Because of the blast everyone was scattered everywhere. Hassena found Anubhav covering his face with his arms. Hassena shook Anubhav. Anubhav slowly uncovered his face. He was not so much injured; thankful to the god. Hassena was also safe.

Hassena: Aap thik haina?

Anubhav: Hum thik hai Hassena ji, aap thik hai?

Hassena: Ji hum bhi thik hai! ( Coughed due to gas ) Hume jald se jald sabko dhundna hoga, pata nahi yeh achanak blast kaise ho gaya?

Anubhav: Nalini aur Karishma?

Hassena: Chaliye dhunde unhe!

They both started finding others. Hassena found Karishma and Nalini. They both weren't much injured but Nalini's hand was badly bleeding. Anubhav turned conscious.

Anubhav ( holding Nalini's hand ): Yeh aapke haath ko kya hua Nalini?

Nalini: Goli chu kar nikal gayi, baas. Hum treatment le lenge toh thik... ( She was not able to complete as she felt a little dizzy )

Anubhav held her.

Anubhav: Sambhal kar, dekha jyada khoon behne ke karan chakkar aa gaya. Hum aapko abhi ke abhi haspatal bhej rahe hai.

Till then Medical team with Ambulance arrived.

Hassena: Dekhiye sir ( pointing towards Ambulance ) Medical team bhi aa gayi!

Anubhav: Chaliye!

Hassena ji aap aur Karishma Singh jakar baki sabhi ko dhundiye aur unka treatment kara dijiye. Hum Nalini ko dekhkar ate hai.

Hassena: Ji sir!

Karishma: Yeh Anu Bhaiya ne toh hamari taraf dekha bhi nahi. Sirf Unki sagi behen ki chinta hai unhe? ( She thought )

Anubhav and Nalini left for Nalini's treatment, Karishma was looking at them.

Hassena: Jaldi chaliye Karishma Singh!

Karishma ( coming out from thoughts ): Ha madammsir chaliye.

Hassena and Karishma found out Pushpa ji, Cheeta and Santosh. They were bit injured so they were sent for treatment. Some officers, who were serious were sent for emergency treatment in hospital. They found Ramesh and his men all dead. But, Hassena was concerned about Akash and Aarti.

Hassena found Akash and Aarti unconscious on the floor. She ran to them. Karishma saw her running to them and followed her.

Hassena: Aarti, Akash!

She immediately called out medical team and told them to take them for treatment.

Karishma: Aap itna chinta kahe kar rahi hai Maddamsir? Chaliye baki sab ko dhundte hai!

Hassena ( not looking at Karishma ): Nahi Karishma Singh, hume Aarti ki chinta ho rahi hai. Pata nahi kya hoga? Aap jakar baki sab ko treatment ke liye ready kijiye.

Saying this she left in the direction team took Aarti. In the whole process, Karishma felt a little avoided by her brother and her sister like senior. She ignored it and Started helping all out.

While helping she noticed Hassena helping Aarti to sit on the bed and talking to each other with smiles on their faces.

Karishma: Humse itna muskurakar kabhi baat nahi ki Maddamsir ne? Kahe? Humara toh kisiko pada hi nahi hai! ( Thought )

Next day,

Nalini was sitting trying to remove the bandage on her arm, but she wasn't able to do it. Maa who was entering the room for serving her Breakfast saw it. She immediately put the tray on the nearby table and held her left hand.

Nalini: Kya kar rahi hai aap Maa?

Maa: Kab tak sab kuch khud hi karti Rahengi. Hamesha akele dard sehne ka theka le rakha hai kya tune?

Nalini: Ji mai kuch samjhi nahi?

Maa: Itna bhola muh banane ke jarurat nahi hai. Sab kuch pata hai mujhe. Aab chal jaldi se haath de main Patti kar deti hun. Patti lagane mein taklif hoti hai toh kisi ko bula nahi sakti kya?

Nalini: Maa hume laga aap busy hai, aur Anu Bhaiya bhi aaj jaldi headquarters ke liye nikal gaye.

Maa: Toh main toh thi na?

Nalini: Aap toh mujhse naraj hai na!

Maa: Main bhala kyu tujhse naraj hone lagi? Mujhe sab kuch pata hai, Anu ne hume kal raat hi sab kuch bata diya tha! Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar de, Nalini beta!

