Anubhav sits at his chair and motions them to sit too. Haseena somehow diverts her attention from Anubhav and sits on the chair.
Anu: Toh...hamne aap donon ko yahan kyun bulaya hai ye toh aap jaanti hi hongi. (face devoid of expression)
Karishma: Kaa, Uu Thaana ke band hone ke baare mein.....
Anu: Haan...bilkul sahi, bilkul sahi, toh Thaana band hone ke baad aap log kya karne ka soch rahi hain?
Karishma: Hamne toh soch liya hai Anu bhaiya...
Anu: Sir!
Karishma: Haan matlab Anu Sir, ki ham toh mast ek dum pahile aaram waraam farmaayenge uske baad kisi dusre Thaane mein application dekar try karenge, kyunki Thaana toh band hokar rahega.
Anu: (sighs, looks at Haseena) Aur aap...
Haseena: (startled) Hmm....umm, haan, Sir, Thaana band nahi hoga...
Anu: Aur ye aap itne bharose ke saath kaise keh sakti hain?
Haseena: Tajurba kehta hai hamara Sir, "Manzil unko hi milti hai, jinke sapnon mein jaan hoti hai.....pankhon se kuch nahi hota honslon se udaan hoti hai." Koshish karne se pehle hi haar maan lene kaayaron ki nishaani hoti hai, jo ki ham nahi hain.
Anu: (impressed by her confidence) Toh aapne kuch socha toh hoga apne Thaane ko bachane ke vishay mein, kya socha hai?
Haseena: Hmm...kuch socha toh hai hamne Sir, dekhte hain, ham kamyaab ho paate hain ya nahi (smiles)
Anubhav smiles too. He was very impressed by the confidence of this lady police officer. He didn't want to show it on his face so he covered his smile instantly with a taunt.
Anu: Hmm..toh Karishma Singh, kuch seekhein apni senior se...
Karishma: Ji, Sir! Ab ham chalein, ki koi aur kaam hai aapko?
Anu: Nahi nikaliye aap log, ham bass dekhna chahte the ki aapke Thaane mein jo nayi Thaana Prabhari niyukt hui hain, woh kaisi hain, dekh liya...
Karishma: Nahi, kaa dekh liya? Matlab...kaisi hain?
Anu: (looking at Haseena and smiling) Bahut achhi hain....
Haseena didn't know why she blushed at his compliment. Karishma Singh saluted Anubhav and came out. Haseena was too going out when Anubhav stopped her.
Haseena: Jai Hind Sir!
Anu: Jai Hind...Umm Miss Malik,
Haseena: (turns around to face him hearing his voice) Ji? (looks at him questioningly)
Anu: Hamara number apne phone mein save kar leejiye, taaki agli baar aapko hamara call prank call na lage (smiles)
Haseena: (red from embarrassment) Umm...I am so sorry Sir, woh aise achanak se phone aaya aur 'Headquarters aa jaao' aisa order aaya toh ham....ham..
Anu: Shaant Miss Malik, shaant, isiliye toh bol rahe hain, hamara number apne phone mein save kar leejiye...aur save karne ke baad hamein message bhejiyega, 'Hi...This is Haseena Malik.' Itna kar sakti hain aap? (smiles mischievously)
Haseena: Umm...ji toh aapka number.
Anu: Hamein nahi pata, aap kahin se khojiye...ham apna number aapko kyun dein, aakhir (coming towards her and standing in front of Haseena with his hand taking support of the table) Ham Aapke Hain Kaun? (smiled inquisitively)
Haseena's face grows crimson as she realizes their proximity. They were surely very close. The fact she was hating was that she was enjoying this closeness. She shouldn't. It's just an attraction which will fade away in a couple of days.
She smiled nervously, saluted him and went away. Her heart wouldn't stop beating fast. She returned to Thaana. She had a very important case in her hand, "Saving the Thaana".
Karishma: Haan...toh boliye Maddam Sir, kaa karna hai? Bass 3 din bache hain.....30 din mein aisa kaun sa....
Haseena: 30 din hain hamare paas Karishma Singh aur 30 din bahut hote hain. (looking aroun the thaana) Iss bejaan murde mein ab jaan phuki jaayegi aur ye kaam aap log karenge. 24 ghante hain aap logon ke paas. Kaise karenge, kya karenge I don't care, lekin in 24 ghanton ke andar andar hamein iss khaali F.I.R register mein kam se kam ek F.I.R chahiye...Aur agar aap log aisa nahi kar paaye, toh yakeen maaniye aapki senior hone ke naate, aap sab ko suspend kar denge. (looking at Karishma) Inspector Karishma Singh, itihaas likhne ke liye waqt ki nahi, jazbaat ki zarurat hoti hai..woh paida keejiye, itihaas apne aap ban jaate hain. Good luck.
This order of Haseena shook the MPT staff to the core. They didn't know what to do. Their job was at stake. But, they vowed to do as they were told, well, ordered. They tried hard to make women register cases in their Police Station. Every one tried their own ways to follow the order. They had first thought that Haseena would be a very strict senior, like Karishma, but she was nothing like her. She did order them and it was something harsh, but eventually they understood that she did this for the well being of the Thaana. They went about the task and finally managed to take one case in. They registered the case and with their wit and wisdom solved it too. They were very happy as the order was passed of their Thaana 'not' getting closed.
But, Haseena still had one task in her hands. She had to solve that too. She had to get Anubhav's number and message him. She went to ask Karishma Singh about it.
Haseena: Karishma Singh woh..
Karishma: Jai Hind Maddam Sir.
Haseena: Hmm...Jai Hind, lekin aap hamari ek madad kar sakti hain?
Karishma: Ji, boliye na Maddam Sir.
