[MPT.All are doing their regular works.HM is checking files in her cabin.Suddenly,AS enters HM's cabin]
HM:jai hind,sir!
AS:yeh sab kya chal raha hai,haseena mallik?
HM:kya..chal..raha hai matlab?humse koi galati ho gayi kya,sir?
[Habitually, PS tries to hear them standing by the door.CC and SS also join her.PS sighns them not to make noise]
AS:apke bade me commissioner sir tak complain pohoch gayi!
HM:kyun?
AS:(looking at the door)aap log!andaar ayiye.
PS:(whispering)kaha tha chup rehne ke liye!
AS:Cheeta Chaturvedi,FIR register le ayiye
[CC silently brings that and gives to AS]
AS:(to HM)Ek baat bataiye,iss FIR registrer thane me kyun rakha gaya hai?
HM:complains likhne ke liye!
AS:Toh kaha hai complains?apne koi FIR ke bina pushpa ji ki shaadi ka natak kar liya.Raees bank se payse udhar ke upar udhar lete gaya.Raees ke khilav complain kyun nehi hai yaha?
PS:oh!sir,aap isiliye naraz hai?woh toh nawab sab nehi chahte thee ki unke bete ke khilav complain likha jai.Aab,baap aapne bete ke khilav complain kyse kar sakte hai?aur wese bhi,ma hai hum raees ki?
SS:kya?
PS:ma zaysa hai.aur sabse badi baat,kiraidar hai...
AS:hum apse baate ka rahe hai?
[PS goes silent.HM sighns her not to say anything]
HM:sir,aap shant ho jayiye.Bethiye na!
AS:kyse shaant ho jaye,haseena ji?apke liye humme commisioner sir ke paas safai dena par raha hai?aab aap kasht karke humme samjhaynge?
HM:(breathes)Thik hai,sir!pushpa ji bilkool sahi keh rahe hai.Hum nawab sab ke kiraidar hai,itna toh kar hi sakte hai.
AS:accha?toh apko thane me duty nibhane ke liye rakha gaya hai ya kiradar ki furse nibhane?
HM:sir,galat maat samjhiye.Dekhiye,duty ke alava bhi ek chiz hota hai,humanity!Humne jo bhi kiya humanity ke liye kiya.Ek insaan dusre insaan ki madat karega,uske bude vakt me saatg dega!yeh hi toh zaruri hai aam janata ke liye.Aur jaha tak humme lagta hai,police ka furse yeh hi hai.
[AS now takes a seat on HM's chair.Everybody becomes a little astonished as he never sat on her chair]
AS:hmm...humanity!manavata!manushyata!
HM:sir...
AS:shoe!
HM:ji?
AS:shoe!joota!(He lifts up his leg on the other chair near him)humare joote me mayla pad gaya hai,zara saaf kar dijiye!

CC:(whispering)santu ji!yeh anuvab sir hi hai na?
SS:haan,baas moonch nehi hai!
CC:uff!yeh masoomiyat!
AS:(shouting)jaaldi!
[HM flinches as well as rest of them]

SS:lekin...
[AS gives an angry look]
SS:sorry!chup rehne ko kaha hai apne!
AS:apko aur kitni bar kehna padega,haseena mallik?roomal nikaliye!
[HM takes her handkerchief.She sits down and starts wiping his shoe.Rest of then had nothing else to do than only watching. HM looks at AS's eyes once.She notices that he has no sympathy, rather those eyes contain infinity evil]
AS:bas,bas!rehne dijiye!dhannayvad!
[HM stands up]
AS:hm...dekhiye,yaha aapke samne apke teen teen sahakarmee khadi hai,jo apko bahut manti hai. Aapko iss tarah humare joota saaf karne me dekh ne ke baad apke ek bhi junior apki madat karne nehi aayee
CC:magar...
AS:chup rehne ko kaha hai!...haan,toh haseena mallik!manavata har jaga upayukt nehi hota!department ne apko har mahina salary deta hai,manavata nehi duty nibhane ke liye.Agar humanity dikhani hi hai,toh police me kyun varti hue?NGO me kaam kijiye!
[HM feels insulted but she silenty listens to him]
AS:aam janata ki dil jitne ke liye nehi,mujrimo ko saza dene ke liye apko SHO banaya gaya hai.iss vardi me agaar rehna hai toh khudke andaar strictness rakhna padega!manavata nehi!aage se esi galati nehi honi chahiye,is that clear?

[It is as if they were challenging each other by there eyes]
[At night.HM is massaging AS's head]
AS:Wah!Haseena ji apke haat mein jaadu hai...ek chutki mein saar dard thik ho gaya...
[HM gives a faded smile]

[AS goes as sleep.HM can't belive her ears.After all she goes to balcony.As it was dirty,she wipes the floor]
HM:Ufff!!hogaya!!arey,hum toh bed sheet aur pillow lana hi bhool gaye.
[She returns to AS's room.Light is turned off.He is asleep.HM silently takes out a pillow and bed sheet from almirah.Suddenly,she notices AS's hand]
HM:(smiling)ghari pehen kar hi so gaye!
[She sits beside him,cautiously puts off his watch.She stares at his face in the dim light of lampshade]
HM:Humme mila tha kale gulab
laal gulabon ke bhed me
aaj bhi rakha samhalke usse,
apne dil ke tasveer me
Phir bhi dhoondenge usse
woh chupe ho na ho
bar bar chunenge usse hi
gulabon ke bhed phirse ho na ho
[She holds his hand]
HM:pata nehi kyun hum par itna gussa nikal rahe hai aap.lekin humme pata hai,aap ko bhi kar rahe hai duty aur furse ke liye ka rahe.Isiliye humare dil me aapke khilav na kabhi complain thi aur nahi rahegi.
[She was about to go but then she again looks at him.At first she hesitates but then,she kisses on his forehead]
HM:oho!asli kaam karna hi bhool gaye
[HM takes the pillow and bed sheet gets out of the room.After she leaves,AS opens his eyes.He touches the place HM kissed on]
AS:sahi kaha apne,har gulab laal nehi hota.(he gets emotional)
AS:(thinking)itna kaafi nehi hai.Humme aur bhi kathor banna padega.
