The Phoenix (Part-7)

"Sir yeh rahi location...par yahan kuch nhi...!" Haseena said to Anubhav, showing him the parking area on video call. "Camera jara upar chhat ki taraf kariye toh." She hummed and turned the camera to ceiling. "Is chhat ki uchai kitni hai Haseena ji?" He asked. "Umm....sir maximum 9 feet se kam hogi." She replied. "Hum jahan par khade the wahan jakar khade ho jaiye aur camera chhat ki taraf hi rakhiyega..!"  She did as he said. "Santosh Sharma!" He called her.

"Ji sir kahiye kya karna hai mujhe?" SS asked.  "Ek stool ki vyavastha kariye." He ordered. "Sir yeh galat baat hai aap mujhse MS ke liye stool lane ko kah rahi ho, mujhe bhi baithna hai..!" SS said innocently. "Santosh Sharma...!  (Strictly)"

"Toh kis liye stool manga rahe hai aap?" SS asked innocently. "Haseena ji jahan khadi hai wahan se ek kadam pichhe hat kar upar dekhiye." She did as he said. "Sir yahan toh kuch nishan hai..!" SS said suspiciously. "Ji woh nishan shayad isliye hai kyunki un logon ne gun wahi fit ki thi (to SS)...Haseena ji dhyan se dekhiye shayad ungliyon ke nishan mil jaye kuch."

"Par sir hamare paas fingerprint lene ke liye kit hai nhi hai..aap toh jante hai hum mahila police thane wale hai, yeh crime scene investigate karne ki aadat nhi hai hume." SS said sadly.  "Toh phone karke mangaiye aur wahan ke CCTV se kuch din pehle ki footage bhi lijiye aur sath mein us camera par se bhi fingerprint le lena...aur Haseena ji hotel ke jitne bhi footage hai hamare us hotel mein jane ke baad sab lekar aaiye...!" He ordered.  "Ji sir...!

"Kam ho jaye toh jald se jald hum miliye." He said and hung up the call according to him.

"Kam se kam is halat mein toh kaam chhod kar aaram kar lo." Maa said, stroking his hair. "Aaram aur hamara rishta saalon pehle hi khatm ho gya tha maa." He said smiling. "Humne doctor se baat ki unka kehna hai ki kal shaam tak discharge mil jayega par tumhe thoda savadhan rahna padega kyunki taanke (stitches)  abhi bhi taza hai toh khulne ka dar hai." He hummed.

"Waise ek baat kehna tha agar bura na mane toh kahu?" Maa asked. "Aapki baat ka bura maan kar hume narak jana hai kya..!" He said smiling. "Dekh Anu ab teri umar ho gyi hai aur kuch saalon mein tera transfer field duty se desk duty mein hi jayega...phir jab duty se ghar aayega toh mujhe roj roj dekh kar bore ho jayega....ab boriyat se bachne ka sabse accha tarika hai bacche aur bacchon ke liye karni padegi tujhe shaadi....toh kar lo na shaadi...!" Maa requested with puppy eyes. "Baat toh aapki sahi hai par baccho ke liye shaadi ki avashyakata hai..!" He said smiling. "Toh tu kya woh live in mein rahega?"

"Kya maa..aisa kuch nhi hai" He said with a smile. "Dekh Anu single aadmi ladki godh nhi le sakta aur mujhe pota poti dono chahiye..!"

"Haan toh dono milenge (maa-kaise) hum ek anathaalaya ko godh le lenge phir aaram se hum dono wahan aate jate rahenge...!" He said smilingly.

"Matlab tu shaadi nhi karega?" Maa asked angrily. "Nhi par aap jidd kar rahi toh ek shart par taiyar hai hum vivah ke liye." He paused. "Kaun si shart?"

"Humse vivah karne ke baad bhi hamari patni hone ki pehchan nhi milegi unhe, humse samay dene ki mang nhi karengi aur na hi woh kabhi humse santan ki mang karengi."

"Yeh kaisi shartein hai (angrily) Teri do sharte toh maan jaye koi par ek aurat maa banane ki khushi nhi chhod sakti, bilkul nhi...tujhe nhi karni mat kar." Maa said grumpily. "Wahi toh hum kah rahe hai hum nhi chahte vivah karna, kisi masoom ki hasti khelti duniya se alag kar hamari duniya mein le aana jisme sivay intezaar aur dukh ke kuch nhi hai." He said with a smile.

"Aisa kuch nhi hoga tu koshish toh kar ek baar shayad koi mil jaye jo tujhe samjhe..."

"Haha...mazak accha tha maa, hume aaj tak hum khud nhi samjh paye koi aur kaise samjh payega (smiling) waise bhi maa har ladki ke kuch sapne hote hai, ummeedein hoti hai..apni shaadi aur uski baad ki zindagi ke liye aur hum na woh sapne pure kar payenge aur na ummeed isliye kyu kisi ki zindagi barbaad karna...." He said with a smile. "Hmm....tera matlab hai tere Baba ne meri zindagi barbaad kar di mujhse shaadi karke?" Maa asked seriously. "Nhi maa aapke aur Baba ki baat alag hai aur hamari zindagi alag, hum chah kar bhi apne vishay mein kisi ko nhi bata sakte kyunki koi bhi hamara shatru ho sakta hai par Baba ne aapko sab kuch bata kar hi aapka uttar puchha tha." He explained his point of view.
