaas thi.

AS- (closed his work for sometime) aur unki udaasi ki wajha?

HM- (Feigning sadness) aap.....waise toh usko khud choti si health problem hai jiska aap bahout ache se khayal rakhte hai but jab se aap vapis laute hai........sirf kaam na khudka khyaal rakhte hai aur na hi quality time spend karte hai uske saath.

AS- bahout hi gambhir samasya hai ye toh.....par aap zara humari 'priye' se kahiye abhi toh humara workload bahout adhik hai isliye ye haal hai.....varna hum unke saath bahout 'quality time' spend karte hai lekin vo hai ki....(Frowns sadly)

HM- kii?

AS- hum jabh bhi unke saath pyaar ke do bol bolte hai....ya romance karte ya toh unka durbhash baj jaata hai.....ya vo khud humme bhaga deti hai......bahout hi boring hai vo is maamle mein. (teasing)

HM- hum boring hai? (Angry)

AS- umhmm.....aap toh....(leans towards her) bahout hi haseen police adhikari hai (huskily) hum humari priye ki baat kar rahe hai.

Haseena hits his back of palm, in anger but he smiles and resumes his work.

HM- Anubhav aap na....

AS- Anubhav nahi 'sir' kahiye, SHO sahiba!

She rolls her eyes at him in anger, while he laughs seeing her irritated.

HM- zyada daat mat phadiye.....bahout haste hai aap hum par aaj kal. Itna chidana achi baat nahi hai kabhi aap pe bhari pad sakta hai 'sirrr'

AS- jab ka tab dekha jaiyega, Maddam Mallik.

HM- (murmurs) khadoos....

Both get engrossed in their respective works.

HM- ek baj rahe hai....khuch der araam kar lijye.

AS- haa bas 10 minute.

HM- hmm....aap yahi rahiye hum ek round marke aate hai....aapke 10 minute aadhe ghante ke barabar hai.

AS- (she was leaving but he held her wrist) bahout ache se jaanti hai aap humme...

HM- (dramatically) kya kare puri zindagi apne saath fasaliya aapne! (She releases herself from his grip and leaves)

After about 40 minutes she returns with 2 cups of strong coffee and finds him still working. He was pressing his forehead and looked exhausted. She tiptoes keeping coffee cups near window and snatches his pen from his hand.

HM- 10 ka 40 min ho gaye hai ab chup chap uth jaiye. (Glaring)

They both sit near window enjoying each other's presence with aromatic coffee and cool November night.

AS- aapko pata hai humme raat tak jaagne ki aadat bachpan se hi thi. Baba bhi aise ghar mein kaam lekar aa jaye they. Maa ko jaldi sone ki aadat thi par humme Baba ke saath waqt bitane ka man karta tha....toh unka ek fixed time tha ki ja bhi raat ka kaam ghar layenge toh 1 baje chai piyenge. Tab hum apni ghadi pe alarm lagakar sote the. Baba aur Maa dono daat te the par hum nahi maante they. Baba ek chai ka cup lekar aa jate they aur hum dono balcony me baith kar din bhar ki baate karte karte unke paas so jaate the. (He said with a smile)
