The next day, Haseena was getting ready for thana in her uniform when Karishma entered the room, searching for her perfume bottle. Her eyes fell on haseena who was spraying the perfume on herself with a jolly mood unaware of Karishma's presence yet. She went near her and said huskily in her ears from behind "Kamal hai aap jaisi haseena iss na-cheez ka perfume istemal kar rahi hain. Hamari keemat badha di aapne aaj toh."Haseena was startled with her sudden appearance and the perfume bottle slipped from her hand and hit the floor, breaking into pieces. Karishma smacked her forehead and haseena turned towards her with an irked face and chided "Aise kaun aata hai bhooton ke jaise, dekhiye hamari perfume bottle tod di aapne!"
Karishma raised her eyebrows and said with a surprised smile "Aapki perfume bottle aur woh bhi humne tod di? Hum toh bus..."
Haseena said without letting her complete with an irked face "Aur nahi toh kya, aise peeche se achanak kaun aata hai."
Haseena goes to clean the pieces from the floor when Karishma held her hand and said "Aap chhoriye ye sab, Malaika se keh denge woh kar degi, lag jayega haath me."
Haseena jerked her hand and said glaring at her "Aapse matlab."
She moved out of the room angrily and sat on the chair near the dining table. Karishma followed her outside with a poor face. She asked Malaika to clean the glass pieces from their room who was working in the kitchen.
She sat down beside Haseena with a sigh and said with a pleading tone "Acha thik hai hamari galti thi."
She served the breakfast on the plate and forwarded a morsel towards Haseena but haseena didn't react to that and started to serve for herself in a different plate. Karishma held her hand and said in a soft tone "Tweety thoda toh kuch boliye taaki hamara din sahi se guzre..aise naraz rahengi kya choti si baat ko lekar."
Haseena still stayed silent and didn't even touched her breakfast. Karishma was about to say something when Karishma's phone rang, she looked once at haseena then unwillingly picked it up saying "Ha cheete bolo...hmm.. Thik hai, aate hai hum abhi."
Karishma said getting up from the chair "Haseena hum nikalte hai, woh Priya wale case me kuch lafda hua hai, cheeta aur Rajvir un ladko ko thane lane gaye the, to shayad koi vivaad hua hai."
She was about to move when haseena held her wrist firmly and made her sit on the chair again. She was about to say something to oppose when haseena shoved a morsel inside her mouth saying with stern tone "Bina khaye jane ki Sochi bhi na toh khair nahi hai aapki, kaam aur sehat dono zaruri hai."
Karishma looked at her in surprise while chewing her food. Haseena feeds her again with a fruit piece and then ate a morsel herself. They continued eating like this when Karishma said "Bus ho gaya hamara, ab aap khayiye, hum aate hai." Haseena only shook her head and again held her wrist and forwarded a glass of juice towards Karishma with the other hand and gestured her to drink it.
After she finished her juice, she stood up saying with a playful smile "Ab jayein hum rani sahiba."
Haseena nodded with a fretful expression which made Karishma chuckle. She kissed her forehead with love and said "Shaam ko aa kar mana lenge aapko hum."
Haseena couldn't help but smile at this and said "Itni asani se nahi manenge hum. Khair chaliye der ho rahi hai, Milte hain Thane me."
Karishma smiled and said "Dekhte hain." Saying this she moved outside the door waving her hand at haseena. Haseena moved towards the balcony with her juice glass in her hand. Karishma was wearing her helmet when her eyes fell on haseena who was standing in the balcony and watching her with a smile. She smiled back at her & blew a flying kiss at her after looking around in the parking area. Haseena smiled wholeheartedly at this and she too blew a kiss back at her lovingly. She watched her admiringly till Karishma started her bike and disappeared from her sight.
.
.At thana, everybody was assembled in tha hall while cheeta and Rajvir were explaining to haseena how those guys misbehaved with them when they tried to bring them to thana for inquiry.
Rajvir said "Madam sir, ye log baaton se manne wale nhi hai, wo restaurant ka owner inke pitaji ka dost hai. Ye log roz waha jate hain. Hamare saamne bhi ladkiyon ke sath badsaluki kar rahe the, magar hum kuch kar nhi paye."
Cheeta added "ji madam sir, humne jab unhe apne sath aane ko kaha toh humse hi badtameezi karne lage yaha tak ki maar pit par utaru ho gaye."
Karishma gritted her teeth and said in an angry tone "itni himmat ho gayi hai inlogon ki. Madam sir humne kaha tha na, ye laaton ke bhoot hai, baaton se nahi maanenge. Hum abhi jate hai, ghasit kar Thane leke aate hai unko."
Haseena said in a firm tone "Aur usse kya hoga.. humesha ki Tarah saboot ke abhav me wo log chhut jayenge aur ulta humare thane par hi bhari pad jayega."
Karishma argued "Magar yaha aise hath par hath dhar ke baithe nahi reh sakte hai na madam sir humlog.
Haseena said with a knowing smile crossing her hands at her "Ji nahi, kuch socha hai humne, jisse hume saboot aur gunehgar dono mil jayenge."
Everyone looked at her in confusion while Santosh said with excitement "Madam sir, pakka aapko koi solid idea aaya hai na, tabhi aap ye wali smile deti hain."
