Haseena was sipping her coffee while reading her favourite novel as it was her holiday today. She was badly missing him..his sweet flirts and his warm hugs. Holiday made it more worse as there was nothing to keep herself busy. Her phone rang, breaking her thought chain.
"Bolo Santu"
"Maddam Sir, aap aaj raat cake ka intezaam kar dengi kya please? Woh, Cheete ka birthday haina, aur meri toh duty hai aaj late night, toh mai nahi ja paungi"
"Bilkul bilkul Santosh, tum fiqr mat karo..hum le ayenge cake. Waise, uski bhi night duty hogi na? Hum constable appoint kar denge aaj ke liye..tum ghar le jana usse.."
"Okay Maddam sir, thankyou! Bye!!", Santu said chirpily and cut the call. Haseena smiled and put back her phone on desk. Santosh liked Cheetah..and everyone except her could see it crystal clear.
12 AM, Cheetah's home.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Cheete!", everyone exclaimed, surprising Cheetah who was happy and emotional seeing the decorations and his MPT family..
CC- Dhanyawaad aap sabka..aapke rehte hamein hamara maa bauji ki yaad hi nahi aati..(emotional and happy)
SS- bas bas..ab senti mat ho..jaldi se wish maang aur cake cut kar(smiled)
Cheetah nodded and made a wish...everyone clapped as he cut the cake. He was hesitating as the one whom first bite he wanted to offer to was obviously Santosh. She smiled and blushed a little sensing that awkwardness.
PS- arre jaldi khila do Santu ko hi..humein tumhe bhi toh khilana hai!(she purposely made the urgency..giving him the reason to feed her)
CC- uh- Santu ji..(he forwarded the cake)
She smiled and ate from his hand..making him live his dream for real. He blushed like a teenager as she fed him and applied some cream on his nose. MPT smiled seeing them..there was always a spark between the two.
Cheetah fed others..
CC- MS, Anubhav Sir kab aa rahe hain?
HM- pata nahi Cheetah..ek mahina toh hone wala hai..aa jayenge..(smiled softly)
CC- chaliye tab tak aap ham sabke sath enjoy kar lijiye(Haseena nodded with a smile)
SS- Cheete! Idhar aa jaldi!(Santosh called)
He went near her..she turned her laptop towards him..it was his maa-bauji..he looled at Santu emotionally..
SS- baat kar!(smiled)
Cheetah sat on his chair..
CC- pranaam maa, pranaam bauji..
Ma- hamesa khus raho bete..(teary eyed)
Bauji- arre bhagyawaan..aapka beta wahan desh ki seva kar raha hai aur aap tankiyan baha rahi hain? Aapko toh garv hona chahiye uspar!(proud smile)
Ma- par har saal hamara baccha hamare hatho se halwa khata tha apne janmdin par..ab kaun khilayega usse?(sobbed)
CC- Amma, aap kahe itna emotional ho rahi hain? Hum aa jayenge chhutti lagte hi..aap apne laadle ke janmdin par aise rokar wish karengi?
Ma- naahi naahi..(wiped her tears)..janmdin ki bahut bahut badhai, Bittu..(smilingly)
CC- Dhanyawaad Amma..aashirwaad dijiye bas aap..(smiled)
Bauji- Janmdin ki badhai bete, hum dono ka aashirwaad toh hamesha hai tumhare sath..bas ab ek hi khwaish hai..
CC- ka bauji? Paise chahiye ka?
Bauji- naahi..ab hum.itne gaye guzre nahi ki apne bete se paise maange..
CC- haq hai aapka, bauji(smiled)
Bauji smiled- haq hai isiliye nahi maangte..haq ka durupyog nahi karte hum..(smiled)
CC- toh kya khwaish hai aapki?(confused)
Bauji- arre tumhara vivah..aur kya? Pucho na usse, arre..kya naam tha uska..
Ma- Santu!(she said from behind)
Santosh threw the sprite she was drinking..and Cheetah grew hell nervous..everyone laighed silently..
CC- aa...Bauji..uu hamari dost hain sirf..