Nalini ( holding Maa's hands ): Maa yeh kya kar rahi hai aap? Maafi toh mujhe hi maangni chahiye. Maine aapse jo kuch bhi kaha bilkul thik nahi tha! ( Confused ) Par mujhe yeh samajh nahi aa raha ki Anu Bhaiya ne aapko yeh sab bataya kaise? Maine toh unhe batane se mana kiya tha.

Maa: Maine tum dono ko kal subah baat karte Sun liya tha. Toh raat ko kasam dekar sab jaan liya. Ek baat bata kya ek Maa ko aapne baachon ki taklifon ke baarein mein jaanne ka koi hak nahi hai?

Nalini: Bilkul hai Maa, par aap...

Maa: Baas baas bohot ho gaya. Aab jaldi se nashta kar le main Patti kar deti hun!

Maa did the bandage and kept the plate infront of Nalini. Maa got up to leave but Nalini held her hand. She got up and hugged her mother.

Nalini: Aaj bohot din baad yeh mauka mila hai, jara aapne haaton se to kila dijiye na khaana ( like kids )

Maa chuckled. Mother daughter fed each other and had an emotional breakfast.

***************

Karishma was sitting on her desk thinking about yesterday's incidents. Santosh, Cheeta and Billu were taking the bunch of files in store room. But unfortunately, they lost their balance and files fell on Karishma.

Karishma ( annoyed ): Ka kar rahe ho tum dino?

Billu: Sorry Madam voh hum yeh files Store room mein rakhne ja rahe the. Galti se aapke upar gir gayi.

Karishma ( angrily ): Subah subah mood ka kachra kar diya. Hum ja rahe hai bahar, maddamsir ke ane se pehle ye sab filen udha kar store room mein rakhva dena.

Santosh: Ji madam!

They quickly started collecting the files when Karishma angrily went out from Thaana.

Cheeta: Santu ji, yeh aaj Karishma madam itne gusse mein kyu hai? Lagta hai pakka Pushpa ki ne hi jagda kiya hoga?

Pushpa ji who was listening to all this came infront of them.

Pushpa ji: Yeh ka bol rahe ho Cheete? Hamara kono jhagda nahi hua hai. Kal se aaisi hi hai voh!

Billu: Aaisa bhi kya hua hai Pushpa ji?

Santosh: aab voh toh Karishma madam hi bata sakti hai!

*****************

Karishma came out from the Thaana when she saw Hassena talking on mobile with someone. Karishma thought to listen the Conversation. She came closer to Hassena taking care not to come in her sight.

Hassena ( on call ): Aab kaisi ho Aarti?

Aarti ( on call ): hum thik hai! Aur vaise bhi hum thik hai kuch nahi hua hai!

Hassena ( on call ): Kaise kuch nahi hua, kitni chot ayi hai tumhe. Aur Akash thik hai na?

Aarti ( on call ): Ha voh aab thik hai. ( Hesitantly ) Vaise kab se ek baat kehni thi aapse.

Hassena ( on call ): Ha kaho na!

Aarti ( on call ): Actually, main tranfer le rahi hun. Raksha Bandhan ke din aankhri baar sabse milkar jaenge.

Hassena's face fell listening to her. Karishma saw this.

Aarti ( on call ): Dekhiye aap please mujhe maat rokiye. Hum aapse milte atte rahenge.

Hassena ( on call ): Aaisa kyu matlab achanak?

Aarti ( on call ): Achanak nahi madam. Mera toh transfer kabse tai tha. Mai toh sirf Nalini madam ki madad karne ke liye aayi thi. Aab mera kaam toh ho gaya na mujhe aab yaha se chale jana chahiye!

Hassena ( on call ): Thik hai, hamare department mein toh transfers ka silsila chalta hi rehta hai. Khair aab tum aram karo hum rakhte hai.

Aarti ( on call ): Jai Hind Madam!

They disconnected the call. Karishma had listened what Hassena was talking. And she was sure that Aarti was taking transfer. Karishma was a little bit happy due to this.

When Hassena disconnected the call and turned she saw Karishma hiding and smiling. Hassena felt weird and approached her.

Hassena: Karishma Singh aap yaha?

Karishma was startled.....