Pushpaji asked with confusion "Hume bhi to batayiye na madam sir, idea kya hai."
Haseena smirked and said "Sting operation..!! Rajvir ab wo log kab aane wale hai uss bar me?"
Rajvir replied "Kal us MLA ke bete ka birthday hai, to usko celebrate karne wo log fir se wahi aane hain."
Haseena said with a firm smile "Toh MPT team ready ho jayiye kal shaam hum sab party me ja rahe hain, billu tum bhi ready rehna. Cheeta aur Rajvir aap log waha bahar hamara wait karenge kyuki aapko wo log pehchan lenge."
Everybody understood her plan and nodded their heads with determination and said "Yes madam sir."
They all get back to their work and haseena went back to her cabin.
.
.It was now the time to go home as the duty hours were over. Haseena came out of her cabin and asked "aaj night duty kiski hai pushpa ji?"
Pushpa ji told "Ji Santu ki hai madam sir."
Haseena nodded looking towards Karishma's desk which was empty. She asked "Karishma Singh ghar chali gayi kya?"
Santu replied "Nahi madam sir, wo toh lunch ke baad se kahi bahar gayi hain, abhi tak nahi aayi hai."
Haseena looked once at pushpa ji hopefully and pushpaji replied "humein bata kar nahi gayi hai aaj."
Haseena shook her head with some thoughts and called billu "Billu humne jo parcel mangwaya to woh le aaye?"
Billu said in his "Yes madam sir, billu the spy aapka kaam kabhi nahi taal sakta. Ye lijiye aapka parcel."
Haseena takes it while santu asked curiously "Madam sir iss box me kya hai?"
Pushpa ji chided "Ae santu unka kuch niji saman hoga, tumko kya karna hai jaan kar."
Haseena smiled "Nahi pushpaji aisi koi baat nahi hai, darasal yeh humne ek watch li hai Karishma ke liye. Wahi mangwaya hai billu se. Aap log dekhenge?"
She opened the box and showed the watch to everyone. Pushpa ji said with an excited smile "Waah madam sir, ye toh bahot Sundar ghadi hai. Karishma to khush ho jayegi bilkul."
Santu said "ha madam sir, kya cool choice hai aapki"
Haseena genuinely smiled and shook her head. After a while, they all left for their home.
.
.Haseena was sitting on her couch at home with a worried face dialling Karishma's number for the 4th time. This time Karishma picked it up and before Haseena could burst on her she quickly said in a soft "Aa gye hain, bahar khade hai, bike chala rahe the aur phone silent pe the, please mat dantiyega."
Haseena quickly opened the door with a stern face "Ji nahi, bilkul bhi nahi daantenge. Aapka na hum sar hi fod denge aaj toh."
Karishma gave her a toothy grin with an innocent face which made haseena more annoyed. She moved inside and picked up the broom nearby. Karishma took a deep breath in relief thinking that she would pacify her inside the house and keep her shoes on the shoe rack. She said "Yaar tweety gusse me safai kaun karta hai."
But she was stunned when she saw haseena walking towards her with a broom in her hand and an angry face. She quickly said with a stammering tone "Ama kya kar rahi hain aap haseena, dekhiye ye sab acha lgta hai kya."
Haseena yelled showing her the broom "Hum pagalon ke jaise aapko phone kar rahe hain, pareshan ho rahe hain, yeh acha lagta hai na."
Karishma stepped back saying with a poor expression "Nahi acha toh yeh bhi nahi lagta."
Haseena yelled again trying to hit her with the broom "Time dekha hai kya hua hai, ghar pe koi aapka intezar kar raha hai, yeh bhul gayi hongi na aap, magar ab sahi se yaad rahega aapko."
Karishma who was dodging the broom said "Ama kuch nahi bhule hum, Bus..bus inform karna bhul gaye..aap maarna band kijiye warna.."
Haseena quickly hit her back with the broom and said angrily "Warna kya Haan."
Karishma smiled mischievously wincing in pain a bit "Warna aap ki badi badnami hogi, ki dekho dekho SHO hoke biwi pe hath uthati hai."
Haseena again hit her arm "Maskari karni hai na aapko."
Karishma held her arm in pain and still smiled shamelessly "Tweety, log kya kahenge, hamari chehekne wali biwi ab chonch bhi maarne lagi hai."
Haseena pushed her outside the house and yelled shutting the door with loud sound "Jayiye unhi logon ke paas jayiye..humse baat bhi mat kariyega."
Karishma laughed heartily at this 'filmy grumpy wife' avatar of haseena and was enjoying every bit of it. She sang lovingly from the other side of the door "Koi haseena jab ruth jati hai toh, aur bhi haseen ho jati hai..!"
Haseena's heart started to melt on this adorable antic of Karishma but she still said with an angry tone "Rahiye aap bahar hi." She stood inside with her hands crossed with a grumpy face thinking with herself "Yaha hum fikar me ghule ja rahe the, inko masti sujh rahi hai. Kuch jyada to nahi kar diya na humne. Chot lagi hogi unko fir bhi daant dikha rahi thi."
Karishma on the other side continued knocking at the door, calling her name sweetly and singing different songs to pacify her.