Ma came on screen..
Ma- kya bol raha hai? Tu toh pasand karta haina usse? Parso hi toh bataya tha tune mujhe!(confused as she did not know everyone was listening)
Santosh looked at Cheetah blankly..
CC- A..maa hum baat mein baat karte hain..shubh ratri..(shut the flap of laptop)
Ma- Arre! Sharma gaya shayad..(smiled)
HM- Santu, tum theek ho?
SS- haan? Ji..ji Maddam Sir..(looking here and there)
KS- dekho hum sab jaante hain ki Cheetah tumko dost se adhik maanta hai..tum batao..agar tum nahi chahogi toh hum aashvasan dete hain..sab waisa hi rahega..
Santosh turned towards Cheetah..who was looking down..
SS- tujhe kuch nahi kehna?
CC- ka kahen Santuji..sab sach toh aap jaan chuki hain..hum nahi chahte the ki aapko sach aise pata chale..par ab pata chal chuka hai toh..aapka jawaab kya hai?
SS- m..mujhe thoda time chahiye..(looked away)
CC- hum samajhte hain..par hum dost toh haina?
SS- hmm..(smiled)
Everyone smiled..they finished up the cake together and were set to go back home..
KS- MS..hum chhod dein aapko? Itni raat ko kahan auto milegi? Aapka jeep repairing ko gaya haina..
HM- arre nahi Karishma hum chale jayenge..
KS- 1 baj rahe hain MS..aap chaliye hamare sath hum kuch nahi sunenge..
HM- Karishma..baat samajhiye..dekhiye Pushpaji ko..kitni neend aa rahi hai unhe..(KS saw PS was roaming with half open eyes)..aur Santu toh quarters mein hi hai..pahuch bhi gayi hogi..aap dono jaiye trust me hum manage kar lenge..(smiled)
KS- Haseena..(helplessly) accha hum Amma ko chhod kar aate hain aur phone karte hain aapko..agar tabtak saadhan nahi mila toh hum hi aakar chhodenge apko hm?
HM- theek hai baba..jaiye ab!
Karishma smiled and left with Pushpaji..Haseena was looking around for an empty auto..but the street was deserted. Finally, Haseena spotted a bike coming towards her. She signalled for a lift..the man stopped the bike.
Man- ji madam?
HM- woh...aap humein gol chowk(fictional) tak chhod denge? Actually yahan auto nahi mil raha..
Man- toh ola kijiye na..
HM- hum kar lete par phone ki battery kafi kam hai hamare..isiliye avoid kar rahe hain..
Man- hmm..par humein kya milega?
HM- kya matlab?(angrily)
Man- matlab aap itni Haseen hain..thoda toh fayda hona chahiye na apko ghar pahuchane ka?
HM- bhaisahab, aapko bata dein ki hum Police vibhag mein hain aur Mahila Police Thane ki SHO hain..andar kardenge abhi issi waqt..ab lift deni hai toh dijiye warna nikaliye(angrily)
Man- bhaisahab mat kahiye Haseenaji!(he frowned, taking out his helmet..shocking Haseena)
HM- Anubhav aap?!(shocked+surprised)
AS- ji..ek ghante pehle aaye..Ammi soo rahi thi isiliye seedhe apki balcony mein ghuse the..par aap wahan mili nahi..Cheetah se pata chala ki aap yaha hain(smiled)
Haseena turned back and found Cheetah smiling at the door..he gave a 👍 to Anubhav and went inside.
HM- yeh kya mazak tha Anubhav?(grumpily)
AS- humein toh aur karna tha..par aapne bhaisahab keh diya aur hum seh nahi paye(frowned)
Haseena laughed..he smiled in peace seeing her laugh after so long..
AS- ab gale nahi milengi? Aapke priyatam aaye hain..(spreading his arms)
Haseena smiled and hugged him tightly..disbalancing his bike a little🤭 She sat behind him..
AS- Ghar jaana hai?
HM- tch..(denying and leaning on his back)..long drive!
Anubhav smiled and speeded the bike up...✨