Haseena: Hamein D.S.P Sir ka number chahiye tha.
After a lot of hesitation, she finally spoke it out. She was not sure about how that sounded.
Karishma: Kaa? Aapko Anu bhaiya ka number kyun chahiye?
Haseena: Woh...ek minute, aap unhe bhaiya kyun bulati hain, woh aapke bhaiya lagte hain?
Karishma: Lagte hain? Woh hamare bhaiya hi hain...hamare chachere bhai. Anu bhaiya.
Haseena was dumbfounded for the second time in the day. This whole family worked in a single city and surprisingly, all were Police Officers. She mentally smiled at the fact.
Karishma: Lekin aap unke number ka kaa karengi?
Haseena: Woh...ham, ham...woh hamare senior hain Karishma Singh, sau tarah ke kaam rehte hain, toh unke number ki zarurat rahegi, taaki woh hamare, i mean, ham sabke contact mein rahein.
Karishma smiles nervously at Haseena not sure what to do.
Karishma: Nahi...aapki mansha toh theek hai Maddam Sir, lekin maaf kariyega, bhaiya ne hamein sakht mana kar rakha hai, unka number kisi ko bhi dene se...toh isiliye...
Haseena: Umm..nahi koi baat nahi, it's okk...ham cabin mein hain...
Karishma: Ji, Jai Hind Maddam Sir.
Haseena smiled and nodded and went inside her cabin. She wasn't sure how to get his number when suddenly an idea clicked her brain. She called Santosh inside her cabin.
Santosh: Jai Hind Maddam Sir, aapne mujhe bulaya?
Haseena: Ji woh....kal subah 10 baje se 10:15 ke beech mein jitne bhi calls aaye hain, kya aap unke records hamein de sakti hain...
Santosh: Maddam Sir, aisa bhi koi khaas call nahi aaya hai mujhe, matlab sirf ek do 'credit card le lengi Ma'am' usse related bass...
Haseena: Santosh Sharma, ham Thaana mein jo telephone hai, uspe aaye hue calls ki baat karr rahe hain.
Santosh nods and within minutes comes back to her with a list. The list had 3 telephone numbers. She saluted Haseena and went. Haseena tried calling each and every number on the list.
Man: Hello....ji aap kaun?
Haseena cut the call, not recognizing that voice. She was sure it was not him. She tried the second number.
Woman: Ji, kaun bol raha hai?
Haseena cut the call as it was a female, finally she came across the last number and dialed it.
Anu: (husky voice) Hello...
She immediately cut the call biting her lip. She wasn't understanding why she was behaving the way she was. She recognized his voice just with one word. This was the effect he had on him, since she met him.
She saved the number in her phone as D.S.P Sir. She messaged him all the while blushing.
Hello...This is Haseena Malik.

Anu: Kya? Amma ye aap kya keh rahi hain? Ye sach hai kya? (eyeing the reports worriedly)
Amma: Haan beta, ye sach hai, lekin tu zyada kuch soch mat, sab theek hai.
Anu: Kya na sochein Amma? Aap 6 mahinon mein hamse dur... (a tear escaped his eyes as he turned his back to his mother)
Amma: (Coming front and placing her hand on his shoulder) Beta, aise roo mat, mera Anu kitna bahadur hai, hai na?
Anu: Aapke bina ham kuch nahi hain Amma (turning around and hugging her)
Amma: (breaking the hug) Accha meri ek aakhiri iccha maanega?
Anu: Aisi mat kahiye Amma, kya aakhiri waakhiri, aap kahin nahi jaayengi, ham sabse achhe doctors ko appoint karenge aapke liye.
Amma: Beta, maut se ladna aur usse dur bhaagna donon alag baatein hain. Abhi jo tu karne ki koshish karr raha hai woh meri maut se bhaag raha hai tu, (Anubhav opened his mouth to say something but Amma silenced him with her hand) dil pe pathhar rakh ke ye sab sun le beta....Aur meri ek khwahish puri kar de.
Anu: (looking at his mom sadly) Kya Amma? Kaisi khwahish, aap kahein toh aapki jaan ke badle mein apni jaan de dein....kyunki aapko kuch ho gaya toh ham waise bhi marr jaayenge.
Amma: Shuh! Waisa kuch karne ki zarurat nahi hai (wiping her tears) Pote potiyon ka nahi, toh kam se kam mujhe meri bahu ki shakl dikha de.
Anu: Amma...ham shaadi.. (annoyed)
Amma: Nahi, please beta, aaj mana mat kar, teri Amma ke liye itna nahi kar sakta.
Anu: Amma aapke liye toh kuch bhi kar sakte hain...kuch bhi.
Amma: Toh bass main chahti hun, mera Anu jeete jee, shaadi kar le....karega itna? Apni bhudhi Amma ke liye?
Anu: Amma, aap koi bhudhi whudhi nahi hain(suddenly faking anger).....aap abhi bhi bahut young hain.....
Amma: Koi ladki hai tere dhyaan mein? Ki main dhundhun?
Anubhav picked up his phone and saw a message from an unknown number. He clicked on it and read the message.
Hello...This is Haseena Malik.
~Haseena
He smiled seeing the message. A dark smile, a smile which made girls fall for him within a second. A smile, which won the heart of thousands of girls.
Amma: Bol na, ladki mili?
Anu: (smiles, lost seeing the message) Haan Amma....mil gayi hai.
***************
Haseena was looking at her phone. She was anticipating a message from him from past 1 hour. She looked at her phone every now and then. This was the first time she was waiting for a boy's message. Before this, she just didn't care. What was up with her? Was she falling for him? But, it had merely been few hours since she saw him, love can't happen this much fast, can it?
*Precap: Amma at Haseena's house.
